فَسِيحُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِي اللّهِ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ مُخْزِي الْكَافِرِينَ
Faseehoo fee alardi arbaAAata ashhurin waiAAlamoo annakum ghayru muAAjizee Allahi waanna Allaha mukhzee alkafireena
The Aya says:
Then move in the land four months and know for fact that you (plural) never overburden Allah and that Allah is humiliating the rejecters.
My personal note:
The Aya gives them a reprieve of four months to correct the situation and also to give them ample time to be ready for the time when the break is completed. It is a message to the muslims to always be open in their communication with their adversaries in situations like this.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Faseehoo: then melt/ then travel/ then move
Note: Fa means then or therefore or so. SEEHOO is derived from the root S-Y-HA and it means the flowing water or liquid on the face of the earth. It is conceptually then used for travel and sometimes for fasting because if you are fasting as if you are travelling and not knowing when is your next meal. SEEHOO in this context points to travel and pilgrimage. It means: then travel.
fee: in/ on
alardi the earth/ the land
Note: ALARDI is derived from the root Hamza-R-Dhad and it means earth or land. ALARDI is the earth/ the land.
arbaAAata: four
ashhurin: months
note: the root is SH-H-R and it means the appearing moon. The concrete means known or apparent because it appears as clearly as the moon. It is also used to mean month, because the month corresponds with the appearing moon, it starts with the moon when it appears and the new month comes with the reappearance of the new moon.. ASHHURIN means months.
waiAAlamoo: and know (plural)/ know for fact/ Be aware
Note: WA here is to resume a sentence. iAALAMOO is derived from the root Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. iAALAMOO is an order or a request addressed to a group. It means: know or know for fact.
Annakum: that you (plural)
Ghayru: other than/ not
muAAjizee: successfully pushing back/ capable of resisting/ overburden
Note: the root is Ain-J-Z and it means push away. In concrete it is used for pushing the dirt away and so on. Conceptually, it is used for inability or failure as well as for pushing away. MuAAJIZEE means making the other unable so, it points to pushing away/ back or successfully resisting.
Allahi: Allah
Waanna: and that
Allaha: Allah
Mukhzee: humiliating/ embarrassing
Note: the root is KH-Z-Y and it means being overpowered, emabarrassed or humiliated. MUKHZEE means humiliating and embarrassing and putting in a situation that is bad
Alkafireena: the rejectors
Note: ALKAFIREEN is derived from the root K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it. This is then used conceptually for many purposes as in discarding and rejecting as well as burying. ALKAFIREENA are the ones who reject the truth or discard it.

بَرَاءةٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى الَّذِينَ عَاهَدتُّم مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
Baraatun mina Allahi warasoolihi ila allatheena AAahadtum mina almushrikeena
The Aya says:
Allah and His messenger declare a breakup with those to whom you (plural) had a treaty amongst the polytheists.
My personal note:
This Aya declares that a treaty that was previously made with a certain group of polytheists is now broken and declared null and void.
There is a story behind this. The muslims had a treaty with the people of Mecca and held their part. However, when the people of Mecca and their allies breached the treaty this aya came to announce to all including the Muslims of Medina and the people of Mecca that the treaty of peace is now not valid anymore.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Baraatun: dissociation/ non-committal/ breakup
Note: the root is B-R-Hamza and it means dissociation from an entity. This takes many meanings according to the situation. One of them is cure from disease because it is dissociation from disease, another is creation of a living thing out of a dead thing and that is dissociation from the state of death and any other type of dissociation in between. BARAATUN means dissociation/ non- committal/ breakup.
Mina: from
Allahi: Allah
Warasoolihi: and his messenger/ and His envoy
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 is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. RASOOLIHI 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. RUSULUN means messengers of and is the plural of RASOOL who is the one that is sent and is used to mean the messenger because he was sent by the sender to the receiver. RASOOLI means messenger of or the envoy of. HI means him and it points to Allah.
Ila: to/ towards
Allatheena: those who
AAahadtum: you (plural) made oath with/ you (plural) exchanged promises/ had a treaty with
Note: the root is Ain-H-D and it means a promise or a demand to promise or both. It also includes the fulfillment and meeting the promise. AAaHADTUM is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making an oath in an interactive manner happened by the subject (second person plural)
Mina: og/ amongst
Almushrikeena: the ones who make partners (To Allah)/ the polytheists
Note: the root SH-R-K and it means partner or partnership and with this partnership is a measure of equality or being on par. ALMUSHRIKEENA are the ones who make partners to God in worship or in action and that includes the polytheists.

And those who became faithful after that and migrated and struggled with you (plural), then those are of you. And the relatives some of them are more deserving of some in Allah’s book. Indeed, Allah, in everything knowing.
My personal note:
The term oloo AlArham is literally translated the ones of the womb and is an idiomatic expression for blood relatives. The Aya does mention that relatives should take care of each other and be responsible for each other as a matter of obligation as long as there is no important blocker of this system.

The Aya says:
And those who attained faith and migrated and struggled in Allah’s path and the ones who gave shelter and support, those are the faithful truly. To them belongs protective covering and generous provisions.
My personal note:
The term faithful truly or faithful in truth should not be understood that others are false believers. It is understood by scholars that those have reached a high level of Iman, which occurs in grades rather than being a yes or no and therefore their high grade of faith is acknowledged and is accepted. So this does not negate faith from others who did not do the same but makes their degree of faith at a lesser level or their faith may need more work to rise up to that standard. Indeed the two groups that are being talked about and those are the early muslim followers of the prophet in Mecca and the ones that sheltered them in Medina are considered the best faithful of all the muslims.

وَالَّذينَ كَفَرُواْ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ إِلاَّ تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُن فِتْنَةٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ
Waallatheena kafaroo baAAduhum awliyao baAAdin illa tafAAaloohu takun fitnatun fee alardi wafasadun kabeerun
The Aya says:
While the ones who rejected, some of them are guardians of each other. If you fail to do it then there will be hardship in the land and big corruption.
My personal note:
The aya continues the theme from the previous Aya and ends up with a conclusion. It mentions that non Muslims should be guardians of themselves and therefore has an order to the muslims not to interfere in their internal affairs.
The aya brings a conclusion that failure to abide by those teachings will bring hardship, great trials and corruption and harm in the land. In a sense we see a good bit of this these days because of groups of people interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and groups.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Waallatheena: while those who/ and those who
Kafaroo: rejected (Allah and His message)/ discarded
Note: the root is K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it. This is then used conceptually for many purposes as in discarding and rejecting as well as burying. KAFARO is an action that is completed.

fitnatun: a test/ a severe test/ a trial/ a hardship
Note: the root is F-T-N and it means in concrete form, the melting of Gold or silver in order to know the pure from the impure or the true from the fake. Therefore, in abstract, the word suggests an extreme test with hardship in it, or a burn with fire or even taking someone’s eyes with the glitter of the false Gold and silver. Here, it means the severe test or trial or hardship.
fee: in
alardi the earth/ the land
Note: ALARDI is derived from the root Hamza-R-Dhad and it means earth or land. ALARDI is the earth/ the land.
Wafasadun: amd / including great harm/ corruption/ damage

The Aya says:
Indeed those who attained faith and migrated and exerted effort opposite adversity by their money and their own selves in Allah’s path and the ones who gave shelter and support, some of them are guardians of some. While those who attained faith but did not migrate you (plural) have no guardianship over them until they migrate, but if they seek your support in the religion then you have to help them except against a group with whom you have an oath. And Allah in what you do very seeing.
My personal note:
This Aya seems to give a very important ruling that applied to the muslim communities in the muslim state of Medina vs those who were living outside of it. The ruling is that the guardianship is applicable only to the muslims living within the boundaries of the state and that the Muslims of Medina are to leave the muslims outside of it or not under it’s jurisdiction autonomy in their affairs. This is what happened then when the bonds between the Muslims who migrated and the ones who received them because very strong as to include even inheriting each other for a while as a sign of the strength of the bond of Guardianship between each other and as a sign of communal unity.
This is a ruling that continued to apply to the Muslims over the centuries that Muslims not living within the boundaries of the Caliphate were autonomous and not subject to rules and regulations of the Caliphate. However, if they needed and asked for help whether in terms of religious rulings or support against religious oppression then the Muslim state should support them unless there is an oath with the state that those muslims are living under.
This message is very relevant to Muslims and non Muslims of today and that Muslims should not have divided allegiances wherever they live. And if they live under a non Muslim state, which is the case in the majority of the world, then they should not receive their instructions from any state that claims to be Islamic and if that state is actually authentic, then it should not interfere in their lives in any way possible unless to protect them in case they were threatened.
