Salaam all,
This is 5:14
وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالُواْ إِنَّا نَصَارَى أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَهُمْ فَنَسُواْ حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِ فَأَغْرَيْنَا بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاء إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَسَوْفَ يُنَبِّئُهُمُ اللّهُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْنَعُونَ
Wamina allatheena qaloo inna nasara akhathna meethaqahum fanasoo haththan mimma thukkiroo bihi faaghrayna baynahumu alAAadawata waalbaghdaa ila yawmi alqiyamati wasawfa yunabbiohumu Allahu bima kanoo yasnaAAoona
The Aya says:
And amongst those who said: “We are Christians”. We took their oath, then they forgot/abandoned a portion of what they were reminded in, so We glued between them the animosity and hatred till the day of Judgment. And Allah shall inform them of what they happened to be producing.
My personal note:
This aya and the previous aya seem to be point to the consequences of leaving intentionally or unintentionally part of the message from God. In the previous Aya the consequence is trickery and may be hardness in the hearts, while here it is that the people who follow the message may end up hating each other and becoming enemies against each other.
The message here is for those who follow the Qur’an. It reminds us that if we forget or abandon part of the message then we may fall into one of the two consequences that were mentioned. One strong clue then is that when a group of Muslims starts hate the rest of the Muslims and attack them, then this group had forgotten or had abandoned some of the message. Same thing for the group that seems to want to play trickery either to the text or to the rest of the Muslims, they have forgotten or abandoned part of the message.
In this is the issue that a message will always need to be taken as a whole for the optimal results. Emphasizing part on the expense of another will make the message unbalanced and lead to the above. So, one will have to be careful when they want to extract a message from one passage or two without paying attention to the modifying effect of the rest of the Qur’an.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Wamina: and from/ amongst
Allatheena: those who
Qaloo: said/ communicated
Note: QALOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root.

Inna: We indeed/ we
Nasara: Christians
Note: the root N-Sad-R and it means aid or help at a time of need. NASARA means: supporters or helpers at the time of need. It is a term that is used for Christians in the Qur’an because they were the ones who supported and aided Jesus (pbuh)
Akhathna: We took

Meethaqahum: their oath/ assurance/covenant

So, the other meanings of the term are assurance and security. MEETHAQA is assurance of or trust and security of. HUM means them.
Fanasoo: then they abandoned/ forgot/ then immediately forgot or abandoned.
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. If used as a sequence then it carries the meaning of immediately following. This can apply here.

The relation between the different meanings is only in an indirect manner. The use here is for abandoning or forgetting. NASOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of forgetting or abandoning the object (Haththan= part) happened by the subject (third person plural).

It means: the action of reminding and mentioning to the object (third person plural) of another object (BIHI= in him pointing to the book) happened by the subject (undeclared).

Salaam all,
This is 5:13
فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِم مِّيثَاقَهُمْ لَعنَّاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوبَهُمْ قَاسِيَةً يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِ وَنَسُواْ حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِ وَلاَ تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَىَ خَآئِنَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً مِّنْهُمُ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ إِنَّ اللّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Fabima naqdihim meethaqahum laAAannahum wajaAAalna quloobahum qasiyatan yuharrifoona alkalima AAan mawadiAAihi wanasoo haththan mimma thukkiroo bihi wala tazalu tattaliAAu AAala khainatin minhum illa qaleelan minhum faoAAfu AAanhum waisfah inna Allaha yuhibbu almuhsineena
The aya says:
So by their breaking their covenant WE expelled them (from our mercy) including transformed their hearts hard. They edge the statements away from their placements and they abandoned a portion of what they were reminded by. And you (singular) will not cease to perceive upon trickery from them except a few amongst them. Then forgive them and move on. Indeed Allah loves the ones who do goodness.
My personal note:
The Aya continues the issues of the covenant between God and the Israelites. It talks about breaking that covenant and the consequences thereof. Although the Aya talks about the Israelites, it is a message to anyone who breaks his or her oath with Allah. The message is that breaking this oath will make the person’s mind and heart hard unable to perceive and receive the truth. It will also make this person distanced or expelled from God’s mercy and that is the worst thing to happen for us humans. So, the message is that we need to keep the covenant going and the obligation that Allah asked of us in the previous Aya.
The other part of the aya talks about the trickery of people and their playing with God’s statements to make them meet their biases and desires. It advises the prophet (pbuh) to be more forgiving and move on from hostile confrontation as a general rule (which may accept some exceptions at times). This is then considered an act of goodness and Allah loves the people who do those acts.
Translation of the transliterated words:

Note: the root is N-Qaf-Dhad and it means in concrete the remains of a building after it’s destruction or becoming uninhabited.

Meethaqahum: their oath/ assurance
Note: the root is W-TH-Qaf and it means in concrete terms, the secure tying of a knot or the pasture that has lots of grass and therefore is assured of providing enough nutrition.

alkalima: the statements/ the words

This is the concrete and in abstract it means erasing a fault from the record as in forgiving it or erasing something from one’s ownership as in giving it up to someone else.

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. ISFAH is derived from the root Sad-F-Ha and it means in concrete the wide side of an entity. It is used for the wide part of the face as well as the page of a book and the blunt edge of the sword. Conceptually, it can be used in many ways as in shaking the hands because the two wide sides of the hands are meeting. It can also be used to mean non aggression since the blunt side of the sword does not injure. And it can means move on, since the movement of the wide part of the face means that you are planning not to aggressively confront. ISFAH is an order addressed to the prophet. It means: move on, do not harm or aggressively confront.

Salaam all,
This is 5:12
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذَ اللّهُ مِيثَاقَ بَنِي إِسْرَآئِيلَ وَبَعَثْنَا مِنهُمُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَقِيبًا وَقَالَ اللّهُ إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ لَئِنْ أَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَيْتُمُ الزَّكَاةَ وَآمَنتُم بِرُسُلِي وَعَزَّرْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَقْرَضْتُمُ اللّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَّأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَلأُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ فَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاء السَّبِيلِ
Walaqad akhatha Allahu meethaqa banee israeela wabaAAathna minhumu ithnay AAashara naqeeban waqala Allahu innee maAAakum lain aqamtumu alssalata waataytumu alzzakata waamantum birusulee waAAazzartumoohum waaqradtumu Allaha qardan hasanan laokaffiranna AAankum sayyiatikum walaodkhilannakum jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu faman kafara baAAda thalika minkum faqad dalla sawaa alssabeeli
The Aya says:
And Allah took the children of Israel’s covenant and We sent amongst them twelve representatives and Allah communicated: “I am with you (plural). Indeed if you make the Salat upright and provided the obligatory charity and made your selves safe in my envoys/messengers and supported them including loaned Allah a beautiful loan, then indeed, I will make your ugly deeds atoned and I will indeed make you enter gardens, rivers running underneath them. So, whoever rejects after that amongst you then he indeed lost balance of the path.”
My personal note:
This aya brings an important point and that is the atonement of the sins comes from the good deeds of people and that is including establishing and maintaining and keeping the prayer upright. The other issue is the obligatory charity which includes sharing of wealth in material items as well as knowledge or spiritual items.
The Aya uses the term AQRADTUM which I translated as loaned. The term is more like to give something with an expectation of something in return. The Aya tells us that whatever we do purely and sincerely for the sake of Allah, then Allah will give us something in return. There is nothing better to get in return than His love and support and being close to Him.

Salaam all,
This is 5:11
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَتَ اللّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ أَن يَبْسُطُواْ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنكُمْ وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَعَلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo othkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum ith hamma qawmun an yabsutoo ilaykum aydiyahum fakaffa aydiyahum AAankum waittaqoo Allaha waAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almuminoona
The aya says:
O you (plural) who made themselves safe, mention and remember Allah’s favor upon you as/when a group of people contemplated to attack you so Allah stopped their hands away from you. And act consciously of Allah. And let the ones who make themselves safe (in Allah) entrust their guarantee upon Allah.
My personal note:
This Aya has the interesting phrase hamma Qawmun an Yabsutoo aydiyahum ilaykum. This phrase means literally: A group of people contemplated opening their palms towards you (plural). This context of the sentences determined that the opened palms is actually a sign of attack rather than something else. The reason is that the aya continues that Allah held back their hands. So, Allah holds back an attack or harm rather than otherwise.
In other contexts in the Qur’an, the “opening of the hands” can be a sign of giving and providing, but this is not the case here.
The Aya ends with asking the believers to trust that Allah Guarantees that the works will never go for nothing or be lost. We are asked to trust this guarantee and we thank God for it.
Translation of the transliterated words:

Salaam all,

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا أُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ
Waallatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina olaika ashabu aljaheemi
The aya says:
And those who rejected including declared our signs untrue those are companions of the intense fire.
My personal note:
This Aya contrasts with the previous one. It contrasts safety in the previous one with rejection of discarding the truth in here. It also contrasts safety in Allah and acting with good deeds with declaring God’s signs untrue.
May Allah increase us in safety and trust in Him so that we pass through this life in harmony with His signs and words.

In this context, “making the sign untrue” means actually declaring it untrue or denying truthfulness .

Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. AYAT is derived from the root Hamza-Y-H and it means sign. AYATI means signs of. NA means us.
