2:37

Salam all,

This is AYAH 2:37
2:37 فتلقي ادم من ربه كلمات فتاب عليه انه هو التواب الرحيم
Fatalaqqa adamu min rabbihikalimatin fataba AAalayhi innahu huwa alttawwabualrraheemu


Fatalaqqa: made himself receive/made himself meet
Note: The root L-Q-W means to meet and to receive at the same time. It appears in several passages in the Qur’an. Another word that is a derivative of the same root is ALQA which means He Threw/He cast/He envoyed. This seems to be the opposite of the L-Q-W, however, the word ALQA means literally To make (someone or something) meet/receive. Making someone or something meet/receive can done through casting away/throwing/envoying.
TALAQQA is the third person singular present tense form of a derived verb that means to make oneself receive/to make oneself meet.
Adamu: Adam
Min: From
Rabbihi: His nurturer/his sustainer
Kalimatin: Words
Note: the root is K-L-M and it means to make recognizable voices come out of the mouth/to speak/to talk. KALIMAT is the plural of the word KALIMAH and they are the voices that come out of the mouth and that are the WORDS.
fataba AAalayhi: So He (GOD) helped/made him (ADAM) return to GOD’s way and GOD’s favor
Note: This is very complex and I put two words next to each other because this is very important. TAB comes from the rood T-W-B and it means to return. In the Quran, it is used mostly to mean Return to GOD and to GOD’s way. AAaLAYH means on him. When the two words come together, they mean That GOD made/helped the human return to GOD’s way. When the TAB is followed by IlAYH then it is the person that returns to GOD.
Innahu: He (GOD) with stress
Huwa: Again He (GOD) for further stress
Alttawwabu: The helper of people to return
Note: The root is the same as mentioned earlier. T-W-B. TAWWAB is the one that returns a lot (To GOD). Here it refers to GOD and it means that GOD is the one that helps/allows/makes it easier for his people to return to him a lot.
Alrraheemu: The merciful with womb like mercy
Note: This is a reminder that RAHEEM comes from R-H-M and the concrete word is RAHM means Womb. Therefore the RAHEEM is the one that treats people like a womb treats people.

Note:
The AYAH says that “Adam made himself receive words from his GOD. Therefore GOD helped Adam return to GOD’s way. For GOD is the one that helps people return (to his way) and he is the one that treats people with womb like mercy.

My personal note:
This AYAH is a demonstration of the mercy of GOD on man.

Salam all and I will see you later

Hussein
