3:93

Salaam all,

This is 3:93
كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِـلاًّ لِّبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلاَّ مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرَاةُ قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
Kullu alttaAAami kana hillan libanee israeela illa ma harrama israeelu AAala nafsihi min qabli an tunazzala alttawratu qul fatoo bialttawrati faotlooha in kuntum sadiqeena

The Aya says:
All the food was permitted to the children of Israel except what Israel made forbidden on himself before the Torah was sent down. Say (O Muhammad): then come with the Torah, then recite it if you were truthful.

My personal note:
This Aya touches on the food prohibitions in the Jewish religion and that it stemmed from what Jacob/ Israel made prohibited on himself before the Torah was sent.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Kullu: all
Note: the root is K-L-L and it means the parts put together. This is the concrete and it means all or every or each. KULLI means all.
alttaAAami: the food/ the eatables
Note: the root is TA-Ain-M and it means eating or tasting. This is the concept and the words are revolving around it. ALTTaAAaMI means the food or the eatables.
Kana: was/ happened to be
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KANA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (third personal singular). This in turn means: he were or he happened to be
Hillan: allowed/ permitted/ settled
Note: the root Ha-L-L and it means settling or resolving. The word is used to mean settling in a place, or untying a tangled knot and in matters of life to point to matters that are settled or resolved since arriving in a place means that the travel is now resolved. In religion, those matters that are settled/ resolved take the picture of the things that are either permitted or liked by God. HILLAN means permitted or allowed or settled.
Libanee: to children of
Israeela: Isreal/ Jacob
Illa: except
Ma: what
Harrama: He made forbidden
Note: the root is Ha-R-M and it means forbidding of violation or forbidden to violate. HARRAMA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of making an object (not declared but points to types of food) forbidden to violate happened by the subject (third person singular pointing to Isreal, coming up).
Israeelu: Israel/ Jacob
AAala: on
Nafsihi: Himself
Note: the root N-F-S and it means to breath. This is the concept and then it can extend to self or anything that breathes. NAFSI means self of, HI means him.
Min: from
Qabli: before
Note: the root Qaf-B-L and it means front. This is then carried in time or space or any plain of thought. If it is in time, then front means before, while place would be in front. It is used to mean acceptance and reception since we receive and accept using our fronts. QABLI here is front in time and that is before.
An: that
Tunazzala: was made to come down/ was made to arrive
Note: the root is N-Z-L and it carries the meaning of arrival to stay and descent. One concrete meaning is the descent of the person from his or her horse or camel as they arrive at the place where they plan to stay. TUNAZZALA is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of arrival or descent is being made to happen to the object (Alttawratu= the Torah) by an undeclared subject. Even though the tense of the action is happening, it attains the completed action that happened after another completed action because of the sentence.
Alttawratu: The Torah
Qul: say (O Muhammad)
Note: Note: the root is Qaf-W-L and it means saying. QUL is an order addressing a single person and it means: Say
Fatoo: then come
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. ATOO is derived from the root Hamza-T-Y and it means in concrete the water that comes from the rain of another land. In concrete it means the coming of something or someone with many of it’s implications. ATOO is an order addressing a group of people.
Bialttawrati: with the Torah/ by the torah
Note: Bi suggests that what comes after it is either an association with the action, a tool of the action or an object of the action or any combination of the three. If bi serves as an object of the action that it serves as an emphasis of the action. ALTTAWRATI is the Torah which is the book of Moses.
Faotlooha: then recite her/ then follow her closely
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. OTLOOHA is derived from the root T-L-W and it means following closely. The concrete word that is derived from the root is the baby animal after it had been weaned from the breast and who follows his mother everywhere closely. The word means the following closely and also reciting, because that involves following each word with another. OTLOO is an order to a group of people to recite or follow closely and both meanings are correct in this case. HA means here and it points to the Torah.
In: if
Kuntum: You (plural) 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.
Sadiqeena: truthful
Note: the root is Sad-D-Qaf and it means truth in word or deed as a concept. When it is in deed, it takes the shape of any act of truthfulness including charity. SADIQEENA means truthful.

Salaam all and have a great day.
