WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.629 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:07.629 --> 00:00:12.859 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:15.980 Surat Al-Tawbah 00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:28.839 A disavowal from God and His Messenger to those polytheists with whom you have made a covenant 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:37.670 This is a disavowal from God and His Messenger to those of the polytheists who made a covenant with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:00:37.670 --> 00:00:41.670 Those who broke their covenant before its term expired 00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:46.829 As for those who did not break their covenant and did not support it 00:00:46.829 --> 00:00:51.829 So God commanded that the covenant between Him and them be fulfilled for its duration 00:00:51.829 --> 00:01:07.659 They roamed the earth for four months and learned that you are not a miracle of God 00:01:07.659 --> 00:01:12.659 And God disgraces the unbelievers 00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:21.500 They walked the earth in safety from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his followers for four months 00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:27.500 And know, O polytheists, that you wandered in the land and chose that despite your disbelief in God 00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:35.530 Do not give him yourselves, because wherever you go, you are under his control and authority 00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:44.359 They knew that God humiliates the unbelievers and gives them shame in this world and hell in the afterlife 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:52.359 A call to prayer from God and His Messenger to the people on the day of the Greater Hajj 00:01:52.359 --> 00:02:03.519 God and His Messenger are innocent of the polytheists 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:16.520 If you repent, it will be better for you, but if you turn away, then know that you are not a miracle of God 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:22.520 And those who denounced were given good tidings of a painful punishment 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:28.319 And information from God and His Messenger to the people on the day of the Greater Hajj 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.319 It is the day of sacrifice 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.319 God and His Messenger are free from the covenant of the polytheists after this argument 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.319 If you repent of your disbelief, O polytheists, and return to the monotheism of God 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.319 That is better for you than abiding by polytheism 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.319 And if you turn away from believing in God and refuse except to abide by your polytheism 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.319 So be certain that you will not fulfill God’s will with yourselves 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:05.340 Know, O Muhammad, those who denied your prophecy about the painful torment that will befall them 00:03:05.340 --> 00:03:20.340 Except those of the polytheists with whom you made a covenant, and then they did not diminish you in anything 00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:34.340 They did not support anyone against you, so they fulfilled their covenant with them for a period of time 00:03:34.340 --> 00:03:40.340 God loves the righteous 00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:46.430 Except from the covenant of those with whom you made a covenant among the polytheists, O believers 00:03:46.430 --> 00:03:50.430 Then they did not detract from your covenant 00:03:50.430 --> 00:03:53.430 They did not support any of your enemies against you 00:03:53.430 --> 00:03:56.430 They help them with themselves and their bodies 00:03:56.430 --> 00:04:00.430 So fulfill their promise that you made with them 00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:05.430 Do not wage war against them until the end of their reign 00:04:05.430 --> 00:04:09.430 God loves those who fear Him by obeying Him 00:04:09.430 --> 00:04:13.430 By performing His duties and avoiding His sins 00:04:13.430 --> 00:04:26.069 When the sacred months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them 00:04:26.069 --> 00:04:32.069 They took them, besieged them, and sat down for them as ambush 00:04:32.069 --> 00:04:40.069 If they repent, perform prayer, and pay zakat, then let them go 00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:45.069 God is Forgiving and Merciful 00:04:45.069 --> 00:04:50.100 If the remaining three sacred months have passed 00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:54.100 It is Dhul-Qa'dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram 00:04:54.100 --> 00:05:00.100 About those who do not have a covenant or those who had a covenant and broke their covenant 00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:04.100 Or their covenant was for an unknown period 00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:08.100 So kill the polytheists wherever you find them on earth 00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:13.100 In the sanctuary and non-sanctuary, in the sacred months and other months 00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:19.100 They captured them and prevented them from acting in Islamic countries and entering Mecca 00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:25.100 They approached them with demands to kill or capture them in every possible way 00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:29.100 If they return from polytheism to God, to monotheism of God 00:05:29.100 --> 00:05:32.100 They performed what God imposed on them of prayer 00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:36.100 They gave zakat on their money to its owners 00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:42.100 So let them dispose of your lands and enter the Sacred House 00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:45.100 God is Forgiving to those of His servants who repent 00:05:45.100 --> 00:05:51.100 He is merciful to him by punishing him for his past sins before his repentance 00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:56.930 And if one of the polytheists seeks your protection 00:05:56.930 --> 00:06:05.930 So reward him so that he can hear the word of God 00:06:05.930 --> 00:06:09.930 Then inform him of his safety 00:06:09.930 --> 00:06:17.759 That is because they are a people who do not know 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.759 And where did anyone protect you, O Muhammad, from the polytheists? 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.759 To hear the word of God from you 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.759 Make him feel safe so that he can hear the word of God and have it recited to him 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:33.759 Then he returned him after hearing the word of God, if he refused to accept Islam 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.759 To where he is safe 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.759 Until he catches up with him 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.759 Do it to them 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.759 Because they are ignorant people who do not understand any proof from God 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:49.759 They do not know what they would have by believing in God if they had believed 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.759 And there is no burden and sin on them for abandoning faith in God 00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:03.980 How can the polytheists have a covenant with God and His Messenger? 00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:13.980 Except for those with whom you made a pact at the Sacred Mosque 00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:18.980 As long as they are upright towards you, be upright towards them 00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:23.980 God loves the righteous 00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:32.740 O believers, the polytheists with their Lord have a covenant of obligation with God and with His Messenger 00:07:32.740 --> 00:07:38.740 It will be paid to them and they will be left for his sake, Amen, to act in the country 00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:42.740 Except for those who gave the covenant at the Sacred Mosque 00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:44.740 Whoever stayed in his covenant 00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:50.740 There was no question of annulling what was between the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:53.740 And between the Quraysh on the day of Hudaybiyyah 00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:57.740 As long as they are upright towards you, be upright towards them 00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:04.740 God loves those who fear God and observe Him in performing His duties and refrain from disobeying Him 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:09.639 And he left betrayal of his covenants to those with whom he made a covenant 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:18.639 How can it be that even if they prevail over you, they will not monitor you except without any obligation? 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:32.220 They please you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse, and most of them are transgressors 00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:38.220 How can it have the polytheists who broke their covenant, the covenant of dhimma? 00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:43.220 And if they defeat you, they will not expect any covenant with God or any covenant with you 00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:50.220 They give you words with their tongues that are contrary to what they harbor in their souls of hostility 00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:57.220 Their hearts refuse to submit to them, and most of them oppose your covenant and break it 00:08:57.220 --> 00:09:01.220 They disbelieve in their Lord and disobey Him 00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:19.240 They bought the verses of God for a small price, but were turned away from His path. Indeed, evil was what they were doing 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:27.980 These polytheists were blamed for not following the proofs that God used against them 00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:35.980 A small compensation for the worldly goods, so they prevented people from entering Islam 00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:42.980 They tried to turn the Muslims away from their religion. The work they were doing was bad 00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:49.840 From their purchase of disbelief in faith and misguidance in guidance 00:09:49.840 --> 00:10:04.570 They do not watch over a believer unless he has no obligation, and it is those who are the aggressors 00:10:04.570 --> 00:10:14.570 These polytheists do not fear God, kinship, covenant, or covenant in killing a believer if they are able to do so 00:10:14.570 --> 00:10:20.570 And those are the ones among you who transgress into what is not theirs through injustice and transgression 00:10:20.570 --> 00:10:30.179 If they repent, perform prayer, and pay zakat, then they are your brothers in religion 00:10:30.179 --> 00:10:37.179 And We detail the verses for a people who know 00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:43.519 If these polytheists return to faith in God and His Messenger 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:50.519 They performed the prescribed prayers within their limits and paid the obligatory zakat due to them 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.519 They are your brothers in Islam 00:10:53.519 --> 00:11:00.519 We explain God’s arguments and evidence for His creation to a people who know what We have made clear to them 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:06.519 Without the ignorant who do not understand God’s explanation and decisive signs 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:33.289 And if they weaken their oaths after their covenant and challenge your religion, then fight the imams of disbelief. They have no oaths, perhaps they will desist. 00:11:33.289 --> 00:11:44.960 If these polytheists fulfill their covenants after they made a pact with you, that they will not fight you nor support any of your enemies against you. 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:58.960 They have slandered Islam in your religion, so fight the leaders of disbelief in God. Indeed, the leaders of disbelief do not have a covenant with them so that they can stop criticizing your religion and demonstrating against you. 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:28.730 Do you not fight a people who broke their oaths and intended to expel the Messenger, even though they attacked you the first time? Do you fear them? For God is more deserving of you fearing Him if you are believers. 00:12:30.620 --> 00:12:43.620 O believers, do you not fight these polytheists who broke the covenant between you and them and intended to expel the Messenger from among them, so they expelled him? 00:12:43.620 --> 00:13:12.259 They first started fighting against you on the day of Badr, and it was said that their fighting was the allies of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, from Khuza’ah. Do you fear them and abandon fighting them? God is more worthy of you to fear His punishment for abandoning their jihad, if you acknowledge that the fear of God for you is more important than the fear of these polytheists. 00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:31.970 Fight them, God will punish them at your hands, disgrace them, grant you victory over them, grant you victory over them, and heal the breasts of a believing people. 00:13:31.970 --> 00:13:51.970 Fight, O believers in God and His Messenger, these polytheists. God will kill them with your hands, and humiliate them through captivity and oppression, and grant you victory over them, and heal the disease of the hearts of a people who believe in God and His Messenger, by killing these polytheists with your hands. 00:13:51.970 --> 00:14:01.970 And that disease is what was in their hearts against them because of the harm and hate they used to inflict on them 00:14:01.970 --> 00:14:16.960 The anger of their hearts will go away, and God will turn to whom He wills, and God is All-Knowing, All-Wise 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:31.110 And the sorrow and anguish of the hearts of these people of believers goes away over these people who broke their oaths from the polytheists, and the grief and anguish that they feel for them goes away. 00:14:31.110 --> 00:14:39.110 God grants favor to whomever He wishes from among His unbelieving servants, and He brings them to repentance by granting Him success 00:14:39.110 --> 00:14:51.110 And God is All-Knowing of the secrets of His servants, All-Wise in guiding His servants from a state of disbelief to a state of faith, and from a state of faith to disbelief. 00:14:52.110 --> 00:15:18.980 Or did you think that you would be left without God knowing those of you who have striven and have not taken anyone other than God, nor His Messenger, nor the believers as a refuge? And God is aware of what you do. 00:15:18.980 --> 00:15:24.840 Or did you think, O believers, that God would leave you without a test? 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:29.840 He will be known to the people of his state, those of you who struggle in his cause 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:35.840 Those who were not taken apart from God, nor before His Messenger, nor before the believers 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.840 A group of polytheists revealing their secrets to them 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.840 God is experienced in your deeds 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.840 May God reward you for that 00:15:47.840 --> 00:16:02.740 It is not for the polytheists to inhabit the mosques of God, witnessing against themselves disbelief 00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:11.740 Those whose deeds have become worthless, and in the Fire they will abide forever 00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:21.500 Those bear witness to their disbelief 00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:24.500 Those whose wages were nullified 00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:30.500 And in Hell they will remain forever, neither alive nor dead 00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:43.370 The mosques of God are inhabited only by those who believe in God and the Last Day 00:16:43.370 --> 00:16:55.370 He performed prayer and paid zakat, and he feared no one but God 00:16:55.370 --> 00:17:04.200 Perhaps those will be among those who are guided 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:10.200 He only maintains the mosques of God by believing in the oneness of God 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.200 He believes in God resurrecting the dead on the Day of Resurrection 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:20.200 He performed the prescribed prayers within its limits and paid the obligatory zakat 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:24.200 He did not fear the punishment of anything for his disobedience except God 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:32.200 It is appropriate for those to be with God among those whom God has guided to the truth and doing what is right 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:38.380 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
