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 Qaf.

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

0:23 His companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he was in deep error."

0:35 The companion of this disbelieving human is the devil who was assigned to him in this worldly life.

0:43 [The devil will say], "Our Lord, I did not make him a tyrant, nor did I lead him to what was not for him."

0:48 "Rather, he was far astray from the path of guidance."

0:55 “He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning.” (50:28)

1:03 “The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves.” (50:29)

1:12 Allah will say to these polytheists, "Do not dispute before Me today."

1:17 "For I had already warned you in the worldly life before this dispute of yours."

1:22 "With the threat of punishment for whoever disbelieved in Me, disobeyed Me, and opposed My command and prohibition."

1:27 "The word that I spoke to you in the worldly life shall not be changed."

1:31 “And if We had so willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me concerning evildoers took effect: that I will fill hell with the jinn and mankind together.” (32:13)

1:37 "Nor am I one to punish any of My creation for the crime of another."

1:43 “On the day when We say unto hell: Art thou filled? and it saith: Can there be more to come?” (50:30)

1:52 “The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves.” (50:29)

1:55 The day We say to Hell, "Are you full?"—and that is on the Day of Resurrection.

2:00 Because of His prior promise that He would fill it with jinn and mankind together.

2:06 “On the day when We say unto hell: Art thou filled? and it saith: Can there be more to come?” (50:30)

2:09 Until Allah places His foot upon it.

2:14 “And the Garden is brought nigh for those who kept from evil, no longer distant.” (50:31)

2:21 “(And it is said): This is that which ye were promised. (It is) for every penitent and heedful one,” (50:32)

2:26 “Who feareth the Beneficent in secret and cometh with a contrite heart.” (50:33)

2:36 Paradise will be brought near for those who feared their Lord.

2:41 This is what you were promised, O righteous ones.

2:44 For everyone who returns from disobedience to Allah to His obedience.

2:48 Repentant for his sins.

2:50 Mindful of all the obligatory duties and acts of worship that brought him closer to his Lord.

2:55 And mindful of the sins he committed in the past, seeking repentance for them.

2:59 Whoever feared Allah in the worldly life before meeting Him.

3:03 And came to Allah with a heart repentant for his sins.

3:08 "Enter it in peace."

3:12 That is the day of eternity.

3:16 “There they have all that they desire, and there is more with Us.” (50:35)

3:25 Enter this Paradise in safety from anxiety, anger, and torment.

3:30 This is what I have described to you, O people.

3:33 It is the day people enter Paradise.

3:36 Remaining therein forever.

3:39 For these righteous ones is whatever they desire in this Paradise.

3:44 And We have more for them, which We shall increase for them.

3:48 It has been said that the "more" refers to looking upon Allah.

3:53 “And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came)?” (50:36)

4:00 “And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came)?” (50:36)

4:09 How many generations before these polytheists of Quraysh have We destroyed?

4:14 They were mightier in power than Quraysh.

4:17 They traversed the lands, traveling through them.

4:20 They roamed and penetrated to the furthest reaches of them.

4:23 Did they find any escape from destruction when Our command came to them?

4:42 Indeed, in Our destruction of the generations before Quraysh.

4:46 There is a reminder for whoever possesses a heart.

4:48 So he desists from the deeds they used to commit, such as disbelieving in their Lord.

4:54 Or he who listens to Our account of these generations We destroyed with his ears.

4:59 So he hears the news about them.

5:01 How We dealt with them when they disbelieved in their Lord.

5:05 While he is understanding of what is being told to him about them.

5:09 Witnessing it with his heart.

5:11 Neither heedless of it nor distracted.

5:19 And what is between them in six days.

5:23 “And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us.” (50:38)

5:31 We created the seven heavens and the earth and all the creatures between them in six days.

5:38 And no weariness touched Us.

5:41 So be patient over what they say, and exalt with the praise of your Lord.

5:46 “Therefor (O Muhammad) bear with what they say, and hymn the praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun;” (50:39)

5:54 “And in the night-time hymn His praise, and after the (prescribed) prostrations.” (50:40)

6:00 So be patient, O Muhammad, over what these Jews say.

6:04 And what they fabricate against Allah.

6:06 And perform the morning prayer with the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun.

6:11 And the afternoon prayer before sunset.

6:13 And during the night, exalt Him—this refers to the night prayer.

6:17 And exalt Him with the praise of your Lord after the prostrations of your prayer.

6:22 The scholars of Tafsir differed regarding the meaning of this "exaltation."

6:25 Some said it refers to the two rak'ahs after the Maghrib prayer.

6:28 Others said it refers to the glorification after the obligatory prayers.

6:32 Others said it refers to the voluntary prayers following the obligatory ones.

6:35 This is the view of Ibn Zayd.

6:38 The most correct of these views is the opinion of those who said:

6:41 It refers to the two rak'ahs after the Maghrib prayer.

6:44 Due to the consensus of the authorities among the scholars of Tafsir.

6:47 And were it not for what I mentioned regarding their consensus on it.

6:50 I would have held that the correct view is what Ibn Zayd said.

6:55 And listen for the day when the Caller calls from a near place.

7:02 “The day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth (from the graves).” (50:42)

7:06 That is the day of emergence.

7:11 And listen, O Muhammad, for the cry of the Day of Resurrection.

7:14 The day our Caller calls out from a near place.

7:19 The day the creatures hear the cry of resurrection from the graves.

7:23 With the command to respond to Allah for the place of reckoning.

7:27 That is the day the people of the graves emerge from their graves.

7:43 Indeed, it is We who give life to the dead and cause the living to die.

7:47 And to Us is the final destination of them all on the Day of Resurrection.

7:51 The day the earth splits open for them, and they emerge from it quickly.

7:55 Gathering them all to Us is easy and simple.

7:59 We are most knowing of what they say.

8:03 And you are not over them a tyrant.

8:10 “We are Best Aware of what they say, and thou (O Muhammad) art in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur'an him who feareth My threat.” (50:45)

8:16 “We are Best Aware of what they say, and thou (O Muhammad) art in no wise a compeller over them. But warn by the Qur'an him who feareth My threat.” (50:45)

8:23 We, O Muhammad, are most knowing of what these polytheists say in their fabrication against Allah.

8:30 And you are not a tyrant over them to compel or force them.

8:34 So remind, O Muhammad, by this Qur'an which I have revealed to you.

8:38 Whoever fears the threat I have promised to those who disobey Me and oppose My command.
