Wama lakum alla takuloo mimma thukira ismu Allahi AAalayhi waqad fassala lakum ma harrama AAalaykum illa ma idturirtum ilayhi wainna katheeran layudilloona biahwaihim bighayri AAilmin inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu bialmuAAtadeena

The Aya says:
And why would you (plural) not eat of what Allah’s name was mentioned upon? while He (Allah) made distinct for you what He forbade upon you, except when you are forced. And indeed, many lead astray by their desires/ biases, by other than knowledge. Indeed, your nurturing Lord is more knowing of the aggressors.

My personal note:

This Aya is a message that if someone declares something prohibited then it is their obligation to bring evidence from the Qur’an and Sunna declaring the matter forbidden. So, declaring something forbidden when it is not is very sinful just as declaring something allowed when it is forbidden. The Aya labels declaring things forbidden when they are not as an act of aggression or overstepping boundaries.

Wain tutiAA akthara man fee alardi yudillooka AAan sabeeli Allahi in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wain hum illa yakhrusoona

The Aya says:
And if you (singular) voluntarily comply with the majority of the ones on earth, they lead you astray away from Allah’s path. They do not follow but unverified ideas and they do nothing but speculate.

My personal note:

One may take this Aya and says that it is a proof that Islam is against democracy in a sense. The Aya tells us that the majority of those on earth may lead us astray if we obey them. What the Aya says that if what the majority of people on earth are asking you to do something other than what Allah ordered or blessed then they are leading you astray.

There are parallels to this within the American system of governance. If a state voted in majority to establish a new law, but it was found unconstitutional by the Supreme court of the United States of America then that law will be invalid and cannot take effect despite that it came from a majority opinion.

So, the Aya sets the limits of the rules of majority and those limits are that the majority cannot make the orders and prohibitions of God obsolete.

The other message of the Aya is the issue of the place of unverified opinions or ideas or beliefs. They do have their place in our thought process as long as they are the best available to us and as long as they are based on sound thinking. However, if they contradict objective verified findings then the objective findings prevail and those thoughts will have to disappear and make way for other thoughts that are more in line with the objective findings. This is, in fact the basis of scientific thought and development.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wain: and if
tutiAA: you (singular) obey/ voluntarily comply with
Note: the root is TTa-W-Ain and it means willing compliance as a concept. This can be extended to obeying and so forth and also easy capability.

Note: the root is K-TH-R and it means many or numerous in all the planes of thought. AKTHARA means: the bigger number of/
Man: who
Fee: in/ on

Note: ALARDI is derived from the root Hamza-R-Dhad and it means earth or land. ALARDI is the earth/ the land.

Yudillooka: they make you lost/ they mislead you/ they misguide you/ they lead you (singular) astray
Note: YUDILLOO is derived from the root Dhad-L-L and it means getting lost as in lost the path or road in concrete terminology. 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. YUDILLOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the actions of making the object (KA= singular you) loosing the path, or misguiding the object is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

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

in yattabiAAoona illa: they follow nothing but
Note: the IN before and ILLA after are limiting the meaning of the word in the middle to only one thing. YATTABiAAooNA is derived from the root T-B-Ain and it means following footsteps or join and follow footsteps. YATTABiAAooNA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making oneself follow footsteps or join and follow footsteps of the object (ALTHANNA= the unverified thoughts) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Alththanna: the unverified thought/ the unproven hypothesis
Note: the root is Tha-N-N and it means conclusion without certainty or conclusion without verification. Therefore, it includes theory, suspicion and all thoughts that are not conclusively proven. ALTHTHANNA is the unproven hypothesis or unverified thought.
wain hum illa: and they nothing but
yakhrusoona: speculate/ estimate
Note: the root is KH-R- Sad and it means in one concrete usage speculation of the date harvest or grape harvest of a particular area. The person who does that looks at particular features and then makes his or her estimation. Conceptually, it is used for any estimation that is not expected to be completely accurate. With that it is sometimes accepted as the next best thing when one cannot be accurate as in the estimation of the produce of the land. However, when better measures are available then resorting to speculation should be left. YAKHRUSOON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of speculation is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). In this they are blameworthy because they left the more certain to the less certain.

The Aya says:
And the statement of your Nurturing Lord was perfected in truth and in justice/equitability. No exchanger to His statements and He is the listening, the knowing.

My personal note:
The Aya tells us that the statements of God are perfected. The Aya points that they are perfect in truth and this is pointing to the truthfullness in what the statements of Allah tell us.

The Aya also points that the statements are perfected in Justice/ equitability and that tells us that Allah is Just in what He asks of us to do and not do.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Watammat: and was perfected/ was completed
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.

Afaghayra Allahi abtaghee hakaman wahuwa allathee anzala ilaykumu alkitaba mufassalan waallatheena ataynahumu alkitaba yaAAlamoona annahu munazzalun min rabbika bialhaqqi fala takoonanna mina almumtareena

The Aya says:
Is it other than Allah do I seek as judge./ arbiter when He is the one who brought down to you (plural) the book clearly delineated?! And those to whem We have given the book know that it is sent down from your (singular pointing to Muhammad) nurturing Lord by the binding truth. Therefore do not be (O Muhammad) amongst the skeptics.

My personal note:
The term “Those to whom we have given the book” covers anyone to whom the knowledge and understanding of the book had been received and imprinted on their brains and hearts and souls. So, this covers the close companions of the prophet (pbuh) as well as anyone who fulfills this criteria.

In this passage we run across a new term MUMTAREEN that I translated as the skeptics. The word is derived from the root M-R-Y or W and it covers the flint stone that causes a little spark or the milking of the cow or camel and so on. It is conceptually used for argument and debate where one is trying to prove that the other is wrong and so on or extract something out of the other. I chose the term skeptics because they are the ones who argue to deny what is being presented.

Of course skepticism can be healthy at many times, but when one is skeptical in front of clear proofs then it is uncalled for.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Afaghayra: Is it other than?
Allahi: Allah
Abtaghee: I desire for myself/ I seek for myself
Note: the root is B-GHain-Y or B-ghain-w and it means the young unripe fruit and the young animal. This is some of the concrete meaning. It does attain the meaning of something desirable or desire as well as something bad. Both may share that youth is desirable and youth is associated with immaturity and foolish actions. ABTAGHEE is a action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of desiring and getting the object (HAKAMAN= judge/ ruler/ arbitrator) for oneself is happening or will be happening by the subject (first person singular).

Hakaman: judge/ ruler/ arbitrator/ steerer
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. HAKAM means judge/ ruler/ arbitrator/ steerer.

Wahuwa: and He/ /while He
Allathee: the one who
Anzala: brought down/ sent down
Note: ANZALA is derived from the root N-Z-L and it carries the meaning of arrival to stay and descent. One concrete meaning is the descent of the person from his or her horse or camel as they arrive at the place where they plan to stay. ANZALNA is an action that is completed.

Mufassalan: clearly delineated/ detailed/ distinguished
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.

Walitasgha ilayhi afidatu allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati waliyardawhu waliyaqtarifoo ma hum muqtarifoona

The Aya says:
And in order that hearts of those who do not have safety in the next life be tempted towards it (the appealing misleading talk) and in order that they lovingly accept it and in order that they earn what they earn.

My personal note:
There are two words here that appear for the first time in this blog. They are TASGHA derived from the root SAD-Ghain-Wor Y which means the tilting in one direction or another and is used for being tempted in one direction or another. In this context, it is tempted by the flowery or pretty appealing but at the same time misleading talk.

The other word is YAQTARIFOO and it is derived from the root Qaf-R-F and it means the outer cover of something which sheds and can be separated such as the bark of the tree or the skin of the seed or the outer skin that sheds and so on. YAQTARIFOO is more in the understanding of adding more layer to themselves and so it is understood conceptually as earning and putting on a new additional layer.

As if the Aya is mentioning three stages that lead one to another or that can co-exist with each other. They are being first tempted by the beauty of the talk that is misleading, then accept it lovingly and not skeptically and then act upon what it dictates. In sense it is pointing to the insidiousness of this process and brings our attention to that insidiousness so we do not fall into it.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Walitasgha: and in order that they get attracted/ and in order that they tilt/ and in order that they follow/ and to be tempted
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. TASGHA is derived from the root Sad- Ghain-W or SAD-Ghain-Y and it means in concrete when the camel tilts the neck towards the speaker and so on. Conceptually, it is then used for tilting in one direction as opposed to another as well as for attraction and following. TASGHA is an action that is being completed or will be completed.

The Aya says:

And as such we made for every prophet enemies, devils of humans and Jinn. Some of them inspire to some appealing talk misleadingly. And if Allah willed they would not have done it, therefore leave them with what they concoct.

My personal note:

I translated the term SHAYATEEN as devils and in that I am aiming that it covers every individual human or otherwise who is distant from Allah and works on distancing others from Allah as well.

The term ZUKHRUF Al QAWL is translated as beautified talk and this can cover a wide variety of forms of communicating that aim to make the particular talk more appealing to those who hear it. In a sense one gets the feeling that playing with your talk to make it more appealing is something that is looked at relatively skeptically. It becomes especially condemned when the talk is beautified with the aim to mislead people by playing with their emotions and other senses.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wakathalika: and as such

Walaw annana nazzalna ilayhimu almalaikata wakallamahumu almawta wahasharna AAalayhim kulla shayin qubulan ma kanoo liyuminoo illa an yashaa Allahu walakinna aktharahum yajhaloona

The Aya says:
And if We brought down to them the angels and the dead talked to them and we gathered everything in front of them, they were not to make themselves safe unless Allah wills it. However, the majority of them lack knowledge.

My personal note:

The Aya continues the theme from Aya 109 when the non believers were asking for a sign to believe. This Aya mentions all sorts of evidences that are supposed to make people safe and trusting in Allah. However, the Aya also tells that some of them will not believe despite all of that.

The Aya ties the safety and trust in Allah with His will. This means that if Allah did not will for a person to become safe in Allah then this person will not. It is important however to remember that the Will of Allah is not haphazard in this regard. Allah wills belief to those who deserve it and they are the ones who look at his signs with consciousness and humility as opposed to those who look at them while wanting to be blind and deaf and stubborn in their arrogance. It is then our obligation as humans to always be conscious and humble in front of the signs that come from Allah, or otherwise, we will end up in rejection and the bad consequences of such act. May Allah always guide us to Taqwa, consciousness and deep vision and protect us from ignorance.
