WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:08.199 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari. 00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:13.949 Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammar. 00:00:13.949 --> 00:00:18.579 Surah al-Kahf. 00:00:18.579 --> 00:00:22.579 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:22.579 --> 00:00:29.899 “And thou mightest have seen the sun when it rose move away from their cave to the right, and when it set go past them on the left, and they were in the cleft thereof. That was (one) of the portents of Allah. He whom Allah guideth, he indeed is led aright, and he whom He sendeth astray, for him thou wilt not find a guiding friend.” (18:17) 00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:33.700 And when you see them, they incline toward the left of their cave. 00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:37.500 “And thou mightest have seen the sun when it rose move away from their cave to the right, and when it set go past them on the left, and they were in the cleft thereof. That was (one) of the portents of Allah. He whom Allah guideth, he indeed is led aright, and he whom He sendeth astray, for him thou wilt not find a guiding friend.” (18:17) 00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:41.100 This is among the signs of Allah. 00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:45.100 Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. 00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:53.340 “And thou mightest have seen the sun when it rose move away from their cave to the right, and when it set go past them on the left, and they were in the cleft thereof. That was (one) of the portents of Allah. He whom Allah guideth, he indeed is led aright, and he whom He sendeth astray, for him thou wilt not find a guiding friend.” (18:17) 00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:58.140 You would see the sun, O Muhammad, when it rises, turning away from their cave. 00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:01.140 Rising upon them from the right. 00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:03.570 So that the heat does not afflict the young men. 00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:06.370 And when it sets, it leaves them on the left. 00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:08.370 So that it does not afflict them. 00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:12.629 And the young men who took refuge in it, finding ample space within. 00:01:12.629 --> 00:01:16.629 We did this—what We did for these young men— 00:01:16.629 --> 00:01:20.230 As a proof of Allah and His evidence to His creation. 00:01:20.230 --> 00:01:24.829 Whoever Allah grants success to be guided by His signs and proofs, 00:01:24.829 --> 00:01:28.030 He is the one who has attained the path of truth. 00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:31.629 And whoever Allah leads astray from His signs and proofs, 00:01:31.629 --> 00:01:37.629 You will never find for him, O Muhammad, a friend or ally to guide him to it. 00:01:37.629 --> 00:01:44.030 You would think them awake, while they are asleep. 00:01:44.030 --> 00:01:49.629 “And thou wouldst have deemed them waking though they were asleep, and We caused them to turn over to the right and the left, and their dog stretching out his paws on the threshold. If thou hadst observed them closely thou hadst assuredly turned away from them in flight, and hadst been filled with awe of them.” (18:18) 00:01:49.629 --> 00:01:56.030 And their dog stretching its forelegs at the entrance. 00:01:56.030 --> 00:02:01.629 “And thou wouldst have deemed them waking though they were asleep, and We caused them to turn over to the right and the left, and their dog stretching out his paws on the threshold. If thou hadst observed them closely thou hadst assuredly turned away from them in flight, and hadst been filled with awe of them.” (18:18) 00:02:01.629 --> 00:02:06.060 And you would have been filled with terror of them. 00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:09.060 You would think, O Muhammad, these young men, 00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:11.860 Whose story We have related to you, 00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:14.490 To be awake, while they are asleep. 00:02:14.490 --> 00:02:18.090 And We turn these young men over in their sleep, 00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:22.689 Once to the right side and once to the left side. 00:02:22.689 --> 00:02:26.689 And their dog is stretching its forelegs at the entrance of the cave. 00:02:26.689 --> 00:02:31.490 If you had looked upon them in the sleep they slept in their cave, 00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:33.889 You would have turned from them in flight. 00:02:33.889 --> 00:02:38.090 And your heart would have been filled with dread from looking at them, 00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:42.740 Because of the awe that Allah had cast upon them. 00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:49.340 “And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin unto the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.” (18:19) 00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:54.740 “And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin unto the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.” (18:19) 00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:59.139 They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." 00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:02.939 “And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin unto the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.” (18:19) 00:03:02.939 --> 00:03:14.740 "So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city." 00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:24.740 “And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin unto the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.” (18:19) 00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:28.340 "And let him bring you provision from it." 00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:36.539 “And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin unto the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.” (18:19) 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:40.539 “For they, if they should come to know of you, will stone you or turn you back to their religion; then ye will never prosper.” (18:20) 00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:43.939 "They will stone you or force you back." 00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:46.939 “For they, if they should come to know of you, will stone you or turn you back to their religion; then ye will never prosper.” (18:20) 00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:52.340 “For they, if they should come to know of you, will stone you or turn you back to their religion; then ye will never prosper.” (18:20) 00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:55.939 Just as We caused these young men to sleep in the cave, 00:03:55.939 --> 00:03:59.539 And protected them from anyone reaching them, 00:03:59.539 --> 00:04:02.340 So did We awaken them from their sleep, 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:05.539 To make them know the greatness of Our power. 00:04:05.539 --> 00:04:07.939 So that they might ask one another. 00:04:07.939 --> 00:04:10.939 One of them said to his companions, 00:04:10.939 --> 00:04:12.800 "How long have you remained?" 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.599 The others answered him, saying, 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.600 "We have remained a day or part of a day," 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.199 Thinking that it was so. 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.000 The others said, 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.000 “And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried.

Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.” (18:19) 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.800 "So send one of you with this silver coin of yours," 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.199 To the city of Ephesus, 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.399 "And let him see which of its people is most lawful and pure in food," 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.000 "And let him bring you sustenance from it to live upon," 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.199 "And let him be gentle in his purchasing and on his way," 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.399 "And in his entry into the city," 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.000 "And let him not make anyone aware of you." 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.000 "For Decius and his companions," 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.000 "If they come to know of you," 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.000 "And discover your location," 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.600 "They will stone you with verbal abuse," 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.000 "Or force you back into their religion," 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.800 "And you will become disbelievers by worshipping idols." 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.000 "And you will never attain lasting survival," 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.399 "Or immortality in the Gardens during your life," 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.670 "If you return to their creed." 00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:15.670 And thus We made them discovered. 00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:24.269 “And in like manner We disclosed them (to the people of the city) that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that, as for the Hour, there is no doubt concerning it. When (the people of the city) disputed of their case among themselves, they said: Build over them a building; their Lord knoweth best concerning them. Those who won their point said: We verily shall build a place of worship over them.” (18:21) 00:05:24.269 --> 00:05:28.069 “And in like manner We disclosed them (to the people of the city) that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that, as for the Hour, there is no doubt concerning it.

Say (O Muhammad): My Lord is Best Aware of their number. None knoweth them save a few. So contend not concerning them except with an outward contending, and ask not any of them to pronounce concerning them.” (18:22) 00:06:46.230 --> 00:06:50.629 “(Some) will say: They were three, their dog the fourth, and (some) say: Five, their dog the sixth, guessing at random; and (some) say: Seven, and their dog the eighth.

I shall do that tomorrow,” (18:23) 00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:48.580 As you said to those who asked you, 00:08:48.580 --> 00:08:50.379 About the affair of the people of the cave, 00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:53.379 And the questions they asked you about, 00:08:53.379 --> 00:08:55.980 "I will inform you about it tomorrow." 00:08:55.980 --> 00:09:00.850 This is a discipline from Allah to His Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:09:01.049 --> 00:09:05.450 That he should not assert that a future event will definitely happen, 00:09:05.450 --> 00:09:08.649 Unless he connects it to the will of Allah, 00:09:08.649 --> 00:09:12.049 Unless you say with it, "If Allah wills." 00:09:12.049 --> 00:09:15.049 And remember your Lord when you have forgotten to mention Him. 00:09:15.049 --> 00:09:18.250 And say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me," 00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:21.250 And direct me to what is more correct than what I promised you, 00:09:21.250 --> 00:09:25.450 And informed you that it would happen if He wills. 00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:31.740 And they remained in their cave for three hundred years, 00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:34.340 And increased by nine. 00:09:34.340 --> 00:09:37.940 “Say: Allah is Best Aware how long they tarried. His is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth. How clear of sight is He and keen of hearing! They have no protecting friend beside Him, and He maketh none to share in His government.” (18:26) 00:09:37.940 --> 00:09:41.740 To Him belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. 00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:44.740 How clearly He sees and hears! 00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:50.340 “Say: Allah is Best Aware how long they tarried. His is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth. How clear of sight is He and keen of hearing! They have no protecting friend beside Him, and He maketh none to share in His government.” (18:26) 00:09:50.340 --> 00:09:55.279 “Say: Allah is Best Aware how long they tarried. His is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth. How clear of sight is He and keen of hearing! They have no protecting friend beside Him, and He maketh none to share in His government.” (18:26) 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.679 And the people of the cave remained in their cave asleep, 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:00.879 Until Allah awakened them, 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.409 Three hundred years and nine years. 00:10:04.409 --> 00:10:06.210 Say, O Muhammad, 00:10:06.210 --> 00:10:10.409 "Allah is most knowing of how long they remained after their souls were taken," 00:10:10.409 --> 00:10:12.809 From after their awakening from their sleep, 00:10:12.809 --> 00:10:14.809 Until this day of theirs. 00:10:14.809 --> 00:10:17.809 No one knows that except Allah. 00:10:17.809 --> 00:10:20.409 For Allah sees every existing thing, 00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:23.210 And He hears every audible thing. 00:10:23.210 --> 00:10:25.409 “Lo! nothing in the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah.” (3:5) 00:10:25.409 --> 00:10:27.409 They have no protector besides their Lord, 00:10:27.409 --> 00:10:30.409 Who manages their affairs and their governance. 00:10:30.409 --> 00:10:34.809 And Allah does not make anyone a partner in His decree and judgment. 00:10:34.809 --> 00:10:39.679 Rather, He is the One who is unique in judgment and decree regarding them. 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:44.480 “And recite that which hath been revealed unto thee of the Scripture of thy Lord. There is none who can change His words, and thou wilt find no refuge beside Him.” (18:27) 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.480 There is no one to change His words. 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:53.490 “And recite that which hath been revealed unto thee of the Scripture of thy Lord. There is none who can change His words, and thou wilt find no refuge beside Him.” (18:27) 00:10:53.690 --> 00:10:55.090 And follow, O Muhammad, 00:10:55.090 --> 00:10:58.690 What has been revealed to you of this Book of your Lord. 00:10:58.690 --> 00:11:00.690 And do not neglect its recitation, 00:11:00.690 --> 00:11:04.289 And following what is in it of the command and prohibition of Allah. 00:11:04.289 --> 00:11:06.889 There is no one to change what He has promised with His words, 00:11:06.889 --> 00:11:10.490 Which He revealed to you, for those who disobey Him. 00:11:10.490 --> 00:11:11.889 And if you, O Muhammad, 00:11:11.889 --> 00:11:15.490 Do not recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord, 00:11:15.490 --> 00:11:17.090 Then you will face the threat of Allah, 00:11:17.090 --> 00:11:19.889 With which He threatened those who oppose Him. 00:11:19.889 --> 00:11:21.889 Then you will never find besides Allah, 00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:23.889 A refuge to which you can turn, 00:11:23.889 --> 00:11:27.879 Or a place of escape to which you can flee. 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:58.029 And restrain yourself, O Muhammad, with your companions, 00:11:58.029 --> 00:12:00.029 Who call upon their Lord, 00:12:00.029 --> 00:12:02.029 In the morning and the evening, 00:12:02.029 --> 00:12:04.029 With glorification and praise, 00:12:04.029 --> 00:12:06.029 And declaring His oneness and supplication. 00:12:06.029 --> 00:12:09.029 Seeking by that action of theirs the Countenance of Allah. 00:12:09.029 --> 00:12:13.029 They do not desire the fleeting things of this world. 00:12:13.029 --> 00:12:15.029 And do not turn your eyes away from them, 00:12:15.029 --> 00:12:17.029 Those whom I have commanded you, O Muhammad, 00:12:17.029 --> 00:12:19.029 To restrain yourself with them, 00:12:19.029 --> 00:12:21.029 Toward the nobles of the polytheists. 00:12:21.029 --> 00:12:23.029 Reciting from the Book of your Lord, 00:12:23.029 --> 00:12:25.029 Desiring to sit with those, 00:12:25.029 --> 00:12:27.029 Great ones and nobles. 00:12:27.029 --> 00:12:29.029 And do not obey, O Muhammad, 00:12:29.029 --> 00:12:31.029 One whose heart We have made heedless, 00:12:31.029 --> 00:12:33.029 Through disbelief, of Our remembrance, 00:12:33.029 --> 00:12:35.029 From among the disbelievers who asked you, 00:12:35.029 --> 00:12:38.029 To drive away the group who call upon their Lord, 00:12:38.029 --> 00:12:40.029 And who followed his own desire, 00:12:40.029 --> 00:12:42.029 Over the obedience of his Lord. 00:12:42.029 --> 00:12:44.029 And the affair of this one who, 00:12:44.029 --> 00:12:46.029 “Restrain thyself along with those who cry unto their Lord at morn and evening, seeking His Countenance; and let not thine eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance, who followeth his own lust and whose case hath been abandoned.” (18:28) 00:12:46.029 --> 00:12:48.029 Was excessive, having exceeded his limits, 00:12:48.029 --> 00:12:51.029 And thereby lost the truth and perished. 00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:55.700 “Say: (It is) the truth from the Lord of you (all). Then whosoever will, let him believe, and whosoever will, let him disbelieve. Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers Fire. Its tent encloseth them. If they ask for showers, they will be showered with water like to molten lead which burneth the faces. Calamitous the drink and ill the resting-place!” (18:29) 00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:59.700 So whoever wills, let him believe, 00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:03.700 And whoever wills, let him disbelieve. 00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:06.700 We have prepared, 00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:08.700 For the wrongdoers, a Fire, 00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:11.700 Whose walls will encompass them. 00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:13.700 And if they call for relief, 00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:16.700 They will be relieved with water, 00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:19.700 Like molten copper, which scalds the faces. 00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:24.700 “Say: (It is) the truth from the Lord of you (all).
