This is 3:154
ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن بَعْدِ الْغَمِّ أَمَنَةً نُّعَاسًا يَغْشَى طَآئِفَةً مِّنكُمْ وَطَآئِفَةٌ قَدْ أَهَمَّتْهُمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ يَظُنُّونَ بِاللّهِ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ ظَنَّ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ الأَمْرِ مِن شَيْءٍ قُلْ إِنَّ الأَمْرَ كُلَّهُ لِلَّهِ يُخْفُونَ فِي أَنفُسِهِم مَّا لاَ يُبْدُونَ لَكَ يَقُولُونَ لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ مَّا قُتِلْنَا هَاهُنَا قُل لَّوْ كُنتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ إِلَى مَضَاجِعِهِمْ وَلِيَبْتَلِيَ اللّهُ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَلِيُمَحَّصَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
Thumma anzala AAalaykum min baAAdi alghammi amanatan nuAAasan yaghsha taifatan minkum wataifatun qad ahammathum anfusuhum yathunnoona biAllahi ghayra alhaqqi thanna aljahiliyyati yaqooloona hal lana mina alamri min shayin qul inna alamra kullahu lillahi yukhfoona fee anfusihim ma la yubdoona laka yaqooloona law kana lana mina alamri shayon ma qutilna hahuna qul law kuntum fee buyootikum labaraza allatheena kutiba AAalayhimu alqatlu ila madajiAAihim waliyabtaliya Allahu ma fee sudoorikum waliyumahhisa ma fee quloobikum waAllahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori

The Aya says:
Then He brought down on you (plural), after the worry, safety sleepiness. It covers a group amongst you, while another group, their own selves made them concerned. They suspect in Allah, other than the binding truth, suspicion of the ignorance. They say: Will we have of the implement of entity? Say: The implement indeed, all belongs to Allah. They hide in themselves what they do not reveal to you (singular). They say: if belonged to us of the implement of an entity, we would not have been fatally injured here. Say: If you were in your shelters, then the ones on whom the fatal injury was written would have gotten exposed up to their beds. And in order that Allah tests what is in your chests, and in order that He purifies what is in your hearts. And Allah knows well in the entity of the chests.

My personal note:
This Aya continues the theme from the previous Aya. It points to the continuation of the story where they disobeyed and therefore had to sense the worry of the battle. Now, God mentioned that some of them were given peace and sleepiness while others were testy. The Aya ends with telling them that the use of LAW= If does not change what already happened.

In order so that you will not be sad on what you missed that passed you and not what hit you. And Allah (is) well informed in what you do.

My personal note:
This Aya continues the theme from the Aya before it. It describes the situation that happened and that is the Muslims or the majority of them were moving uphill, while the messenger remained behind and was calling them but they were not turning back. The Aya mentions that God gave them worry in place for the worry that the messenger endured in that situation. The Aya ends up with stating that the worry that happened to them is in order for them not to be saddened by what happened, nor what hit them for that battle was not a complete disaster and the Muslim community of Medina survived and thrived after it. The Aya ends up informing the Muslims that God is well informed in what we do.

وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللّهُ وَعْدَهُ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُم بِإِذْنِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ وَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي الأَمْرِ وَعَصَيْتُم مِّن بَعْدِ مَا أَرَاكُم مَّا تُحِبُّونَ مِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيَا وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ الآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنكُمْ وَاللّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Walaqad sadaqakumu Allahu waAAdahu ith tahussoonahum biithnihi hatta itha fashiltum watanazaAAtum fee alamri waAAasaytum min baAAdi ma arakum ma tuhibboona minkum man yureedu alddunya waminkum man yureedu alakhirata thumma sarafakum AAanhum liyabtaliyakum walaqad AAafa AAankum waAllahu thoo fadlin AAala almumineena

The Aya says:
And indeed, Allah was truthful to you (plural) in his promise, when you sensed them by His knowledge and permission, until you were weakened including self disputed in the implement and disobeyed after that He showed you what you like. Amongst you who seek this life and amongst you who seek the hereafter. Then He moved you away from them to test you, and He indeed forgave you. And Allah is one of abundance of favor over the ones who make themselves safe (in Him).

My personal note:
Here, the Aya goes to specifics about that incident that is called the battle of Uhud. In it the Muslims won at the beginning and then they started to collect and dispute on the gains of the battle, only to have their enemy come from behind and cause great chaos.
The Aya reprimands and offers AAafu= erasure of sin for this who disobeyed and erred during that battle. It explains and reminds them that the gains are better for the hereafter and for the discipline and the listening to the authority at that time. The Aya ends up with God’s favor on those who make themselves safe in Him.

بَلِ اللّهُ مَوْلاَكُمْ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ النَّاصِرِينَ

Bali Allahu mawlakum wahuwa khayru alnnasireena

The Aya says:
But Allah (is) your guardian and He (is the) best of the supporters.

My personal note:
This Aya continues the subject from the one before it. It seems to suggest that one main reason for the followers of the message to obey the rejecters is in case the rejecters gave them support attached with strings. This Aya then is a message for relative autonomy of the Muslim community. It also may mean that the Muslims should not receive support when there are strings attached that may affect their relationship with God.

The Aya reminds us that God is our guardian. He provides us our direction and guarantee and He is the best supporter that anyone can have.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Bali: But

My personal note:
This is a great word of advice to the ones who made themselves safe in God and His message not to willingly comply by/obey the demands of those who rejected.

Lima: to what/ because of what
Asabahum: hit them/ targeted and hit them
Note: the root Sad-W-B and it means in one of the concrete usages the rain falling on a place. This word is then used to mean targeting and hitting correctly. ASABA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the hitting of the object (hum= them) was made to happen by the subject (third person singular pointing to lima= to what).
Fee: in
Sabeeli: path of
Note: the root is S-B-L and it means and it means flowing water from the falling rain from the sky to the flowing water in the river and so forth. This is the concrete and the other uses are related as in path, which allows the flow, to soft flowing hair and so forth. SABEELI is the flowing water or the path of. It takes the meaning of path or even the trip on the path.
Allahi: Allah
Wama: and not
daAAufoo: they become weak
Note: the root Dhad-Ain-F and it means in concrete the folding of something in two equal parts. This has then two potential meanings one is multiplications because the one becomes two, or weakness because the thing was folded. Usually, one knows the difference from the context of the sentence. Here, the meaning is weakness. DaAAuFOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of becoming weak happened by the subject (third person plural)
Wama: and not
Istakanoo: they sought and lost vigor/ they sought and lost maneuvering
Note: ISTAKANOO is derived from the root S-K-N and the concrete is the ashes of the fire. The abstract is often used for calm and lack of activity, but it can be used for the lack of means to get out of a bad situation, very much as the ashes lost their means to keep the fire going. ISTAKANOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of seeking and achieving the loss of means in a conceptual fashion happened by the subject (third person plural). This then gets the meaning of loosing vigor and so on and so forth.
waAllahu: while Allah
yuhibbu: loves
Note: the root is Ha-B-B and it means in concrete seed. This word also means love. As if the seed is the product of love or the love will end up in a seed. YUHIBBU is an action that is derived from the root and that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of loving is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah) of the object Alssabireena= the ones who self restrain, coming up.
Alssabireena: The ones who self restrain/ the ones who are patient.
Note: the root is Sad-B-R and it means jail or prison. The word is used to mean patience and restraint at the same time, since both are about imprisoning our negative emotions, thoughts, and the push to act uninhibited. ALSSABIREENA are the ones who self restrain or the ones who are patient.

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَنْ تَمُوتَ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ الله كِتَابًا مُّؤَجَّلاً وَمَن يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَمَن يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ الآخِرَةِ نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَسَنَجْزِي الشَّاكِرِينَ
Wama kana linafsin an tamoota illa biithni Allahi kitaban muajjalan waman yurid thawaba alddunya nutihi minha waman yurid thawaba alakhirati nutihi minha wasanajzee alshshakireena
The Aya says:
And it did not happen to be for a self to die, except by knowledge and permission of Allah, a book made to a limit. And whoever seeks the rewards of this life, We will give him of her, and whoever seeks the rewards of the hereafter, we will give him of her, and We shall compensate the ones who are thankful.

My personal note:
KITABAN MUAJJALAN is a term that is difficult to translate. In a conceptual manner, it does mean a book with limits or endings on it. Those are limits of time and place. This can take the meaning that death is postponed for a person until the time of it comes and so forth.

The use of the WE to point to God is present in this Aya. We can hold many meanings:
1- A team with God at the top. Therefore it can point to work done by the servants of God whether angels or so forth.
2- Royal WE.
3- God as multiples. This third one is rejected because the Qur’an indicates clearly that God is one and indivisible.

So, this brings a rule in understanding the Qur’an. In understanding statements with multiple potential meanings, then the meaning that contradicts other clear and concise statements of the Qur’an is automatically rejected.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wama: and not
Kana: happened to be
Note: the root is 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). This in turn means: he were or he happened to be

Illa: except
Biithni: by knowledge and permission of/ with knowledge and permission of/ by license of
Note: Bi suggests that what comes after it is either an association with the action, a tool of the action or an object of the action or any combination of the three. If bi serves as an object of the action that it serves as an emphasis of the action. ITHNI is derived from the root Hamza-TH-N and it means ear in concrete. It also means hearing, knowing and approving at the same time and may be extended to acting according to that knowledge. ITHNI means knowledge and approval/permission of or license of.
Allahi: Allah
Kitaban: book
Note: the root K-T-B and it means putting things together as in grouping the herd together or closing the lips or writing (the most common use), because in writing, one puts the letters and the ideas together.

Muajjalan: kept till the end
Note: the root is Hamza-J-L and it means end of an entity. This entity can be time or place or anything that is determined by the sentence. MUAJJALAN means kept till end (of time, place or otherwise)

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 often corresponds with “and” but not always. SANAJZEE is derived from the root J-Z-W and the meaning is to compensate and for the noun Compensation. SANAJZEE is an action that will happen in the future. It means: the action of compensating will happen by the subject (First person plural pointing to Allah) to the object (alshakireena= the thankful)

The Aya says:
And Muhammad is but an envoy. The envoys have indeed passed before him. So, if he died or was fatally injured, you turned over your backs. And whoever turns over the back of his feet, then he will never cause harm to Allah, while Allah will compensate the ones who thank.

My personal note:
This is a very significant Aya. It prepared the Muslims of the time to remain followers of the message of God, even after the death of the messenger.

This Aya came during that battle where there was a rumor that the prophet was fatally injured and that caused many of the followers to desert their places.

وَلَقَدْ كُنتُمْ تَمَنَّوْنَ الْمَوْتَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَلْقَوْهُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ
Walaqad kuntum tamannawna almawta min qabli an talqawhu faqad raaytumoohu waantum tanthuroona

The Aya says:
And indeed you happened to be wishing death from before meeting him, therefore indeed, you saw him while you are looking.

My personal note:
This Aya continues the previous theme of the battle. It mentions that the followers of the message were looking forward to meeting death in the cause of God and now they have seen it and experienced it. This is pointing to the fact that the battle was hard and there was a good bit of death in it.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Walaqad: and indeed/ and verily
Kuntum: you (plural) were/ you happened to be
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KUTUM is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (second person plural). This in turn means: You (plural) were or you happened to be.
Tamannawna: wishing/ wishing destiny
Note:The root is M-N-Y and it means to destine/to write a destiny. I used write because in Arabic understanding, destiny is written. One concrete word is many for sperm because the sperm is destined for becoming a human being. Conceptually, the word is used for writing, reading and wishing a destiny or destiny itself. The context of the sentence decides which part of the range of the meaning applies. TAMANNAWNA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. Since it comes after Kuntum then it carries a different form. Kuntum Tamannawna means: You were wishing/ you happened to wish destiny of.
Almawta: the death
Note: the root is M-W-T and it means death or the opposite of life or the lack of voluntary movement. ALMAWTA is the death.
Min: from
Qabli: before
Note: the root Qaf-B-L and it means front. This is then carried in time or space or any plain of thought. If it is in time, then front means before, while place would be in front. It is used to mean acceptance and reception since we receive and accept using our fronts. QABLI here is front in time and that is before.
An: that
Talqawhu: you (plural) meet him/ you receive him
Note: the root is L-Qaf-Y and it means receiving as a concept which would be understood more specifically according to the sentence. Concrete uses of the word are a female that gets pregnant easily, therefore she received the sperm well. It is also used for the birds that hunt because they receive the prey easily and so forth. TALQAW is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of receiving or meeting the object (HU= him and pointing to death) is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person plural).
Faqad: then
Raaytumoohu: you (plural) saw him
Note: Note: the root R-Hamza-Y and it means viewing or seeing. RAAYTUMOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of viewing or seeing happened by the subject (second person plural) of the object (HU= Him and pointing to death)
Waantum: while you (plural)
Tanthuroona: are looking/ are waiting
Note: the root is N-THa-R and it means look and looking at time or place. If it is place then vision is the meaning and if it is time, then the meaning is waiting. TANTHUROONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of looking or waiting is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person plural). WAANTUM TANTHUROONA means: while you are looking or while you are waiting.

أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ جَاهَدُواْ مِنكُمْ وَيَعْلَمَ الصَّابِرِينَ
Am hasibtum an tadkhuloo aljannata walamma yaAAlami Allahu allatheena jahadoo minkum wayaAAlama alssabireena

The Aya says:
Or, did you (plural) think that you will enter the garden/hidden entity, while Allah has not yet known factually, those who exerted effort opposite resistance amongst you, and know factually, the ones who self restrain?

My personal note:
The Aya makes it important that we exert effort opposite resistance or struggle in the path of God. It also brings the importance of patience and self restraint.
The word that I translated into effort opposite resistance is JAHADOO. This word is often used for fighting. While fighting can be included within the struggle opposite resistance, our life is full of other struggles. One of those struggles come from within our own resistance to complying with His ordinances. This is also important since the Aya also includes “the ones who self restrain or who are patient”. As if to bring to our attention that the first struggle and resistance is against the self desires and biases that are directing us in the wrong direction. Self restraint and patience is also important when dealing with outside influences and aggressions.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Am: or
Hasibtum: you (plural) calculated/ measured/thought
Note: the root is Ha-S-B and it means calculation. This word then takes many other meanings according to the plane of thought that is talked about. It takes the form of thought and so forth. HASIBTUM is an action that is completed. It means: the action of calculation/measure/ thought happened by the subject (second person plural).
An: that
Tadkhuloo: You (plural) enter
Note: the root is D-KH-L and it means entering. TADKHULOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of entering is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person plural).
Aljannata: the garden/ the hidden entity
Note: the root is J-N-N and it means hidden or hiding. It is therefore used to mean darkness because it hides as well as garden because gardens can be hidden or because it has less light than the place out in the sun for the Arabs of the desert. ALJANNATA means: the garden/ the hidden entity.
Walamma: and not yet/ while not yet
yaAAlami: He knows in fact/ He knows factually
Note: YaAALAMI is derived from the root Ain-L-M and it means knowledge or knowledge of facts. YaAALAMI is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the action of knowledge of facts is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah, coming up next).
Allahu: Allah
Allatheena: those who
Jahadoo: struggled/ exerted effort opposite resistance/ fought
Note: JAHADOO is derived from the root J-H-D and it means exerting effort. JAHADOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. This is an interactive action that means they exert effort opposite resistance. This is a wide meaning and one of them may include fighting. However the resistance can come in all forms including psychological and personal. Fighting is included in the meaning in this context, but not limited to it.
Minkum: from you (plural)/ amongst you
wayaAAlama: and he knows in fact, and He knows factually
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. YaAALAMA is derived from the root Ain-L-M and it means knowledge or knowledge of facts. YaAALAMA is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the action of knowledge of facts is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah) of the object (Alssabireena= the patient/ the self restrained).
Alssabireena: The ones who self restrain/ the ones who are patient.
Note: the root is Sad-B-R and it means jail or prison. The word is used to mean patience and restraint at the same time, since both are about imprisoning our negative emotions, thoughts, and the push to act uninhibited. ALSSABIREENA are the ones who self restrain or the ones who are patient.

وَلِيُمَحِّصَ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَيَمْحَقَ الْكَافِرِينَ
Waliyumahhisa Allahu allatheena amanoo wayamhaqa alkafireena

The Aya says:
And in order that Allah purifies those who made themselves safe and make the rejecters vanish/dwindle.

My personal note:
The word Yumahhisa carries examination and purification at the same time. So, it has the purification from elements that are undesirable and then examining them. The same sentence carries the action of making vanish the rejecters. This is linked through WA with the previous sentence. It can be understood in two manners:

1- Making vanish the rejecters who are in the group that is with the prophet, as part of the act of purification.
2- Making them vanish period.

And both meanings are actually possible and not mutually exclusive.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waliyumahhisa: and in order to purify/ and in order to examine
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. LI means in order to or to. YUMAHHISA is derived from the root M-Ha-Sad and it means in concrete the leg of the horse that is lean and is easy to examine the muscle structure. It is also used to mean the act of purification of Gold from things that are attached to it. So, conceptually, it is used for purification and close examination at the same time. YUMAHHISA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making the object (Allatheena Amanoo= those who made themselves safe, coming up) purified and examined is happening or will be happening by the subject, Allah coming up.
Allahu: Allah
Allatheena: those who
Amanoo: Make themselves safe
Note: the root is Hamza-M-N and it means safe or safety. AMANOO is an action that is derived from the root and that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (not mentioned and therefore the subject and the object can be the same entity here) become safe happened by the subject (third person plural). So, it ends up meaning: they made themselves safe.
Wayamhaqa: and make disappear/vanish/ including make vanish
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. YAMHAQA is derived from the root M-Ha-Qaf and it means in concrete usage the disappearing moon or vanishing moon at the end of the lunar month, or the camels that deliver only males and therefore will not reproduce. Conceptually, it carries the meaning of vanishing or dwindling. YAMHAQA is an action that being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of vanishing the object (Al kafireena= the rejectors) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to God)
Alkafireena: the rejecters
Note: the root is K-F-R and it means covering. One of the concrete meanings of the word is the burying of the seed in the ground to plant it. This word also takes the meaning of rejecting or refusing something, since the person that rejects something will bury it in the ground. ALKAFIREENA are the rejecting ones or the rejecters.

The Aya says:
If an open wound is to touch you (plural), then a similar open wound touched the other people. And these are the days, We exchange them between the people, and in order that Allah knows in fact those who made themselves safe (in Him) and take from you witnesses/martyrs, while Allah does not love the transgressors.

My personal note:
This Aya and the other Ayat that preceded it and that are following are talking about a battle where defeat or near defeat happened to the followers of the messenger. The name of the battle is Uhud. Here, Allah is telling the followers that if they were touched by hardship and open wound of suffering, then the others were touched by it. It reminds them that Allah tests them at times to know, in manifestation of facts, the ones who remain steadfast. It also mentions the taking of witnesses. Witnessing here can encompass within it, any form of witnessing including those who died in that battle, because they witnessed the greatness and mercy of God.

Translation of the transliterated words:
In: if

The aya says:

It asks them not to loose their strength and resolve in following the message and not to be worried or sad about what happens. It then reassures that they are the ones on top, if they happened to make themselves safe in Allah and His message.

Translation of the transliterated words:

قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ سُنَنٌ فَسِيرُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ فَانْظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذَّبِينَ
Qad khalat min qablikum sunanun faseeroo fee alardi faonthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu almukaththibeena

The Aya says:
Verily, passed before you (plural) consistent implementation of rules, then move in the land, then look/ contemplate how was (the) consequence of those who made untruths.

My personal note:
Sunan is a word that points to consistency and repetition. The Aya points to us that consistent rule of punishment for those who make untruths. The making of untruths can be in two ways:
1- Declaring the truth to be untruth.
2- Making untruths and claiming them to be truths

Both definitions apply here.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Qad: verily
Khalat: they passed on/ they left/ they emptied
Note: the root is KH-L-W and it means emptying from all or emptying from all except ---. One concrete word that is from this root is KHALIA and is the name of the bee hive because it is empty of any life but the bees. KHALAt is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: The action of emptying happened by the subject (third person plural feminine pointing to Sunan= applications of rules/groups).
Min: from
Qablikum: before you (plural)
Note: the root Qaf-B-L and it means front. This is then carried in time or space or any plain of thought. If it is in time, then front means before, while place would be in front. It is used to mean acceptance and reception since we receive and accept using our fronts. QABLI here is front in time and that is before. KUM is plural you.

Sunanun: consistent application of rules/ rules
Note: the root is S-N-N and it means in concrete tooth or teeth. This word also takes many other meanings that are related in different words to the concrete. One of the meanings is aging and years, probably because the teeth change with years and last long even after death. It is also used to mean the action that is repeated identically very much as the teeth chew identically over and over. Sunanun takes that meaning which is applications or rules or consistent application rules.
Faseeroo: then move/ then travel
Note: Fa means then, or therefore or so. SEEROO is derived from the root S-Y-R and it means movement. SEEROO is an order to a group of people. It means move or travel in this sense.
Fee: in
Alardi: the land/ the earth
Note: ALARDI is derived from the root Hamza-R-Dhad and it means earth or land. ALARDI is the earth/ the land.
Faonthuroo: then look/ then contemplate
Note: FA means therefore or so. ONTHUROO is derived from the root N-THa-R and it means look and looking at time or place. If it is place then vision is the meaning and if it is time, then the meaning is waiting. ONTHUROO is an order for action that is addressing a plural. It means look. This “look” may have a touch of contemplation.
Kayfa: how
Kana: he was/ he happened to be
Note: the root is 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). This in turn means: he were or he happened to be
AAaqibatu: consequence of
Note: the root is Ain-Qaf-B and it means back of foot. This is the concrete meaning and it is used to mean end, back or behind including the consequence of a person’s presence or action and it can also mean obstacle. AAaQIBATU means consequence of.
Almukaththibeena: the ones who make untruth
Note: the root is K-TH-B and it means a lie or not true. ALMUKATHTHIBEENA are the ones who make untruth. This could be because they make things up and claim them to be truths, or because they claim the truth to be untruth, and both meanings apply here.

Salaam all and have a great day.
