4:109

Salaam all,

this is 4:109
هَاأَنتُمْ هَـؤُلاء جَادَلْتُمْ عَنْهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَمَن يُجَادِلُ اللّهَ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَم مَّن يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلاً
Haantum haolai jadaltum AAanhum fee alhayati alddunya faman yujadilu Allaha AAanhum yawma alqiyamati am man yakoonu AAalayhim wakeelan

The Aya says:
Here you (plural) argued on their behalf in this life. So who will argue with Allah on their behalf on the Day of Judgment?! Or who will be, upon them, a guarantor?!

My personal note:
The Aya continues the same theme. It points out that while those people can succeed in their attempt to mislead others in this life, so they will argue on their behalf. On the Day of Judgment, there will be no one to defend them, nor give them guarantee in front of God, for they are exposed.

The message is clear to all of us to be honest in our relationship with ourselves, the people around us, and above all, be honest with God. While we can mislead ourselves often and others around us, we can never mislead God or be treacherous towards Him. The human attempts to do that, while many and frequent, will always fail.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Haantum haolai: Here you (plural) are/ here you
Note: this is a term that means as above in some sense.
Jadaltum: argued
Note: the root is J-D-L The concrete word is braiding of the hair. In abstract, it is used for anything that goes in circles or twists around itself or others. Therefore, it is used conceptually for arguing especially when it is used in an interactive form. JADALTUM is an action that is completed. It means: the action of happened by the subject (second person plural).
AAanhum: about them/ on their behalf
Note: this word takes the meaning of from, but at times takes the meaning of away from, about and so on. In this context it takes the meaning of “on behalf of” or “make an argument away from”. HUM means them.
Fee: in
Alhayati: the life
Note: the root Ha-Y-W and it means life or living. ALHAYATI means the life
Alddunya: the near/ the nearer
Note: the root is D-N-W and it means nearness or nearing. ALDUNYA means the near. In this case, it points to this life that we are living in as the near. ALHAYATI ALDDUNYA means the near life or this life that we are living as opposed to the coming life.
Faman: so who
Yujadilu: will argue with
