7:28

Salaam all,


Waitha faAAaloo fahishatan qaloo wajadna AAalayha abaana waAllahu amarana biha qul inna Allaha la yamuru bialfahshai ataqooloona AAala Allahi ma la taAAlamoona


The Aya says:

And when they did an abomination they said: “This is what we found our acestors upon and Allah ordered us by it.” Respond (O Muhammad): Indeed Allah does not order by the abomination. Do you say upon Allah what you have no knowledge of?!

My personal note:
The abomination that is mentioned here is related to the subject of clothing that covers our private areas and that was mentioned in the immediately preceding Ayat.

According to the books of Tafsir/ exegesis, the people of Arabia used to circumbulate around the Kaaba naked unless they were of the tribe of Qureish. The Aya basically says that practice has no place and no justification for Allah does not order an abomination.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Fahishatan: an abomination/ an ugly word or deed
Note: the root is F-Ha-SH and it means: the ugly word or deed or any word or deed that has exceeded the border of decency and appropriateness. The term is often used related to sexual acts, but it is not limited to it. FAHISHA is the ugly word or deeds including sexually or nudity/indecent exposure.

Qaloo: they said/ they 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. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person plural). This, in turn means: They said/ communicated.
Wajadna: we found

Biha: by her (the abominable action).
Note: Bi suggests that what comes after it is either a tool of the action or an object of the action or any combination. If bi serves as an object of the action that it serves as an emphasis of the action. HA means herand it points to the abominable action.
