فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن صَدَّ عَنْهُ وَكَفَى بِجَهَنَّمَ سَعِيرًا
Faminhum man amana bihi waminhum man sadda AAanhu wakafa bijahannama saAAeeran

The Aya says:
Therefore, amongst them who made themselves safe in him, and amongst them who blocked from him, and sufficient by Hell, a place of intense heat.

My personal note:
The “them” in here is continuing the context of the previous Aya and it points to the people or family of Abraham. It points that some of them made themselves safe in him (Abraham or his book or his path or all) and others blocked that path, where they end up in Hell.

In a sense there are several messages here. One is that the descendants of Abraham are not exempt from following his message. Two is that while the descendants of Abraham as Jews and Christians may have fallen into the error of blocking his path at times, the same can happen to the descendants of Abraham who are the Muslims. Therefore it is a reminder to all, to follow Abraham’s path and make themselves safe in it.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Faminhum: so amongst them (pointing to the people of Abraham)
Man: who
Amana: made himself safe
Note: the root Hamza-M-N and it means safety. Conceptually, it can also be extended to trust as well, because we feel safe in the entity we trust. AMANA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making oneself safe is happened by the subject (third person singular).
Bihi: in him
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. HI means him and it points to either Abraham in the previous Aya or the book and the wisdom which came to Abraham and the prophets after him. Both are possible, although the book and wisdom covers Abraham and all other prophets, including Muhammad, may peace be upon all of them.
Waminhum: and amongst them
Man: who
Sadda: blocked/ tightened
Note: the root is Sad-D-D and it means in concrete when the clapping of the hands or the expression of puss when the skin is squeezed opposite itself. Therefore, the concept carries the meaning of something opposite something or something blocking something or tightening on something as in squeezing it and making it difficult to proceed. SADDA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of blocking and tightening.
AAanhu: from him
Note: this word takes the meaning of from, but at times takes the meaning of away from and so on. HU means the book and wisdom or Abraham of his path and all are mutually inclusive.
Wakafa: and sufficient
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 often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. KAFA is derived from the root K-F-W and it means meeting the challenge or the need in any way as in having done enough to meet that challenge and so forth. In this context, it takes the meaning of being sufficient.
Bijahannama: in Hell/ by Hell
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. JAHANNAMA is thought to be a word borrowed from another language, probably Hebrew and it is the name for hell. There is a use of the word in Arabic in concrete to point to a well that is very deep and difficult to reach it’s water, or that it would be a difficult fall in case one falls in it, they cannot come out.
saAAeeran: place of intense heat
Note: the root is S-Ain-R and it means heat of an entity. This is concrete and then it can be taken conceptually to apply to price of entities as well as activities according to the context of the sentence. SaAAeeRAN is the place of intense heat and that is Hell.

Salaam all and have a great day.

أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَا آتَاهُمُ اللّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ فَقَدْ آتَيْنَآ آلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَآتَيْنَاهُم مُّلْكًا عَظِيمًا
Am yahsudoona alnnasa AAala ma atahumu Allahu min fadlihi faqad atayna ala ibraheema alkitaba waalhikmata waataynahum mulkan AAatheeman

The Aya says:
Or do they envy, with contempt, the people for what Allah gave them of His bounty?! Then indeed we have given the people of Abraham, the book and the wisdom, and we gave them great authority.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the theme of the previous Ayat. It mentions that if there is envy because God has given the Qur’an to other than the people of the book (Christians and Jews) then they should not have it, because the people of Abraham were given the book, the wisdom and great authority or kingship.

The term AAL IBRAHIM means the people of Abraham or the family Abraham. It points to any one who uses Abraham as the reference. This term will then cover his family as in his descendants, but in it’s widest range, it also covers anyone who followed the footsteps of Abraham, as in following his message and the message of those who came after him, on the same path. In the Islamic usage, the descendants of Abraham are all of them and not one branch over another.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Am: Or?!
Note: this means or, but in a question mark form and some irony as well.
Yahsudoona: they envy with contempt/ they wish the disappearance of the good.
Note: The root is Ha-S-D and it means to wish that someone loses the good that he/she possesses. Conceptually, it is used for envy and contempt at the same time. YAHSUDOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of envying the object (alnnasa= the people) with contempt is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).
Alnnasa: the people / the society
Note: ALNNASI is derived from the root Hamza-N-S and it means socializing. ALNNAS are the society/the people.
AAala: on/ upon
Ma: what
Atahumu: He brought them/ He gave them
Note: ATAHUMU is derived from the root Hamza-T-Y and it means in concrete the water that comes from the rain of another land. In a conceptual manner, it means the coming of something or someone with many of it’s implications. ATA is an action that was completed. It means: the action of making an object (min fadlihi= his abundance) come to another object (humu= them) happened by the subject (first person singular pointing to Allah).
Allahu: Allah
Mina: from

Fadlihi: His bounty/ His favor/ His abundance
Note: the root is F-Dhad-L and it means overflowing of good or being able to fulfill all your needs from an entity and then still have more of it spared. It can also mean abundance due to the same reason. FADLI means: overflowing of good of or provision of more goodness than is required to cover the needs so that there will remain more of it left.

ALA means: people who ultimately resort to the word that comes next. I shortened it to people of. They could be family of or the people that consider him their ultimate source and order and so forth.
Ibraheema: Abraham
Alkitaba: the book/ the collection of facts
Note: the root K-T-B and it means putting things together as in grouping the herd together or closing the lips or writing (the most common use), because in writing, one puts the letters and the ideas together. ALKITABA means, the process of writing or the book or anything related to it from the ideas to the ink and paper to the place where all is put together. In a bigger sense, it carries the meaning of the collection of facts.
Waalhikmata: and the wisdom/ including the wisdom/ application
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 often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. AlHIKMATA is derived from the root Ha-K-M and it means rule or judge or to reach the best ruling using the best tools possible including knowledge, compassion and justice. One concrete word is the steer that steers the animals. The relationship is that the steer helps move the animal in the best direction that the steerer wants. ALHIKMATA is often translated as the wisdom and that would be the arrival at the best steering judgment or best application or both.
Waataynahum: and we gave them/ and we made come to them/ and we brought them
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.

AAatheeman: great
Note: the root is Ain-TH-M and it means great/hard/strong. The concrete word is AAaTHM and that is the bones or the hard/strong/firm core of things. AAaTHEEM means great.

أَمْ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُلْكِ فَإِذًا لاَّ يُؤْتُونَ النَّاسَ نَقِيرًا
Am lahum naseebun mina almulki faithan la yutoona alnnasa naqeeran

The Aya says:
Or, do they have a portion of the authority?! So then they will not give the people a tiny bit.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the same theme. It questions with irony the people who make the previous claims. It asks whether they have a portion of the authority of God or the kingship of God, so as to make such a claim?! The answer is a big no. The Aya then continues in explaining, that if they did have a portion of that authority, then they will be very stingy so as not to give, not even the tiniest bit.

There is a suggestion that part of the rejection of the message is through not sharing the goodness with others, whether that goodness is knowledge or belongings.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Am: Or?!
Note: this means or, but in a question mark form and some irony as well.
Lahum: to them belongs
Naseebun: A part/ A portion
Note: The root is N-Sad-B and it means something elevated that it can be seen. It then can take many other meanings as in pursuit of something elevated, uphill or difficult and tiring effort and a worshipped stature since it is usually elevated or pursued. NASEEB is used to mean a portion or part of something. When one places an entity on an elevated area, then it is ready to be picked by some and that may be the relation to portion to be picked and so on
Mina: of
Almulki: the authority/ the kingship
Note: the root is MLK and it means ownership or authority over something. One concrete meaning is the fruit when it becomes strong and held together. Conceptually MULK has the meaning of holding things together in a strong bond and with authority over it. ALMULK means the authority or the kingship.
Faithan: So then
La: not
Yutoona: they give/ they make come to
Note: the root is Hamza-T-Y and it means coming with determination. The concrete word is for the water that flows in a place where it did not rain, therefore suggesting that the water came from somewhere else. YUTOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making come or giving is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural) to the object (alnnasa= the people) of another object (naqeeran= tiny bit) .
Alnnasa: the people / the society
Note: ALNNASI is derived from the root Hamza-N-S and it means socializing. ALNNAS are the society/the people.
Naqeeran: a tiny opening/ tiny bit

أُوْلَـئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّهُ وَمَن يَلْعَنِ اللّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ نَصِيرًا
Olaika allatheena laAAanahumu Allahu waman yalAAani Allahu falan tajida lahu naseeran

The Aya says:
Those are the ones whom Allah had distanced from His mercy. And Whoever Allah expels from His mercy then you (singular) will never find for a him a supporter.

My personal note:
This Aya continues the theme of the previous one. It basically says that having safety in false beliefs and false worship leads to being expelled from God’s mercy. Being expelled from God’s mercy is the worst thing that can happen to a person. He is left with no support at all, since all support comes from God, directly or indirectly.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Olaika: those
Allatheena: the ones who
laAAanahumu: He distanced them/ He expelled them from mercy
Note: the root is L-Ain-N and it means distancing or expelling. It is used to mean curse in the form of distancing or expelling from nearness or mercy. The concrete word is scarecrow because it keeps away or at a distance the undesirable birds from the field. LaAAaNAHUMU is an action that is completed. It means that the action of expelling from mercy or distancing of the object (humu= them) happened by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah).
Allahu: Allah
Waman: and who/ whomever
yalAAani: He distances from mercy/ He expels from mercy/ He curses
Note: the root is L-Ain-N and it means distancing or expelling. It is used to mean curse in the form of distancing or expelling from nearness or mercy.

Allahu: Allah
Falan: then never
Tajida: will you (singular) find
Note: the root is W-J-D and it means in one concrete meaning the water that has accumulated in the desert. This is then used to mean a find that is really important. TAJIDA is an action that is derived from the root. It means: the action of finding is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular) to the object (lahu= to him or for him.).
Lahu: to him/ for him
Naseeran: a supporter
Note: the root N-Sad-R and it means aid or help at a time of need. NASEERA means: supporter or helper at the time of need.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبًا مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَؤُلاء أَهْدَى مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ سَبِيلاً
Alam tara ila allatheena ootoo naseeban mina alkitabi yuminoona bialjibti waalttaghooti wayaqooloona lillatheena kafaroo haolai ahda mina allatheena amanoo sabeelan

The Aya says:
Have you (singular) not seen to those who were given a portion of the book, they make themselves safe in false belief and transgressing worship?! And they say about those who rejected (Allah’s message): “Those (the rejecters) have a better guided path than the ones who made themselves safe (in Allah)”.

My personal note:
This Aya informs the followers of the Qur’an that some of the ones who followed the scriptures before us fell in false beliefs and worshipped false Gods in one way or another. They may have at times considered the rejecters of God and His message as better than the ones who have safety in Him. This is related to an incident where some of the people of the book of the time of the prophet told the rejecters that their religion is better than the religion that came with Muhammad (pbuh).
However, there is another message that is very important. Just as the ones who were given the book before us fell into this form of grave error, we may fall into this same error, consciously or unconsciously. We have to keep our guard up to maintain correct belief and worship and correct perspective.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Alam: did not?!
Note: this is a question form that brings the attention of the listener to what is being asked.
Tara: You (singular) see?

It then means literally: they were brought/something was made to come to them.
Naseeban: A part/ A portion
Note: The root is N-Sad-B and it means something elevated that it can be seen. It then can take many other meanings as in pursuit of something elevated, uphill or difficult and tiring effort and a worshipped stature since it is usually elevated or pursued. NASEEB is used to mean a portion or part of something. When one places an entity on an elevated area, then it is ready to be picked by some and that may be the relation to portion to be picked and so on
Mina: of

ALKITABA means, the process of writing or the book or anything related to it from the ideas to the ink and paper to the place where all is put together.
Yuminoona: they make themselves safe/ they trust

It is used to point to entities that are followed or worshipped by people for no benefit, such as idols, magic and astrology.
Waalttaghooti: and transgressing worship/ including transgressing worship/
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 often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. ALTTAGHOOTI is derived from the root TTa-Ghain-Y and it means overwhelming to bad effect. It is used for the flood waters when they cause damage and destruction and so forth in the concrete sense and for any matter that overwhelms and leads to bad effects. ALTTAGHOOT points to the big matters that lead to bad effects. This can mean the idols that people worship or the leaders who actively fight God and his message.
Wayaqooloona: and they say/and they say/ communicate
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after.

انظُرْ كَيفَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللّهِ الكَذِبَ وَكَفَى بِهِ إِثْمًا مُّبِينًا
Onthur kayfa yaftaroona AAala Allahi alkathiba wakafa bihi ithman mubeenan

The Aya says:
Watch how they concoct the untruth upon Allah, and sufficient by it (the concocted untruth) as self revealing injustice/sin.

My personal note:
One thing that I get out of this is how untruth can clearly be evident as untruth and how it can self reveal it’s untruthfulness. It may even make the truth clearer to those who have clear and unbiased minds.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Onthur: watch/ look/ observe
Note: ONTHUR is derived from the root N-THa-R and it means seeing/observing/watching with one side of the meaning stronger than the others according to the situation. At times it means giving reprieve or giving time to correct things and that stems from the observing/watching as if it is time of observation/watching. ONTHUR is a request or demand addressed to an individual. It means: watch, look, observe
Kayfa: how
Yaftaroona: they concoct/ they make up
Note: the root is F-R-W and it means the furr or the animal or the skin that is normally covered with hair. This word is used when people are concocting things and making things up that are not true. It could be related to the action of cutting the skin apart or making things up as in making a dress out of the skin and so forth. YAFTAROONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of concocting or making up untruths is being made to happen or will be made to happen by the subject (third person plural) for themselves.
AAala: upon
Allahi: Allah
Alkathiba: the untruth
Note: the root is K-TH-B and it means a untrue. Conceptually, it can be extended at times to mean a lie, although the core of the meaning is untruth, whether it is a lie or not, conscious or not. ALKATHIBA means the untruth.
Wakafa: and sufficient
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 often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. KAFA is derived from the root K-F-W and it means meeting the challenge or the need in any way as in having done enough to meet that challenge and so forth. In this context, it takes the meaning of being sufficient.
Bihi: with him/ in him/ by him
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. HI means him and it points to what they concocted of untruth.
Ithman: sin/ injustice
Note: the root is Hamza-TH-M and it means breaking of rule or rules of justice. This means error or fault with a tinge of knowing it. ITHM is the breaking of the rule or the law or the error or the fault and it fits closely with sin when knowing that it is sin. It is also injustice.
Mubeenan: clear/ revealing itself and others (sin or injustice)
Note: the root is B-Y-N and it means in concrete between. The action of the verb is betweening. This betweening can mean clarifying because one can know better the difference between two things. It also can mean distancing because the betweening makes things become apart. MUBEEN is the one that makes between in a conceptual sense. In this context, ITHMAN MEBEEN carries the meaning of clear state of breaking of justice or self revealing as being injustice or great sin.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ بَلِ اللّهُ يُزَكِّي مَن يَشَاء وَلاَ يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلاً
Alam tara ila allatheena yuzakkoona anfusahum bali Allahu yuzakkee man yashao wala yuthlamoona fateelan

The Aya says:
Do you (singular) not see to those who declare fruitfulness to themselves?! But instead, Allah makes fruitful whoever He wills. And they will not be treated unjustly by a trace.

My personal note:
The Aya looks skeptically at people who become full of themselves and declare themselves to be mature and pure and fruitful. The Aya reminds us that Allah is the one who declares us fruitful or not. He is also the one who helps us become fruitful and mature and pure. The Aya reminds us of God’s extreme justice so that we will never claim that God made some pure and others not pure, out of injustice. God is always, Just, Wise and Merciful to all his creation.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Alam: did not?!
Note: this is a question form that brings the attention of the listener to what is being asked.
Tara: You (singular) see?
Note: the root R-Hamza-Y and it means viewing or seeing. TARA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of vision is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular). ALAM TARA takes the meaning of : Did you not see?
Ila: to
Allatheena: those who
Yuzakkoona: claim fruitfulness/ maturity
Note: the root is Z-K-W and it means maturing/growing. In the concrete it means bringing about fruit. YUZAKKOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making the object (ANfusahum= themselves) bear fruit is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural and it is the same as the object). The “Making bear fruit” carries the potential meaning of claiming to be bearing fruit or mature, or working on it. The context here is pointing to the people who claim that they are mature or bearing fruit, rather than the ones who work on becoming so.
Anfusahum: themselves
Note: ANFUS is derived from the root N-F-S and it means to breath but is extended to mean self since the self breathes and that defines her existence. ANFUSA is a noun that is derived from this root and it means Selves of. HUM means them.
Bali: but instead
Allahu: Allah

Note: the root is Z-K-W and it means maturing/growing. In the concrete it means bringing about fruit. YUZAKKEE is an action that is being completed or will be completed.

The context here carries both meanings with particular response to the declaring or claiming maturity to people.
Man: whoever
Yashao: He wills/ He entities
Note: the root is SH-Y-Hamza and it means entity for noun and to entity for the action. This means making a non entity become an entity, which also means making what was impossible possible, or what was non existent, existent or what was un-allowed allowed, and so forth. YASHAO is an action that is related to the root that is being completed or will be completed. It means: The entity is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular and points to God).
wala: and not
Yuthlamoona: be transgressed against/will be treated unfairly

It means: the action of being transgressing is happening or will be happening by the subject (undisclosed) to the object (third person plural). “Wala Yuthalmoon” in turn means: they will not be transgressed against or they will not be treated unfairly.
Fateelan: a trace
Note: the root is F-T-L and it means rubbing one finger opposite another, either to twist a thread or rope or to remove some dirt or otherwise. FATEEL is the product of that and it can be a thin twisted rope or the trace dirt that comes out. Conceptually, in this situation, it points to trace or very little.

إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاء وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرَى إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا
Inna Allaha la yaghfiru an yushraka bihi wayaghfiru ma doona thalika liman yashao waman yushrik biAllahi faqadi iftara ithman AAatheeman

The Aya says:
Indeed, Allah does not forgive that He be worshiped along with partners. And he forgives what is short of that to whomever He wills. And whoever worships partners with Allah then indeed, he concocted a great injustice.

My personal note:
I translated YUSHRAKA BIHI as being worshiped with partners. Literally, it gets a meaning of “He is made to partner with”. Worship is used here in the widest range of meaning as “dealing with an entity while being awed by it, knowing that your acts of worship should be directed at it, that your existence depends on it, and that help comes from it”. Those feelings and the acts that stem from those feelings should be only for God. In this is the meaning of the word ALLAH as the one worthy of worship.

The Aya continues that worshipping God along with partners is the greatest injustice, which God does not forgive, except when one leaves that belief and moves to monotheism.

The other issue is the issue of "whoever He wills". The message here is that the "whoever He wills" is determined by God's mercy, justice and wisdom.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ آمِنُواْ بِمَا نَزَّلْنَا مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّطْمِسَ وُجُوهًا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَى أَدْبَارِهَا أَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَّا أَصْحَابَ السَّبْتِ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللّهِ مَفْعُولاً
Ya ayyuha allatheena ootoo alkitaba aminoo bima nazzalna musaddiqan lima maAAakum min qabli an natmisa wujoohan fanaruddaha AAala adbariha aw nalAAanahum kama laAAanna ashaba alssabti wakana amru Allahi mafAAoolan

The Aya says:
O those who were given the book, make yourselves safe in what we brought down, making true to what is with you (plural), before we harshly cover faces, therefore we repel them on their behind, or we distance them (from us) as we distanced the companions of the Sabath. And the implement/ order of Allah happened to be done.


My personal note:
This Aya continues the theme of the previous one. It now communicates with the people of the book, where the text seems to suggest Jews and Christians. It asks them to make themselves safe in what came down, as it makes true what they have. “Making true” carries the meaning of declaring something as truth. It may also potentially carry the meaning of correcting the potential untruth that may be contained in it.
The Aya, as it calls for the acceptance in calmness, also carries a warning of tough consequences, mainly the distancing from God, which is the worst thing that can happen to anyone.
The Aya points to what happened to the “companions of the Sabath”. This is pointing to Aya 2:65 in which God punished the people who broke the rule of the Sabath amongst the Israelites.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya ayyuha allatheena: O those who
Note: the three words used here are callings.
Ootoo: were given/ were brought
Note: the root is Hamza-T-Y and it means coming with determination.

It then means literally: they were brought/something was made to come to them.
Alkitaba: the book

Amino: make yourselves safe/ trust
Note: the root Hamza-M-N and it means safety. Conceptually, it can also be extended to trust as well, because we feel safe in the entity we trust. AMINO is an order or a request addressing a group of people. It means: make yourselves safe or make yourselves trust.

The Aya says:
Amongst those who were Jewish (some) who edge the statements away from it’s place and they say: we comprehended and we disobeyed and you (singular) listen, not listened to, and you (singular) pay us attention, twisting with their tongues, and stabbing in the religion. And if they said: We comprehended and we obeyed and you (singular) listen and watch over us, then it would have been better for them and more upright. But Allah distanced them from his mercy by their rejection, so they do not make themselves safe (in Him), if not a little.

My personal statement:
The Aya starts with amongst, which points to the fact that it covers some Jews while not covering others, therefore avoiding generalization. According to the books of Tafsir, it relates a response to the message of the prophet by some of the Jews of Medina. The Aya then goes about the statements of that group which are considered wrong. The Aya mentions the issue of Tahrif, which I translated as edging of the statement from it’s place. This could be by playing with the words or playing with the meanings of the words.

The Aya continues with the very complex statement that was said by a group of the Jews of Medina to the prophet (pbuh). The three words that were contestable are “We disobeyed”. The Aya mentioned the preferred one “We obeyed”. Muslims Like others, disobey, but the important is the intention to obey rather than the intention to disobey as in the statement from that group. The other contested word is “RaAAiNA= pay us attention/ treat us preferentially” and the preferred term is “onthurna= watch over us”, also mentioned later in the Aya. The third word is “GHAYRA MUSMAaiN= not listened to and not listening at the same time” and it was addressing the prophet. There was no alternative in the Aya for this because that statement is an attack at the person of the prophet (pbuh).

The end of the Aya was “They do not make themselves safe in Allah, if not a little”. The meaning of this is that the extent of their “Iman= Safety in Allah” ranges from absence to just a little. Basically saying “if there is not a little, then there is nothing.”

Translation of the transliterated words:
Mina: from/ amongst
Allatheena: those who
Hadoo: became Jewish/ were Jewish
Note: the root is H-W-D and it means repentance and return to God. It is used mainly to point to Judaism, often specifically. HADOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of becoming Jewish happened by the subject (third person plural).

It means: the action of edging the object (alkalim= the word/ statement) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). In this context, the “edging “of the word takes the meaning of pushing the word off the edge. This can be due to changing some of it’s letters, or changing the meaning of the word, so that it becomes derailed and off it’s edge in both instances.
Alkalima: the statements/ the words
Note: the root K-L-M and it means wound or opening of the skin and that is the concrete word.

The aya continues the previous theme. It reiterates that Allah is more knowing of the enemies of his people. It then reiterates that the best guardian and supporter a person could have, is God. This is a reminder, that no matter how tempting having another guardian and supporter is, God remains the best and that is one essence of monotheism in action.

Translation of the transliterated words:
WaAllahu: and Allah/ while Allah
aAAlamu: more knowing/ better knowing
Note: the root is Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. aAALAMU is the one who has more or better knowledge.
biaAAdaikum: of your (plural) enemies/ in your enemies
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. aAADAIKUM is derived from the root Ain-D-W and it means running or overstepping boundaries since the running is a form of overstepping a boundary. aAADAI in this context means enemies of, KUM means plural you.
Wakafa: and sufficient
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 often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. KAFA is derived from the root K-F-W and it means meeting the challenge or the need in any way as in having done enough to meet that challenge and so forth. In this context, it takes the meaning of being sufficient.
biAllahi: by Allah/ in Allah
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. ALLAH is Allah
Waliyyan: guardian
Note: the root is W-L-Y and it means direction or following direction with some guarantee. It comes close to guardianship. WALIYYAN is either the one who is a guardian or the one who receives guardianship of another or both. In this context, it takes the meaning of guardian, because God is always a guardian and not a receiver of guardianship of others.
Wakafa: and sufficient
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 often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. KAFA is derived from the root K-F-W and it means meeting the challenge or the need in any way as in having done enough to meet that challenge and so forth. In this context, it takes the meaning of being sufficient.
biAllahi: by Allah/ in Allah
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. ALLAH is Allah
Naseeran: supporter
Note: the root N-Sad-R and it means aid or help at a time of need. NASEERA means: supporter or helper at the time of need.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبًا مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ يَشْتَرُونَ الضَّلاَلَةَ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَن تَضِلُّواْ السَّبِيلَ
Alam tara ila allatheena ootoo naseeban mina alkitabi yashtaroona alddalalata wayureedoona an tadilloo alssabeela

The Aya says:
Have you (singular pointing to Muhammad) not seen to those who were brought a portion of the book, they buy the misguidance and they seek that you (plural) loose the path (to guidance)?!

My personal note:
The aya points to some of the people of the book buying or taking misguidance and then wishing that others do the same.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Alam: did not?!
Note: this is a question form that brings the attention of the listener to what is being asked.
Tara: You (singular) see?
Note: the root R-Hamza-Y and it means viewing or seeing. TARA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of vision is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular). ALAM TARA takes the meaning of : Did you not see?

Ootoo: were given/ were brought
Note: the root is Hamza-T-Y and it means coming with determination. The concrete word is for the water that flows in a place where it did not rain, therefore suggesting that the water came from somewhere else. OOTOO is a completed action that is derived from the root. It means: the action of coming happened to the object (third person plural) by an undisclosed subject. It then means literally: they were brought/something was made to come to them.
Naseeban: A part/ A portion
Note: The root is N-Sad-B and it means something elevated that it can be seen. It then can take many other meanings as in pursuit of something elevated, uphill or difficult and tiring effort and a worshipped stature since it is usually elevated or pursued. NASEEB is used to mean a portion or part of something. When one places an entity on an elevated area, then it is ready to be picked by some and that may be the relation to portion to be picked and so on
Mina: of
Alkitabi: the book
Note: the root K-T-B and it means putting things together as in grouping the herd together or closing the lips or writing (the most common use), because in writing, one puts the letters and the ideas together. ALKITABA means, the process of writing or the book or anything related to it from the ideas to the ink and paper to the place where all is put together.
Yashtaroona: they buy to themselves/ they take in exchange

It means: the action of taking an object (Aldalalata= the misguidance) in exchange for an undeclared object (understood to be the guidance) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).
Alddalalata: the misguidance/ the lost path
Note: the root is Dhad-L-L and it means getting lost as in lost the road or losing something. ALDDALALATA is the state or the act of being lost/ misguided.
Wayureedoona: and they seek/ want
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 often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. YUREEDOONA is derived from the root R-W-D and it means in concrete the person that goes ahead of the people looking for resources. Therefore, the word has within it the meanings of pioneering, seeking and desiring. YUREEDOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means that the action making seeking/desiring/wanting is happening by the subject (third person plural). This in turn means: they desire/ want or seek.
An: that
Tadilloo: you become misguided/ you become lost
Note: the root is Dhad-L-L and it means getting lost as in lost the road or losing something. TADILLOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed.

Salaam all,

This is 4:43
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَقْرَبُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّىَ تَعْلَمُواْ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلاَ جُنُبًا إِلاَّ عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىَ تَغْتَسِلُواْ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاء أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّن الْغَآئِطِ أَوْ لاَمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاء فَلَمْ تَجِدُواْ مَاء فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la taqraboo alssalata waantum sukara hatta taAAlamoo ma taqooloona wala junuban illa AAabiree sabeelin hatta taghtasiloo wain kuntum marda aw AAala safarin aw jaa ahadun minkum mina alghaiti aw lamastumu alnnisaa falam tajidoo maan fatayammamoo saAAeedan tayyiban faimsahoo biwujoohikum waaydeekum inna Allaha kana AAafuwwan ghafooran

The Aya says:
O those who made themselves safe (in Allah), do not come near prayer in altered minds in order that you know what you say. And not after ejaculation if not passing a path, until you bathe. And if you were ill or on travel or one of you came from the bathroom, or touched the women interactively, so you did not find water, then seek good dust/ top of the earth, then rub your faces and your hands. Indeed, Allah happened to be eraser (of sins), forgiving.

My personal note:
The term Lamastum annisaa which carries the meaning of touched women interactively can be understood as meaning only sex with women, which was the understanding of Ibn Abbas and the majority of Muslims. It can also be understood as any touching of women, which was the understanding of Imam Shafii, or it can be understood as any touching between women and men that takes a sexual tone to it. It seems to me that Shafii’s understanding is a little too literal and therefore I may go with option 1 or three.

The Aya orders us not to come near prayer when our minds are altered. This includes the state of drunkenness or any state that alters the mind, including extreme sleepiness. That is why the prophet (pbuh), in one of the hadeeths, mentioned that if one is too sleepy, then let him go back to sleep and wake up later to do prayer.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya ayyuha allatheena: O those who
