وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ كِتَابٌ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ وَكَانُواْ مِن قَبْلُ يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ مَّا عَرَفُواْ كَفَرُواْ بِهِ فَلَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى
الكافِرِينَ
Walamma jaahum kitabunmin AAindi Allahi musaddiqun lima maAAahumwakanoo min qablu yastaftihoona AAala allatheenakafaroo falamma jaahum ma AAarafoo kafaroobihi falaAAnatu Allahi AAala alkafireena

Note:
The AYA says “And when came to the them(Israelites) a Book from the GOD, declaring true what is with them, and they were prevuisly seeking opening (aid) on the ones that disbelieved. So, when came to them what they knew (to be good), they disbelieved in it, So, distancing/expelling of the GOD is on the disbelievers (the ones that cover themselves from GOD’s message)”

My personal note:
The Aya talks about the Israelites and mentions that the book (Qur’an) came declaring true the books that the Israelites have. The AYA alludes to the notion that some of the Israelites were seeking opening (aid) against the disbelievers around them. However, when this message came, and they disbelieved in it, GOD announced that there will be distancing between HIM and the disbelievers.

One note to mention is the fact that the use of the term Kafaroo for the Israelites does not mean all of them, and therefore there is no generalization.

My personal note:
The Aya respond to the ones amongst the Israelite that would say that their hearts are in the envelope of their message. This, to GOD is an inappropriate answer for it means that they covered their hearts from hearing the new message and that caused them to be distanced from the good (distanced from GOD). The AYA keeps the possibility that some, although few will believe and feel safe in GOD and his messages.

This passage is a message to all. It says that we always have to keep our hearts open to GOD and his messages.

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَقَفَّيْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ بِالرُّسُلِ وَآتَيْنَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَيَّدْنَاهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ أَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لاَ تَهْوَى أَنْفُسُكُمْ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ فَفَرِيقاً كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيقاً تَقْتُلُونَ

Note:
This Aya says “And WE (GOD) brought to Moses the book and we made follow from after him the messengers. And WE (GOD) brought to Jesus son of Mary the clarifications and we strengthened him with the holy spirit (the breeze of purification and sanctification). So, is it that whenever a messenger comes to you with other than the emptiness that yourselves desire, you considered yourselves and declared yourselves greater/above (the message)? So a group you declared liars and a group you kill?”

My personal note:
This Aya talks about the line of messengers including Moses and the following messengers including Jesus. The AYA says that Jesus was strengthened with the ROOH-QUDUS which is the word used for the Holy spirit and literally translated as the breeze of sanctification and purification. The AYA reminds us that we should be careful of the empty desires that we all have. Those empty desires may push us to not heed the message of GOD. It also reminds us to be humble in front of the message of GOD.

Note:
The AYA says “Then here you are killing each other and expelling a group of you from their homes/territories. You exchange backing (with others) on them (group of idraelites) with ugly, forbidden acts and aggression. And if they (your group) come to you as captives you exchange ransom for them. Expelling them is a violation that you were forbidden (to do). Do you make trust (and act) on some of the book and bury some (disbelieve and not act)? The process of compensation to whoever does this is but humiliation in the near life and on the day of the standing (for judgement), they will be repelled to the tighter suffering, and GOD pays attention to what you do.

وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَ بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلَ لاَ تَعْبُدُونَ إِلاَّ اللَّهَ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَاناً وَذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَقُولُواْ لِلنَّاسِ حُسْناً وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتُواْ الزَّكَاةَ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً مِّنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مُّعْرِضُونَ
Wa-ith akhathna meethaqabanee isra-eela la taAAbudoona illa Allahawabialwalidayni ihsanan watheealqurba waalyatama waalmasakeeniwaqooloo lilnnasi husnan waaqeemoo alssalatawaatoo alzzakata thumma tawallaytum illaqaleelan minkum waantum muAAridoona

Note:
The AYA says “And as WE (GOD) took the deal/promise of the sons of Israel that you don’t enslave yourselves except to the GOD and by/for the couple that conceived/gave birth (to you) show beauty/niceness/goodness and the ones that are close, and the orphans or lone people and the ones who cannot maneuver out of their bad situation (poverty or otherwise). And say to the people goodness and keep upright the prayer, and bring about what makes growth/maturity (spiritual and may be material, through charity and otherwise). Then, you(israelites) except for a few,directed yourselves away, while you obstacle."

My personal note:
The Aya points to the deal/promise that the Israelites made with GOD:
1- Not to enslave themselves (worship) to other than the GOD.
2- The good treatment of the parents, the relatives or other close people, the orphans or lone people, the people with poor means to get out of bad situations
3- Say goodness to the people
4- Keep standing upright the Salat (prayer)
5- Bring about maturity and growth (spiritual and material through prescribed charity.)

Then it addresses the Israelites that they followed their own direction other than GOD, Except for a few, and that they obstacled (the order of GOD).

It is to be noted that the deal that the Israelites is a deal to humanity and is included in the message of Islam. Another message is that NOT ALL the Israelites strayed from the message. This is important since the Qur’an NEVER condemned all the Jews nor all the Christians.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wa-ith: And as
Akhathna: We (GOD) took
Note: the root is T-KH-Th and it means to take for the verb and taking for the noun. AKHATHNA is the first person plural past tense of the verb:
Meethaqa: Deal/tying the knot/assurance
Note: the root is W-TH-Qaf and it means to tie a knot for the concrete form. This is also used to mean assurance/deal and so forth. MEETHAQ is the Tying of the knot in concrete form and means assurance/deal.
banee isra-eela: Children of Israel
la taAAbudoona: Not to enslave yourselves/not to worship
Note: LA means not to. TaAABUDOON is derived from the root Ain-B-D and it means enslave oneself for the verb and slave for the noun. TaAABUDOON is the second person plural present tense of the verb. Here enslaving oneself means worship, obedience and service.
illa Allaha: Except for the GOD
wabialwalidayni: And with the two that gave birth/and with the two that conceived.
Note: Wa mean and. Bi means with/by. WALIDAYN is derived from the root W-L-D and it means to give birth or to conceive for the verb and son/child for the noun. WALIDAYN is a dual form denoting the two that conceived or the two that gave birth.
Ihsanan: process of beautiful treatment/nice treatment
Note: The root is Ha-S-N and it means nice/beautiful/good. For the verb it means to become good/beautiful/nice. IHSAN is the process of treating someone in a beautiful/nice/good way.
Watheealqurba: and the ones who are close/related
Note: Wa means And. THEE means those who are. ALQURBA is derived from the root Qaf-R-B and it means to become close for the verb and close for the noun. ALQURBA are the ones who are close and that means relatives but it also could mean other (as in neighbors, close in thinking and so forth)
Waalyatama: And the orphans/ and the ones who are alone
Note: The root is Y-T-M and it means to be alone (as in no relatives, no spouse nothing), or to be an orphan. YATAMA are those who are alone or who are orphans.
Waalmasakeen: and the ones who cannot maneuver out of a bad situation
Note: Wa means And. ALMASAKEEN is derived from the root S-K-N which means to become still (as in not moving)/calm/resting. The noun means the non movement/calm state. ALMASAKEEN is plural of the people who are still and is used for the people who cannot maneuver out of a bad situation.
Waqooloo: And say
Note: Wa means And. QULOO is derived of Qaf-W-L and it means to say for the verb and Saying for the noun. QULOO is an order form of the verb addressing a plural.

Alssalata: The prayer
Note: SALAT is the word that is used to mean Prayer in Arabic and as practiced by the prophet in front of thousands of his followers. The concrete words that may shed light to this word are two:
1- Root S-L-W and it means to heat/to warm. Therefore SALAT, if derived from this root, would be the process that makes heat/warmth/energy between man and GOD.
2- SALA is the lower back that provides support to movement, around which muslims move through the Salat. In an abstract form SALAT becomes the process that makes support for movement/direction of man towards GOD.

Therefore, to me, SALAT is the prayer and it is the process that makes warmth and/or support for man’s movement/direction towards GOD. GOD knows best.
Waatoo: And make come (with determination)/bring about
Note: the root is Hamza-T-W and it means to come (with determinedness). AATOO is an order form of a verb derived of the same root. An order to a group of people. The meaning of AATOO is Make come/bring about.
Alzzakata: The process that makes growth (spiritually or otherwise)/maturation. This is usually used for prescribed charity since it causes spiritual growth to the giver and material as well as spiritual growth to the receiver.
Note: the root is Z-K-W and it means to grow/mature for the verb and growth /maturation for the noun. ALZAKAT is the process that makes growth and maturation (spiritually and otherwise). This term is used Islamically speaking to mean the prescribed charity., since it causes spiritual maturity and financial growth to the ones that receive it.
Thumma: then
Tawallaytum: Directed yourselves away from the prescribed direction (the way of GOD)
Note: the root is W-L-Y and it means to direct, or to follow direction, depending to where it falls in the sentence. TAWALLAYTUM is a second person plural past tense of a verb that is derived of this root. This derivative means direct oneself away from the prescribed direction.

Minkum: From you/amongst you
Waantum: And you (with some stress)
muAAridoona: presenting your width/making obstacle
Note: the root is Ain-R-Dad and it means width. All the derivatives of this root have width as the source of the meaning which is the concrete word. MuAARIDOON are the plural that are presenting their width. Here the width is used to mean an obstacle to movement, since it stands in the way, rather than allowing a smooth flow.

Transliteration:
Bala man kasaba sayyi-atan waahatatbihi khatee-atuhu faola-ika as-habu alnnarihum feeha khalidoona

Note:
The Aya says “But no, whoever earns an ugly deed and his error encloses on him, then they are the companions of the fire (hell), in it they last.”

My personal note:
This Aya is a refutation to whoever claims that they are favored by GOD and therefore they will not go to hell but a few days. GOD answers that NO, whoever makes an error and the error encloses on that person (takes hold of him/her), then they are the companions of the fire, no matter who they were.

This is a message to all humans to do well and avoid the errors in front of GOD. Also, it is a message not to let our errors take hold on us

My personal note:
This AYA is a message from GOD to the Israelites as well as all humanity to never to say about GOD what they don’t know. This is also a message to all that they need to keep working on avoiding Hell. No one has a promise or a deal from GOD.

So woe to them for what their hands/means had written and woe to them for what they earn.

My personal note:
This Aya is a strong reminder that people need to be honest when attributing anything to GOD. This applies not only to the books that came from GOD, but also books that aim to confuse people away from the truth.

In a wider sense, it is a call for honesty in all fields of sharing knowledge with humanity.

Note:
The Aya says “And amongst them (the Israelites) people who are stuck to their base without working towards a goal(which is the Arabic expression for illiteracy). They don’t know the book except for what they wish was written, and they follow their suspicion without solid proofs.

My personal note:
This Aya basically tells us that some people of the book of GOD remain at their base, without working on a goal to reach (illiterate). Those same people, lack knowledge of the books except for what they wish was written. They follow suspicion that lacks solid proofs.

The Aya tells us that we need to work on goals to reach in the direction of GOD. It also asks us to get educated in the book of GOD and not follow what we wish is written in the book. The AYA also asks us to look for solid proofs. This Aya talks about the Israelites, yet it applies to all of us.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waminhum: And of them/and amongst them
Ommiyyoona: People without a goal to work on reaching /illiterate people

Illa: Except for
Amaniyya: Wishes of writing/wishes of destiny
Note:The root is M-N-Y and it means to destine/to write a destiny. I used write because in Arabic understanding, destiny is written. AMANIYY is a plural noun for wishes of something being destined or written.

Note:
The AYA says “Don’t they know that GOD knows what they keep secret and what they reveal”

My personal note:
This AYA continues the theme that was mentioned in the previous AYA. It responds to the dialogues and the fears that the Israelites are having with themselves. This AYA says that GOD knows their secrets and what they make public.

In another sense this AYA tells them that since GOD knows everything, then HE can share some of the knowledge with the Mumins. Therefore, the mumins do not need any knowledge of the books from before. The mumins get their knowledge from GOD through his new book, the Qur’an.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Awa la: Don’t they?

Note: the root here is Ain-L-M and it means to know for the verb and knowledge for the noun. YAAaLAMOON is the third person plural present tense of the verb.

Note:
The Aya says “And if they (Israelites) meet/receive the ones who made selves safe (in GOD), they (Israelites) said: We made selves safe. And if they freed their company but for each other they said: Do you inform them (mumins) of happenings that GOD opened (made available) on you, so that they will contest you on it’s truths at your nurturer? Don’t you knot knowledge?”

My personal note:
This Aya is talking about the interesting relationship between the mumins and some of the Israelites (jews and may be Christians as well) that they had contact with. It talks about a group that meets the mumins and says that they believe in what they muslims believe in, while when with each other they debate that they should not share their knowledge of the book (bible) for fear that the Mumins will contest them on the truths in it.

This Aya talks about some of the issues that some Israelites find themselves in. The main issue is how to deal with this new religion that shares some of their own beliefs and understandings, yet also challenges it. The challenge comes because this new religion provides newer understandings.

أَفَتَطْمَعُونَ أَن يُؤْمِنُواْ لَكُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلاَمَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ مِن بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
Transliteration:
AfatatmaAAoona an yu/minoo lakumwaqad kana fareequn minhum yasmaAAoona kalama Allahithumma yuharrifoonahu min baAAdi ma AAaqaloohuwahum yaAAlamoona

Note:
The AYA says “Do you (muslims or mumins) hope to gain that they (Israelites)make selves safe in you? And there was a group of them that heard and understood the words and opinions of GOD then they derailed them, after having knotted them(the words and thoughts together) while knowing (that they are changing it)”.

My personal note:
This AYA basically tells the muslims and mumins to not worry whether the Israelites will or will not feel safe to the muslims. It mentioned that some of the Israelites have understood the message of GOD and then derailed it.

The other message is that it is very difficult for people who derail the truth to feel safe in the truth or in GOD. One has to always try to hear and understand the word of GOD without derailing it.

Another message is that the message of Islam has enough of itself to stand on it’s own, without the support of people who have similar beliefs.

AfatatmaAAoona: Do you hope to gain? (here, GOD addresses the muslims)

Note:
The AYA says “Then your hearts hardened after that, so they are as the rocks/stones or harder. And some of the rocks/stones will open and rivers gush from it, and some of the stones/rocks split and water seeps out of it, and some of the stones fall down because of fear of GOD. And GOD is paying attention to what you do.”

My personal note:
This AYA is a reminder to the Israelites that their hearts hardened to become as hard as the rocks or even harder. The imagery that follows is beautiful since it points to areas when the rocks give in to other forces. This is absent in the hard hearted people and that is not a good thing. GOD reminds us that he pays attention to what we do.

Transliteration:
Faqulna idriboohu bibaAAdihakathalika yuhyee Allahu almawtawayureekum ayatihi laAAallakum taAAqiloona

Note:
The AYA says “So WE (GOD) said hit him (the dead man) with some of her ( the cow). GOD makes the dead live like this (with ease), and makes you see his signs. Perhaps you will think (literally: knot knowledge together).”

My personal note:
The AYA goes about the story where the order was given to hit the dead man with some of the cow. Apparently the man came back to life, rapidly and with ease. GOD used this as a sign to show the Israelites that GOD is able to make the dead live. This is a sign to prove to the skeptics amongst the Israelites that there is another life after death.

Note: WA means And. YUREEKUM is derived of the root R-Hamza-Y and it means to see/to visualize/to realize for the verb and Vision/realization/idea for the noun.

Note:
The AYAH says “And as you killed a self (person) and so you pushed each other in her (the self, accusing each other of killing). And the GOD brings out what you were concealing.”

My personal note:
This AYA connects the story of the cow with a murder that occurred where the people accused each other of the killing. A message that comes out of this is that a bad deed will end up in disagreement at some point. Another message is that GOD will always bring out the truth.

There is a sense that they were asking too many questions about the cow to make it difficult to perform the slaughter.

Translation of the Transliterated words:
Qaloo: They said
odAAu: Call upon
Note: please see the previous AYAH
Lana: To us/for us
Rabbaka: Your nurturer
Yubayyin: To clarify
Note: This is a very interesting root and occurs often in the Qur’an. The root is B-Y-N and it means Between in it’s most common form. Sometimes it will mean separation, unification and clarification (all related to between). The verb of the root will mean to between which can mean To Separate, to unite and clarify. This depends on the sentence that will let us know which is which. The most important occurrence is to Clarify and that is the use here.

She makes help/aid (of productive age) between old and young. So, do what you are ordered.”

My personal note:
The AYAH is talking about the process of the choice of the cow that was to be slaughtered. The choice was that she should not be old nor young. This brings about the concept of middle that comes often in the Qur’an. The middle (as in non extreme) in Islam and in the Qur’an is an important concept that muslims are asked to follow.

Salaam all,

This is 2:67
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَذْبَحُواْ بَقَرَةً قَالواْ أَتَتَّخِذُنَا هُزُواً قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ
Transliteration:
Wa-ith qala moosaliqawmihi inna Allaha ya/murukum an tathbahoobaqaratan qaloo atattakhithuna huzuwan qalaaAAoothu biAllahi an akoona mina aljahileena

Note:
The AYAH says “And as Moses said to his people: The GOD orders you to slaughter a cow. They (his people) said: Do you make us taken for your mockery? He (Moses) said: I refuge myself in GOD that I am one of those who lack knowledge/ignorant.”

My personal note:
The big message that I get from this AYAH is the fact that Moses viewed Mocking people as a sign of lack of knowledge or ignorance. This is a message that humanity needs to remember.

The significance of the cow will come in later AYAT.

Salaam all,

This is 2:66
فَجَعَلْنَاهَا نَكَالاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا وَمَا خَلْفَهَا وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
Transliteration:
FajaAAalnaha nakalanlima bayna yadayha wama khalfahawamawAAithatan lilmuttaqeena

Note:
The AYAH says “So WE (GOD) made her (the village and the terrible thing that happened in it 7:163-166) a reason for fear and avoidance (of such transgressions) to those who were there and those that came after or were outside the village. It is also a piece of advice for those that make themselves guarded (through GOD consciousness)”

My personal note:
The AYA reminds us again that the terrible thing that happened to that village and some of it’s people was a reason for fear and avoidance of transgression. This fear affected the people at the incident and outside of it in time and space. As for the GOD conscious, people, it is an advice.

The Advice is that people should abide by GOD’s laws even when the temptation to break them is so great.

Translation of the Transliterated words:
FajaAAalnaha: So WE (GOD) made her (the village mentioned in 7:163)
Note: FA means So. JAAaLNA is a derivative of the root J-Ain-L and it means to make for the verb and Making for the noun. JAAaLNA is the first person plural past tense of the verb. HA means her. The Her points to the village where this incident happened (7:163-166)
Nakalan: reason for avoidance through fear (suggesting that what happened was a terrible thing that will cause people to be afraid)
Note: the root is N-K-L and it means to avoid something or doing something due to fear. NAKAL is what makes one avoid something due to fear. Therefore NAKAL suggests that a terrible thing happened that will make people afraid.

Khalfaha: Behind her/after her
Note: the root is KH-L-F and it means to come after(time) or come behind(space) for the verb. The noun would mean behind in space and after in time. KHALFAHA would probably mean the ones that came after (the village and it’s incident) of the villages behind (the village and it’s incident) and both are appropriate understandings.
wamawAAithatan: And a piece of advice
Note: WA means And. MAWAAiTHATAN is derived from the root W-Ain-THA and it means to advise for the verb and Advice for the noun. MAWAAiTHATAN is a piece of advice.
