This is 4:163
إِنَّا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ كَمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى نُوحٍ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإْسْحَقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالأَسْبَاطِ وَعِيسَى وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُونُسَ وَهَارُونَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَآتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُورًا
Inna awhayna ilayka kama awhayna ila noohin waalnnabiyyeena min baAAdihi waawhayna ila ibraheema waismaAAeela waishaqa wayaAAqooba waalasbati waAAeesa waayyooba wayoonusa waharoona wasulaymana waatayna dawooda zabooran
The Aya says:
We inspired towards you as We inspired towards Noah and the prophets from after him. And We inspired towards Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the children (of Jacob) and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon. And we brought to David, Psalm.
My personal note:
The aya mentions that the message from God arrived by inspiration or subtle communication to the prophet Muhammad as well as it did to all the above mentioned prophets. A notable absence from this list is Moses (pbuh). This is because Allah spoke to him directly rather than through the subtle communications or inspiration.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Inna: We indeed
Awhayna: We Subtly communicated/ we communicated non verbally/ We inspired
Note: the root is W-Ha-Y and it means communication that is of subtle nature or in a non verbal or other clear way. This includes any communication that comes directly to the mind and heart. AWHAYNA is an action that completed. It means the action of communicating with the object (Ilayka=towards you) happened by the subject (first person plural).

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. ALNNABIYYEENA is derived from either one of two roots. The first is N-B-Hamza and it means news. The other is N-B-Y and it means elevated. The word NABIYY means a prophet, and it could be because the prophet brings news or that he is elevated over others or both. ALANBIYYEENA means: the prophets.

Salaam all,
This is 4:162
لَّـكِنِ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ مِنْهُمْ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَالْمُقِيمِينَ الصَّلاَةَ وَالْمُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ أُوْلَـئِكَ سَنُؤْتِيهِمْ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

The Aya says:
However, those who are imprinted with knowledge amongst them and the ones who make themselves safe, they make themselves safe in what was descended to you (singular) and was descended before you (singular), including the ones who uphold the ritual prayer and the ones who make the fruition come and the ones who are safe in Allah and the day of Judgment. Those, we shall bring them great reward.
My personal note:
This aya here brings an important exception to what was previously mentioned related to the Jews. It lumps together the “ones imprinted with knowledge” amongst the Jewish people with the believers who are non Jewish to make them both one. This is important as a reminder that the Qur’an never condemns a group in an absolute fashion. There is generally room for significant exceptions such as this.
The term “RAsikhoon fee al AAilm” was translated as “imprinted with knowledge”. The meaning that comes out of this understanding is that the factual knowledge that this person acquired becomes part of him or her and he or she becomes an embodiment of that knowledge. This is then a connection that is internalized, firm and inseparable. This is opposed to someone who acquires knowledge but it does not leave any effect on him or her.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Lakini: but/ however
Alrrasikhoona: the ones who internalized/ soaked/ imprinted
Note: ALRRASIKHOONA is derived from the root R-S-KH. In concrete it is used for the fluid is sucked by the solid below.

Salaam all,
This is 4:161
وَأَخْذِهِمُ الرِّبَا وَقَدْ نُهُواْ عَنْهُ وَأَكْلِهِمْ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
Waakhthihimu alrriba waqad nuhoo AAanhu waaklihim amwala alnnasi bialbatili waaAAtadna lilkafireena minhum AAathaban aleeman
The Aya says:
And their taking of the usury while they were told to desist from it and their eating of the people’s money/property by falsehood. And we prepared for the rejecters amongst them painful suffering.
My personal note:
Riba and taking the money of people by falsehood are included one in the other. They were both mentioned in the Aya to make sure that no one will look for loopholes here or there.
The other point is that eating “the money of the people” is a term that includes all humanity. So, the point is that one should not cheat any other person whether he or she was of their same religion or otherwise.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Waakhthihimu: and their taking of
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. AKHTHIHIMU is derived from the root Hamza-KH-TH and it means to take. AKHTHIHIMU means their taking of.
Alrriba: The usury/ the demand for more than you give
Note: The root is R-B-Y and it means becoming more than what was. This then means growth and increase in number and quality. ALRIBA is the becoming more. This is then taken to mean to give something and demand for more in return. This is the Arabic word for Usury but it can be extended to any inequitable transaction.
Waqad: while indeed
Nuhoo: they were forbidden/ They were asked to desist
Note: the root is N-H-Y and it means stopping or ending or desisting. This then takes different form according to the plane of thought of the sentence. NUHOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of asking the object (third person plural) desist or cease happened by an undeclared subject, but pointing to God.
AAanhu: away from him
Note: this word takes the meaning of from, but at times takes the meaning of away from and so on. HU means him and points to Riba=Usury.
Waaklihim: including their eating of/ and their eating of
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. AKLIHIM is derived from the root Hamza-K-L and it means eating. This will then take different meanings depending on the different planes of thought that a person has. AKLIHIM means their eating of
Amwala: money of/ property of
Note: AMWALA is derived from the root M-W-L and it means what a person owns of gold and silver. This is used to mean anything owned or just money. AMWALA means moneys of.
Alnnasi: the people/ the society
Note: ALNNAS is derived from the root Hamza-N-S and it means socializing. ALNNAS are the society/the people.
Bialbatili: by the falsehood/ by the untrue/ by what leads to none.
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. ALBATILI is derived from the root is B-TTa-L and it means null or void or naught. ALBATILI is what is null and void or what leas to null and void. In here it is used for falsehood and untruth because they lead to null and void.
waaAAtadna: and we prepared
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.

One concrete meaning is the box which a woman prepares for her very private items. aAATADNA is an action that is completed.

This is 4:161
وَأَخْذِهِمُ الرِّبَا وَقَدْ نُهُواْ عَنْهُ وَأَكْلِهِمْ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
Waakhthihimu alrriba waqad nuhoo AAanhu waaklihim amwala alnnasi bialbatili waaAAtadna lilkafireena minhum AAathaban aleeman
The Aya says:
And their taking of the usury while they were told to desist from it and their eating of the people’s money/property by falsehood. And we prepared for the rejecters amongst them painful suffering.
My personal note:
Riba and taking the money of people by falsehood are included one in the other. They were both mentioned in the Aya to make sure that no one will look for loopholes here or there.
The other point is that eating “the money of the people” is a term that includes all humanity. So, the point is that one should not cheat any other person whether he or she was of their same religion or otherwise.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Waakhthihimu: and their taking of
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. AKHTHIHIMU is derived from the root Hamza-KH-TH and it means to take. AKHTHIHIMU means their taking of.
Alrriba: The usury/ the demand for more than you give
Note: The root is R-B-Y and it means becoming more than what was. This then means growth and increase in number and quality. ALRIBA is the becoming more. This is then taken to mean to give something and demand for more in return. This is the Arabic word for Usury but it can be extended to any inequitable transaction.
Waqad: while indeed
Nuhoo: they were forbidden/ They were asked to desist
Note: the root is N-H-Y and it means stopping or ending or desisting. This then takes different form according to the plane of thought of the sentence. NUHOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of asking the object (third person plural) desist or cease happened by an undeclared subject, but pointing to God.
AAanhu: away from him
Note: this word takes the meaning of from, but at times takes the meaning of away from and so on. HU means him and points to Riba=Usury.
Waaklihim: including their eating of/ and their eating of
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. AKLIHIM is derived from the root Hamza-K-L and it means eating. This will then take different meanings depending on the different planes of thought that a person has. AKLIHIM means their eating of
Amwala: money of/ property of

Alnnasi: the people/ the society
Note: ALNNAS is derived from the root Hamza-N-S and it means socializing. ALNNAS are the society/the people.
Bialbatili: by the falsehood/ by the untrue/ by what leads to none.
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. ALBATILI is derived from the root is B-TTa-L and it means null or void or naught. ALBATILI is what is null and void or what leas to null and void. In here it is used for falsehood and untruth because they lead to null and void.
waaAAtadna: and we prepared
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. aAATADNA is derived from the root Ain-T-D and it means preparing an entity and so on. One concrete meaning is the box which a woman prepares for her very private items. aAATADNA is an action that is completed.

Salaam all,
This is 4:160
فَبِظُلْمٍ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّبَاتٍ أُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ وَبِصَدِّهِمْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ كَثِيرًا
Fabithulmin mina allatheena hadoo harramna AAalayhim tayyibatin ohillat lahum wabisaddihim AAan sabeeli Allahi katheeran
The Aya says:
So, by misplacement of right and wrong done by those who were Jewish, We made forbidden upon them good things that were permitted to them, and by their blocking Allah’s path often.
My personal note:
I translated the word THULM into misplacement of right and wrong. This is the wider range of meaning of the word and is generally wider than the usual translation of injustice or transgression. I also chose it because it actually answers some of the questions of this Aya.
The aya talks about things that were originally permitted for the Jews, but by their misplacement of right and wrong, it became forbidden. This happens in two ways:
1- A punishment for transgression and injustice and those are part of the meaning of the word THULM.
2- A person makes things forbidden on himself or herself by emphasizing some teachings and neglecting others and therefore he/she makes the practice of the religion harder. This is part of the consequence of misplacing right and wrong.
The Qur’an alludes to both examples to explain why or how the Jewish religious practice became harder and more demanding.
However, the Aya has an important message to the Muslims. They too can fall into the same error of making their religion too limited or them declaring things as forbidden when they are allowed. There are examples of this happening to some Muslims. Therefore this should be taken as a word of caution to any Muslim who declares things forbidden without strong evidence from the Qur’an and Sunna.
The aya points to some general Islamic understanding that things that are expressly forbidden (declared Haram) in the Qur'an and Sunna are then considered as clearly causing more harm than good. Things that are expressly enjoined (declared HALAL) are thing that cause more good than harm. The things that are not declared this or that are then generally neutral. They can move to one end or the other depending on the circumstance and particular situation.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Fabithulmin: so by injustice/ by transgression/ misplacement of right and wrong
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. 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. THULMIN is derived from the root THA-L-M and it means darkness in the most concrete form. This word also takes the meaning of misplacing right from wrong and transgression or injustice since injustice is displacing right from wrong and a decision made in darkness. THULMIN means injustice or transgression or displacement of right and wrong of.
Mina: from/ of
Allatheena: those who
Hadoo: 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).
Harramna: We made forbidden to violate/ forbidden
Note: the root is Ha-R-M and it means “forbidding and forbidden to violate”. HARRAMNA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (TAYYIBATIN= good things) forbidden happened by the subject (first person plural).
AAalayhim: upon them
Tayyibatin: good things
Note: the root is TTa-Y-B and it means good according the plane of thought. Conceptually, it is used for any good entity or any entity that is good in it’s nature and effect. Religiously speaking, this suggests that things that are allowed by the religion are good for us, while things that are forbidden are not good for us. TAYYIBATIN means: good things.
Ohillat: made permitted
Note: OHILLAT is derived from the root Ha-L-L and it means settling. Conceptually, this settling can be in time or place of quality as in settling or solving a problem, a knot and it can extend to acceptable or enjoined words or deeds. This sentence gives the context of acceptable or enjoined or allowed. OHILLAT is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (Tayyibatin= good things) permitted or enjoined happened by an undeclared subject.
Lahum: to them
Wabisaddihim: and by their blocking/ opposing
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. 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. SADDI is derived from the root 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. SADDI is an action that is completed. It means: the action of blocking and tightening the object (Aan Sabeel about path of) happened by the subject (HIM= them).
AAan: about/ away from
Note: this word takes the meaning of from, but at times takes the meaning of away from and so on.
Sabeeli: path of
Note: the root is S-B-L and it means and it means flowing water from the falling rain from the sky to the flowing water in the river and so forth. This is the concrete and the other uses are related as in path, which allows the flow, to soft flowing hair and so forth. SABEELI is the flowing water or the path of. It takes the meaning of path or even the trip on the path.
Allahi: Allah
Katheeran: lots/ many /often
Note: the root is K-TH-R and it means many or numerous in all the planes of thought. KATHEERAN means: numerous or many or a lot

This is 4:159
وَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلاَّ لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا
Wain min ahli alkitabi illa layuminanna bihi qabla mawtihi wayawma alqiyamati yakoonu AAalayhim shaheedan
The Aya says:
And not one of the people of the book will be excepted from becoming safe in him before his death. And on the day of Judgment he will happen to be a witness upon them.
My personal note:
The Aya here has an interesting structure. It mentions “him” here. The him in “safe in him” returns to Jesus (pbuh) who was mentioned in the previous Ayat and therefore the Aya asserts that all the people of the book, Jews and Christians, will have the proper belief in Jesus before his death.
The “His death” points to the death of Jesus mainly, but one can also understand it as “before the death of the person of the book”. One can use this Aya as a point against the people that claim that Jesus was not crucified but died a natural death. If this understanding is correct, then he will die later. If one is to also understand “His death” as the death of the person of the book, then some of them will believe in him when it is too late, as in the belief of pharaoh at the time of his death, while others will believe in him in appropriate time but others were not aware. This can explain why we do not hear about all of them believing in him. However, the people of Tafsirs considered this understanding less likely.
The “He will be witness” goes back to Jesus himself because each prophet is a witness upon his people on the day of Judgment. It can also apply, but to a lesser extent to any person with proper belief.
So, the Aya is talking about Jesus (pbuh) in all the “HEs”, while some of the “He” may potentially apply to others, but that is not as certain and within some limits. If the “he” applies to others then that will be in addition to Jesus and not as an alternative to Jesus.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Wain: and indeed
Min: from/ of
Ahli: people of
Note: the root is Hamza-H-L and one concrete meaning of the word is the fat that surrounds the back of the animal. It is used conceptually to mean family or any of the people that are closely associated with the entity being discussed. This could be because they are like the fat as in they engulf and protect and so forth and gain protection at the same time. AHLI means people of or family 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.
Illa: if not/ except
Note: this is a term of exception. It literally means if not, but can be used for any exception as well. The form of the sentence IN MIN--- ILLA carries the meaning of “not one of this group is an exception”--- or all will, but with greater emphasis.
Layuminanna: will indeed make himself safe
Note: the root is 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. LAYUMINANNA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making oneself safe is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular) with emphasis.
Bihi: by him
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. HI means him and it points to Proper belief in Jesus.
Qabla: before
Mawtihi: his death
Note: the root is M-W-T and it means death or the opposite of life or the lack of voluntary movement. MAWTI means the death of. HI means him and this has the potential of pointing to Jesus’ death or the death of the person who will believe in him or both.
Wayawma: and day of
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. YAWMA is derived from the root Y-W-M and it means day. YAWMA means day of.
Alqiyamati: the standing/ the rising
Note: the root is Q-W-M and it means standing upright. ALQIYAMATI is the standing upright or upright standing. This is a term that is used for the day of judgment because we all stand in front of GOD. YAWMA ALQIYAMATI is the judgment day.
Yakoonu: will be/ happen to be
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. YAKOONU is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being is happening or will be happening by the subject (third personal singular). This in turn means, in this context: He will be or will happen to be
AAalayhim: upon them
Shaheedan: witness
Note: SHAHEED is derived from the root SH-H-D and it means witnessing of truth and it also denotes that the witness knows very well what he or she is witnessing about. The concrete meaning is the honey mixed with wax therefore the wax is the witness of the truth that the honey is the honey. Another concrete meaning is the baby that was just born and is covered with a membrane. In both, there is close association which is proof or witness of the fact. SHAHEEDAN means witness or witnessing.

It means: the action of being happened by the subject (third personal singular pointing to Allah). This in turn means: He was or He happened to be.

hakeeman : Wise/ steering
Note: the root Ha-K-M and it means the steer that steers the animal. This word is used for ruling and judging as well as other meanings that contain steering as part of the concept. HAKEEM means wise or the steering. The steering means the entity that steers in the best way

بَل رَّفَعَهُ اللّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ اللّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا
Bal rafaAAahu Allahu ilayhi wakana Allahu AAazeezan hakeeman
The Aya says:
But instead, Allah raised him upwards towards Himself. And Allah happened to be strongly dominant, wise.
My personal note:
The Aya continues the issue after having asserted that Jesus was not killed or crucified. It mentions that he was raised upwards towards Allah.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Bal: but instead
rafaAAahu: He raised him upwards/ moved him upwards
Note: the root is R-F-ain and it means moving an entity upwards in all the aspects of concrete and abstract. RAFaAAaHU is an action that is completed and that is derived from the root.

وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَـكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلاَّ اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا

The Aya says:
And their claim: We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, envoy of Allah, while they did not kill him nor crucify him, but it was made to look alike to them. And indeed, those who differed in him (Jesus) are indeed in confusion about him. They have no factual knowledge in him, except following suspicion, while they did not kill him with certainty.
My personal note:
This Aya makes a very important distinction between the Muslim view of the above event and the Christian one. To Muslims, Jesus was neither killed nor crucified, but it was made “to look like it”. The aya does not go into detail about how that was. So it leaves the scenario open.
The Aya then proceeds to mention that there were no factual proofs for any claim, only doubts and confusion, but nothing for certain and no appropriate proof to bring about certainty in this matter.
Translation of the transliterated words:

The Aya says:
So, by their destroying their oath, including their rejection of Allah’s signs and their killing of the prophets without right and their saying: Our hearts are enveloped. Instead, Allah stamped upon them (their hearts) by their rejection, so they do not make themselves safe (in Allah and his message) except a little.
My personal note:
The Aya gives a response to those who claim that their hearts are closed. It responds that Allah seals the heart of the person who rejects the message and therefore they become sealed. The message is very strong and clear. We have to consciously be open to hearing God’s message and let it enter our hearts and minds.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Fabima: so by what
Note: FA means then or so or therefore. 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. MA means what

Note: the root is N-Qaf-Dhad and it means in concrete the remains of a building after it’s destruction or becoming uninhabited.

Meethaqahum: their oath/ assurance/covenant
Note: the root is W-TH-Qaf and it means in concrete terms, the secure tying of a knot or the pasture that has lots of grass and therefore is assured of providing enough nutrition.

The Aya gives a response to those who claim that their hearts are closed. It responds that Allah seals the heart of the person who rejects the message and therefore they become sealed. The message is very strong and clear. We have to consciously be open to hearing God’s message and let it enter our hearts and minds.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Fabima: so by what
Note: FA means then or so or therefore. 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. MA means what

Salaam all,
This is 4:154
وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَهُمُ الطُّورَ بِمِيثَاقِهِمْ وَقُلْنَا لَهُمُ ادْخُلُواْ الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ لاَ تَعْدُواْ فِي السَّبْتِ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَاقًا غَلِيظًا
WarafaAAna fawqahumu alttoora bimeethaqihim waqulna lahumu odkhuloo albaba sujjadan waqulna lahum la taAAdoo fee alssabti waakhathna minhum meethaqan ghaleethan
The Aya says:
And We raised above them the mountain by their oath and We said to them: “enter the gate prostrating”. And We said to them: “Do not overstep in the Sabath” and We took from them strong assurance.
My personal note:
The Aya continues the theme of the previous Aya regarding the signs that God gave to Moses and his people. It mentions that God raised the mountain above them (for protection and otherwise) and reminds of the oath between God and the Israelites as well the orders to enter the gates of the city in a state of submission/prostration, as well as the order to preserve the sanctity of the Sabath.
Here, one recognizes that the Sabbath was truly imposed on the Israelites. However, it was made easier on the Muslims where Muslims are expected to have the communal prayer on the Friday (see Sura Aljumaa= Friday) but can work otherwise on that day and on Saturday. So, one can say that the Sabbath was an order from God on the Israelites that was later abrogated partially for the Muslims.
