Afahukma aljahiliyyati yabghoona waman ahsanu mina Allahu hukman liqawmin yooqinoona

The Aya says:
Is it the steering of ignorance they desire?! And who is better than Allah in steering to people who aim for certainty?!

My personal note:
YOOQINOON is derived from the root Y-Qaf-N and in concrete form it points to the water that reached a point of not flowing anymore, as in reaching the destination of balance at the sea or the lake. Conceptually, it is used to point to certainty or the time and place where our minds and hearts are not searching anymore, as if we have arrived at the knowledge towrds peace and stability.

The Aya contrasts the steering of ignorance where the minds will have to be at a state of movement because it has not yet reached the time and place of peace. This is contrasted with living under the steering guidance of Allah when the mind and heart reaches that peace and rest.

Of course, sometimes we may be following the Qur’an and Sunna but lack some understanding or have a strong influence of our personal bias. Both can prevent us from reaching this peace. This is helped by seeking more knowledge and by consciousness of our own biases whether they are legitimate or questionable.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Afahukma: is it rule of?!/ Is it steering of?!
Note: AFA is a beginning of a question that contains as well a criticism. HUKMA is derived from 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 possible using the best tools of knowledge, compassion, justice and mercy, and that is wisdom. HUKMA is rule of or steering of or judgment of.
Aljahiliyyati: the ignorance/ the era of ignorance/ the lack of knowledge
Note: the root is J-H-L and it means to become lacking in knowledge/to become ignorant for the verb. The noun means lack of knowledge/ignorance. ALJAHILIYYATI is the ignorance or lack of knowledge .

Yabghoona: they desire/ want
Note: the root is B-GH-Y or B-GHAIN-Y and it means the young animal or the still unripe fruit. This is the concrete word and the derived words attain the other meanings of youth and desire as well as immature and ugly acts depending on the word and the place in the sentence. Here, it is used to mean desire. YABGHOONA is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the action of desiring or wanting is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Yooqinoona: who reach certainty/ will reach certainty/ aim for certainty
Note: the root is Y-Qaf-N and it means when the water stops moving as in arriving at the final destination of lake or sea. Conceptually, it is used for reaching certainty because of appropriate proofs because the mind then reaches it’s resting point and does not have to wonder any more for more answers. It is generally the opposite of suspicion or confusion. YOOQINOON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. YOOQINOON means: the action of reaching certainty or aiming for certainty is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Waani ohkum baynahum bima anzala Allahu wala tattabiAA ahwaahum waihtharhum an yaftinooka AAan baAAdi ma anzala Allahu ilayka fain tawallaw faiAAlam annama yureedu Allahu an yuseebahum bibaAAdi thunoobihim wainna katheeran mina alnnasi lafasiqoona

The Aya says:
And that you (singular) steer between them by what Allah brought down towards you (O Muhammad) and do not join and follow their biases, and be cautious of them from hazardously testing you away from some of what Allah brought down to you. So, if they did otherwise then know (O Muhammad) that Allah only seeks to affect them by some of their sins and indeed, many of the people are drifters from the path.

My personal note:
The Aya continues that the prophet (pbuh) is under an obligation to rule and judge and steer between the people by what came down to him. This statement is also applicable to any other person who assumes leadership of the Muslims.

The term YAFTINOOKA suggests that there is a test that contains a hazard in it. This means that it can be difficult and that it can be easy to fail this test. So, the Aya is telling us that many rulers will be strongly tempted to move away from the prescribed rule of Allah and some if not many will fail this test.

The Aya concludes that if the people decided otherwise and moved away from the rule of God as prescribed in His book, then Allah is going to negatively affect them by that sin. The mentioning by some of their sins is a sign of God's mercy for He does not plan to affect them by All of their sins.

Waanzalna ilayka alkitaba bialhaqqi musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi mina alkitabi wamuhayminan AAalayhi faohkum baynahum bima anzala Allahu wala tattabiAA ahwaahum AAamma jaaka mina alhaqqi likullin jaAAalna minkum shirAAatan waminhajan walaw shaa Allahu lajaAAalakum ommatan wahidatan walakin liyabluwakum fee ma atakum faistabiqoo alkhayrati ila Allahi marjiAAukum jameeAAan fayunabbiokum bima kuntum feehi takhtalifoona

The Aya says:
And We brought down to you (singular) the book by the binding truth, declaring true to what is between his hands of the book and witnessing upon him. Therefore rule between by what Allah brought down and do not join and follow their desires/ bias away from what came to you of the binding truth. To each amongst you we made a path including a clear path. And if Allah willed He would have made you a one nation, but in order to test you in what he brought to you. So, race to good deeds. Towards Allah is your return, all, then He will inform you in what you happened to be disputing.

My personal note:
The term Muhayminan carries the meaning of witness and arbiter and protector at the same time. So, when the book that came to Muhammad (pbuh) is declared as muhayminan upon the book. This carries the notion that this book is the ultimate arbiter in case of dispute or potential misunderstanding of the other books as in the Old or New testament. It declares what truly came from God vs what truly is not from God vs what is neutral.

The term “to each amongst you is a path including clear path” covers the two words here are Shiraa which means: the path to the water and this conceptually covers any well trodden path to Allah including to Allah’s laws and so on. The potential meaning of this statement is that it may have pointed to the fact that the books of God carried different laws that God expected the people to follow while asking all to worship the one God. This is the understanding of most people of tafsir.

The term could also cover each and every person of us that Allah made for this person a clear path to the water. The “water” here could be the Qur’an and Sunna for the Muslim and for whomever the qur’an and Sunna are available. In case they are not available, as in barriers of non exposure or barriers of understanding or barriers of living before their time, then the path is for the best source that will lead the person to God, whether it is the bible or something less significant according to the situation.

Walyahkum ahlu alinjeeli bima anzala Allahu feehi waman lam yahkum bima anzala Allahu faolaika humu alfasiqoona

The Aya says:
And let the people of the Evangile steer by what Allah brought down in it, and whoever does not rule by what Allah brought down, then those are the ones who left the path.

My personal note:
This Aya contains the third statement describing the ones who do not rule by what Allah has descended upon us. The first time it described them as Kafiroon which carries the designation of discarders and rejectors of the truth. The second time, it described them as Tahlimoon which means unjust or anyone who puts things out of their proper place and this third time, it describes them as Fasiqoon or the people who left the path, or make others leave the path or put harm in the path.

The three terms are someone interrelated and give three aspects or features of the same thing.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after.

Waqaffayna AAala atharihim biAAeesa ibni maryama musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi mina alttawrati waataynahu alinjeela feehi hudan wanoorun wamusaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi mina alttawrati wahudan wamawAAithatan lilmuttaqeena

The Aya says:
And we made follow upon their traces/ imprints by Jesus son of Mary, declaring true to what is between his hands of the Torah, and we gave him the Evangile, in Him guidance including light declaring true to what is in between his hands of the Torah, as well as guidance and advice to the ones who act in consciousness of Allah.

My personal note:

Salaam all,



Wakatabna AAalayhim feeha anna alnnafsa bialnnafsi waalAAayna bialAAayni waalanfa bialanfi waalothuna bialothuni waalssinna bialssinni waaljurooha qisasun faman tasaddaqa bihi fahuwa kaffaratun lahu waman lam yahkum bima anzala Allahu faolaika humu alththalimoona

The aya says:
And we mandated upon them in her (The Torah) that the self by the self and the eye by the eye and the nose by the nose and the ear by the ear and the tooth by the tooth and the physical injuries are equitable payback. So, whomever made charity by him (the equitable payback) then it is an atonement for him. And whomever does not rule by what Allah brought down, then those are the unjust.

My personal note:
This Aya is well known and it relates to us what was related in the Torah and is applicable for us. It says that the tooth for the tooth and it relates to us that it is the rule of Qisas. Islamically speaking, this Qisas is applied to the principle of the equitable payback for the physical injuries including murder. Equitable payback can be through the right of the victim to ask for an exactly similar physical injury or a payment in money or otherwise for the worth of the loss or pain and so on.

The Aya then proceeds that if the victim forgave the aggressor then it is an atonement for the victim. This then mean that the equitable physical injury is the maximum that the victim can ask for with preferrance for forgiveness and even better forgiveness.
