10:10

 Salaam all,

10:10

دَعْوَاهُمْ فِيهَا سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلاَمٌ وَآخِرُ دَعْوَاهُمْ أَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

DaAAwahum feeha subhanaka allahumma watahiyyatuhum feeha salamun waakhiru daAAwahum ani alhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena

 

The Aya says:

Their supplication in it is beyond reproach are You O Allah and their greetings is peace and the remainder of their supplication is praise belongs to Allah, the nurturing Lord of all.

My personal note:

The word subhan is often translated as glorified or exalted.  I did translate as beyond reproach because beyond reproach is often the way the term is used in addition to glory and so on and those are included within the meaning of beyond reproach.  So beyond reproach is a more encompassing translation of the meaning of the word.

 

I translated AKHIR as remaining.  Often times that word is translated as last of or end of.  However, the word actually means what remains which is often the last of but not always.  This suggests that the word of praise to Allah will be repeated always.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

DaAAwahum: their calling/ their supplication

Note: the root is D-Ain-Y or D-Ain-W and it means calling as in calling someone for help or otherwise. DaAAWA means calling of or supplication of. HUM means them

 

Feeha: in it/ on it (the garden)

Subhanaka: exalted are you/ beyond reproach are you (singular you)

Allahumma: O Allah

Watahiyyatuhum: and their greeting

Note: WA here for starting a new statement that contrasts a little with the previous sentence.  TAHIYYATUHUM is derived from the root Ha-Y-W and it means life or movement. The two are related since movement is a sign of life to the Arabs. Conceptually, the term can take other meanings including greetings and shyness as well according to the context. The relationship is that Arabs before Islam used to greet each other by wishing a good and long life. In here, it takes the meaning of greetings. TAHIYYATU means greeting of.  HUM means them

Feeha: in it

Salamun: peace/ safe deliverance

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. SALAMUN means peace or dissociation from harm or safe deliverance or deliverance to safety.

Waakhiru: and the remainder of their supplication/ and the last of their supplication

Note:  WA here to start a new sentences that is somewhat linked to the previous ones.  AKHIRU is derived from the root Hamza-KH-R and it means remaining.  AKHIRU means remainder of. 

DaAAwahum: their calling/ their supplication

Note: the root is D-Ain-Y or D-Ain-W and it means calling as in calling someone for help or otherwise. DaAAWA means calling of or supplication of. HUM means them

 

Ani: that
alhamdu: praise be/ praise belongs to

Note: the root is Ha-M-D and it means praise or thanks. According to the understanding of scholars an entity receives HAMD for her actions, words, or just attributes that are praiseworthy. ALHAMDU means, the praise.
Lillahi: belongs to Allah

Rabbi: Nurturing lord 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. 

AlAAalameena:  The beings/ the existing entities/ all
Note: the root is Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. ALAAaLAMEENA are the knowns and that includes all entities in existance.

The Aya says:

Indeed, those who attained faith and/ including did acts of benefice their nurturing Lord guides them by their faith.  Rivers run underneath them in gardens of luxury.
