nuriyannaka baʿḍa alladhī naʿiduhum aw natawaffayannaka fa-ilaynā marjiʿuhum thumma l-lahu shahīdun ʿalā mā yafʿalūna
The Aya
says:
And
whether we show you (O Muhammad) some of what We promise them or we take you,
then their return is to us then Allah is witness on what they do.
My
personal note:
The Aya
informs Muhammad (upon him be peace) that Allah may show him in his life some
of what was promised. However it also
informs Muhammad as well that when he dies Allah is still witnessing what they
do and will deal with it accordingly and that they still all come back to Allah
on the day of judgment. The message is
that What Allah promises will happen whether we live to see it or we die before
it.

according to the plane of thought of the sentence. One meaning could be death
since it is a meeting of dues, or just a taking of someone or something
depending on the situation, or other forms of meeting dues. NATAWAFFAYANNAKA is
an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of

alladhīna kadhabū biliqāi l-lahi wamā kānū muh`tadīna
The Aya
says:
And day
when He gathers them, as if they did not stay but an hour of the daytime. They recognize each other. Indeed, the ones who denied meeting Allah
have lost and they were not guided.
My
personal note:
The Aya
reminds us that there will be a day when we all meet Allah. If we deny that meeting then we are on the losing
end of things. We must always prepare
for that meeting. May Allah guide us to what
is best.
Translation
of the transliterated words:
wayawma:
and day when
Note: WA here for starting a new sentence that is
somewhat linked with the previous one.
YAWMA is derived from the root Y-W-M and it means day or a full time
cycle. YAWMA means a day or a time cycle when.
Yahshuruhum:
He gathers them/ He collects them
Note:
the root is Ha-SH-R and it means gathering. One concrete meaning of the word is
small creatures of the land as the insects. The relationship is the fact that
they gather in big numbers in one place as to eat and so forth. YAHSHURUHUM is
an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of
gathering the object (HUM= them) in one place is going to be made to happen by
the subject (third person singular).
ka-an: As if
lam
yalbathū: they
did not stay
Note:
the root is L-B-TH
and it means staying in the place or any form of staying. YALBATHOO is an
action that is derived from the root. IT means the action of staying is
happening or will be happened by the subject (third person plural). However, because it was preceded by the
negation (LAM). Then LAM Yalbathoo takes
the meaning of: they did not stay.
Illā: except/ if not
sāʿatan: an hour/ a portion of
Note: SaAAaTAN is derived from the root S-Ain-W or
S-Ain-Y and it means to hurry but not run nor wallk. For the abstract it means

an hour. . SaAATANa means an hour or a
portion of the time.
Mina: of/ from
l-nahāri: of the daytime
Note: ALNNAHARI is derived
from the root N-H-R and one of the concrete meanings of the word is running
water or river. It is then used to mean running or flowing in many other
meanings and contexts according to the sentence. ALNAHARI means the daytime and
it’s relationship to the flowing could be due to the fact that the day is the
time when our activities are “flowing” or because of the flow of the light in
it.
yataʿārafūna: they recognize each other
Note: Note: the root is Ain-R-F and it means the
elevated place that is easily recognized from a distance such as a landmark or
so. YATaAARAFOON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It
means: the action of recognition is happening or will be happening by the
subject (third person plural) in an interactive manner. This in turn takes the
meaning of recognizing each other.

by the subject (thid person plural). The
making of untruth can mean one of two things.
It means making a lie if followed by Ala and it means declaring
something a lie if followed by the Bi.
Biliqāi: in meeting
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. In here it serves to make an object
for a verb that generally has no object.
LIQAI is derived from the root L-Qaf-Y and it means
receiving as a concept which would be understood more specifically according to
the sentence. Concrete uses of the word are a female that gets pregnant easily,
therefore she received the sperm well. It is also used for the birds that hunt
because they receive the prey easily and so forth. LIQAI means meeting of or receiving or being
received by.

means: the action of being happened by the subject (third personal

and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. MUHTADEEN means guided.

My

The Aya
says:
And
amongst them those who observe you. Are
you going to guide the blind event though they do not see?!
My
personal note:
The
verse is pointing to those people who actually can see. However, they shut their insight and therefore
they are the only ones to open back up again.
In another verse of the Qur’an it
talks about the true blindness is the blindness of the hearts and minds and not
of the eyes.

The Aya
says:
And
some of them listen to you (singular). So will you make the deaf hear even
though they do not contemplate?!
My personal
note:
The
word SUMM is used to for deaf people or people with blockage so things do not
go to the destination. Literally the
deaf do not hear. However, the statement
here is throwing an example of people who close their minds or are dealing with
such strong denial that even though they hear the person things do not sink
in. The Aya also tells us that this is
their problem that they should open their minds and not keep them closed. So, Muslims then should be defined by open
mindedness and cannot be closed minded.
After all, the truth will never be threatened by open mindedness.
Translation
of the transliterated words:
wamin`hum:
and amongst them
man: who
yastamiʿūna: listen
Note:
the root is S-M-Ain and and it means hearing or hearing and understanding or

term is used often for deafness or further for blocking anything from reaching
their minds. ALSSUMMA means deaf or blocked in hearing.

lā yaʿqilūna: not processing/ not thinking/ not contemplating
Note: the root is
Ain-Qaf-L and it means tying the animal so that it does not go away. This is
the concrete word, but it is also used for any restraint or putting things
together as in tying the knot. The word is used for brain or thinking appropriately.
That could be because either that one who thinks appropriately is restraining
his thoughts from going astray, or that he is tying things together or both. YaAAQILOONA
is an action that is being completed or will be completed and that is derived
from the root. It means: the action of thinking/ contemplating appropriately or
with restraint, is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person
plural). Because the action was preceded
with the negation (LA) then it means not processing/ thinking/ contemplating.
