Faarsalna AAalayhimu alttoofana waaljarada waalqummala waalddafadiAAa waalddama ayatin mufassalatin faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman mujrimeena

The Aya says:

So We sent to them the flooding and the locust and the lice and the frogs and the blood, signs that are clearly distinguished. Then they acted arrogantly and were guilty people.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about the different signs that were not necessarily fatal but of great nuisance as reminders for perhaps they come back to Allah. Instead they insisted on arrogance and distance from Allah. May Allah help us respond to his signs.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Faarsalna: So We sent/ We envoyed
Note: FA means so or therefore or then. ARSALNA is derived from the root R-S-L and it means to envoy someone or a group of people or animals.

Waaljarada: and the locust/ and the denuders

ALJARADA is derived from the root J-R-D and it means taking the outer layer out as in the earth that becomes denuded of trees or grass or the animal that loses its fur or hair and the tree that loses it’s leaves.

ISTAKBAROO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of seeking to make one-self bigger happened (third person plural).

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.

MUJRIMEEN are the ones who sever ties and those are the criminals and the guilty parties.

Faitha jaathumu alhasanatu qaloo lana hathihi wain tusibhum sayyiatun yattayyaroo bimoosa waman maAAahu ala innama tairuhum AAinda Allahi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

The Aya says:
So, when the good came to them they said this is for us and if the bad one hit they find bad omen in Moses and the ones with him. Lo, indeed their bad omen is only at Allah’s but the majority of them do not know.

My personal note:
The Aya continues about the people of Pharaoh and how they reacted to the testing of droughts and lack of fruits by blaming bad omens on Moses and his people when it was a punishment and a reminder from Allah Himself for their actions but they continued to refuse to acknowledge their errors and continued to stick to their arrogant attitude.

Translation of the transliterated words
Faitha: So when/ wo if/ so if and when
jaathumu: came to them/ come to them
Note: the root is J-Y-Hamza and it means coming. One concrete word that is derived from this word is the pool where the rain water comes. JAAT is an action that is completed and that is derived from the root. It means that the action of coming happened by the subject (third person singular feminine pointing to Alhasanatu= the good one) to the object (HUM=them). Although It is in the past tense, however because it comes after the timed conditional ITHA it can carry past and present and future tense.
alhasanatu: the good one/ the beautiful one

It means: the action targeting and hitting the object (Hum= them) is happening or will be happening by the subject (first person singular). Because it comes after the conditional IN, it takes the meaning of “and if hit them”

Sayyiatun: bad: one/ ugly one
Note: SAYYIATUN is derived from the root S-Y-Hamza or S-W-HAMZA and it means hated word or deed or something. It can also conceptually 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. SAYYIATUN is ugly event/ situation/ bad one in this context.

Yattayyaroo: they get bad omen/ they blame bad omen
Note: the root is TTa-Y-R and it means flying with wings. This is the concrete term but it is also used for bad omens conceptually at times depending on the context.

Walaqad akhathna ala firAAawna bialssineena wanaqsin mina alththamarati laAAallahum yaththakkaroona

The Aya says:
And We took Pharaoh’s entourage by the years and lack of crops perhaps they will remind themselves.

My personal note:
The term Sineen is understood as the years. In here it points to hard times that come with years from droughts, famine, floods and all the tests of the years. The books of exegesis mentions that Sineen idiomatically points to droughts and famine.

The Aya points to the bad times that hit us as a reason for us to remind ourselves of Allah. Of course it is better to remember Allah always and not need a calamity to help us return to Him

Translation of the transliterated words:
Walaqad: and
Note: this is starting a new sentence
Akhathna: We took
Note: AKHATHNA is derived from the root Hamza-KH-TH and it means taking. AKHATHNA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of taking the object (Ala FIRAAaWNA= people of Pharaoh) happened by the subject (first person plural).
Ala firAAawna: people of pharaoh/ entourage of pharaoh

It often takes the meaning of first because that is the most ultimate. ALA in this context are the people who ultimately relate to Pharaoh and that is his people and his entourage.
Bialssineena: by the years/ by the action of time
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. ALSSINEEN is derived from the root S-N-N and it means in concrete tooth or teeth. This word also takes many other meanings that are related in different words to the concrete. One of the meanings is aging and years, probably because the teeth change little with years and last long even after death. It is also used to mean the action that is repeated identically very much as the teeth chew identically through the years. In this context Sineen is for years or the action of the years or the hardship of the years as in Drought and floods and heat and so on.
Wanaqsin: and lack
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.

Mina: of/ from
Alththamarati: the fruits/ the plant products

laAAallahum: perhaps they
yaththakkaroona: they remind themselves/ they mention to themselves
Note: the root is TH-K-R and it means mention and remember, at the same time. The concrete word is something running on the tongue as if speaking it. Another concrete word is male or the male organ. The relationship between the two is not very clear and they can be different words that share the sound but have different root. It could be that the male is considered the active organ and that memory is an active process, but that is only a theory. YATHTHAKKAROON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of reminding and mentioning to oneself is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Qaloo ootheena min qabli an tatiyana wamin baAAdi ma jitana qala AAasarabbukum an yuhlika AAaduwwakum wayastakhlifakum fee alardi fayanthura kayfa taAAmaloona

The Aya says:
They said: “We were harmed before you came to us and after.” He responded: “Perhaps, your nurturing Lord will vanquish your enemy and make you take hold of the land after, so He watches/ will watch what you do/ will do.”

My personal note:
The passage brings about either a complaint or a word of solace to Moses that nothing new happened since they were already harmed before he came but it continued after him as well.

His answer with “perhaps” is actually more of a reassurance that the enemy will be defeated but the use of the perhaps here is more of emphasis rather than mere possibility. Moses also reminded them that once they take control of things then Allah will still watch over what they will do and so one will always need to be mindful of Allah in his/ her actions and words in times of suffering and in good times.
