2:5

Good morning,

This is 2:5

2:5 اولئك علي هدي من ربهم واولئك هم المفلحون
2:5]
Ola-ika AAala hudan minrabbihim waola-ika humu almuflihoona

Ola-ika: Those are

AAala: On
Hudan: Gift of guidance see (2:2)

Minrabbihim: From their nurturer/sustainer/GOD
Note: This is another very interesting word. RABB in Arabic is used most often to mean GOD. However it can also mean Raiser (the one that helps us grow in any sense of the word). This meaning is very consistent with the concept of GOD in Islam. It is also consistent with the Hebrew meaning of Rabbi as teacher (He/she helps us grow). Therefore I used the word nurturer/sustainer. It is not exactly the same but it comes close.

waola-ika: And those

humu: They

almuflihoona: The ones that cause success/The ones that cause Tilling (with the understanding that they tilling reaps the better harvest)
Note:F-L-H means Till the earth as in preparing it for planting seeds. It is used in Arabic to mean success and that is because the ones that till the earth reap the better harvest. Other derivatives of the word are used to relate to agriculture FALLAH means Farmer.

My Note:
The meaning is “Those (the ones that Trust in GHAYB, keep upright the SALAT, distribute the good that GOD provided, believe in the messages of GOD and verify and approach certainty of the Later LIFE) have received the gift of guidance from their nurturer, for they are the ones that cause tilling and therefore will help reap a better harvest to themselves and to others.”

The personal note on (2:1-2:5):

The message of the Above AYAT are that the book (Qur’an) is a gift of guidance to those who guard (conscious of everything or try to be conscious of everything). The features of those people are:

1- The trust in the Not Apparent (GOD is the most important but other things that are not apparent, whether GOD tells us about them or not)
2- Upright the SALAT (connection To GOD through prayers but also through other good deeds)
3- The ones that Tunnel (channel under cover) the Good/useful that they receive from GOD to others that need it.
4- Trust/Feel safe/Attain safety/ believe in the message that arrived to the Prophet Muhammad and the messages that came before him.
5- Are verifying and approaching certainty about The LATER ( as in the later things that are to come, Day of judgment/ heaven/ hell all)

Those are the people that have received the gift of guidance from their nurturer and those are the tillers (who will receive the better harvest).

Salam and see you later
