Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation | Episode (47-2) | Surah Muhammad

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

0:05 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

0:08 Abridged by Dr. Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammari.

0:13 Surah Muhammad.

0:19 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:23 Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them?

0:32 Allah destroyed them completely.

0:36 And for the disbelievers is something similar.

0:40 Have these polytheists not traveled through the lands?

0:44 So that they might observe how was the end of those who denied the truth among the nations that came before them.

0:51 Did We not destroy them and bring ruin upon their dwellings?

0:54 And for the disbelievers among the Quraysh, there is a swift punishment similar to the end of those who came before them.

1:02 “That is because Allah is patron of those who believe, and because the disbelievers have no patron.” (47:11)

1:07 “That is because Allah is patron of those who believe, and because the disbelievers have no patron.” (47:11)

1:28 Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds into gardens.

1:36 Gardens beneath which rivers flow.

1:44 “Lo! Allah will cause those who believe and do good works to enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; while those who disbelieve take their comfort in this life and eat even as the cattle eat, and the Fire is their habitation.” (47:12)

1:55 Indeed, Allah alone possesses the divinity that is not appropriate for anyone else.

1:59 He admits those who believe in Allah and His Messenger into gardens beneath whose trees rivers flow.

2:06 As for those who reject the oneness of Allah, they enjoy the fleeting goods and adornments of this world.

2:13 They eat therein without reflecting on the Hereafter, just like the grazing livestock.

2:19 Which have no concern other than grazing and nothing more.

2:24 And the fire of Hell is their dwelling place to which they will return after their death.

2:36 “And how many a township stronger than thy township (O Muhammad) which hath cast thee out, have We destroyed, and they had no helper!” (47:13)

2:46 And how many a city, O Muhammad, was stronger than your city.

2:51 And its people were more powerful than the people of your city, which is Makkah.

2:56 We destroyed them, and there was no helper to save them from the punishment of Allah.

3:02 “Is he who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord like those for whom the evil that they do is beautified while they follow their own lusts?” (47:14)

3:17 Is he who is upon clear evidence, proof, and clarity from his Lord, and knowledge of His oneness?

3:24 And he worships Him with insight.

3:27 Like one to whom the evil of his deeds has been made attractive by Satan, so he sees it as beautiful?

3:33 And they followed what their own souls invited them to, of disobedience to Allah and the worship of idols.

3:59 And rivers of wine, a delight for the drinkers.

4:07 And rivers of wine, a delight for the drinkers.

4:12 And rivers of purified honey.

4:16 “A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord. (Are those who enjoy all this) like those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that it teareth their bowels?” (47:15)

4:24 Like one who will abide eternally in the Fire and be given to drink scalding water that will sever their intestines?

4:41 The description of the Paradise which those who feared the punishment of Allah in this world were promised.

4:46 By performing His obligatory duties and avoiding His prohibitions.

4:50 In it are rivers of water, the taste and smell of which do not change.

4:54 “A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord. (Are those who enjoy all this) like those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that it teareth their bowels?” (47:15)

4:58 Because it was not milked from an animal, so its taste does not change.

5:02 And in it are rivers of wine, a delight for the drinkers, who find pleasure in drinking it.

5:08 And in it are rivers of honey that has been purified of all impurities.

5:13 And for these righteous people in this Paradise are all kinds of fruits that grow on trees.

5:20 And forgiveness from Allah for their sins.

5:23 Is he who is in this Paradise like him who will abide eternally in the Fire?

5:28 And those who will abide eternally in the Fire are given to drink water that has reached its boiling point.

5:34 So that water, due to its intense heat, severs their intestines.

5:39 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16)

5:46 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16)

5:50 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16)

5:53 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16)

5:59 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16)

6:09 And among these disbelievers, O Muhammad, are those who listen to you.

6:13 He is the hypocrite.

6:15 He listens to what you say, but he does not comprehend or understand it.

6:19 Out of negligence and disregard for what you recite to him from the Book of your Lord.

6:24 “Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now? Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.” (47:16)

6:27 They say to those who were present with them in your gathering from among the people of knowledge of the Book of Allah:

6:32 "What did Muhammad say just now?"

6:35 These are the ones upon whose hearts Allah has set a seal, and they have rejected the command of Allah.

6:40 And followed what their own souls invited them to.

6:44 So they do not return from what they are upon to any truth or proof.

6:58 But as for those whom Allah has guided to follow the truth:

7:02 Allah increases them in faith alongside their faith.

7:06 And Allah grants these guided ones their piety.

7:13 Except that the Hour will come upon them suddenly.

7:17 For its signs have already appeared.

7:22 So how will they be reminded when it comes to them?

7:29 Do these deniers wait for anything except the Hour which Allah has promised His creation for their resurrection?

7:37 That it should come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware of its arrival?

7:42 For the Hour and its signs and precursors have already come to these disbelievers in Allah.

7:48 So from what perspective will these deniers of Allah's signs have a reminder of what they have wasted?

7:55 That is not a time when remembering and regret will benefit them; it is a time of recompense.

8:12 So know, O Muhammad, that there is no deity worthy of or fit for divinity except Allah.

8:18 And ask your Lord for forgiveness for your past and present sins.

8:23 And for the sins of the believing men and women.

8:27 For Allah knows your movements in whatever you are engaged in.

8:32 And the knowledge of your Lord, and the knowledge of your Lord.

8:36 And the knowledge of your Lord, and the knowledge of your Lord.

8:39 For Allah knows your movements in whatever you are engaged in during your waking hours.

8:45 And your resting place when you settle in your beds for sleep at night.

8:49 Nothing of that is hidden from Him.

8:54 “And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!” (47:20)

8:59 “And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!” (47:20)

9:06 “And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!” (47:20)

9:13 “And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them!” (47:20)

9:23 So woe to them.

9:26 And those who believe in Allah and His Messenger say:

9:29 "Why has a surah not been sent down from Allah commanding us to wage jihad against the enemies of Allah from among the disbelievers?"

9:36 But when a surah is sent down, decisive in its clarity and obligations.

9:40 And in it is mentioned the command to fight the polytheists.

9:44 You see those in whose hearts is doubt regarding the religion of Allah and weakness.

9:48 Looking at you, O Muhammad, with the look of one fainting from the fear of death.

9:54 Fearing that you might send them out to battle and command them to perform jihad.

9:58 So woe to those in whose hearts is a disease.

10:02 This is a threat with which Allah threatens them.

10:21 Obedience and honorable speech before the obligation is imposed upon you.

10:26 But when fighting becomes obligatory and the command of Allah comes to mandate it, you dislike it.

10:31 If they had been truthful to Allah in what they promised before the surah regarding fighting was sent down.

10:36 And fulfilled it for Him.

10:38 It would have been better for them in the immediate life of this world and the delayed life of the Hereafter.

11:02 So perhaps, O people, if you turn away from the revelation of Allah.

11:07 You will commit corruption on earth.

11:09 And disbelieve in Him and shed blood therein.

11:12 And sever your ties of kinship.

11:15 And return to what you were upon in your days of ignorance of fragmentation and division.

11:21 These are the ones who do this.

11:23 Allah has cursed them and distanced them from His mercy.

11:27 And He has deprived them of understanding what they hear with their ears of the admonitions of Allah.

11:32 And He has deprived them of their intellects.

11:34 So they do not discern the proofs and signs of Allah.

11:46 Do these hypocrites not reflect upon the admonitions of Allah in the verses of the Qur'an and ponder His proofs?

11:54 Or has Allah locked their hearts?

11:57 So they do not comprehend what Allah has sent down in His Book of admonitions and lessons.

12:05 “Lo! those who turn back after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, Satan hath seduced them, and He giveth them the rein.” (47:25)

12:12 “Lo! those who turn back after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, Satan hath seduced them, and He giveth them the rein.” (47:25)

12:21 Indeed, those who turned back on their heels as disbelievers in Allah.

12:26 “Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (2:109)

12:30 Satan has made their apostasy attractive to them.

12:34 And Allah has granted them respite in their life spans.

12:38 “That is because they say unto those who hate what Allah hath revealed: We will obey you in some matters; and Allah knoweth their secret talk.” (47:26)

12:48 And Allah knows their secrets.

12:52 Allah has given these hypocrites false hope.

12:55 And Satan has enticed them.

12:57 Because they said to those who disliked what Allah sent down regarding the command to fight the people of polytheism:

13:04 "We will obey you in some of the matter," which is contrary to the command of Allah and the command of His Messenger, peace be upon him.

13:12 And Allah knows the secrets of these two factions who are allied in hypocrisy.

13:18 Nothing of that or any other matter is hidden from Him.

13:23 “Then how (will it be with them) when the angels gather them, smiting their faces and their backs!” (47:27)

13:32 “That will be because they followed that which angereth Allah, and hated that which pleaseth Him. Therefor He hath made their actions vain.” (47:28)

13:43 So how can He not know their state when the angels take their souls?

13:47 While they strike their faces and their backs.

13:50 Their state is also not hidden from Him at that time.

13:55 The angels do that to these hypocrites.

13:59 Because they followed what angers Allah, which is the obedience of Satan.

14:04 And they disliked what pleases Him, which is fighting the people of disbelief in Him.

14:08 So Allah has nullified the reward of their deeds and caused it to vanish.

14:23 Do these hypocrites, in whose hearts is doubt regarding their religion, think?

14:29 That Allah will not bring out the malice that is in their hearts against the believers?

14:34 So He reveals it to them and makes it manifest until they recognize their hypocrisy and their confusion in their religion.

14:41 “And if We would, We could show them unto thee (Muhammad) so that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks. And thou shalt know them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knoweth your deeds.” (47:30)

14:49 “And if We would, We could show them unto thee (Muhammad) so that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks. And thou shalt know them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knoweth your deeds.” (47:30)

14:55 And Allah knows your deeds.

15:00 And if We willed, O Muhammad, We could show you these hypocrites so that you would know them.

15:06 You would certainly recognize them by the signs of hypocrisy that appear in the content of their speech.

15:12 And you would certainly recognize these hypocrites by the meaning of their words.

15:17 And Allah knows your deeds.

15:19 The one among you who acts in obedience to Him and the one who opposes that is not hidden from Him.

15:24 And He will recompense all of you for them.

15:37 And We will surely test you, O believers, with fighting and jihad against the enemies of Allah.

15:45 Until We know those among you who are the party and allies of the people of jihad for the sake of Allah.

15:50 And those who are patient in fighting His enemies.

15:53 And He distinguishes those among you who have insight into their religion from those who have doubt.

16:09 “Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, they hurt Allah not a jot, and He will make their actions fruitless.” (47:32)

16:23 They will not harm Allah at all, and He will render their deeds worthless.

16:34 Indeed, those who reject the oneness of Allah.

16:37 And avert people from His religion with which He sent His Messenger.

16:41 And oppose His Messenger, Muhammad, peace be upon him.

16:45 And fight him and harm him after they knew that he was a sent prophet.

16:50 They will not harm Allah at all.

16:53 Because Allah will fulfill His command and grant victory to His Messenger.

16:57 And He will cause their deeds to vanish, so they will not benefit them in this world or the Hereafter.
