3:97

Salaam all,

This is 3:97
فِيهِ آيَاتٌ بَيِّـنَاتٌ مَّقَامُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمَن دَخَلَهُ كَانَ آمِنًا وَلِلّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ الله غَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ
Feehi ayatun bayyinatun maqamu ibraheema waman dakhalahu kana aminan walillahi AAala alnnasi hijju albayti mani istataAAa ilayhi sabeelan waman kafara fainna Allaha ghaniyyun AAani alAAalameena

The Aya says:
In him (the shelter/house) are clarifying signs, place of Abraham’s standing, and whoever entered him happened to be safe, and to Allah, on the people, pilgrimage to the shelter whoever was capable of the trip, and whoever rejected, then Allah, (is) verily, independent from all creation.

My personal note:
This continues the issues related to the house or shelter that was first put to the people. It says that it has clarifying or clear signs including the place of standing of Abraham as well as the safety that happened to whoever entered the house. It then continues that God has a right on the people to ask them to perform pilgrimage to the shelter if they were capable of the trip. Then it ends that those who reject, then Allah does not need them. It is always a reminder that we are dependant and needy of God, while He is free of any need.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Ayatun: signs
Note: the root is Hamza-Y-H and it means sign. AYATUN means signs.

Bayyinatun: clarifying

Hijju: pilgrimage to/ pursuit of
Note: the root is Ha-J-J and it means pursuit. This is in pursuit of some place or entity, usually for a higher goal as a proof or learning. There is also a sense that this pursuit may happen at appointed times and therefore may happen at a known repeat time. The term has been used for pilgrimage because, pilgrimage is a pursuit in one sense or another and it serves to help people find proofs and otherwise. HIJJU is the pursuit of or the pilgrimage to (which is a pursuit)
Albayti: the shelter/ the home/ the house
Note: the root is B-Y-T and it means to reach the night and BAYT is the place that you spend the night in. It is also used for any structure that can be used for that purpose and for animal dwellings. Therefore BAYT is closer to a shelter as the conceptual meaning and within that meaning falls the home or the house. ALBAYTI is the home or the shelter.
Mani: whoever

AAani: from/away from
Note: this word takes the meaning of from, but at times takes the meaning of away from and so on.
alAAalameena: all creation/ all
Note: the root is Ain-L-M and it means knowledge or knowing. ALAAaLAMEENA means the known or the knowns. Since, it is talking about God, who knows everything, then it is pointing to all creation as in everything everywhere and anywhere and so forth. There is a possibility that it is talking about humanity mainly, even though it can be more encompassing than that.
