 Salaam all

10:76

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوۤاْ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

 

falammā jāahumu l-ḥaqu min ʿindinā qālū inna hādhā lasiḥ`run mubīnun

The Aya says:

So when the binding truth came to them from Ours, they responded: “This is indeed clear magic”

 

My personal note:

The Aya points that what Moses showed Pharaoh was true and real but Pharaoh countered that it was magic suggesting it was tricking the eye instead.

Translation of the transliterated words:

 

falammā: so when

jāahumu: came to them

Note:  JAA is derived from the root t J-Y-Hamza and it means coming. One concrete word that is derived from this word is the pool where the rain water comes. JAA is an action that is completed and that is derived from the root. It means that the action of coming happened by the subject (third person singular) to the object (HUMU= them).

l-ḥaqu: the truth/ the binding truth

Note:  ALHAQQU is derived from the root Note: the root is Ha-Qaf-Qaf and it means binding right where right means correct as well s what is due to one person (rights and obligations). ALHAQQ means binding right or binding truth.

 

Min: from

indinā: ours/ at ours

Qālū: they said/ they claimed/ they responded

Note: QALOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person plural). This, in turn means: they said or claimed. 

 

Inna: indeed

Hādhā: this

lasiḥ`run: magic

Note:  LA is for emphasis.  SIHRUN is derived from the root S-Ha-R and it means to make things look other than what they are and that includes deception and magic as well. SAHAR is one of the concrete terms and it points to the predawn time. The relationship between magic and that time may be because one can see things as other than what they really are in that time.  LASIHRUN means indeed a magic/ illusion/ deception.

 

Mubīnun: Clear/ Clarifying/ self evident

Note: the root is B-Y-N and it means in concrete between. The action of the verb is betweening. This betweening can mean clarifying because one can know better the difference between two things. It also can mean distancing because the betweening makes things become apart. MUBEEN is the one that makes between in a conceptual sense.  In this context, MUBIN points to self evident

 

Salaam all and have a great day
