 Salaam all


10:69

 قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لاَ يُفْلِحُونَ

 

qul inna alladhīna yaftarūna ʿalā l-lahi l-kadhiba lā yuf`liūna

 

The Aya says:

Say (O Muhammad):  Indeed those who attribute falsehood to Allah do not lead to success.

 

My personal note:

The Aya is a reassurance that falsehood never succeeds and it is a matter of time before it is exposed.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

qul: : say/ respond

Note: QUL is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QUL is a demand or request addressed to a singular.  It means: say or respond. 

 

Inna: indeed

Alladhīna: those who

Yaftarūna: concoct/ makeup

Note: the root is F-R-W or F-R-Y and it means the fur of the animal or the scalp that is normally covered with hair. This word is used when people are concocting things and making things up that are not true. It could be related to the action of cutting the skin apart or making things up as in making a dress out of the skin and so forth. YAFTAROON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of concocting or making up untruths is or will be made to happen by the subject (third person plural). 

Alā: upon

l-lahi: Allah

l-kadhiba: the untruth/ the falsehood

Note:  KATHIB is derived from the root K-TH-B and it means a untrue.  Conceptually, it can be extended at times to mean a lie, although the core of the meaning is untruth, whether it is a lie or not, conscious or not.  ALKATHIB means untruth or falsehood.

 

lā yuf`liūna: they do not succeed/they do not lead to success

Note: LA is for negation of what follows.  YUFLIHOON is derived from the root F-L-Ha and it means to plow the land. This is also considered as a cause for one to have the better harvest. YUFLIHOON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. This verb means literally, make themselves cause better harvest. This, in turn means make themselves succeed but also open the door for others to succeed. 

 

Salaam all and have a great day


Hussein
