The Summary of Tafsir al-Tabari,

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,740
Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

4
00:00:13,949 --> 00:00:16,030
Surah al-Baqarah.

5
00:00:17,789 --> 00:00:22,829
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

6
00:00:23,579 --> 00:00:26,579
"They ask you about the new moons..."

7
00:00:26,579 --> 00:00:31,820
“They ask thee, (O Muhammad), of new moons, say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful.” (2:189)

8
00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:38,740
“They ask thee, (O Muhammad), of new moons, say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful.” (2:189)

9
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:42,460
“They ask thee, (O Muhammad), of new moons, say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful.” (2:189)

10
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:46,380
“They ask thee, (O Muhammad), of new moons, say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful.” (2:189)

11
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:50,859
"...and fear Allah that you may succeed."

12
00:00:51,789 --> 00:00:54,990
They ask you, O Muhammad, about the new moons,

13
00:00:54,990 --> 00:00:57,310
Their waning, their disappearing at the end of the month,

14
00:00:57,310 --> 00:01:01,630
Their fullness, their waxing, and their changing phases;

15
00:01:01,789 --> 00:01:05,390
And what the wisdom is behind making the moon different from the sun,

16
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:10,829
Which remains perpetual, in a single state that does not change.

17
00:01:10,829 --> 00:01:12,829
Say, O Muhammad:

18
00:01:12,829 --> 00:01:15,549
Your Lord made them different

19
00:01:15,549 --> 00:01:22,189
So that He might make the crescents a means of marking time for you and for the rest of mankind in their livelihoods,

20
00:01:22,189 --> 00:01:26,189
By which you monitor the due dates of your debts,

21
00:01:26,189 --> 00:01:29,870
The expiration of the terms of those you hire,

22
00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:32,989
The ending of the waiting periods ('iddah) of your women,

23
00:01:32,989 --> 00:01:36,030
And the times of your fasting and breaking of the fast.

24
00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:39,310
He also made it a marker of time for your Hajj,

25
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:43,390
Through which you know the due time for your rites and pilgrimage.

26
00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:48,750
Now, whenever they entered the state of ihram, they would not enter their homes through their doors,

27
00:01:48,750 --> 00:01:51,069
But rather from their backs.

28
00:01:51,069 --> 00:01:52,670
So Allah revealed:

29
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:54,989
"Righteousness, O people, is not

30
00:01:54,989 --> 00:01:59,549
That you enter homes from their backs while in the state of ihram;

31
00:01:59,549 --> 00:02:02,189
But righteousness is that of one who fears Allah,"

32
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:04,989
Fearing Him and avoiding what He has forbidden,

33
00:02:04,989 --> 00:02:09,710
And obeying Him by fulfilling the obligatory duties He enjoined upon him.

34
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:12,189
And fear Allah, O people,

35
00:02:12,189 --> 00:02:14,270
Beware of Him and stand in awe of Him,

36
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:17,789
By obeying Him in the obligatory duties He commanded you to perform,

37
00:02:17,789 --> 00:02:20,189
And by abstaining from what He forbade you,

38
00:02:20,189 --> 00:02:24,110
So that you may succeed and attain what you seek from Him,

39
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:29,469
And thereby attain an eternal dwelling in His gardens and everlasting bliss in His bounty.

40
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:35,300
“Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.” (2:190)

41
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:37,620
"...and do not transgress..."

42
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:43,139
"...indeed, Allah does not like transgressors."

43
00:02:44,110 --> 00:02:46,430
Fight, O believers,

44
00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:50,430
In obedience to Me and in defense of the religion I have legislated for you;

45
00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:53,710
And call to it those who have turned away from it and shown arrogance,

46
00:02:53,710 --> 00:02:56,430
Until they turn back in penitence to My obedience,

47
00:02:56,430 --> 00:02:58,909
Or pay the jizya while feeling subdued,

48
00:02:58,909 --> 00:03:01,229
If they are of the People of the Book.

49
00:03:01,229 --> 00:03:03,150
Fight, then, the people of disbelief,

50
00:03:03,150 --> 00:03:05,710
To the exclusion of those who do not engage in fighting,

51
00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:08,509
Such as their women and their children.

52
00:03:08,509 --> 00:03:12,349
And do not transgress by killing a child or a woman,

53
00:03:12,349 --> 00:03:17,150
Nor anyone who pays you the jizya from the People of the Two Books or the Zoroastrians.

54
00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:21,229
Indeed, Allah does not love those who exceed His bounds,

55
00:03:21,229 --> 00:03:24,669
Deeming lawful what Allah has forbidden.

56
00:03:24,669 --> 00:03:27,870
"And kill them wherever you overtake them..."

57
00:03:27,870 --> 00:03:32,270
“And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.” (2:191)

58
00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:35,710
“And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.” (2:191)

59
00:03:35,710 --> 00:03:40,909
“And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.” (2:191)

60
00:03:40,909 --> 00:03:44,349
"...until they fight you therein."

61
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:48,509
"So if they fight you, kill them;"

62
00:03:48,509 --> 00:03:53,310
"Such is the recompense of the disbelievers."

63
00:03:53,310 --> 00:04:00,430
“But if they desist, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (2:192)

64
00:04:23,939 --> 00:04:29,379
Do not initiate fighting against the polytheists near the Sacred Mosque, O believers,

65
00:04:29,379 --> 00:04:31,699
Until they initiate it against you.

66
00:04:31,699 --> 00:04:34,500
But if they attack you first, then kill them,

67
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:38,500
For Allah has made the retribution of the disbelievers for their disbelief

68
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:42,980
Death in this world and prolonged disgrace in the Hereafter.

69
00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:45,860
This was subsequently abrogated by His saying:

70
00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:49,540
"And fight them until there is no fitnah..."

71
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:54,740
But if the disbelievers cease fighting you and disbelieving in Allah, and repent,

72
00:04:54,740 --> 00:04:58,579
Then indeed, Allah is Forgiving of the sins of those among them who believe,

73
00:04:58,579 --> 00:05:03,620
Merciful to him in his Hereafter by granting him His reward.

74
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:11,300
“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers.” (2:193)

75
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:19,329
“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers.” (2:193)

76
00:05:19,410 --> 00:05:26,050
And fight the polytheists who fight you until there is no more polytheism with Allah,

77
00:05:26,050 --> 00:05:29,250
And worship is dedicated solely to Allah alone.

78
00:05:29,250 --> 00:05:32,689
But if those who fight you among the disbelievers desist,

79
00:05:32,689 --> 00:05:34,850
And embrace your religion,

80
00:05:34,850 --> 00:05:37,490
Then refrain from hostilities against them,

81
00:05:37,490 --> 00:05:41,730
For there should be no aggression except against the wrongdoers,

82
00:05:41,730 --> 00:05:44,800
Namely, those who associate partners with Allah.

83
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,959
"The sacred month is for the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution."

84
00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:57,519
“The forbidden month for the forbidden month, and forbidden things in retaliation. And one who attacketh you, attack him in like manner as he attacked you. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is with those who ward off (evil).” (2:194)

85
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:05,949
“The forbidden month for the forbidden month, and forbidden things in retaliation. And one who attacketh you, attack him in like manner as he attacked you. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is with those who ward off (evil).” (2:194)

86
00:06:05,949 --> 00:06:09,069
The sacred month is Dhu al-Qa'dah,

87
00:06:09,069 --> 00:06:12,509
In which the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

88
00:06:12,589 --> 00:06:15,550
Set out to perform the 'Umrah of al-Hudaybiyyah,

89
00:06:15,550 --> 00:06:19,069
Whereupon the polytheists of Makkah barred him from the House.

90
00:06:19,069 --> 00:06:22,990
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, concluded a treaty with them

91
00:06:22,990 --> 00:06:25,870
On the condition that he would return the following year,

92
00:06:25,870 --> 00:06:29,230
Enter Makkah, and stay for three days.

93
00:06:29,230 --> 00:06:31,709
When the following year arrived,

94
00:06:31,709 --> 00:06:35,550
He and his Companions went forth to perform 'Umrah in Dhu al-Qa'dah,

95
00:06:35,550 --> 00:06:38,509
And the people of Makkah evacuated the town for him,

96
00:06:38,509 --> 00:06:42,670
Until the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, entered it,

97
00:06:42,670 --> 00:06:46,189
Accomplished his purpose therein, completed his 'Umrah,

98
00:06:46,189 --> 00:06:50,029
Stayed for three days, and then departed.

99
00:06:50,029 --> 00:06:52,670
Thus, the sacred month of Dhu al-Qa'dah,

100
00:06:52,670 --> 00:06:56,029
In which Allah brought you into His Sanctuary,

101
00:06:56,029 --> 00:06:59,790
To His House, despite the resentment of the Quraysh polytheists,

102
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:04,990
Was in exchange for the sacred month in which the Quraysh polytheists barred you the previous year.

103
00:07:04,990 --> 00:07:08,430
And your entering the Sanctuary in this state of ihram of yours,

104
00:07:08,430 --> 00:07:10,910
In this sacred month of yours,

105
00:07:10,910 --> 00:07:15,389
Is legal retribution for what you were prevented from like it during your past year.

106
00:07:15,389 --> 00:07:19,069
So whoever transgresses against you in the Sanctuary and fights you,

107
00:07:19,069 --> 00:07:21,310
Retaliate against him by fighting,

108
00:07:21,310 --> 00:07:25,709
Commensurate with his transgression against you by fighting you,

109
00:07:25,709 --> 00:07:29,389
For I have ordained that violations require equal retribution.

110
00:07:29,389 --> 00:07:31,709
And this verse has been abrogated

111
00:07:31,709 --> 00:07:34,910
By Allah's permission to His Prophet to fight the people of the Sanctuary,

112
00:07:34,910 --> 00:07:36,990
Initiating the fight in the Sanctuary,

113
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:38,189
And by His saying:

114
00:07:38,189 --> 00:07:41,389
"And fight the polytheists collectively..."

115
00:07:41,389 --> 00:07:44,670
And fear Allah, O believers, with regard to His sanctities,

116
00:07:44,670 --> 00:07:46,670
Lest you violate them

117
00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:50,990
And exceed what He has demarcated and bounded for you.

118
00:07:50,990 --> 00:07:54,269
And know that Allah loves those who are mindful of Him,

119
00:07:54,269 --> 00:07:57,550
Who fear Him by carrying out His obligatory duties

120
00:07:57,550 --> 00:08:00,350
And avoiding what He has forbidden.

121
00:08:00,350 --> 00:08:03,870
“Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah, and be not cast by your own hands to ruin; and do good. Lo! Allah loveth the beneficent.” (2:195)

122
00:08:03,870 --> 00:08:07,709
“Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah, and be not cast by your own hands to ruin; and do good. Lo! Allah loveth the beneficent.” (2:195)

123
00:08:07,709 --> 00:08:15,019
“Spend your wealth for the cause of Allah, and be not cast by your own hands to ruin; and do good. Lo! Allah loveth the beneficent.” (2:195)

124
00:08:15,019 --> 00:08:18,939
And spend to uphold and honor the religion I have legislated for you,

125
00:08:18,939 --> 00:08:21,100
By waging jihad against your enemy.

126
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:23,259
And do not abandon spending therein,

127
00:08:23,259 --> 00:08:26,540
Lest you perish by incurring My punishment.

128
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:28,459
And excel in doing good, O believers,

129
00:08:28,459 --> 00:08:31,980
In performing the obligatory duties I have enjoined upon you,

130
00:08:31,980 --> 00:08:35,820
For indeed, I love those who excel in that regard.

131
00:08:35,820 --> 00:08:41,419
"And complete the Hajj and 'Umrah for Allah..."

132
00:08:41,419 --> 00:08:45,899
“Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom of fasting or almsgiving or offering. And if ye are in safety, then whosoever contenteth himself with the visit for the pilgrimage (shall give) such gifts as can be had with ease. And whosoever cannot find (such gifts), then a fast of three days while on the pilgrimage, and of seven when ye have returned; that is, ten in all. That is for him whoso folk are not present at the Inviolable Place of Worship. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment.” (2:196)

133
00:08:45,899 --> 00:08:48,220
"...and do not shave your heads..."

134
00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:51,820
“Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom of fasting or almsgiving or offering.

135
00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:56,059
"And whoever among you is ill..."

136
00:08:56,059 --> 00:08:59,500
"...or has an ailment of the head..."

137
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:07,259
“Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination.

138
00:09:07,259 --> 00:09:13,980
“Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination.

139
00:09:13,980 --> 00:09:16,779
“Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom of fasting or almsgiving or offering. And if ye are in safety, then whosoever contenteth himself with the visit for the pilgrimage (shall give) such gifts as can be had with ease. And whosoever cannot find (such gifts), then a fast of three days while on the pilgrimage, and of seven when ye have returned; that is, ten in all. That is for him whoso folk are not present at the Inviolable Place of Worship. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment.” (2:196)

140
00:09:16,779 --> 00:09:22,620
“Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom of fasting or almsgiving or offering. And if ye are in safety, then whosoever contenteth himself with the visit for the pilgrimage (shall give) such gifts as can be had with ease. And whosoever cannot find (such gifts), then a fast of three days while on the pilgrimage, and of seven when ye have returned; that is, ten in all. That is for him whoso folk are not present at the Inviolable Place of Worship. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment.” (2:196)

141
00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:25,820
"...and seven when you return."

142
00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:29,659
"Those are ten complete [days]."

143
00:09:29,659 --> 00:09:36,220
“Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom of fasting or almsgiving or offering. And if ye are in safety, then whosoever contenteth himself with the visit for the pilgrimage (shall give) such gifts as can be had with ease. And whosoever cannot find (such gifts), then a fast of three days while on the pilgrimage, and of seven when ye have returned; that is, ten in all. That is for him whoso folk are not present at the Inviolable Place of Worship. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment.” (2:196)

144
00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:44,860
"And fear Allah, and know that Allah is severe in penalty."

145
00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:47,500
And complete the Hajj with all its rites,

146
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,899
And complete the 'Umrah within its proper bounds,

147
00:09:49,899 --> 00:09:52,379
Once you have entered into both of them.

148
00:09:52,379 --> 00:09:55,820
But if an obstacle detains you from completing that,

149
00:09:55,980 --> 00:09:59,340
Due to illness, a fracture, or fear of an enemy,

150
00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:02,940
Then it is incumbent upon you, if you wish to exit your ihram,

151
00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:06,299
To offer whatever sacrifice is easily obtainable, which is a sheep.

152
00:10:06,299 --> 00:10:09,899
And do not exit your state of ihram if you are prevented,

153
00:10:09,899 --> 00:10:13,899
Until the sacrificial animal reaches the place where the impediment occurred,

154
00:10:13,899 --> 00:10:19,580
Which is the time it becomes lawful to slaughter or sacrifice it, whether within the Sanctuary or outside it.

155
00:10:19,580 --> 00:10:23,580
Unless one of you is compelled by necessity to shave it,

156
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:29,019
Either due to an illness or an affliction of his head such as lice or the like;

157
00:10:29,019 --> 00:10:32,620
In that case, he may shave it there out of the necessity that befell him,

158
00:10:32,620 --> 00:10:35,340
Even if the sacrificial animal has not reached its designated place.

159
00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:41,440
Consequently, for shaving his head, he incurs an expiation of fasting, charity, or sacrifice.

160
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,440
Then when you are secure and your fear of your enemy or your illness has departed,

161
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,799
Whoever performs Tamattu'—having exited his ihram due to being prevented—by performing an 'Umrah,

162
00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:55,440
Must offer whatever sacrificial animal is easily obtainable.

163
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,159
But whoever does not find one must fast three days during his Hajj,

164
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:03,360
And seven days when he returns to his family.

165
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,440
Those are ten days that you are obligated to complete in fasting.

166
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,799
And this Tamattu' of combining 'Umrah with Hajj

167
00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:15,919
Is for those whose families are not residents of the Sacred Mosque from among those who dwell around it,

168
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:21,440
Between whom and it lies a distance short of that which permits shortening the prayers.

169
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:23,759
And fear Allah by obeying Him,

170
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:26,639
And be certain that He—exalted is His mention—

171
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:33,230
Is severe in His retribution toward whoever violates His prohibitions and engages in acts of disobedience to Him.

172
00:11:33,230 --> 00:11:38,750
"Hajj is [during] well-known months."

173
00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:42,509
"So whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein..."

174
00:11:42,509 --> 00:11:47,629
“The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves (Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.” (2:197)

175
00:11:47,629 --> 00:11:53,070
“The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves (Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.” (2:197)

176
00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:58,509
“The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves (Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.” (2:197)

177
00:11:58,509 --> 00:12:04,129
“The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves (Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.” (2:197)

178
00:12:04,129 --> 00:12:06,690
The appointed time for your pilgrimage, O people,

179
00:12:06,690 --> 00:12:08,529
Consists of well-known months,

180
00:12:08,529 --> 00:12:11,250
Which are two months and part of a third:

181
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:13,409
Namely Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah,

182
00:12:13,409 --> 00:12:15,440
And ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah.

183
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:18,480
So whoever obligates Hajj upon himself therein,

184
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,799
By resolving to perform all that Allah has made obligatory upon the pilgrim,

185
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:25,679
And abstaining from what Allah has commanded him to abandon,

186
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,000
Shall not engage in obscenity around women,

187
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,399
Neither speaking explicitly to them of intercourse nor having intercourse with them,

188
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:36,799
Nor commit wicked transgression by doing what Allah forbade him while in ihram,

189
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:40,639
Such as hunting game, cutting hair, trimming nails,

190
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,919
Or any other act that Allah has forbidden him from doing while in the state of ihram.

191
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:49,360
For all dispute concerning the Hajj and its timing has been abolished,

192
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,600
And its observance and time have been established upon a single unified schedule,

193
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,960
With agreed-upon rites devoid of disparity,

194
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,840
Containing neither dispute nor contention.

195
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Perform, O believers, what I have commanded you during your Hajj,

196
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,279
That you may thereby merit an abundant reward.

197
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:10,000
For whatever good you do,

198
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,279
I am fully aware of it and keep a complete reckoning of it all,

199
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:15,759
So that I may grant you its reward in full.

200
00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:19,120
And take provisions from your sustenance sufficient to convey you

201
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,679
To the completion of your rites.

202
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,039
For there is no piety before Allah in abandoning the taking of provisions

203
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:27,039
And begging from people,

204
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:30,720
Nor in squandering your provisions and letting them spoil.

205
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,720
Rather, true piety lies in fearing your Lord,

206
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,799
By avoiding what He forbade you during your journey for Hajj,

207
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,200
And performing what He commanded you to do.

208
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,559
That indeed is the best of provisions,

209
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,789
So take provision from it.

210
00:13:44,789 --> 00:13:47,590
And fear Me, O people of intellect and understanding,

211
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:49,590
By performing My obligatory duties;

212
00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:52,389
And fear My punishment by avoiding My prohibitions

213
00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:54,870
Which I have forbidden to you,

214
00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:58,259
So that you may thereby be saved from My wrath.

215
00:13:58,259 --> 00:14:02,379
“It is no sin for you that ye seek the bounty of your Lord (by trading). But, when ye press on in the multitude from 'Arafat, remember Allah by the sacred monument. Remember Him as He hath guided you, although before ye were of those astray.” (2:198)

216
00:14:02,379 --> 00:14:05,899
"...bounty from your Lord."

217
00:14:05,899 --> 00:14:10,019
“It is no sin for you that ye seek the bounty of your Lord (by trading). But, when ye press on in the multitude from 'Arafat, remember Allah by the sacred monument. Remember Him as He hath guided you, although before ye were of those astray.” (2:198)

218
00:14:10,019 --> 00:14:14,940
“It is no sin for you that ye seek the bounty of your Lord (by trading). But, when ye press on in the multitude from 'Arafat, remember Allah by the sacred monument. Remember Him as He hath guided you, although before ye were of those astray.” (2:198)

219
00:14:14,940 --> 00:14:17,379
"And remember Him, as He has guided you..."

220
00:14:17,379 --> 00:14:21,820
“It is no sin for you that ye seek the bounty of your Lord (by trading). But, when ye press on in the multitude from 'Arafat, remember Allah by the sacred monument. Remember Him as He hath guided you, although before ye were of those astray.” (2:198)

221
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:27,980
"...among the astray."

222
00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:30,820
There is no blame upon you, O believers,

223
00:14:30,820 --> 00:14:34,299
In seeking bounty from your Lord.

224
00:14:34,299 --> 00:14:38,139
So when you depart from 'Arafah toward where you began,

225
00:14:38,139 --> 00:14:40,659
Remember Allah with prayer and supplication

226
00:14:40,659 --> 00:14:42,659
At the Sacred Landmark (al-Mash'ar al-Haram),

227
00:14:42,659 --> 00:14:45,139
Which is the area between the two mountains of Muzdalifah,

228
00:14:45,139 --> 00:14:48,299
Extending from the mountain passes of 'Arafah to Muhassir.

229
00:14:48,299 --> 00:14:50,340
And remember Allah, O believers,

230
00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:52,220
at the Sacred Monument (al-Mash'ar al-Haram),

231
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:53,500
by praising Him

232
00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:55,500
and expressing gratitude for having guided you

233
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:59,059
to the ways of Ibrahim, after polytheism and blindness,

234
00:14:59,059 --> 00:15:01,220
just as He guided you with knowledge,

235
00:15:01,220 --> 00:15:04,019
until He rescued you from the Fire through it,

236
00:15:04,019 --> 00:15:07,820
after you had been on the very brink of it,

237
00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:12,679
whereas before that you were truly among the astray.

238
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:17,559
Then depart from where the people depart,

239
00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:20,200
and ask forgiveness of Allah;

240
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:26,279
indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

241
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:29,279
Quraysh used not to depart from 'Arafah;

242
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:31,759
rather, they would depart only from Muzdalifah,

243
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:33,759
which is the Sacred Monument,

244
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:36,000
because they considered themselves the people of the Sanctuary.

245
00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:40,799
So Allah commanded them to depart from wherever the rest of the Arabs departed,

246
00:15:40,799 --> 00:15:44,799
thus abolishing the innovations that Quraysh had introduced for the people.

247
00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:48,399
This is an instance of an earlier mention that is intended to come later,

248
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:51,360
and a later mention intended to come earlier,

249
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,960
for the intended meaning is:

250
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,279
“The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves (Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.” (2:197)

251
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:59,320
“The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves (Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.” (2:197)

252
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,440
“Then hasten onward from the place whence the multitude hasteneth onward, and ask forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (2:199)

253
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,360
"And ask forgiveness of Allah; indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."

254
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,960
“The pilgrimage is (in) the well-known months, and whoever is minded to perform the pilgrimage therein (let him remember that) there is (to be) no lewdness nor abuse nor angry conversation on the pilgrimage. And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it. So make provision for yourselves (Hereafter); for the best provision is to ward off evil. Therefore keep your duty unto Me, O men of understanding.” (2:197)

255
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,759
And al-Dahhak said:

256
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,480
"Then depart, meaning: return back to Mina

257
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,159
from where My close friend Ibrahim departed at the Sacred Monument,

258
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:23,000
and ask Me for forgiveness of your sins,

259
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,220
for I am Forgiving of them and Merciful toward you."

260
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:30,419
And when you have completed your rites,

261
00:16:30,419 --> 00:16:34,820
“And when ye have completed your devotions, then remember Allah as ye remember your fathers or with a more lively remembrance. But of mankind is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world," and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.” (2:200)

262
00:16:34,820 --> 00:16:37,259
or with even greater remembrance.

263
00:16:37,259 --> 00:16:43,220
“And when ye have completed your devotions, then remember Allah as ye remember your fathers or with a more lively remembrance. But of mankind is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world," and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.” (2:200)

264
00:16:43,220 --> 00:16:48,659
“And when ye have completed your devotions, then remember Allah as ye remember your fathers or with a more lively remembrance. But of mankind is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world," and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.” (2:200)

265
00:16:48,659 --> 00:16:50,700
So when you have concluded your Hajj,

266
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:53,100
and slaughtered your sacrificial offerings,

267
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:55,299
remember Allah by proclaiming His greatness (takbir),

268
00:16:55,299 --> 00:16:57,940
and maintain it just as children maintain

269
00:16:57,980 --> 00:17:01,139
the frequent remembrance of their fathers,

270
00:17:01,139 --> 00:17:02,899
through submission to Him,

271
00:17:02,899 --> 00:17:07,619
and entreating Him earnestly, directing all their needs to Him,

272
00:17:07,619 --> 00:17:10,019
just as a child entreats his father,

273
00:17:10,019 --> 00:17:12,420
or a young boy appeals to his mother and father,

274
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:14,339
or even more intensely than that,

275
00:17:14,339 --> 00:17:18,339
since whatever blessing has touched them and their fathers

276
00:17:18,339 --> 00:17:20,779
is entirely from Him, and He is its true Guardian.

277
00:17:20,779 --> 00:17:25,140
And do not be like those who traded the Hereafter for the life of this world,

278
00:17:25,180 --> 00:17:28,660
asking their Lord for nothing but its fleeting pleasures,

279
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:31,220
having no share in Allah’s reward,

280
00:17:31,220 --> 00:17:34,829
nor any portion in His Gardens.

281
00:17:34,829 --> 00:17:41,829
“And of them (also) is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard us from the doom of Fire."” (2:201)

282
00:17:41,829 --> 00:17:46,269
“And of them (also) is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard us from the doom of Fire."” (2:201)

283
00:17:46,269 --> 00:17:49,269
"and good in the Hereafter,

284
00:17:49,269 --> 00:17:53,779
and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."

285
00:17:53,819 --> 00:17:57,700
And among them are those who ask their Lord for goodness in this world,

286
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:01,140
consisting of well-being in body, livelihood, and provision,

287
00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:03,259
as well as beneficial knowledge and righteous worship;

288
00:18:03,259 --> 00:18:06,660
and they ask their Lord for Paradise in the Hereafter,

289
00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:11,190
praying, "Avert from us the torment of the Fire."

290
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:18,069
"Those will have a share of what they have earned,

291
00:18:18,069 --> 00:18:23,019
and Allah is swift in reckoning."

292
00:18:23,059 --> 00:18:25,420
Those who supplicate, saying:

293
00:18:25,420 --> 00:18:28,220
“And of them (also) is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard us from the doom of Fire."” (2:201)

294
00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:30,339
"and good in the Hereafter,

295
00:18:30,339 --> 00:18:32,500
and protect us from the punishment of the Fire,"

296
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:36,500
will have an abundant share and blessing from their Hajj and rites,

297
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:40,539
as well as a generous reward for the deeds they have earned.

298
00:18:40,539 --> 00:18:44,140
And Allah encompasses the deeds of both groups:

299
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:46,980
those whose only petition is:

300
00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:49,740
"Our Lord, give us in this world,"

301
00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:51,779
and those whose petition is:

302
00:18:51,819 --> 00:18:54,500
“And of them (also) is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard us from the doom of Fire."” (2:201)

303
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:56,619
"and good in the Hereafter,

304
00:18:56,619 --> 00:18:58,940
and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."

305
00:18:58,940 --> 00:19:01,779
He will swiftly account for them,

306
00:19:01,779 --> 00:19:04,180
because He enumerates the deeds of His servants

307
00:19:04,180 --> 00:19:05,900
without the counting of fingers,

308
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:08,180
and without hesitation or deliberation,

309
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:13,140
unlike the feeble and powerless among creation.

310
00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:16,180
This is the summary from the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
