Walaw anna ahla alkitabi amanoo waittaqaw lakaffarna AAanhum sayyiatihim walaadkhalnahum jannati alnnaAAeemi

The Aya says:
And if the people of the book made themselves safe (in Allah and His message) including acted in consciousness (of Allah) then We would have atoned from them their sins, and We would have made them enter the gardens of the good life.

My personal note:
The aya is an invitation to the people of the book and in extension to all humans to have Iman or safety and trust in Allah and included in this acting while conscious of Allah. Those two are the basis for the good life in this life and the next.

One reason that the people of the book are particularly mentioned here is because they are so close to Islamic message from many angles and therefore this message is not alien to them and can strike a cord with them.

I translated the term JANNATI AlNNaAAeeM into gardens of the good life and this term is suggestive of paradise and heaven. There is also the promise of good life in this life as well.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Walaw: and if
Note: this is conditional and the response is coming later.
Anna: that
Ahla: 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. AHLA 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. ALKITABI 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.

Amanoo: made themselves safe
Note: the root is Hamza-M-N and it means safe or safety. AMANOO is an action that is derived from the root and that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (not mentioned and therefore the subject and the object can be the same entity here) become safe happened by the subject (third person plural). So, it ends up meaning: they made themselves safe.
Waittaqaw: and acted consciously
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 is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better ITTAQAW 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. ITTAQAW is an action that is completed. It means: the action of acting consciously happened by the subject (third person plural).

Lakaffarna: then we would have atoned
Note: LA here is a response to the conditional LAW that came earlier. KAFFARNA is derived from the root K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it. This is then used conceptually for many purposes as in discarding and rejecting as well as burying. KAFFARNA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (Sayyiatihim= their sins) buried happened or would have happened by the subject (first person plural). In this context, the meaning to making the sin atoned.

AAanhum: from them/ away from them
Note: this word takes the meaning of from, but at times takes the meaning of away from and so on. HUM means them.
sayyiatihim: their sins/ their hate worthy words or deeds
Note: the root is S-Y-Hamza and it means hated word or deed. It can also mean ugly or vulnerable. All the meanings are linked somehow by one concept. This word then means different things according to the plane of thought that is being talked about. SAYYIATI is the ugly or hated deed or any ugly or hate worthy entity of. HIM means them.

Walaadkhalnahum: and We would have made them enter
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. LA is also a response to the conditional LAW that came earlier. ADKHALNAHUM is derived from the root D-KH-L and it means entering. ADKHALNAHUM is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (HUM = them) enter another object (Jannati= gardens) happened or would have happened by the subject (first person plural).
Jannati: gardens of/ paradises of
Note: JANNATIN is derived from the root J-N-N and it means hidden or hiding. It is therefore used to mean darkness because it hides as well as garden because gardens can be hidden or because it has less light than the place out in the sun for the Arabs of the desert. JANNATI means: gardens of/ Hidden entities of

alnnaAAeemi: the favor/ the softness/ the easy living/ the good life.
Note: the root is N-Ain-M and it means soft in the concrete sense. Conceptually, it means anything that can be understood as soft as in soft to touch and soft in treatment and soft life as in a life that does not have much hardship. ALNNaAAeeM is the favor or the good life/ the softness.

Salaam all and have a great day.

Waqalati alyahoodu yadu Allahi maghloolatun ghullat aydeehim waluAAinoo bima qaloo bal yadahu mabsootatani yunfiqu kayfa yashao walayazeedanna katheeran minhum ma onzila ilayka min rabbika tughyanan wakufran waalqayna baynahumu alAAadawata waalbaghdaa ila yawmi alqiyamati kullama awqadoo naran lilharbi atfaaha Allahu wayasAAawna fee alardi fasadan waAllahu la yuhibbu almufsideena

The Aya says:
And the Jews said: “Allah’s hand is handcuffed”. Their hands were handcuffed and they were distanced from mercy by what they said. But instead, His two hands are wide open. He spends however He wills. And indeed, what was descended to you (Muhammad) from your Lord will increase many of them bad actions including rejection, and we casted between them the animosity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Whenever they ignited a fire for war/discord Allah extinguished it. And they work intently corruption in the land, while Allah does not love the corrupting people.

My personal note:
A statement that starts with “The Jews said” or “any other people said” is a literary feature of Arabic usage of sentences. It does not mean that all the Jews said this, but it does bring the attention to a significant group amongst them which happened to say this kind of this. The aya is specifically talking about some of the Jewish people of Medina o he time who stated such statements and also schemed and at times supported wars against the prophet (pbuh). Of course this Aya is applicable to any Jewish group that fits those descriptions at any point in history as well. The main point is not to misunderstand this form of Arabic literary style as accusing all Jews of the same sin or sins that are mentioned here. That is a common misunderstanding that happens when one reads translation but does not understand the Arabic style of communicating.

The other issue that this Aya brings is the issue of the two hands of God. Muslims have interpreted the hands of God in a range of understandings between negation of their existence to anthropomorphism and any thing in between. Here again, I will share my perspective and that is words, in Arabic and other languages, carry concepts that are general and relatively vague but become more specific and focused and narrow as we know the entity that is talked about.

So, the hands are to be understood conceptually by what they do as in resembling power, something to hold onto or something to hold other entities, things that create and in this context as giving and providing. So, when the Qur’an says that Allah has two hands, it is pointing to the above without indulging in the specifics of what the hands of God should or should not be nor could or could not do. The specifics of God’s hands are with God and we do not know enough about God's nature to venture on that subject. We just accept their existence, their functions as described in the Qur’an, and that they are unlike anything we know without indulging in any further specific points that are based on our limited human assumptions.

Lawla yanhahumu alrrabbaniyyoona waalahbaru AAan qawlihimu alithma waaklihimu alssuhta labisa ma kanoo yasnaAAoona

The Aya says:
Why do not the teachers/religious leaders and the scholars ask them to cease from communicating the sin and eating the ugly earnings?! How bad is what they happened to be producing.

My personal note:
I addressed the term Rabbaniyyoona before and that is a term that covers lordship and nurturing at the same time. The distinction between it and AHBAR could be that Ahbar are scholarly but without leadership positions whereas the Rabbaniyyoona can carry some form of leadership as religious and community leaders.

The aya points out the tremendous responsibility of the scholars whether there is leadership or not. It is their responsibility to push their respective communities towards righteousness and to pointing sinful actions and sayings and so on. If they fail then the whole community fails.

The author Noah Feldman touched on the role of the Muslim scholars as a counterweight to the potential excesses of the Muslim rulers. They did it in part, in response to this kind of Aya and others like it. Feldman suggested that this is a powerful tool whose importance is not grasped either by the west of today or by the Muslims of today. His book is entitled “The fall and rise of the Islamic State”.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Note: the literal term here is if not with some skepticism that they are not doing what is coming next.
Yanhahumu: forbid them/ ask them to desist/ cease action

Alrrabbaniyyoona: the people of the nurturing lord/ and the nurturing people/teachers
Note: ALRRABBANIYYOONA is derived from the root R-B-B and it means lordship and nurturing at the same time. It gives authority and nurture at the same time. ALRRABBANIYYOONA are people of the nurturing Lord or it can mean the nurturing people or teachers or all the above..

Ma: what
Kanoo: happened to be
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KANOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (third personal plural). This in turn means: they were or they happened to be

The Aya says:
And you (singular) see many of them hurry in the sin including the aggression and the eating of the ugly earnings. How bad is what they happened to be doing.

My personal note:
In a sense, this Aya gives a measure of how to see the sincerity of claim of Iman (safety in Allah and the message) by any group.

Waitha jaookum qaloo amanna waqad dakhaloo bialkufri wahum qad kharajoo bihi waAllahu aAAlamu bima kanoo yaktumoona

The Aya says:
And when and if they came to you (plural) they said: “We made our selves safe (in Allah)” while they entered in the rejection and they exited with it. And Allah is more knowing in what they happened to suppress.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about examples of people who will say they believe but they really do not. It is important to mention here that this is exposure from Allah about those people but not an invitation for us to discover them nor pursue them. It is however a message of awareness and consciousness so as not to be completely oblivious.

The Aya says:
Say (Oh Muhammad): shall I inform you (plural) in worse than that payback at Allah’s?! One who Allah distanced from his mercy and revealed displeasure upon him including transformed from them into monkeys and pigs and worshipped the other than Allah. Those are worse state of being and more lost from the balance of the path.

My personal note:
This Aya returns to the previous and it continues to address the people of the book. After having asked them about why they punish the Muslims for their safety in Allah, this Aya reminds the people of the book of issues they are familiar with and those are the punishments of God that were exacted upon some of the Israelites and documented and the reasons why they happened.

In a sense, it reminds them of two things:
1- There is nothing that the followers of Muhammad (pbuh) at the time that makes them deserving of punishment by God or by man.

2- That the people of the book are not necessarily immune from the punishment of God if they go against his system. This is also a subtle reminder to the Muslims that they are subject to punishment if they commit the same injustices that were hinted upon in the Aya.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Qul ya ahla alkitabi hal tanqimoona minna illa an amanna biAllahi wama onzila ilayna wama onzila min qablu waanna aktharakum fasiqoona

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad): Oh people of the book do you punish us for nothing but that we made ourselves safe in Allah and what was brought down to us and what was brought down from before?! And that the majority of you are people who drifted from the path?!

My personal note:
The term N-QAf-M is used for payback that is a form of punishment. Therefore it suggests that some revenge is taken or that the person deserves punishment. The aya suggests that taking the religion and the calling to prayer as mockery and play is a form of punishment that is undeserved and is unjust.

The Aya aims to remind the people of the book who make mockery of the Muslims that having our safety in Allah and the books that He sent is nothing wrong to be punished for. It then reminds them that their majority had drifted away from the path of Allah. Indeed the mockery and play are manifestations of that drift.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Hal: Do you?
Note: this is a beginning of a question

Waitha nadaytum ila alssalati ittakhathooha huzuwan walaAAiban thalika biannahum qawmun la yaAAqiloona

The Aya says:
And if and when you (plural) called towards the ritual prayer, they took it mockery and play, that is by their being people who do not contemplate.

My personal note:
Indeed, mockery is a very unwise practice most of the time. This is especially so when there is calling to prayer for praying to God is always a serious affair and in Islam it is considered the single most important act of the Muslim that he or she is obligated to perform in all situations unless he is unconscious, lost his mental capacity or is dead.

The term AAaQL is a term that is used for brain. Concretely, it is the term for tying the knot and so is conceptually used for any activity where things are tied together. The brain is the place where we tie all the information together. I used the term contemplate because tying things together is more contemplative rather than reactive. The Qur’an is describing the mockery and play as reactionary responses rather than deep contemplative responses. Had they been contemplative, they would not have reacted with mockery and play.

Translation of the transliterated tersm:
Waitha: and if and when/
Note: ITHA is a timed conditional. It points to If and when at the same time.
Nadaytum: you (plural) called
Note: the root is N-D-Y and it means in concrete dew or water touching a surface. It is also used for voice reaching an entity. In both, the shared meaning is something touching or arriving at another entity. In this instance, it is the calling. NADAYTUM is an action that is completed. It means the action of calling happened by the subject (second person plural) in an interactive manner. .
Ila: towards
Alssalati: the ritual prayer
Note: the root is Sad-L-Y and it means two main things in concrete. One is the lower back area and this one is used for one who is racing towards a goal and the head is close to the lower back of the one who is ahead. It is also used in concrete to mean heat and warmth and fire. The word is used for prayer as well. In this context, ALSSALATA is the ritual prayer.

Ittakhathooha: They took her
Note: the root is Hamza-KH-TH and it means to take. ITTAKHATHOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of taking the object (HA= her and points to the ritual prayer) happened by the subject (third person plural).
Huzuwan: mockery
Note: the root is H-Z-Hamza and it means mocking. HUZUWAN means mockery.
walaAAiban: and playing/ including playing
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. LaAAiBAN is derived from the root L-Ain-B and it means in concrete the saliva as well as any playing or non purposeful action. LaAAiBAN here takes the meaning of play and non purposeful action.

Note: the root is Ain-Qaf-L and it means tying the animal so that it does not go away. This is the concrete word, but it is also used for any restraint or tying. The word is used for brain or thinking appropriately. That could be because either that one who thinks appropriately is restraining his thoughts from going astray, or that he is tying things together or both. YaAAQILOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed and that is derived from the root. It means: the action of thinking/ contemplating appropriately or with restraint, is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattakhithoo allatheena ittakhathoo deenakum huzuwan walaAAiban mina allatheena ootoo alkitaba min qablikum waalkuffara awliyaa waittaqoo Allaha in kuntum mumineena

The Aya says:
O you who made themselves safe, do not take for yourselves the ones who took your religion mockery and play amongst those who were given the book before you and the rejecters as guardians/directors. And act consciously of Allah if you happened to be ones who make themselves safe (in Him).

My personal note:
I translated the term LaAAIBAN as play. The term is used for Saliva and is also used for any action that is purposeless just as the child’s play and so on.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya ayyuha allatheena: O those who
Note: the three words used here are callings.
Amanoo: made themselves safe
Note: the root is Hamza-M-N and it means safe or safety. AMANOO is an action that is derived from the root and that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (not mentioned and therefore the subject and the object can be the same entity here) become safe happened by the subject (third person plural). So, it ends up meaning: they made themselves safe.
La: not
Tattakhithoo: take for yourselves
Note: the root is Hamza-KH-TH and it means to take. TATTAKHITHOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of taking the object (awliya- guardians) for oneself is being made to happen or will be made to happen by the subject (second person plural).
Allatheena: those who
Ittakhathoo: took/ took for themselves
Note: the root is Hamza-KH-TH and it means to take. ITTAKHATHOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of taking the object (deenakum= your religion) happened by the subject (third person plural).

deenakum: your religion/ your fulfilling obligation
Note: the root is D-Y-N and it means debt or law or religion. What groups them together is the concept of obligation, since religion is the obligation of man towards God. DEENI is obligation of or religion of, with religion being the obligation of man towards God. In this context, it points to fulfilling those issues. KUM means plural you.
Huzuwan: mockery
Note: the root is H-Z-Hamza and it means mocking. HUZUWAN means mockery.
walaAAiban: and playing/ including playing
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. LaAAiBAN is derived from the root L-Ain-B and it means in concrete the saliva as well as any playing or non purposeful action. LaAAiBAN here takes the meaning of play and non purposeful action.

Mina: from
Allatheena: those who
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.
Alkitaba: 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.
Min: from
Qablikum: before you (plural)
Note: the root Qaf-B-L and it means front. This is then carried in time or space or any plain of thought. If it is in time, then front means before, while place would be in front. It is used to mean acceptance and reception since we receive and accept using our fronts. QABLI here is front in time and that is before of. KUM is plural you.

Waalkuffara: and the rejecters/ discarders
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. ALKUFFARA is derived from the root K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it. This is then used conceptually for many purposes as in discarding and rejecting as well as burying. AALKUFFARA are the ones who reject the truth or discard it.

Awliyaa: guardians/ protégés/ guardians and protégés/ directors
Note: the root is W-L-Y and it means direction or following direction with some guarantee. It comes close to guardianship. AWLIYAA is either the one who is a guardian or the one who receives guardianship of another or both. In this context, guardian and protégé or director apply. Therefore I used both.
Waittaqoo: and act consciously 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 is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better ITTAQOO 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. ITTAQOO is a demand addressing a group of people. It means: make yourselves act consciously of.
Allaha: Allah
In: if
Kuntum: you (plural) happened to be/ were
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KUNTUM is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (second person plural). This in turn means: you (plural) happened to be
Mumineena: ones who made themselves safe/ trusting
Note: the root Hamza-M-N and it means safety. MUMINEENA means ones who make themselves safe or trusting. The suggestion is making themselves safe in Allah and trust in Allah.

Salaam all and have a great day.
