Salaam all,
Laqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi faqala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu innee akhafu AAalaykum AAathaba yawmin Aaatheemin
The Aya says:
We envoyed Noah to his people so he said: “O my people worship Allah, you have no other entity worthy of worship other than Him. I indeed fear for you suffering of a great day.”
My personal note:
The statement “I fear for you suffering of a great day” includes in it what Noah did not say in this passage and that his fear and worry are based on the fact that they actually worshipped other than Allah.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Laqad: beginning of a sentence/ indeed
Arsalna: We sent/ We envoyed
Note: ARSALNA is derived from the root R-S-L and it means to envoy someone or a group of people or animals. The concrete word is RASL and it means a group of people or animals that were sent by their owners or senders. ARSALNA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of sending or envoying the object (NOOHAN= Noah) happened by the subject (first person plural).
Noohan: Noah
Ila: to/ towards
Qawmihi: his 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. QAWMI means people of/ HI means him and points to Noah.
Faqala: so he said
Note: FA means so or therefore or then. 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.
Ya: O (it is a calling)
Qawmi: my 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 based on location rather than ideologiy or ideas. QAWMI means people of mine/ my people.
oAAbudoo: Worship
Note: oAABUDOOis derived from the root Ain-B-D and it means slave or servant. One concrete use of the term is the word Road that is MUAAaBBAD and is used for the road that had been made easy to use and smooth for the people to walk on without hindrance. Conceptually, the term is then used for humbleness and submission. It is used for slave and servant because of their humbleness and submission in relation to the master and that is the essence of worship with the understanding that one humbles himself and submits when in awe of the greatness of the entity and when in love with the entity and Allah is deserving of both. oAABUDOO is an order addressing a plural. It means worship or submit and humble yourselves to.
Allaha: Allah
Ma: not
Lakum: to you (plural)
Note: MA LAKUM together means: you (plural) do not have.
Min: of/ from
Ilahin: a God/ an entity worthy of worship
Note: the root is Hamza-L-H and it means worthy of worship. ALLAH is the entity worthy of Worship and that is one of the names of God in Arabic and the most commonly used in Arabic by Muslim Arabs and non Muslim Arabs. ILAH means entity worthy of worship.
Ghayruhu: other than Him
Note: GHAYR is derived from the root GH-Y-R and it means different or other. GHAYR means other than. HU means HIM and it points to Allah
Innee: I indeed
Akhafu: fear/ worry
Note: the root is KH-W-F and it means fear or worry. AKHAFU is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of fearing the object (AAaTHABA= suffering) is happening or will be happening by the subject (first person singular).
Aaalaykum: upon you (plural)/ for you
AAathaba: suffering of/ torture of
Note: the root is Ain-TH-B and it means an easy to swallow food or drink. AAaTHAB is what makes one not take an easy to swallow food or drink. That is suffering of.

Note: YAWMIN is derived from the root Y-W-M and it means day. YAWMIN means the day.
Aaatheemin: great
