0:05 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
0:08 Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.
0:14 Surah al-An'am.
0:18 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:23 Say, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you."
0:28 “Say: Come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath made a sacred duty for you: That ye ascribe no thing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents, and that ye slay not your children because of penury - We provide for you and for them - and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. This He hath command you, in order that ye may discern.” (6:151)
0:32 And [He commands] that you show kindness to parents.
0:35 “Say: Come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath made a sacred duty for you: That ye ascribe no thing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents, and that ye slay not your children because of penury - We provide for you and for them - and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. This He hath command you, in order that ye may discern.” (6:151)
0:44 “Say: Come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath made a sacred duty for you: That ye ascribe no thing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents, and that ye slay not your children because of penury - We provide for you and for them - and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. This He hath command you, in order that ye may discern.” (6:151)
0:50 And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right.
0:57 This is what He has instructed you with, that you might use reason.
1:06 Say, O Muhammad, "Come, O people, I will read to you what your Lord has truly and certainly prohibited."
1:14 That you do not associate anything with Allah from among His creation.
1:17 And [that you show] kindness to parents.
1:19 And do not kill your children out of fear of poverty.
1:24 And do not approach the apparent of the things prohibited to you.
1:28 Which are those sins committed openly among you, the indulgence in which you do not deny.
1:33 Nor the hidden of them, which you commit in secret and concealment, not declaring them.
1:39 For all of that is forbidden.
1:41 And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden to be killed, except by right.
1:46 Such as killing a soul in retaliation for a soul you have killed.
1:50 Or if one commits adultery while being married, so they are stoned.
1:53 Or if one apostatizes from the true religion, so they are executed.
1:57 These are the matters He has commanded us all to act upon.
2:01 So that you may understand what your Lord has commanded you.
2:05 And do not approach the orphan's wealth except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity.
2:14 And give full measure and weight with justice.
2:18 We do not charge any soul except with that within its capacity.
2:23 And when you speak, be just, even if it concerns a near relative.
2:28 “And approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better, till he reach maturity. Give full measure and full weight, in justice. We task not any soul beyond its scope. And if ye give your word, do justice thereunto, even though it be (against) a kinsman; and fulfil the covenant of Allah. This He commandeth you that haply ye may remember.” (6:152)
2:41 And do not approach the orphan's wealth except in a way that is for his benefit and growth.
2:46 Until he reaches the age of puberty.
2:48 And fulfill the measure and the balance with justice.
2:51 We do not charge any soul with fulfilling the measure and weight beyond what it can bear.
2:56 So it is permissible for it, and there is no hardship in it.
3:00 And when you judge between people, speak the truth among them.
3:04 Even if the one to whom the judgment is directed is a relative of yours.
3:09 And fulfill the covenant of Allah which He has enjoined upon you.
3:13 These matters mentioned are the things our Lord has pledged to us.
3:19 So that you may remember the consequences of your affairs and the error of that which you persist in.
3:25 So that you may refrain from them, desist, and turn back to the obedience of your Lord.
3:32 “And (He commandeth you, saying): This is My straight path, so follow it. Follow not other ways, lest ye be parted from His way. This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off (evil).” (6:153)
3:40 “And (He commandeth you, saying): This is My straight path, so follow it. Follow not other ways, lest ye be parted from His way. This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off (evil).” (6:153)
3:47 “And (He commandeth you, saying): This is My straight path, so follow it. Follow not other ways, lest ye be parted from His way. This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off (evil).” (6:153)
3:56 And that this which your Lord has commanded you, O people.
4:00 Is My straight path, with no crookedness in it.
4:03 So act upon it and make it a path for yourselves.
4:07 And do not follow other paths.
4:09 For they will scatter you away from His path and the religion He has legislated.
4:14 This is what your Lord has commanded you.
4:16 So that you may fear Allah regarding yourselves and not destroy them.
4:20 And beware of your Lord regarding them, so as not to incur His wrath upon them.
4:25 For then His vengeance and punishment would descend upon you.
4:29 “Again, We gave the Scripture unto Moses, complete for him who would do good, an explanation of all things, a guidance and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.” (6:154)
4:37 “Again, We gave the Scripture unto Moses, complete for him who would do good, an explanation of all things, a guidance and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.” (6:154)
4:44 And [it is] guidance and mercy, so that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.
4:54 Then We gave Moses the Torah.
4:57 As a completion of Our favor upon him and Our blessings before him.
5:01 Through which Our honor for him is perfected, based on how well Moses performed the worship of Allah.
5:07 And as an explanation for everything his people and followers needed regarding their religious affairs.
5:13 And as a rectification for them upon the straight path.
5:16 And as a mercy from Us to them, and compassion.
5:19 To save them from misguidance and the work of confusion.
5:22 “Again, We gave the Scripture unto Moses, complete for him who would do good, an explanation of all things, a guidance and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.” (6:154)
5:25 When they hear the admonitions of Allah with which He has exhorted His creation, they obey their Lord.
5:32 And this is a Book We have revealed, blessed, so follow it.
5:40 Follow it and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.
5:46 And this Qur'an which We have revealed to our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is blessed.
5:53 So make it a leader that you follow and act upon what is in it, O people.
5:58 And beware of Allah regarding yourselves, lest you neglect acting upon what is in it.
6:02 So that you may receive mercy and be saved from the punishment of Allah and His painful retribution.
6:08 “Lest ye should say: The Scripture was revealed only to two sects before us, and we in sooth were unaware of what they read;” (6:156)
6:22 “Lest ye should say: The Scripture was revealed only to two sects before us, and we in sooth were unaware of what they read;” (6:156)
6:30 So that you do not say, "The Book was only revealed to two groups before us, the Jews and the Christians."
6:37 "And we were unaware of the recitation of the Book that was revealed to those two groups; we did not know what it was."
6:44 "And we do not know what they read or what they say, nor is it in our language."
6:49 So they would take that as an excuse.
6:52 So Allah cut off that excuse of theirs by revealing the Qur'an to His Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
7:01 “Or lest ye should say: If the Scripture had been revealed unto us, we surely had been better guided than are they. Now hath there come unto you a clear proof from your Lord, a guidance and mercy; and who doeth greater wrong than he who denieth the revelations of Allah, and turneth away from them? We award unto those who turn away from Our revelations an evil doom because of their aversion.” (6:157)
7:10 For there has come to you a clear evidence from your Lord, and guidance, and mercy.
7:19 “Or lest ye should say: If the Scripture had been revealed unto us, we surely had been better guided than are they. Now hath there come unto you a clear proof from your Lord, a guidance and mercy; and who doeth greater wrong than he who denieth the revelations of Allah, and turneth away from them? We award unto those who turn away from Our revelations an evil doom because of their aversion.” (6:157)
7:27 “Or lest ye should say: If the Scripture had been revealed unto us, we surely had been better guided than are they. Now hath there come unto you a clear proof from your Lord, a guidance and mercy; and who doeth greater wrong than he who denieth the revelations of Allah, and turneth away from them? We award unto those who turn away from Our revelations an evil doom because of their aversion.” (6:157)
7:39 So that they do not say:
7:41 "If only the Book had been revealed to us as it was revealed to those two groups before us."
7:48 "We would have been more upright on the path of truth."
7:52 For there has come to you a Book in your own language, clear Arabic.
7:56 And an explanation of the truth, and a mercy for whoever acts upon it and follows it.
8:01 So who is more mistaken in action and more aggressive than you, O polytheists?
8:06 Than those who deny the proofs and evidences of Allah and turn away from them?
8:11 Allah will recompense those who turn away from His signs with a severe punishment.
8:16 Because they used to turn away from His signs in the world.
8:26 “Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)
8:35 “Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)
8:39 “Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)
8:43 “Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)
8:46 “Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)
8:50 “Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)
8:53 “Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)
8:58 “Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)
9:24 The day some of the signs of your Lord come, the faith of one who had not believed before will not benefit him.
9:31 Or [the faith of one who] had not earned good through his belief in Allah, by way of righteous deeds and conviction.
9:37 Say, O Muhammad:
9:39 "Wait for the angels to come to you with death to take your souls."
9:44 "Or for your Lord to come to settle the judgment between us and you on the Day of Resurrection."
9:50 "Or for the sun to rise from its west, so the scrolls of deeds are folded."
9:56 We are waiting for that.
9:58 So that Allah may bestow upon us His reward.
10:01 And judge between us and you with the truth.
10:05 “Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become schismatics, no concern at all hast thou with them. Their case will go to Allah, Who then will tell them what they used to do.” (6:159)
10:14 “Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become schismatics, no concern at all hast thou with them. Their case will go to Allah, Who then will tell them what they used to do.” (6:159)
10:20 “Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become schismatics, no concern at all hast thou with them. Their case will go to Allah, Who then will tell them what they used to do.” (6:159)
10:29 “Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become schismatics, no concern at all hast thou with them. Their case will go to Allah, Who then will tell them what they used to do.” (6:159)
10:31 So some became Jews, others became Christians, and some became Magians.
10:36 And they were divided, not united.
10:40 “Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become schismatics, no concern at all hast thou with them. Their case will go to Allah, Who then will tell them what they used to do.” (6:159)
10:42 “Lo! As for those who sunder their religion and become schismatics, no concern at all hast thou with them. Their case will go to Allah, Who then will tell them what they used to do.” (6:159)
10:44 Either by punishment if they persist in their misguidance.
10:48 Or by pardon through repentance.
10:51 Then He will inform them in the Hereafter, when they arrive before Him on the Day of Resurrection, of what they used to do.
10:58 So He will reward the doer of good among them with goodness.
11:01 And the doer of evil with evil.
11:05 “Whoso bringeth a good deed will receive tenfold the like thereof, while whoso bringeth an ill-deed will be awarded but the like thereof; and they will not be wronged.” (6:160)
11:13 “Whoso bringeth a good deed will receive tenfold the like thereof, while whoso bringeth an ill-deed will be awarded but the like thereof; and they will not be wronged.” (6:160)
11:22 “Whoso bringeth a good deed will receive tenfold the like thereof, while whoso bringeth an ill-deed will be awarded but the like thereof; and they will not be wronged.” (6:160)
11:30 Whoever meets his Lord on the Day of Resurrection at the place of reckoning with repentance and faith.
11:36 He shall have ten good deeds like the good deed he brought.
11:41 And whoever meets Him on the Day of Resurrection having abandoned the religion and disbelieved in Allah.
11:46 He shall not be recompensed except with what is evil for him.
11:50 Just as Allah has requited him for his evil deeds.
11:53 And Allah does not wrong the two groups.
11:56 By rewarding the doer of good with evil.
11:59 Or the doer of evil with goodness.
12:02 “Say: Lo! As for me, my Lord hath guided me unto a straight path, a right religion, the community of Abraham, the upright, who was no idolater.” (6:161)
12:12 “Say: Lo! As for me, my Lord hath guided me unto a straight path, a right religion, the community of Abraham, the upright, who was no idolater.” (6:161)
12:18 Tell them, "My Lord has guided me to the straight path."
12:23 A straight religion.
12:26 The religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth.
12:28 And Abraham was not of the polytheists who associate partners with Allah.
12:33 “Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds.” (6:162)
12:43 [Say,] "No partner have I, and my rites, my living, and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds."
12:50 “He hath no partner. This am I commanded, and I am first of those who surrender (unto Him).” (6:163)
13:00 Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are purely for Allah, Lord of the worlds."
13:07 He has no partner in any of that from among His creation.
13:11 And of this, my Lord has commanded me.
13:13 And I am the first of this Ummah to submit and yield to its Lord.
13:19 “Say: Shall I seek another than Allah for Lord, when He is Lord of all things? Each soul earneth only on its own account, nor doth any laden bear another's load. Then unto your Lord is your return and He will tell you that wherein ye differed.” (6:164)
13:26 “Say: Shall I seek another than Allah for Lord, when He is Lord of all things? Each soul earneth only on its own account, nor doth any laden bear another's load. Then unto your Lord is your return and He will tell you that wherein ye differed.” (6:164)
13:31 And no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another.
13:36 “Say: Shall I seek another than Allah for Lord, when He is Lord of all things? Each soul earneth only on its own account, nor doth any laden bear another's load. Then unto your Lord is your return and He will tell you that wherein ye differed.” (6:164)
13:48 Say, "Is it other than Allah I should seek as a lord to master me?"
13:51 While He is the Lord of everything, beneath Him, and its Disposer.
13:55 And no soul earns evil except against itself.
13:59 And no sinful soul shall bear the sin of another soul besides itself.
14:04 Then to your Lord, O people, is your return.
14:08 And He will inform you of that over which you used to differ in the world regarding religions and sects.
14:14 Then He will recompense all of you for what you used to do in the world.
14:46 And it is Allah who made you, O people, successors upon the earth.
14:52 By destroying those who were before you from the generations and past nations.
14:57 And He made you successors after them on the earth.
15:02 And He differentiated between your conditions, making some of you above others.
15:06 By raising one over another.
15:09 To test you in what He has bestowed upon you of His bounty and granted you of His provision.
15:15 Indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, is swift in punishment for whoever angers Him by committing His sins.
15:21 And indeed, He is Forgiving, covering the sins of those who repent to Him.
15:25 Merciful by withholding His punishment for their past sins.
15:30 If they repent and turn back to Him before meeting Him and returning to Him.
