00:00:00 --> 00:00:07
			Salam aleikum. This is the Quran,
a new translation by M A. S Abdul
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Halim me
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			this begins just number 13
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
			I do not pretend to be blameless
for man's very soul incites him to
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			evil unless my Lord shows mercy.
He is most forgiving, Most
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:36
			Merciful. The king said, Bring him
to me, I will have him serve me
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:41
			personally. And then, once he had
spoken with him, from now on, you
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			will have our trust and favor.
Joseph said,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			put me in charge of the nation
store houses, I shall manage them
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			prudently and carefully.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			In this way, we settled Joseph in
that land to live wherever he
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			wished.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			We grant our grace to whoever we
will, and do not fail to reward
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			those who do good.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			The reward of the Hereafter is
best for those who believe in our
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			mindful of God. Joseph's brothers
came and presented themselves
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17
			before him. He recognized them,
though they did not recognize him.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			And once he had given them their
provisions, he said, Bring me the
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			brother, you left with your
father. Have you not seen me
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			giving generous measure and being
the best of hosts, you will have
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			no more corn from me, if you do
not bring him to me, and you will
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			not be permitted to approach me.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44
			They said, We shall do all we can
to persuade his father to send him
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
			with us. Indeed we shall. Joseph
said to his servants, put their
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			traded goods back into their
saddlebags. So that they may
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			appreciate this, when they go back
to their family and be eager to
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			return.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			When they return to their father,
they said, Father, we have been
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			denied any more corn, but send our
brother back with us and we shall
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			be given another measure.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			We shall guard him carefully. He
said,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:22
			Am I to entrust him to you as I
did his brother before, but God is
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:27
			the best Guardian and The Most
Merciful of the Merciful. Then,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			when they opened their packs, they
discovered that their goods had
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			been returned to them. And they
said, Father, we need no more
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:42
			goods to barter. Look, our goods
have been returned to us. We shall
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			get corn for our household, we
shall keep our brothers safe, we
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			shall be entitled to another camel
load of grain, an extra measure,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			so easily achieved. He said,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			I will never send him back with
you.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			Not unless you swear by God, that
you will bring him back to me if
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			this is humanly possible.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:09
			Then, when they had given him
their pledge, he said, our words
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:16
			are entrusted to God. He said, My
sons do not enter all by one gate,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:21
			use different gates. But I cannot
help you against the will of God.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			All power is in God's hands. I
trust in Him, let everyone put
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			their trust in Him.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:34
			And when they entered as their
father had told them, it did not
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			help them against the will of God.
It merely satisfied a wish of
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			Jacobs. He knew well, what we had
taught him, though most people do
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			not.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:49
			Then when they presented
themselves before Joseph, he drew
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			his brothers apart and said,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:57
			I am your brother. So do not be
saddened by their past actions.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			And once he had given them their
provisions, he placed the drinking
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			cup in his brother's pack.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			A man called out
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:11
			people of the caravan you are
thieves. And they turned and said,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			What have you lost? They replied,
The King's drinking cup is
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			missing. And whoever returns it
will get a camel load of grain.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:28
			And I give you my word. They said
by God, you must know that we did
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:33
			not come to make mischief in your
land. We are no thieves. They ask
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:38
			them and if we find that you are
lying, what penalty Shall we apply
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:42
			to you? And they answered the
penalty will be the enslavement of
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			the person in whose bag the cup is
found. This is how we punish
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			wrongdoers.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:54
			Joseph began by searching their
bags then his brothers and he
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			pulled it out from his brother's
bag.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			In this way, we devised a plan for
Joseph
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			If God had not willed it, so he
could not have detained his
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			brother as a penalty under the
Kings law.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			We raise the rank of whoever He
will. above everyone who has
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			knowledge there is the one who is
all knowing.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			His brother said,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			if he is a thief, than his brother
was a thief before him.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			But Joseph kept his secrets and
did not reveal anything to them.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:32
			He said, You are in a far worse
situation. God knows best the
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:37
			truth of what you claim. They
said, mighty governor, he has an
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			elderly father, take one of us in
his place, we can see that you are
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:48
			a very good man. He replied. God
forbid that we should take anyone
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			other than the person on whom we
found our property that would be
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			unjust to us.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			When they lost hope of persuading
them, they withdrew to confer with
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			each other. The eldest of them
said, do not remember that your
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			father took a solemn pledge from
you in the name of God. And before
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:12
			that, you failed in your duty with
regard to Joseph, I will not leave
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:17
			this land until my father gives me
leave. Or God decides for me, he
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			is the best designer.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			So go back to your father and say,
Your son stole
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			we can only tell you what we saw.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:32
			How could we guard against the
unforeseen? Asking the town where
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			we have been asked the people of
the caravan we traveled with? We
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			are telling the truth.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:45
			Their father said, No. Your souls
have prompted you to do wrong. But
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:51
			it is best to be patient. May God
bring all of them back to me. He
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:56
			alone is the All Knowing the all
wise. And he turned away from them
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:01
			saying, Alas for Joseph. His eyes
went white with grief and he was
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:07
			filled with sorrow. They said, by
God, you will ruin your health or
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			even die. If you do not stop
thinking of Joseph.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			He said,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			I plead my grief and sorrow before
God.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:24
			I have knowledge from God that you
do not have my sons go and seek
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:28
			news of Joseph and his brother and
do not despair of God's mercy.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			Only this disbelievers despair of
God's mercy.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			Then, when they presented
themselves before Joseph, they
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:42
			said, mighty governor, misfortune
has afflicted us in our family. We
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			have brought only a little
merchandise but give us full
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:45
			measure.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			Be charitable to us. God rewards
the charitable.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			He said, Do you now realize what
you did to Joseph and his brother
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:00
			when you were foolish? And they
tried? Could it be that you are
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:08
			Joseph? He said, I am Joseph. This
is my brother. God has been
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:13
			gracious to us. God does not deny
anyone who is mindful of God, and
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:18
			steadfast in adversity, the
rewards of those who do good.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			They said, by God,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			God really did favor you over all
of us and we were in the wrong.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			But he said,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:35
			you will hear no reproaches today.
May God forgive you. He is the
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			Most Merciful of the Merciful.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:43
			Take this shirt of mine and lay it
over my father's face. He will
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:47
			recover his sight. Then bring your
whole family back to me.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:53
			Later, when the caravan departed,
their father said, you may think I
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			am senile, but I can smell Joseph.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:03
			But people said by God, you are
still lost in that old illusion of
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			yours. Then when the bearer of
good news came and placed a shirt
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:14
			onto Jacob's face, his eyesight
returned. And he said, Did I not
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			tell you that I have knowledge
from God that you do not have? The
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			father the brother said,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			Father
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			asked God to forgive our sins. We
were truly in the wrong.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:31
			He replied. I shall ask my Lord to
forgive you. He is the Most
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:38
			Later, when they presented
themselves before Joseph, he drew
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:43
			his parents to him. He said,
Welcome to Egypt. You will all be
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:48
			safe here God willing, and took
them up to his throne. They all
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:53
			bowed down before Him and He said,
Father, this is the fulfillment of
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			that dream I had long ago.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			My Lord has made it come true and
has been gracious to me
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			He released me from prison and he
brought you here from the desert.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:10
			After Satan sow discord between me
and my brothers, my Lord is most
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			subtle in achieving what he will.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:19
			He is the All Knowing the truly
wise, My Lord, You have given me
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			authority. You have taught me
something about the interpretation
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:28
			of dreams, creator of the heavens
and the earth. You are my
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:32
			protector in this world and in the
hereafter. Let me die in true
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			devotion to you. Join me with the
righteous.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			This account is part of what was
beyond your knowledge, Muhammad,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:45
			we revealed it to you. You are not
present with Joseph's brothers
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			when they made their treacherous
plans.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			Yet most people will not believe,
however eagerly you may want them
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:52
			to.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			You ask no reward from them for
this. It is a reminder for all
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			people. And there are many signs
in the heavens and the earth that
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			they pass by and give no heed to.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:09
			Most of them will only believe in
God while also joining others with
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			him.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			Are they so sure that an
overwhelming punishment from God
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:19
			will not fall on them? Or that the
last hour will not come upon them
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:25
			suddenly, when they least expect
it? Say, this is my way based on
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:31
			clear evidence, I and all who
follow me call people to God,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			Glory be to God, I do not join
others with him.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			All the messengers we sent before
you Muhammad, were men to whom we
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:45
			made revelations, men chosen from
the people of their towns
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			have the disbelievers not traveled
through the land and seen the end
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:55
			of those who went before them. For
those who are mindful of God, the
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:59
			home in the Hereafter is better.
Do you people not use your reason?
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			When the messengers lost all hope,
and realized that they had been
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			dismissed as liars are help came
to them.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:14
			We saved whoever we pleased. But
our punishment will not be turned
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			away from guilty people.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			There is a lesson in the stories
of such people for those who
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			understand.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			This revelation is no fabrication.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			It is a confirmation of the truth
of what was sent before it, an
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:33
			explanation of everything, a guide
and a blessing for those who
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:33
			believe.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			This is the end of SUTA Joseph
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			Surah 13 thunder
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:48
			in the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			Alif Laam Meem rah.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			These are the signs of the
Scripture. What Your Lord has sent
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:02
			down to you prophet is the truth.
Yet most people do not believe
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			it is God who raised up the
heavens with no visible supports,
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			and then established himself on
the throne.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15
			He has subjected the sun and the
moon, each to pursue its course
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			for an appointed time.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:23
			He regulates all things and makes
the revelations clear so that you
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			may be certain of meeting your
Lord. It is He Who spread out the
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:32
			earth, placed firm mountains and
rivers on it and made to have
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:38
			every kind of fruit. He draws the
veil of night over the day. There
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:43
			truly are signs in this for people
who reflect there are in the land,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:48
			neighboring plots, gardens of
vineyards, cornfields, palm trees,
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:53
			and clusters are otherwise all
watered with the same water, yet
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:58
			we make the yield of some better
than others. There truly are signs
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			in this for people who reason.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:06
			If anything can amaze you profit,
then you should surely be amazed
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:12
			that they're asking what when we
become dust, shall we be created a
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:12
			new
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			these are the ones who deny their
lord who will wear iron collars
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			around their necks and be the
inhabitants of the fire there to
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:21
			remain.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			They ask you to bring on the
punishment rather than any
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			promised rewards.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			Though there have been many
examples before them. Your Lord is
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:37
			full of forgiveness for people
despite their wrongdoing, but he
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			is truly severe and punishment.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			The disbelievers say
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:48
			why has no miracle been sent down
to him from his Lord, but you are
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			only there to give warning.
Earlier communities each have
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:52
			their guide.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			God knows what every female bears
and how much their rooms shrink or
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			swell
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			Everything has its measured with
him.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			He knows what is not seen as well
as what is seen.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			He is the Great, the Most High.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:16
			It makes no difference whether any
of you speak secretly, or aloud.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			Whether you are hiding under a
cover of night or walking about in
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			the day.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:27
			Each person has angels before him
and behind, watching over him by
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			God's command.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:34
			God does not change the condition
of a people for the worse unless
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:39
			they change what is in themselves.
But if He wills harm on people, no
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:45
			one can ward it off. Apart from
him, they have no protector. It is
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:50
			He Who shows you the lightning,
inspiring fear and hope. He builds
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:56
			up the clouds heavy with rain. The
thunder sounds His praises, as do
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:01
			the angels in awe of him. He sends
Thunderbolts to strike whoever He
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:06
			will. Yet still they dispute about
God. He has mighty plans.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			The only true prayer is to him.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			Those they pray to besides Him,
give them no answer, any more than
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:20
			water reaches the mouth of someone
who simply stretches out his hands
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:25
			for it. It cannot do so the
prayers of the disbelievers are
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:30
			all in vain. All that are in
heaven and earth submit to God
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:35
			alone, willingly or unwillingly,
as do their shadows in the morning
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			and in the evenings. Say prophet
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:47
			who is Lord of the heavens and the
earth? Say, God, say, Why do you
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:51
			take protectors other than Him,
who can neither benefit nor harm
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			even themselves, say,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:00
			are the blind equal to those who
can see and are the depths of
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			darkness equal to the light
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:07
			have the partners they assigned to
God created anything like his
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:11
			creation, so that their creation
is Indigo distinguishable from his
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:19
			say God is the Creator of all
things. He is the one of the all
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:19
			compelling.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			He sends water from the sky that
fills river beds to overflowing
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30
			each according to its measure. The
stream carries on its surface a
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:34
			growing layer of froth, like the
froth that appears when people
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:39
			melt metals in the fire to make
ornaments and tools. In this way,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			God illustrates truth and
falsehood, the froth disappears.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:50
			But what is of benefit to people
stays behind. This is how God
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			makes illustrations.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:57
			There will be the best of rewards
for those who respond to their
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:01
			Lord. Those who do not respond
would willingly give away the
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:06
			Earth's contents twice over. If
they had it in order to ransom
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			themselves. So terrible will be
their reckoning.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			* will be their home and their
bed wretched.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			Can someone who knows that the
revelation from your LORD is the
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			truth be equal to someone who was
blind to it?
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			Only those with understanding will
take it to heart.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			Those who fulfill the agreements
they make in God's name and do not
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:34
			break their pledges, who joined
together with God commands to be
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:39
			joined? Who were who are in awe of
their Lord and fear the harshness
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:39
			of the reckoning.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			who remained steadfast through
their desire for the face of their
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:50
			Lord, who keep up the prayer. Who
gives secretly and openly from
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			what We have provided for them
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:57
			who Repel evil with good views
will have the reward of the true
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:02
			home. They will enter perpetual
gardens, along with their
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:07
			righteous ancestors, spouses and
descendants, the angels will go
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			into them from every gate.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:15
			Peace be with you, because you
have remained steadfast. What an
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			excellent reward is this home of
yours.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:22
			But there will be rejection for
those who break their confirmed
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			agreements made in God's name,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:29
			who break apart what God has
commanded to be joined, and who
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			spread corruption on earth. There
is the dreadful home.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:39
			God gives abundantly to whoever He
will and sparingly to whoever He
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:44
			will. And though they may rebel,
in the life of this world, it is
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			but a fleeting comfort compared
with life to come.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			The disbelievers say
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:56
			why has no miracle been sent down
to him from his Lord. Prophets say
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			God leaves whoever He will trust.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			Ray, and guides himself, those who
turn towards Him. Those who have
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			faith in whose hearts find peace
in the remembrance of God.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:15
			Truly it is in the remembrance of
God that hearts find peace, those
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			who believe and do righteous
deeds, Joy awaits these and their
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21
			final homecoming will be
excellent.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:27
			So we have sent you prophet to a
community, other communities
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:31
			passed away long before them, to
recite to them what we reveal to
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:36
			you. Yet they disbelieve in The
Lord of Mercy. Say, He is my Lord,
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			there is no god but him. I put my
trust in Him and to Him as my
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			return.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:47
			If there were ever to be a Quran
with which mountains could be
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:51
			moved, the earth shattered or the
dead may to speak, it would have
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:55
			been this one. But everything is
truly in God's hand.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:01
			Do the believer has not realized
that if God had so willed, He
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			could have guided all mankind.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			As for the disbelievers because of
their misdeeds,
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			disaster will not cease to afflict
them or fall close to their homes
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:16
			until God's promises fulfilled.
God never fails to keep his
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			promise.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:23
			Many messengers before you
Mohammed remarked, but I granted
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:29
			respite to the disbelievers. In
the end, I took them to task, how
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			terrible my punishment was.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			It is he who stands over every
soul, marking its action in need
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			of any partner.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:45
			Yet they ascribe partners to God
say, named them, or can you tell
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:50
			him something on the earth he does
not know to exist? Or is this just
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			a display of words,
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			but the things they devise are
made a luring to the disbelievers
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:01
			and they are barred from the right
path. No one can guide those God
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:01
			leaves to stray.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			There is a torment for them in
this world. But the torment of the
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:10
			Hereafter will be harder, no one
will defend them against God.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:15
			Here is a picture of the garden
that those mindful of God have
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:20
			been promised, flowing streams and
perpetual food and shade.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:26
			This is the reward that awaits
those who are mindful of God. The
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			disbelievers reward is the fire.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:33
			Those to whom we sent the
Scripture rejoice in what was
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			revealed to you prophet.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38
			Some factions deny parts of it,
say,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:43
			I am commanded to worship God and
not join anything with Him and
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:47
			worship. To him, I call others and
to him I shall return.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:53
			So we have sent down the Quran to
give judgment in the Arabic
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:53
			language.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			If you were to follow their
desires after the knowledge that
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:01
			has come to you, you would have no
one to guard you or protect you
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			from God.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			We sent messengers before you and
gave them wives and offspring.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:13
			No messenger was given the power
to produce a miracle except with
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			God's permission.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:20
			There was a scripture for every
age, God erases or confirms
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			whatever he will and the source of
Scriptures with him.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			Whether we let you Prophet see
part of what we threaten them
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:34
			with, or cause you to die before
that, Your duty is only to deliver
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			the message. The Reckoning is
ours.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:42
			Do they not see how we come to
their land and trinkets borders?
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:49
			God decides no one can reverse his
decision. And he is swift and
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:49
			reckoning.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:56
			Those before them also schemed,
but the overall scheme belongs to
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:56
			God.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:03
			He knows what each soul does. In
the end, the disbelievers will
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:08
			find out who will have the
excellent home. They say, You have
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:13
			not been sent. Say, God is
sufficient witness between me and
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:17
			you. All knowledge of the
scripture comes from Him.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:24
			This is the end of surah 13 surah
14, Abraham
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:30
			in the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy,
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			olive law Lam raw.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:39
			This is a scripture which We have
sent down to you Prophet, so that
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			with their Lord's permission, you
may bring people from the depths
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:47
			of darkness into light to the path
of the Almighty, the praiseworthy
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:53
			one God, to whom everything in the
heavens and earth belongs. How
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:57
			terrible will be the torment of
those who ignore Him. Those who
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			prefer the life of this world over
the life to come
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			who turn others from God's way,
trying to make it crooked. Such
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			people have gone far astray.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			We have never sent a messenger who
did not use his own people's
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			language to make things clear for
them.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:21
			But still, God leaves whoever He
will to stray and guides whoever
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			He will. He is the Almighty V all
wise.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			So we sent Moses with our signs.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			Bring out your people from the
depths of darkness into light,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:38
			remind them of the days of God.
They're truly are signs in this
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			for every steadfast, thankful
person.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			And so Moses said to his people,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			remember God's blessing on you
when he saved you from pharaohs,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:53
			people who were inflicting
terrible suffering on you,
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			slaughtering your sons and sparing
only your women.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			That was a severe test from your
Lord.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:06
			Remember that he promised, if you
are thankful I will give you more.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:11
			But if you are thankless, My
punishment is terrible indeed.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:17
			And Moses said, even if you
together with everybody else on
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:23
			Earth, are thankless, God is self
sufficient, Worthy of all parties.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29
			Have you disbelievers not heard
about those who went before you?
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:36
			The people of Noah odd saw mood
and those after them known only to
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:36
			God.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			Their messengers came to them with
clear proof. But they tried to
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:46
			silence them, saying, We do not
believe the message you were sent
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:50
			with. We have disturbing doubts
about what you are asking us to
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:56
			do. They're messengers answered.
Can there be any doubt about God,
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			the Creator of the heavens and the
earth?
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:04
			He calls you to him in order to
forgive you your sins, and let you
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:09
			enjoy your life until the
appointed hour. But they said you
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			are only men like us.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			You want to turn us away from what
our forefathers used to worship.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:21
			Great, bring us clear proof then
if you can. Their messengers
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:27
			answered. True. We are only men
like you but God favors whichever
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			of His servants he chooses.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:34
			We cannot bring you any proof
unless God permits it. So let the
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			believers put all their trust in
him.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:42
			Why should we not put our trust in
God when it is he who has guided
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			us to the ways we follow?
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			We shall certainly bear
steadfastly whatever harm you do
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:53
			to us. Let anyone who trusts
trusts in God.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			The disbelievers said to their
messengers.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:02
			We shall expel you from our land
unless you return to our religion.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			But their Lord inspired the
messengers.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			We shall destroy the evil doers
and leave you to dwell in the land
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			after them.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:18
			This reward is for those who are
in awe of meeting me and of my
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:24
			warnings. They asked God to decide
and every obstinate tyrant failed.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:31
			* awaits each one. He will be
given fallow water to drink, which
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			he will try to go but scarcely be
able to swallow.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:39
			Death will encroach on him from
every side but he will not die.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			More intense suffering will lie
ahead of him.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:48
			The deeds of those who reject
their Lord are like ashes that the
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:55
			wind blows furiously on a stormy
day. They have no power over
		
00:28:55 --> 00:29:00
			anything they have gained. This
has to stray far, far away.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02
			Profit.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			Do you not see that God created
the heavens and the earth for a
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			purpose.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			He could remove all of you and
replace you with a new creation if
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			he wished to.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			That is not difficult for God.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:20
			When they all appear before him
the week will say to the power
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:25
			seekers. We were your followers.
Can you protect us from any of
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			God's punishment?
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:33
			They will reply. If God had guided
us we would have guided you. It
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:37
			makes no difference. Now whether
we rage or endure with patience,
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			there is no escape.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			When everything has been decided,
Satan will say
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:49
			God gave you a true promise. I too
made promises but they were false
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:54
			ones. I had no power over you
except to call you and you
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:59
			responded to my call. So do not
blame me. Blame yourself
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			I cannot help you nor can you help
me.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:08
			I reject the way you associated me
with God before.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:13
			A bitter torment awaits such
wrongdoers.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:18
			But those who dispute those who
believed and did good deeds will
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			be brought into gardens graced
with flowing streams, there to
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:25
			remain with their Lord's
permission, their greeting, there
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			is peace.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			Profit.
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32
			Do you not see how God makes
comparisons?
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:39
			A good word is like a good tree,
whose roots is firm, and whose
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			branches are high in the sky,
yielding constant fruit by its
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			Lord's leave.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:49
			God makes such comparisons for
people so that they may reflect.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:55
			But an evil word is like a rotten
tree uprooted from the surface of
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:58
			the Earth, with no power to
endure.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02
			God will give firmness to those
who believe in the firmly rooted
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:08
			word, both in this world and the
hereafter. But the evildoers he
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			leaves to stray.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12
			God does whatever he will
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:19
			do prophet. Do you not see those
who, in exchange for God's favor,
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:24
			offer only ingratitude and make
their people end up in the home of
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:27
			ruin? *, where they burn
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			what an evil place to stay.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:37
			They set up false deities as Gods
equals to lead people astray from
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:43
			His Path. Say, take your pleasure
now, for your destination is the
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			fire.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			Tell my servants who have believed
to keep up the prayer and give
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:53
			secretly and in public out of what
We have provided them
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			before a day comes when there will
be no trading or friendship.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:04
			It is God who created the heavens
and earth who has sent down water
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:08
			from the sky and with it brought
forth produce to nourish you.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:14
			He has made ships useful to you,
sailing the sea by His Command and
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:20
			the rivers to he has made the sun
and the moon useful to you study
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			on their paths.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:27
			He has made the night and they're
useful to you and given you some
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:31
			of everything you asked him for.
If you tried to count God's
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:36
			favors, you could never calculate
them. Man is truly unjust and
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			ungrateful.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:45
			Remember when Abraham said, Lord,
make this town safe? Preserve me
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:51
			and my offspring from idolatry.
Lord, the idols have led many
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			people astray.
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:57
			Anyone who follows me is with me.
But as for anyone who disobeyed
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:02
			me, you are surely forgiving and
merciful. Our Lord,
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			I have settled some of my
offspring in an uncultivated
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:11
			Valley, close to your sacred
house, Lord, so that they may keep
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			up the prayer.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:17
			Make people's hearts turn to them
and provide them with produce so
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			that they may be thankful.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:24
			Our Lord, you know well what we
conceal and what we reveal.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:27
			Nothing at all is hidden from God
on earth or in heaven.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:33
			Praise be to God who has granted
me Ishmael in his heart. In my old
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:39
			age. My Lord hears all requests.
Lord, grant that I and my
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:43
			offspring may keep up the prayer.
Our Lord, accept my request.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:50
			Our Lord, forgive me, my parents
and the believers on the day of
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51
			reckoning.
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:56
			Do not think prophet that God is
unaware of what the disbelievers
		
00:33:56 --> 00:34:00
			do. He only gives them respite
until a day when their eyes will
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			stare in terror.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:07
			They will rush forward craning
their necks, unable to divert
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:13
			their eyes, a gaping void in their
hearts. So warn people of the day
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:17
			when punishment will come to them.
And when the disbelievers will
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:22
			say, Our Lord, give us a little
more time, we shall answer your
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			call and follow the messengers.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			Did you disbelievers not swear in
the past, that your power would
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			have no end.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:36
			You lived in the same places as
others who wronged themselves
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:40
			before. And you were clearly shown
how we dealt with them.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:46
			We gave you many examples. They
made their plots. But even if
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:50
			their plots had been able to move
mountains, God had the answer.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:57
			So do not think prophet that God
will break his promise to His
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			messengers. He is mighty you
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			and capable of retribution
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:08
			one day when the earth is turned
into another Earth, the heavens
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:14
			into another heaven and people all
up here before God the one the
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:20
			overpowering you profit will see
the guilty on that day bound
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:27
			together in fetters in garments of
pitch faces covered and fire all
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:33
			will be judged so that God may
reward each soul as it deserves.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			God is swift in his reckoning
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:42
			This is a message to all people so
that they may be warned by it and
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:48
			know that he is the only God and
so that those who have minds may
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			take heed
		
00:35:51 --> 00:36:13
			this is the end of Jos number
1301.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			Whoa
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			whoa
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:07
			whoa
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			whoa
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:19
			whoa Nana all
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			right
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			oh
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:42
			moody pain
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:55
			long, long, long, long wave. This
has been a Safina society
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:55
			production
