أُوْلَـئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّهُ وَمَن يَلْعَنِ اللّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ نَصِيرًا
Olaika allatheena laAAanahumu Allahu waman yalAAani Allahu falan tajida lahu naseeran
The Aya says:
Those are the ones whom Allah had distanced from His mercy. And Whoever Allah expels from His mercy then you (singular) will never find for a him a supporter.
My personal note:
This Aya continues the theme of the previous one. It basically says that having safety in false beliefs and false worship leads to being expelled from God’s mercy. Being expelled from God’s mercy is the worst thing that can happen to a person. He is left with no support at all, since all support comes from God, directly or indirectly.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Olaika: those
Allatheena: the ones who
laAAanahumu: He distanced them/ He expelled them from mercy
Note: the root is L-Ain-N and it means distancing or expelling. It is used to mean curse in the form of distancing or expelling from nearness or mercy. The concrete word is scarecrow because it keeps away or at a distance the undesirable birds from the field. LaAAaNAHUMU is an action that is completed. It means that the action of expelling from mercy or distancing of the object (humu= them) happened by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah).
Allahu: Allah
Waman: and who/ whomever
yalAAani: He distances from mercy/ He expels from mercy/ He curses
Note: the root is L-Ain-N and it means distancing or expelling. It is used to mean curse in the form of distancing or expelling from nearness or mercy. The concrete word is scarecrow because it keeps away or at a distance the undesirable birds from the field. YALaAAaNI is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means that the action of expelling from mercy or distancing of the object (man= who) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah).
Allahu: Allah
Falan: then never
Tajida: will you (singular) find
Note: the root is W-J-D and it means in one concrete meaning the water that has accumulated in the desert. This is then used to mean a find that is really important. TAJIDA is an action that is derived from the root. It means: the action of finding is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular) to the object (lahu= to him or for him.).
Lahu: to him/ for him
Naseeran: a supporter
Note: the root N-Sad-R and it means aid or help at a time of need. NASEERA means: supporter or helper at the time of need.
Salaam all and have a great day.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبًا مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَؤُلاء أَهْدَى مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ سَبِيلاً
Alam tara ila allatheena ootoo naseeban mina alkitabi yuminoona bialjibti waalttaghooti wayaqooloona lillatheena kafaroo haolai ahda mina allatheena amanoo sabeelan
The Aya says:
Have you (singular) not seen to those who were given a portion of the book, they make themselves safe in false belief and transgressing worship?! And they say about those who rejected (Allah’s message): “Those (the rejecters) have a better guided path than the ones who made themselves safe (in Allah)”.
My personal note:
This Aya informs the followers of the Qur’an that some of the ones who followed the scriptures before us fell in false beliefs and worshipped false Gods in one way or another. They may have at times considered the rejecters of God and His message as better than the ones who have safety in Him. This is related to an incident where some of the people of the book of the time of the prophet told the rejecters that their religion is better than the religion that came with Muhammad (pbuh).
However, there is another message that is very important. Just as the ones who were given the book before us fell into this form of grave error, we may fall into this same error, consciously or unconsciously. We have to keep our guard up to maintain correct belief and worship and correct perspective.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Alam: did not?!
Note: this is a question form that brings the attention of the listener to what is being asked.
Tara: You (singular) see?
Note: the root R-Hamza-Y and it means viewing or seeing. TARA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of vision is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular). ALAM TARA takes the meaning of : Did you not see?
Ila: to/ about
Allatheena: those who
Ootoo: were given/ were 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. OOTOO is a completed action that is derived from the root. It means: the action of coming happened to the object (third person plural) by an undisclosed subject. It then means literally: they were brought/something was made to come to them.
Naseeban: A part/ A portion
Note: The root is N-Sad-B and it means something elevated that it can be seen. It then can take many other meanings as in pursuit of something elevated, uphill or difficult and tiring effort and a worshipped stature since it is usually elevated or pursued. NASEEB is used to mean a portion or part of something. When one places an entity on an elevated area, then it is ready to be picked by some and that may be the relation to portion to be picked and so on
Mina: of
Alkitabi: the book
Note: the root K-T-B and it means putting things together as in grouping the herd together or closing the lips or writing (the most common use), because in writing, one puts the letters and the ideas together. ALKITABA means, the process of writing or the book or anything related to it from the ideas to the ink and paper to the place where all is put together.
Yuminoona: they make themselves safe/ they trust
Note: the root Hamza-M-N and it means safety. Conceptually, it can also be extended to trust as well, because we feel safe in the entity we trust. YUMINOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making oneself safe is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).
bialjibti: in false beliefs
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If is the object of the action then it makes it stronger. In here the action is making become safe. ALJIBTI is a word that the dictionary considers not of Arabic origin. It is used to point to entities that are followed or worshipped by people for no benefit, such as idols, magic and astrology.
Waalttaghooti: and transgressing worship/ including transgressing worship/
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. ALTTAGHOOTI is derived from the root TTa-Ghain-Y and it means overwhelming to bad effect. It is used for the flood waters when they cause damage and destruction and so forth in the concrete sense and for any matter that overwhelms and leads to bad effects. ALTTAGHOOT points to the big matters that lead to bad effects. This can mean the idols that people worship or the leaders who actively fight God and his message.
Wayaqooloona: and they say/and they say/ communicate
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.

Kafaroo: rejected/ discarded
rejected/ discarded (the message or God).
Note: the root is K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it. This is then used conceptually for many purposes as in discarding and rejecting as well as burying. KAFARO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of rejection or discarding of the object (not declared, but understood from the context to point to God and/or the message) happened by the subject (third person plural).
Haolai: those
Ahda: more guided
Note: the root is H-D-Y and it means gift in all it’s forms and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. AHDA is more guided or more gifted with guidance.
Mina: from/ than
Allatheena: those who
Amanoo: made themselves safe
Note: the root is Hamza-M-N and it means safe or safety. AMANOO is an action that is derived from the root and that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (not mentioned and therefore the subject and the object can be the same entity here) become safe happened by the subject (third person plural). So, it ends up meaning: they made themselves safe.
Sabeelan: path
Note: the root is S-B-L and it means and it means flowing water from the falling rain from the sky to the flowing water in the river and so forth. This is the concrete and the other uses are related as in path, which allows the flow, to soft flowing hair and so forth. SABEELAN is the flowing water or the path. It takes the meaning of path or even the trip on the path.

The Aya says:
Watch how they concoct the untruth upon Allah, and sufficient by it (the concocted untruth) as self revealing injustice/sin.
My personal note:
One thing that I get out of this is how untruth can clearly be evident as untruth and how it can self reveal it’s untruthfulness. It may even make the truth clearer to those who have clear and unbiased minds.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Onthur: watch/ look/ observe
Note: ONTHUR is derived from the root N-THa-R and it means seeing/observing/watching with one side of the meaning stronger than the others according to the situation. At times it means giving reprieve or giving time to correct things and that stems from the observing/watching as if it is time of observation/watching. ONTHUR is a request or demand addressed to an individual. It means: watch, look, observe
Kayfa: how
Yaftaroona: they concoct/ they make up
Note: the root is F-R-W and it means the furr or the animal or the skin that is normally covered with hair. This word is used when people are concocting things and making things up that are not true. It could be related to the action of cutting the skin apart or making things up as in making a dress out of the skin and so forth. YAFTAROONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of concocting or making up untruths is being made to happen or will be made to happen by the subject (third person plural) for themselves.
AAala: upon
Allahi: Allah
Alkathiba: the untruth
Note: the root is K-TH-B and it means a untrue. Conceptually, it can be extended at times to mean a lie, although the core of the meaning is untruth, whether it is a lie or not, conscious or not. ALKATHIBA means the untruth.
Wakafa: and sufficient
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. KAFA is derived from the root K-F-W and it means meeting the challenge or the need in any way as in having done enough to meet that challenge and so forth. In this context, it takes the meaning of being sufficient.
Bihi: with him/ in him/ by him

Ithman: sin/ injustice
Note: the root is Hamza-TH-M and it means breaking of rule or rules of justice. This means error or fault with a tinge of knowing it. ITHM is the breaking of the rule or the law or the error or the fault and it fits closely with sin when knowing that it is sin. It is also injustice.
Mubeenan: clear/ revealing itself and others (sin or injustice)
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, ITHMAN MEBEEN carries the meaning of clear state of breaking of justice or self revealing as being injustice or great sin.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ بَلِ اللّهُ يُزَكِّي مَن يَشَاء وَلاَ يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلاً
Alam tara ila allatheena yuzakkoona anfusahum bali Allahu yuzakkee man yashao wala yuthlamoona fateelan
The Aya says:
Do you (singular) not see to those who declare fruitfulness to themselves?! But instead, Allah makes fruitful whoever He wills. And they will not be treated unjustly by a trace.
My personal note:
The Aya looks skeptically at people who become full of themselves and declare themselves to be mature and pure and fruitful. The Aya reminds us that Allah is the one who declares us fruitful or not. He is also the one who helps us become fruitful and mature and pure. The Aya reminds us of God’s extreme justice so that we will never claim that God made some pure and others not pure, out of injustice. God is always, Just, Wise and Merciful to all his creation.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Alam: did not?!
Note: this is a question form that brings the attention of the listener to what is being asked.
Tara: You (singular) see?
Note: the root R-Hamza-Y and it means viewing or seeing. TARA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of vision is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular). ALAM TARA takes the meaning of : Did you not see?
Ila: to
Allatheena: those who
Yuzakkoona: claim fruitfulness/ maturity
Note: the root is Z-K-W and it means maturing/growing. In the concrete it means bringing about fruit. YUZAKKOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making the object (ANfusahum= themselves) bear fruit is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural and it is the same as the object). The “Making bear fruit” carries the potential meaning of claiming to be bearing fruit or mature, or working on it. The context here is pointing to the people who claim that they are mature or bearing fruit, rather than the ones who work on becoming so.
Anfusahum: themselves
Note: ANFUS is derived from the root N-F-S and it means to breath but is extended to mean self since the self breathes and that defines her existence. ANFUSA is a noun that is derived from this root and it means Selves of. HUM means them.
Bali: but instead
Allahu: Allah
Yuzakkee: makes mature/ declares maturity/ fruitfulness
Note: the root is Z-K-W and it means maturing/growing. In the concrete it means bringing about fruit. YUZAKKEE is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making the object (man yashao= whoever He wills) bear fruit is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural and it is the same as the object). The “Making bear fruit” carries the potential meaning of claiming to be bearing fruit or mature, or working on it. The context here carries both meanings with particular response to the declaring or claiming maturity to people.
Man: whoever
Yashao: He wills/ He entities
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).
wala: and not
Yuthlamoona: be transgressed against/will be treated unfairly
Note: the root is THa-L-M and it means darkness. This is one of the concrete meanings and it is used to mean decisions made in darkness which include transgression and displacement of right and wrong. YUTHLaMOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of being transgressing is happening or will be happening by the subject (undisclosed) to the object (third person plural). “Wala Yuthalmoon” in turn means: they will not be transgressed against or they will not be treated unfairly.
Fateelan: a trace
Note: the root is F-T-L and it means rubbing one finger opposite another, either to twist a thread or rope or to remove some dirt or otherwise. FATEEL is the product of that and it can be a thin twisted rope or the trace dirt that comes out. Conceptually, in this situation, it points to trace or very little.

The context here is pointing to the people who claim that they are mature or bearing fruit, rather than the ones who work on becoming so.
Anfusahum: themselves
Note: ANFUS is derived from the root N-F-S and it means to breath but is extended to mean self since the self breathes and that defines her existence. ANFUSA is a noun that is derived from this root and it means Selves of. HUM means them.
Bali: but instead
Allahu: Allah
Yuzakkee: makes mature/ declares maturity/ fruitfulness
Note: the root is Z-K-W and it means maturing/growing. In the concrete it means bringing about fruit. YUZAKKEE is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making the object (man yashao= whoever He wills) bear fruit is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural and it is the same as the object). The “Making bear fruit” carries the potential meaning of claiming to be bearing fruit or mature, or working on it. The context here carries both meanings with particular response to the declaring or claiming maturity to people.
Man: whoever
Yashao: He wills/ He entities
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).
wala: and not
Yuthlamoona: be transgressed against/will be treated unfairly
Note: the root is THa-L-M and it means darkness. This is one of the concrete meanings and it is used to mean decisions made in darkness which include transgression and displacement of right and wrong. YUTHLaMOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of being transgressing is happening or will be happening by the subject (undisclosed) to the object (third person plural). “Wala Yuthalmoon” in turn means: they will not be transgressed against or they will not be treated unfairly.
Fateelan: a trace
Note: the root is F-T-L and it means rubbing one finger opposite another, either to twist a thread or rope or to remove some dirt or otherwise. FATEEL is the product of that and it can be a thin twisted rope or the trace dirt that comes out. Conceptually, in this situation, it points to trace or very little.

Salaam all.
This is 4:48
إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاء وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرَى إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا
Inna Allaha la yaghfiru an yushraka bihi wayaghfiru ma doona thalika liman yashao waman yushrik biAllahi faqadi iftara ithman AAatheeman
The Aya says:
Indeed, Allah does not forgive that He be worshiped along with partners. And he forgives what is short of that to whomever He wills. And whoever worships partners with Allah then indeed, he concocted a great injustice.
My personal note:
I translated YUSHRAKA BIHI as being worshiped with partners. Literally, it gets a meaning of “He is made to partner with”. Worship is used here in the widest range of meaning as “dealing with an entity while being awed by it, knowing that your acts of worship should be directed at it, that your existence depends on it, and that help comes from it”. Those feelings and the acts that stem from those feelings should be only for God. In this is the meaning of the word ALLAH as the one worthy of worship.
The Aya continues that worshipping God along with partners is the greatest injustice, which God does not forgive, except when one leaves that belief and moves to monotheism.
The other issue is the issue of "whoever He wills". The message here is that the "whoever He wills" is determined by God's mercy, justice and wisdom.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Inna: indeed
Allaha: Allah
La: not
Yaghfiru: forgive/ protectively cover
Note: the root GH-F-R and it means the helmet of the soldier in the battle. This one of the concrete words and the word is therefore used to mean protective covering in many fashions as in protecting the person from the error or protecting the person from the consequence of error and that is forgiveness.

It means: the action of forgiving or protectively covering is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to God).
An: that
Yushraka: given equal partner

It means: the action of giving partner to the object (Bihi= with him) is happening or will be happening by an undeclared subject.
Bihi: with Him/ in him
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. HI means him and it points to Allah.
Wayaghfiru: and he forgives/ and he protectively covers
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. YAGHFIRU is derived from the root GH-F-R and it means the helmet of the soldier in the battle. This one of the concrete words and the word is therefore used to mean protective covering in many fashions as in protecting the person from the error or protecting the person from the consequence of error and that is forgiveness.

It means: the action of forgiving or protectively covering is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to God).

biAllahi: : in Allah

Note: the root is F-R-W and it means the furr or the animal or the skin that is normally covered with hair. This word is used when people are concocting things and making things up that are not true.

Salaam all,
This is 4:47
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ آمِنُواْ بِمَا نَزَّلْنَا مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّطْمِسَ وُجُوهًا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَى أَدْبَارِهَا أَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَّا أَصْحَابَ السَّبْتِ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللّهِ مَفْعُولاً
Ya ayyuha allatheena ootoo alkitaba aminoo bima nazzalna musaddiqan lima maAAakum min qabli an natmisa wujoohan fanaruddaha AAala adbariha aw nalAAanahum kama laAAanna ashaba alssabti wakana amru Allahi mafAAoolan
The Aya says:
O those who were given the book, make yourselves safe in what we brought down, making true to what is with you (plural), before we harshly cover faces, therefore we repel them on their behind, or we distance them (from us) as we distanced the companions of the Sabath. And the implement/ order of Allah happened to be done.
My personal note:
This Aya continues the theme of the previous one. It now communicates with the people of the book, where the text seems to suggest Jews and Christians. It asks them to make themselves safe in what came down, as it makes true what they have. “Making true” carries the meaning of declaring something as truth. It may also potentially carry the meaning of correcting the potential untruth that may be contained in it.
The Aya, as it calls for the acceptance in calmness, also carries a warning of tough consequences, mainly the distancing from God, which is the worst thing that can happen to anyone.
The Aya points to what happened to the “companions of the Sabath”. This is pointing to Aya 2:65 in which God punished the people who broke the rule of the Sabath amongst the Israelites.
Translation of the transliterated words:

Note: the three words used here are callings.

Salaam all,
This is 4:46
مِّنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُواْ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِ وَيَقُولُونَ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَاسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍ وَرَاعِنَا لَيًّا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَطَعْنًا فِي الدِّينِ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَاسْمَعْ وَانظُرْنَا لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ وَأَقْوَمَ وَلَكِن لَّعَنَهُمُ اللّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً
Mina allatheena hadoo yuharrifoona alkalima AAan mawadiAAihi wayaqooloona samiAAna waAAasayna waismaAA ghayra musmaAAin waraAAina layyan bialsinatihim wataAAnan fee alddeeni walaw annahum qaloo samiAAna waataAAna waismaAA waonthurna lakana khayran lahum waaqwama walakin laAAanahumu Allahu bikufrihim fala yuminoona illa qaleelan
The Aya says:
Amongst those who were Jewish (some) who edge the statements away from it’s place and they say: we comprehended and we disobeyed and you (singular) listen, not listened to, and you (singular) pay us attention, twisting with their tongues, and stabbing in the religion. And if they said: We comprehended and we obeyed and you (singular) listen and watch over us, then it would have been better for them and more upright. But Allah distanced them from his mercy by their rejection, so they do not make themselves safe (in Him), if not a little.
My personal statement:
The Aya starts with amongst, which points to the fact that it covers some Jews while not covering others, therefore avoiding generalization. According to the books of Tafsir, it relates a response to the message of the prophet by some of the Jews of Medina. The Aya then goes about the statements of that group which are considered wrong. The Aya mentions the issue of Tahrif, which I translated as edging of the statement from it’s place. This could be by playing with the words or playing with the meanings of the words.
The Aya continues with the very complex statement that was said by a group of the Jews of Medina to the prophet (pbuh). The three words that were contestable are “We disobeyed”. The Aya mentioned the preferred one “We obeyed”. Muslims Like others, disobey, but the important is the intention to obey rather than the intention to disobey as in the statement from that group. The other contested word is “RaAAiNA= pay us attention/ treat us preferentially” and the preferred term is “onthurna= watch over us”, also mentioned later in the Aya. The third word is “GHAYRA MUSMAaiN= not listened to and not listening at the same time” and it was addressing the prophet. There was no alternative in the Aya for this because that statement is an attack at the person of the prophet (pbuh).
The end of the Aya was “They do not make themselves safe in Allah, if not a little”. The meaning of this is that the extent of their “Iman= Safety in Allah” ranges from absence to just a little. Basically saying “if there is not a little, then there is nothing.”
Translation of the transliterated words:
Mina: from/ amongst
Allatheena: those who
Hadoo: became Jewish/ were Jewish

In this context, the “edging “of the word takes the meaning of pushing the word off the edge. This can be due to changing some of it’s letters, or changing the meaning of the word, so that it becomes derailed and off it’s edge in both instances.
Alkalima: the statements/ the words
Note: the root K-L-M and it means wound or opening of the skin and that is the concrete word.

Salaam all,
This is 4:45
وَاللّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَعْدَائِكُمْ وَكَفَى بِاللّهِ وَلِيًّا وَكَفَى بِاللّهِ نَصِيرًا
WaAllahu aAAlamu biaAAdaikum wakafa biAllahi waliyyan wakafa biAllahi naseeran
The Aya says:
And Allah (is) more knowing of your enemies, and sufficient by Allah as guardian and sufficient by Allah as supporter.
My personal note:
The aya continues the previous theme. It reiterates that Allah is more knowing of the enemies of his people. It then reiterates that the best guardian and supporter a person could have, is God. This is a reminder, that no matter how tempting having another guardian and supporter is, God remains the best and that is one essence of monotheism in action.
Translation of the transliterated words:
WaAllahu: and Allah/ while Allah
aAAlamu: more knowing/ better knowing
Note: the root is Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. aAALAMU is the one who has more or better knowledge.
biaAAdaikum: of your (plural) enemies/ in your enemies
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. aAADAIKUM is derived from the root Ain-D-W and it means running or overstepping boundaries since the running is a form of overstepping a boundary. aAADAI in this context means enemies of, KUM means plural you.
Wakafa: and sufficient
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. KAFA is derived from the root K-F-W and it means meeting the challenge or the need in any way as in having done enough to meet that challenge and so forth. In this context, it takes the meaning of being sufficient.
biAllahi: by Allah/ in Allah
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. ALLAH is Allah
Waliyyan: guardian
Note: the root is W-L-Y and it means direction or following direction with some guarantee. It comes close to guardianship. WALIYYAN is either the one who is a guardian or the one who receives guardianship of another or both. In this context, it takes the meaning of guardian, because God is always a guardian and not a receiver of guardianship of others.

Alam tara ila allatheena ootoo naseeban mina alkitabi yashtaroona alddalalata wayureedoona an tadilloo alssabeela
The Aya says:
Have you (singular pointing to Muhammad) not seen to those who were brought a portion of the book, they buy the misguidance and they seek that you (plural) loose the path (to guidance)?!
My personal note:
The aya points to some of the people of the book buying or taking misguidance and then wishing that others do the same.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Alam: did not?!
Note: this is a question form that brings the attention of the listener to what is being asked.
Tara: You (singular) see?
Note: the root R-Hamza-Y and it means viewing or seeing. TARA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of vision is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular). ALAM TARA takes the meaning of : Did you not see?

Ootoo: were given/ were 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. OOTOO is a completed action that is derived from the root. It means: the action of coming happened to the object (third person plural) by an undisclosed subject. It then means literally: they were brought/something was made to come to them.
Naseeban: A part/ A portion
Note: The root is N-Sad-B and it means something elevated that it can be seen. It then can take many other meanings as in pursuit of something elevated, uphill or difficult and tiring effort and a worshipped stature since it is usually elevated or pursued. NASEEB is used to mean a portion or part of something. When one places an entity on an elevated area, then it is ready to be picked by some and that may be the relation to portion to be picked and so on
Mina: of
Alkitabi: the book
Note: the root K-T-B and it means putting things together as in grouping the herd together or closing the lips or writing (the most common use), because in writing, one puts the letters and the ideas together.

Yashtaroona: they buy to themselves/ they take in exchange

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. YUREEDOONA is derived from the root R-W-D and it means in concrete the person that goes ahead of the people looking for resources. Therefore, the word has within it the meanings of pioneering, seeking and desiring. YUREEDOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means that the action making seeking/desiring/wanting is happening by the subject (third person plural). This in turn means: they desire/ want or seek.

Salaam all,
This is 4:43
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَقْرَبُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّىَ تَعْلَمُواْ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلاَ جُنُبًا إِلاَّ عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىَ تَغْتَسِلُواْ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاء أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّن الْغَآئِطِ أَوْ لاَمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاء فَلَمْ تَجِدُواْ مَاء فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la taqraboo alssalata waantum sukara hatta taAAlamoo ma taqooloona wala junuban illa AAabiree sabeelin hatta taghtasiloo wain kuntum marda aw AAala safarin aw jaa ahadun minkum mina alghaiti aw lamastumu alnnisaa falam tajidoo maan fatayammamoo saAAeedan tayyiban faimsahoo biwujoohikum waaydeekum inna Allaha kana AAafuwwan ghafooran
The Aya says:
O those who made themselves safe (in Allah), do not come near prayer in altered minds in order that you know what you say. And not after ejaculation if not passing a path, until you bathe. And if you were ill or on travel or one of you came from the bathroom, or touched the women interactively, so you did not find water, then seek good dust/ top of the earth, then rub your faces and your hands. Indeed, Allah happened to be eraser (of sins), forgiving.
My personal note:
The term Lamastum annisaa which carries the meaning of touched women interactively can be understood as meaning only sex with women, which was the understanding of Ibn Abbas and the majority of Muslims. It can also be understood as any touching of women, which was the understanding of Imam Shafii, or it can be understood as any touching between women and men that takes a sexual tone to it. It seems to me that Shafii’s understanding is a little too literal and therefore I may go with option 1 or three.
The Aya orders us not to come near prayer when our minds are altered. This includes the state of drunkenness or any state that alters the mind, including extreme sleepiness. That is why the prophet (pbuh), in one of the hadeeths, mentioned that if one is too sleepy, then let him go back to sleep and wake up later to do prayer.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya ayyuha allatheena: O those who

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَقْرَبُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّىَ تَعْلَمُواْ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلاَ جُنُبًا إِلاَّ عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىَ تَغْتَسِلُواْ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاء أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّن الْغَآئِطِ أَوْ لاَمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاء فَلَمْ تَجِدُواْ مَاء فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la taqraboo alssalata waantum sukara hatta taAAlamoo ma taqooloona wala junuban illa AAabiree sabeelin hatta taghtasiloo wain kuntum marda aw AAala safarin aw jaa ahadun minkum mina alghaiti aw lamastumu alnnisaa falam tajidoo maan fatayammamoo saAAeedan tayyiban faimsahoo biwujoohikum waaydeekum inna Allaha kana AAafuwwan ghafooran
The Aya says:
O those who made themselves safe (in Allah), do not come near prayer in altered minds in order that you know what you say. And not after ejaculation if not passing a path, until you bathe. And if you were ill or on travel or one of you came from the bathroom, or touched the women interactively, so you did not find water, then seek good dust/ top of the earth, then rub your faces and your hands. Indeed, Allah happened to be eraser (of sins), forgiving.
My personal note:
The term Lamastum annisaa which carries the meaning of touched women interactively can be understood as meaning only sex with women, which was the understanding of Ibn Abbas and the majority of Muslims. It can also be understood as any touching of women, which was the understanding of Imam Shafii, or it can be understood as any touching between women and men that takes a sexual tone to it. It seems to me that Shafii’s understanding is a little too literal and therefore I may go with option 1 or three.
The Aya orders us not to come near prayer when our minds are altered. This includes the state of drunkenness or any state that alters the mind, including extreme sleepiness. That is why the prophet (pbuh), in one of the hadeeths, mentioned that if one is too sleepy, then let him go back to sleep and wake up later to do prayer.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya ayyuha allatheena: O those who

Salaam all,
This is 4:42
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَعَصَوُاْ الرَّسُولَ لَوْ تُسَوَّى بِهِمُ الأَرْضُ وَلاَ يَكْتُمُونَ اللّهَ حَدِيثًا
Yawmaithin yawaddu allatheena kafaroo waAAasawoo alrrasoola law tusawwa bihimu alardu wala yaktumoona Allaha hadeethan
The Aya says:
That day, the ones who rejected including disobeyed the envoy (of God) will wish that the earth will be leveled by them, and they will not suppress Allah’s saying /action.
My personal note:
The law is a conditional which carries skepticism in it often. Therefore, the Aya carries that they will wish that the earth will be leveled by them, as in they become earth, but the message is that will not happen.
The end of the Aya “La yaktumoon Allah Hadeethan” has a width of meanings. Hadeethan means conceptually happening, which can cover saying and actions and news of the entity. LA YAKTUMOONA Allaha Hadeethan carries the dual meaning of:
1- They do not suppress the happenings of Allah, as His sayings, actions and news, from others.
2- They do not suppress their own happenings, as sayings actions and news, from Allah.
Both are correct and are covered by the sentence. That is part of the depth of the Qur’an, the richness and width of meanings within it’s sentences.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Yawmaithin: that day/ day when
Note: the root is Y-W-M and it means day. YAWM means a day and it spans a day and night cycle. YAWMA means day of. ITHIN means then. YAWMAITHIN then takes the meaning of day when, on that day.

Note: the root is W-D-D and it means proper love. This means that this love is correct in all it’s angles and not placed in the wrong place.

Allatheena: those who
Kafaroo: rejected/ discarded (the message or God).
Note: the root is K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it.

It means: the action of rejection or discarding of the object (not declared, but understood from the context to point to God and/or the message) happened by the subject (third person plural).
waAAasawoo: and disobeyed/including disobeyed
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. AAaSAWOO is derived from the root Ain-Sad-Y and it means to go against order/to resist an order, for the verb and the action for the noun. The concrete word is Stick and Staff. The relationship to the above abstract meaning is the fact that the Stick is rigid and unbending, as well as the fact the Stick got detached from the tree. AAaSAWOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of disobeying the object (alrrasool= the messenger/ envoy) happened by the subject (third person plural).

Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If is the object of the action then it makes it stronger. HIMU means them.
Alardu: the earth/ the land

Wala: and not
Yaktumoona: they suppress/ they hide

It means: the action of suppressing or hiding the object (ALLAHA hadeethan= speech or news of Allah) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).
Allaha: Allah

This is 4:41
فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِن كُلِّ أمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَـؤُلاء شَهِيدًا
Fakayfa itha jina min kulli ommatin bishaheedin wajina bika AAala haolai shaheedan
The Aya says:
So, how about if/when we came, from every nation, with a witness, and we came with you (singular) upon those, a witness.
My personal note:
The word ITHA is a conditional term that relates to time. Therefore it often carries a meaning that mixes if and when together.
The Aya is telling us that on the Day of Judgment God will bring a witness from every nation to witness on that nation. It tells the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that he will witness on “those”. " Those" may be pointing to:
1- The ones he came to and to whom he gave his message, believer or non believer.
2- Everyone who received his message or claims to be following his message.
Both meanings are possible and applicable. For his contemporaries, he would witness on how they responded, as for the ones who claimed following him, then he can witness whether what they claimed he ordered was actually ordered or not by him.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Fakayfa: then how/ how about
Itha: if/when
Jina: We brought/ we came
Note: the root is J-Y-Hamza and it means coming. One concrete word that is derived from this word is the pool where the rain water comes. JINA is an action that is completed and that is derived from the root. It means that the action of coming happened by the subject (first person plural pointing to God or God and angels).

Ommatin: nation
Note: the root is Hamza-M-M and it means mother or sources/origin if said as UMM and destination if said as AMM. OMMA are conceptually people of the same mother or source and possibly of the same destination. The word, in Arabic is used to mean nation, but it can apply to any group that may share the same goal or origin or both.
Bishaheedin: with a witness/ by a witness
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If is the object of the action then it makes it stronger. In here the action is making become safe. SHAHEED is derived from the root SH-H-D and it means witnessing of truth and it also denotes that the witness knows very well what he or she is witnessing about. The concrete meaning is the honey mixed with wax therefore the wax is the witness of the truth that the honey is the honey. Another concrete meaning is the baby that was just born and is covered with a membrane. In both, there is close association which is proof or witness of the fact. SHAHEED is a witness
Wajina: and we came
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. JINA is derived from the root J-Y-Hamza and it means coming. One concrete word that is derived from this word is the pool where the rain water comes.

إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا
Inna Allaha la yathlimu mithqala tharratin wain taku hasanatan yudaAAifha wayuti min ladunhu ajran AAatheeman
The Aya says:
Indeed, Allah does not do injustice to measure of an atom. And if it happens to be act of goodness, He multiplies it, and gives from His presence, great reward.
My personal note:
The word YATHLIMU carries the meaning of darkness and often, decision in darkness, or displacing something out of place. It takes the meaning of injustice because injustice is a decision in darkness and displacing things out of place. Here, God tells us that even the measure of the atom will be put in it’s rightful right place. This applies to everything including our deeds. It further tells us about the generosity of God. It tells us that He multiplies our acts of goodness from His grace.

The Aya says:
And those who spend their money showing the people and they do not make themselves safe in Allah and in the Day of Judgment. And whoever happens to have Satan as his close associate, then worse of associates.
