0:05 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation

0:08 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammar

0:14 Surat Al-Zumar

0:18 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

0:23 If harm befalls a person, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him

0:30 Then, if He grants him a blessing from Him

0:34 Then, if He grants him a blessing from Him

0:39 He forgot what he was praying for before

0:44 He forgot what he was praying for before

0:48 And He gave God equals to stray from His path

0:54 Say, “Enjoy your disbelief for a little while, for you are among the inmates of Hell.”

1:03 If a person is affected by a calamity in his body, such as a disease

1:08 He sought help from his Lord because of the severity of this

1:11 Repenting to Him of the disbelief in Him that occurred before

1:15 Then if his Lord grants him well-being

1:19 So his harm was revealed to him

1:21 He abandoned his supplication, which he had previously called upon God to reveal the harm that was afflicting him

1:27 And He gave God examples and similarities

1:30 To remove those who wanted to unite God

1:33 Say, O Muhammad, to the one who did that

1:36 Enjoy your disbelief in God for a little while until you fulfill your deadline

1:41 You are one of the people of Hell staying there

1:45 This is a threat from God

1:50 Is he despondent at night, prostrating and standing?

1:59 Prostrating and standing, he warns of the afterlife and hopes for the mercy of his Lord

2:07 Say: Are those who know and those who do not know equal?

2:14 Only people of understanding remember

2:21 Is he despondent at night?

2:24 Prostrating at one time and standing at one time

2:27 He warns of the torment of the afterlife

2:29 He hopes that God will have mercy on him and admit him to Paradise

2:33 Are those who know equal the reward they have in their obedience to their Lord?

2:38 And there are no consequences for their disobedience

2:42 And those who don't know that

2:45 Rather, he considers the arguments of God and becomes disgraced

2:48 The people of reason and reasoning ponder it

2:52 Say, O servants of those who believe, fear your Lord

2:58 For those who do good in this world is good

3:03 God's earth is vast

3:06 Only those who are patient will be given their reward without reckoning

3:15 Say, Muhammad

3:18 O My servants who believe in God and believe in His Messenger

3:22 Fear your Lord by obeying Him and protect us from disobeying Him

3:27 For those who obey God there is good in this world

3:31 Health and wellness

3:33 And it was said: Paradise

3:36 God's earth is spacious and vast

3:39 So they migrated from the land of polytheism to the land of Islam

3:43 God only gives people patience for what they face in this world

3:48 Their reward in the afterlife without reckoning

3:51 Say, “I have been commanded to worship God, making my religion sincere to Him.”

4:00 I was ordered to be the first of the Muslims

4:05 Say, “I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a great day.”

4:13 Say, “I worship God, sincerely, He has my religion.”

4:18 Say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists of your people

4:23 God commanded me to worship Him alone and obey Him alone

4:27 I worship Him most sincerely

4:30 Tell them, O Muhammad

4:32 I fear, if I disobey my Lord in what He has commanded me to do of worshiping Him, the punishment of the Day of Resurrection

4:39 Say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists of your people

4:42 I worship God as a single Savior who has my obedience and worship

4:47 I do not make him a partner in that

4:50 So worship whatever you want besides Him

4:56 Say: The losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection

5:05 Except that is the clear loss

5:10 So, you people, worship whatever idols you want

5:15 And other than what you worship

5:18 You will know the consequences of your worship when you meet your Lord

5:24 Tell them, O Muhammad

5:26 Indeed, the perishers who were destroyed by the punishment of God, their family with their own souls

5:32 Except that these polytheists will lose on the Day of Resurrection

5:37 It is the destruction that makes clear to those who see it and know that it is loss

5:43 They will have shades of fire above them and shades below them

5:51 This causes God to fear His servants

5:56 O servants, fear!

6:02 For those losers on the Day of Resurrection in Hell

6:06 Above them are shades of fire

6:09 Like the form of shadows built of fire

6:12 And beneath them of the Fire is what is above them until it becomes a shadow

6:17 This is what I told you, O people, about the punishment for the losers on the Day of Resurrection

6:24 A fear from your Lord towards you so that you may beware of Him and avoid disobeying Him

6:30 So fear Me by performing My duties upon you and avoiding sins

6:36 And those who avoid the taghut should worship it

6:41 And they turned to God for their humans

6:45 So give good news to servants

6:49 Those who listen to what is said and follow the best of it

6:54 Those whom God has guided

7:00 And those are people of understanding

7:06 And those who avoid worshiping everything that is worshiped other than God

7:12 They repented to God and returned to acknowledging His monotheism and acting in obedience to Him

7:18 They have humans in this world and paradise in the afterlife

7:22 So give good news, O Muhammad, to the servants of those who listen to the word and follow its guidance

7:28 Those who listen to what is said and follow the best of it

7:33 They are the ones whom God has guided to guidance and to do what is right

7:38 These are the people of reason and wisdom

7:43 Whoever is subject to the word of torment, will you save those who are in Hell?

7:52 Is he the one for whom the word of torment was imposed before your Lord knew, O Muhammad, of his disbelief in it?

7:59 Will you, O Muhammad, save the one who is in Hell from the one upon whom the word of torment is due?

8:05 You save him

8:07 But those who fear their Lord will have chambers above it

8:15 Built rooms with rivers running underneath them

8:26 God promised, God does not fail to promise

8:35 But those who fear their Lord by performing His duties and avoiding His prohibitions

8:41 They will have rooms in Paradise, above which are rooms built on top of each other

8:48 Rivers flow from beneath the trees of its paradise

8:52 We promised these rooms to these pious people

8:56 God does not break His promise to them

9:00 Have you not seen that God sent down water from the sky and caused it to spring into springs on earth?

9:13 Then he produces crops of different colors

9:19 Then it becomes agitated and you see it turn yellow, then it turns it into debris

9:31 Indeed, in that is a reminder for those of understanding

9:38 Did you not see, O Muhammad, that God sent down rain from the sky?

9:44 So he made eyes on the earth

9:47 Then he grew different types of plants with that water

9:51 Among wheat, barley, sesame and rice

9:55 Then that plant withers after its greenness, and you see it as yellow

10:01 Then he makes that planting, after it has become dry, young and broken

10:07 God's doing this is a reminder and a warning for rational people to remember Him

10:13 They know who did it

10:16 It will not be impossible for him to cause whatever things he wants

10:20 Is it someone whose heart God has opened to Islam?

10:26 He is on the light of his Lord

10:29 Woe to those whose hearts are hardened at the remembrance of God

10:37 Those are in clear error

10:43 Is he who God has opened his heart to know?

10:48 He has insight and certainty

10:51 As if God had hardened his heart

10:53 He is unable to listen to the truth and do what is right

10:57 So woe to those whose hearts have dried up from the Qur’an

11:01 Who sent it down as a reminder to His servants

11:05 These people have hard hearts and are in clear error to those who contemplate it and contemplate it

11:12 God sent down the best hadith as a similar book

11:18 It causes goosebumps on the skins of those who fear their Lord

11:26 Then their skins and hearts soften to the remembrance of God

11:38 That is God’s guidance, with which He guides whom He wills

11:44 Whoever God leads astray, he has no guide

11:51 God revealed the Qur’an, some of which resemble each other

11:55 There is no difference or contradiction in it

11:58 It includes information, reports, judgments, rulings, and arguments

12:04 Hearing it makes the skin of those who fear their Lord shudder

12:08 Then their skins and hearts will soften to act according to the Book of God and believe in it

12:15 This is what afflicts these people

12:18 May God grant them success

12:22 God guides with the Qur’an whomever He wills among His servants

12:26 And whoever God will let down from believing in this Qur’an and believing in it

12:31 He has no one who guides him and guides him in following him

12:36 Is he who will protect his face from the worst torment on the Day of Resurrection?

12:45 And it was said to the wrongdoers, “Taste what you used to earn.”

12:53 Is he who protects his face from the evil of torment on the Day of Resurrection better?

12:58 He will be safe in Paradise

13:00 On that day it will be said to the wrongdoers themselves

13:04 Taste today, O people, the evil of what you have earned in this world by disobeying God

13:10 Those before them lied, so the torment came to them from where they did not perceive

13:19 So God made them taste disgrace in this worldly life

13:24 And the torment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew

13:32 Those before those polytheists from the nations who passed away lied

13:40 Then the punishment of God came to them from the place from which they did not know that it was coming

13:46 May God hasten humiliation in this world for these nations

13:50 And God’s punishment for them in the afterlife is greater than the punishment with which He punished them in this world

13:57 If these polytheists from Quraish knew that

14:01 And We have presented for the people every example in this Qur’an, so that they may remember

14:13 We have presented to these polytheists every example of the past centuries

14:21 A warning to them so that they might remember and remove their blindness from disbelief in God

14:36 We have given people every example in this Qur’an

14:41 An unambiguous Arabic Qur’an so that they can understand the meanings it contains

14:47 So that they fear what God warned them about of His punishment, so they turn to worshiping Him

15:11 Praise be to God, but most of them do not know

15:18 God set an example for this infidel

15:21 A man who is between a group of different, disputing owners

15:26 Each one of them uses it according to his share and ownership in it

15:32 A man who is sincere to another means a monotheist believer who is sincere in his worship of God

15:39 Is it equal to someone who serves a group of partners who have bad morals?

15:46 And whoever serves one person, no one will dispute with him

15:51 Which of these two is better, has a better body, and is less tired?

15:56 Complete thanks to God alone, without every deity other than Him

16:01 Rather, most of these polytheists do not know that they are not equal

16:07 Because of their ignorance, they worship various gods other than God

16:13 You are dead and they are dead

16:22 On the Day of Resurrection, you will dispute before your Lord

16:31 O Muhammad, you will soon die

16:36 These people who denounce you and the believers among them are dead

16:42 Then all of you, believers and unbelievers, will dispute on the Day of Resurrection before your Lord

16:50 It will be taken from the oppressor among you for the oppressed
