2:45

Salaam all,

This is 2:45
واستعينوا بالصبر والصلاة وانها لكبيرة الا علي الخاشعين
WaistaAAeenoo bialssabriwaalssalati wa-innaha lakabeeratunilla AAala alkhashiAAeena

Wa: And
istaAAeenoo: Seek Aid
Note: the root is AAa-W-N and it means to aid as a verb and AID as a noun. ISTAAeeNOO is a form the verb that means to Seek Aid. ISTAAeeNOO is an order form of the verb addressing a group of people.
Bialssabri: In The patience
Note: The root is SSad-B-R and it means to be patient. ALSSABR means the patience itself. The concrete meaning of the word SSABR is prison, and the relationship to the abstract meaning above is that in patience and in prison things are kept in check.
Waalssalati: And the prayer/Connection to GOD/Salat
Salat is the word that is mostly used to mean prayer. Some will explain the root derivative through the word SILAH (another derivative of the root SLW) and it means Connection. Therefore the essence of SALAT is CONNECTION with GOD. Salat is mentioned in the Qur’an mainly in two forms SALAT to GOD and SALAT ON people. The first means the Connection/prayer from people to GOD. The other means the Connection from GOD or others ON people and they are two different things. The first is a sign of worship to GOD and the second is a sign of honor bestowed ON the people by GOD.
wa-innaha: And she (SALAT) is
Note: the SHE here points to a feminine word that was mentioned earlier in this AYAH or the previous one. The feminine word is SALAT
Lakabeeratun: Really Big/difficult
Note: K-B-R is the root and it means to become big. KABEERA is an adjective that describes something as being BIG. Here Big means difficult
Illa: Except
AAala: On
alkhashiAAeena: The humble/the ones that acknowledge weakness and accept authority (of GOD)
Note: the root is KH-SH-AAa and in a concrete sense, it means to lower your head, your gaze and your voice. This means to acknowledge own weakness and accept the authority of (GOD, but it could be others). KHASHIAAeeN are the people that are humble/acknowledge their weakness and accept authority.

Note:
This Ayah Says “And seek aid in the Patience, and the Salat/connection/turning to GOD. The Salat is Big/difficult except for those that are humble (Those that acknowledge weakness and accept the authority of GOD)”

My personal note:
This Ayah tells us that we should seek the aid of Patience and of Prayer/Salat/Connection to GOD. It also reminds us that humility (Acceptance of our weakness and of GOD’s authority over us) will make seeking the aid of Salat (and may be patience) easier.

Salaam all and have a good day
