Salaam all,

Qala moosa liqawmihi istaAAeenoo biAllahi waisbiroo inna alarda lillahi yoorithuha man yashao min AAibadihi waalAAaqibatu lilmuttaqeena


The Aya says:
Moses said to his people: “Seek aid by/ from Allah and be deliberate. Indeed the land belongs to Allah. He makes whoever He wills inherit it and the final outcome belongs to the ones who act mindfully (of Allah)”

My personal note:
I translated the term isbiroo as “be deliberate” the term SABR is often used for being patient. However, the term covers patience in addition to self restraint against being reactive. So, it makes us act when the reaction is not to and pushes us to restrain when the reaction is to act. For that I chose being deliberate as the translation of the word. Meaning that you count the pros and cons of every move and word you say and this includes within it being patient in dealing with adversity but also measuring your actions with adversity.

The whole passage has great words of wisdom and advice to all humans who worship God. The seeking aid by Allah suggests that we ask Him for help and Allah will provide it through so many diferent means either through people or natural phenomena or through angels or directly or through other ways that we can never imagine. This is also why Muslims say in every prayer the important statement of “You are the one we worship and from You we seek aid/help”

And the elite of pharaoh’s people said: “Do you let Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and leave you and your Gods?!” He responded: “We will kill their sons and keep alive their women and we are victorious over them”

It is sad when the act of worshipping Allah alone is considered corruption in the land just because it challenges their old ways of worship.

Wama tanqimu minna illa an amanna biayati rabbina lamma jaatna rabbana afrigh AAalayna sabran watawaffana muslimeena
The Aya says:
And you punish us only because we trusted in Allah’s signs as they came to us. Our nurturing lord grant us patience/perseverance and take our souls in a state of commitment (tou you)
My personal note:
The passage continues in a deeply touching manner and shows their deep trust and safety in Allah. The respond to Pharaoh then they move in their speech to Allah, their nurturing lord. They ask for patience / perseverance/ self restraint as they are meeting death.

It is true that the time when death is approaching is the most testing to our safety and trust in Allah. That is the time when all people may face the toughest questions to their belief system. So, they asked for Sabr which is a term that includes patience but also self restraint from making any wrong decision that would make them die other than Muslim or other than being totally committed to Allah. May Allah be with all of us as get to the most difficult points of our lives and may we die like they died as Muslims as totally committed to Allah.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Wama: and not
Tanqimu: You (singular) punish / payback punishment/ take revenge/ detest
Note: the root is N-Qaf-M and it means pay back for bad actions or words with punishment. It can be extended to detesting as well. TANQIMU is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of payback in the form of punishment is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular).
Minna: from us
Illa: except
An: that
Amanna: We made ourselves safe (in signs of Allah)/ trust in signs of of
Note: the root Hamza-M-N and it means safety. Conceptually, it can also be extended to trust as well, because we feel safe in the entity we trust. AMANNA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making oneself safe happened by the subject (first person plural).
biayati: in signs of
Note: BI signifies an attachment or close linkage between what is before and what is after it. In a Verbal sentence it can mean attachment to the action or to the subject as it does the action. This attachment can then signify many things according to the verb and to the sentence and so on. AYAT is derived from the root Hamza-Y-H and it means sign. AYATI means signs of.

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. RABBI is nurturing Lord of. NA means us or ours.

It is understood as empty some of what you have in order to provide to someone who does not have it. So, the way I translated it is like this: make provided
AAalayna: upon us/ us
Sabran: patience/ restraint
Sad-B-R and it means jail or prison. The word is used to mean patience and restraint at the same time, since both are about imprisoning our negative emotions, thoughts, and the push to act uninhibited.
Watawaffana: and take us/ and make us die/ take our souls
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. TAWAFFANA is derived from the rootW-F-Y and it means meeting dues. This then takes different meanings according to the plane of thought of the sentence. One meaning could be death since it is a meeting of dues, or just a taking of someone or something depending on the situation, or other forms of meeting dues. TAWAFFANA is an order or a request addressed to a singular. It means¨ take us or make us die”.


Muslimeena: Muslims/ committed to Allah
Note: the root is S-L-M and it means dissociation from an entity to re-associate with another that is better. This carries the meaning of health and safety. It also carries the meaning of delivery from one to another and it carries the meaning of peace, since it is the dissociation from harm to peace. MUSLIMEEN are the ones who are committing to the better entity and that is the commitment to Allah.

Qaloo inna ila rabbina munqaliboona

The Aya says:
They responded: We towards our nurturing Lord flipping back.

My personal note:
The WE here can be pointing to the Magicians were they are saying that in case of death they are returning to their Nurturing Lord and also that what Pharaoh said is not going to change their mind from leaving God after they left pharaoh as their old lord. The WE could also point to them saying to Pharaoh that not only us are going to return to our Nurturing Lord but you as well. In this case, they are returning his threat and violence to him and giving him a warning. All those understandings are feasible and not mutually exclusive.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Note: QALOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person plural). This, in turn means: They said/ communicated.

LaoqatiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin thumma laosallibannakum ajmaAAeena
The Aya says:
I will indeed amputate your arms and legs from opposite sides then I will indeed crucify you all.

My personal note:
The term min khilaf is understood to cover left arm and right leg or right arm and left leg. It is based on the two sides being different and opposite and that is based on the root KH-L-F meaning behind, but it can apply to opposite when the term is KHILAF or also contradiction and disagreement and so on.

Translation of the transliterated words:
LaoqatiAAanna: I will indeed amputate/ I will indeed cut
Note: LA is for emphasis of the action coming next. OQATiAANNA is derived from the root Qaf-Tta-Ain and it means cutting as a conceptual meaning which can be very concrete or differently. In this sentence, it is used for amputation or cutting. OQATiAANNA is an action that is happening or will be happening.

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. ARJULAKUM is derived from the root R-J-L and it means legs or feet. The word also means men depending on the situation. One possible link could be because when men and women are in the caravan and the ability to ride is limited, then the men will be on their legs, while the women will be riding the camels or so forth. ARJULA means feet or legs of. KUM means plural you.

Min: from
Khilafin: opposite/ different sides
Note: the root is KH-L-F and it means behind in time or place or any other plane of thought. For time, it takes the meaning of what happens after or the future.

Thumma: then
Laosallibannakum: I will indeed crucify you
Note: LA is for emphasis. OSALLIBANNAKUM is derived from the root Sad-L-B and it means the back bone in concrete.

It means: the action of Crucifying is happening or will be happening, with stress, by the subject (first person singular) to the object (second person plural).

The Aya says:
Pharaoh said: you made yourselves safe in him before I allow you. This is indeed scheming that you schemed in the city/ state to get its people out of it. Therefore you shall know.
My personal note:
The arrogance and obstinence showed where Pharaoh concentrated on getting permission to believe rather than pay attention to the actual signs of what just happened. May Allah protect us from letting obstinence and arrogance blind us from the truth.

Also, I translated the word MADINAH as city but it also can be understood as state since Madinah is any entity that is ruled like a state by a structure and ruler.
Translation of the transliterated words:

Qala: He said/ communicated
Note: QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person singular). This, in turn means: He said or responded or communicated.

This attachment can then signify many things according to the verb and to the sentence and so on. HI means him and it points to the message of Saleh.
Qabla: before
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. QABLA here is front in time and that is before.
An: that
Athana: I allow/ I permit
Note: from the root is Hamza-TH-N and it means ear in concrete. It also means hearing, knowing and approving at the same time and may be extended to acting according to that knowledge.

Note: There is a difference in opinion whether 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 kind of context MADEENA means city and town where there is central authority or something like that in a form of state. The other root is M-D-N and it means settled place. MADEENA becomes any place where people settle and are not nomads. Whatever the origin it points to settled place and also a place under some kind of command and order and so on.
Litukhrijoo: to make exist
Note: LI means to. TUKHRIJOO is derived from the root KH-R-J and it means coming out or exiting. That is the conceptual meaning and it assumes it’s more specific meaning or meanings according to the plane of thought of the sentence. TUKHRIJOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making the object (AHLAHA= it’s people) come out is happening or will be happening the subject (second person plural)

Minha: from her/ from it

Note: AHLAHA is derived from the root Hamza-H-L and one concrete meaning of the word is the fat that surrounds the back of the animal.

Salaam all,

Waolqiya alssaharatu sajideena

The Aya says:
And the magicians dropped down prostrating.

My personal note:

OLQIYA suggests that the action happened to the object by an unknown subject. In here it points to them doing the action as a strong reaction to the immensity of what happened. Something that compelled them to do nothing but fall down prostrating.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waolqiya: and were thrown/ and were cast
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. OLQIYA is derived from the root root L-Qaf-Y and it means receiving as a concept which would be understood more specifically according to the sentence. Concrete uses of the word are a female that gets pregnant easily, therefore she received the sperm well. It is also used for the birds that hunt because they receive the prey easily and so forth. OLQIYA is an action that is completed. It means: the object (third person plural) was thrown or cast or presented according to the context of the sentence by an undeclared subject.
Alssaharatu: the magicians/ the illusionists
Note: the root here is S-Ha-R and it means to make things look other than what they are and that includes deception and magic as well. SAHAR is one of the concrete terms and it points to the predawn time. The relationship between magic and that time may be because one can see things as other than what they really are in that time. ALSSAHARATU means the magicians/ illusionists/ deceptors.
Sajideena: prostrating
Note: SAJIDEENA is derived from the root S-J-D and in concrete it means a tree that is tilting downward due to a heavy load of fruits. It therefore is used to mean tilting downward of the face or the body including prostration. In abstract, it means showing signs of submission to a higher power, basically showing that one is giving in to the higher power. The range of meaning includes the abstract and the concrete together and one needs to understand it as both unless there is a strong reason in the sentence or elsewhere in the Qur’an to make one meaning inappropriate or impossible. SAJIDEEN means prostrating.

Salaam all,

Faghuliboo hunalika wainqalaboo saghireena

The Aya says:
So, they were defeated there and then and they flipped humbled.

My personal note:
The Aya describes the rapid turn of events of what happened as the staff took all the tools of the magicians. It shows how they were defeated and flipped humbled or may be humiliated by what they saw.

The “they” in here certainly points to the magicians but can be extended to anyone else watching and standing arrogant on the side of Pharaoh.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Faghuliboo: so they were defeated
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. GHULIBOO is derived from the root GHain-l-b or Gh-L-B and it means winning or defeating. Conceptually, it is used for difficulty imposed by an entity upon another. GHULIBOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of being defeated happened to the subject (third person plural) by an undeclared entity.
Hunalika: there and then
Wainqalaboo: and they flipped
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. INQALABOO is derived from the root Qaf-L-B and it means turning 180 degrees or upside down. The word is used for heart, because it is the organ that changes it’s moods often. Therefore QALB is our thoughts and emotions. INQALABOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of flipping over happened by the subject (third person plural)
Saghireena: humbled/ lowly/ humiliated
Note: the root is Sad-GHain-R and it means small or little in quality or quantity or any other feature that denotes littleness. This is the general meaning and becomes more specific according to the sentence. SAGHIREEN means diminution and this points to humiliation lowliness and humbleness.

Salaam all and have a great day.
