Qul falillahi alhujjatu albalighatu falaw shaa lahadakum ajmaAAeena

The Aya says: Say (O Muhammad): then to Allah belongs the deep reaching proof. So, if He willed, He would have guided you all.

My personal note: This Aya continues the argument that started in the previous Aya and whereas the Aya 148 points to the fact that Allah did not compel anyone to become a Mushrik/ polytheist. Aya 149 completes the picture that Allah also did not will that everyone should be compelled to guidance. Therefore the conclusion would be that guidance or lack of guidance becomes a matter of free will dependant on some action or inaction on the part of the person.

One may run into statements of the Qur’an where Allah guides this particular group or that Allah misguides another particular group. Those Aya are understood in the context that the ones that Allah guides had done something that makes them deserving of Allah’s mercy and that includes guidance. Whereas the group that gets misguided is the group that is punished by misguides for that they decided to ignore such as the remembering Allah or the thanking of Allah and so on.

Translation of the transliterated words: Qul: Say/ communicate/respond Note: the root is Qaf-W-L and it means saying or communicating. QUL is an order or a request addressed to a singular. It means: say or communicate. Falillahi: then to Allah belongs Alhujjatu: the proof/ the convincing argument/ convincing point Note: . ALHUJJATU 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. ALHUJJATU means the proof or our convincing argument.

Albalighatu: the effective far reaching/ deep reaching Note: the root is B-L-GHain and it means in concrete a child that became adult and therefore reached maturity. conceptually, it is used for language that is mature and clear as well as for anything that reached it’s intended design. ALBALIGHATU means the one that reaches it’s target and being effective Falaw: so if Shaa: He willed/ He entitied Note: the root is Sh-Y-Hamza and it means entity. SHAA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means that the action of entitying happened by the subject (third person singular). Therefore it means: He entitied and in this context, it takes the meaning He willed. Lahadakum: then He would have guided you (plural) Note: the root is root H-D-Y and it means gift in all it’s forms and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. LAHADAKUM is a response to the conditional that was mentioned earlier. ajmaAAeena: all/ altogether Note: the root is J-M-Ain and it means gather the different parts together or putting things together.

The Aya says: Those who are polytheists will say if Allah willed we would not have become polytheists nor our ancestors, and We would not have declared a thing prohibited. As such, the ones before them rejected until they tasted our hard hitting. Say (O Muhammad): Do you (plural) have evidence that you can bring out to us?! You follow nothing but unverified thoughts and you are just speculating.

My personal note: The Aya carries a very important message. It carries with it the message that Allah does not compel anyone to be disbeliever or polytheists and that they do it on their own. Another message is the fact that Allah does not put barriers infront of them to stop them from disbelieveing, but they should never understand this as meaning that Allah accepts their wrong actions.

Translation of the transliterated words: Sayaqoolu: they will say/ communicate Note: SAYAQOOLU is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible.

Allahu: Allah/God Note: Allah is the subject of the action that was mentioned earlier SHAA. ma ashrakna: We would not have become polytheists Note: MA is an answer to the conditional that was mentioned earlier by negation. ASHRQKNA is derived from the root SH-R-K and it means partner or partnership and with this partnership is a measure of equality or being on par. ASHRAKNA is an action that is completed. MA ASHRAKNA as a response to the conditional would then mean: We would not have become polytheists. Wala: and not/ nor Abaona: our ancestors Note: the root is Hamza-B and it means father or parent. ABAO means parents or fathers (inclusive of males and females) or ancestors of. NA means us.

Wala harramna: nore would have have prohibited/ declared prohibited Note: WALA is another response to the conditional point with negation.

wain antum illa: and you (plural) nothing but takhrusoona: speculate Note: the root is KH-R- Sad and it means in one concrete usage speculation of the date harvest or grape harvest of a particular area. The person who does that looks at particular features and then makes his or her estimation. Conceptually, it is used for any estimation that is not expected to be completely accurate. With that it is sometimes accepted as the next best thing when one cannot be accurate as in the estimation of the produce of the land. However, when better measures are available then resorting to speculation should be left. TAKHRUSOON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of speculation is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person plural). In this they are blameworthy because they left the more certain to the less certain.

The Aya says: So, if they declared you (singular) untrue then say: Your nurturing Lord is one of wide encompassing mercy while his hard hitting will not be turned away from the criminal people”.

My personal note: This Aya is very interesting and deep. It reminds people that Allah is has great mercy that can encompass anything. The Aya also reminds us that His hits are hard hitting against the criminals. Those criminals can get out of that situation by asking for repentance and forgiveness when it is not too late and it will be granted. In a sense it reminds us to return to Him in order to enter his wide open mercy and there is no point and no winning in making animosity with God. May He accept us as we come to him for repentance and for inclusion in His mercy.

The Aya says: And upon those who were Jewish We prohibited every one with nails and of the cows and sheep We prohibited upon them their fat except what their backs carried or the intestines or what mixed with bone. That, We paid back by their transgression and We are indeed truthful.

My personal note: This Aya contrasts the prohibitions that were declared prohibited because of designating them as either unclean or out of God’s path with a new set of prohibitions for things that were not declared unclean nor out of Allah’s path.

This other set of prohibitions is declared so as a form of punishment for sins. Some Muslim scholars indicate that one sin that can lead a Muslim to something parallel to this punishment is when one tries to hard to make the religion and it’s application too restrictive and therefore may end up prohibiting things that are perfectly acceptable and then have to live life with the limitations that that prohibition imposes on him or her.

The Aya says: Say (O Muhammad): I do not find in what was inspired to me food forbidden for an eating person except if it happens to be already dead, or spilled/ flowing blood or pigs’ meat for that is unclean. Or (meat) out of Allah’s path, was announced to other than Allah by it. Then whoever was forced by harm, with other than desire nor outsepping boundaries, then your nurturing Lord is forgiving, merciful.

My personal note: This Aya gives more explanation on the main categories that are prohibited to eat. It divides them into either the label of RIJS which means the food itself is unclean physically or ritually or otherwise and that is the reason for not eating it all the time and it cannot become allowed. Those are the flowing blood, the already dead animal and the pork. It is important that the blood within the meat is not forbidden itself and that there is no reason to be obsessive compulsive about removing blood.

The other category of forbidding the food is FISQ and here the food itself is not necessarily unclean but the method of it’s slaughter is out of Allah’s path and that is one the name of other than Allah is invoked at the time of slaughter or things that may make the meat dedicated for other than Allah. In this case, the prohibition is related to the method and not the actual meat or animal and so on.

The Aya says: And of the camels two and of the cows two. Say (O Muhammad): is it the two males that He prohibited or the two females or what the wombs of the two females encompassed? Or were you (plural) witnesses when Allah entrusted you with that? So, who is more unjust than one who concocts upon Allah untruth in order to misguide the people with other than knowledge? Indeed Allah does not guide the unjust people.

My personal note: The Aya declares it a grave injustice to claim that Allah said so and so or ordered so and so when He did not. Then Allah declares that He does not guide the unjust.

This is so important for us to learn and contemplate because we are all in great need to Allah’s guidance and that is why we ask for it in every prayer several times as we recite the verse “Guide us to the straight path”.
