Salaam all,

This is 3:199
وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَمَن يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ خَاشِعِينَ لِلّهِ لاَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً أُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
Wainna min ahli alkitabi laman yuminu biAllahi wama onzila ilaykum wama onzila ilayhim khashiAAeena lillahi la yashtaroona biayati Allahi thamanan qaleelan olaika lahum ajruhum AAinda rabbihim inna Allaha sareeAAu alhisabi

The Aya says:
And indeed amongst the people of the book (are those) who make themselves safe in Allah and what was brought down to you (plural) and what was brought down to them, manifestly submitting to Allah. They do not exchange a cheap price for Allah’s signs. Those, to them belongs their compensation at presence of their nurturing Lord. Indeed Allah is rapid in the accounting.

My personal note:
This passage is important in bringing about one important rule in reading the Qur’an. The rule is that general statements are subject to particular exceptions. So, the statements in the Qur’an which may be speaking negatively about Christians and Jews should not be taken as absolutes or as talking about all Christians and Jews, but more as general statements that are open to many exceptions. This particular Aya reveals that there are indeed other statements in the Qur’an that show us the exceptions.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wainna: and indeed
Min: from
Ahli: people of/ family of
Note: the root is Hamza-H-L and one concrete meaning to the word is the fat that surrounds the back of the animal. It is used conceptually to mean family or any of the people that are closely associated with the entity being discussed. This could be because they are like the fat as in they engulf and protect and so forth and gain protection at the same time.
Alkitabi: the book
Note: the root is K-T-B and it means writing. ALKITAB means the process of writing and that means anything that is related to writing from the ink to the paper to the ideas that are written. The most common use of the word is the book, but it can mean the process of writing.
Laman: indeed who
Yuminu: makes oneself safe
Note: the root Hamza-M-N and it means safety. YUMINU is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making oneself safe is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular).

Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If is the object of the action then it makes it stronger. In here the action is making become safe. ALLAH is Allah.
Wama: and what/ including what
Onzila: was brought/ was descended
Note: the root is N-Z-L and it carries the meaning of arrival to stay and descent. One concrete meaning is the descent of the person from his or her horse or camel as they arrive at the place where they plan to stay.

Note: the root is KH-SH-Ain and in a concrete sense, it means to lower your head, your gaze and your voice. Another concrete meaning is the land that is uncovered by plants and is open to the effect of nature. The conceptual meaning then takes vulnerability, acknowledging own weakness and manifesting submission to (GOD, but it could be others). KHASHIAAeeN are the people that are humble/acknowledge their weakness and submission to authority in all their body (including eyes and voice) and minds.
Lillahi: to Allah
La: not
Yashtaroona: they buy/ the exchange/ they take in exchange
Note: the root is SH-R-Y and it means selling something to get something in return or buying something and paying with something else or taking something and giving in return something else. YASHTAROONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of taking an object (thamanan qaleelan= cheap price) in exchange for (AYATI ALLAHI= the signs of Allah) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). Because it is preceded by LA= not, then it is a negation of action.
Biayati: Signs of/ by signs 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. AYATI is derived from the root Hamza-Y-H and it means sign. AYATI means signs of. So, here there is emphasis on the act of rejection of the signs.
Allahi: Allah

Lakini allatheena ittaqaw rabbahum lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha nuzulan min AAindi Allahi wama AAinda Allahi khayrun lilabrari

The aya says:
But to those who acted consciously of their nurturing Lord, belong gardens, rivers flowing underneath. They stay unchanged in them. Place of landing from at Allah’s presence and what (is) at Allah’s presence (is) better for the firmly grounded.

My personal note:
This Aya reminds us of the contrast between the previous Ayat talking about the seeming success of the people who reject Allah and the actual success of those who act conscious of Allah.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Lakini: but
Allatheena: those who
Ittaqaw: acted consciously of/ acted conscious of
Note: ITTAQAW is derived from the root W-Qaf-W and it means guarding or protecting. Since the best way to guard is through consciousness and action according to consciousness.

Lilabrari: to/for the firmly grounded/ the ones with safe landing/ the dependable people.
Note: LI means to or for. ALABRARI is a word that is difficult to translate. In concrete the root B-R-R means land/firm ground as opposed to sea. As a concept, it gives different meanings as in the safe thing to do, the dependable thing to do and the obeisance to orders. ALABRARAI are the ones who are firmly grounded/ the dependable ones/ the ones with safe landing and so on of conceptual meanings.

مَتَاعٌ قَلِيلٌ ثُمَّ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ
MataAAun qaleelun thumma mawahum jahannamu wabisa almihadu

The Aya says:
A little fulfillment of needs, then their place of refuge is Hell, and hardship is the bedding.

My personal note:
Here, The Aya brings that all the apparent success of the people who reject the message is just a little fulfillment of needs in this life. The place of refuge or end is Hell. The Aya ends with hardship is the bedding. This is because we try to make the best place to sleep on peacefully and for those people, that bedding is not.

Translation of the transliterated words:
MataAAun: belonging of/ tools to goals of/ fulfillment of needs
Note: the root M-T-Ain and it means when the wine becomes very red or when the rope becomes tight. This is the concrete and the concept gives the meaning of something or someone reaching where it needs to reach within the limits of time, space, etc. This could be fulfillment of needs or reaching goals and so forth. All within limits. MATaAAuN is the action of reaching the goals/ fulfillment of needs, or the tools of reaching the goals or anything in that process, or any combinations of the three.

Wabisa: and hardship is/ and worse
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/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. BISA is derived from the root B-Hamza-S and it means lion for concrete. The word is used to mean hardship or hard depending on the situation. BISA means hardship or worse in this situation.
Almihadu: the bedding

The Aya says:
Our nurturing Lord, and bring to us what you promised us through your envoys, including not making us defeated on the Day of Judgment. Indeed, you (singular) do not renege on the promise.

My personal note:
This continues the prayer of those people. They mention God’s promise that came with the messengers that those who follow them will be in God’s graces always and especially on the Day of Judgment. They ask that their Lord does not allow defeat or humiliation touch them on that day, and they reiterate their trust that Allah never reneges on His promises.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Waatina: and bring us/ and give us
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. ATINA is derived from the root Hamza-T-Y and it means in concrete the water that comes from the rain of another land. In a conceptual manner, it means the coming of something or someone with many of it’s implications. ATI is a request addressed to a singular by a group. It means: make come to us or in short bring us/ give us.

AAala: on/ upon

WALA TUKHZINA takes the meaning= and do not make us humiliated/defeated.
Yawma: Day of/ day when

ALMeeAAaDA means in concrete time and/or place of promise but conceptually, it extends beyond that to promise itslef. This takes the meaning of appointment at times, but here, it takes the meaning of the promise itself.

Take care and have a great day.

This is Aya 3:193
رَّبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُواْ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الأبْرَارِ
Rabbana innana samiAAna munadiyan yunadee lileemani an aminoo birabbikum faamanna rabbana faighfir lana thunoobana wakaffir AAanna sayyiatina watawaffana maAAa alabrari

The Aya says:
Our nurturing Lord: We heard a caller, calling for the safety. That make yourselves safe in your nurturing Lord, therefore we made ourselves safe. Our Nurturing Lord then provide us protective cover from our sins, and bury our hated entities (words and deeds) away from us, and take us with the firmly grounded (in your love and worship).

My personal note:
I translated IGHFIR which is usually translated as forgive as provide us protective cover. This is because protective cover is the more encompassing meaning which includes forgiveness (protection from the effect of sin), but also protection from falling again in the sin.
ALABRAR, which I translated as firmly grounded can also be understood, as the ones who did all the right things in their love and worship of Allah. I used firmly grounded because it covers the same meaning, but also because it relates to the concrete meaning of the word BRR= firm ground.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Rabbana: our nurturing lord
Note: the root is 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. RABBA is nurturing Lord of. NA means our or us.

Note: the root is N-D-Y and it means in concrete dew or water touching a surface. It is also used for voice arriving to an entity. In both, the shared meaning is something touching or arriving at another entity. In this instance, it is the calling. YUNADEE is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means the action of calling is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular).

RABBIKUM 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. KUM means plural you.
Faamanna: therefore, we made ourselves safe.

Faighfir: then forgive/ then provide protective cover
Note: the root GH-F-R and it means the helmet of the soldier in the battle. This one of the concrete words and the word is therefore used to mean protective covering in many fashions as in protecting the person from the error or protecting the person from the consequence of error and that is forgiveness. IGHFIR is a request/ order addressed to a singular (here God) asking Him to perform the action of making protective cover/ providing protective cover or forgiving.
Lana: to us/ for us
Thunoobana: our sins
Note: THUNOOBANA is derived from the root th-n-b and it means tail of an animal. However, it also has the meaning of sin or crime or error. Thunooba means sins or crimes of. NA means us.
Wakaffir: and make buried/ make covered.

Sayyiatina: hated entities/ hated or ugly words or deeds
Note: the root is S-Y-Hamza and it means hated word or deed or feeling. It can also mean ugly or vulnerable. All the meanings are linked somehow by one concept.

Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after.

This then takes different meanings according to the plane of thought of the sentence. One meaning could be death since it is a meeting of dues, or just a taking of someone or something depending on the situation. TAWAFFANA is a request addressed to a singular. It means: make us meet our dues and this could mean death and possibly, other things that fall within the general of meeting dues.
maAAa: with
alabrari: The firmly grounded/ the ones with safe landing/ the dependable people.
Note: this is a word that is difficult to translate. In concrete the root B-R-R means land/firm ground as opposed to sea. As a concept, it gives different meanings as in the safe thing to do, the dependable thing to do and the obeisance to orders. ALABRARAI are the ones who are firmly grounded/ the dependable ones/ the ones with safe landing and so on of conceptual meanings.

Salaam all and have a great day.

Inna fee khalqi alssamawati waalardi waikhtilafi allayli waalnnahari laayatin liolee alalbabi

The Aya says:
Indeed, in (the) creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and day, are signs for people of healthy minds and hearts.

My personal note:
OOLI ALALBABI are people who resort as their ultimate resource to a healthy way of looking at things and of studying. This means that their vision is not hindered by bias or minimally hindered by it. The Aya mentions that those people can see and understand the significance of the signs of God.

وَلِلّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاللّهُ عَلَىَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Walillahi mulku alssamawati waalardi waAllahu AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

The Aya says:
And to Allah belongs the authority over the heavens and the earth, and Allah (is) on every entity, all capable.

My personal note:
This Aya reminds us that Allah has the authority over everything and He measures and is capable over every entity. He created all, has authority over all and knows all and is capable over all.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Walillahi: and to Allah belongs
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. Li means to or belongs to. Allah is Allah.
Mulku: ownership of/ authority over/ kingship over
Note: the root is M-L-K and it means ownership or authority over something. One concrete meaning is the fruit when it becomes strong and held together. So, in a sense MULK has the meaning of holding things together in a strong bond and that is the authority. MULKU is the kingship or authority over or ownership of.
Alssamawati: the aboves / the heavens/ the beyond the earth
Note: the root is S-M-W and it means rising. This word is used to mean many things that are related to that meaning. One of the meanings is name because when a person’s name is called, he or she would rise and respond. ALSSAMAWATI are the aboves or what are above, that is the skies or the heavens or any entity from the atmosphere to beyond that.
Waalardi: and the earth
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.

ALARDI is the earth/ the land.
waAllahu: And Allah/ while Allah
AAala: over/on/ upon
Kulli: each/ every
Note: the root is K-L-L and it means the parts put together. This is the concrete and it means all or every or each. KULLU means each or every.
Shayin: entity/ anything
Note: the root is SH-Y-Hamza and it means entity. SHAYAN means entity. It is taken here to mean a thing.
Qadeerun: all capable
Note: the root is Qaf-D-R and it means in concrete cooking the meat in the pot. For abstract it takes the meaning of measuring, encompassing and the capability to cover the exact need. QADEERUN means: an entity that measures and is capable to perform accordingly. This takes the meaning of all capable.

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلاَ تَكْتُمُونَهُ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَاء ظُهُورِهِمْ وَاشْتَرَوْاْ بِهِ ثَمَناً قَلِيلاً فَبِئْسَ مَا يَشْتَرُونَ
Waith akhatha Allahu meethaqa allatheena ootoo alkitaba latubayyinunnahu lilnnasi wala taktumoonahu fanabathoohu waraa thuhoorihim waishtaraw bihi thamanan qaleelan fabisa ma yashtaroona

The Aya says:
And as Allah took the assurance of the ones who were given the book that you (plural) shall make it clear to the people and not suppress it. Then they discarded it behind their backs and took in exchange for it a little price. Therefore, bad, is what they took in exchange.

My personal note:
This Aya contains a rule that Allah sent to the people who were given the book before us including Jews and Christians. The rule is let all the book known and clarified to all the people and never hide any knowledge. This rule applied to them and it applies to Muslims since are now also given “the book”. If one hides anything or changes anything for any gain, then the gain is miserly and it is a very bad and losing trade.

The aya says:
Each self tastes death and you (plural) will meet the dues of your compensations on the Day of Judgment. Therefore, whoever was distanced from Hell and entered paradise, then he won. And the nearer life/ this life, is only a tool for the ones who pursue falsehood.

My personal note:
The Aya reminds us that we will all die and therefore it reminds us of the Day of Judgment and the life that happens after it. It mentions in the end that a person who cares only about this life that we are living, then he or she is pursuing the tools of the people who seek falsehood or who seek the uncertain. This is opposed to the certainty of wanting to be with God on that day.

This is a continuation of the previous Aya where it declares that many messengers came before with all the clear signs of messenger-ship including well written books that are full of light and they were rejected and declared untrue by their people.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Fain: therefore if/ so if
Kaththabooka: they declared you (singular) untrue/ a lie
Note: the root is K-TH-B and it means a lie or not true. KATHTHABOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (ka= singular you) untrue happened by the subject (third person plural). The making of the object untrue here takes the meaning of declaring the object untrue or a lie.
Faqad: then indeed
Kuththiba: were declared untrue
Note: the root is K-TH-B and it means a lie or not true. KUTHTHIA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (rusulun= messengers or envoys) untrue happened by an undeclared subject. The making of the object untrue here takes the meaning of declaring the object untrue or a lie.
RUSULUN: messengers/ envoys
Note: the root is R-S-L and it means to envoy someone or a group of people or animals. The concrete word is RASL and it means a group of people or animals that were sent by their owners or senders. RUSULUN means envoys or messengers.
Min: from
Qablika: before you (singular)
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 of. KA is a singular you
Jaoo: they came
Note: the root is J-Y-Hamza and it means coming. One concrete word that is derived from this word is the pool where the rain water comes. JAOO is an action that is completed and that is derived from the root. It means that the action of coming happened by the subject (third person plural).
Bialbayyinati: with the clarifiers/ by the clarifiers
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object or an association with an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. ALBAYYINATI is derived from the route B-Y-N and it means between. This word then assumes many meanings as separation and distancing between two or more things. It also carries the meaning of clarification between two things. Here, it adopts the meaning of clarification. ALBAYYINATI means the clarifiers or clarifications.
Waalzzuburi: and the psalms/ including the psalms
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. ALZZUBURI is derived from the root Z-B-R and it means in a conceptual manner, when the entity has good qualities as a man with great thought power, the hard rock and the well written book. ALZZUBURI is generally used to point to the psalms of David, but it can be used as well to any well written book,
Waalkitabi: and the book/ including the book
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. ALKITABI is derived from 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. ALKITABI means, the process of writing or the book or anything related to it from the ideas to the ink and paper to the place where all is put together.
Almuneeri: the making of light/ the producer of light
Note: the root is N-W-R and it means lighting. This could be lighting light or lighting fire according to the word and the context. ALMUNEER is the entity that makes light.

Salaam all and have a great day.
