Salaam all,

This is 2:113
وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ النَّصَارَى عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى لَيْسَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ الْكِتَابَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ فَاللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
Waqalati alyahoodu laysati alnnasaraAAala shay-in waqalati alnnasaralaysati alyahoodu AAala shay-in wahum yatloona alkitabakathalika qala allatheena layaAAlamoona mithla qawlihim faAllahu yahkumubaynahum yawma alqiyamati feema kanoo feehiyakhtalifoona

The AYA says:
And the Jews said: the Christians are not on anything (of good). And said the Christians: the Jews are not on anything (of good), and they (both) recite and follow the book!! So said the people that don’t know similar to their (Christians and Jews) saying. So, the GOD will judge with utmost fairness between them on the day of judgemet in what they differed/diverged/discorded.

My personal note:
This AYA talks to all of us that we should not indulge on who is on any good (in direction) or not. For the judge is GOD. Indulging in such talk is similar to the talk of the people that lack knowledge. People of knowledge are not expected to indulge in such talk.

بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ للَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ وَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Bala man aslama wajhahu lillahiwahuwa muhsinun falahu ajruhu AAinda rabbihi walakhawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona

The Aya says:
No, but whoever dissociates his face (direction, reception, acceptance and whole) from bonds and from harm to (bond to) The GOD while causing goodness. So, he has his compensation at his nurturer's, and there is no fear on them and they will not become sad.

My personal note:
This AYA is of great importance because it touches what a Muslim is. According to my understanding here, It is the person that dissociates his/her direction/whole/reception/acceptance from bonds and from harm in order to bond to the GOD. Therefore it is a totally voluntary act of dissociation from the bonds that prevent us from doing so. It is also a dissociation from Harm and therefore a peaceful transition in all it’s aspects

Translation of the transliterated words:
Bala: No, but
Note: this is a term that is used to make a point of disagreement.
Man: Who/whoever
Aslama: makes dissociated from harm (of any nature) and/or bonds (to form another)

Note: the root is Qaf-W-L and it means to say. QALOO is the third person plural past tense of the verb.
Lan: Never

وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتُواْ الزَّكَاةَ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لأَنْفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
Waaqeemoo alssalata waatooalzzakata wama tuqaddimoo li-anfusikum minkhayrin tajidoohu AAinda Allahi inna Allaha bimataAAmaloona baseerun

The Aya says:
And keep upright/maintian the SALAT (prayer/what makes you run towards GOD) and bring about the ZAKAT (what makes come the maturity, spiritual and otherwise through charity and other wise), and what you forward to yourself, you will find at the GOD’s. GOD indeed sees what you do.

My personal note:
This is an advice from GOD to all humanity that it needs to keep the two concepts of SALAT that is understood as prayer, but which can be looked at as something deeper and wider as the process that makes us run towards GOD, ZAKAT is understood as the obligatory charity, yet it too has to be understood in wider form and that it is what makes us grow and mature spiritually and otherwise. GOD, as always reminds us that he sees and knows what we do, and all the we do of good is remembered by GOD.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waaqeemoo: And make stand upright
Note: WA means And. AQEEMOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-M and it means to stand upright. AQEEMOO is an order to a group of people and it means to make stand upright abd therefore, it is an order to maintain something and doing It right.
Alssalata: The prayer/what makes you run towards GOD
Note: this is one of the words that are most difficult to explain. SALAT was present in Aramaic and it means prayer. In Arabic has the same meaning as well. In concrete terms SALA means the lower back of an animal. A horse that is Musalli is a horse that is racing towards the goal and whose head is approaching or overlapping the lower back of the horse ahead. This picture comes to mind when watching muslims pray in a congregation. In a sense then the Salat is what makes us run/race towards GOD.
Waatoo: And make come
Note: the root is Hamza-T-W and it means to come with determination. AATOO is an order that addresses the group of people and it means make come.
Alzzakata: What causes/makes maturity/growth (spiritually and otherwise)
Note: the root is Z-K-W and it means to grow/to mature in spiritual and other ways. ALZAKAT is what makes one mature or what causes maturity. This is understood as the obligatory charity which is true since it does help others grow materially and it also helps the giver spiritually in a win win situation.
Wama: And what/whatever
Tuqaddimoo: Put forward/forward
Note: the root is Qaf-D-M and it means foot for the noun and to foot for the verb. In abstract it means to become forward in time (as being earlier) or space (as being ahead). TUQADDIMOO is the second person plural present od future tense of a verb that is related to the root. This verb means make forward and that means put forward.
li-anfusikum: To yourselves
Note: LI means to. ANFUSIKUM is derived from the root N-F-S and it means to breath for the verb and breath for the noun. The abstract means self since the self breathes. ANFUS is the plural of self. KUM means plural you.
Min: of/From
Khayrin: Good/choice (which is considered good)
Note: the root is KH-Y-R and it means to chose and choice for the noun. KHYR means choice which is also understsood as good.
Tajidoohu: You find him/you will find him
Note: the root is W-J-D and it means to find for the verb and finding for the noun with the understanding that is a good. The concrete word is for the place where water accumulates which was considered a great finding for the arabs of the desert.

وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُم مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّاراً حَسَداً مِّنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِّن بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّ فَاعْفُواْ وَاصْفَحُواْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

The Aya says:
Many of the people of the book love to turn you back after your safety (in GOD) to covering (From GOD and his message), wishing from themselves that you loose the goodness after the right/truth had been clarified to them. So, forgive and turn away until the GOD comes/brings with his order. The GOD is capable of measuring and executing everything

My personal note:
This Aya emphasizes the forgiveness and the turning away from people that may wish us to loose the good that GOD provided us. It leaves open that an order may come from GOD to otherwise, in some specific circumstances. Absence of those circumstances will oblige us to always use this rule to any who wish us the loss of the good that GOD provided us.

Translation of the Transliterated words:
Wadda: Loved/liked
Note: the root here is W-D-D and it means to love or to like. WADDA is the third person singular past tense of the verb

Alkitabi: The book/the process of writing
Note: the root is K-T-B and it means to write. ALKITAB is anything that relates to writing. This could be the source material, the ink, the pen, the paper and the book itself.

(Zoroastrians, hndus, budhists and so forth)
Law: That/if

ISFAHOO is an order to a group to give the wide side. This is an order to give the front which means forgive or accept or the back and that means to turn away. I chose the turn away because the forgiveness was addressed by the previous word. GOD knows best.

My personal note:
This Aya is a reassurance to the people that the message of GOD will always be present. GOD has always made his message present and will always make it present. We just have to open our minds for it, have consciousness to receive it, look for it and ask GOD for it.

وَاتَّبَعُواْ مَا تَتْلُواْ الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَى مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَلكِنَّ الشَّيْاطِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَآ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّى يَقُولاَ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلاَ تَكْفُرْ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِ وَمَا هُم بِضَآرِّينَ بِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلاَ يَنفَعُهُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمُواْ لَمَنِ اشْتَرَاهُ مَا لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلاَقٍ وَلَبِئْسَ مَا شَرَوْاْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ

The AYA says:
And they followed for themselves what the satans (beings, people or otherwise that pull people from the right place) followed on the rule of Solomon. Solomon did not cover (from GOD’s message), but the Satans did. They teach the people how to deceit (the senses as in magic and otherwise) and whatever was sent to the two messengers in Babel Haroot and Maroot. And they (the two) were not teaching anyone until they say: “We are but trickery (that requires hard tests to clear), so do not cover (yourself from GOD’s orders and messages, with this knowledge), so they learn from them what divides between a man and his partner, and they are not harming by it of anyone except with the knowledge of the GOD. And they learn what will harm them and not benefit them, and they have known that whoever takes it will not have resources in the hereafter, and hardship is what they have taken for themselves if they knew.

My personal note:
There are important messages that come from this and one is the definition of Satan: one who takes you from your right place and it can be human or non human. It also mentions that magic is the deceit of the senses and therefore the message here is the honesty in dealing and in presenting things to people, and that learning how to deceit people is one of the very few forms of knowledge that are harmful to the person that learns and the person that is the sufferer from it.

The aya also reminds us that all happens with GOD’s knowledge and reminds us that the people that harm other people are in fact harming themselves.

Note:

My personal note:
The Aya talks about some of the people that were given the book before the prophet and that is a designation given mostly to Christians and Jews. The Aya points out that the prophet came declaring true what the people of the book have. The AYA also points out that the people that cast away the book of GOD behind their backs become people without knowledge.

This continues the main point of the message of the Qur’an and that is knowledge is very important. It also points out that one needs to read the book in order to make sure that they actually gain the knowledge.

أَوَكُلَّمَا عَاهَدُواْ عَهْداً نَّبَذَهُ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Awa kullama AAahadoo AAahdannabathahu fareequn minhum bal aktharuhum layu/minoona

Note:
The Aya says “Or is it that whenever they exchanged a promise (with GOD), a group of them put it away, but most of them do not make selves safe (in GOD)”

My personal note:
This Aya points out that people should keep their promises to GOD and not cast them away as they please. Casting away of a promise that is made to GOD is a sign of not making oneself safe in GOD.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Awa kullama: Or whenever
AAahadoo: Made a promise and/or a demand
Note: the root is Ain-H-D and it means a promise or a demand or both. AAaHADOO is a third person plural past tense of a verb that is derived of the same root. This verb is interactive and suggests a promise and /or demand made with another entity.

Aktharuhum: Most of them
Note: the root is K-TH-R and it means to become many in quality and quantity. AKTHAR means the more numerous. HUM means them and therefore AKTHARUHUM means the more numerous of them and that is really most of them.

Note:
The Aya says “And We (GOD) made arrive to you (Muhammad) signs that clarify, and will not bury their minds at them except for those that leave the right path.”

My personal note:

Note:
The Aya says “Whever was an enemy of the GOD and his angels and his messengers and Gabriel and Michael, so the GOD is an enemy to the ones that bury (their minds from his message or messengers)”

My personal note:
GOD here reminds the humans that being an enemy of GOD is something that equals burying the minds from the message and the messengers of GOD. Doing this will make the human an enemy of GOD. This is a position that no human can win.

My Personal note:
This Aya mentions Gabriel the angel. It says that whoever is Gabriel’s enemy, then Gabriel is the one that brought the message on the heart and mind of the prophet.

My personal note:
The Aya says that many of the people that claim that they are going to heaven wish that they live a thousand years, however this length will not move them away from the suffering. The AYA then reiterates that GOD is knowledgeable of what all do.

Note:
The Aya says “And never will they wish him (death) ever by what their hands had forwarded. And the GOD knows well of the ones the misplace right and wrong (transgressors).”

My personal note:

They said: WE heard and we resisted, and they were soaked the baby cow in their hearts and minds by their covered mindedness. Say: hardship what your process of attaining safety orders you to do, if you were feeling safe (in that process)

My personal note:
The AYA talks again about the covenant between the Israelites and GOD. It mentions that the Israelites were asked to hear and understand the oat and take it with strength. However, they said we understood and we resisted or disobeyed. The AYA also talks that the baby cow that was worshipped was soaked into some of their hearts and minds by closed mindedness. The AYA talks that this process of belief and trust and attaining safety leads to hardship if that is what they trust.

This AYA is a reminder to all of us to keep our hearts and minds open to GOD and his messages. IT also invites us to reexamine our systems of belief and see if they are leading us in the right direction or not.

Note:
The Aya says “and Moses came to you with the clarifications/clarifiers, then you took the baby cow for your (worship) after him, while transgressing/misplacing right and wrong.

My personal note:
The Aya is a reminder that people are always at risk of falling in errors and in misplacing right and wrong, even after a clear message came to them as the one that Moses brought.

In a way, GOD asks the Israelites and all humanity to be careful and look for the clarity in His message, in order not to fall in error and misplace right and wrong as the Israelites did with Moses.

Translation of the Transliterated words:
Walaqad: And (with some stress)
Jaakum: Came to you
Note: the root is J-Y-Hamza and it means to come. JAA is the third person singular past tense of the verb. KUM means you.
Moosa: Moses
Bialbayyinati: With/by the clarifications/clarifiers
Note: the Bi means with/by/at depending on the situation. ALBAYYINATI is derived from the root B-Y-N and it means between in the concrete form. For the verb it means to become between and that means to distance, to clarify and to die in different abstract forms that will be understood according to the place in the sentence. ALBAYYINAT is plural of BAYYINA and that means clarifiers/clarifications.
Thumma: Then

Note: the root is T-KH-TH and it means to take. ITTAKHATHTUM is the second person plural past tense of a verb that is derived from the root. This verb You took to yourselves, with the understanding here of (for worship)

Note: the root is Ain-J-L and it means speed and to be in a hurry. AAiJL means baby cow and that is probably because it is born in a hurry and it hurries to stand very fast(and GOD knows best).

baAAdihi: After him (Moses)
Note: the root is B-Ain-D and it means to become further in time or space. Further in time meaning later or after. BAAaD means after, and HI means Him for Moses.

Thalimoona: Trasngressing /putting things not where they belong
Note: the root is THa-L-M and it means to place things not where they belong and it is understood as a transgression. The concrete word is THALAM and it means darkness since the darkness makes people misplace things. THALIMOON are the people that put things not where they belong.

Salaam all,

This is 2:91
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُواْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُواْ نُؤْمِنُ بِمَآ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرونَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنْبِيَآءَ اللَّهِ مِن قَبْلُ إِن كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Wa-itha qeela lahum aminoo bimaanzala Allahu qaloo nu/minu bima onzilaAAalayna wayakfuroona bima waraahu wahuwa alhaqqumusaddiqan lima maAAahum qul falima taqtuloonaanbiyaa Allahi min qablu in kuntum mu/mineena

Note:
The Aya says “And if it was said to them (Israelites): trust in what The GOD made arrive (message). They said: We trust in what was sent on us, and they cover their minds at what is behind it. And He (The message that is behind the Israelites’ message) is the Right (true and the right of GOD on people) declaring true to what is with them (Israelites). Say (order to Muhammad): So, why do you kill the prophets of the GOD from before if you were trusting (in them and their messages?”

My personal note:
The Aya addresses a dialogue between some of the Israelites and the prophet. That when some of the Israelites are asked to trust in the new message, they will say that they trust their message. GOD then says that they (Israelites) cover their minds from what is behind (it’s skin, which means later in timing and also depth because what is behind the skin is the deep cavity of the body). GOD reiterates that this new message is the Right (ALHAQQ which is a word that combines truth and rights). The Aya ends with a question to be posed on the Israelites and the question asks: Why did you kill the prophets if you trusted in them and their message?

The question is important, because it challenges the Israelites into contemplating that what they accept as from GOD, was refused before by some of their ancestors. This is a reminder that not every message that was refused deserved to be refused.

This challenge, although addressing the Israelites, applies to all of us. The big message is again that we should never cover our minds from GOD’s message.

Salaam all,

This is 2:90
بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْاْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَن يَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ أنَزَلَ اللَّهُ بَغْياً أَن يُنَزِّلُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ عَلَى مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ فَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى غَضَبٍ وَلِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ
Bi/sama ishtaraw bihi anfusahum anyakfuroo bima anzala Allahu baghyan an yunazzilaAllahu min fadlihi AAala man yashaomin AAibadihi fabaoo bighadabin AAalaghadabin walilkafireena AAathabun muheenun

Note:
The Aya says “Hardship is what they took to themselves, that they close their minds at what God made arrive, in an ugly act of immaturity. That GOD made arrive (guidance) of the overflowing of his good to whoever HE (GOD) desires of his servants/slaves, so they (Israelites), came home at anger upon anger, and to the closed minded (of GOD’s messages) suffering that humiliates into suppleness.

My personal note:
This Aya talks about some of the Israelites but applies to all humanity. The Aya says that the person that closes his/her mind at GOD’s message will take hardship.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Bi/sama: Hardship/badness what
Note: the root of this word is B-Hamza-S and it means Lion in the concrete sense. The abstract word is related to the lion and therefore it can mean Hard/Strong (like the lion) of Hardship (if you have to deal with the lion.). The verb means to become hard or experience hardship. BI/SA means Hardship/badness and so forth. MA means what
Ishtaraw: They bought/they took to themselves
Note: The root is SH-R-W and it means to buy or to take something in exchange for something else. The important issue is the taking and the desire for what was taken. ISHTARAW is the third person plural past tense of a verb that is derived from the root and that means Took to themselves.

Note: the root is N-F-S and it means breath and it means Self as well. ANFUS is the plural of NAFS and it means Selves. HUM means them.
An: That
Yakfuroo: They refuse/cover themselves in their prejudice/they disbelieve/they close their minds

Note: the root is N-Z-L and it means to arrive. ANZALA is the third person singular past tense of a verb that is derived from the root. This verb means made arrive.
Allahu: The GOD
Baghyan: In immature ugliness
Note: the root is B-Ghayn-W and the concrete word that explains it is young animal or a young immature fruit. The abstract meaning derives from this in two ways Desire (because youth is desirable) and immaturity in a bad way(because youth is immature). One would know the difference according to the words in the sentence. BAGHYAN here would be the immature ugly behavior.
An: That
Yunazzila: He makes arrive
Note: N-Z-L is the root and it means to arrive. YUNAZZILA is the third person singular present tense of a verb that is derived from the same root. This verb means to make arrive.

Note: Wa means And. LI means to. ALKAFIREEN is derived from the root K-F-R and it means to cover. The abstract means to disbelieve/refuse/close your mind to since in all those situations, one covers oneself from the messages. ALKAFIREEN is plural for those people and I chose closed minded.
AAathabun: Suffering
Note: the root is Ain-TH-B and it means to avoid desirable food or drink (ATHB) because of some suffering. AAaTHAB is the process that makes one avoid the desirable and that is suffering.
