أَعَدَّ اللّهُ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
aAAadda Allahu lahum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha thalika alfawzu alAAatheemu


The Aya says:
Allah prepared for them gardens, rivers run underneath. They are staying in it. That is the great success.

My personal note:
The Aya continues by elaborating on the success for this group in that Allah prepared for them a great abode to live in forever.

Translation of the transliterated words:
aAAadda: He prepared
Note: the root is Ain-D-D and it means counting. Conceptually, it takes the meaning of counting in addition to preparing what is needed because this includes counting. aAAaDDA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of preparing happened by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah)
Allahu: Allah
Lahum: for them/ to them
Jannatin: gardens
Note: JANNATIN is derived from the root J-N-N and it means hidden or hiding. It is therefore used to mean darkness because it hides as well as garden because gardens can be hidden or because it has less light than the place out in the sun for the Arabs of the desert. JANNATIN means: gardens.

Tajree: She flows/ they flow
Note: the root is J-R-Y and it means flowing as in the flowing of the river or any movement that is smooth and relatively fast. TAJREE is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of flowing is happening or will be happening by the subject (ANHARU=rivers and is coming up).
Min: from
tahtiha: under it
Note: the root is T-Ha-T and it means under. TAHTI means under of. HA it or them.
Alanharu: : the rivers/the running water
Note: The root is N-H-R and one of the concrete meanings of the word is running water or river. It is then used to mean running or glowing in many other meanings and contexts according to the nature of what is talked about. ALANHARU are the rivers or the running waters.
Khalideena: Staying unchanged / lasting/ reaming
Note: the root is KH-L-D and it means something that stays the same. In concrete, it is used for the rocks and the mountains that seem to be unchanged through the ages. KHALIDEENA means staying unchanged. This basically means that they reside forever with no change in their predicament.

Feeha: In it
Thalika: that
Alfawzu: the win/ the success
Note: the root is F-W-Z and it means winning in a good fashion. ALFAWZU means the win or the success.
alAAatheemu: the great
Note: the root is Ain-TH-M and it means great/hard/strong. The concrete word is AAaTHM and that is the bones or the hard/strong/firm core of things. ALAAaTHEEM means the great.

Salaam all and have a great day

Hussein
