كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَآ أَلاَ بُعْداً لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ

 

Ka-al-lam yaghnaw feehaaa; alaa bu'dal li Madyana Kamaa ba'idat Thamood

The Aya says:

As if they did not prosper in it.  Indeed banishment for Madian as Thamood got banished.

 

My personal note:

The Aya reminds us that the prosperity of a place is not a guarantee for its protection from demise and punishment.  The only protection is through God alone.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

ka-an: as if

lam: not

yaghnaw: they prospered

Note: the root is Ghain-N-Y and it means freedom from need in any of it’s forms. The word is used to mean rich, because the rich has less needs or no financial need or no need for assistance. YAGHNAW is an action that is happening or will be happening.  It means: the action of becoming rich or prosper is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).  However, because of the negation before it then it takes a past tense form somehow.

 

Fīhā: in her/ on her

alaa bu'dan: Indeed distancing/ indeed banishing

Note: ALAA here is a term to prepare for what comes and gives It emphasis.  BuAADAN is derived from the root B-Ain-D and it means further in time or space. In space it means farther in distance and in time, it means after.  BuAADAN means farthering away or distancing and in this context points to banishing from Go’d mercy.

 

 liMadyana: To Madian

Kamaa: as/ like

ba'idat: distanced/ banished

Note: the root is B-Ain-D and it means further in time or space. In space it means farther in distance and in time, it means after.  BaIIDAT is an action that is completed, it means: the action of becoming distant/ banished happened by the subject (third person singular or plural)

The Aya says:

And when our order came, we saved Shuaib and those who had faith with him by mercy from ours and the scream took the transgressors, so they became in their homes still.

And my people work according to your way.  I am working.  You will know who will receive suffering that humiliates him and who is untruthful.  And watch.  I am with you, watching.

He (Shuaib) responded: “O my people, are my people more formidable to you than Allah?! And you relegated him behind your back.  Indeed, my nurturing Lord is, in what you do, surrounding.”

The Aya says:

They responded: “O Shuaib, we do not understand much of what you say.  And we look at you as being weak, and if not for your group then we would have kicked you out and you are not worthy/ powerful to us.

 

My personal note:

The people are letting him know that they look down at him and that they tolerate him for his group that may support him which can be a family or clan or other forms of support.  I translated the last word Azeez as worthy because that can be part of the meaning of the word as great status and respect and so on.  It also can mean someone who is very strong and is difficult to defeat and pressure and so on.  Both meanings can apply.
