Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
0:08
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
0:14
Surah Al-Jinn
0:18
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:22
Say: It was revealed to me that a group of jinn listened and said
0:32
They said, “We have heard a wondrous Qur’an.”
0:38
It guides us to maturity, so we believe in Him
0:43
We will not associate anyone with our Lord
0:48
Say, Muhammad
0:50
God revealed to me that a group of jinn listened to this Qur’an
0:55
They told their people what they heard
0:58
We have heard a wondrous Qur’an
1:01
It indicates the truth and the right path
1:04
So we believed him
1:06
We will not associate with our Lord any of His creation
1:11
And He, the Almighty, is the grandfather of our Lord. He did not take a wife or a son
1:19
And that our fool used to speak ill of God about God
1:25
And we thought that mankind and jinn would not say a lie about God
1:37
And the greatness, power, and authority of our Lord were exalted, and He did not take a wife or a son
1:45
And that Satan used to say something that was exaggerated and a violation of God
1:51
And we thought that the son of Adam and the jinn would not say anything false about God
1:57
Rather, he denied these groups of jinn
2:00
That you knew that someone would dare to lie to God when you heard the Qur’an
2:08
Because before they heard it
2:10
They thought that Satan was truthful in the types of disbelief he called the sons of Adam to
2:17
When they heard the Qur’an
2:19
They realized that he was lying about all of this
2:23
That's why they called him a fool
2:26
And that there were men from mankind seeking refuge with men from among the jinn, so they increased their burden
2:43
And they thought, as you thought, that God would not send anyone
2:53
And that men from humanity used to seek protection from men from among the jinn during their travels when they stayed at their homes
3:01
So the humans increased the sin of the jinn by doing that
3:05
This is because they made it permissible for God’s prohibitions
3:10
And the men thought of the jinn as men thought of the humans
3:15
God will not send a messenger to His creation calling them to His monotheism
3:40
As we listen now, he finds a meteor being observed
3:46
And we do not know what evil is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends for them guidance
3:57
And we sought the sky and its pillars
4:00
We found it filled with guards and meteors with which the devils were stoned
4:06
And we were a group of jinn
4:08
We sit in the sky and listen to what is happening and happening in it
4:14
Whoever listens to it now will find that a shooting star has been spotted for him
4:21
And we do not know the punishment that God wanted to inflict on the people of the earth
4:26
By preventing us from hearing from the sky and stoning those of us who listened there with meteors
4:32
Or did their Lord intend guidance for them by sending among them a messenger and guide who would guide them to the truth?
5:02
And we will defeat God on earth, and we will not defeat Him in flight
5:08
And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it
5:15
Whoever believes in his Lord does not fear meanness or oppression
5:25
Among us are Muslims who work in obedience to God, and some of us are among the righteous
5:31
We were different passions and different teams
5:35
Among us is the believer and the unbeliever
5:38
And to teach us that we will not fail God on earth if He intends evil for us
5:43
And when we heard the Qur’an, with which God guided us to the straight path
5:49
We believed in it and acknowledged that it was a truth from God
5:54
Whoever believes in his Lord does not fear that his good deeds will be diminished and he will not be rewarded for them
6:01
There is no sin imposed on him from the bad deeds of others or the bad deeds he did not do
6:09
And that among us are Muslims and among us are unjust
6:17
Whoever converts to Islam, those will seek righteousness
6:23
As for the unjust people, they are firewood for Hell
6:31
We are Muslims who have submitted to God through obedience
6:36
Among us are those who deviate from Islam and turn away from the right path
6:40
Whoever converts to Islam and submits to God in obedience
6:44
Those were baptized and sought guidance in their religion
6:48
As for those who deviate from Islam, they are firewood for Hell
6:55
And if they had remained steadfast in the way, We would have given them abundant water to give them a test in it
7:08
And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will be subjected to a severe punishment
7:17
If only these unjust people would adhere to the path of truth and uprightness
7:23
We have provided them abundantly in sustenance and extended for them the world so that we may test them in it
7:29
Whoever turns away from listening to the Qur’an and using it, God will subject him to a severe and arduous punishment
7:46
And the mosques belong to God, so do not, O people, call upon anyone with God and do not associate anything with Him
7:54
But devote monotheism to Him and devote worship to Him sincerely
7:59
And when Abdullah rose up to call him, they were almost upon him
8:09
Say, “I only call upon my Lord and do not associate anyone with Him.”
8:15
Say, “I have no power for you to harm or guide you.”
8:22
Say that no one will protect me from God
8:33
I will not find anyone without him
8:39
And when Muhammad, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, rose, he said, “There is no god but God.”
8:48
The Arabs were almost all against each other in extinguishing the light of God
8:55
And when Abdullah rose up to call him, they attacked him
9:00
He said to them: I only pray to my Lord and do not associate anyone with Him
9:06
Say, O Muhammad, to the Arab polytheists who responded to you with the advice you gave them
9:13
I do not have the power to harm you in your religion or in your world, nor do I have any right to guide you
9:20
Because the one who owns that is God, who has ownership of everything
9:26
Tell them, O Muhammad, that no one of His creation will prevent me from God if He wants something from me
9:34
And Nasser will not help me from him
9:38
Except a message from God and His messages
9:43
And whoever disobeys God and His Messenger - for him will be the fire of Hell, to abide therein forever
9:58
Even when they see what they are promised, they will know who is the weakest helper and least in number
10:09
Tell the Arab polytheists, “I do not possess the power to harm or guide you.”
10:14
Unless I inform you of what God has commanded me to convey to you
10:19
Otherwise, his letters with which he sent me to you
10:24
As for maturity and abandonment, it is in the hands of God
10:27
He is the owner of that, not the rest of His creation
10:31
He guides whomever He wants and abandons whomever He wants
10:34
Whoever disobeys God in what He commands and prohibits
10:38
So his Messenger lied about him and denied his message
10:41
For he has the fire of Hell, which he will pray for
10:45
They will remain in it forever and ever
10:49
Even when they witness what their Lord promises them of torment and the Day of Judgment
10:54
They will know who is the weakest helper and least in number
10:58
I enlist God whom I associate with, or those who associate others with Him
11:05
Say: I know what is closest to what you are promised
11:09
Or will my Lord grant him a period of time?
11:13
He knows the unseen, and His unseen is not revealed to anyone
11:19
Except for him who is pleased with a Messenger, for he will walk from before him
11:32
And behind him, he was watching
11:36
Say, O Muhammad, to her are the polytheists of God among your people
11:41
I do not know what is closest to what your Lord promises you of torment and the Day of Judgment
11:46
Or will my Lord give him a known purpose whose duration will be long?
11:52
A world that has escaped the sight of His creation and they have not seen it
11:56
He does not reveal his secret to anyone and teach him or show it to him
12:01
Except for whomever he is pleased with from a messenger, then he makes him appear as he wishes of that
12:07
He sends guards and guards in front of him and behind him to protect him
12:15
So that he might know that they had conveyed the messages of their Lord, and He encompassed what they had and counted everything in number
12:31
So that the Messenger may know that the Messengers before him had conveyed the messages of their Lord
12:38
He knew everything they had and knew the number of all things, and nothing of them was hidden from him
