10:25
وَاللّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى دَارِ السَّلاَمِ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاء
إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
WaAllahu
yadAAoo ila dari alssalami wayahdee man yashao
ila siratin mustaqeemin
The Aya
says:
And
Allah invites to the abode of peace and guides whoever He wills to a straight
path.
My
Personal note:
The Aya
emphasizes that Allah’s aims for us is peace and serenity and safety from
harm. The Aya also tells us that Allah
will guide some of us to the straight path.
The choice is not haphazard on who God guides and who does not. God guides those who have pure intention and
who make at least some effort.
Translation
of the transliterated words:
WaAllahu:
And Allah/ While Allah
yadAAoo:
calls/ invites
Note:
the root is D-Ain-Y or D-Ain-W and it means calling as in calling someone for
help or otherwise. YADAAoo is an action that is being completed or will be
completed in response to the conditional.
It means: the action of calling or inviting is happening or will be
happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah).
Ila: to/ towards
Dari:
house of/ abode of
Note:
DARI is derived from the root D-W-R and it means to circle around. Conceptually
it can be used for a house or any entity that may have a circle around it or
that surrounds an entity and so on. DARI in this context means house of or
abode of.
Alssalami:
peace/ serenity/ no harm
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. ALSSALAM means peace
or dissociation from harm or safe deliverance or deliverance to safety. DARI ALSSALAM is then the abode of peace and
serenity and so on.
Wayahdee:
and He guides/ including He
guides
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. YAHDEE is derived from the root H-D-Y and it means gift in all it’s forms
and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. YAHDEE Is an action that this be completed or
would be completed. It means that the
action of guiding the object (MAN- who/ whomever) is happening over will be
happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah)
Man: whoever/ whomever
Yashao:
He wills
Note:
the root is SH-Y-Hamza and it means entity for noun and to entity for the
action. This means making a non entity become an entity, which also means
making what was impossible possible, or what was non existent, existent or what
was un-allowed allowed, and so forth. YASHAO is an action that is related to
the root that is being completed or will be completed. It means: The entity is
happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular and points
to God).
Ila: to/ towards
Siratin:
path/ a path
Note:
the root is Sad-R-TTa and it means path. SIRAT is path.
Mustaqeemin:
straight/ upright/ correct
Note:
the root is Qaf-W-M and it means standing upright or standing. The upright can
be in all planes of position and for a horizontal dimension it means straight.
MUSTAQEEM is a derivative word that means literally aimed uprightness and
became upright. That is then the straight path or the path made straight or
self straightening path, but the main thing is the aim of the path and where it
leads
