Salaam all,

Qala almalao allatheena istakbaroo min qawmihi lanukhrijannaka ya shuAAaybu waallatheena amanoo maAAaka min qaryatina aw lataAAoodunna fee millatina qala awalaw kunna kariheena

The Aya says:
The elite who were disdainful amongst his people said: “We will indeed kick you out, O Shuaib and those who made themselves safe with you, from our town, or you shall return in our religion.” He responded: “Even if we were unwilling/ undesiring/ hating?!”

My personal note:

I translated the term ISTAKBAROO as being disdainful. This is is because the point of arrogance or seeing yourself big is in the essence by looking down at people and ideas as you reject them. I a hadeeth that is attributed to the prophet Muhammad upon him be peace, he defined Kibar= arrogance as rejection of a blessing or taking it for granted and looking down at people.

The Aya points out that religious belief cannot be forced on people.

And if there was a group of you made themselves safe in the matter that I was sent with and a group did not, then restrain yourselves until Allah judges between us and He is the best of judges.

My personal note:
This Aya brings about an important message to all of us then and now. That if we have religious differences then eventually, Allah will judge between us and so each group shares what they have and present what they have of evidence and then the rest is for Allah to judge between the two groups.

Waila madyana akhahum shuAAayban qala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu qad jaatkum bayyinatun min rabbikum faawfoo alkayla waalmeezana wala tabkhasoo alnnasa ashyaahum wala tufsidoo fee alardi baAAda islahiha thalikum khayrun lakum in kuntum mumineena

The Aya says:
And to Madian, their brother Shuaib. He said: “O my people worship Allah, you have no other entity worthy of worship but him. A clear proof came to you from your nurturing Lord. So, fulfil the measuring and/ including the balance and do not undercut the people’s things. And do not cause harm in the land after it had been mended. All this is better for you if you happened to be trusting/ safe (in Allah).

My personal note:

This passage starts the story of Madian which is located in Northern Saudi Arabia and their prophet Shuaib. The advice is first for monotheism and then for being just in the measuring and in keeping the balance with the understanding that one should not undercut the people what is theirs.

Perhaps the significance of the measuring and balance being together is so that it closes any loophole for someone who may claim that I measure correctly but he or she still gives people less than they really deserve of compensation. So, this closes that loophole. And Allah knows best.

Note: the root is J-R-M and in concrete it means: harvesting the dates from the tree or separating/severing the dates from the tree. Conceptually, this word then carries many other meaning including a transgression because the transgression/criminal act is a separation or severing of ties with what is appropriate. ALMUJRIMEEN are the ones who sever ties and those are the criminals and the guilty parties.

Faanjaynahu waahlahu illa imraatahu kanat mina alghabireena

The Aya says:
So We saved him and his family except for his wife. She was amongst the doomed.

My personal note:
The word GHABIREEN was translated as the doomed. The root is GHain-B-R and it means dust and arid land after the plants have died. It is also used for anything that stays behind as the remnant blood of menses and any remnant of anything. In a sense, dust is a remnant of earth and so on. In this context, it points to the point that remained behind in the land and were doomed for destruction whereas Lot and his daughters were not and they left for safety.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Faanjaynahu: So We saved him
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. ANJAYNAHU is derived from the root N-J-W and it means to come out of a tight situation or place or otherwise according to the situation. It is used to mean saving from a bad place but it can mean other things according to the context. One of the derivatives of the word is NAJWA which means the thing that people keep tightly held and that is their secret. ANJAYNAHU is completed. It means: the action of saving or rescuing or making the object (HU= him pointing to Noah) slip out of a tight situation happened by the subject (first person plural).
Waahlahu: and his family
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. AHLAHU is derived from the root Hamza-H-L and one concrete meaning of the word is the fat that surrounds the back of the animal. It is used conceptually to mean family or any of the people that are closely associated with the entity being discussed. This could be because they are like the fat as in they engulf and protect and so forth and gain protection at the same time. AHLA means people of or family of. HU means him and it points to Lot

Illa: except/ if not
Imraatahu: his wife/ his woman
Note: the root is M-R-Hamza and it means in one of the concrete meanings esophagus or the conduit of the food from the mouth to the stomach. This is then conceptually taken to cover anything that is easily swallowed or digested whether in concrete or other conceptual manners. Other understandings of this root is person imru’ for man and imra’a for woman. IMRAATA means woman of or wife of. HU means him and points to Lot

Kanat: happened to be
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KANAT is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (third personal singular feminine pointing to his wife). This in turn means: she was or she happened to be
Mina: of/ from
Alghabireena: The staying behind/ the remaining
Note: the root is GHain-B-R and it means dust or earth in one concrete form especially the earth that was hit with lack of rain. So, it remains behind after the plants have died off and makes dust come out. Conceptually, it is used for the last remaining bit of an entity. ALGHABIREEN means the remaining. In this context it means that she remained and stayed with her people or that she remained to suffer their ending.

Wama kana jawaba qawmihi illa an qaloo akhrijoohum min qaryatikum innahum onasun yatatahharoona


The Aya says:
And the response of his people was nothing other than saying: “Kick them out of your town. They are people who cleanse themselves”.


My personal note:
In this passage it becomes clear that the people of Lot had no defense of what they did and a certain acknowledgement that it was wrong. Their only response was to try to kick him and his family out.

In some way this points to them acknowledging that their actions were wrong but that they insisted on continuing them.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wama: and not
Kana: was/ happened to be
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KANA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (third personal singular or plural). This in turn means: He/ they was or He/ they happened to be

QAWMI means people of/ HI means him and points to Noah.
Illa: except/ if not

Akhrijoohum: Kick them out
Note: AKHRIJOO is derived from the root KH-R-J and it means coming out or exiting. That is the conceptual meaning and it assumes it’s more specific meaning or meanings according to the plane of thought of the sentence. AKHRIJOO is an order or a request addressed to a plural. It means: make the object (HUM= them) go out or simply kick them out.

Min: of/ from
Qaryatikum: your town/ city/village
Note: the root is Qaf-R-Y and it means the piece of land that is undivided or the body of water which collects water from the valleys and where people congregate to drink and water their animals. This is the concrete and it can be conceptually extended to mean town or village since the town or village is located where the water is located and it is a collection of people in it. QARYATI means: village of or town of. KUM means plural you.

Innahum: they indeed
Onasun: people/ humans
Note: the root is Hamza-N-S and it means socializing. ONAS means people or humans.

Innakum latatoona alrrijala shahwatan min dooni alnnisai bal antum qawmun musrifoona

The Aya says:
You indeed come on to the men in lust short of the women. But instead, you are wasteful people.

My personal note:
The term “come on to the men in lust short of the women” suggests that the Aya is addressing the men in town or at least the vast majority of them. It also suggests that this vast majority decided to use the men for penetration, basically acting as active partners not passive partners. This understanding is agreed upon by the books of tafsir (exegesis). The other thing that the passage suggests is that they were planning to do whatever they wanted to do to the receiving men despite their assumed non consent. This is also agreed upon by the books of tafsir.

So, then the question becomes: If all the men of town or the vast majority of them are taking the active role in this, then who are the men that played the passive role:

1- In Tafsir Razi, he brings the opinion that the act was performed exclusively on outside men who crossed through that territory. This understanding is supported by other passges of the qur’an and also by what they planned to do to the angels who visited Lot

2- Another understanding suggests that although they did it to outsiders, they may have done it to locals as well. However, in this understanding is that the receiving men where a small minority that would then be subjected to penetration by the vast majority. A picture that would happen through coercion, prostitution, or taking advantage of the very few who truly wanted to play that role.

The term Musrifoon is used in the Qur'an often for any group that puts it's effort in sinful endeavors because that is an effort that is not going to bring benefit and is going to bring harm.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Innakum: you (plural)/ you indeed
Latatoona: you come/ you approach
Note: LA is for emphasis of the coming action. TATOONA is derived from the root Hamza-T-Y and it means in concrete the water that comes from the rain of another land. In concrete it means the coming of something or someone with many of it’s implications. TATOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of coming is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person plural) with emphasis to the object (ALRRIJAL= the men).

alrrijala: the men/ people
Note: the root is R-J-L and it means legs. The word also means men depending on the situation. One possible link could be because when men and women are in the caravan and the ability to ride is limited, then the men will be on their legs, while the women will be riding the camels or so forth. ALRRIJALA means the men.
Shahwatan: bodily desire/ lusting
Note: the root is SH-H-W and it means what the body desires. It is also used in concrete for the great tasting food and so, where the concept is something desired by our bodies. Often times, it is used to point to sexual desire according to the context. SHAHWATAN in this context points to bodily desire or lust.
min dooni: short of/ instead of
alnnisai: the women
Note: the word means the women. It has two potential roots that may be related to it. The first N-S-Y and it is the one used for women. This same root is used for the sciatic nerve as a concrete word and for forgetting. The relation between the different meanings is only in an indirect manner. Another root is N-S-Hamza and it means putting things behind in time or space of delaying things. Concrete words are the women that have a delay in the menses because of possibility of pregnancy. ALNNISAI are the women.

Bal: but instead
Antum: you (plural)
qawmun: people/ group
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 based on location rather than ideologiy or ideas. UN means people or group
Musrifoona: wasteful / frivolous/ spendors for no benefit
Note: the root is S-R-F and it means in concrete the throwing of the water without watering a tree or watering an animal. Conceptually, it is used for inappropriate expenditure or too much expenditure, since that is inappropriate. Basically it carries the concept of wasteful spending of resources and energy for the wrong cause and so on. MUSRIFOONA are the inappropriately wasteful or spending for no benefit or frivolous spenders.

Walootan ith qala liqawmihi atatoona alfahishata ma sabaqakum biha min ahadin mina alAAalameena

The Aya says:
And Lot as he said to his people: “Do you committ the indecency. No one of the peoples preceded you with it.”

My personal note:
ALFAHISHA is any act that is considered to be ugly or inappropriate whether in words or deeds and so on. The Qur’an uses the term mostly in sexual misconduct or indecent exposure and so on. The use of the AL at the beginning of the word suggests that the people he is talking to know what he is talking about.

The Aya suggests that this indecent act that they committed is something that has no precedent in previous societies. This can be understood in one of several ways including:
1- No single person ever committed this act
2- No single society committed or sanctioned such an act.
3- Of course the first option encompasses the second but the second options allows that individuals may have done something like this but it never became widespread or sanctioned within the society of that time.

What is the act? The coming Ayat will give us some glimpse but to get the complete picture one has to read all the related passages of the Qur’an to arrive at a more cohesive and complete picture.

Translation of the transliterated words:

The use of AL at the beginning suggests that they know what he is pointing to.

It means the action of preceding the object (KUM=plural you) happened by the subject (third person singular or plural)

If bi serves as an object of the action that it serves as an emphasis of the action. It can also add an object to the action of make what comes after the bi be present in close association with the subject. HA means her and it points to the FAHISHA.

Min: of/ from

The Aya says:
So he moved away from them and said: “O my people I have indeed delivered and explained the message of my Nurturing Lord and I sincerely advised you, but instead you do not like the sincere advisors.”

My personal note:

In this Aya it brings that Saleh upon him be peace had effectively delivered the message in a clear way that made it understood by his people and that his advice to them was sincere without any ulterior motive. He continues that they did not like people who sincerely advise.

This is something that has a message to all of us as human beings and that our pride and egos can stand in our way of receiving good and pure and sincere advice. May Allah protect us from our egos and misguided pride and bias and open our hearts to his advice to us.

Faakhathathumu alrrajfatu faasbahoo fee darihim jathimeena

The Aya says:
So, the shaking took them, so they became fallen still in their home.

My personal statement:
The short sentence carried with it the depth of meaning and imaging. The word RAJFAT means shaking which can be because of a tremor, fear or a sound of some sort. In other parts of the Qur’an it mentions a SAYHA= a shout/ a cry which makes the shaking because of some kind of sound more likely than a tremor of the earth and so on.

The ter JATHIM is when the entity falls and stick still to the ground with no movement. So, the imaging is that something caused a shaking and they fell still right then. May Allah protect us from suffering such suffering and help us accept His wisdom lovingly always.

The elite and the arrogant wanted to challenge the weak who are faithful asking them if they know by facts or observation or whatever. The response was much more powerful and that they have something stronger and that is faith and safety and trust in what he came with.

In this is something important and that is if you have enough evidence to have trust and safety and so on, then you do not necessarily need other methods of verification as in observation and so on. This is as long as your method of attaning safety and faith is clean and unadulterated by wrong bias and desire and so on. This takes lots of effort of cleansing and deep honest understanding of oneself.

Salaam all,

Waila thamooda akhahum salihan qala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu qad jaatkum bayyinatun min rabbikum hathihi naqatu Allahi lakum ayatan fatharooha takul fee ardi Allahi wala tamassooha bisooin fayakhuthakum AAathabun aleemun

The Aya says:
And to Thamood their brother Saleh. He said:” O my people worship Allah. You have no other entity worthy of worship but Him. Indeed came to you a proof from your Nurturing Lord. This is Allah’s female camel a sign for you, therefore leave her eat in Allah’s land and do not touch her with harm then will take you painful suffering”.

My personal note:
The people of Aad and Thamood are people who lived in the peninsula of Arabia and are mentioned in the Qur’an but not in the bible. One thing that is interesting is that the statement was “If you touch her with harm then you will be taken with painful suffering/ punishment”. In a sense , it tells them that the punishment will be big. This is mainly because of them hurting the camel is a challenge to Allah Himself.

The use of the term Allah’s female camel and Allah’s land are interesting. Everything belongs to Allah. However, when it says Allah’s female camel it brings something particular for the camel and as for the land, it brings to them that it is Allah’s land and not yours and therefore it is for Allah to decide how the land is used not you. This is also true for anything that belongs to us. They do belong to Allah first and therefore the right of Allah in that money and other belongings take precedence over our right to that money. Example mainly is the obligatory charity that has to be given and that we have, as muslims, no right to withold.
