2:4

Salam and Good morning,

I have edited 1:6 and 2:3 in case anyone wants to revisit. Here is 2:$

2:4 والذين يؤمنون بما انزل اليك وما انزل من قبلك وبالاخرة هم يوقنون
[2:4]
Waallatheena yu/minoona bimaonzila ilayka wama onzila min qablika wabial-akhiratihum yooqinoona

Waallatheena: And those that

yu/minoona: Believe/Trust/attain safety in/feel safe in (see 2:3)

bima:in what

onzila: Was made to arrive
This is a derivative of the root NZL. To explain the word I will use the derivatives NUZUL meaning hotel (A place where people who arrive stay) and Manzel meaning home or the place where guests stay. Therefore to me the essence of the word is “arriving somewhere and staying for a certain time” and Onzila is “what was made to arrive and stay (for a certain time, long, short or forever)”

Ilayka: To you. Therefore the meaning of the few words “What was brought to stay to you, and this is the message from GOD”

Wama: And what

Onzila: What was made to arrive

Min: From

Qablika: Before you
QBL is the root to this word and it means FRONT of someone or something. It is used in Arabic to mean Before as “in front of”, Accept as “Give your front to something meaning accept it as opposed to Give your back to something as in refuse it”. It also means FRONT and one of the important derivatives in the Qur’an is the word QIBLA which means “Put your front in a direction towards another place or person’s front”
Here, the meaning is “The before you”

wabial-akhirati: and in “The Later”
AKHR is the root and means Late or later. The derivatives in the Qur’an mean Later, sometimes Second and sometimes Other. The Later here points to what is coming later and that is the Other life/The day of judgement/

hum yooqinoona: They verify and approach certainty
Note: YQN means Verified something. YOOqIN means a person who verifes the matter and reaches and approaches certainty, usually in approval unless pointed otherwise.

My Note:
The meaning is “ And those that trust/believe/attain or feel safety in the message that was brought to stay with you and the messages that were brought to stay before you and in The Later (things and events to come as in Day of judgement/ Later life) They have verify and approach certainty.

Personal note:

This is an invitation from GOD to the open minded people of the world to verify and approach certainty of what he says to us, including the life that will come after death. This is also an affirmation of the relationship between the message of the Qur’an and the messages that came before (including, the bible, but it leaves the door open to other messages that may have come as well).

I hope that it s of help to someone. SALAM
