0:05 Summary from the Tafsir of Al-Tabari.

0:08 Abbreviated by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari.

0:14 Surah Al-Anbiya.

0:18 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:23 “And Job, when he cried unto his Lord, (saying): Lo! adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.” (21:83)

0:27 “And Job, when he cried unto his Lord, (saying): Lo! adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.” (21:83)

0:33 “Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Our store, and a remembrance for the worshippers;” (21:84)

0:39 “Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Our store, and a remembrance for the worshippers;” (21:84)

0:47 “Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Our store, and a remembrance for the worshippers;” (21:84)

0:56 And remember Ayub, O Muhammad, when he called to his Lord.

1:00 And affliction and hardship had touched him.

1:02 So We responded to Ayub's prayer.

1:05 And We removed the affliction and hardship and distress that were upon him.

1:10 “Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Our store, and a remembrance for the worshippers;” (21:84)

1:13 Some have said that Ayub was told:

1:16 "Your family will be with you in the Hereafter."

1:19 "So if you wish, We will hasten them to you in this world."

1:22 "And if you wish, they will be with you in the Hereafter."

1:25 "And We will give you their like in this world."

1:28 Others have said:

1:30 "Rather, We returned them to him in person."

1:33 "And We gave him their like along with them."

1:35 Others have said:

1:37 "Rather, He gave him from the offspring of his wealth which We returned to him and his family."

1:42 And His saying, "a mercy," means:

1:45 "We did that to them as a mercy from Us to him."

1:49 "And a reminder to the worshippers."

1:51 "We did that to him so they would take heed from it."

1:54 "And they would know that Allah may test His saints as a trial from Him to them."

1:59 "So that he would reach, through his patience and excellent certainty,"

2:02 "the station that Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has prepared for him of honor with Him."

2:09 And Isma'il and Idris and Dhu al-Kifl.

2:13 All were among the patient.

2:18 And We admitted them into Our mercy.

2:21 Indeed, they were of the righteous.

2:27 Meaning, Allah the Exalted, refers to Isma'il, son of Ibrahim.

2:31 And Idris and Dhu al-Kifl.

2:33 And he was a man who undertook a responsibility from some people.

2:37 Either from a prophet or from a righteous king among kings.

2:41 For a deed of deeds.

2:43 And he fulfilled it after them.

2:46 And Allah praised his excellent fulfillment.

2:49 And We admitted Isma'il, Idris, and Dhu al-Kifl into Our mercy.

2:54 Indeed, they were among those who were righteous and obeyed Allah.

2:58 And Dhul-Nun, when he went off in anger.

3:02 “And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no Allah save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer.” (21:87)

3:07 And he called out in the darkness.

3:10 “And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no Allah save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer.” (21:87)

3:14 "Exalted are You."

3:17 “And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no Allah save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer.” (21:87)

3:23 "So We responded to him."

3:25 "And We saved him from distress."

3:29 "And thus do We save the believers."

3:35 "And remember, O Muhammad, the companion of the fish."

3:38 "And he is Yunus, son of Matta."

3:40 "When he left his people in anger with his Lord."

3:44 "And Yunus thought that We would not constrain him or make things difficult for him."

3:48 "As punishment for his anger with his Lord."

3:52 "And he called out in the darkness."

3:54 "Which is the darkness of the sea."

3:56 "And the darkness of the belly of the whale."

3:58 "And the third darkness, there is a difference of opinion."

4:01 "And it is permissible that it be the darkness of the night."

4:04 "And it is permissible that it be the whale being inside another whale."

4:09 "And Yunus called out with this statement."

4:12 “And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no Allah save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer.” (21:87)

4:15 “And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no Allah save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer.” (21:87)

4:19 "So We responded to Yunus's prayer."

4:21 "And We saved him from the distress he was in."

4:24 "And We saved him by confining him in the belly of the whale."

4:27 "And just as We saved Yunus from the distress of being confined in the belly of the whale,"

4:31 "thus do We save the believers from their distress."

4:35 "When they implore Us and call upon Us."

4:38 “And Zachariah, when he cried unto his Lord: My Lord! Leave me not childless, though Thou art the Best of inheritors.” (21:89)

4:42 “And Zachariah, when he cried unto his Lord: My Lord! Leave me not childless, though Thou art the Best of inheritors.” (21:89)

4:45 “And Zachariah, when he cried unto his Lord: My Lord! Leave me not childless, though Thou art the Best of inheritors.” (21:89)

4:49 "And You are the best of inheritors."

4:52 "So We responded to him and granted him Yahya."

4:56 "And We rectified for him his wife."

4:59 “Then We heard his prayer, and bestowed upon him John, and adjusted his wife (to bear a child) for him. Lo! they used to vie one with the other in good deeds, and they cried unto Us in longing and in fear, and were submissive unto Us.” (21:90)

5:03 "And they call upon Us in hope and fear."

5:08 "And they were humble to Us."

5:13 "And remember, O Muhammad, Zakariya, when he called to his Lord."

5:17 “And Zachariah, when he cried unto his Lord: My Lord! Leave me not childless, though Thou art the Best of inheritors.” (21:89)

5:19 "So grant me an heir from the family of Jacob, who will inherit me."

5:23 "And You are the best of inheritors."

5:26 "So We responded to Zakariya's prayer."

5:29 "And We rectified for him his wife."

5:31 "She was barren, and We rectified her by making her fertile and of good character."

5:37 "Indeed, Zakariya and his wife and Yahya."

5:40 "Used to race in good deeds in Our obedience."

5:44 "And they used to worship Us, desiring Allah's mercy."

5:48 "And fearing Allah's punishment."

5:50 "And they were humble and submissive to Us."

5:55 “And she who was chaste, therefor We breathed into her (something) of Our Spirit and made her and her son a token for (all) peoples.” (21:91)

6:04 "And We made her and her son a sign for the worlds."

6:11 "And remember her who guarded her chastity, so We blew into her of Our spirit."

6:15 "And it refers to Mary, daughter of Imran."

6:18 "And We made Mary and her son a lesson for the people of their time."

6:23 "They take heed from them and reflect on their affair."

6:27 "So they know Our great dominion and Our ability to do whatever We wish."

6:33 “Lo! this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.” (21:92)

6:44 "Indeed, this, your religion, is one religion."

6:47 "And I am your Lord, O people."

6:50 "So worship Me alone, and not the deities and idols and all else that you worship besides Me."

6:56 “And they have broken their religion (into fragments) among them, (yet) all are returning unto Us.” (21:93)

7:05 "And people became divided in their religion, which Allah commanded them and called them to."

7:10 "So they became factions within it."

7:13 "The Jews became Jewish, and the Christians became Christian."

7:17 "And idols were worshipped."

7:19 "Then His Exalted Majesty informed them of what they would become."

7:23 "And that the return of all people of religions is to Him."

7:27 "And that He will recompense all of them, the doer of good with his good."

7:31 "And the doer of evil with his evil."

7:35 “Then whoso doeth some good works and is a believer, there will be no rejection of his effort. Lo! We record (it) for him.” (21:94)

7:42 "So whoever among these people who became divided in their religion does righteous deeds as Allah commanded him."

7:49 "And he acknowledges Allah's oneness."

7:53 "Then Allah will be grateful for his deed which he did for Him, obeying Him."

7:58 "And We record all of his good deeds."

8:02 "And it is forbidden for a village whose people."

8:06 "And it is forbidden for a village whose people."

8:10 “And there is a ban upon any community which We have destroyed: that they shall not return.” (21:95)

8:20 "And it is forbidden for the people of a village We destroyed by sealing their hearts."

8:25 "And We sealed their hearing and their sight."

8:29 "When they turned away from Our path and disbelieved in Our signs."

8:32 "That they repent and return to belief in Us."

8:37 “Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they hasten out of every mound,” (21:96)

8:48 "Until, when Gog and Magog are released from their rampart."

8:52 "And Gog and Magog will rush from every elevated place and hill."

8:58 "Running swiftly in their course."

9:02 “And the True Promise draweth nigh; then behold them, staring wide (in terror), the eyes of those who disbelieve! (They say): Alas for us! We (lived) in forgetfulness of this. Ah, but we were wrong-doers!” (21:97)

9:09 “And the True Promise draweth nigh; then behold them, staring wide (in terror), the eyes of those who disbelieve! (They say): Alas for us! We (lived) in forgetfulness of this. Ah, but we were wrong-doers!” (21:97)

9:22 “Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they hasten out of every mound,” (21:96)

9:25 "And the promise of your Lord will draw near to His servants."

9:29 "That He will resurrect them from their graves for recompense, reward, and punishment."

9:34 "And then the eyes of those who disbelieved will be fixed, when the true promise comes with its horrors."

9:40 "And the establishment of the Hour with its realities."

9:43 "And they will say, 'Oh, woe to us! We were indeed before this time in the world."

9:49 "In heedlessness of this which we see and witness, and the great trial that has befallen us."

9:55 "We did not do for this day what would save us from its hardships."

10:00 "Rather, we were wrongdoers by our disobedience to our Lord and our obedience to Iblis and his forces."

10:07 “Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are fuel of hell. Thereunto ye will come.” (21:98)

10:15 “Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are fuel of hell. Thereunto ye will come.” (21:98)

10:23 "Indeed, you, O polytheists who associate partners with Allah."

10:26 "Hellfire will be thrown upon you, and you will be cast into it."

10:30 "You are entering it, O people."

10:34 “If these had been gods they would not have come thither, but all will abide therein.” (21:99)

10:41 "And all will abide therein eternally."

10:45 “Therein wailing is their portion, and therein they hear not.” (21:100)

10:54 "If what you worship besides Allah were deities, they would not have entered Hellfire."

11:00 "Rather, they would have prevented anyone who intended to bring you to it."

11:04 "When you were worshippers of them in this world."

11:07 "And both the deities and those who worshipped them."

11:10 "Will remain in the Fire eternally, without end."

11:14 "For the polytheists and their deities, there will be a roaring in Hell."

11:18 "And they will not hear in the Fire."

11:22 "Indeed, those for whom good has preceded from Us."

11:28 "Those will be kept far from it."

11:33 "As if the polytheists said when Allah said:"

11:36 "'Indeed, you and what you worship besides Allah are fuel for Hell.'"

11:41 "'Is the matter as you say?'"

11:43 "'For we worship the angels.'"

11:46 "'And others worship the Messiah and Ezra.'"

11:49 "So Allah said in response to them:"

11:52 "'Rather, it is so.'"

11:53 "And it is not those for whom good has preceded from Us."

11:57 "Who will be kept far from it."

11:59 "Because they are not included."

12:03 "They will not hear its sound."

12:07 "And they will abide eternally in whatever their souls desire."

12:13 “The Supreme Horror will not grieve them, and the angels will welcome them, (saying): This is your Day which ye were promised;” (21:103)

12:16 "And the angels will receive them."

12:20 "And the angels will receive them."

12:24 “The Supreme Horror will not grieve them, and the angels will welcome them, (saying): This is your Day which ye were promised;” (21:103)

12:31 "These, for whom good has preceded from Us, will not hear the sound of the Fire."

12:37 "And they will abide eternally in what their souls desire of the delights and pleasures of Paradise."

12:43 "The final trumpet blast will not grieve them."

12:46 "And the angels will greet them, saying:"

12:51 “The Supreme Horror will not grieve them, and the angels will welcome them, (saying): This is your Day which ye were promised;” (21:103)

12:54 "Therein is honor from Allah and abundant reward."

12:58 "For what you used to endure in this world for Allah's sake in His obedience."

13:04 "On the Day We will fold the heaven like the folding of a record for the writings."

13:10 “The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder rolleth up a written scroll. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon Us. Lo! We are to perform it.” (21:104)

13:15 “The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder rolleth up a written scroll. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon Us. Lo! We are to perform it.” (21:104)

13:24 "On the Day We will fold the heaven as a scroll is folded with what is in it of writing."

13:29 "We will restore creation, naked, barefoot, and uncircumcised on the Day of Resurrection."

13:34 "As We began the first creation, in the state We created them in their mothers' wombs."

13:40 "This is a promise We have made to you."

13:43 "It is incumbent upon Us to fulfill what We have promised."

13:46 "Indeed, We were to do what We promised you, O people."

13:52 “And verily we have written in the Scripture, after the Reminder: My righteous slaves will inherit the earth:” (21:105)

14:04 "And We had already written in the Psalms after the Preserved Tablet."

14:08 "Which Allah wrote everything that will occur before the creation of the heavens and the earth."

14:14 "That the land of Paradise will be inherited by My servants who work in obedience to Me."

14:19 "Who submit to My command and prohibition among My servants."

14:37 "Indeed, in this Qur'an which We have revealed to Our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."

14:44 "Is a sufficient message for whoever worships Allah with the obligations Allah has ordained therein, leading to His pleasure, for a people who act."

14:52 "And We have not sent you, O Muhammad, to Our creation except as a mercy to those to whom We have sent you."

14:58 "Which is that Allah sent His Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as a mercy to all worlds."

15:06 "As for their believers, Allah guided them through him to Paradise."

15:11 "And as for their disbelievers, He averted from them the immediate affliction."

15:16 "Which used to descend upon nations that disbelieved their messengers before them."

15:22 “Say: It is only inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah. Will ye then surrender (unto Him)?” (21:108)

15:36 "Say, O Muhammad, 'I am only inspired that your Lord is no god but one God.'"

15:45 "Worship is only due to Him."

15:48 "So will you be submitting to Him, O polytheists who worship idols?"

15:53 "And disavowing yourselves from the worship of your deities besides Him?"

15:59 “But if they are averse, then say: I have warned you all alike, although I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised.” (21:109)

16:06 “But if they are averse, then say: I have warned you all alike, although I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised.” (21:109)

16:14 "So if these polytheists turn away, O Muhammad, from acknowledging faith."

16:20 "Then inform them that you and they are aware that some of you are enemies to some of you."

16:25 "There is no peace between you and no truce."

16:28 "And say, 'I do not know when the time will come that the punishment of Allah, which He promised you, will befall you.'"

16:33 "And He will take vengeance upon you with it."

16:36 "Is its descent upon you near or far?"

16:40 “Lo! He knoweth that which is said openly, and that which ye conceal.” (21:110)

16:48 “And I know not but that this may be a trial for you, and enjoyment for a while.” (21:111)

16:58 "Indeed, Allah knows what is declared of speech."

17:02 "And He knows what they conceal."

17:05 "Nothing is hidden from Him."

17:08 "So if He delays His punishment from you for what you conceal of associating partners with Him or declare openly."

17:14 "Then I do not know the reason for which He delays that from you."

17:19 "Perhaps His delay of that from you, along with His promise to you."

17:23 "Is a trial He intends for you."

17:25 "And that you may enjoy yourselves in your lives until an appointed term that He has set for you, which you will reach."

17:31 "Then He will descend upon you His vengeance at that time."

17:36 “He saith: My Lord! Judge Thou with truth. Our Lord is the Beneficent, Whose help is to be implored against that which ye ascribe (unto Him).” (21:112)

17:40 “He saith: My Lord! Judge Thou with truth. Our Lord is the Beneficent, Whose help is to be implored against that which ye ascribe (unto Him).” (21:112)

17:49 "Say, O Muhammad."

17:51 "'O Lord, decide between me and those who have denied me among the polytheists of my people.'"

17:56 "'By bringing down Your punishment and Your vengeance upon them.'"

17:59 "And that is the truth which Allah the Exalted commanded His Prophet to ask his Lord for judgment."

18:05 "And say, O Muhammad."

18:07 "'Our Lord, who is merciful to His servants.'"

18:10 "'I seek His help against you in what you say and describe of your words to me regarding what I have brought you from Allah.'"
