this is 2:124
وَإِذِ ابْتَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ قَالَ إِنِّي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَاماً قَالَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي قَالَ لاَ يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِينَ
Wa-ithi ibtala ibraheemarabbuhu bikalimatin faatammahunna qala innee jaAAilukalilnnasi imaman qala wamin thurriyyateeqala la yanalu AAahdee alththalimeena

The Aya says:
And as Abraham was tested with words by his nurturer, so he completed them. He (GOD) said: I am making you a guide to the goal for the people. He (Abraham) said: and of my dispersed seed? He (GOD) said: Will not reach my promise the ones that displace right with wrong.

My personal note:
This Aya tells us that Abraham was made into the guide to the people. However, it also points out clearly that transgressing people even amongst the seed of Abraham will not reach GOD’s promise.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wa-ithi: And as
Ibtala: made tested/tested
Note: the root is B-L-W and it means to test or to arrive at test. IBTALA is the third person singular past tense of a verb that it related to this root. This form of the verb means to make someone or something tested for oneself
Ibraheema: Abraham
Rabbuhu: His nurturer
Note: the root is R-B-B and it means to become grown and nurtured in all the aspects (physically, mentally and spiritually). RABBU is the one that does it and I chose the meaning nurturer.Hu means his.
Important notice: IBTALA IBRHIMU RABBUHU means Abraham was tested by his nurturer. (it is a complex rule of arabic grammar)
Bikalimatin: By words
Note: BI means By. KALIMATIN is derived of the root K-L-M and in concrete it relates to skin and it means to become open skin as in wound or open mouth. KALIMAT are the products of the open mouth and they are the words.
Faatammahunna: So he completed them/He made them complete
Note: the root is T-M-M and it means to become complete. ATAMM is the third person past tense singular of a related verb. This verb means Made them complete. HUNNA means them and that is a plural feminine that points to the Words.
Qala: HE (GOD) Said
Note: the root is Qaf-W-L and it means to say. QALA is the third person singular past tense of the verb. The one who was doing the talking here is GOD.
Innee: I (GOD) with stress
jaAAiluka: Making you
Note: the root is J-Ain-L and it means to make or to arrive at making. JaAAiLU means making. KA means you and this is a singular masculine you.
Lilnnasi: To the people/to the society
Note: LI means to. NASSI is derived from the root Hamza-N-S and it means to become social or to socialize. ALNASS is plural of INS and that means the one that one socializes with and that is the people or the society.
Imaman: A guide to the goal
Note: the root is Hamza-M-M and this is one of the most important roots to understand. UMM is the source and the origin while AMM is the goal that one seeks. AMM as a verb means to become directed to a goal. IMAM is the guide to the goal. The goal here is the nearness to GOD and GOD knows best.
Qala: He (Abraham) said
Note: the root is Qaf-W-L and it means to say. QALA is the third person singular past tense of the verb.
Wamin: And from/of
Thurriyyatee: My dispersed seed/grain/particles/atoms

AAahdee: My promise
Note: the root is Ain-H-D and it means to arrive at promise which potentially can give the feeling of promise or asking someone else to promise or both, with the understanding according to the position in the sentence. The noun is promise. AAaHAD means promise. EE means mine.
Alththalimeena: The ones that misplace right and wrong
Note: the root is TH-L-M and it means to misplace something for the concrete and misplace right and wrong for the abstract. ALTHTHALIMEEN are the people that misplace right and wrong.

وَاتَّقُواْ يَوْماً لاَّ تَجْزِي نَفْسٌ عَن نَّفْسٍ شَيْئاً وَلاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَلاَ تَنفَعُهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَلاَ هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ
Waittaqoo yawman la tajzeenafsun AAan nafsin shay-an wala yuqbalu minhaAAadlun wala tanfaAAuha shafaAAatun walahum yunsaroona

The Aya says:
“And Guard yourselves (Be conscious) of a Day when no self will compensate for another. When becoming just will not be accepted from her, nor will a plea for partnership (to aid or be aided) be of use, nor will they be helped (at that time of need).”

My Personal note:
This AYAH is a reminder that the Day of judgment is a day when each will be standing alone. Our only support is what we have earned Justly before that day. No one will be able to help us or partner with us. GOD reminds us to be conscious of that day.

Translation of the transliterated words
WAITTAQOO: and Make your selves guarded/be conscious
Note: This word comes often in the Qur’an. The root is W-Q-W and it means to guard. ITTAQOO is an imperative form of the verb that is addressing the group and it means Guard yourselves/be conscious.
YAWMAN: A Day
Note: YAWM means day.
LA: Does not/No
TAJZEE: compensate/will compensate
Note: the root is J-Z-W and the meaning is to compensate and for the noun Compensation. TAJZEE is the third person singular present or future tense of the verb

Note: NAFS means a self. It is a derivative of the root N-F-S and it means to breath. NAFS is a noun that is derived from this root and it means SELF.
AAaN: Instead
NAFSIN: Self
Note: this is exactly as the word that preceded it. The I and the O are due to grammatical locations rather than other reasons.
SHAY’AN: something/anything
Note: this is a derivative of the Root SH-Y-A and it means to will something. SHAY’A is a willed thing literally speaking and that is something or anything.
WALA: and not
YUQBALU: Accepted
Note: the root here is Q-B-L and it means to Front something/to put something in front. YUQBALOO is a third person present tense of a verb that is derived from this root and it means: To be received By The Front of Someone. This means, in essence, to be accepted since you receive what you accept by your front, rather than the back.
MINHA: From her (The self)
Note: The Her here points to word that is feminine and that word is SELF.
AAaDL:becoming Just
Note: The toot is AAa-D-L and it means to become just. AAaDL means becoming JUST/justice. Here, it means becoming just as in correcting themselves that day.
WALA: And not

يَابَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّي فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
Ya banee isra-eela othkurooniAAmatiya allatee anAAamtu AAalaykum waannee faddaltukumAAala alAAalameena

The AYA says:
“Oh Children of Israel, remember and mention the Favor that I have bestowed upon you, and that I have provided you more, above the rest of humanity.”

My personal note:
This is an important note here since it may deal with the issue of the Chosen people. What the AYAH says is that GOD Provided the Israelites more than the rest of humanity. This does not mean that they were or are better than the rest of humanity.


Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya banee isra-eela: Oh Children of Israel
Othkuroo: remember and mention
Note: The root here is TH-K-R and it means To mention and to remember. OTHKUROO is an order form of a verb that is derived of this same root. The Verb is ATHKAR and it means mention and remember (To yourselves and to others), and this means remember and mention. The concrete word in this root is THAKAR and it means male as opposed to female. It is believed that the relationship is that males keep the mentioning and the memory of the father because they keep the name. Also, the male is used to mean active. As if suggesting that the memory is an active process.
niAAmatiya: My Favor/My soft and tender treatment
Note: The root here is N-AAa-M and it means to become soft and tender. NIAAaMATI is a noun that is derived from the root and it means My Soft and Tender treatment, or my Favor, since the favor is a soft and tender treatment.
Allatee: That
anAAamtu: I made Favor/I made soft and tender
Note: This is of the same root as mentioned above. ANAAamatu is a first person singular of a past tense of a verb that is derived from the same root and that means I made Favor/I made Soft and Tender
AAalaykum: On you
Waannee: And that I
Faddaltukum: I made you have extra or more/I provided you more (of good)
Note: The root is F-D-L and it means To become Having extra of good as opposed to To having Less. FADDALTUKUM is a second person past tense of the verb FADDALA and it means To Make (someone, group of people) have extra/more of good. What more did they have? Probably of the number of prophets or so and GOD knows best.
AAala: Over
alAAalameena: The World/everyone/The rest of humanity
AAalameen is a derivative of the word AALM which comes from KNOWLEDGE. Therefore al AAalameen can mean (The knowns). One potential way of understanding the AAaLAMEEN here is the world that is known to the Israelites and those are the rest of the humanity.

الّذِينَ آتَـيْنَاهُمُ الكِتابَ يَتْلُونَهُ حَقَّ تِلاوَتِهِ أُولَئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَمَنْ يَكْفُرُ بِهِ فـاولَئِكَ هُمُ الـخاسِرُونَ
Allatheena ataynahumualkitaba yatloonahu haqqa tilawatihi ola-ikayu/minoona bihi waman yakfur bihi faola-ika humu alkhasiroona

The Aya says:
Those to whom we brought the book, they recite it and follow it the true abiding way of following it. Those make selves safe in it. And whoever covers (self) at it, therefore those are the loosers

My personal note:
The book is an interesting word. Here it says the book and is specified as the bood that was made to come to people. Book can be book, but it can be anything related to writing as in the process of writing, including knowledge, ideas,papers, pens and books. The book here is understood as the scriptures by most and that is correct. However, one can expand the understanding to the Qur’an, as well as any writing of true knowledge from GOD. True knowledge is to be understood as religious and non religious. This is because all true knowledge comes from GOD and all true knowledge leads to GOD.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Allatheena: Those that
Ataynahumu: WE made come to them/to whom WE made come/to whom WE brought
Note: the root os Hamza-T-W and it means to come with determination. ATAYNA is the frst person plural past tense of a verb that is derived from the root. This verb means We made come to. HUM means them
Alkitaba: The book/the process of writing (including all that is involoved in writing)

The book or process of writing that is talked about here is generally understood as the scriptures that include the holy bible and may include the Qur’an. In a wider sense, it may include all true knowledge that was written by man because all true knowledge came to man from GOD.
Yatloonahu: Follow it (in word and deed).
Note: The root is T-L-W and it means to follow closely. The concrete word TALU is the child of the animal after weaning because it is following the mother very closely. The word is used to mean follow closely, reading word by word as in reciting as well as applying the knowledge.
Haqqa: True and abiding
Note: the root is Ha-Qaf-Qaf and it means true and abiding at the same time. HAQQA is true and abiding.

وَقَالُواْ اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَداً سُبْحَانَهُ بَل لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ كُلٌّ لَّهُ قَانِتُونَ
The Aya says:
And they said: The GOD took to himself a child (probably male). Glorified is HE, but to him belongs what is in the heavens and the earth. All, to Him, Staying.

My pesonal Note:
This AYA is obviously a response to whomever claims that GOD has a child. The answer is that Glory is to GOD for to him everything belongs and everything stays.

Translation of the Transliterated words:
Waqaloo: And they said
Note: WA means and. QALOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means to say for the verb and saying for the noun. QALOO is the third person plural past tense of the verb.
Itakhatha: He took to himself
Note: the root is T-KH-TH and it means to take. ITTAKHATHA is the third person singular past tense of a verb that is derived from the root. This verb suggests taking to oneself.
Allahu: The GOD
Waladan: A child (probably male)/offspring
Note: the root is W-L-D and it means to give birth or to conceive. WALAD is the product of this conception or birth and that means Child. This child can be male or female. I think that it is a male because if the child was a female, then it would have been specified (I may be wrong).
Subhanahu: Glorified is he
Note: this is a word that is also used in the Hebrew bible and it is translated as Glory and so forth. The root is S-B-Ha and it means to swim or to float. I am not clear as to the relationship between the two meanings.
bal lahu: But to HIM belongs
ma fee: What is in
alssamawati: The aboves/the heavens
Note: the root is S-M-W and it means to rise. ALSAMAWAT is plural of SAMA’ and this word literally means the process that makes things rise and that is considered as the above itself or the roof or ceiling of anything.
waal-ardi: And the earth/the land
Note: this word means earth or land
Kullun: All
Lahu: To HIM
Qanitoona: Staying
Note: The root is Qaf-N-T and this is one of the most words to describe. According to Lisan Al Arab the origin of the word is Staying or standing at or close to something or someone for a long time. This meaning can get to the abstract of obeying/dedicated/prayer and silence as well as service. Please keep in mind that I may have made a mistake here.

The AYA says:
And the Jews said: the Christians are not on anything (of good). And said the Christians: the Jews are not on anything (of good), and they (both) recite and follow the book!! So said the people that don’t know similar to their (Christians and Jews) saying. So, the GOD will judge with utmost fairness between them on the day of judgemet in what they differed/diverged/discorded.

My personal note:
This AYA talks to all of us that we should not indulge on who is on any good (in direction) or not. For the judge is GOD. Indulging in such talk is similar to the talk of the people that lack knowledge. People of knowledge are not expected to indulge in such talk.

The Aya says:
No, but whoever dissociates his face (direction, reception, acceptance and whole) from bonds and from harm to (bond to) The GOD while causing goodness. So, he has his compensation at his nurturer's, and there is no fear on them and they will not become sad.

My personal note:
This AYA is of great importance because it touches what a Muslim is. According to my understanding here, It is the person that dissociates his/her direction/whole/reception/acceptance from bonds and from harm in order to bond to the GOD. Therefore it is a totally voluntary act of dissociation from the bonds that prevent us from doing so. It is also a dissociation from Harm and therefore a peaceful transition in all it’s aspects

Translation of the transliterated words:

وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتُواْ الزَّكَاةَ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لأَنْفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
Waaqeemoo alssalata waatooalzzakata wama tuqaddimoo li-anfusikum minkhayrin tajidoohu AAinda Allahi inna Allaha bimataAAmaloona baseerun

The Aya says:
And keep upright/maintian the SALAT (prayer/what makes you run towards GOD) and bring about the ZAKAT (what makes come the maturity, spiritual and otherwise through charity and other wise), and what you forward to yourself, you will find at the GOD’s. GOD indeed sees what you do.

My personal note:
This is an advice from GOD to all humanity that it needs to keep the two concepts of SALAT that is understood as prayer, but which can be looked at as something deeper and wider as the process that makes us run towards GOD, ZAKAT is understood as the obligatory charity, yet it too has to be understood in wider form and that it is what makes us grow and mature spiritually and otherwise. GOD, as always reminds us that he sees and knows what we do, and all the we do of good is remembered by GOD.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waaqeemoo: And make stand upright
Note: WA means And. AQEEMOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-M and it means to stand upright. AQEEMOO is an order to a group of people and it means to make stand upright abd therefore, it is an order to maintain something and doing It right.
Alssalata: The prayer/what makes you run towards GOD
Note: this is one of the words that are most difficult to explain. SALAT was present in Aramaic and it means prayer. In Arabic has the same meaning as well. In concrete terms SALA means the lower back of an animal. A horse that is Musalli is a horse that is racing towards the goal and whose head is approaching or overlapping the lower back of the horse ahead. This picture comes to mind when watching muslims pray in a congregation. In a sense then the Salat is what makes us run/race towards GOD.
Waatoo: And make come
Note: the root is Hamza-T-W and it means to come with determination. AATOO is an order that addresses the group of people and it means make come.
Alzzakata: What causes/makes maturity/growth (spiritually and otherwise)
Note: the root is Z-K-W and it means to grow/to mature in spiritual and other ways. ALZAKAT is what makes one mature or what causes maturity. This is understood as the obligatory charity which is true since it does help others grow materially and it also helps the giver spiritually in a win win situation.
Wama: And what/whatever
Tuqaddimoo: Put forward/forward
Note: the root is Qaf-D-M and it means foot for the noun and to foot for the verb. In abstract it means to become forward in time (as being earlier) or space (as being ahead). TUQADDIMOO is the second person plural present od future tense of a verb that is related to the root. This verb means make forward and that means put forward.
li-anfusikum: To yourselves
Note: LI means to. ANFUSIKUM is derived from the root N-F-S and it means to breath for the verb and breath for the noun. The abstract means self since the self breathes. ANFUS is the plural of self. KUM means plural you.
Min: of/From
Khayrin: Good/choice (which is considered good)
Note: the root is KH-Y-R and it means to chose and choice for the noun. KHYR means choice which is also understsood as good.
Tajidoohu: You find him/you will find him
Note: the root is W-J-D and it means to find for the verb and finding for the noun with the understanding that is a good. The concrete word is for the place where water accumulates which was considered a great finding for the arabs of the desert.

وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُم مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّاراً حَسَداً مِّنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِّن بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّ فَاعْفُواْ وَاصْفَحُواْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

The Aya says:
Many of the people of the book love to turn you back after your safety (in GOD) to covering (From GOD and his message), wishing from themselves that you loose the goodness after the right/truth had been clarified to them. So, forgive and turn away until the GOD comes/brings with his order. The GOD is capable of measuring and executing everything

My personal note:
This Aya emphasizes the forgiveness and the turning away from people that may wish us to loose the good that GOD provided us. It leaves open that an order may come from GOD to otherwise, in some specific circumstances. Absence of those circumstances will oblige us to always use this rule to any who wish us the loss of the good that GOD provided us.

Wadda: Loved/liked
Note: the root here is W-D-D and it means to love or to like. WADDA is the third person singular past tense of the verb

(Zoroastrians, hndus, budhists and so forth)
