5:9

Salaam all,

This is 5:9
وَعَدَ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ
WaAAada Allahu allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum maghfiratun waajrun AAatheemun

The Aya says:
Allah promised those who made themselves safe including performed good deeds. To them belongs protective cover and great reward.

My personal note:
Here I translated Amanoo wa Aaamiloo salihat as made themselves safe including doing good deeds. This is because the doing of good deeds is part of the Iman=safety in Allah.

This is because Iman=safety and trust in God is something in the heart that pushes us to action accordingly and therefore action is a manifestation or an inseparable component of the Iman itself.

So a person cannot claim that I have Iman but I do not want to act. The person with true Iman will act, unless there was strong barrier in the way, as inability or weakness and so on.

Translation of the transliterated words:
WaAAada: He promised
Note: the root is W-Ain-D and it means promise. WaAAaDA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of promising happened by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah) to the object (Allatheena Amanoo= those who made themselves safe ).
Allahu: Allah
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.

waAAamiloo: and did/ including did
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. AAaMILOO is derived from the root Ain-M-L and it means doing or work. AAaMILOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of doing or making happened by the subject (third person plural).

Alssalihati: the righteous deeds/ good deeds/ deeds of benefit
Note: ALSSALIHATI is derived from the root Sad-L-Ha and it means becoming helpful or useful in a good direction. This means mainly: becoming one of benefit as in benefiting oneself and others. Included in this meaning is becoming fixed after having been broken. ALSSALIHATI then here are the deeds of goodness/ benefit and that would be the definition of the righteous.
Lahum: to them belongs
Maghfiratun: protective cover/ forgiveness
Note: MAGHFIRATUN 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. MAGHFIRATUN is a protective cover or forgiveness
Waajrun: and compensation/reward
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. AJRUN is derived from the root Hamza-J-R and it means compensation for work done. AJRUN means compensation of work or just compensation or reward.
AAatheemun: great
Note: the root is Ain-TH-M and it means great/hard/strong. The concrete word is AAaTHM and that is the bones or the hard/strong/firm core of things. AAaTHEEM means great.

Salaam all and have a great day.

Hussein
