Salaam all,



Waman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw qala oohiya ilayya walam yooha ilayhi shayon waman qala saonzilu mithla ma anzala Allahu walaw tara ithi alththalimoona fee ghamarati almawti waalmalaikatu basitoo aydeehim akhrijoo anfusakumu alyawma tujzawna AAathaba alhooni bima kuntum taqooloona AAala Allahi ghayra alhaqqi wakuntum AAan ayatihi tastakbiroona

The Aya says:
And who is more unjust than one who concoted upon Allah untruth or said: It was inspired to me while not a thing was inspired to him, as well as one who says: I will bring down (A book) similar to what Allah brought down. And if you (singular) see as the unjust are in the drownings of death while the angels outstretching their arms: make yourselves come out. Today, you (plural) are paid back suffering of the humiliation by what you used to say upon Allah of other than truth, and you were moving aloof from His signs, seeking grandiosity.

My personal note:
The imagery of the angels holding outstretched their arms is very significant as if they are waiting for the soul to come out as the person dies and then they are ready to take the soul to it’s destination.

In Arabic we use the term Rooh to designate to the soul. However, the Qur’an uses the term NAFS or self often to talk about the body, body and soul or soul alone with the context deciding which is being talkd about.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Athlamu: more unjust
Note: the root is 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. ATHLAMU means, in this context, more unjust.

Salaam all,


Wahatha kitabun anzalnahu mubarakun musaddiqu allathee bayna yadayhi walitunthira omma alqura waman hawlaha waallatheena yuminoona bialakhirati yuminoona bihi wahum AAala salatihim yuhafithoona

The Aya says:
And this is a book We brought down, blessed, declaring true the one already present, and in order that you (O Muhammad) warn the mother of the towns and whoever around her. And those who make themselves safe in the next life, make themselves safe in him (the book that came down on Muhammad) and they, upon their prayers, they safe keep.

My personal note:
I translated the term that literally means “The which is in between his hands” to “The one already present” because that is the idiomatic use of such construct and in this case, it is pointing to the book of Moses and Jesus and David and so on.

The term Omm Al Qura means literally, the mother of the villages or mother of the towns. In a sense, the use of the term OMM signifies extra importance over other towns around her or that it may have been the original town. In this statement the Omm Al Qura was pointing to Mecca and in that it points to it’s already important significance in relation to the other towns of Arabia that are around her.

The term of “Upon their prayers, they safe keep” points probably to all the following:

1- They maintain the prayers all the time.
2- They do them in their allotted times.
3- They keep their devotion to their lord intact while in prayer.

Translation of the transliterated words:

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. So, the word has the meaning of warning as well as an oath or promise of consequence in the range of it’s conceptual meaning. The context decides which coverage it has. TUNTHIRA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of warning the object (OMMA ALQURA= mother of the towns) of consequences is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular)

Yuhafithoona: they safe keep/ they preserve
Note: the root is Ha-F-THa and it means preservation and protection, and within that concept, also maintenance and upkeep. In one word, the concept of safe keeping comes to mind.

Wama qadaroo Allaha haqqa qadrihi ith qaloo ma anzala Allahu AAala basharin min shayin qul man anzala alkitaba allathee jaa bihi moosa nooran wahudan lilnnasi tajAAaloonahu qarateesa tubdoonaha watukhfoona katheeran waAAullimtum ma lam taAAlamoo antum wala abaokum quli Allahu thumma tharhum fee khawdihim yalAAaboona

The Aya says:
And they did not deal with Allah according to His rightful due as they said: Allah did not bring down upon a human a thing. Say (O Muhammad): Who brought down the book that Moses came with, light and guidance to the people? You make it into paper/parchment that you reveal while hiding a lot. And you (plural) were taught what you did not know, neither you nor your ancestors. Respond (O Muhammad): Allah. Then leave them, in their ill devised venture, play.

My personal note:

The root Qaf-D-R is interesting in the fact that it’s range of meaning and coverage covers between setting limits to measuring those limits to acting according to those measures and so on. The context determines on where in the range of meaning the word fits. In this context the term (Wama qadaroo Allaha haqqa Qadrihi) covers the part of the range of acting according to Allah’s due. This is so because no human can ever measure God nor is Allah is ever measurable nor are we ever to set limit upon Him. However, we can strive to act towards Him according to what is appropriate for His majesty and greatness. In that as well, we can never give Him his due.

Allah, in His generosity to us, just wants us to work on it to the best of our abilities and potentials, and He accepts our works even though we will always fall short. Those are the works that make us deserving of His mercy and love and protection.

Olaika allatheena hada Allahu fabihudahumu iqtadih qul la asalukum AAalayhi ajran in huwa illa thikra lilAAalameena

The Aya says:
Those are the ones who Allah guided, therefore by their guidance you (singular) follow. Say (O Muhammad): I do not ask you (plural) compensation for it (the message). It is not anything but mentioning/ reminding to all.

My personal note:
The Aya points out that the guidance that came to the other prophets is the same that the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is to follow. This means that they have the same belief system even if some of the rulings differed because of different situations and times.

The Aya ends with pointing to humanity that Muhammad is not going to ask for compensation for his message , for his compensation is solely with Allah.

Salaam all,

Olaika allatheena ataynahumu alkitaba waalhukma waalnnubuwwata fain yakfur biha haolai faqad wakkalna biha qawman laysoo biha bikafireena

The Aya says:
Those are to the ones to whom We brought the book and the steering and the prophethood. So, if those (others) reject it, then indeed We have entrusted it to a people who do not reject it.

My personal note:
The Aya concludes in pointing the people who were mentioned earlier and that they were given the book which points to the knowledge, as well as or including the steering. The steering is the way I translated HUKM which is often translated as judging/ruling and so on. Steering includes the ability to judge and rule, but also making decisions and so on. So, those people were not only given the knowledge, but the ability to use that knowledge to arrive at decisions and actions and arbitrations and so on. They were also given the prophethood which means that all those previous names were prophets.

The Aya ends with a very important message from God. The message that Allah has entrusted the message to those who will take care of carrying it and sharing it even though there will be people who reject it. It reassures Muslims that there message will reach people and although some will carry a distorted message, the message that is not distorted will still be carried and shared with humanity.

Waalhukma: and/ including the steering/ the ability to judge
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. ALHUKMA the root is Ha-K-M and it means the steer that steers the animal.

The Aya says:
That is Allah’s guidance. He guides by it whoever He wills amongst His servants, and if they made partners (to Him) then what they used to do would have becme void for them.

My personal note:
This Aya points to the great gift of guidance that Allah bestows upon humanity. It also contains an important are of caution. That is if a guided person falls into assigning partners to God, then all his previous good deeds become void and null.

Opposite to this is the matter of Tawba or repentance or returning to Allah. So repentance from sin or from disbelief makes null and void the bad deeds from which the person repented.

We ask God that we do not fall in Shirk or assigning partners to Allah ever.
