3:138

Salaam all,

This is 3:138
هَـذَا بَيَانٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
Hatha bayanun lilnnasi wahudan wamawAAithatun lilmuttaqeena

The Aya says:
This (is) clarifying to the people, including guidance and advice to the ones who act consciously.

My personal note:
It mentions that this book, the Qur’an acts as clarifier to the people and is included within that meaning guidance and advice.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Hatha: this
Bayanun: clarifying
Note: the root is B-Y-N and it means between. This word then assumes many meanings as separation and distancing between two or more things. It also carries the meaning of clarification between two things. Here, it adopts the meaning of clarification. BAYANUN means clarifying.
Lilnnasi: to the people/ to the society
Note: LI means to. ALNNASI is derived from the root the root is Hamza-N-S and it means socializing. ALNNASI are the society or the people.
Wahudan: and guidance/ and gift/ including guidance/including gift
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. HUDAN is derived from the root H-D-Y and it means gift in all it’s forms and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. HUDAN means guidance and it could mean gift as well.
wamawAAithatun: and advice
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. MAWAAiTHATUN is derived from the root W-Ain-THA and it means advice or advising. MAWAAiTHATUN means advice.
Lilmuttaqeena: To the ones who make themselves act consciously/ act according to heightened consciousness.
Note: LI means to or for. ALUTTAQEEN is derived from the root W-Qaf-W and it means guarding or protecting. Since the best way to guard is through consciousness and action according to consciousness. ALMUTTAQEEN are those who make themselves act according to consciousness or with heightened consciousness.

Salaam all and have a great day.

Hussein
