0:03 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
0:07 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
0:12 Surah Al-Ahqaf
0:15 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:23 Protector
0:26 Download the book from God the Mighty, the Wise
0:34 We did not create the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth and for a specified term
0:44 And those who disbelieve turn away from what they are warned
0:50 Hamim
0:52 This is the revelation of the Qur’an from God Almighty in His revenge on His enemies
0:58 The wise man is in his management of his creation
1:01 We did not create the heavens and the earth and all the different parts of the world between them
1:07 Except to establish justice in creation
1:10 Otherwise, there is a deadline for all of that known to Him
1:14 It will annihilate him if he reaches it
1:16 And those who denied the oneness of God
1:19 They turn away from God's warning
1:23 They do not learn from it and do not think about it
1:28 Say, "Have you seen what you call upon other than God? Show me what they have created from the earth."
1:40 Or do they have a trap in the heavens?
1:44 Give me a book before this or some traces of knowledge if you are truthful
1:58 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists in God
2:03 Have you seen, O people, the gods that you worship instead of God?
2:08 Show me what they created from the earth
2:11 Or are the gods that you worship, O people, a polytheism with God in the seven heavens?
2:18 Thus, you will also have an excuse in your worship
2:23 One of my arguments for devoting worship to my Lord is that He has no partner in creating it
2:30 Give me a book that came from God before this Qur’an
2:35 That whatever gods and idols you worship were created from the earth
2:40 Or that they have a partner with God in the heavens
2:44 This will be an excuse for you to worship her
2:49 Or bring me the rest of the knowledge that will lead to the knowledge of the validity of what you say about this
2:56 If you are sincere in your claim, it will have what you claim
3:01 Who is more astray than he who calls upon other than God?
3:06 Whoever does not respond to him until the Day of Resurrection
3:11 They are heedless of their supplication
3:16 What servant is more misguided than a servant who calls upon gods other than God?
3:22 His prayers are never answered
3:25 And their gods are heedless of their supplications
3:28 Because she does not hear, does not speak, or understands
3:32 And when people are gathered together, they will have enemies
3:39 And they were disbelievers in their worship
3:44 And when people gather on the Day of Resurrection
3:48 These gods that they called in this world were their enemies
3:53 Their gods, which they worshiped in this world, were ungrateful in their worship
3:59 Because they say on the Day of Resurrection
4:02 We did not command them to worship us
4:05 We disavow you of them, O our Lord
4:08 And when Our clear verses are recited to them
4:13 Those who disbelieved spoke the truth
4:16 Those who disbelieved spoke the truth
4:19 When this came to them, this is clear magic
4:26 And when our clear and luminous arguments are read to these polytheists
4:33 Those who denied the oneness of God spoke of the truth when it came to them from God
4:39 This Qur’an is a deception that deceives us
4:42 He seizes the hearts of those who hear him as an act of magic that makes clear to those who contemplate it that it is magic
4:49 Or do they say he fabricated it?
4:54 Say, “If I fabricate it, then you have nothing for me from God.”
5:00 He knows best what you are discussing. He is sufficient as a witness between me and you
5:08 He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
5:12 Or do these polytheists say they are from the Quraysh?
5:16 Muhammad fabricated this Qur’an, so you consider it a lie
5:21 Tell them, Muhammad
5:23 If you slander him and tell a lie about God
5:27 You will not be able to protect me from God's punishment if He punishes me for my slander
5:32 My Lord knows best what you say among yourselves in this Qur’an
5:37 God is sufficient as a witness against me and against what you say about your denial of me
5:43 God is Forgiving and Merciful to them by not punishing them for it after they repent from it
5:50 Say, “I am not an innovator among the messengers, and I do not know what will be done to me or to you.”
5:59 I follow only what is revealed to me, and I am only a clear warner
6:08 Say, O Muhammad, you were not the first of God’s messengers that He sent to His creation
6:15 There were many messengers before me who were sent to nations before you
6:21 I do not know what will be done to me or to you in this world
6:25 I will come out just as I brought out the prophets before me
6:29 Or I will be killed as the prophets were killed before me
6:33 A nation of liars or a nation of truthfulness?
6:37 Tell them: I do not follow in what I command you except the revelation of God
6:42 I am only a warner to you, warning you of God’s punishment
6:47 He has made clear to you a warning and made clear to you his supplication for your advice
6:53 Say: Have you seen if it is from God and you disbelieve in it?
7:01 A witness from the children of Israel testified to something similar
7:10 So he believed and you were arrogant
7:13 God does not guide unjust people
7:19 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists
7:22 Have you seen, O people, if this Qur’an was from God? He sent it down to me
7:28 And you lied to him
7:30 Abdullah bin Salam, one of the children of Israel, testified to such a Qur’an
7:36 It is the Torah
7:38 This is his testimony that Muhammad is written in the Torah that he is a prophet
7:44 The Jews find it written in the Torah
7:47 As it is written in the Qur’an that he is a prophet
7:51 Abdullah bin Salam believed
7:54 And you were too proud to believe
7:57 God does not enable the truth to reach the disbelieving people
8:02 Those who wronged themselves by disbelieving in Him
8:07 And those who disbelieve say to those who believe
8:10 If it were good, they would not have preceded us to it
8:15 And if they are not guided by it, they will say: This is an old lie
8:23 Those who denied the prophecy of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
8:29 From the Jews of the Children of Israel to those who believed in him
8:33 If your belief in Muhammad for what he brought to you were good
8:38 What you have preceded us into believing
8:41 And since they were not guided by Muhammad and what he brought from God
8:46 They will say, “This Qur’an is a lie from the old news of the ancients.”
8:52 And before him was the book of Moses as an imam and his mercy
8:59 This is a book authenticated in Arabic language to warn those who have wronged
9:12 And good news for the doers of good
9:16 Before this book is the Book of Moses, which is the Torah
9:20 An imam for the children of Israel to follow
9:24 And as a mercy to them, We sent it down to them
9:27 This Qur’an confirms the Book of Moses that Muhammad is a sent prophet
9:33 In an Arabic language, this book warns those who have wronged themselves by disbelieving in God
9:40 It is good news for those who obeyed God and did good in their faith
9:45 Those who said, “Our Lord is God,” and then remained steadfast
9:53 They have no fear, nor do they grieve
10:02 These are the companions of Paradise, abiding therein as a reward for what they did
10:17 Indeed, those who say, “Our Lord is God, besides Whom there is no god.”
10:23 Then they remained firm in their belief in that and did not confuse it with polytheism
10:28 They have no fear of the terror of the Day of Resurrection
10:32 Nor do they grieve for what they left behind after their death
10:37 Those who said this are the people of Paradise and will remain there forever
10:44 As a reward from us for their good deeds that they did in this world
10:52 We have enjoined upon man to be kind to his parents
10:58 His mother bore him unwillingly and gave birth to him unwillingly
11:04 His pregnancy and weaning are thirty months
11:09 Even when he reached his peak and reached forty years
11:15 He said, “Lord, enable me to be thankful for Your blessings that You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents.”
11:26 And to do good deeds that will please you, and to do good for my descendants
11:36 I repent to you and I am one of the Muslims
11:44 We enjoined upon the son of Adam that he be kind to his parents and that he be with them during the days of their lives
11:51 His mother carried him in her womb with difficulty and gave birth to him with difficulty
11:56 His mother carried him, weaned him from breastfeeding, and weaned him from drinking milk
12:03 Thirty months
12:05 Even when he reached his peak, which was thirty-three years
12:10 He reached forty years old when God’s proof was complete against him
12:15 He knew what was due to God from the right to honor my parents
12:19 This human being said
12:21 Lord, tempt me to thank Your blessings that You have bestowed upon me
12:25 In making Him known to You alone and acting in obedience to You
12:30 I was blessed and inspired by my father before me
12:34 Encourage me to do good deeds that please You
12:39 And set my affairs straight for me among the descendants of those whom You have given me
12:44 I repent of the sins that I committed
12:48 I am one of those who submit to you in obedience and surrender to your commands and prohibitions
12:54 Those from whom we accept the best of what they do
13:06 And we will forgive their bad deeds among the companions of Paradise
13:13 The promise of honesty they were promising
13:19 These are the ones whose best deeds in this world will be accepted from them
13:26 He will reward them with it
13:28 He forgives them for their bad deeds and does not punish them for them
13:33 We do that to them as we do to the companions and people of Paradise
13:38 God promised them this promise, there is no doubt about it
13:42 Which they were promised by God Almighty
13:47 And he said to his parents, “Do you think I should go out?”
13:56 The centuries have passed before me
14:00 They are asking God for help
14:06 Woe to you, I hope God's promise is true
14:11 God's promise is true
14:14 He says: These are nothing but legends of the ancients
14:20 Who told his parents that they called him to believe in God
14:25 Dirty for you both
14:27 Do you promise me to come out of my grave?
14:30 Centuries of nations have passed before me
14:33 They perished, but none of them were resurrected
14:36 His parents are crying out to God for him to believe in God and acknowledge the resurrection
14:42 And they say to him
14:44 Woe to you, you believed God's promise
14:47 The promise of God to His creation that He would raise them from their graves is true, beyond doubt
14:54 So the enemy of God says, answering his parents
14:58 What is this that you are telling me that I am an envoy after my death?
15:03 Except for the falsehoods written by the ancient people
15:08 Those who have the right to have a say in nations
15:16 It had been devoid of jinn and humans before them
15:24 They were losers
15:28 These are the ones who must be punished by God
15:33 In those whom God’s punishment befell from among the nations who passed before them, including the jinn and mankind
15:39 Indeed, they were the ones who were deceived by selling guidance to misguidance
15:44 And for every degree of what they did
15:51 And He will recompense them for their deeds, and they will not be wronged
15:57 And for both of these groups
16:00 Team of belief in God and the Last Day
16:04 And the team of disbelief in God and the Last Day
16:07 There will be stations and ranks with God on the Day of Resurrection based on the good and bad deeds they did in this world
16:15 And they are not all wronged
16:18 The offender is not punished except as a punishment for his sin
16:23 He does not bear the guilt of anyone else
16:26 The benefactor among them does not underestimate the reward of his benevolence
16:31 And on the Day when those who disbelieve will be exposed to the Fire, you have taken away your good deeds in your worldly life
16:43 And you enjoyed it, today you will be rewarded with a humiliating torment
16:52 Because you were arrogant on earth without right
17:03 And because you were disobedient
17:07 And the day those who disbelieved in God will be exposed to the Fire
17:12 It is said to them: You have consumed your good things in your worldly life and enjoyed them
17:19 Today, O disbelievers, you will be rewarded with the torment of humiliation that humiliates you
17:25 Because you were arrogant in this world on the face of the earth
17:29 So you refuse to worship Him sincerely
17:32 And since you were disobeying Him, you disobeyed Him
