00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,039
A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:12,740
Abridged by Dr. ‘Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:18,410
Surah Yunus.

5
00:00:18,410 --> 00:00:22,730
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

6
00:00:22,730 --> 00:00:27,559
“For those who do good is the best (reward) and more (thereto). Neither dust nor ignominy cometh near their faces. Such are rightful owners of the Garden; they will abide therein.” (10:26)

7
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:33,039
“For those who do good is the best (reward) and more (thereto). Neither dust nor ignominy cometh near their faces. Such are rightful owners of the Garden; they will abide therein.” (10:26)

8
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:39,109
Those are the people of Paradise.

9
00:00:39,109 --> 00:00:42,469
They shall abide therein forever.

10
00:00:42,469 --> 00:00:46,009
For those who perfected their worship of Allah,

11
00:00:46,009 --> 00:00:50,049
and obeyed Him in what He commanded and forbade, is Paradise.

12
00:00:50,049 --> 00:00:54,130
He promised them, along with the best reward, an increase beyond it.

13
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:58,210
Among this increase is that He will honor them by allowing them to gaze upon His Countenance.

14
00:00:58,210 --> 00:01:01,210
And He will grant them chambers of pearls.

15
00:01:01,409 --> 00:01:04,609
And He will increase them in forgiveness and pleasure.

16
00:01:04,609 --> 00:01:07,209
No gloom shall cover their faces,

17
00:01:07,209 --> 00:01:11,810
as if they were covered in dust from sorrow.

18
00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:14,329
Nor shall there be any humiliation upon them.

19
00:01:14,329 --> 00:01:17,930
These are the people of Paradise and its inhabitants.

20
00:01:17,930 --> 00:01:22,120
They shall remain therein forever.

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:29,439
“And those who earn ill-deeds, (for them) requital of each ill-deed by the like thereof; and ignominy overtaketh them - They have no protector from Allah - as if their faces had been covered with a cloak of darkest night. Such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.” (10:27)

22
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:31,879
And humiliation shall cover them.

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,040
“And those who earn ill-deeds, (for them) requital of each ill-deed by the like thereof; and ignominy overtaketh them - They have no protector from Allah - as if their faces had been covered with a cloak of darkest night. Such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.” (10:27)

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:43,400
“And those who earn ill-deeds, (for them) requital of each ill-deed by the like thereof; and ignominy overtaketh them - They have no protector from Allah - as if their faces had been covered with a cloak of darkest night. Such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.” (10:27)

25
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:50,140
Those are the people of the Fire.

26
00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:54,909
They shall abide therein forever.

27
00:01:54,909 --> 00:01:57,950
As for those who committed evil deeds in this world,

28
00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:03,150
the recompense for an evil deed—the evil they committed in the world—

29
00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:06,590
is a like punishment from Allah in the Hereafter.

30
00:02:06,590 --> 00:02:11,550
Humiliation and disgrace shall cover them due to the punishment of Allah upon them.

31
00:02:11,550 --> 00:02:16,229
They shall have no protector against Allah to defend them when He punishes them,

32
00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:19,219
nor anyone to intervene between Him and them.

33
00:02:19,219 --> 00:02:25,180
It will be as if their faces were covered with pieces of the dark night.

34
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:27,500
These are the people of the Fire.

35
00:02:27,539 --> 00:02:30,680
They shall remain therein.

36
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:39,000
“On the day when We gather them all together, then We say unto those who ascribed partners (unto Us): Stand back, ye and your (pretended) partners (of Allah)! And We separate them, the one from the other, and their (pretended) partners say: It was not us ye worshipped.” (10:28)

37
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,680
Stay in your place, you and your partners.

38
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,479
Then We will separate them.

39
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:56,509
“On the day when We gather them all together, then We say unto those who ascribed partners (unto Us): Stand back, ye and your (pretended) partners (of Allah)! And We separate them, the one from the other, and their (pretended) partners say: It was not us ye worshipped.” (10:28)

40
00:02:56,550 --> 00:03:00,629
On the Day We gather all of creation for the station of reckoning,

41
00:03:00,629 --> 00:03:06,509
We will then say to those who associated gods and rivals with Allah:

42
00:03:06,509 --> 00:03:09,909
"Stay in your place, you polytheists,

43
00:03:09,909 --> 00:03:16,030
and your partners whom you used to worship instead of Allah."

44
00:03:16,030 --> 00:03:20,789
We will then cause a separation between the polytheists and what they associated with Him.

45
00:03:20,789 --> 00:03:23,270
When it is said to the polytheists:

46
00:03:23,310 --> 00:03:26,990
"Follow what you used to worship instead of Allah,"

47
00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:29,629
and their gods are set up for them,

48
00:03:29,629 --> 00:03:33,189
they will say, "We used to worship these."

49
00:03:33,189 --> 00:03:39,569
The gods will then say to them, "You did not worship us."

50
00:03:39,569 --> 00:03:44,569
“Allah sufficeth as a witness between us and you, that we were unaware of your worship.” (10:29)

51
00:03:44,569 --> 00:03:50,889
“Allah sufficeth as a witness between us and you, that we were unaware of your worship.” (10:29)

52
00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:55,490
The partners of the polytheists—the gods and idols—will say:

53
00:03:55,490 --> 00:04:00,569
"Allah is sufficient as a witness between us and you, O polytheists,

54
00:04:00,569 --> 00:04:04,729
for He knows that we were unaware of what you were saying.

55
00:04:04,729 --> 00:04:09,849
We were completely oblivious to your worship of us instead of Allah;

56
00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:13,460
we were neither aware of it nor did we know."

57
00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:18,939
There, every soul will test what it has sent forth.

58
00:04:18,939 --> 00:04:23,500
“There doth every soul experience that which it did aforetime, and they are returned unto Allah, their rightful Lord, and that which they used to invent hath failed them.” (10:30)

59
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:31,129
And what they used to fabricate will vanish from them.

60
00:04:31,129 --> 00:04:36,689
At that moment, every soul will be tested by the good or evil it has sent forth.

61
00:04:36,689 --> 00:04:39,730
These polytheists will return on that Day

62
00:04:39,730 --> 00:04:45,050
to Allah, who is their true Lord and Owner, in whom there is no doubt.

63
00:04:45,089 --> 00:04:50,449
And what they used to invent—the lies and fabrications against Allah—will prove false,

64
00:04:50,449 --> 00:04:56,430
such as their claim that their idols were partners to Allah.

65
00:04:56,430 --> 00:05:02,550
“Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Who provideth for you from the sky and the earth, or Who owneth hearing and sight; and Who bringeth forth the living from the dead and bringeth forth the dead from the living; and Who directeth the course? They will say: Allah. Then say: Will ye not then keep your duty (unto Him)?” (10:31)

66
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:06,029
Or who possesses the hearing?

67
00:05:06,029 --> 00:05:10,670
Or who possesses the hearing and the sight?

68
00:05:10,670 --> 00:05:15,350
“Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Who provideth for you from the sky and the earth, or Who owneth hearing and sight; and Who bringeth forth the living from the dead and bringeth forth the dead from the living; and Who directeth the course? They will say: Allah. Then say: Will ye not then keep your duty (unto Him)?” (10:31)

69
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:18,949
“Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Who provideth for you from the sky and the earth, or Who owneth hearing and sight; and Who bringeth forth the living from the dead and bringeth forth the dead from the living; and Who directeth the course? They will say: Allah. Then say: Will ye not then keep your duty (unto Him)?” (10:31)

70
00:05:18,949 --> 00:05:21,790
And He brings the living out of the dead.

71
00:05:21,790 --> 00:05:24,949
And who manages the affair?

72
00:05:24,949 --> 00:05:28,589
They will say, "Allah."

73
00:05:28,589 --> 00:05:34,040
Say, "Will you not then fear Him?"

74
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,519
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists:

75
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:41,240
"Who provides for you from the sky, the rain and the downpour?

76
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,759
And who brings forth from the earth your sustenance and food that He grows for you?

77
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:53,279
Or who is it that possesses your hearing—which you hear with—to increase its power,

78
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,839
or take it away from you and make you deaf?

79
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:02,040
And who possesses your sight—which you see with—to grant you light,

80
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,879
or take away its light and make you blind?

81
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:09,079
And who brings the living thing out of the dead,

82
00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:12,160
and brings the dead thing out of the living?

83
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,839
And who manages the affair of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them?"

84
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,879
They will surely answer you:

85
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,110
"The One who does all that is Allah."

86
00:06:22,110 --> 00:06:27,110
Say, "Will you not then fear the punishment of Allah for your polytheism,

87
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:32,290
and your worshiping alongside Him those who do not provide you with anything?"

88
00:06:32,290 --> 00:06:36,449
“Such then is Allah, your rightful Lord. After the Truth what is there saving error? How then are ye turned away!” (10:32)

89
00:06:36,449 --> 00:06:42,009
“Such then is Allah, your rightful Lord. After the Truth what is there saving error? How then are ye turned away!” (10:32)

90
00:06:42,009 --> 00:06:47,180
So how are you deluded?

91
00:06:47,180 --> 00:06:48,819
O people,

92
00:06:48,819 --> 00:06:51,699
this One who performs these actions

93
00:06:51,699 --> 00:06:55,300
is Allah, your true Lord, in whom there is no doubt.

94
00:06:55,300 --> 00:07:00,180
So what is there beyond the truth except straying from the straight path?

95
00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:02,819
If the truth is as such,

96
00:07:02,819 --> 00:07:05,819
then your claiming anyone else as a god or lord

97
00:07:05,819 --> 00:07:09,069
is error and a departure from the truth.

98
00:07:09,069 --> 00:07:12,790
So how are you turned away from guidance and the truth,

99
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:18,560
while you admit that the One from whom you are turning away is the Truth?

100
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,879
Thus has the word of your Lord been justified against those who defiantly disobeyed:

101
00:07:23,879 --> 00:07:29,029
that they will not believe.

102
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:33,670
Just as these polytheists have been turned away from the truth to error,

103
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:37,430
His decree and judgment have become binding, according to His prior knowledge,

104
00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:41,790
upon those who departed from the obedience of their Lord to His disobedience:

105
00:07:41,790 --> 00:07:45,350
that they will not believe in the oneness of Allah,

106
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:50,740
nor in the prophethood of His Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

107
00:07:50,740 --> 00:07:59,860
“Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that produceth Creation and then reproduceth it? Say: Allah produceth Creation, then reproduceth it. How then, are ye misled!” (10:34)

108
00:07:59,860 --> 00:08:05,220
“Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that produceth Creation and then reproduceth it? Say: Allah produceth Creation, then reproduceth it. How then, are ye misled!” (10:34)

109
00:08:05,220 --> 00:08:10,550
So how are you deluded?

110
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:14,829
Say, O Muhammad, "Is there among your gods and idols

111
00:08:14,829 --> 00:08:18,230
anyone who originates the creation of something from nothing,

112
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:23,470
then destroys it after creating it, then restores it to its original state?"

113
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:27,430
They are unable to even claim that for them.

114
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:30,389
Say to them then, O Muhammad:

115
00:08:30,389 --> 00:08:34,950
"Allah begins the creation and originates it from nothing,

116
00:08:34,990 --> 00:08:37,470
then He destroys it when He wills,

117
00:08:37,470 --> 00:08:40,350
then He restores it when He desires."

118
00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:47,179
So how are you turned away and diverted from the straight path and the way of righteousness?

119
00:08:47,179 --> 00:08:54,980
“Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that leadeth to the Truth? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth. Is He Who leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed, or he who findeth not the way unless he (himself) be guided. What aileth you? How judge ye?” (10:35)

120
00:08:54,980 --> 00:08:58,379
“Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that leadeth to the Truth? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth. Is He Who leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed, or he who findeth not the way unless he (himself) be guided. What aileth you? How judge ye?” (10:35)

121
00:08:58,379 --> 00:09:04,179
“Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that leadeth to the Truth? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth. Is He Who leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed, or he who findeth not the way unless he (himself) be guided. What aileth you? How judge ye?” (10:35)

122
00:09:04,179 --> 00:09:13,419
Is there one who does not guide unless he is guided?

123
00:09:13,419 --> 00:09:19,740
“Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that leadeth to the Truth? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth. Is He Who leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed, or he who findeth not the way unless he (himself) be guided. What aileth you? How judge ye?” (10:35)

124
00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:23,139
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists:

125
00:09:23,139 --> 00:09:29,100
"Is there among your gods anyone who guides the straying one from his error to the straight path?"

126
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:32,419
When they say "No" and admit to that,

127
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:37,740
say to them, "Then Allah guides the one who has strayed from guidance to the truth."

128
00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:41,460
Is then the one who guides, O people, the straying one to the truth

129
00:09:41,460 --> 00:09:44,779
more worthy to be followed in what he calls to,

130
00:09:44,779 --> 00:09:49,659
or the one who does not guide unless another guide directs him to it?

131
00:09:49,659 --> 00:09:52,419
“Say: Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that leadeth to the Truth? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth. Is He Who leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed, or he who findeth not the way unless he (himself) be guided. What aileth you? How judge ye?” (10:35)

132
00:09:52,419 --> 00:09:59,340
Do you not know that the One who guides to the truth is more worthy to be followed than the one who does not guide to anything?

133
00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:02,940
So you should abandon the worship of one who does not guide to anything,

134
00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:07,139
and follow the One who guides you in the darkness of the land and the sea,

135
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:10,779
and devote your worship sincerely to Him.

136
00:10:10,779 --> 00:10:16,500
“Most of them follow not but conjecture. Assuredly conjecture can by no means take the place of truth. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do.” (10:36)

137
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:23,169
Indeed, conjecture does not avail against the truth at all.

138
00:10:23,169 --> 00:10:30,940
“Most of them follow not but conjecture. Assuredly conjecture can by no means take the place of truth. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do.” (10:36)

139
00:10:30,980 --> 00:10:34,340
And most of these polytheists do not follow

140
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:38,539
anything but what they have no knowledge of its reality or validity.

141
00:10:38,539 --> 00:10:41,539
Rather, they are in doubt and uncertainty regarding it.

142
00:10:41,539 --> 00:10:45,220
Indeed, doubt does not avail against certainty at all.

143
00:10:45,220 --> 00:10:51,059
Indeed, Allah has knowledge of what these polytheists do in following conjecture

144
00:10:51,059 --> 00:10:53,820
and denying the absolute truth.

145
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:57,500
And He is in wait for them.

146
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:03,940
“And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind - Therein is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds.” (10:37)

147
00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:12,539
But it is a confirmation of what was before it.

148
00:11:12,539 --> 00:11:19,659
“And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind - Therein is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds.” (10:37)

149
00:11:19,659 --> 00:11:24,820
This Qur'an could not have been fabricated by anyone other than Allah,

150
00:11:24,820 --> 00:11:27,259
but it is from Allah.

151
00:11:27,259 --> 00:11:33,539
He revealed it as a confirmation of the scriptures that preceded it, which were revealed to the prophets of Allah,

152
00:11:33,539 --> 00:11:39,460
and as an explanation of the Book that Allah decreed for the Ummah of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

153
00:11:39,460 --> 00:11:41,659
in His prior knowledge.

154
00:11:41,659 --> 00:11:45,539
There is no doubt that it is a confirmation of what was before it,

155
00:11:45,539 --> 00:11:49,179
and a detailed explanation of the Book from the Lord of the worlds,

156
00:11:49,179 --> 00:11:53,330
not a fabrication from anyone else.

157
00:11:53,330 --> 00:11:57,490
Or do they say, "He fabricated it"?

158
00:11:57,490 --> 00:12:13,409
“Or say they: He hath invented it? Say: Then bring a surah like unto it, and call (for help) on all ye can besides Allah, if ye are truthful.” (10:38)

159
00:12:14,789 --> 00:12:17,590
Or do these polytheists say,

160
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:21,470
"Muhammad fabricated this Qur'an from himself"?

161
00:12:21,470 --> 00:12:23,669
Say, O Muhammad, to them:

162
00:12:23,669 --> 00:12:28,029
"If it were as you say—that I fabricated and invented it—

163
00:12:28,070 --> 00:12:30,549
then you are like me among the Arabs,

164
00:12:30,549 --> 00:12:33,230
and my tongue is like your tongue.

165
00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:36,669
So bring a surah like this Qur'an,

166
00:12:36,669 --> 00:12:44,309
and call upon, O polytheists, whomever you are able to call upon from your allies and partners besides Allah."

167
00:12:44,309 --> 00:12:49,429
For you will never be able to bring a surah like it,

168
00:12:49,429 --> 00:12:53,740
if you are truthful in your claim that Muhammad fabricated it.

169
00:12:53,779 --> 00:12:55,659
But if you do not do that,

170
00:12:55,659 --> 00:13:00,100
then there is no doubt that you are liars in your claim.

171
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:08,620
“Nay, but they denied that, the knowledge whereof they could not compass, and whereof the interpretation (in events) hath not yet come unto them. Even so did those before them deny. Then see what was the consequence for the wrong-doers!” (10:39)

172
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:13,820
Likewise did those before them deny.

173
00:13:13,820 --> 00:13:21,289
So observe how the end of the wrongdoers was.

174
00:13:21,330 --> 00:13:25,370
It is not that these polytheists deny you, O Muhammad,

175
00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:32,970
but they deny what they have not encompassed in knowledge of what Allah revealed to you in this Qur'an,

176
00:13:32,970 --> 00:13:36,210
regarding the warning of their punishment for their disbelief in their Lord.

177
00:13:36,210 --> 00:13:41,009
And the explanation of what that warning leads to has not yet come to them,

178
00:13:41,009 --> 00:13:45,129
which Allah has threatened them with in this Qur'an.

179
00:13:45,129 --> 00:13:48,769
Just as these polytheists denied, O Muhammad,

180
00:13:48,809 --> 00:13:52,649
so did the nations that passed away before them deny.

181
00:13:52,649 --> 00:13:57,490
So observe, O Muhammad, how the end of those who disbelieved in Allah was.

182
00:13:57,490 --> 00:14:01,169
For the end of these people from the disbelievers of your tribe

183
00:14:01,169 --> 00:14:03,970
is like the end of those who were before them,

184
00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:07,840
if they do not repent from their disbelief.

185
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:16,039
“And of them is he who believeth therein, and of them is he who believeth not therein, and thy Lord is Best Aware of the corrupters.” (10:40)

186
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:22,259
And your Lord is most knowing of the corrupters.

187
00:14:22,259 --> 00:14:25,139
And among your people from Quraysh, O Muhammad,

188
00:14:25,139 --> 00:14:27,620
are those who will believe in the Qur'an,

189
00:14:27,620 --> 00:14:30,419
and among them are those who will not believe in it.

190
00:14:30,419 --> 00:14:33,460
And Allah is most knowing of the deniers among them.

191
00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:35,019
Nothing is hidden from Him,

192
00:14:35,019 --> 00:14:38,480
and He is in wait to punish them.

193
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,159
“And if they deny thee, say: Unto me my work, and unto you your work. Ye are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what ye do.” (10:41)

194
00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:44,360
And for you is your deed.

195
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:50,639
“And if they deny thee, say: Unto me my work, and unto you your work. Ye are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what ye do.” (10:41)

196
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:57,779
“And if they deny thee, say: Unto me my work, and unto you your work. Ye are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what ye do.” (10:41)

197
00:14:57,779 --> 00:15:01,580
And if these polytheists deny you, O Muhammad,

198
00:15:01,580 --> 00:15:04,500
then say to them, "O people,

199
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:06,419
for me is my religion and my deed,

200
00:15:06,419 --> 00:15:09,299
and for you is your religion and your deed."

201
00:15:09,299 --> 00:15:11,500
“And if they deny thee, say: Unto me my work, and unto you your work. Ye are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what ye do.” (10:41)

202
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:14,220
And you will not be held accountable for his crime.

203
00:15:14,259 --> 00:15:17,019
“And if they deny thee, say: Unto me my work, and unto you your work. Ye are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what ye do.” (10:41)

204
00:15:17,019 --> 00:15:20,980
Nor will I be held accountable for the crime of your deed.

205
00:15:20,980 --> 00:15:26,940
“And of them are some who listen unto thee. But canst thou make the deaf to hear even though they apprehend not?” (10:42)

206
00:15:26,940 --> 00:15:30,820
Can you make the deaf hear?

207
00:15:30,820 --> 00:15:35,500
“And of them are some who listen unto thee. But canst thou make the deaf to hear even though they apprehend not?” (10:42)

208
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,419
And among these polytheists

209
00:15:37,419 --> 00:15:39,940
are those who listen to your speech.

210
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:42,460
Can you create hearing for them,

211
00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:44,179
even if they have no hearing

212
00:15:44,179 --> 00:15:46,980
with which they can reason? Or am I [the one who does that]?

213
00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:50,259
Just as you are unable to make someone hear, O Muhammad,

214
00:15:50,259 --> 00:15:52,220
whom He has deprived of hearing,

215
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:55,700
so too are you unable to make someone understand My command and prohibition,

216
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:58,500
a heart that He has deprived of understanding that.

217
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:01,220
This is an announcement from Allah to His servants

218
00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:03,940
that the granting of success to believe is in His hand,

219
00:16:03,940 --> 00:16:07,360
not in the hand of anyone else.

220
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:13,470
“And of them is he who looketh toward thee. But canst thou guide the blind even though they see not?” (10:43)

221
00:16:13,470 --> 00:16:16,389
Can you guide the blind?

222
00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:22,019
“And of them is he who looketh toward thee. But canst thou guide the blind even though they see not?” (10:43)

223
00:16:22,019 --> 00:16:23,860
And among these polytheists

224
00:16:23,860 --> 00:16:26,419
are those who look at you, O Muhammad,

225
00:16:26,419 --> 00:16:30,179
and see your signs and proofs of your prophethood.

226
00:16:30,179 --> 00:16:32,139
Can you, O Muhammad,

227
00:16:32,139 --> 00:16:35,220
provide sight for those who look at you

228
00:16:35,220 --> 00:16:37,460
and at your evidences and proofs,

229
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,340
yet are not granted success to believe in you?

230
00:16:40,340 --> 00:16:42,659
[Can you provide] eyes for those who are blind,

231
00:16:42,659 --> 00:16:45,539
so that they may be guided by them and see?

232
00:16:45,539 --> 00:16:48,340
Just as you are unable to do that,

233
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:52,820
so too are you unable to make them see the path of righteousness,

234
00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:55,379
neither you nor anyone other than Me,

235
00:16:55,379 --> 00:16:59,440
because that is in My hand and belongs to Me.

236
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:05,329
Indeed, people [do not wrong] anything.

237
00:17:05,329 --> 00:17:08,849
“Lo! Allah wrongeth not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves.” (10:44)

238
00:17:08,849 --> 00:17:17,440
“Lo! Allah wrongeth not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves.” (10:44)

239
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,880
Allah does not treat His creation in a way they do not deserve.

240
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,759
He does not punish them except for their disobedience and disbelief in Him.

241
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:30,880
Rather, it is people who wrong their own souls,

242
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,349
by committing acts that invite the wrath of Allah.

243
00:17:35,349 --> 00:17:38,789
“And on the day when He shall gather them together, (when it will seem) as though they had tarried but an hour of the day, recognising one another, those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided.” (10:45)

244
00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:45,470
“And on the day when He shall gather them together, (when it will seem) as though they had tarried but an hour of the day, recognising one another, those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided.” (10:45)

245
00:17:45,470 --> 00:17:50,509
Those who denied the meeting with Allah have indeed lost,

246
00:17:50,509 --> 00:17:54,740
and they were not guided.

247
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:57,660
On the day We gather these polytheists,

248
00:17:57,660 --> 00:18:00,500
and assemble them at the place of reckoning,

249
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:02,579
it will be as if they had only remained in the world for a short time,

250
00:18:02,579 --> 00:18:05,460
“Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of heart among the messengers (of old) had patience, and seek not to hasten on (the doom) for them. On the day when they see that which they are promised (it will seem to them) as though they had tarried but an hour of daylight. A clear message. Shall any be destroyed save evil-living folk?” (46:35)

251
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:08,299
recognizing one another among themselves.

252
00:18:08,339 --> 00:18:10,960
Then, that recognition will be severed.

253
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,920
Those who rejected the reward and punishment of Allah have suffered a loss and perished,

254
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,119
for they were not granted the success to attain right guidance.

255
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,880
This was due to their denial of the meeting with Allah,

256
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,720
because that denial earned them

257
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,970
a punishment from Allah they could not withstand.

258
00:18:27,970 --> 00:18:34,250
Whether We show you, O Muhammad, some of what We have promised them,

259
00:18:34,250 --> 00:18:39,890
or We take your soul before that,

260
00:18:39,890 --> 00:18:41,970
to Us is their return.

261
00:18:41,970 --> 00:18:48,630
“Whether We let thee (O Muhammad) behold something of that which We promise them or (whether We) cause thee to die, still unto Us is their return, and Allah, moreover, is Witness over what they do.” (10:46)

262
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:51,710
Whether We show you, O Muhammad, during your lifetime,

263
00:18:51,710 --> 00:18:55,190
some of what We have promised these polytheists,

264
00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:59,269
or We take your soul before We show you that regarding them,

265
00:18:59,269 --> 00:19:02,750
their ultimate destination in any case is to Us.

266
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:05,109
Then, I am a witness to the deeds

267
00:19:05,109 --> 00:19:08,269
that they used to perform in the world,

268
00:19:08,269 --> 00:19:13,099
and I will requite them for those deeds when they return to Me.

269
00:19:13,099 --> 00:19:18,180
For every community, there is a messenger.

270
00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:24,779
“And for every nation there is a messenger. And when their messenger cometh (on the Day of Judgment) it will be judged between them fairly, and they will not be wronged.” (10:47)

271
00:19:24,779 --> 00:19:28,440
And they will not be wronged.

272
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,279
For every community that passed before you, O people,

273
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:35,119
there was a messenger whom I sent to them,

274
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,430
just as I have sent Muhammad to you.

275
00:19:38,430 --> 00:19:41,390
When their messenger comes in the Hereafter,

276
00:19:41,390 --> 00:19:44,509
judgment will be passed between them with justice,

277
00:19:44,509 --> 00:19:48,789
and they will not be wronged in the slightest regarding their deeds.

278
00:19:48,789 --> 00:19:53,809
That is the judgment of Allah between them with justice.

279
00:19:53,809 --> 00:19:56,730
They ask, "When will this promise be fulfilled,

280
00:19:56,730 --> 00:20:02,589
if you are truthful?"

281
00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:07,109
These polytheists from your people, O Muhammad, say,

282
00:20:07,109 --> 00:20:09,630
"When will this promise that you threaten us with be fulfilled,

283
00:20:09,630 --> 00:20:12,470
which you claim will come to us from Allah,

284
00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:14,390
if you are truthful?"

285
00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:19,819
You and those who follow you in what you warn us of regarding that.

286
00:20:19,819 --> 00:20:25,140
“Say: I have no power to hurt or benefit myself, save that which Allah willeth. For every nation there is an appointed time. When their time cometh, then they cannot put it off an hour, nor hasten (it).” (10:49)

287
00:20:25,140 --> 00:20:29,140
Except for what Allah wills.

288
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:32,660
For every community, there is a set term.

289
00:20:32,660 --> 00:20:35,900
When their term arrives,

290
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:39,099
they cannot delay it by a single hour,

291
00:20:39,099 --> 00:20:43,880
nor can they advance it.

292
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,319
Say, O Muhammad, to those who hasten the punishment of Allah,

293
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:52,440
"I possess no power to bring benefit or harm to myself in this world or in the religion,

294
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,079
except for what Allah wills that I possess,

295
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:57,990
so I may bring it about by His permission."

296
00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:02,029
If I do not possess that power except by His permission,

297
00:21:02,029 --> 00:21:05,430
then I am even more incapable of possessing the power to reach the knowledge of the Unseen,

298
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:09,710
or to know when the Hour will arrive.

299
00:21:09,710 --> 00:21:14,509
Every people has a fixed time for the expiration of their duration and term.

300
00:21:14,509 --> 00:21:17,549
When the time for the expiration of their term arrives,

301
00:21:17,549 --> 00:21:21,190
they cannot delay it by an hour, nor will they be granted respite,

302
00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:23,990
nor can they advance it before that time,

303
00:21:23,990 --> 00:21:31,859
because Allah has decreed that it shall not occur before the time He has measured and ordained.

304
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:37,700
“Say: Have ye thought: When His doom cometh unto you as a raid by night, or in the (busy) day; what is there of it that the guilty ones desire to hasten?” (10:50)

305
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:42,779
“Say: Have ye thought: When His doom cometh unto you as a raid by night, or in the (busy) day; what is there of it that the guilty ones desire to hasten?” (10:50)

306
00:21:42,779 --> 00:21:46,299
Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists,

307
00:21:46,299 --> 00:21:50,819
"Have you considered if the punishment of Allah were to come to you by night or by day,

308
00:21:50,819 --> 00:21:53,019
and the Resurrection were to occur,

309
00:21:53,019 --> 00:21:57,109
would you be able to avert that from yourselves?"

310
00:21:57,109 --> 00:22:00,910
Why do the criminals hasten the arrival of the punishment,

311
00:22:00,910 --> 00:22:04,430
when they are the ones who will be scorched by its heat, to the exclusion of others?

312
00:22:04,430 --> 00:22:09,589
Then they will not be able to avert it from themselves.

313
00:22:09,589 --> 00:22:16,869
“Is it (only) then, when it hath befallen you, that ye will believe? What! (Believe) now, when (until now) ye have been hastening it on (through disbelief)?” (10:51)

314
00:22:16,869 --> 00:22:26,769
"Is it now [that you believe], when you were previously hastening it?"

315
00:22:26,769 --> 00:22:31,650
Is it then, when the punishment of Allah befalls you, O polytheists,

316
00:22:31,690 --> 00:22:36,210
that you believe in it, at a time when belief will not benefit you?

317
00:22:36,210 --> 00:22:38,609
And it will be said to you then,

318
00:22:38,609 --> 00:22:41,089
"Is it now that you believe in it,

319
00:22:41,089 --> 00:22:44,890
when you were previously hastening it?"

320
00:22:44,890 --> 00:22:50,000
So taste now what you used to deny.

321
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,359
“Then will it be said unto those who dealt unjustly Taste the torment of eternity. Are ye requited aught save what ye used to earn?” (10:52)

322
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,119
Taste the punishment of eternity.

323
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:06,220
“Then will it be said unto those who dealt unjustly Taste the torment of eternity. Are ye requited aught save what ye used to earn?” (10:52)

324
00:23:06,220 --> 00:23:10,779
Then it will be said to those who wronged their own souls by their disbelief in Allah,

325
00:23:10,779 --> 00:23:14,619
"Taste the punishment of Allah that will be yours forever."

326
00:23:14,619 --> 00:23:19,900
So consider, are you being requited for anything other than what you used to do in your life,

327
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:24,579
before your death, of acts of disobedience to Allah?

328
00:23:24,579 --> 00:23:28,019
This is the summary from the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
