0:00 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:05 Summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

0:08 Abridged by Dr. Aqeel 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 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” (6:59)

0:29 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” (6:59)

0:33 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” (6:59)

0:40 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” (6:59)

0:50 “And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” (6:59)

0:59 And Allah knows best who the transgressors are among His creation.

1:02 For with Him are the treasures of the unseen—that which is hidden from the knowledge of His creation, so they have neither perceived it nor comprehended it.

1:10 And with Him is also the knowledge of that which is not hidden, encompassing all that exists on land and in the sea.

1:15 Not a leaf falls in the deserts, the wilderness, the cities, or the villages,

1:20 But that Allah knows it.

1:23 Nor is there anything in existence, or that will ever come to exist,

1:27 Except that it is recorded in the Preserved Tablet,

1:31 Its exact count and sum inscribed,

1:33 Along with the time of its occurrence,

1:36 And the manner in which it perishes.

1:38 All of that is in a Book that clearly manifests the truth of its contents,

1:43 Through the actual realization of everything inscribed within it precisely as ordained.

1:47 “He it is Who gathereth you at night and knoweth that which ye commit by day. Then He raiseth you again to life therein, that the term appointed (for you) may be accomplished. And afterward unto Him is your return. Then He will proclaim unto you what ye used to do.” (6:60)

1:57 “He it is Who gathereth you at night and knoweth that which ye commit by day. Then He raiseth you again to life therein, that the term appointed (for you) may be accomplished. And afterward unto Him is your return. Then He will proclaim unto you what ye used to do.” (6:60)

2:11 “He it is Who gathereth you at night and knoweth that which ye commit by day. Then He raiseth you again to life therein, that the term appointed (for you) may be accomplished. And afterward unto Him is your return. Then He will proclaim unto you what ye used to do.” (6:60)

2:21 And say to them, O Muhammad:

2:23 Allah takes your souls by night during sleep,

2:27 Abstracting them from your bodies,

2:29 And He knows what deeds you have earned by day.

2:33 Then He resurrects you and awakens you from your sleep during the day,

2:37 So that Allah may fulfill the appointed term decreed for your life—which is death—

2:43 Reaching its full measure and ultimate end.

2:46 Then unto Allah is your final return and destination,

2:50 Whereupon He will inform you of all that you used to do during your worldly life,

2:55 And then recompense you accordingly:

2:57 If good, then good; and if evil, then evil.

3:22 And Allah is the Vanquisher over His creation,

3:25 Exalted above them in His omnipotence.

3:27 He sends over you His angels, who succeed one another over you by night and by day,

3:33 Guarding your deeds and recording them meticulously,

3:36 Until death comes upon one of you,

3:38 And the decree of Allah descends upon you.

3:41 When that moment arrives,

3:43 Our messenger angels, entrusted with taking souls, fully receive his soul,

3:46 And they never neglect their duty.

3:55 “Then are they restored unto Allah, their Lord, the Just. Surely His is the judgment. And He is the most swift of reckoners.” (6:62)

4:02 Then the angels who took their souls return them unto Allah, their true Master.

4:09 Unquestionably, His alone is the judgment and decree, to the exclusion of all His creation,

4:14 And He is the swift in reckoning your number and your deeds,

4:17 As well as all other matters pertaining to you;

4:20 He has enumerated them, knowing their exact measures and totals.

4:25 “Say: Who delivereth you from the darkness of the land and the sea? Ye call upon Him humbly and in secret, (saying): If we are delivered from this (fear) we truly will be of the thankful.” (6:63)

4:32 You call upon Him in humble supplication and in secret, saying:

4:37 "If He delivers us from this, we shall surely be among the grateful."

4:50 Say, O Muhammad:

4:51 Who delivers you from the darknesses of the land,

4:54 When you lose your way therein and become bewildered?

4:58 And from the darknesses of the sea,

5:00 When you navigate it and stray from the clear path,

5:04 Such that the way becomes dark and obscure around you,

5:06 And you cannot find guidance?

5:08 None but Allah, whom you call upon in total humility, openly and secretly, pleading at times:

5:15 You say:

5:16 "If You deliver us from these darknesses in which we are trapped,

5:21 We shall surely be among those who single You out in gratitude and devote our worship sincerely to You,

5:26 Apart from those false deities we used to associate with You in our worship."

5:31 “Say: Allah delivereth you from this and from all affliction. Yet ye attribute partners unto Him.” (6:64)

5:42 Say:

5:43 Allah alone is Able to deliver you from the great calamity that befalls you on land and sea—

5:49 From the distress of straying and the dread of perishing.

5:52 Yet after He removes the distress that befell you,

5:56 You equate Him with your false gods and idols,

6:00 Associating them as partners in your worship of Him.

6:04 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65)

6:12 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65)

6:18 "Or to confound you with sect divided against sect."

6:21 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65)

6:29 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65)

6:37 O Muhammad,

6:39 Indeed, the One who delivers you from the darknesses of the land and sea,

6:42 Only for you to return to associating partners with Him,

6:45 Is fully Able to unleash upon you a punishment from above you, by pelting stones or pouring down floods,

6:52 Or whatever resembles that from what descends from above your heads,

6:57 Or from beneath your feet, through swallowed earth and the like,

7:00 Or to confuse you into conflicting desires and divided factions,

7:05 “Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand.” (6:65)

7:08 Causing some of you to slay one another.

7:10 Look, O Muhammad, with the eye of your heart,

7:13 At how We diversify Our proofs to these deniers so that they may comprehend,

7:19 And thereby refrain from what they persist in doing, which incurs the wrath of Allah.

7:25 “Thy people (O Muhammad) have denied it, though it is the Truth. Say: I am not put in charge of you.” (6:66)

7:30 “Thy people (O Muhammad) have denied it, though it is the Truth. Say: I am not put in charge of you.” (6:66)

7:35 "For every news there is a fixed time."

7:39 "And you will come to know."

7:43 And your people, O Muhammad, have denied that which you say, convey, and warn them of regarding the impending punishment,

7:50 Though it is the absolute truth, untainted by doubt, that will inevitably come to pass

7:53 If they do not repent.

7:55 Say to them, O Muhammad:

7:57 "I am not a guardian or keeper over you;

8:01 I am merely a Messenger conveying to you that with which I was sent."

8:06 For every piece of news there is a appointed time in which it settles,

8:09 And a final end to which it leads,

8:12 Whereby its truth and veracity will be distinguished from its falsehood and vanity.

8:16 And you shall come to know, O deniers, the truth of Allah's warning that I conveyed to you,

8:23 When His punishment strikes you.

8:26 “And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations, withdraw from them until they meddle with another topic. And if the devil cause thee to forget, sit not, after the remembrance, with the congregation of wrong-doers.” (6:68)

8:33 “And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations, withdraw from them until they meddle with another topic. And if the devil cause thee to forget, sit not, after the remembrance, with the congregation of wrong-doers.” (6:68)

8:39 “And when thou seest those who meddle with Our revelations, withdraw from them until they meddle with another topic. And if the devil cause thee to forget, sit not, after the remembrance, with the congregation of wrong-doers.” (6:68)

8:51 And when you, O Muhammad, see the polytheists engaging in mockery regarding the Revelation We revealed to you,

8:58 Turn away from them,

9:00 And do not sit with them,

9:02 Until they engage in a discourse other than mocking the verses of Allah.

9:07 And if Satan causes you to forget Our prohibition, and then you remember it,

9:11 Rise and leave them,

9:13 And do not sit, after remembering, with the wrongdoing people

9:17 Who indulge in that which is unlawful for them to indulge in.

9:22 “Those who ward off (evil) are not accountable for them in aught, but the Reminder (must be given them) that haply they (too) may ward off (evil).” (6:69)

9:31 “Those who ward off (evil) are not accountable for them in aught, but the Reminder (must be given them) that haply they (too) may ward off (evil).” (6:69)

9:39 And whoever fears Allah and remains conscious of Him,

9:41 Obeying Him in what He has commanded and abstaining from what He has forbidden,

9:46 Bears no sin for failing to turn away from those who indulge in mocking Allah's verses while they are actively mocking them.

9:53 However, they must turn away from them as a reminder of Allah's command, so that they too may refrain from such mockings.

10:00 “And forsake those who take their religion for a pastime and a jest, and whom the life of the world beguileth. Remind (mankind) hereby lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no protecting ally nor intercessor, and though it offer every compensation it will not be accepted from it. Those are they who perish by their own deserts. For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom, because they disbelieved.” (6:70)

10:09 “And forsake those who take their religion for a pastime and a jest, and whom the life of the world beguileth. Remind (mankind) hereby lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no protecting ally nor intercessor, and though it offer every compensation it will not be accepted from it. Those are they who perish by their own deserts. For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom, because they disbelieved.” (6:70)

10:26 “And forsake those who take their religion for a pastime and a jest, and whom the life of the world beguileth. Remind (mankind) hereby lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no protecting ally nor intercessor, and though it offer every compensation it will not be accepted from it. Those are they who perish by their own deserts. For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom, because they disbelieved.” (6:70)

10:32 “And forsake those who take their religion for a pastime and a jest, and whom the life of the world beguileth. Remind (mankind) hereby lest a soul be destroyed by what it earneth. It hath beside Allah no protecting ally nor intercessor, and though it offer every compensation it will not be accepted from it. Those are they who perish by their own deserts. For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom, because they disbelieved.” (6:70)

10:38 "For them is a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment because they used to disbelieve."

10:51 Leave, O Muhammad, those who take the religion of Allah as play and amusement, and whom the worldly life has deluded.

11:00 And admonish with this Qur'an those who turn away from you,

11:05 Lest a soul be held in pledge for the sins it earned through its transgressions,

11:10 And be detained in the punishment of Allah,

11:12 Having no protector to aid it when handed over, nor any intercessor to intercede for it,

11:19 And even if it should offer every possible ransom, it will not be accepted from it.

11:23 These are the ones surrendered to Allah's punishment,

11:26 Held captive by it as a recompense for the sins and burdens they accrued in the worldly life.

11:32 For them is a scalding drink,

11:34 And for them is a painful punishment due to their disbelief in Allah in the world.

11:40 “Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come unto us? Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds,” (6:71)

11:47 "And turn back on our heels after Allah has guided us, like one whom the devils have enticed?"

11:57 “Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come unto us? Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds,” (6:71)

12:02 “Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come unto us? Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds,” (6:71)

12:10 Say: "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the true guidance."

12:15 “Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come unto us? Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds,” (6:71)

12:21 Say, O Muhammad, to those who equate false idols with their Lord:

12:26 "Shall we invoke, besides Allah, a stone or a piece of wood that has no power to benefit us or harm us,

12:33 Devoting worship exclusively to it instead of Allah,

12:36 And calling upon it instead of worshipping the One in whose Hand lies all harm and benefit?

12:40 Shall we turn back on our heels, reverting backward into ruin,

12:44 Failing to achieve our ultimate goal,

12:47 After Allah has guided us and granted us success toward it?

12:50 If we were to do so, our example

12:53 Would be like that of a man travelling with a group along a clear path,

12:57 Whom the devils enticed to follow them, so he followed them,

13:01 Thinking he was upon something correct,

13:03 Until morning came and the devils had thrown him into utter destruction—

13:07 Where wild beasts might devour him, or he perishes of thirst.

13:11 Yet this bewildered man has companions on the right path and upright road

13:16 Who call him back to the clear track of guidance,

13:20 Saying to him: 'Come to us and be with us!'

13:23 But he stubbornly refuses."

13:25 Say, O Muhammad:

13:27 "Indeed, the path of Allah, which He has made clear and plain to us,

13:31 Is the true guidance and upright path about which there is no doubt.

13:35 And our Lord has commanded us to submit to Him,

13:37 Surrendering to Him in humility and servitude,

13:51 And to establish prayer according to its proper limits,

13:54 And to fear the Lord of all the worlds—

13:56 So fear Him and beware of His wrath,

13:59 By yielding to Him in obedience.

14:01 And He it is to whom you will be gathered and assembled on the Day of Resurrection,

14:06 Whereupon He will recompense every worker according to his deeds."

14:11 “He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In the day when He saith: Be! it is. His Word is the Truth, and His will be the Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, He is the Wise, the Aware.” (6:73)

14:16 “He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In the day when He saith: Be! it is. His Word is the Truth, and His will be the Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, He is the Wise, the Aware.” (6:73)

14:21 His word is the truth.

14:24 “He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In the day when He saith: Be! it is. His Word is the Truth, and His will be the Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, He is the Wise, the Aware.” (6:73)

14:29 Knower of the unseen and the witnessed.

14:33 And He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.

14:39 Allah alone created the heavens and the earth in ultimate truth and wisdom,

14:44 As an absolute proof over His creation, so that worship may be sincerely devoted to Him alone.

14:48 And on the Day He says—when the earth and heavens are transformed—

14:52 "Be!" and it is, just as Allah will recreate it in the Hereafter.

14:58 This promise of His which He pledged

15:00 Is the absolute truth, untainted by doubt.

15:03 And to Allah belongs all sovereignty on that Day.

15:05 He is the Knower of that which you witness, O people, and see with your eyes,

15:10 As well as that which is hidden from your senses and vision, beyond your perception.

15:15 And He is the All-Wise in His governance,

15:17 The All-Aware of everything they do and earn, whether good or evil.
