Salaam all,


Thalika biannahum shaqqoo Allaha warasoolahu waman yushaqiqi Allaha warasoolahu fainna Allaha shadeedu alAAiqabi

The Aya says:
That is by them actively rupturing from Allah and His messenger and whoever actively ruptures from Allah and His messenger then Allah is severe in the punishment.

My personal note:
The root SH-Qaf-Qaf points to a fissure or a rupture or a split that occurs while the terms SHAQQA and YUSHAQIQU point to this fissure or split or rupture as occurring in an interactive manner meaning a rupture despite the aim of the other party to stay connected and basically pointing to actively and deliberately moving away and splitting away from Allah and His messenger.

In the context the group being talked about are the people of Mecca who actively rejected the message and actively resisted psychologically, financially, orally politically and in this area with armed conflict that was aimed at annihilating the society of the believers in Medina. The message from Allah is that Allah will punish such a group with severity and evidently in this life and the next.

Salaam all,


Wama jaAAalahu Allahu illa bushra walitatmainna bihi quloobukum wama alnnasru illa min AAindi Allahi inna Allaha AAazeezun hakeemun
The Aya says:
And Allah did not make it but as glad tidings and in order that your hearts reach peace by it. And the decisive help is only from Allah. Indeed Allah is dominantly strong, wisely steering.
My personal note:
The word Hakeem is often translated as wise. This is correct, but the word is generally defined as the one who makes decisions and implementations guided by knowledge, justice and the big picture of things.

The Aya ends up with two names of Allah and those are two attributes that complement each other. The first is Azeez that carries with it the strength that cannot be minimized by any factor or degraded and that will dominate any other adversity standing in it’s way. The second is Hakeem that I defined earlier as the decision making guided by all the best tools and the action guided by the best tools. The two words are complementary because it reassures us that Allah’s dominance in strength is going to be used as a tool in His wise actions and decisions towards us as humans and for that we praise Him.

jaAAalahu: He made it/ transformed it/ formed it into

Bihi: in Him/ by him
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.

Note: The root is 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. QULOOBU are hearts and minds of or thoughts and emotions of. KUM means plural you.
