Salaam all,


Wahajjahu qawmuhu qala atuhajjoonnee fee Allahi waqad hadani wala akhafu ma tushrikoona bihi illa an yashaa rabbee shayan wasiAAa rabbee kulla shayin AAilman afala tatathakkaroona

The Aya says:
And his people debated him. He (Abraham) said: do you debate me in Allah?! and He guided me. And I do not fear what you are partnering with Him unless if Allah wills something. My nurturing Lord encompassed every thing in knowledge. Why don’t you remind yourselves?!

My personal note:
The statemement “And I do not fear what you are partnering with Him unless Allah wills something”. He basically is saying that I do not fear those entities that you are taking as Gods, but if something happens to me, then it is by Allah’s will and not by the powers of those entities nor by your powers.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wahajjahu: and debated him
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 is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. HAJJAHU is derived from the root Ha-J-J and it means pursual as in pursuing something. This is also used to mean pursuing knowledge or a place or pursuing a certain proof. Therefore the root can mean a pilgrimage, where one pursues a goal or a meeting with others in order to pursue certain proofs. It also can be used to mean times or things that happen once a year because the pilgrimage or the pursual of certain things or places occur about once a year. In this context, it is pointing to proofs or arguiing about proofs. HAJJAHU is an action that is completed. It means: the action of debating or arguiing proofs happened in an interactive manner by the subject (QAWMUHU= his people) to the object (HU= Him and pointing to Abraham).

Qawmuhu: his people
Note: the root is Qaf-Y-M and it means standing or standing upright. ALQAWM are the people that stand together and that makes the group or people or nation, basically, any group of people that stand together. Here. It points to the particular group that wants to get away from their obligation to fight. QAWMU means people of. HU means him and points to Abraham.

Qala: He said/ communicated
Note: QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person singular). This, in turn means: He said or responded or communicated.
Atuhajjoonnee: Do you (plural) debate me?!
Note: ATUHAJJAHUNNEE is derived from the root Ha-J-J and it means pursual as in pursuing something. This is also used to mean pursuing knowledge or a place or pursuing a certain proof.

Illa: except/ if not/ unless

The relationship between the two is not very clear and they can be different words that share the sound but have different root. It could be that the male is considered the active organ and that memory is an active process, but that is only a theory. TATATHAKKAROON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of reminding and mentioning to oneself is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person plural).
