Ith tastagheethoona rabbakum faistajaba lakum annee mumiddukum bialfin mina almalaikati murdifeena

The Aya says:
As you (plural) plead for help from your nurturing Lord, so He responded immediately to you that I am extending you by a thousand of the angels following each other.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about that at a time of need, pleading for Allah’s help does get answered. In this case the use of the FA in Faistajaba suggests immediate response to the pleading and without any delay.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Ith: as
Tastagheethoona: you (plural) plead for help
Note: the root is Ghain-Y-TH and it means rain with particular concept of it being life giving and helping people and animals and plants from perishing from the effect of dry weather and drought. It also could be Ghain-W-TH and it is the pleading for help of some sort. The two roots are interrelated somehow. TASTAGHEETHOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of pleading for help or important detrimental support is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person plural)
rabbakum: your (plural) nurturing Lord
Note: RABBAKUM is derived from the root 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. RABBA is nurturing Lord of. KUM means plural you.
Faistajaba: So He immediately responded
Note: FA means therefore or then or so. In this context it carries an immediate response. ISTAJABA is derived from the root J-W-B and it means response or answer to a question or answer to a request. ISTAJABA is an action that is completed. It means: the intent to answer and respond happened by the subject (third person singular)

Lakum: to you (plural)
Annee: that I
Mumiddukum: extending you (plural)/expanding you/ supplying you
Note: the root is M-D-D and it means extension or expansion. Some concrete uses of the word are the high tide, when the sea expands, and also when the person lies down and expands himself or herself. MUMIDDUKUM means expanding you or extending you or supplying you.
Bialfin: by a thousand
Mina: of
Almalaikati: the angels
ALMALAIKATI is derived from the root L-Hamza-K and it means to convey a message for the verb and angel or messenger for the noun. ALMALAIKATI means angels. It was not however used to point to human messengers.

Murdifeena: following each other
Note: the root is R-D-F and it means to follow the back of another and so on. In concrete is points to the behind of something. MURDIFEEN means following each other or one group after another or one after another and so on.

Liyuhiqqa alhaqqa wayubtila albatila walaw kariha almujrimoona

The Aya says:
In order that He establish the right and make the falsehood obsolete despite the dislike of the guilty party.

My Personal note:
This Aya establishes that Allah will support the truth and make the falsehood fail and reassures the followers or pursuers of the truth that the cause of the truth will prevail despite the resistance and dislike of the supporters of the falsehood.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Liyuhiqqa: to make the binding right established/
Note: LI means to or in order to. YUHIQQA is derived from the root Ha-Qaf-Qaf and it means binding right where right means correct as well s what is due to one person (rights and obligations).

Wayubtila: and make obsolete/ and make false/ make fail
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. YUBTILA is derived from the root B-TTa-L and it means null or void or naught or false as in of no consequence. YUBTILA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making the object (ALBATILA= the null/ falsehood) null and void is happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah)

Walaw: even if/ despite
Kariha: they disliked/ they hated/ they resisted
Note: the root is K-R-H and it means doing something when unwilling and hating to do it or just disliking an entity. Therefore, conceptually, it takes the meaning of disliking an entity. For actions it takes the meaning of hating to do something and being forced to do something against will. KARIHA is an action that is completed. It means the action of hating or disliking or resisting happened by the subject (third person plural)

almujrimoona:
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. ALMUJRIMOON are the ones who sever ties and those are the criminals and the guilty parties.

Salaam all,

Waith yaAAidukumu Allahu ihda alttaifatayni annaha lakum watawaddoona anna ghayra thati alshshawkati takoonu lakum wayureedu Allahu an yuhiqqa alhaqqa bikalimatihi wayaqtaAAa dabira alkafireena
The Aya says:
And as Alla promises you (plural) that one of the two groups be for you while you prefer that the one without the fight be for you. And Allah seeks to make the binding right established by His statements, and make the rejectors extinct.
My personal note:
This aya has a story behind it and that there was a caravan that the Muslims were aiming to raid and get it’s booty as recompense for their losses in having left Mecca and give up their living and belongings to migrate to Medina. The caravan ended up not being raided but the rejectors of Mecca sent an army to fight and eliminate the Muslims in a famous battle of Badr. The Muslims won that battle. So, they did not get the financial gains of the caravan but had the military victory in this first battle of the history of Islam.

Some clarifications related to the “make the binding right established by Allah’s statements”. Allah’s statements are beyond count and they include in particular the following that are related to this Aya:
1- Orders to the Muslims of dos and don’t’s and so on.
2- Ordinances to the angels of how things will happens and should happen and turn out in the end.
3- Statements to clarify the religion and make it clear from the falsehoods including teachings and informations and ideas the religion is based on.
So, to establish the truth by His words include all of the above and Allah made the matters turn the way they are and He ordered the Muslims to fight that battle and made them win it. However, the very important point as well is that Allah’s ideas are the ones that eventually prevailed over falsehoods and so while fighting was needed it was the ideas included in Allah’s statements that ultimately won over the falsehoods. So, the ideas that are correct will eventually prevail because they are correct and expose falsehood. In this is a very important clarifications and that while fighting did occur at the time of the prophet upon him be peace, they were not great epic battles but more of skirmishes and eventually his ideas prevailed over the falsehood of his detractors whose ideas became extinct. That is what is meant at the end of the Aya that the ideas carried and supported militarily by his detractors will become extinct and they did become extinct.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Waith: and as
yaAAidukumu: He promises/ He promised

Although the action is in the present tense, however because it came after the (ITH)= as) it takes the meaning of something that happened in the past because it recalls an incident.

Kama akhrajaka rabbuka min baytika bialhaqqi wainna fareeqan mina almumineena lakarihoona
The Aya says:
As your Nurturing Lord made you leave your home by the binding truth, while a group of the faithful disliking.
My personal note:
The Aya brings about that while some of the faithful did not like leaving their homes in Mecca but still did it and the end product is much more positive than it would have been had they stayed.

This is in essence the point about faith. It pushes us to do things that we may not like by ourselves but the end product is much more positive than it would have been and the effect is the growth of faith further and further because it builds on trust and safety that accumulates with the positive outcome of each decision we make despite our reticence and hesitation and initial dislike.
Translation of the transliterated words:

Kama: as
Akhrajaka: He made you (singular) leave/ made you exit
