أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ لاَ يَسْتَوُونَ عِندَ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

AjaAAaltum siqayata alhajji waAAimarata almasjidi alharami kaman amana biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri wajahada fee sabeeli Allahi la yastawoona AAinda Allahi waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena

The Aya says:
Did you (plural) make providing water to the pilgrims and maintaining the mosque that is forbidden to violate like someone who has faith in Allah and the day of judgment and exerted efforts and the path of Allah despite adversity ?! They are not equal at Allah's and Allah does not guide that unjust people.

My personal note:

This statement indicates that the faith in Allah and the day of judgment as well as the actions while in Faith are superior to action logistics whether in maintenance or /and bringing drinks to the pilgrims. This is especially when the person taking care of the logistics is doing it out of tradition rather than faith as in the case of the polytheists of Mecca on whom the statement is based.

I did discuss in the previous statement related to the word derived from the root Ain-M-R and that it often means being there and praying in a mosque. However, the word also can indicate the building and maintaining of the structure. In this context, it can still cover praying in the place but the context points strongly to the maintenance with or without prayer in it.

One very important message of this message is that Allah does not guide the unjust. This is very important to remember when reading statements in the Qur’an that says “Allah guides whoever He wills”. It puts context that if we are unjust by placing things outside of their place especially when the wrong of our actions is pointed to us then we become at risk of falling into this predicament that we want to avoid. This is because we all are in need of Allah’s guidance no matter how smart and resourceful we are.

The range of meaning all those meanings together and one needs to understand it as both unless there is a strong reason in the sentence or elsewhere in the Qur’an to make one meaning inappropriate or impossible.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the same subject and gives the criteria for the one who actually brings life to the mosques by following the above criteria.

مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يَعْمُرُواْ مَسَاجِدَ الله شَاهِدِينَ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِ أُوْلَئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ وَفِي النَّارِ هُمْ خَالِدُونَ
Ma kana lilmushrikeena an yaAAmuroo masajida Allahi shahideena AAala anfusihim bialkufri olaika habitat aAAmaluhum wafee alnnari hum khalidoona

The Aya says:
It was not for the polytheists that they enliven the mosques of Allah while they witness upon themselves in rejection. Those, their actions became voided and in the Hell they reside forever.

My personal note:

The Aya may be stating a fact and an order at the same time for the sentence allows both and they are not mutually exclusive. They come in two meanings:
1- That their prayer or whatever they do in the houses of worship do not bring life to the structure because the act of worship is not proper.
2- That they are not allowed to enter or pray in the Mosques. However, here the practice of the prophet was that they entered and negotiated in the Mosque of Medina which was also the house of the Islamic government. So, one cannot understand it in this sense as an absolute but one may possibly understand that they are not allowed to pray their prayers in the mosques. Islamically speaking there is only one area where non-Muslims are forbidden to enter and that is the Mosque in Mecca.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Ma kana: it is not/ it was not
Note: MA is for negation of what comes next. KANA is derived from the root 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 was or He happened to be. MA KANA together means: it is not or it was not

Lilmushrikeena: to the polytheists/ for the polytheists
Note: li means to or for. ALMUSHRIKEENA is derived from 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.

أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تُتْرَكُواْ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ جَاهَدُواْ مِنكُمْ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذُواْ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَلاَ رَسُولِهِ وَلاَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلِيجَةً وَاللّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Am hasibtum an tutrakoo walamma yaAAlami Allahu allatheena jahadoo minkum walam yattakhithoo min dooni Allahi wala rasoolihi wala almumineena waleejatan waAllahu khabeerun bima taAAmaloona

The Aya says:
Or did you (plural) figure that you will be left while Allah has not yet known in actuality those who exerted effort opposite resistance and they did not take short of Allah, nor his messenger nor the faithful intrusion?! And Allah is well informed in what you do.

Translation of the transliterated words:
The word that is derived from the Ain-L-M means knowledge in reality/ actuality/ facts. At times it is used for knowledge in anything but the definition covers the reality of things. So, when it comes in a sentence where it is says “Allah has not yet known” it is to be understood in the reality of term that Allah has not yet known in reality. Meaning that for it to count, it has to happen, although Allah had known what would happen but to count it needs to happen.

I also translated the word WALEJA as intrusion because the term includes in it letting in an entity that is of a different nature than the one at hand. So, the picture here is that Allah and His messenger and the faithful are of one category but the waleejas is letting intrude another entity in between that does not share the common likes, dislikes, interests than the former and therefore would be aiming to disrupt and those who let them in may have committed an act of disruption by allowing this intrusion.

Waothkuroo ith jaAAalakum khulafaa min baAAdi AAadin wabawwaakum fee alardi tattakhithoona min suhooliha qusooran watanhitoona aljibala buyootan faothkuroo alaa Allahi wala taAAthaw fee alardi mufsideena

The Aya says:
And remember as He made you inheritors after Aaad, and established you well in the earth. You take to yourselves forified houses from it’s plains and you carve the mountains homes/ shelters. Therefore, remember the blessings of Allah and do not mess in the earth causing harm/ corruption.

My personal note:
There is a new word in this passage and that is TaAATHAW and it means when someone causes mess or unruliness. In concrete the term points to unruly hair or grass that is gotten wild and dry and unruly and so on. The term in the context of the sentence points to causing mess or unruliness and so which in turn causes harm to the earth and whoever is on it.

In this is the important to understand message is that the following of Allah’s law as it is understood from this book is an essential component to help harmony and benefit to the earth and whoever is on it of humans and others.

OTHKUROO is derived from the root TH-K-R and it means mention and remember, at the same time. The concrete word is something running on the tongue as if speaking it. Another concrete word is male or the male organ. The relationship between the two is not very clear and they can be different words that share the sound but have different root.

وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَيَتُوبُ اللّهُ عَلَى مَن يَشَاء وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
Wayuthhib ghaytha quloobihim wayatoobu Allahu AAala man yashao waAllahu AAaleemun hakeemun

The Aya says:
And cleanses the rage of their hearts and Allah facilitates repentance upon whoever He wills. And Allah is knowing, wise.

My personal note:
The Aya continues to explain the wisdom of fighting in that particular instance and that through the fighting the hearts of the unbelievers get cleansed and they are helped by Allah to return to Him. Interestingly, this is actually what happened and without much fighting because this passage was before the retake of Mecca and it was retaken peacefully and the people of Mecca accepted Islam.

The Aya reminds us of Allah’s knowledge and wisdom and that what He orders is based on both and therefore has significance that may be beyond our understanding and grasp and immediate reaction to it. So, it asks us in a subtle way, to trust in Allah’s knowledge and wisdom in wanting what is best for all of humanity.

The Aya says:
