الَّذِينَ قَالُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا أَلاَّ نُؤْمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتَّىَ يَأْتِيَنَا بِقُرْبَانٍ تَأْكُلُهُ النَّارُ قُلْ قَدْ جَاءكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِي بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَبِالَّذِي قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

The Aya says:
Those who said: Indeed Allah made us promise that not make ourselves trust in an envoy/messenger until he brings a sacrifice eaten by fire. Say (O Muhammad): indeed envoys came to you before me with the clarifiers including what you communicated, then why did you kill them if you (plural) happened to be truthful.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about the human psychology of asking for many conditions that seem to be impossible as a means for denial or rejection. The Aya here exposes such techniques

Translation of the transliterated words:
Allatheena: those who
Qaloo they said/ communicated
Note: QALOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying or communicating. QALOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the saying happened by the subject (third person plural).
Inna: indeed
Allaha: Allah
AAahida: demanded promise
Note: the root is Ain-H-D and it means a promise or a demand to promise or both. In here, it takes the meaning of a demand to promise. AAaHIDA is an action that is completed.

It is used to mean acceptance and reception since we receive and accept using our fronts. QABLEE here is front in time and that is before me.
Bialbayyinati: by/ with the clarifiers
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. ALBAYYINATI is derived from the route B-Y-N and it means between. This word then assumes many meanings as separation and distancing between two or more things.

ذَلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلاَّمٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِ
Thalika bima qaddamat aydeekum waanna Allaha laysa bithallamin lilAAabeedi

The Aya says:
That, by what forwarded your hands. And that Allah is not unjust to the slaves.

My personal note:
The word ABD means slave or servant. When a person is a slave of an entity, it is because of the enslaving entity having power over the slave. This power is either the power of love and devotion or the power of control. We are all God’s slaves because we either enslave ourselves through love and devotion, or otherwise. It is better to be the slave of God through love and devotion and that is the essence of worship.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Thalika: that
Bima: by what
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. MA means what
Qaddamat: they forwarded
Note: the root is Qaf-D-M and it means foot or the step forward. This is used conceptually in many occasions to point to moving forward or forwarding something and so on. QADDAMAT is an action that is completed. It means: the action of forwarding or putting forward happened by the subject (third person plural feminine pointing to Aydeekum= your hands).
Aydeekum: your hands
Note: the root is Y-D and it means hand. It is also used conceptually for anything that shares features or functions of hands. AYDEE means hands of. KUM means plural you.
Waanna: and that
Allaha: Allah
Laysa: not
Bithallamin: transgressing/ misplacing right and wrong/ unjust
Note: Bi in this location is for stressing what comes after it. THALLAMIN is derived from the root THA-L-M and it means darkness in the most concrete form. This word also takes the meaning of misplacing right from wrong and transgression since it is misplacing right from wrong and a decision made in darkness. THALLAMIN is the entity that misplaces right and wrong or unjust or transgresses. Here there is a stress in this statement.
lilAAabeedi: to the slaves/servants
Note: LI meant to or for, depending on the situation. ALAAaBEED is derived from the root Ain-B-D and it means slave or servant. ALAAaBEED means the slaves or the servants. In here, it points to all the creation because all are God’s slaves.

Laqad samiAAa Allahu qawla allatheena qaloo inna Allaha faqeerun wanahnu aghniyaon sanaktubu ma qaloo waqatlahumu alanbiyaa bighayri haqqin wanaqoolu thooqoo AAathaba alhareeqi

The Aya says:
Indeed, Allah heard the saying of those who said: Indeed Allah is needy and we are free of need. We shall collect/write what they said and their killing of the prophets without right, and We shall say: Taste the suffering of the burning.

My personal note:
The word Samiaaa has the meaning of hearing and comprehension at the same time. Therefore it carries both meanings. The Aya talks about those people who claimed that God is needy when God is never needy, while we are always in need of His mercy.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Laqad: indeed
samiAAa: He heard/ He heard and comprehended perfectly

Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after. This link is through inclusion, either one is included in the other or they are all included in the bigger sentence or bigger picture. WA is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. QATLA is derived from the root Qaf-T-L and it means killing or actions leading to death as in causing serious injury. QATLA is the killing of or the fatal injury of. HUMU means them.

And those who are stingy with what Allah brought them of His abundance should not calculate that it is good for them, but it is bad. On the Day of Judgment, their necks will be tightly surrounded by what they did not share. And to Allah belongs the inheritance of the heaven and the earth. And Allah is well informed of what you (plural) do.


My personal note:
This Aya has a strong message of sharing and generosity. It gives a strong message for those who are stingy. It gives the message that not sharing is worse for them than sharing. The imagery of the Day of Judgment when all what they did not share is brought around their necks is powerful.

The Aya reminds us that all belongs to God and when we die, all will return to God. No need for not sharing.

The Aya says:
And Allah would not leave the ones who make themselves safe on what you (plural) are upon until He distinguishes the doer of no good from the good doer. And Allah would not make you (plural) perceive the unperceived. But Allah collects/ chooses of His envoys whoever He wills. Therefore make yourselves safe in Allah and His envoys and if you make yourselves safe including act consciously, then to you (plural) belongs great compensation for action.

My personal note:
The term ma kana Allahu literally means: Allah not happened to be or Allah was not but that is not the actual usage of the term in Arabic. However, that structure would actually be used to mean: Allah would not, and that is how I translated it.

وَلاَ يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ لِّأَنفُسِهِمْ إِنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُواْ إِثْمًا وَلَهْمُ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ
Wala yahsabanna allatheena kafaroo annama numlee lahum khayrun lianfusihim innama numlee lahum liyazdadoo ithman walahum AAathabun muheenun

The Aya says:
And those who rejected should not count that what we make expanded for them (of time and space and others) is good for their own selves. We but expand for them in order that they are increased in sin. And to them belongs humiliating suffering.

My personal note:
This Aya gives an important lesson and that is when one has something expanded for them as in living a long productive life or owning lots of land or being very rich or owning lots of good things in life. Those should not always be taken as blessings or signs that the person is on the right path. They can be tests that when a person uses them for a wrong reason, they will turn into being curses.

So, here the example is given of people who reject the message. They are expanded in lots of things, but the example that is given in this Aya tells us that they will end up misusing it and then they will increase their rejection which sends them to humiliating suffering that deems them weightless and worthless.

This should not mean that any person who is blessed with long life or lots of provisions is one who will suffer, but only those who have them and reject God and his message. Those who are blessed with worldly goods and use them in God’s path are blessed in this life and the next. So are those who are blessed with worldly goods while being unbelievers and then become believers.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُاْ الْكُفْرَ بِالإِيمَانِ لَن يَضُرُّواْ اللّهَ شَيْئًا وَلهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Inna allatheena ishtarawoo alkufra bialeemani lan yadurroo Allaha shayan walahum AAathabun aleemun

The Aya says:
Verily, those who took the rejection in place of the safety (in Allah) will never harm Allah. And to them belongs painful suffering.

My personal note:
There is a great subtle message in this Aya. It suggests that the default for humans is the safety in Allah. Those who reject God are ones who gave up their default safety in Allah to receive the rejection and that is a loosing form of trade.

It also suggests that deep inside all of us humans, we have the urge, conscious or unconscious, to respond to God’s message. When we reject it, it is because of an active process of rejecting or silencing that deep urge.

Alternatively, the Aya may be talking about people who accepted the message and then rejected it. Both meanings are possible and are compatible with each other.

Inna: verily/ indeed
Allatheena: those who

وَلاَ يَحْزُنكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لَن يَضُرُّواْ اللّهَ شَيْئاً يُرِيدُ اللّهُ أَلاَّ يَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ حَظًّا فِي الآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
Wala yahzunka allatheena yusariAAoona fee alkufri innahum lan yadurroo Allaha shayan yureedu Allahu alla yajAAala lahum haththan fee alakhirati walahum AAathabun AAatheemun

The Aya says:
And the ones who hurry in the rejection should not sadden you (singular pointing to Muhammad pbuh). They indeed will never harm Allah a thing. Allah seeks not to make for them a grasped opportunity in the hereafter, and to them belongs great suffering.

My personal note:
This Aya reassures the prophet pbuh that no one will harm God through rejection.

It carries also the issue of God wanting them not to have an opportunity in the hereafter. This is the response to their rejection and not the intent of God from the beginning, therefore they bear the responsibility for this predicament that they put themselves in. It is also to be understood that this closure of opportunity is reversible whenever the person moves away from his/her rejection and into acceptance and safety in God.

The third issue here is that this is all in God’s knowledge and it is not up to humans to decide who of the other humans fall into this category, no matter how much animosity to Allah they showed. The great scholars of Islam always were in agreement never to condemn a particular person to Hell unless condemned by Allah in the Qur’an. The scholars condemn the actions that lead to Hell but they do not point to particular persons.

إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَاءهُ فَلاَ تَخَافُوهُمْ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Innama thalikumu alshshaytanu yukhawwifu awliyaahu fala takhafoohum wakhafooni in kuntum mumineena

The Aya says:
This is but Satan. He makes his protégés scare, therefore do not fear them, but fear me (Allah), if you happen to be ones who make themselves safe.


My personal note:
The term Satan makes his protégés scare has the double meaning of making them afraid and of making them scary to others. The Aya does give the order to the ones who make themselves safe not to fear any entity but Allah.

The fear of Allah is a theme that comes often in the Qur’an. It comes in the context of not fearing any other entity as in here. It also comes in other contexts. It is important to understand that the Qur’an talks about many issues related to relationships between creation and Allah, as in the fear of Allah, the reward of Allah, the mercy of Allah as well as the love of Allah. All those have to be taken together in order to arrive at the picture of the love for Allah that is purified from taking God for granted.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Innama: it is but
Thalikumu: that
Alshshaytanu: Satan
Note: the root is SH-Ta-N and it means 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.
Yukhawwifu: He makes fear
Note: the root is KH-W-F and it means fear or scare. YUKHAWWIFU is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making fear scare is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Satan) to the object (AWLIYAAHU= the ones he is guardian on). This Make scare or fear carries two potential meanings that are correct. It means that he makes them afraid and that he makes them scare others.
Awliyaahu: The ones on whom he is guardian/ the ones who chose him as guardian/ His protégés.
Note: the root is W-L-Y and it means direction or following direction with some guarantee. It comes close to guardianship. AWLIYAA are ones who have guardian as. HU means him. AWLIYAAHU takes the meaning the ones who chose him as guardian as the closest meansing
Fala: then not
Takhafoohum: you become afraid of them
Note: the root is KH-W-F and it means fear or scare. TAKHAFOO is an order for action addressed to a group of people. LA TAKHAFOO is an order that says: Do not be afraid of/ do not become scared of. HUM means them.
Wakhafooni: and fear me/ but fear me
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after. This link is through inclusion, either one is included in the other or they are all included in the bigger sentence or bigger picture. WA is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. In this sentence, it takes the meaning of but. KHAFOONI is derived from the root KH-W-F and it means fear or scare. KHAFOO is an order for action addressed to a group of people. KHAFOO is an order that says: fear/ become scared of. NI means me.
In: if
Kuntum: you happened to be/ you were
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KUTUM is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (second person plural). This in turn means: You (plural) were or you happened to be.
Mumineena: ones who make themselves safe

The Aya says:

Therefore they were transformed by softness from Allah, and abundance of good. No harm touched them, and they joined and followed Allah’s loving acceptance. And Allah is (the) one of great abundance.

My personal note:

The Aya continues the theme. It reassures us that those who join and follow God’s path and do well, including acting according to consciousness of Allah, will be transformed in a great way. This is a transformation that brings people closer to God.

It can also mean abundance due to the same reason. FADLIN 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.

الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُواْ لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَاناً
وَقَالُواْ حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Allatheena qala lahumu alnnasu inna alnnasa qad jamaAAoo lakum faikhshawhum fazadahum eemanan waqaloo hasbuna Allahu waniAAma alwakeelu

The Aya says:
Those who were told by the people: the people have indeed gathered against you, therefore anticipate/ fear them, so he increased their safety (in Allah), and they responded: Allah is enough for us, and the best to be entrusted with guardianship and guarantee.

My personal note:
The term “He increased their safety” is the literal translation of the term. I kept it the same to keep open the meaning of He, since it is not limited by the text. He can point to Allah. It also can point to what they were told by the people and it can point to both. This is rather common in the Qur’an where more than one understanding is possible. As long as the potential understandings are correct and correspond with the context and as long as they are not contradictory to the rest of the message, then they are considered correct and binding.

This gives the Qur’an a much wider range of meanings than the size of the book itself suggests and this makes for it’s great literary and spiritual and practical values.

Allatheena: those who
Qala: they said/ they communicated

The Aya says:
Those who responded to Allah and the envoy/messenger after the sore wound hit them. To those who made goodness amongst them including acted according to consciousness (of Allah) (is) great compensation.

My personal note:
This Aya is an extension of the previous one. It defines the people who made themselves safe in Allah who were promised glad tidings. It defines them as the people who responded to the calling from Allah and His messenger after they were hit with the sore wound, including making beauty (of all it’s angles) happen and acting according to the consciousness of Allah.

The Aya says:
They seek/ receive glad tidings of softness from Allah, and abundance of good. And that Allah does not make (the) compensation for work of the ones who make themselves safe (in Him) lost.

The Aya says:
And do not think (O Muhammad) that those who were killed in the path of Allah dead, but living at presence of their Nurturing Lord, being provided.

The Aya says:
And in order that He (Allah) knows for fact those who hid rejection while projecting belief and was said to them: Come fight in path of Allah or defend. They responded: have we known fighting we would have joined and followed you. That day they were closer to rejection than safety (in Allah). They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts and minds, while Allah knows better what they suppress.

My personal notes:
NAFAQOO is a term used for hypocrites or anyone who hides something while projecting another. It is also used at times for people who may have some Iman= safety in Allah, but also hiding some element of rejection of God’s message or part of it. In here, it mentions that those people are somewhere in between, but at that moment they were closer to rejection.
