12:24
Walaqad hammat bihi wahamma biha lawla an rra’a burhana
rabbih; kathalika linasrifa AAanhu assoo’a walfahshaaa’; innahu min AAibaadina almukhlaseen
The Aya says:
And she
indeed stirred by him and he stirred by her except that he saw his nurturing
Lord’s proof. As such in order to divert
from him the bad including the abomination/ sexual kind. He is indeed one of our purified worshippers.
My personal
note:
I translated
the word HAMMA and HAMMAT as stirring and that is because the word carries in
it the urge and also potentially the action.
Because it was stopped at the urge stage by seeing Allah’s proof, then
it did not translate into action and would not count as a sin. Qur’anically,
thoughts and urges are not a sin unless followed by words or action.
Translation
of the transliterated words:
Walaqad: and
indeed
Hammat: she
stirred
Note: HAMMAT is derived from the root
H-M-M and it means temptation or contemplated thought which may or may not be
followed by commencement of action upon that temptation. Sometimes, the meaning
will take the form of commencement of action alone, others the concern or
thought alone and in others, both. HAMMAT is an action that is completed. It
means: the action of stirring for action happened by the subject (third person
singular feminine).
Bihi: by/ in him
Note: BI signifies an
attachment or close linkage between what is before and what is after it. In a Verbal sentence it can mean attachment
to the action or to the subject as it does the action. This attachment can then signify many things
according to the verb and to the sentence and so on. HI means Him or it and it points to
Joseph.
Wahamma: and
he stirred
Note: WA here for the contrast and means and. HAMMA is derived from the root H-M-M and it means temptation
or contemplated thought which may or may not be followed by commencement of
action upon that temptation. Sometimes, the meaning will take the form of
commencement of action alone, others the concern or thought alone and in others,
both. HAMMA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of stirring
for action happened by the subject (third person singular masculine).
Biha: in her/ by her
Note: BI signifies an
attachment or close linkage between what is before and what is after it. In a Verbal sentence it can mean attachment
to the action or to the subject as it does the action. This attachment can then signify many things
according to the verb and to the sentence and so on. HA means He.
Lawla: if
not/ except for
An: that
rra’a: he
saw
Note: the root is R-Hamza-Y and it means viewing or seeing. The term also
applies to what we see in dreams. RA’A
is an action that is completed. It means: the action of seeing the object (BURHANA
RABBIH= His lords proof) happened by the subject (third person singular
pointing to Joseph).
Burhana: proof
of/ convincing proof of
Note: the root is B-R-H-N and it means to
prove convincingly. BURHANA is the convincing proof of.
Rabbih: his
nurturing Lord
Note: RABBIH is derived from the root R-B-B and it means nurturing
and Lordship as two components of the meaning that can be present together or
one at a time according to the context of the sentence. RABBI is nurturing Lord of. HI means him.
Kathalika: as
such
Linasrifa: in
order to divert/ channel
Note: Li
means to or in order to. NASRIFA the root is Sad-R-F and it means: the moving or managing of
an entity. NASRIFA is an action that is
happening or will be happening. It
means: the action of diverting or channeling the object (ASSOO’A= the bad)is
happening or will be happening by the subject (first person plural).
AAanhu: from
him/ away from him
assoo’a: the
bad/ the ugly
Note: the root is S-Y-Hamza or S-W-HAMZA
and it means hated word or deed or something. It can also conceptually mean
ugly or vulnerable. All the meanings are linked somehow by one concept. This
word then means different things according to the plane of thought that is
being talked about. ASSOO’A means the bad/ugly/ not righteous.
walfahshaaa’: and
the abominable/ including the abominable
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. Alfahsha’ is derived from the root F-Ha-SH and it
means: the ugly word or deed or any word or deed that has exceeded the border
of decency and appropriateness. The term is often used related to sexual acts,
but it is not limited to it. ALFAHSHA’ is the ugly word or deeds including
sexually or nudity/indecent exposure.
Innahu: indeed
he
Min: of/
from
AAibaadina: our
servants/ our worshippers
Note: AAiBADINA is derived from the root
Ain-B-D and
it means slave or servant. The road that
is MUABBAD is the road that is well trodden and made easy to walk or drive on
and so on. Conceptually, aAABD is an
entity that is easy to manage and does smooth sailing either by it’s own or by
being subject to pressure from above. It
is used for slave or servant or anyone who is humbled for love or devotion or
by the sheer power of the other entity. This
is the definition of worship in a sense.
AAiBADINA means our worshippers/ servants through worship.
Almukhlaseen: the
chosen/ the extracted/
the pure/ the cleansed
Note: the root is KH-L-Sad and it means
to become sole as in free from impurities. Conceptually, this can mean becoming
pure but it also can mean being designated to a single entity and so on. In
this context it carries the meaning of being solely or exclusively designated
or cleansed and purified. ALMUKHLASEEN ae the pure or cleansed and chosen.
Salaam all and have a great day
