Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation | Episode (27-4) | Surah An-Naml

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-Shammari.

0:14 Surah al-Naml.

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

0:23 “And when the word is fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them because mankind had not faith in Our revelations.” (27:82)

0:33 “And when the word is fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them because mankind had not faith in Our revelations.” (27:82)

0:43 For wrath becomes due upon them when they neither enjoin the good nor forbid the evil.

0:50 We shall bring forth for them a beast from the earth, which will speak to them, telling them that mankind did not have certainty in the signs of Allah.

1:00 And the day We shall gather from every nation a host of those who denied Our signs, and they will be driven in groups.

1:18 That is, the day We assemble from every generation and religious community a group of them.

1:23 A faction of those who denied Our proofs and arguments.

1:27 They will be held back, the first of them waiting for the last, so that they may all be gathered together, then they will be driven to the Fire, being pushed along.

1:37 “Till, when they come (before their Lord), He will say: Did ye deny My revelations when ye could not compass them in knowledge, or what was it that ye did?” (27:84)

1:47 “Till, when they come (before their Lord), He will say: Did ye deny My revelations when ye could not compass them in knowledge, or what was it that ye did?” (27:84)

2:00 Until, when they arrive, from every nation a host of those who denied Our signs will have gathered.

2:07 Allah will say, "Did you deny My proofs and arguments without having truly understood them?"

2:14 "Or what was it that you used to do regarding them, in terms of denial or belief?"

2:20 “And the Word will be fulfilled concerning them because they have done wrong, and they will not speak.” (27:85)

2:28 The indignation and wrath of Allah will become due upon those who denied His signs.

2:33 Because of their denial of the signs of Allah.

2:36 On the day they are gathered.

2:38 They will not be able to utter any argument to defend themselves against the gravity of what has befallen them and the decree that has come upon them.

2:47 “Have they not seen how We have appointed the night that they may rest therein, and the day sight-giving? Lo! therein verily are portents for a people who believe.” (27:86)

2:55 Indeed, in that are signs for a people who believe.

3:04 Do these deniers of Our signs not see how We alternate the night and the day?

3:10 And how We differentiate between them, making the night a place of rest for them, where they dwell and find tranquility?

3:16 A relief for their bodies from fatigue.

3:20 And making the day luminous, so they may see things and observe them.

3:25 Moving about within it for their livelihoods.

3:28 Indeed, in Our making the night a place of rest and the day a source of light.

3:32 Is a proof for a people who believe in Allah regarding His power to bring about what they believe in: the resurrection after death.

3:40 And an argument for them regarding the oneness of Allah.

3:47 “And (remind them of) the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and the earth will start in fear, save him whom Allah willeth. And all come unto Him, humbled.” (27:87)

3:56 And all of them will come to Him in humility.

4:00 “And (remind them of) the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and the earth will start in fear, save him whom Allah willeth. And all come unto Him, humbled.” (27:87)

4:02 Then those in the heavens, the angels, will be terrified.

4:06 As will those on earth, from among the jinn, mankind, and the devils.

4:10 Because of the horror of what they witness on that day.

4:13 Except those whom Allah wills.

4:15 Those whom Allah has excepted in this instance from being struck by the terror of that day are the martyrs.

4:23 That is because they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.

4:27 And all of them will come to Him in subjection.

4:31 “And thou seest the hills thou deemest solid flying with the flight of clouds: the doing of Allah Who perfecteth all things. Lo! He is Informed of what ye do.” (27:88)

4:39 “And thou seest the hills thou deemest solid flying with the flight of clouds: the doing of Allah Who perfecteth all things. Lo! He is Informed of what ye do.” (27:88)

4:44 “And thou seest the hills thou deemest solid flying with the flight of clouds: the doing of Allah Who perfecteth all things. Lo! He is Informed of what ye do.” (27:88)

4:50 And you will see the mountains, O Muhammad, and think them to be stationary.

4:54 While they will pass away like the passing of clouds.

4:57 Because they will be gathered and then set in motion.

5:00 So the observer thinks, due to their vastness, that they are standing still.

5:04 Yet they will be moving with rapid motion.

5:07 The work of Allah, who has perfected, beautified, and made precise everything He created.

5:12 Indeed, Allah is All-Aware and fully acquainted with the good and evil that His servants do.

5:17 And He will recompense them all for that.

5:22 Whoever comes with a good deed will have better than it.

5:29 “Whoso bringeth a good deed will have better than its worth; and such are safe from fear that Day.” (27:89)

5:38 “And whoso bringeth an ill-deed, such will be flung down on their faces in the Fire. Are ye rewarded aught save what ye did?” (27:90)

5:47 “And whoso bringeth an ill-deed, such will be flung down on their faces in the Fire. Are ye rewarded aught save what ye did?” (27:90)

5:54 Whoever comes with His oneness and belief in Him.

5:58 And the declaration that there is no god but Allah.

6:00 With his heart certain of it.

6:02 He shall have, for this good deed, something better before Allah on the Day of Resurrection.

6:07 For Allah will reward him for it with Paradise.

6:10 And they will be safe from the terror of the Great Blast on that day.

6:14 But whoever comes with polytheism will have their faces cast down into the Fire of Hell.

6:20 It will be said to them:

6:21 "Are you being recompensed, O polytheists, for anything other than what you used to do in the world, which incurred the wrath of your Lord?"

6:38 O Muhammad, say, "I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city, which is Makkah."

6:52 The One who has made it sacred, forbidding His creation from shedding forbidden blood therein.

6:57 Or from wronging anyone within it.

7:00 And to the Lord of this city belongs the dominion of all things.

7:04 And I have been commanded by my Lord to submit my face to Him, inclining toward the truth.

7:08 And to be among the Muslims who followed the religion of His friend, Ibrahim.

7:15 And that I should recite the Qur'an.

7:19 So whoever is guided is only guided for his own soul.

7:25 “And to recite the Qur'an. And whoso goeth right, goeth right only for (the good of) his own soul; and as for him who goeth astray - (Unto him) say: Lo! I am only a warner.” (27:92)

7:33 And that I should recite the Qur'an.

7:35 So whoever follows me and believes in me has taken the path of right guidance.

7:39 For he is only following the path of correctness by following it.

7:44 And whoever strays from the intended path, then say, O Muhammad:

7:48 "I am only one who warns his people of the punishment of Allah and His wrath for their disobedience."

7:55 And I have warned you of that, O assembly of the disbelievers of Quraysh.

8:00 “And say: Praise be to Allah Who will show you His portents so that ye shall know them. And thy Lord is not unaware of what ye (mortals) do.” (27:93)

8:07 And your Lord is not unaware of what you do.

8:16 Say, O Muhammad, to these polytheists:

8:20 "Praise be to Allah for His favor upon us by granting us success in attaining the truth."

8:26 Your Lord will show you the signs of His punishment and wrath.

8:30 So that you may recognize through them the truth of my sincere advice to you.

8:33 And your Lord, O Muhammad, is not unaware of what these polytheists do.

8:39 But they have an appointed time which they will reach.

8:42 So do not let their denial grieve you, for I am lying in wait for them.
