2:268

Salaam all,

This is 2:268
الشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِالْفَحْشَاء وَاللّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةً مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلاً وَاللّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
Alshshaytanu yaAAidukumu alfaqra wayamurukum bialfahshai waAllahu yaAAidukum maghfiratan minhu wafadlan waAllahu wasiAAun AAaleemun

The Aya says:
Satan promises you the poverty/the need, and orders you to implement by/in/with the ugly words and deeds. And Allah promises you protective covering from Himself and abundance of good. And Allah (is) all encompassing, knowing.

My personal note:
ALFAQR is the Arabic word for poverty and it means the need. ALSHAYTAN is the Arabic name for Satan. In meaning, it means: the one who is distant or displaced from God and who works at displacing or distancing others. It is derived from the long rope that means something connected to it is far but also that can pull on what it is connected to move it away from it’s place.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Alshshaytanu: Satan/ the one that is displaced from God’s mercy and works on displacing others.
Note: the root is SH-Ta-N and it means in one of the concrete meanings the long rope and in another the long rope at the well that one uses to get the bucket out of the water. The term is used to mean far and away (in all the planes of thought) as the long rope and it is also used for displacement or pulling away, as a parallel to the rope the pulls the bucked out of the water. ALSHAITAN is the one who is far or away (from God’s mercy) and who works at pulling other away through his long “rope”. It is the word used from Satan.
yaAAidukumu: he promises you
Note: the root is W-Ain-D and it means promise. YaAAiDU is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of promising is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Satan) to the object KUM which means plural you.
Alfaqra: the poverty/ the need
Note: the root is F-Qaf-R and it means being in need or need. It is the word used for poverty. ALFAQRA means the poverty or the need.
Wayamurukum: and he orders you to implement
Note: WA means and. YAMURUKUM is derived from the root Hamza-M-R and it means order to implement. Sometimes the order component is stronger and at others, implement is stronger. YAMURU is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means: the order to implement is happening or will be happening by the subject (Third person singular pointing to Satan) to the object KUM which means plural you.
Bialfahshai: by/in/with the ugly word and deed/ the ugly word or deed.
Note: Bi suggests that the word that comes after is either a tool of action or an object of action or an association of action or any combination of the three. ALFAHSHAI is derived from the root F-Ha-SH and it means: the ugly word or deed or an word or deed that has exceeded the border of decency and appropriateness. The term is often used related to sexual acts, but it is not limited to it. ALFAHSHAI is the ugly word or deed.
waAllahu: And Allah/ And God
yaAAidukum: HE promises you
Note: the root is W-Ain-D and it means promise. YaAAiDU is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of promising is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to God) to the object KUM which means plural you.
Maghfiratan: protective covering/forgiveness
Note: MAGHFIRATAN is derived from the root GH-F-R and it means the helmet of the soldier in the battle. This one of the concrete words and the word is therefore used to mean protective covering in many fashions as in protecting the person from the error or protecting the person from the consequence of error and that is forgiveness. MAGHFIRATAN then can mean protective covering or forgiveness. Protective covering as a meaning encompasses forgiveness.
Minhu: from him
Wafadlan: and abundance of good
Note: WA means and. FADLAN is derived from the root F-Dhad-L and it means overflowing of good or remaining of goodness after one had fulfilled his needs. It can also mean abundance due to the same reason. FADLAN means: overflowing of good or provision of more goodness than is required to cover the needs so that there will remain more of it left. In here, I used abundance as the meaning.
waAllahu: and Allah/ And God
wasiAAun: All encompassing
Note: the root is W-S-Ain and it means the opposite of narrow or wide in a concrete and abstract meanings. It also means the ability to encompass within. WASiAAuN means wide means with the ability to encompass a lot. I chose all encompassing here as the meaning.
AAaleemun: All knowing
Note: the root is Ain-L-M and it means knowing or knowledge. AAaLEEMUN is the one that knows a lot, the all knowing

Salaam all and have a great day

Hussein
