إِذْ أَنتُم بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُم بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوَى وَالرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدتَّمْ لاَخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِي الْمِيعَادِ وَلَـكِن لِّيَقْضِيَ اللّهُ أَمْراً كَانَ مَفْعُولاً لِّيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَى مَنْ حَيَّ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ وَإِنَّ اللّهَ لَسَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Ith antum bialAAudwati alddunya wahum bialAAudwati alquswa waalrrakbu asfala minkum walaw tawaAAadtum laikhtalaftum fee almeeAAadi walakin liyaqdiya Allahu amran kana mafAAoolan liyahlika man halaka AAan bayyinatin wayahya man hayya AAan bayyinatin wainna Allaha lasameeAAun AAaleemun

The Aya says:
As you (plural) are at the closer edge and they at the further edge, while the caravan is below you, and had you made an appointment then you would have differed in the appointment, but instead in order that Allah implement a matter to be done. In order that those who perish will perish upon clear proofs and those who thrive will thrive on clear proof. And Allah is indeed listening, knowing.

My personal note:
The Aya brings the picture of the battle that happened where the Muslims were at the edge of the valley closer to Medina and there enemies on the farther edge, while the caravan in question was below all of that.

The last statement related to perishing or thriving uses words that mean death or life but those two words can also point to vigor and thriving and the lack of them. In this context it could be pointing to both because some lived while others died in this battle and also the Qur’an uses the language of living and dying for belief and those who lack it. Basically, a person thrives and gains good vigor by attaining belief and lacks it by rejecting the message.

وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَأَنَّ لِلّهِ خُمُسَهُ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ إِن كُنتُمْ آمَنتُمْ بِاللّهِ وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى عَبْدِنَا يَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ وَاللّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

The Aya says:
And be aware that whatever you acquired then to Allah belongs it’s fifth and to the messenger and the relatives and the orphans and the poor and the traveler if you happen to be trusting in Allah and what We sent down upon our servant, the day of the differentiation, the day when the two groups met (for battle). And Allah is upon everything capable.

My personal note:
The aya brings an important ruling and that is if there is war gains then a fifth should be taken apart for those categories and the rest for the fighters. One may ask about the relevance of what belongs to Allah and the messenger since the prophet is dead and Allah does not take it. The scholars of Islam understood it as that money will be left for the leaders of the community to divide it according to their best understanding of the scripture of where that money should be spent in light of the circumstance of the community and in addition to the other groups that were mentioned in the same aya.

Wain tawallaw faiAAlamoo anna Allaha mawlakum niAAma almawla waniAAma alnnaseeru

The Aya says:
And if they follow their own path, then be aware that Allah is your guardian, Best of the guardian and best of the supporter.

My personal note:
This Aya contrasts the two potential decisions of the rejecters. The first one from the previous Aya talks about desisting or stopping the aggression and persecution. In that context if they did it then Muslims are asked to let their matter be to Allah and not worry about their hearts.

In here is the other option and that is they follow their own path and that means continue aggression and persecution so in that case then Allah reassures the Muslims that He is their Guardian and will take care of them and there is not a better Guardian than Allah.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wain: and if/ while if
tawallaw: move away/ ignore/ follow their path
TAWALLAW is derived from the root W-L-Y and it means direction or following direction with some guarantee. It comes close to guardianship.

Waqatiloohum hatta la takoona fitnatun wayakoona alddeenu kulluhu lillahi faini intahaw fainna Allaha bima yaAAmaloona baseerun

The Aya says:
And fight them so there will be no persecution and the accountability will all be for Allah. So if they stop then Allah, in what they do, all seeing.

My personal note:
The Aya and the whole chapter is about the first battle between the muslim state that was established in Medina and the people of Mecca who persecuted them and forced many of them to migrate and leave.

The Aya says to fight them so that there is no persecution/ severe test through persecution and therefore explained to them the reason for the fight. It is to remove persecution and to allow them to practice their religion and religious obligations all for the sake of Allah without persecution or hindrance imposed by others.
I translated the word DEEN and accountability which is my new way of looking at that word. The word is often translated as religion but it carries with it a sense of accountability and obligation. The word itself comes in the Qur’an to mean law and also accountability and judgement as in the day of deen in the first Sura of the Qur’an to point to the day of Judgement.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waqatiloohum: and fight them
Note: WA here is in order to start a statement or a sentence. QATILOOHUM is derived from the root Qaf-T-L and it means killing or actions that potentially can lead to death including injury and others. QATILOOHUM is an order addressed to a group. It means fight them
Hatta: until/ in order to
La; not

fitnatun: a test/ a severe test/ a trial/ severe test through persecution
Note: the root is F-T-N and it means in concrete form, the melting of Gold or silver in order to know the pure from the impure or the true from the fake. Therefore, in abstract, the word suggests an extreme test with hardship in it, or a burn with fire or even taking someone’s eyes with the glitter of the false Gold and silver. Here, it means the severe test or trial. FITNATUN means testing and trialing.

Wayakoona: and be/ and becomes
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. YAKOONA is derived from the root K-W-N and it means being. YAKOONU is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means: it will be or it becomes.
Alddeenu: the law/ the religion/ the accountability
Note: the root is D-Y-N and it means debt or law or religion. What groups them together is the concept of obligation and accountability, since religion is the obligation of man towards God. DEENAN is obligation or religion, with religion being the obligation of man towards God.

Kulluhu: all of it
Note: KULLA is derived from the root K-L-L and it means the parts put together. This is the concrete and it means all or every or each. It can also be extended conceptually to mean the parts surrounding an entity. KULLU means all of. HU means him and points to the Deen which is the law/ religion/ accountability.

Lillahi: belongs to Allah

Intahaw; they desisted/ they stopped

It means: the action of ordering or making oneself to cease and desist happened by the subject (third person plural). Here it is a beginning of a conditional statement so it expects an answer.

Fainna: then
Allaha: Allah
Bima: in what
Note: BI signifies an attachment or close linkage between what is before and what is after it. In a Verbal sentence it can mean attachment to the action or to the subject as it does the action. This attachment can then signify many things according to the verb and to the sentence and so on.
yaAAmaloona: they do/ to do
Note: the root is Ain-M-L and it means doing or work. YaAAaMALOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of doing or making is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). The combination of KANOO YaAAMALOON gives the impression of this: they happened to be doing or they happened to do.
Baseerun: seeing/ all seeing
Note: The root is B-Sad-R and it is the sense of the eye. It also has the meaning of seeing deeply. Seeing deeply means the concrete, but it can be applied to the deep vision of the brain, the insight. BASEERUN means seeing or all seeing

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad) to those who rejected: “If they desist then what passed will be forgiven, while if they return then the consistent repeated precedent of the past generations had already been established”

My personal note:
The Aya is addressing the prophet Muhammad upon him be peace but any muslim that wants to carry the message. It mentions that when the rejector desists from acting against Allah and his path then all his or her past actions will be forgiven while if they do come back to the animosity then it reminds them that the precedent of what Allah will do to them had already been set and established.

Lillatheena: to those who
Kafaroo: rejected (Allah and His message)/ discarded

لِيَمِيزَ اللّهُ الْخَبِيثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ وَيَجْعَلَ الْخَبِيثَ بَعْضَهُ عَلَىَ بَعْضٍ فَيَرْكُمَهُ جَمِيعاً فَيَجْعَلَهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
Liyameeza Allahu alkhabeetha mina alttayyibi wayajAAala alkhabeetha baAAdahu AAala baAAdin fayarkumahu jameeAAan fayajAAalahu fee jahannama olaika humu alkhasiroona

The Aya says:
In order that Allah separates the bad from the good and makes the bad some on top of some so He piles it all and makes it in the hell fire. Those are the losers.

My personal note:
There is a new word here and that is the word YARKUM which means to pile something on top of others to make a big pile that can be the big cloud or artificial hill and so on.

The point here is that Allah will separate the good from the bad in the way they function in this life and relate to His scripture. May Allah make us amongst the good that always respond to His messages and inspiratioins.

WA is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. YAJAAaLA is derived from the root J-Ain-L and it means making, forming or transforming something that already exists. Conceptually, it takes the meaning of transformation more often than formation.

The Aya says:
Indeed those who reject spend their money in order block Allah’s path. So, they will spend it and eventually it will be upon them a regret then eventually they will be defeated. And those who reject will be gathered towards the Hell.

My personal note:
This is a message of where one should invest his or her money and that we should never invest it in blocking Allah’s path because it will be burden and a regret and we never win against Allah. May Allah guide us always to be on His path.

وَمَا كَانَ صَلاَتُهُمْ عِندَ الْبَيْتِ إِلاَّ مُكَاء وَتَصْدِيَةً فَذُوقُواْ الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ

Wama kana salatuhum AAinda albayti illa mukaan watasdiyatan fathooqoo alAAathaba bima kuntum takfuroona

The Aya says:
And their prayers at the house were not but whistling and clapping. Therefore taste the suffering by what you used to reject.

My personal note:
In this is the importance of the prayers to be meaningful and not just noises but no messages contained within them. So, we should pay attention to the words in our prayers for they mean something and serve an important purpose.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wama: and not
Kana: was/ happened to be

AAinda: at
Albayti: the home/ the shelter/ the mosque
Note: the root is B-Y-T and it means to reach the night and BAYT is the place that you spend the night in. It is also used for any structure that can be used for that purpose and for animal dwellings. Therefore BAYT is closer to a shelter as the conceptual meaning and within that meaning falls the home or the house.

Illa: except/ if not
Mukaan: whistling
Note: the root is M-K-Y or M-K-W and it means whistling and is usually used for the sound that comes from birds or snakes. MUKAAN means whistling.
Watasdiyatan: and clapping
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. TASDIYATAN is derived from the root Sad-D-Y and it means the echo from the mountains. In here it points to clapping and therefore trying to make for clapping sounds and so on.
Fathooqoo: so taste it
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. THOOQOO is derived from the root TH-W-Qaf and it means taste in all it’s aspects. In a conceptual fashion, it is the sensation THOOQOO is an order or a request addressed to a group. It means: taste.

وَمَا لَهُمْ أَلاَّ يُعَذِّبَهُمُ اللّهُ وَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُواْ أَوْلِيَاءهُ إِنْ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُ إِلاَّ الْمُتَّقُونَ وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ

The Aya says:
And why would Allah not punish them while they make obstacles from the Mosque that is forbidden to violate and they were not it’s guardians. It’s guardians are none other than the God mindful however, the majority of them do not know.

My personal note:
The Aya does continue the same subject is that they are deserving of punishment for the stated sin of blocking the path from prayer for the believers from the Mosque. The Aya does bring about that while they were prevented from punishment while the prophet was with them and while some of them at least ask for forgiveness, the moment that those leave then the punishment may happen.

In this is a message to any nation to not mistreat the pious and God conscious of it’s population.

Almasjidi: the place of worship/ place of sujood/ mosque

It therefore is used conceptually to mean tilting downward of the face or the body including prostration as well as showing any sign of submission to a higher power. The range of meaning all those meanings together and one needs to understand it as both unless there is a strong reason in the sentence or elsewhere in the Qur’an to make one meaning inappropriate or impossible.
