7:44

Salaam all,


Wanada ashabu aljannati ashaba alnnari an qad wajadna ma waAAadana rabbuna haqqan fahal wajadtum ma waAAada rabbukum haqqan qaloo naAAam faaththana muaththinun baynahum an laAAnatu Allahi AAala alththalimeena


The Aya says:
And the people of Paradise called the people of Hell that we have found what our nurturing Lord promised us to be true, so did you find what your nuturing Lord promised to be true? They answered yes, then an announcer announced between them that the expelling from Allah’s mercy is upon the unjust.

My personal note:
The Aya mentions a dialogue between the people of Hell and the people of Paradise on the day of judgment and that they both affirm that they saw the truth of what was promised. There is a subtle difference that is very siginificant. The people of Heaven said “What our Lord promised us) while when addressing the people of Hell, it mentioned “Did you find what your lord promised” and it excluded the “you”.

As if there is a personal relationship that is established between the people of Heaven and God while the others lacked a personal relationship and so it was only promise but not to them, but to anyone that falls within their characteristics.

I translated the term LAAaNAT as expelling from mercy and it can be translated as curse, but it is a curse in the form of expelling from Allah’s mercy. This also means that the default for humans is to be within Allah’s mercy but we kick ourselves from it by our injustice. In this context the injustice is in the form of rejecting arrogantly Allah’s message.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wanada: and called
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. NADA is derived from the root iN-D-Y and it means in concrete dew or water touching a surface. It is also used for voice reaching an entity. In both, the shared meaning is something touching or arriving at another entity. In this instance, it is the calling. NADA is an action that is completed. It means the action of calling happened by the subject (third person singular or plural).

aljannati: the garden/ Paradise

In this context it is pointing to paradise.

ALTHTHALIMEEN are the unjust or the one who misplaces right from wrong intentionally and that is the one who decides and acts in darkness.
