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

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:08,050
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,640
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,939
Surah An-Nahl

5
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:22,500
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

6
00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:31,420
God gave the example of a possessed slave who was unable to do anything

7
00:00:31,579 --> 00:00:48,460
He is not able to do anything, and whoever We have provided him with a good provision, he will spend from it secretly and openly. Are they equal?

8
00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:55,979
Praise be to God, but most of them do not know

9
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:03,759
He has drawn a similarity to you, O people, to the unbeliever among his servants and the believer among them

10
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:10,420
As for the example of an infidel, he does not act in obedience to God and does not do good

11
00:01:10,739 --> 00:01:15,379
Like an owned slave who cannot afford anything and spends it

12
00:01:15,730 --> 00:01:22,609
As for the believer in God, he works in obedience to God and spends his money in His cause

13
00:01:22,849 --> 00:01:28,769
Like a free man to whom God has given money, he spends it secretly and openly

14
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:33,650
Is the servant who has nothing and is not able to do it equal?

15
00:01:33,890 --> 00:01:40,209
This free man whom God has provided a good provision for, he spends as described

16
00:01:40,689 --> 00:01:47,250
Likewise, the infidel who acts in disobedience to God and the believer who acts in obedience to Him are not equal

17
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:54,989
Praise be to God, sincerely, without the idols that you people call upon other than Him

18
00:01:55,469 --> 00:01:59,390
It is not what you do or what you say

19
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:03,629
Their idols have no power to praise

20
00:02:04,109 --> 00:02:09,310
But most of these infidels do not know that this is so

21
00:02:09,870 --> 00:02:15,389
Through their ignorance, they make them partners in worship and praise to God

22
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:24,909
Like two men, one of whom is mute and unable to do anything

23
00:02:25,389 --> 00:02:35,150
He is not capable of anything, and he is dependent on his master. Wherever he directs him, he will not bring any good

24
00:02:35,710 --> 00:02:39,069
Wherever he directs it, it brings no good

25
00:02:39,469 --> 00:02:43,710
Is he and those who command justice equal?

26
00:02:44,189 --> 00:02:53,069
Is he equal to the one who commands justice while he is on a straight path?

27
00:02:54,590 --> 00:03:00,270
This is a parable that God set for himself and for the gods that are worshiped besides him

28
00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:06,430
So God gave the example of two men, one of whom was mute and unable to do anything

29
00:03:06,990 --> 00:03:11,870
This means that the idol does not hear anything or speak

30
00:03:12,590 --> 00:03:17,069
He is dependent on his cousin, his allies, and the people of his state

31
00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:21,150
Likewise, the idol is the burden of all who worship it

32
00:03:21,629 --> 00:03:24,669
He needs to be carried, placed and served

33
00:03:25,389 --> 00:03:30,030
Like a mute who does not bring any good wherever his guardian directs him

34
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:34,110
Likewise, the idol does not understand what is said to it

35
00:03:34,669 --> 00:03:36,990
He does not speak to command or prohibit

36
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:41,629
Is this mute equal to someone who is articulate and articulate?

37
00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:44,430
He commands the truth and calls for it

38
00:03:44,830 --> 00:03:48,909
With his command of justice, he is on a straight path

39
00:03:49,469 --> 00:03:52,509
He does not deviate from the truth and does not deviate from it

40
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,759
To God belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth

41
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:04,080
The matter of the Hour is only as flashing as an eye, or it is even closer

42
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:11,439
God is powerful over everything

43
00:04:12,610 --> 00:04:18,209
O people, God has dominion over what has escaped your sight in the heavens and the earth

44
00:04:19,019 --> 00:04:23,180
The command of the Resurrection is only like a glimpse of the eye

45
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:25,899
Or it's closer than the blink of an eye

46
00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:31,180
Because that is to say to him, “Be,” and he is

47
00:04:31,980 --> 00:04:36,939
God is able to establish the Hour in the nearest blink of an eye

48
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,379
And whatever he wants of all things

49
00:04:40,779 --> 00:04:43,740
Nothing he wants is withheld from him

50
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:54,529
By God, He brought you out of your mothers’ wombs without knowing anything

51
00:04:55,009 --> 00:05:05,089
You know nothing. He has given you reputation, eyes, and hearts, so that you may be grateful

52
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:09,939
And God knows what you did not know

53
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:16,660
After He brought you out of your mothers’ wombs, you will not understand anything nor know anything

54
00:05:17,379 --> 00:05:20,980
So He gave you the reputation by which you can hear voices

55
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:26,019
So some of you will understand from each other what you are discussing among yourselves

56
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:32,180
And He gave you visions by which you can see people and by them you can come to know each other

57
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:35,620
And the hearts with which you know things

58
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,860
So you memorize it and think and understand it

59
00:05:40,769 --> 00:05:42,370
We did that to you

60
00:05:42,930 --> 00:05:49,170
So thank God for what He has bestowed upon you, rather than gods and equals

61
00:05:51,069 --> 00:06:05,470
Have they not seen the birds subjected to the atmosphere of the sky, and no one holds them except God?

62
00:06:05,870 --> 00:06:13,259
Indeed, in that are signs for people who believe

63
00:06:14,779 --> 00:06:17,180
Have you not seen, O polytheists of God?

64
00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:22,459
To the birds, harnessed in the air of the sky between them and the earth

65
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:26,180
Its flight in the air is only due to God

66
00:06:26,899 --> 00:06:29,779
Even if he took away what he gave her of flying

67
00:06:30,259 --> 00:06:32,660
She couldn't get up higher

68
00:06:33,459 --> 00:06:35,459
In God's subjugation is the bird

69
00:06:35,939 --> 00:06:38,819
And it enables her to fly in the sky

70
00:06:39,540 --> 00:06:45,379
For signs and indications that there is no god but God alone, with no partners

71
00:06:46,019 --> 00:06:52,259
For people who acknowledge the existence of what their eyes see and their senses sense

72
00:06:54,300 --> 00:07:11,180
And God has made for you a residence in your homes and made for you homes in which you hide yourself

73
00:07:11,579 --> 00:07:30,139
You will hide it on the day of your affliction and on the day of your residence, and from its wool, fur, and hair, as furniture and belongings for a while.

74
00:07:31,709 --> 00:07:35,550
And God has made for you, O people, a place to live in your homes

75
00:07:36,110 --> 00:07:39,149
You will live in your country during the days of your residence

76
00:07:39,790 --> 00:07:44,750
And He made for you houses of hair, wool, and hair from the skins of cattle

77
00:07:45,470 --> 00:07:52,750
You underestimate carrying and transporting it on the day you leave your country and the day you reside in your country

78
00:07:53,709 --> 00:07:59,310
From its wool, fur, and hair you make household furniture and belongings

79
00:08:00,269 --> 00:08:07,470
God made this a message for you that you can reach and be content with until your time of death

80
00:08:09,389 --> 00:08:34,990
And God made for you shades from among what He created, and made shelters for you from the mountains, and made for you robes to protect you from heat, and robes to protect you from heat.

81
00:08:35,470 --> 00:08:43,070
Thus He will complete His blessing upon you so that you may submit

82
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:54,779
It is God’s blessing upon you, O people, that He made for you shades from the trees and other things He created for you to seek shade from the intense heat

83
00:08:55,659 --> 00:09:05,100
He made the mountains places for you to dwell in, and He made cotton, linen, and wool clothing and their shirts to protect you from the heat

84
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:13,580
And He made for you shields to protect you from weapons that reach you, just as your Lord gave you these things

85
00:09:14,139 --> 00:09:22,620
Thus He will complete His blessing upon you so that you may submit to God in obedience and devote worship to Him sincerely

86
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:33,679
But if they turn away, then it is your duty to deliver the clear message

87
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:50,909
O Muhammad, if these polytheists turn away from the truth with which I sent you to them, then you are not to blame. All you have to do is convey to them the message that is made clear to whoever hears it so that they understand it.

88
00:09:52,240 --> 00:10:01,200
They know the blessing of God and then deny it, and most of them are disbelievers

89
00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:09,940
These polytheists know God's blessing upon them by sending Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace

90
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:19,379
Then they deny you and deny your prophecy, and most of your people who deny your prophecy are those who acknowledge it

91
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:39,919
And on the Day when We will raise from every nation a witness, then no permission will be given to those who disbelieve, nor will they be asked to blame

92
00:10:41,059 --> 00:11:06,740
They recognize the blessing of God, then they deny it, and they will denounce the Day when We will raise from every nation a witness, and he is their Messenger who was sent to them. Then those who disbelieve will not be given permission to apologize, so they will make excuses for what they were in God and His Messenger. They disbelieve, but they will not be asked to reproach, so they will abandon returning to this world, so they will repent and repent.

93
00:11:08,370 --> 00:11:18,350
And when those who wronged see the torment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be respite

94
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:36,029
And when those who lied to you, O Muhammad, see the torment of God, nothing will save them from the torment of God, because they are not given permission, so they apologize, and the torment is lightened for them with the excuse they claim, and they do not hope for punishment.

95
00:11:49,179 --> 00:12:18,320
And when the polytheists see on the Day of Resurrection the gods, idols, and other things that they used to worship besides God, they will say, “Our Lord, these are our partners in disbelief in You.”

96
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:32,000
And the partners whom we used to call gods besides you. Their partners said, “You are certainly liars, O polytheists. We did not call you to worship us.”

97
00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:44,590
And they were brought to God on the Day of Permission of Peace, and what they had invented will go away from them

98
00:12:46,500 --> 00:13:05,299
And the polytheists submitted to God on the day of permission of peace, and they surrendered and were humbled by His rule over them, and their gods, their people, and their clans did not avail them, and their gods missed what they had hoped for from intercession with God for salvation.

99
00:13:06,929 --> 00:13:22,370
Those who disbelieve and turn away from the path of God, We have increased for them a torment beyond the torment because they were corrupting

100
00:13:23,710 --> 00:13:36,750
Those who, O Muhammad, denied your prophethood and turned away from belief in God and His Messenger, We will increase their torment on the Day of Resurrection in Hell above the torment in which they are in.

101
00:13:37,230 --> 00:13:52,830
It was said that this increase was scorpions and snakes with fangs like tall palm trees, because in this world they disobeyed God and commanded His servants to disobey Him, so that was their corruption.

102
00:13:52,830 --> 00:14:23,970
And on the Day when We will raise up in every nation a witness against them from among themselves, and We bring you as a witness against these, and We have sent down to you the Writing as an explanation of everything, and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.

103
00:14:25,570 --> 00:14:43,169
And on the day when We ask their Prophet whom We sent to them from themselves, what did they respond to you and what did they respond to you? And We bring you, O Muhammad, as a witness to your nation regarding what they responded to you and what they did with what I sent you to them with.

104
00:14:43,169 --> 00:15:11,169
And We have sent down to you, O Muhammad, this Qur’an as an explanation of everything that people need, such as knowledge of what is permissible and what is forbidden, reward and punishment, a guidance from misguidance, a mercy for whoever believes in it and acts according to what is in it, and good news for whoever obeys God and submits to Him with monotheism, giving him good tidings of his great reward in the Hereafter and his great dignity.
