0:05 A summary of the Tafsir of al-Tabari.
0:08 Abridged by Dr. Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammar.
0:14 Surah Hud.
0:18 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:23 “And as for those who will be glad (that day) they will be in the Garden, abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which thy Lord willeth: a gift unfailing.” (11:108)
0:29 Abiding therein.
0:31 Abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure.
0:36 Except as your Lord wills.
0:40 A gift that shall never be cut off.
0:47 As for those who are made happy by the mercy of Allah,
0:50 They shall be in Paradise, abiding therein,
0:53 As long as the heavens and the earth endure, forever,
0:56 Except for what your Lord wills regarding the duration of those who stayed in the Fire
1:00 Before they entered Paradise.
1:03 This refers to those among the believers who are brought out of the Fire
1:06 And admitted into Paradise.
1:08 A gift from Allah that shall never be cut off from them.
1:13 “So be not thou in doubt concerning that which these (folk) worship. They worship only as their fathers worshipped aforetime. Lo! we shall pay them their whole due unabated.” (11:109)
1:20 “So be not thou in doubt concerning that which these (folk) worship. They worship only as their fathers worshipped aforetime. Lo! we shall pay them their whole due unabated.” (11:109)
1:28 We shall surely pay them their portion in full, without any deduction.
1:37 Do not be in doubt, O Muhammad, regarding what these polytheists worship.
1:43 They worship nothing but what their forefathers worshipped before them,
1:48 Not by any command from Allah, nor by any proof they have discerned.
1:53 We shall surely pay them their share of what We promised them, whether of good or evil,
1:58 Without diminishing it for them.
2:00 Rather, We shall fulfill it for them completely and perfectly.
2:05 We gave Moses the Scripture, but it was differed over.
2:10 Had it not been for a word that went forth from your Lord, it would have been judged between them.
2:17 They are indeed in a disquieting doubt about it.
2:24 We gave Moses the Torah.
2:27 The people of Moses differed over that Scripture.
2:31 Some of them disbelieved in it, while others believed in it,
2:35 Just as your people have done with the Criterion (the Qur'an).
2:38 Had it not been for a word that went forth from your Lord, O Muhammad,
2:42 That punishment shall not be hastened upon His creation until the appointed term of the decree is reached,
2:48 It would have been judged between those who disbelieved in it and those who believed.
2:52 Indeed, those who disbelieve in it
2:54 Are in a doubt about its truth—that it is from Allah—which makes them uneasy.
3:00 They do not know whether it is true or false.
3:19 All of these people whom We have recounted to you, O Muhammad,
3:24 Your Lord will surely pay them in full for their deeds:
3:27 For the righteous among them, with a generous reward,
3:30 And for the wicked among them, with a severe punishment.
3:34 Your Lord is All-Aware of what these polytheists do.
3:39 Nothing of their deeds is hidden from Him, so that He may recompense them for it.
3:45 “So tread thou the straight path as thou art commanded, and those who turn (unto Allah) with thee, and transgress not. Lo! He is Seer of what ye do.” (11:112)
3:52 He is All-Seeing of what you do.
3:59 So remain steadfast, O Muhammad, upon the religion with which you were sent,
4:03 Along with those who have returned with you to the obedience of Allah.
4:07 Do not transgress His command by doing what He has forbidden you.
4:11 Your Lord, O people, is regarding all the deeds you perform,
4:16 All-Seeing, possessing knowledge of them.
4:18 Nothing of them is hidden from Him.
4:21 He is the Observer of them all.
4:25 “And incline not toward those who do wrong lest the Fire touch you, and ye have no protecting friends against Allah, and afterward ye would not be helped.” (11:113)
4:32 “And incline not toward those who do wrong lest the Fire touch you, and ye have no protecting friends against Allah, and afterward ye would not be helped.” (11:113)
4:41 “And incline not toward those who do wrong lest the Fire touch you, and ye have no protecting friends against Allah, and afterward ye would not be helped.” (11:113)
4:52 Do not incline, O people, toward the words of those who have disbelieved in Allah,
4:57 So as to accept from them and be pleased with their deeds,
5:01 For the Fire will touch you because of that action of yours.
5:04 You have no protectors besides Allah to help you.
5:08 For if you were to do that,
5:11 Allah would not help you.
5:13 Rather, He would abandon you to your own devices and empower your enemy against you.
5:53 Disobedience to Allah wipes away good deeds.
5:57 This is the warning given against inclining toward wrongdoing,
6:01 And the promise made regarding the establishment of prayers.
6:04 It is a reminder by which a people who hope for His reward and fear His punishment are reminded.
6:12 “And have patience, (O Muhammad), for lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the good.” (11:115)
6:19 Be patient, O Muhammad, regarding the harm you receive from the polytheists of your people for the sake of Allah,
6:25 For Allah does not let the reward of the deed of one who does good and obeys Allah go to waste.
6:32 “If only there had been among the generations before you men possessing a remnant (of good sense) to warn (their people) from corruption in the earth, as did a few of those whom We saved from them! The wrong-doers followed that by which they were made sapless, and were guilty.” (11:116)
6:38 “If only there had been among the generations before you men possessing a remnant (of good sense) to warn (their people) from corruption in the earth, as did a few of those whom We saved from them! The wrong-doers followed that by which they were made sapless, and were guilty.” (11:116)
6:43 Except for a few of those whom We saved among them.
6:49 “If only there had been among the generations before you men possessing a remnant (of good sense) to warn (their people) from corruption in the earth, as did a few of those whom We saved from them! The wrong-doers followed that by which they were made sapless, and were guilty.” (11:116)
6:57 Why were there not, among the generations whose stories I have recounted to you,
7:02 People of wisdom and intellect,
7:05 Who would forbid the people of sin from their sins,
7:08 And the people of disbelief in Allah from their disbelief in Him?
7:11 Except for a few.
7:13 For they used to forbid corruption on earth,
7:17 So Allah saved them from His punishment.
7:20 Those who disbelieved in Allah followed the worldly pleasures they were granted,
7:25 And they grew arrogant toward the command of Allah.
7:28 They were those who earned disbelief in Allah.
7:32 “In truth thy Lord destroyed not the townships tyrannously while their folk were doing right.” (11:117)
7:42 Your Lord, O Muhammad, would not destroy the towns whose stories He recounted to you unjustly,
7:47 While their people were righteous in their deeds and not evildoers.
7:52 It has been said:
7:54 He would not destroy them for their polytheism alone,
7:57 If their people were righteous among themselves, not wronging one another.
8:01 Rather, they would uphold justice among themselves, even if they were polytheists.
8:06 He only destroys them when they wrong one another.
8:11 “And if thy Lord had willed, He verily would have made mankind one nation, yet they cease not differing,” (11:118)
8:19 They will continue to differ.
8:25 “Save him on whom thy Lord hath mercy; and for that He did create them. And the Word of thy Lord hath been fulfilled: Verily I shall fill hell with the jinn and mankind together.” (11:119)
8:27 For that He created them.
8:30 “Save him on whom thy Lord hath mercy; and for that He did create them. And the Word of thy Lord hath been fulfilled: Verily I shall fill hell with the jinn and mankind together.” (11:119)
8:37 I will surely fill Hell with jinn and mankind all together.
8:48 Had your Lord willed, O Muhammad,
8:51 He would have made mankind one community upon one religion.
8:56 But people will continue to differ in their religions and desires,
9:01 Upon various religions, sects, and desires,
9:05 Except for those whom your Lord has shown mercy, so they believed in Allah and trusted His messengers.
9:10 They do not differ regarding the oneness of Allah,
9:13 And the confirmation of His messengers and what came to them from Allah.
9:18 And according to His knowledge that is effective upon them,
9:20 That there would be among them the believer and the disbeliever.
9:24 And for the difference between misery and happiness, He created them.
9:28 The word of your Lord was fulfilled by His prior knowledge:
9:32 "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and mankind all together."
9:38 All that We recount to you of the stories of the messengers is that by which We make your heart firm.
9:48 “And all that We relate unto thee of the story of the messengers is in order that thereby We may make firm thy heart. And herein hath come unto thee the Truth and an exhortation and a reminder for believers.” (11:120)
9:58 All that We recount to you, O Muhammad, of the stories of the messengers who were before you,
10:04 “And all that We relate unto thee of the story of the messengers is in order that thereby We may make firm thy heart. And herein hath come unto thee the Truth and an exhortation and a reminder for believers.” (11:120)
10:07 Do not despair at the rejection of your people.
10:10 The truth has come to you in this Surah,
10:14 And there has come to you an exhortation to admonish those who are ignorant of Allah,
10:17 And a reminder to remind those who believe in Allah and His messengers,
10:22 So that they do not become heedless of what is obligatory upon them toward Allah.
10:26 “And say unto those who believe not: Act according to your power. Lo! We (too) are acting.” (11:121)
10:35 And wait; we are also waiting.
10:43 Say, O Muhammad, to those who do not believe you:
10:47 "Act according to your ability, for we are acting."
10:51 We are acting upon the deeds that Allah has commanded us to do.
10:57 And wait for what the devil has promised you,
11:00 For we are waiting for what Allah has promised us of your defeat and our victory over you.
11:07 “And Allah's is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth, and unto Him the whole matter will be returned. So worship Him and put thy trust in Him. Lo! thy Lord is not unaware of what ye (mortals) do.” (11:123)
11:14 “And Allah's is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth, and unto Him the whole matter will be returned. So worship Him and put thy trust in Him. Lo! thy Lord is not unaware of what ye (mortals) do.” (11:123)
11:22 Your Lord is not unaware of what you do.
11:31 To Allah, O Muhammad, belongs the dominion of all that is hidden from you in the heavens and the earth.
11:37 All of that is in His hand and under His knowledge.
11:40 To Allah is the return of every worker and his work,
11:43 And He will judge between them with His decree.
11:46 So worship your Lord, O Muhammad, and entrust your affair to Him,
11:50 And rely upon Him and His sufficiency.
11:53 Your Lord, O Muhammad, is not heedless of what these polytheists of your people do.
11:59 Rather, He encompasses it.
