Qul law anna AAindee ma tastaAAjiloona bihi laqudiya alamru baynee wabaynakum waAllahu aAAlamu bialththalimeena

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad) if I had what you are asking for in a hurry, then the matter is concluded between me and you (plura) and Allah knows more of the unjust.

My personal note:
This continues the theme and the message from the previous Aya. It points out that if he gave them what they were asking for then it is the end of their existance and a point of their arrival at the truth but too late. The Aya ends in reminding them that Allah knows the unjust. It is meant to touch deeply in our psyche to be honest with ourselves and with God.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Qul: Say/ communicate/respond
Note: the root is Qaf-W-L and it means saying or communicating. QUL is an order or a request addressed to a singular. It means: say or communicate.
Law: if
Anna: that
Aaindee: at mine/ I have/ in my possession
Ma: what
tastaAAjiloona: you (plural) seek in a hurry/ demand hurriyingly
Note: the root is Ain-J-L and it means speed and to be in a hurry. TASTaAAJILOON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the seeking or demanding the object (bihi= in him opinting to what they are demanding) in a hurried manner is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person plural).

Bihi: by him/ With him
Laqudiya: then would have reached conclusion/ end/ point of finish/ completed.
Note: the root Qaf-Dhad-Y and it means a mandate that one makes to completion of it and anything in between. It points to determination at the beginning and the finishing of it towards the end. The meaning of the word is according to the sentence, sometimes the sentence allows the whole range and at others, part of the range of the meaning. LAQUDIYA is an action that is completed. It means: the mandated object (ALAMRU= the matter/ implement) happened or was completed by an undeclared subject.
Baynee: between me

aAAlamu: more knowledgeable/ more knowing
Note: the root is Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. aAALAMU means more knowing or more knowledgeable.
Bialththalimeena: in the unjust/ in the transgressors
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. ALTHTHALIMEEN 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. ALTHTHALIMEEN are the unjust or the one who misplaces right from wrong intentionally and that is the one who decides and acts in darkness.

Qul innee AAala bayyinatin min rabbee wakaththabtum bihi ma AAindee ma tastaAAjiloona bihi ini alhukmu illa lillahi yaqussu alhaqqa wahuwa khayru alfasileena

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad): I am upon clear proof from my nurturing Lord while you (plural) declared him untrue. What you are hurriying for is not with me. The steering belongs only to Allah. He separates apart the binding truth and He is the best of the distinguishers.

My personal note:
There are several issues that may require a little detailing. The term “And you declared him untrue” would pose an inquiry into what the “Him” was pointing to. It can certainly point to declaring the clear proof untrue but it also can be pointing to declaring His Lord untrue and both meanings would be correct and therefore applicable.

The other question is “What were they asking for in a hurry?” and this could be many things including asking, in a form of mockery, to receive the punishment that they were warned about, but it can apply to many proofs that they were always demanding.

The end of the Aya is very deep in the terms of “He cuts apart the binding truth, and He is the best of the distinguishers”. It points out something that is one of the basis of human error in judgement and that is mixing truth with falsehood and starting with truth to end in falsehood or hiding the falsehood under a banner of truth. The Aya tells us that Allah always separates the truth from the faslehood and that He is the best at that. It also brings us to a new heightened degree of consciousness of our tendency to mix things up and that we need Allah to help us in distinguishing the two.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Qul: Say/ communicate/respond
Note: the root is Qaf-W-L and it means saying or communicating. QUL is an order or a request addressed to a singular. It means: say or communicate.

Innee: I
Aaala: upon
Bayyinatin: clear proof
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. BYYINA means clear proof or clarifying entity and so on.

Rabbee: my nurturing Lord
Note: the root is R-B-B and it means nurturing and Lordship as two components of the meaning that can be present together or one at a time according to the context of the sentence. RABBEE is nurturing Lord of mine.
Wakaththabtum: while you declared untrue/ and you declared untrue
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.

KATHTHABTUM is derived from the root K-TH-B and it means a untrue.

The Him is pointing to what they were rejecting or declaring untrue and in this case can be either Allah or His message.

The Him is pointing to what they were demanding in general.
Ini alhukmu illa: the judgement/ the power to judge or rule/ the steering is not except
Note: the in before the word and the ILLA after serve to limit the term HUKM to only what comes after it. ALHUKMU the root is 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. ALHUKMU is the steering/ the judgement/ the power to rule and so on.

Qul innee nuheetu an aAAbuda allatheena tadAAoona min dooni Allahi qul la attabiAAu ahwaakum qad dalaltu ithan wama ana mina almuhtadeena

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad): I was forbidden from worshipping those whom you (plural) call upon, short of Allah. Say (O Muhammad): I will not join and follow your desires, I would have gone astray then and not amongst the guided.

My personal note:
I have translated the term AHWA as desires in this section and that covers the meaning. However, the meaning of the term goes beyond desires to any form of bias that we stick to but has no basis to stand on.


The term hawa then carries with it all sorts of considerations where we are always asked, through Taqwwa (consciousness), to question why and what are the basis upon which we hold onto something so dearly? The basis for the Muslims have to be anchored deeply and strongly in the teachings of Allah to us and in the teachings of His messenger (pbuh).

Allatheena: those whom
tadAAoona: you (plural) call upon
Note: the root is D-Ain-Y and it means calling as in calling someone for help or otherwise. TADAAooNA is an action that is being completed or will be completed.

Conceptually, it is used for any form of loosing the path, whether it is the path to a location or to the truth, or to be correct spiritually and so on. The imagery is very strong since loosing the path in the desert can mean near certain death. DALALTU is an action that is completed. It means: the actions of loosing the path, or becoming misguided happened by the subject (first person singular).

Wakathalika nufassilu alayati walitastabeena sabeelu almujrimeena

The Aya says:
As as such, we make the signs clearly distinct and in order that the path of the criminals become clear.

My personal note:

I translated the term nufassilu Al Ayat as “making the signs clearly distinct”. The term nufassil is derived from the root F-Sad-L and it means making a clear distinction between one entity and another. It applies to the joint where it separates one side or the other and in other areas. So, Tafsseel is making it clear which is which. To, me that signifies the ability to distinguish the applications and understandings of the different Ayat.

Often times this term is translated as “Detailing”. It does apply to the term but more in the form of clearly identifying the different parts that need to be identified as separate and distinct, as in the detailing of the work of the builder and so on, rather than spelling every single “detail”.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wakathalika: and as such
Nufassilu: We detail/ we distinguish
Note: the root is F-Sad-L and it means what makes the two things or more distinguishable from one another. This can be because of separation or because of joint or change of color or angle and so on.

Note: AYAT is derived from the root Hamza-Y-H and it means sign. ALAYATI means the signs.
Walitastabeena: and in order to become clarified
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. LI means to or in order to. TASTABEENA is derived from the root B-Y-N and it means between. This word then assumes many meanings as separation and distancing between two or more things. It also carries the meaning of clarification between two things. Here, it adopts the meaning of clarification. TASTABEENA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of becoming clear is happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to SABEEL ALMUJRIMEENA= path of the guilty).

Sabeelu: 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. SABEELA is the flowing water or the path of.

Almujrimeena: the guilty/ the criminals/ the severers of good ties
Note: the root is J-R-M and in concrete it means: harvesting the dates from the tree or separating/severing the dates from the tree. Conceptually, this word then carries many other meaning including a transgression because the transgression/criminal act is a separation or severing of ties with what is appropriate. ALMUJRIMEEN are the ones who sever ties and those are the criminals and the guilty parties.

The Aya says:
And when those who make themselves safe in our signs come to you (singular) then say: “Peace be upon you (plural). Your nurturing Lord had mandated upon Himself the mercy. That whomever did a bad deed in ignorance, then he repented after that and acted beneficently, then He (Allah) indeed is protectively covering, Merciful”.

My personal note:
The early scholars of Islam commented on the term “did a bad deed in ignorance” and according to the opinion of Ibn Abbas (r) who is considered the translator and first commentator on the Qur’an, the term touches all sins big or small. Because all sins are a product of some form of ignorance.

However, the other important factor is repentance or leaving the sin or intending to leave it and returning to the fold of your Lord. May Allah help us always return to Him no matter how great our sins.

Wakathalika fatanna baAAdahum bibaAAdin liyaqooloo ahaolai manna Allahu AAalayhim min baynina alaysa Allahu biaAAlama bialshshakireena

The Aya says:
And as such we tested some of them by some in order that they say: Are those Allah bestowed favor upon from amongst us?! (The response) Is not Allah more knowing of the thankful?!

My personal note:
The Aya points out to how humans are tested through their jealousy and arrogance. The context here is between the ones on whom Allah bestowed favor of making them prophets vs those who rejected their message.

The rejectors of that message would pose their challenge in a sarcastic question, while Allah answers them with a question. The answer is that Allah gives the blessing of His message to those people who are thankful.

It is a message of the importance of being thankful always to Allah.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wakathalika: and as such/ and like that

Fatanna: We tested/ We severely tested
Note: the root is F-T-N and it means in concrete form, the melting of Gold or silver in order to know the pure from the impure or the true from the fake.

Wala tatrudi allatheena yadAAoona rabbahum bialghadati waalAAashiyyi yureedoona wajhahu ma AAalayka min hisabihim min shayin wama min hisabika AAalayhim min shayin fatatrudahum fatakoona mina alththalimeena

The Aya says:
And do not (O Muhammad) chase away those who call upon their nurturing Lord in the morning and the evening. They seek His face. There is not a thing of their accounting that is upon you, nor a thing of your accounting is upon them so as to chase them away then you become amongst the unjust.

My personal note:
The Aya asks of the prophet (pbuh) not to chase away his followers who are seeking “the face of their Lord”. It continues that what the prophet has to account for is his and what they account for is theirs and therefore there is no reason for him to chase them away and if he did then he would be unjust.
The term “Face of their Lord” is the word that is used. The term is used often to denote one of two meanings or both meanings and more:

1- Gaining the acceptance and approval of their Lord.

2- Seeing the face of their Lord on the day of judgement, just like a lover who is longing to meet his loved one, until they meet face to face one day and that would be their happiest day.

Muslim theologians differed whether God has a face. Early Muslims agreed that Allah has a face but stopped short of giving specifics using the general distinction of “He has a face that is fit for His grandeur without likening it to anything nor denying it’s existance, nor explaining it’s specifics nor playing with the meaning of the word”. Some later muslim scholars had varying degrees of trying to explain “the face” without accepting an actual face.

Conceptually, though the face of an entity is what meets and greets others and so on without having to indulge on the more specific aspects of it and with emphasizing it’s actual existance.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wala tatrudi: and do not expel/ do not chase away
Note: WALA is a continuation of negation and in this case an order of inhibition. TATRUD is derived from the root TTA-R-D and it means in concrete when the night and day alternate as if they are chasing away each other. It is also used in concrete for the running river as the water pushes the other water away. Conceptually, it is used for expelling or chasing away and it can be used for the chase of the hunt and so forth. In this context, it is used for chasing away or expelling. WALA TATRUDI is an order addressed to a singular. It means: and do not chase away or expel.

Salaam all,


Waanthir bihi allatheena yakhafoona an yuhsharoo ila rabbihim laysa lahum min doonihi waliyyun wala shafeeAAun laAAallahum yattaqoona

The Aya says:
And warn by him (what was inspired to you) those who fear that they will gathered towards their nurturing Lord. They have no guardian nor intercessor short of Him. Perhaps they will act consciously.

My personal note:
The word ANTTHIR is translated as warn. It is a term that is used to warn and inform at the same time that warned can become safe if acted properly. So although it is a warning, it is also a path to safety. That is why it is followed by the statement " those who fear that they be gathered towards their Lord". As if to reassure them that they can do something to ease their fear and that is acting in Taqwa= consciousness of their Lord.

The end of the Aya does emphasize two points and that is there is no guardian short of Allah and that intercession is also through God. This statement does not negate intercession completely but it emphasizes that intercession, if it is to occurr, it will be through God’s blessing and approval and not any other way.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waanthir: and warn
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.

Anthir is derived from the root N-TH-R and it means self imposed consequence. This means that a person will say that I will do this if this happened or that a person will have a consequence happen to him/her if another event happened. It also carries with it the ability to avoid the consequence if made adjustments. ANTHIR is an order addressed to a singular. It means: warn.

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad): I do not say to you (plural) I have Allah’s stores nor do I know the unperceived nor do I say to you (plural) that I am an angel. I merely join and follow what is inspired towards me. Say (O Muhammad): is the blind and seeing at the same level? Why do they not contemplate?!

Translation of the transliterated words:
I translated the word KHAZAIN as stores. Here I use the term store as “the entity where things are stored” and the things that are stored include things that are material as well as knowledge and so on. So, the term encompasses the riches that come first in mind as well knowledge and so on.

The Aya ends with a question that suggests a known answer and that is that the seeing and the blind are not on the same level. In this case, the comparison is between the person that sees the signs from Allah and follows them with the one who refuses to see them and rejects them. This theme comes often and related to it is the comparison between light and darkness since the light is what makes us see clearly while the darkness makes vision difficult or impossible.
