In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar
Surah Qaf
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
His companion said, “Our Lord, I did not conceal it, but it was far astray.”
He said: This man's companion is the infidel, and he is his devil, who was entrusted with him in this world
Our Lord, I have not made him a tyrant who transgresses into what he does not have
But he was on a way that was unfair and far from the path of guidance
He said, “Do not dispute with me, for I have come to you with a threat.”
Nothing changes what I say, and I am not unjust to my servants
God said to these polytheists, “Do not dispute with me today.”
I was presented to you in this world before this dispute of yours
With a threat to whoever disbelieves in me, disobeys me, and violates my commands and prohibitions
What changes what I said to you in this world
It is his saying to Amal that Hell is part of Heaven and all people
Nor do I punish any of my creation for the crime of another
The day we say to hell, is it full? And it will say, “Are there more?”
And I am not unjust to the servants
The day we say to Hell, has it been filled? And that will be the Day of Resurrection
Because of his previous promise that he would fill it with Paradise and all people
She says is there more?
Until God places a foothold on it
And Paradise has been brought near to the righteous, not far away
This is what you promise to every loyal friend
Whoever fears the Most Gracious in the unseen and comes with a repentant heart
Paradise will be brought near and near to those who fear their Lord
This is what you are promised, O pious ones
For every return from disobedience to God to obedience to Him
Repentant of his sins
He protects everything that brings him closer to his Lord, whether obligatory or obedient
And the sins that he has already committed to repent of
He who fears God in this world before he meets Him
God came with a heart repentant of his sins
Enter it safely
That is the day of eternity
They can have whatever they want and we have more
Enter this Paradise safe from worry, anger and torment
This is what I described to you people
It is the day people enter Paradise
They stay there indefinitely
These pious people will have what they want in this Paradise
We have more for them to add
More said, look to God
How many generations did we destroy before them? They were more tyrannical than them
So they searched the country to see if there was any escape
We were destroyed many times before these polytheists from the Quraysh, centuries ago
They are more brutal than the Quraysh
So they penetrated the country and marched through it
They roamed and penetrated to the farthest reaches of it
Did they have the right to explore the country from those who came from destruction when Our command came to them?
We have been destroyed for centuries by the Quraysh
In memory of those who had a mind
So they will stop doing what they were doing because of their disbelief in their Lord
Or he listened to us telling him about these centuries that we destroyed by hearing him
They hear the news about them
How did we do to them when they disbelieved in their Lord?
He understands what he tells about them
Watch him with his heart
Not unaware of it or neglectful
And between them within six days
In six days, no idleness befell us
We created the seven heavens and the earth and all the creatures between them in six days
And how tired we are
So be patient with what they say and praise your Lord
And praise your Lord before sunrise and before sunset
And at night, glorify Him and prostrate
So be patient, O Muhammad, with what these Jews say
And what they invent against God
Praise your Lord, perform the morning prayer before sunrise
And the afternoon prayer before sunset
And from the night, glorify Him, which is the night prayer
And glorify the praise of your Lord every part of the prostration of your prayer
Interpreters differed regarding the meaning of praise
The two rak'ahs were said after sunset
It was said that praise is given after the obligatory prayers
It was said that they are the voluntary acts at the end of the written matters
This is the saying of Ibn Zaid
The best opinion on that is the one who said it
They are the two rak'ahs after sunset
According to the consensus of the argument from the people of interpretation
Had it not been for what I mentioned regarding its consensus on it
I would have thought that what was said by Ibn Zaid is what Ibn Zaid said
One day, he listened to the caller calling from a nearby place
The day they hear the cry with truth
That's exit day
And listen, O Muhammad, to the cry of the Day of Resurrection
The day our herald will call it from a nearby place
The Day the creation will hear the cry of resurrection from the graves
The command to answer to God to the position of reckoning
That is the day the people of the graves emerge from their graves
It is we who revive death and kill the living
And to Us is the fate of all of them on the Day of Resurrection
The day the earth cracks for them and they will emerge from it hastily
Gathering them together is easy for us
We know what they say
And you are not responsible for your duty
And you are not a force against them
So remind the Qur’an of those who fear a threat
We, O Muhammad, know best what these polytheists say regarding their slander against God
And you are not over them with authority to oppress them and force them
So remember, O Muhammad, this Qur’an which I revealed to you
Who fears the threat that I promised him who disobeys me and violates my command?
