 Salaam all

10:88

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ آتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلأَهُ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَالاً فِي ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِكَ رَبَّنَا ٱطْمِسْ عَلَىٰ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَٱشْدُدْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلاَ يُؤْمِنُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلأَلِيمَ

 

waqāla mūsā rabbanā innaka ātayta fir`ʿawna wamala-ahu zīnatan wa-amwālan fī l-ayati l-dun`yā rabbanā liyuillū ʿan sabīlika rabbanā i`mis ʿalā amwālihim wa-ush`dud ʿalā qulūbihim falā yu`minū attā yarawū l-ʿadhāba l-alīma

 

The Aya says:

And Moses said: “Our nurturing lord, you have indeed provided Pharaoh and his entourage adornment and riches in this life.  Our nurturing lord to lead astray from your path.  Our lord make their riches null and make their hearts narrow so they will not attain faith until they have seen painful suffering.”

 

My personal note:

This is Moses’s prayer that Pharaoh and his people will not attain faith until they suffer in a painful way. 

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

waqāla: And said

Note: WA here is for initiation of a sentence that is connected to the previous subject.  QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person singular). This, in turn means: he said or responded or communicated. 

Mūsā: Moses

Rabbanā: our nurturing Lord

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.   RABBA is nurturing Lord of.  NA is for us.

 

Innaka: you (singular) with empahasis

Ātayta: gave / brought

Note: the root is Hamza-T-Y and it means coming with determination. The concrete word is for the water that flows in a place where it did not rain, therefore suggesting that the water came from somewhere else. ATA is an an action that is completed.  It means the action of making come the object (Zinatan= adornment) to the object (Pharaoh and his people) happened by the subject (third person singular) . 

fir`ʿawna: Pharaoh

wamala-ahu:  and his people/ and his entourage

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 is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. MALAA is derived from the root M-L-Hamza and it means filling or full. MALAI means the leaders or the big group. This is related to the full because the big group has the feeling of being full and the leaders are full of authority and supposed wisdom.  MALAA means followers or subordinates of/  HU means him and points to Pharaoh.

 

Zīnatan: adornment

Note: the root is Z-Y-N and it means what one puts on to add beauty to the look. It is used to cover clothes, jewelry and make up. For the land, it is the grass and the flowers.  ZINATAN is adornment that enhances their status and looks and so on.

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 is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better.  At other times it carries a contrast and in other times a beginning of a new statement related to what was previously mentioned.  Here it serves inclusion mostly.  AMWALAN is derived from the root M-W-L and it means what a person owns of gold and silver. This is used to mean anything owned or just money. AMWALU means moneys or any form of wealth including money but also property and so on.

Fī: in

-ayati: the life

Note: ALHAYATI is derived from the root ALHAYATI is derived from the root Ha-Y-W and it means life or movement.

Note: the root is D-N-W and it means nearness or nearing. ALDUNYA means the near. In this case, it points to this life that we are living in as the near.   ALDDUNYA is also this life that we are living.  ALHAYATI ALDDUNYA means this life.

Qulūbihim: their hearts/ their thoughts and emotions

Assalam o alaikum
I wanted to ask what about the meaning of رسل as it means messenger as well as to be slowpaced, long and flowing. Intimacy is also a meaning. To let oneself go.
Actually i don't understand arabic and i found all these meaning in an arabic dictionary.
It is from surah munafiqoon 63 surat.
I want to understand quran so i decided to look into it deeper not just with translation but with actual understanding.
I really adore what you are doing.
I pray may you finish the whole quran.
Because it helps a lot to people like me who are just blank in Arabic.
Allah hafiz
