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-Nahl.
0:18 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:23 “On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, and every soul will be repaid what it did, and they will not be wronged.” (16:111)
0:30 “On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, and every soul will be repaid what it did, and they will not be wronged.” (16:111)
0:42 Indeed, your Lord, after that, is Forgiving and Merciful on the day when every soul will come, pleading for itself.
0:49 It will argue on its own behalf, presenting the good or evil it committed in the world.
0:54 Every soul will be fully compensated for what it did in the world, whether of obedience or disobedience.
0:59 Nothing will be done to them except what they deserve for the good or evil they sent forth.
1:07 “Allah coineth a similitude: a township that dwelt secure and well content, its provision coming to it in abundance from every side, but it disbelieved in Allah's favours, so Allah made it experience the garb of dearth and fear because of what they used to do.” (16:112)
1:22 “Allah coineth a similitude: a township that dwelt secure and well content, its provision coming to it in abundance from every side, but it disbelieved in Allah's favours, so Allah made it experience the garb of dearth and fear because of what they used to do.” (16:112)
1:48 Allah sets forth a parable of Mecca, whose inhabitants were people who associated partners with Allah.
1:54 It was a city that was secure, where its people were not raided.
1:59 It was stable for its inhabitants, who had no need to migrate in search of sustenance.
2:05 Its people received their provisions in abundance from every direction.
2:11 Yet, the people of this city denied the favors of Allah that He had bestowed upon them.
2:17 So Allah made them taste the garment of hunger.
2:21 This was a hunger whose affliction permeated their bodies like a garment.
2:27 And He made them taste fear from the raiding parties of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, which surrounded them.
2:34 This was because of what they used to do in denying the favors of Allah.
2:38 They rejected His signs and denied His Messenger.
2:43 “And verily there had come unto them a messenger from among them, but they had denied him, and so the torment seized them while they were wrong-doers.” (16:113)
2:58 A Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had indeed come to the people of this city from among themselves, and they knew him.
3:06 Yet they denied him and did not accept what he brought them from Allah.
3:11 So the punishment of hunger and fear seized them while they were polytheists.
3:18 “So eat of the lawful and good food which Allah hath provided for you, and thank the bounty of your Lord if it is Him ye serve.” (16:114)
3:38 So eat, O people, of the lawful and good livestock that Allah has provided for you.
3:45 And be grateful to Allah for the blessings He has bestowed upon you by permitting what He has made lawful for you.
3:52 And for His other blessings, if you truly worship Allah by obeying Him in what He commands and forbids you.
4:15 “He hath forbidden for you only carrion and blood and swineflesh and that which hath been immolated in the name of any other than Allah; but he who is driven thereto, neither craving nor transgressing, lo! then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (16:115)
4:27 Allah has only forbidden you, O people, the dead animal, blood, and the flesh of swine.
4:34 And what has been slaughtered for idols, having been dedicated to other than Allah.
4:39 But whoever is forced by necessity to consume any of it, without being rebellious or transgressing, then he has not sinned.
4:47 For Allah is Forgiving, in that He does not hold him accountable for consuming it in a state of necessity, and Merciful, in that He does not punish him for it.
5:09 “And speak not, concerning that which your own tongues qualify (as clean or unclean), the falsehood: "This is lawful, and this is forbidden," so that ye invent a lie against Allah. Lo! those who invent a lie against Allah will not succeed.” (16:116)
5:21 “A brief enjoyment (will be theirs); and theirs a painful doom.” (16:117)
5:31 And do not say, out of your own lying tongues, regarding what Allah has provided for His servants of food:
5:37 "This is lawful and this is forbidden," so that you may fabricate lies against Allah.
5:45 Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah and invent falsehoods will not prosper in this world, nor will they remain in it.
5:54 They only enjoy it for a little while, then to Us is their return and destination, and for their lies, they shall have a painful punishment.
6:05 “And unto those who are Jews We have forbidden that which We have already related unto thee. And We wronged them not, but they were wont to wrong themselves.” (16:118)
6:23 And We forbade, before you, O Muhammad, to the Jews everything that had claws.
6:28 “Unto those who are Jews We forbade every animal with claws. And of the oxen and the sheep forbade We unto them the fat thereof save that upon the backs or the entrails, or that which is mixed with the bone. That we awarded them for their rebellion. And lo! we verily are truthful.” (6:146)
6:38 We did not wrong them by forbidding that to them, but they used to wrong themselves by disobeying Allah, which brought upon them the punishment of Allah.
7:00 “Then lo! thy Lord - for those who do evil in ignorance and afterward repent and amend - lo! (for them) thy Lord is afterward indeed Forgiving, Merciful.” (16:119)
7:21 Indeed, your Lord, for those who disobeyed Allah and acted in ignorance by committing acts of disobedience, then returned to the obedience of Allah and felt remorse for it—
7:31 After having committed what they did of disobedience—indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, after their repentance, is Forgiving and Merciful.
7:51 And he was a Hanif (inclined to monotheism), and he was not of the polytheists, but grateful for His favors; Allah chose him and guided him to a straight path.
8:22 He did not associate anything with Allah, and he was sincere in his gratitude to Allah for what He bestowed upon him; He chose him, selected him for His close friendship, and guided him to the straight path.
8:36 “And We gave him good in the world, and in the Hereafter he is among the righteous.” (16:122)
8:49 And We gave Ibrahim, because of his devotion to Allah and his gratitude for His favors, a good and lasting reputation throughout the ages.
8:58 And in the Hereafter, on the Day of Resurrection, he will surely be among those whose affairs and status are righteous before Allah.
9:07 “And afterward We inspired thee (Muhammad, saying): Follow the religion of Abraham, as one by nature upright. He was not of the idolaters.” (16:123)
9:21 Then We revealed to you, O Muhammad, and said to you: Follow the religion of Ibrahim, the monotheistic and submissive, being a Muslim upon the faith that Ibrahim was upon.
9:33 Free from the idols and rivals that your people worship, just as Ibrahim had dissociated himself from them.
9:42 “The Sabbath was appointed only for those who differed concerning it, and lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.” (16:124)
10:01 Allah did not impose the sanctification of the Sabbath, O people, except upon those who differed concerning it, for some of them said:
10:09 "It is the greatest of days because Allah finished the creation of things on Friday, then rested on the Sabbath."
10:18 Others said, "Rather, the greatest of days is Sunday, because it is the day on which the creation of things began," so they chose it.
10:28 And they abandoned the sanctification of Friday, which Allah had commanded them to observe, and they made it lawful.
10:35 And your Lord, O Muhammad, will judge between those who differed regarding the making lawful or forbidden of the Sabbath when they return to Him on the Day of Resurrection.
10:46 He will judge between them regarding that and other matters in which they used to differ, with truth and justice.
11:06 Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of the guided.
11:36 And argue with them in the way that is best, which is to overlook the harm they have inflicted upon your honor.
11:45 Indeed, your Lord, O Muhammad, is most knowing of who has deviated from the intended path, and He is most knowing of those among them who are following the intended path and the way of truth.
11:56 And He will recompense them all according to their deeds when they arrive before Him.
12:08 And if you punish, O believers, those who have wronged you and transgressed against you, then punish them with the like of the punishment they inflicted upon you.
12:17 But if you are patient and refrain from punishing them, seeking reward from Allah for the injustice you suffered, until He is the One who takes charge of their punishment—
12:27 Then patience, in refraining from punishing them while seeking the reward of Allah, is better for those who are patient.
12:36 “Endure thou patiently (O Muhammad). Thine endurance is only by (the help of) Allah. Grieve not for them, and be not in distress because of that which they devise.” (16:127)
12:46 And be patient, O Muhammad, over the harm that has befallen you for the sake of Allah, and your patience is only through the help and success granted by Allah.
12:55 And do not grieve over these polytheists who deny you.
13:00 And do not let your chest be constricted by the schemes they devise.
13:05 And do not let your chest be constricted by the schemes they devise.
13:09 And do not grieve over these polytheists who deny you.
13:14 And do not let your chest be constricted by the schemes they devise to turn those who wish to believe in you away from the path of Allah.
13:21 And from believing in what Allah has revealed to you.
13:26 “Lo! Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him and those who are doers of good.” (16:128)
13:36 Indeed, Allah, O Muhammad, is with those who fear Allah regarding His prohibitions and avoid them.
13:42 And who fear His punishment for them.
13:44 And He is with those who excel in observing His obligations and fulfilling His rights.
13:50 And who adhere to His obedience in what He has commanded them and forbidden them.
