2:15

Salam all,

This is 2:15الله يستهزي بهم ويمدهم في طغيانهم يعمهون

[2:15]
Allahu yastahzi-o bihim wayamudduhumfee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona

Allahu: The GOD
yastahzi-o bihim: Mocks them
Note: the root isH-Z-A and it means to mock someone or something. ISTAHZA means tried to mock someone and succeeded. YASTAHZI is the third person singular present tense of the verb and is a person that is trying to Mock someone else/working on mocking with someone /seeking to mock someone or something.
wayamudduhum: and increases/extends them
Note: MADD in it’s concrete form means High water (To good effect) as in the High tide or otherwise. The abstract form of the word will mean expand/increase/stretch/provide aid/extend since the high water in Arabia did some of the above. YAMUDD is the present tense of the verb third person singular
Fee: In
Tughyanihim: Their overpowering exceeding of limits to bad effects/transgression
This means: “GOD seeks/works on mocking with them rather than them mocking
Note: TAGHA means he/she/it/ has exceeded the limit in an overpowering way and to bad effect or with a bad intention. Here it points to the lack of belief/trust/feeling safe/attaining safety in GOD and the doing of FASAD (2:11) in the land (make the land not suitable for living)
yaAAmahoona: confused in their lack of guidance.
Note: the root is AAa-M-H and it means a state of confusion or lack of clear vision.
My note: in the people of GOD (2:14). That GOD will aid them in their overstepping GOD’s boundaries to bad consequences as they do it without guidance and in a state of confusion.”


My personal note:

Here again the emphasis is that GOD aids all people in the direction that they want to take. If we want guidance, he will aid us. If we want to overstep his limits he will aid us. If we want to bury our faces in our prejudices in order to refuse the belief in GOD, then he will aid us as well. We have to always open our senses to GOD and his signs and We always have to ask for HUDA (Gift of guidance)

Salam all and I will see you tomorrow

Hussein
