Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation | Episode (13-1) | Surat Al-Raad

0:00 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:05 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.

0:08 Abridged by Dr. Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammar.

0:12 Surah al-Ra'd.

0:19 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:23 Alif-Lam-Mim-Ra. These are the verses of the Book.

0:37 “Alif. Lam. Mim. Ra. These are verses of the Scripture. That which is revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, but most of mankind believe not.” (13:1)

0:42 Yet most people do not believe.

0:48 Alif-Lam-Mim-Ra.

0:52 These are the verses whose accounts I have related to you.

0:55 They are the verses of the Book that I revealed before this one.

1:00 And the Qur'an which has been revealed to you from your Lord.

1:03 That is the truth.

1:05 So act in accordance with what it contains.

1:07 Yet most people do not believe in the truth that has been revealed to you.

1:12 Nor do they acknowledge this Qur'an and what it contains.

1:16 “Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.” (13:2)

1:25 Then He rose over the Throne.

1:29 And He subjected the sun and the moon.

1:32 Each runs its course for a specified term.

1:38 “Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.” (13:2)

1:42 “Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.” (13:2)

1:51 Allah, O Muhammad.

1:53 It is He who raised the seven heavens without pillars that you can see.

1:58 Then He rose over the Throne.

2:00 And He set the sun and the moon in motion in the sky.

2:03 He subjected them therein for the benefit of His creation.

2:07 All of this runs in the sky until a known time.

2:10 Which is the end of this world.

2:13 Allah decrees all matters of this world and the Hereafter.

2:17 And He manages all of that alone.

2:20 Your Lord explains the verses of His Book to you.

2:23 So that you may be certain of the meeting with Allah and the return to Him.

2:27 And so that you may devote your worship sincerely to Him.

2:31 “And He it is Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm hills and flowing streams, and of all fruits He placed therein two spouses (male and female). He covereth the night with the day. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought.” (13:3)

2:37 “And He it is Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm hills and flowing streams, and of all fruits He placed therein two spouses (male and female). He covereth the night with the day. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought.” (13:3)

2:45 He covers the day with the night in that process.

2:52 These are signs for a people who reflect.

2:59 And it is Allah who spread out the earth.

3:01 He extended it in length and breadth.

3:04 And He placed firm mountains upon the earth.

3:07 And He placed rivers within it.

3:10 And He placed therein two kinds of every fruit.

3:14 He covers the day with the night, clothing it in its darkness.

3:18 And He covers the night with the day by its light.

3:21 Indeed, in what I have described of the wonders of Allah’s creation.

3:24 There are proofs and arguments for a people who reflect upon them.

3:29 So they know that worship is not fitting except for the One who created and managed them, to the exclusion of any other.

3:36 “And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are watered with one water. And we have made some of them to excel others in fruit. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense.” (13:4)

3:47 “And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are watered with one water. And we have made some of them to excel others in fruit. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense.” (13:4)

3:58 “And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are watered with one water. And we have made some of them to excel others in fruit. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense.” (13:4)

4:11 “And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are watered with one water. And we have made some of them to excel others in fruit. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense.” (13:4)

4:17 Indeed, in that are signs for a people who use their reason.

4:26 And on the earth are neighboring tracts of land.

4:31 They differ in quality despite their proximity and closeness to one another.

4:37 Among them is a barren patch that produces nothing.

4:41 Adjacent to a fertile patch that produces and is beneficial.

4:46 And on the earth are gardens of grapevines and crops.

4:49 And palm trees, some growing from a single trunk and others separate.

4:55 They are irrigated with the same water, which is fresh rather than salty.

4:59 Yet Allah makes their tastes differ.

5:03 He favors some over others in taste.

5:06 Thus, one is sweet and another is sour.

5:09 Indeed, in the variation of these adjacent tracts of land and the fruits of their gardens.

5:16 There is a clear proof for a people who understand this diversity.

5:20 And that the One who caused this variation.

5:23 Is the same One who differentiates among His creation in what He has apportioned to them of guidance and misguidance.
