10:21

وَإِذَا أَذَقْنَا النَّاسَ رَحْمَةً مِّن بَعْدِ ضَرَّاء مَسَّتْهُمْ إِذَا لَهُم مَّكْرٌ فِي آيَاتِنَا قُلِ اللّهُ أَسْرَعُ مَكْرًا إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا يَكْتُبُونَ مَا تَمْكُرُونَ

Waitha athaqna alnnasa rahmatan min baAAdi darraa massathum itha lahum makrun fee ayatina quli Allahu asraAAu makran inna rusulana yaktuboona ma tamkuroona

 

The Aya says:

And when We make the people taste mercy after having had an affliction then they have scheming in our signs.  Say:  “Allah is faster in scheming.  Indeed, our messengers register what you scheme.”

 

My personal note:

The Aya points that a good number humans are not thankful when they are relieved from a hardship that had afflicted them.   They dismiss the role of Allah in that relief.  The Aya reminds us that Allah is aware of this and warns us not to take God for granted.

وَيَقُولُونَ لَوْلاَ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَا الْغَيْبُ لِلّهِ فَانْتَظِرُواْ إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ الْمُنتَظِرِينَ

Wayaqooloona lawla onzila AAalayhi ayatun min rabbihi faqul innama alghaybu lillahi faintathiroo innee maAAakum mina almuntathireena

 

The Aya says:

And they say why not descend on him a sign.  So, respond:  “The unperceived belongs only to Allah, so wait, I am waiting with you”

 

My personal note:

The Aya responds to their claim that they need a sign for them to believe.  The response is that if you wait a sign or a resolution to the matter will happen. 

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

Wayaqooloona: and they say

Note:  WA in here is for start of a new sentence that is linked to the previous one.  YAQOOLOONA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying or communicating in any way possible whether in words or otherwise. YAQOOLOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person plural).

This is then conceptually taken to any thing that disappears or becomes as if it disappeared in the forest. ALGHAYBU here means the unperceived.

Lillahi: Belongs to Allah

وَمَا كَانَ النَّاسُ إِلاَّ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَاخْتَلَفُواْ وَلَوْلاَ كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِيمَا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

 

Wama kana alnnasu illa ommatan wahidatan faikhtalafoo walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika laqudiya baynahum feema feehi yakhtalifoona

 

The Aya says:

And the society was but one nation/ideology, then they conflicted.  So had not been for a preceding statement from your nurturing Lord then would have been concluded between them in what they differed.

 

My personal note:

UMMA often points to nation as a way of thinking where it knows where it came from and where it is heading.  The Aya mentions that the people were united before they started to have conflicting points of view and ideology.  The Aya alludes that a certain preceding statement from Allah allowed this to happen and it happened for some reason in Allah’s wisdom.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

 

Wama: and not

Wahidatan: single/ one

WAHIDATAN means one Note: the root is W-Ha-D and it means one.

Faikhtalafoo: then they differed// Then they conflicted

Note: FA means then.  IKHTALAFOO is derived from the root  KH-L-F and it means behind in time or place or any other plane of thought. For time, it takes the meaning of what happens after or the future. IKHTALAFOO is an action that happened.  It means that action of putting each other behind each other happened in an interactive fashion by the subject (third person plural).  This in turn points to differing and  conflicting with each other since conflict and difference is about jostling for who will be first and who pushes the other behind.

Walawla: and had not been for

Kalimatun: a statement

Note: KALIMATUN is derived from the root K-L-M and it means wound or opening of the skin and that is the concrete word.

It points to determination at the beginning and the finishing of it towards the end. The meaning of the word is according to the sentence, sometimes the sentence allows the whole range and at others, part of the range of the meaning. QUDIYA is an action that is completed or concluded by an undeclared subject.

Baynahum: between them

Feema: in what

Feehi: subject/ in it

Yakhtalifoona:  they dispute/ they differ/ they have conflict

Note:  YAKHTALIFOOM is derived from the root  KH-L-F and it means behind in time or place or any other plane of thought. For time, it takes the meaning of what happens after or the future. YAKHTALIFOON is an action that is happening or will be happening.  It means that action of putting each other behind each other is happening or will be happening in an interactive fashion by the subject (third person plural).  This in turn points to differing and conflicting with each other since conflict and difference is about jostling for who will be first and who pushes the other behind.
