Waanzalna ilayka alkitaba bialhaqqi musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi mina alkitabi wamuhayminan AAalayhi faohkum baynahum bima anzala Allahu wala tattabiAA ahwaahum AAamma jaaka mina alhaqqi likullin jaAAalna minkum shirAAatan waminhajan walaw shaa Allahu lajaAAalakum ommatan wahidatan walakin liyabluwakum fee ma atakum faistabiqoo alkhayrati ila Allahi marjiAAukum jameeAAan fayunabbiokum bima kuntum feehi takhtalifoona

The Aya says:
And We brought down to you (singular) the book by the binding truth, declaring true to what is between his hands of the book and witnessing upon him. Therefore rule between by what Allah brought down and do not join and follow their desires/ bias away from what came to you of the binding truth. To each amongst you we made a path including a clear path. And if Allah willed He would have made you a one nation, but in order to test you in what he brought to you. So, race to good deeds. Towards Allah is your return, all, then He will inform you in what you happened to be disputing.

My personal note:
The term Muhayminan carries the meaning of witness and arbiter and protector at the same time. So, when the book that came to Muhammad (pbuh) is declared as muhayminan upon the book. This carries the notion that this book is the ultimate arbiter in case of dispute or potential misunderstanding of the other books as in the Old or New testament. It declares what truly came from God vs what truly is not from God vs what is neutral.

The term “to each amongst you is a path including clear path” covers the two words here are Shiraa which means: the path to the water and this conceptually covers any well trodden path to Allah including to Allah’s laws and so on. The potential meaning of this statement is that it may have pointed to the fact that the books of God carried different laws that God expected the people to follow while asking all to worship the one God. This is the understanding of most people of tafsir.

The term could also cover each and every person of us that Allah made for this person a clear path to the water. The “water” here could be the Qur’an and Sunna for the Muslim and for whomever the qur’an and Sunna are available. In case they are not available, as in barriers of non exposure or barriers of understanding or barriers of living before their time, then the path is for the best source that will lead the person to God, whether it is the bible or something less significant according to the situation.

Translation of the transliterated terms:

Walyahkum ahlu alinjeeli bima anzala Allahu feehi waman lam yahkum bima anzala Allahu faolaika humu alfasiqoona

The Aya says:
And let the people of the Evangile steer by what Allah brought down in it, and whoever does not rule by what Allah brought down, then those are the ones who left the path.

My personal note:
This Aya contains the third statement describing the ones who do not rule by what Allah has descended upon us. The first time it described them as Kafiroon which carries the designation of discarders and rejectors of the truth. The second time, it described them as Tahlimoon which means unjust or anyone who puts things out of their proper place and this third time, it describes them as Fasiqoon or the people who left the path, or make others leave the path or put harm in the path.

The three terms are someone interrelated and give three aspects or features of the same thing.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Walyahkum: and let them rule/ judge/ steer
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after.

Note: the root is Hamza-H-L and one concrete meaning of 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.

Allahu: Allah
Faolaika: then those
Humu: they

Note: the root is F-S-Qaf and it means in concrete when the seed is out of it’s pod or when the rat is out of her house or causing harm to the regular path of the people. So, it is used for someone leaving the path or someone harming the safety of it. This is then understood as when one is out of the right place for them. In the Qur’an, it is used to mean being outside of God’s way. ALFASIQOON are the one who left God’s path or are trying to put harm or obstacles in it.

Wakatabna AAalayhim feeha anna alnnafsa bialnnafsi waalAAayna bialAAayni waalanfa bialanfi waalothuna bialothuni waalssinna bialssinni waaljurooha qisasun faman tasaddaqa bihi fahuwa kaffaratun lahu waman lam yahkum bima anzala Allahu faolaika humu alththalimoona

The aya says:
And we mandated upon them in her (The Torah) that the self by the self and the eye by the eye and the nose by the nose and the ear by the ear and the tooth by the tooth and the physical injuries are equitable payback. So, whomever made charity by him (the equitable payback) then it is an atonement for him. And whomever does not rule by what Allah brought down, then those are the unjust.

My personal note:
This Aya is well known and it relates to us what was related in the Torah and is applicable for us. It says that the tooth for the tooth and it relates to us that it is the rule of Qisas. Islamically speaking, this Qisas is applied to the principle of the equitable payback for the physical injuries including murder. Equitable payback can be through the right of the victim to ask for an exactly similar physical injury or a payment in money or otherwise for the worth of the loss or pain and so on.

The Aya then proceeds that if the victim forgave the aggressor then it is an atonement for the victim. This then mean that the equitable physical injury is the maximum that the victim can ask for with preferrance for forgiveness and even better forgiveness.

Inna anzalna alttawrata feeha hudan wanoorun yahkumu biha alnnabiyyoona allatheena aslamoo lillatheena hadoo waalrrabbaniyyoona waalahbaru bima istuhfithoo min kitabi Allahi wakanoo AAalayhi shuhadaa fala takhshawoo alnnasa waikhshawni wala tashtaroo biayatee thamanan qaleelan waman lam yahkum bima anzala Allahu faolaika humu alkafiroona

The aya says:
Indeed WE brought down the TORAH. In her (Torah) are guidance and light. By her, rules the prophets who committed themselves to Allah, as well as the Godly people and the scholars, to those who were Jewish, by what they were entrusted to safe keep of Allah’s book. And they happened to be witnesses upon him (the book of God). Therefore do not fear the people and fear ME (Allah), and do not take, by my signs, a cheap price. And Whomeve does not rule by what Allah brought down then those are the rejectors.

My personal note:
The term RAbbaniyyoon is translated as the Godly people, but the word carries many potential meanings that apply. They include the people who are Godly as well as the people of nurturing as in teachers and any people who lead to the straight path.

The other term is KHASHYA. It carries carries fear within it, but mixed with hope. So, the order to fear Allah here is a fear with hope, because there is always hope in Allah’s love and Mercy.

The last statement in here is also very important. It says: “And whomever does not rule by what Allah brought down then those are the rejectors”. This is to be looked at as rejectors or KAFIRS in contrast to the term MUMIN that came in the preceding Aya. So, this is KUFR as opposed to Iman and since Iman does not fall under an all or none rule, then this particular Kufr that is contrasted with it, is also not an all or none rule. However, it suggests rejecting part or parts of the message of Allah and that makes their Iman deficient but not necessarily absent, although it could be. However, this is not Kufr contrasting with Islam, which would make them become non Muslims.

It is important to remember the important discussion between Ibn Abbas ® and the Khawarej, an early Muslim group that declared the Caliph of the Muslims Ali ® as Kafir. When Ibn Abbas met them, they brought this Aya and Ibn Abbas responded: “Kufr la yukhrij aan Al Milla= Rejection that does not take you out of the religion (Islam)”. Of course, he could have argued with them, correctly, that Ali ® did nothing of what they claimed, but Ibn Abbas ® was wise enough to send a message to all Muslims that come after him to be careful not to misunderstand this Aya and not to misuse it.

Wakayfa yuhakkimoonaka waAAindahumu alttawratu feeha hukmu Allahi thumma yatawallawna min baAAdi thalika wama olaika bialmumineena

The Aya says:
And how they ask you to judge, while with them is the TORAH?! In her,Allah's ruling. Then they move away after that. And those are not of the ones who make themselves safe.

My personal note:
This aya and the one before it may give a glimpse or part of the reason why Jews and Christians are given relative autonomy within a Muslim state. It is because the rule of Allah or some of the rule of Allah is contained within the Torah.

The Aya also lets us know that there was a TORAH present in Medina at the time and that the Jews of the city read it and used it for ruling.

The Aya expresses some skepticism on why and how the Jews of Medina would come to the prophet (pbuh) for a ruling when what they looked for was present in their book. It suggests that they were trying to run away from the rule of Torah to get something more to their liking, but they found the same thing from the prophet (pbuh).

The books of tafsir relate to us a story linked to those Ayat, also present in the books of Hadeeth, that some of the Jews of Medina came to the prophet (pbuh) to rule about a man and woman who committed adultery. When the prophet asked them about the rule of Torah, they said something different from what was written. So, He asked to bring the TORAH to read and the prophet asked them to uphold the rule of Torah, which was stoning.

This Aya should not be understood that a Muslim is bound by the rulings of Torah, but it can be understood that the Jew or a Christian can ask, within an Islamic system, to have the rule of Torah upheld on him, while he also has the option to uphold the Islamic rulings instead if he or she wished. There is however, some skepticism about ruling shopping to find what suits him or her best.

The aya says:
(They are) listening approvingly to the untruth, eating intensely of the prohibited. So, if they come to you (singular) then rule between them or move away from/avoid them and if you avoid them then they will never hurt you a thing. And if you ruled, then rule between them by the fairness. Indeed, Allah loves the ones who cause fairness.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the issue of those who were mentioned in the previous Aya and they include some Jewish people of Medina as well as people who declared Iman but have either absence or incomplete Iman in their hearts.

The Aya emphasizes again the issue of listening and approving or at least giving credence to untruth as well as an added element and that is “AKKALOONA lilsuhti”. The term carries with it eating with emphasis or stress as well as SUHT which is a term that encompasses, within this context, any earning or gain of any kind that is coming from inappropriate means.

The Aya emphasizes that if the prophet (pbuh), and this extends to any Muslim ruler, is to rule this kind of group then he is ordered to rule by fairness despite the group’s issues and excesses.

Ya ayyuha alrrasoolu la yahzunka allatheena yusariAAoona fee alkufri mina allatheena qaloo amanna biafwahihim walam tumin quloobuhum wamina allatheena hadoo sammaAAoona lilkathibi sammaAAoona liqawmin akhareena lam yatooka yuharrifoona alkalima min baAAdi mawadiAAihi yaqooloona in ooteetum hatha fakhuthoohu wain lam tutawhu faihtharoo waman yuridi Allahu fitnatahu falan tamlika lahu mina Allahi shayan olaika allatheena lam yuridi Allahu an yutahhira quloobahum lahum fee alddunya khizyun walahum fee alakhirati AAathabun AAatheemun

The Aya says:
O you messenger/ envoy, do not let those who hurry in rejection sadden you amongst those who said by their mouths: we made our selves safe, while their hearts did not and amongst those who are Jewish. They listen approvingly to the untruth, listening intently to other people who did not come to you. They edge the statements after their placement. They say: If you are given this then take it and if you are not given it then be cautious. And whoever, Allah wants to severely test (and potentially fail), then you (singular) will never have an authority of a thing of Allah for him (the tested person). Those are the ones whose hearts Allah did not seek to cleanse. To them belongs, in this life, humiliation and to them belongs great suffering in the next life.

My personal note:
I translated the term Yuharrifoona alkalima as edging the statements. This “edging” carries two potential meanings:

1- Changing the statements
2- Changing the meaning of the statements.
Both can happen and have happened while the second is the predominant one in the case of this kind of activity amongst Muslims.

The Aya brings about a very important distinction related to Iman=Safety and trust in Allah and his messenger. It reveals that saying by mouth that I am Mumin is not automatically the same as the safety and trust in the heart which encompasses the mind and the emotion. There are things to consider:

1- The Iman of the heart does not fall under an all or none rule, but is in degrees.
2- So the Aya points out that the presence or absence of the iman of the heart manifests in our actions.
3- So, when the Aya negates Iman from their hearts, this negation can be complete absence of Iman, or it can be an Iman that is weak and therefore did not reach critical mass to make people trust all the statements of Allah and His messenger.

The Aya does also bring about the statement of “Those whose hearts Allah did not seek to cleanse”. This statement is to be taken within the context that the actions or lack of actions of those people made them deserving of such a punishment. Therefore the message to all of us, wherever we fall within the Iman of the heart spectrum, is to always act with Taqwa (consciousness of God) and to always self reflect on our hearts to ask God to cleanse it from any vestige of disturbing doubt. I used disturbing doubt rather than just doubt, because that is the word that was condemned in the Qur’an “RAYB”. Also because it is very difficult or nearly impossible to remove all doubt. The disturbing doubt is easier to remove and should be removed. May Allah always help us with cleansing our hearts and may we always have stronger safety and trust in Him.

Alam taAAlam anna Allaha lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi yuAAaththibu man yashao wayaghfiru liman yashao waAllahu AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

The Aya says:
Have you (singular) not known that to Allah belongs the authority of the heavens and the Earth?! He makes whomever He wills suffer and protectively covers to whomever He wills. And Allah, upon everything, is capable.

My personal note:
The aya reiterates that the authority over all creation is in Allah’s hands. The fact that forgiveness/ protective cover as well as suffering of humans are tied to Allah’s will should not be understood that God makes some of us suffer haphazardly without wisdom, reason or justice. Allah’s will to make someone suffer is always tied to Allah’s justice, wisdom and mercy.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Alam: didn’t?Note: this is a beginning of a question
taAAlam: you (singular) know/ know for fact
Note: the root is Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. TaAALAM is an action that is completed in this form because it follows the question mark.

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. WA is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. ALARDI is derived from the root Hamza-R-Dhad and it means earth or land. ALARDI is the earth/ the land.
yuAAaththibu: He makes suffer

It means: The entity is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular and points to God).

wayaghfiru: and He protectively covers/ forgives
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. YAGHFIRU is derived from the root GH-F-R and it means the helmet of the soldier in the battle. This is one of the concrete uses of the word 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. YAGHFIRU is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of protectively covering or forgiving is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah).
Liman: to whomever
Yashao: He wills/ He entities

QADEERUN means: an entity that puts limits, measures and is capable to perform accordingly. This takes the meaning of all capable in this context and this includes imposing limits.

Salaam all and have a great day.

Faman taba min baAAdi thulmihi waaslaha fainna Allaha yatoobu AAalayhi inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun

The Aya says:
So whomever, repents after his transgression, including did righteousness then Allah facilitates, aids and accepts his repentance. Indeed Allah is protectively covering, merciful.

My personal note:
I translated the term YATOOBU AAaLAYHI as facilitates, aids and accepts his repentance. This is because the term covers all the meanings at once since TAWBA is in essence the ultimate return to God.

The Aya here comes after the transgression is made. It does not cover whether the Tawba will make the punishment for theft fall off. The understanding is that it does not cause the punishment to fall off if the case was brought to the person in authority. However, if the theft was discovered by people then they have the option or are actually encouraged not to bring the case to the judge/ruler if they felt that the thief has repented and was sincere in that repentance.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Faman: so who/ whomever
Taba: repented/ ultimately returned to Allah’s path
Note: the root is T-W-B and it means repentance or the ultimate return to GOD. The concrete word that is related is TABOOT and it means coffin which is what takes us to our ultimate return to GOD or repentance. TABA is an action that is completed.

Note: the root is B-Ain-D and it means further in time or space. In space it means farther in distance and in time, it means after. BaAADI here means: after.

Thulmihi: his injustice/ his transgression
Note: THULMIHI is derived from the root THA-L-M and it means darkness in the most concrete form. This word also takes the meaning of misplacing right from wrong and transgression or injustice since injustice is displacing right from wrong and a decision made in darkness. THULMI means injustice of or transgression of or displacement of right and wrong of. HI means Him and it means the person committing injustice male or female.

Waaslaha: and/including did acts of goodness/righteousness/ reconciliation/ benefit
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. ASLAHA is derived from the root Sad-L-Ha and it means becoming helpful or useful in a good direction. This means mainly: becoming one of benefit as in benefiting oneself and others. Included in this meaning is becoming fixed after having been broken. ASLAHA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making fruitfulness and in this context, reconciliation/ fixing what was broken or fissured of any good act, happened by the subject (third person singular).

It means: the action of repentance or ultimate return (to God) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah).

AAalayhi: upon him (the transgressor)
Note: YATOOBU AAaLAYHI when the AAaLA comes after the term, then the term YATOOBU adopts the meaning of accepting repentance or facilitating it. So, YATOOBU AAaLAYHI takes the meaning of facilitates/ accepts/ welcomes his repentance.
Inna: indeed
Allaha: Allah
Ghafoorun: forgiving/ provider of protective cover/ protectively covering
Note: the root is GH-F-R and it means covering for protection. The concrete word is the helmet of the fighter. GHAFOORUN is the one that covers to protect. This, in turn means protection from committing the sin and protection from the consequences of sin, which also means forgiving
Raheemun: Merciful
Note: the root is R-Ha-M and it means womb in concrete. This term is used to mean mercy and all the good that the womb provides. RAHEEM is the one with the womb-like mercy.

Salaam all and have a great day.
