Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
0:08
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
0:14
Surah Fussilat
0:18
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:22
And We appointed for them companions
0:26
So they decorated for them what was before them
0:30
So they decorated for them what was before them
0:35
And what is behind them
0:36
They are right to say that
0:39
They have the right to say about nations
0:43
It had passed away before them
0:46
From jinn and humans
0:50
They were losers
0:55
And We sent them counterparts from the devils
0:59
So We made them their companions
1:01
We paired them with them
1:03
They make their deeds beautiful
1:06
So they decorated for them what was before them
1:08
From the matter of the world
1:10
And they also did good for them after their death
1:13
By calling them to deny the Day of Resurrection
1:17
And they must be tormented among nations
1:19
It had passed before them
1:21
They are entitled to our punishment
1:23
Like the one who is entitled to these people
1:26
Some of them are jinn
1:27
Some of them are human
1:29
Those nations were fools
1:32
By selling them, God was pleased with His displeasure
1:36
And those who disbelieved said
1:38
Do not listen to this Quran
1:41
And err therein that you may prevail
1:46
Those who disbelieved in God and His Messenger said:
1:49
Do not listen to the reciter of this Qur’an
1:52
If he reads it
1:53
And do not listen to him
1:55
And he distorts falsehood from the statement if he reads it
1:58
Perhaps you will do so
2:00
You deter anyone who wants to listen to it
2:02
He does not hear it
2:04
So you defeat Muhammad
2:07
So let us taste those who disbelieve
2:11
Severe torture
2:14
And let us reward them
2:17
And let us reward them
2:20
The worst they used to do
2:25
Let us taste those who disbelieve in God
2:28
Severe torment in the afterlife
2:30
We will reward them for doing so
2:33
And others receive the worst punishment for their deeds
2:36
What they did in this world
2:39
That is the punishment for the enemies of God, Hell
2:48
They will have the abode of eternity therein
2:50
A recompense for what they denied Our signs
2:59
This is the punishment that is given to these people
3:02
It is fire
3:04
They have a place to stay and stay
3:06
We did this we did
3:09
As a reward from us for their ungratefulness, our signs
3:13
And those who disbelieved said, “Our Lord.”
3:16
Show us those who misled us
3:18
From jinn and humans
3:22
We put them under our feet
3:27
To be among the lowest
3:31
Those who disbelieved in God and His Messenger said:
3:35
O our Lord, show us those who misled us
3:38
Who created you from their jinn and made them human?
3:41
We make these two those who led us astray
3:43
Under our feet
3:45
To be in the most severe torment
3:47
In the lowest depths of fire
3:51
Those who said, “Our Lord is God.”
3:54
Then they straightened up
3:57
Angels descend upon them
4:06
Do not be afraid or beware
4:09
And give good tidings of Paradise
4:14
Which you were promised
4:21
Those who said, “Our Lord is God.”
4:23
He is alone and has no partner
4:25
Then they adhered to the monotheism of God
4:28
Angels descend on them
4:31
When death descends upon them
4:33
Not to be afraid of what is in front of you
4:36
And do not be sad about what you leave behind
4:40
And be pleased that in the afterlife you will have Paradise
4:43
Which you were promised in this world
4:48
We are your guardians
4:52
In this life and in the afterlife
4:56
You have in it whatever your souls desire
5:01
And you have in it whatever you call upon
5:05
They came down from the Forgiving, the Most Merciful
5:13
We are your guardians, O people, in this worldly life
5:17
We were taking care of you
5:19
And in the afterlife also, we are your guardians
5:23
And in the Hereafter you will have with God whatever your souls desire
5:27
Of pleasures and desires
5:29
Your Lord gave you that as a revelation for you
5:33
From a God who forgives your sins
5:35
He is merciful to you to punish you after your repentance
5:40
Who is better in speech than he who calls to God?
5:46
And he did good
5:51
He said that I am a Muslim
5:58
O people, who has better words than he who said, “Our Lord is God.”
6:03
Then he persisted in believing in him
6:05
He called on the servants of God to do what he said and did
6:09
He said that I was one of those who submitted to God through obedience
6:15
Neither good nor bad are equal
6:19
Pay with what is best
6:22
So, the one between you and whom there is enmity is as if he were a close friend
6:36
Faith in God and acting in obedience to Him are not equal
6:40
And polytheism and acting in disobedience to Him
6:43
O Muhammad, repel the ignorance of those who ignore you with your dream
6:48
He will become your abuser
6:50
The one between you and whom there is enmity
6:52
As if from his kindness to you and his kindness to you
6:56
I have one of your paternal uncles who is close to you
7:02
And none will attain it except those who are patient
7:06
Only someone with great luck will find it
7:15
What is given is repelling bad deeds with good deeds
7:18
Except those who are patient for God in the face of hardship and difficult matters
7:23
And what happens to this act?
7:25
Except one who has a share and has found a great precedent in the blessings
7:32
Or he will drive you away from Satan
7:38
So seek refuge in God, for He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing
7:46
Or Satan will throw us, O Muhammad, into yourself
7:50
Whispers of self-talk
7:52
The desire to force you to reward evil with evil
7:57
So seek refuge in God and refrain from His steps
8:00
God is the Hearer to restore you from His whims
8:04
And other than what you said
8:07
The All-Knowing of the whims He has thrown into your soul
8:10
And other matters of yours and the matters of His creation
8:15
Among His signs are the night and the day, the sun and the moon
8:21
Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon
8:25
And they prostrated to God
8:28
They prostrated to God who created them
8:32
If you worship Him
8:38
Among the proofs of God Almighty for His creation is the difference between night and day
8:43
And each one of them punishes its owner
8:46
And the sun and the moon
8:49
Do not prostrate, O people, to the sun or the moon
8:52
Even if they occur in astronomy, they will benefit you
8:56
They run by God's will, obedient to Him
9:00
Not that they are able to walk and run on their own
9:05
They prostrated to God, who created night and day, the sun and the moon
9:10
If you worship God and submit to Him in obedience
9:35
If the polytheists of Quraysh are arrogant, O Muhammad, those whom you are among are polytheists
9:42
They were too proud to prostrate to God who created them
9:46
The angels who are with your Lord do not inquire about that
9:51
And they are not proud of him
9:53
Rather, they pray day and night
9:56
They do not abandon their worship and do not tire of praying to Him
10:13
When We send water down on it, it shakes and shudders
10:19
The One who brought it to life erased the dead
10:24
He is powerful over all things
10:31
It is also God's arguments and evidence for His ability to raise the dead
10:36
O Muhammad, you see the earth covered with dust
10:40
There is no plant or planting there
10:43
When We send down rain from the sky on this earth
10:47
It shook with the plant and swelled
10:50
He is the one who revived this earth
10:53
He is able to revive the dead children of Adam after their death
10:58
Your Lord, O Muhammad, is responsible for reviving His creation after their death
11:02
And whatever he wants
11:04
He is powerful and cannot be prevented from doing anything he wants
11:10
Those who deny Our verses are not hidden from Us
11:16
Is the one who is thrown into the Fire better or the one who comes safe on the Day of Resurrection?
11:26
Do whatever you want. Indeed, He sees what you do
11:34
Those who turn away from the truth in our arguments and evidence
11:39
We know them and they are not hidden from us
11:43
We are on the lookout for them
11:45
Is this the one who is thrown into the fire better?
11:49
Or the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection safe from God’s punishment because of his faith in God?
11:55
If he believes in God's verses and follows God's command
11:59
His security on the Day of Resurrection
12:02
Do whatever you want
12:04
This is also a feast for them
12:07
O people, God is your deeds that you do
12:11
Experienced and knowledgeable
12:13
Nothing is hidden from him or anything else
12:18
Those who rejected the remembrance when it came to them
12:25
It is a dear book
12:30
Falsehood does not come to him from before him or behind him
12:37
Download from Hakim Hameed
12:44
Those who denied this Qur’an and denied it when it came to them
12:49
This memory is a book that is dear to God, as God blesses it
12:54
And protect it from anyone who wants to alter or distort it
12:59
No false person can change it with his machinations
13:03
Changing some of its meanings from what it is
13:06
That is what came from before him
13:10
Do not add anything that is not part of it to it
13:13
And that was coming from behind him
13:15
It is a revelation from one who has wisdom under the guidance of his servants
13:20
He is praised for his blessings upon them through his hands with them
13:25
What is said to you is nothing but what was said to messengers before you
13:32
Indeed, your Lord is the Possessor of forgiveness and the Possessor of a painful punishment
13:40
What do these lying polytheists tell you?
13:44
Except for what the nations before them had said
13:47
So be patient with whatever permission you get from them
13:50
Indeed, your Lord is willing to forgive the sins of those who repent
13:54
It is a painful punishment for those who persist in their disbelief and sins
14:01
Even if we made it a foreign Qur’an
14:04
They would have said, “If His verses had not been explained in detail.”
14:09
Non-Arab and non-Arab
14:13
Say: It is a guidance and a cure for those who believe
14:20
And those who do not believe, there is deafness in their ears, and it is upon them
14:28
They are calling from far away
14:38
And if we had made this Qur’an that We revealed, O Muhammad, non-Arab
14:43
Your people would have said, Have you not explained its evidence and what is in it?
14:48
So we understand it and know what it is and what is in it
14:51
And they were saying in denial about it
14:54
I translate this Qur’an
14:57
The tongue of what was revealed to him is Arabic
15:00
Tell them, O Muhammad
15:02
The Qur’an is for those who believe in God and His Messenger, an explanation of the truth
15:07
And a cure for ignorance
15:09
And those who do not believe in God and His Messenger
15:13
There is heaviness in their ears from listening to this Qur’an
15:17
This Qur’an is on the hearts of those who disbelieve in it and about it
15:22
They do not see his arguments against them and his sermons
15:27
Understand as with a distant voice calling
15:31
He did not understand what was called
15:34
It was said that they will call on the Day of Resurrection from a far away place
15:40
We gave Moses the Scripture, but they disagreed about it
15:46
Had it not been for a word that had preceded from your Lord, it would have been decided between them
15:52
And they are in doubt
15:59
We gave Moses the Torah
16:01
So there was disagreement regarding the work, including those who were given it from the Jews
16:06
Were it not for the previous decree and judgment of God over them
16:10
He delayed their torment until the Day of Resurrection
16:14
To hasten the separation between them by destroying the invalid ones among them
16:18
The incorrect group among them is in doubt about what they said about it
16:23
What they say about it makes them suspicious
16:26
Because they said it without proof, but they said it in conjecture
16:32
Whoever does good deeds, it is for himself
16:36
And whoever offends her
16:40
And your Lord is not unjust to His servants
16:47
Whoever works in obedience to God in this world
16:50
He did that work for himself
16:53
Because he will be punished
16:56
And whoever acts in disobedience to God, he will commit sin upon himself
17:00
Because he earned her the wrath of God
17:03
And your Lord, O Muhammad, does not bear the punishment for a sin committed by someone who did not earn it
17:10
Rather, he does not punish anyone except for the crime that he acquired
17:17
