Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
0:08
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
0:14
Surat Al-Saffat
0:18
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:23
Gather together those who did wrong, and their spouses, and those who worshiped them
0:30
Instead of God, guide them to the path of hell
0:38
Gather together those who disbelieved in God in this world
0:41
And their followers continued to disbelieve in God
0:46
And they worshiped no gods other than God
0:49
So they directed them to the path of hell
0:54
Stop them, they are responsible
1:00
What is the matter with you that you do not support?
1:04
Rather, today they are surrendering
1:09
O angels, imprison these polytheists and their wives
1:14
They are responsible for what they worshiped instead of God
1:19
What is the matter with you, O polytheists of God, that you do not support one another?
1:24
Rather, today they are surrendering to God’s command and decree regarding them
1:29
We are certain of his torment
1:32
They approached each other asking questions
1:39
They said that you were coming to us from the right
1:46
They said, “Rather, you are not believers.”
1:50
We had no authority over you
1:57
Rather, you were a tyrannical people
2:04
The humans approached the jinn asking questions
2:07
The humans said to the jinn
2:10
You, jinn, used to come to us before religion and truth
2:15
You deceive us in the strongest ways
2:18
The jinn said
2:19
Rather, you were not affirming the monotheism of God
2:23
We have no argument against you to prevent you from believing
2:29
Rather, you polytheists were a people who oppressed God
2:34
Transgressing into what you have no right to transgress, such as disobeying God
2:40
So what our Lord said is true for us
2:44
We are delicious
2:49
We misled you. Indeed, we were deceitful
2:57
So the punishment of our Lord became necessary for us
2:59
We, you and I, will taste torment for our sins and disobedience that we have committed in this world
3:07
So we misled you from the path of God and belief in Him
3:11
We were lost
3:15
On that day, they will share in torment
3:20
We do the same to criminals
3:51
Then We will make them taste the painful torment
3:54
And We will bring them together with their companions in Hell
3:59
When they were told, “There is no god but God,” they would become arrogant
4:08
And they say, “We have left our gods to a crazy poet.”
4:16
Rather, he came with the truth and believed the messengers
4:24
These are polytheists in God
4:27
They were in this world when they were told, “Say, ‘There is no god but God.’”
4:32
They are proud of what is said and arrogant
4:36
They say we should abandon the worship of our gods to follow a crazy poet
4:43
Rather, they denied that Muhammad was as they described him
4:47
Rather, he is a prophet of God who brought the Qur’an from Him
4:52
He believed the messengers who were before him
4:57
You will taste the painful torment
5:04
And you will not be rewarded except for what you used to do
5:11
You, O polytheists, will taste painful torment in the afterlife
5:16
And you will not be rewarded in the Hereafter except the reward for what you did in this world of disobedience to God
5:25
Except sincere servants of God
5:29
Those have a known livelihood
5:35
Fruits and they are honored
5:40
In the gardens of bliss
5:44
On a secret opposite each other
5:49
They are brought around with a cup of wine
5:55
Delightful white for drinkers
6:01
There are no ghouls in it, nor do they bleed from it
6:10
Except for the servants of God whom He saved on the day He created them for His mercy
6:15
They will not taste torment
6:18
These sincere people have a known livelihood
6:22
It is the fruits that God created for them in Paradise
6:26
They are honored with God’s dignity with which God has honored them in the gardens of bliss
6:33
On a secret they meet each other
6:37
Servants parade around them with a cup of flowing wine
6:41
Visible to their unobtrusive eyes
6:44
A cup of wine is a pleasure that drinkers enjoy
6:49
There is no harm in this wine and there is no harm to the drinker in body or mind
6:55
And nothing else
6:57
Nor do they worry about drinking it. Their minds bleed
7:02
They have minor limbs
7:08
As if they were hidden white
7:15
And those who are sincere will be in heaven
7:18
Women who restricted their limbs to their husbands
7:23
They do not extend their gaze to others
7:27
The son of the eyes is her bones
7:30
As if they were hidden eggs
7:32
They looked like they were white and that no human being or jinn had touched them before their husbands
7:39
With the egg white that is inside the shell
7:43
It is skin covered with yolk
7:46
Before any other hand or thing touches it
7:49
As for the upper crust
7:51
The bird touches it and the hands touch it
7:57
They turned to each other asking questions
8:04
One of them said that I had a companion
8:11
He says, "Are you among those who believe?"
8:17
When we die and become dust and bones, will we be indebted?
8:26
Some of the people of Paradise approached each other asking questions
8:31
Someone from the people of Paradise said
8:34
I had a companion
8:36
That consort was a demon
8:40
That companion was telling him
8:43
Are you among those who believe in resurrection after death?
8:47
If we die and become dust and bones?
8:51
We are the ones who will be held accountable and rewarded
8:55
He said: Are you the one who comes out?
9:01
So he went out and saw him in the middle of hell
9:07
Tallah said that the blocks would satisfy you
9:12
Were it not for the grace of my Lord, I would have been among those in attendance
9:20
This is the believer who admitted his companions to Paradise
9:25
Are you going up into the fire?
9:27
Maybe I can see my horn
9:30
And they said yes
9:32
So he went up into the fire and saw him in the middle of hell
9:36
And he said to him
9:37
By God, if you exist in this world, you will destroy me by preventing me from believing in the resurrection
9:44
Had God not blessed me with His guidance and success in believing in the resurrection
9:50
I would have been among those present with you in God's punishment
9:55
Are we not dead?
9:59
Except our first death, and we will not be tormented
10:05
This is a great victory for him
10:10
Let the workers work for this
10:16
Are we not dead other than our first death in this world?
10:21
And we will not be tormented after we enter Paradise
10:25
This is the dignity that God has given us in Paradise
10:30
That we will not be tortured or die
10:32
It is a great salvation from what we used to be in this world, wary of God’s punishment
10:39
God Almighty said, mention him
10:41
For such is the dignity given to these believers in the afterlife
10:47
Let those who work in this world work for themselves
10:51
To realize what these people realized by obeying their Lord
10:56
Is that the best place to stay or the Zakum tree?
11:02
We have made it a trial for the wrongdoers
11:10
Is this good that I gave these believers from My dignity in Paradise?
11:16
Or what I have prepared for the people of Hell of Zakum
11:20
We have made it a temptation for these polytheists
11:24
Those who said: How do trees grow in the fire?
11:28
And the fire burns the trees
11:32
It is a tree that emerges at the root of hell
11:38
It looked like the heads of demons
11:43
They will eat from it and fill their stomachs with it
11:52
It is a tree that emerges at the root of hell
11:55
I was fed by fire and from it I was created
11:59
In its ugliness and vulgarity, it was as if the trees of the Zakum tree were the heads of demons
12:05
For these polytheists, for whom God made this tree, will be a trial
12:11
You will eat from this tree, which is the tree of Zakum
12:17
Millions of people will fill their stomachs with its sickness
12:30
Their reference is to hell
12:35
If they met their fathers asking
12:44
They are running on their tracks
12:49
These polytheists are responsible for what they eat from the Zakum tree
12:54
A mixture of hot water
12:57
The one who got hottest ended his heat
13:00
Then their fate is to hell
13:03
These polytheists found their fathers intentionally straying from the path
13:09
These people speed them on their way
13:13
To follow their footsteps and traditions
13:17
Most of the ancients had gone astray before them
13:22
And We have sent among them warners
13:27
So look at what was the outcome of those who were warned
13:33
Except sincere servants of God
13:38
O Muhammad, most of the nations before them have strayed from the right path before the polytheists of your people
13:45
And We sent warners to the nations that passed before you, warning them of Our punishment
13:52
So contemplate and see how We destroyed the warners
13:55
Except the servants of God whom We have sincerely believed in God and His messengers
14:02
Noah called out to us and those who responded responded
14:09
We saved him and his family from great distress
14:15
And We made his descendants the ones who remain
14:22
God Almighty says mention him
14:24
Noah called us by asking us about the destruction of his people
14:29
Let us be the best responders. We were His when He called us
14:33
So we answered his prayer and destroyed his people
14:37
We saved him and his family who boarded the ship with him
14:41
From the harm and hatred that he experienced from the unbelievers
14:46
From the anguish of flood and drowning
14:49
And We made the descendants of Noah those who remained on earth after the destruction of his people
14:55
The non-Arabs and the Arabs are the descendants of Shem, son of Noah
14:59
The Turks, Saqlabiyya, and Khazars are the sons of Japheth ibn Noah
15:04
Sudan is the children of Ham, son of Noah
15:07
Thus, the effects came and the scholars said
15:12
We left it to others
15:16
Peace be upon Noah in the worlds
15:22
This is how We reward the doers of good
15:27
He is one of our faithful servants
15:32
Then we drowned the others
15:40
And We preserved Noah with beautiful remembrance and good praise
15:44
Of the people who stayed behind after him, they would remind him of him
15:48
A guarantee from God for Noah in the worlds that no one would remember him badly
15:54
We are as we did to Noah as a reward for our obedience
15:59
Thus We reward those who do good and obey Us
16:03
Noah was one of our servants who believed in us
16:07
So unite us and devote our worship to us
16:10
Then We drowned when We saved Noah and his family from the great distress of what remained of his people
16:17
