Wain tutiAA akthara man fee alardi yudillooka AAan sabeeli Allahi in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wain hum illa yakhrusoona

The Aya says:
And if you (singular) voluntarily comply with the majority of the ones on earth, they lead you astray away from Allah’s path. They do not follow but unverified ideas and they do nothing but speculate.

My personal note:

One may take this Aya and says that it is a proof that Islam is against democracy in a sense. The Aya tells us that the majority of those on earth may lead us astray if we obey them. What the Aya says that if what the majority of people on earth are asking you to do something other than what Allah ordered or blessed then they are leading you astray.

There are parallels to this within the American system of governance. If a state voted in majority to establish a new law, but it was found unconstitutional by the Supreme court of the United States of America then that law will be invalid and cannot take effect despite that it came from a majority opinion.

So, the Aya sets the limits of the rules of majority and those limits are that the majority cannot make the orders and prohibitions of God obsolete.

The other message of the Aya is the issue of the place of unverified opinions or ideas or beliefs. They do have their place in our thought process as long as they are the best available to us and as long as they are based on sound thinking. However, if they contradict objective verified findings then the objective findings prevail and those thoughts will have to disappear and make way for other thoughts that are more in line with the objective findings. This is, in fact the basis of scientific thought and development.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wain: and if
tutiAA: you (singular) obey/ voluntarily comply with
Note: the root is TTa-W-Ain and it means willing compliance as a concept. This can be extended to obeying and so forth and also easy capability. TUTiAA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of voluntarily obeying or complying with the object (AKTHARA= the majority of) is happening or will be happening in a conditional statement (because preceded by the if) by the subject (second person singular).

akthara: most of / the majority of
Note: the root is K-TH-R and it means many or numerous in all the planes of thought. AKTHARA means: the bigger number of/
Man: who
Fee: in/ on
Alardi: the earth/ the land
Note: ALARDI is derived from the root Hamza-R-Dhad and it means earth or land. ALARDI is the earth/ the land.

Yudillooka: they make you lost/ they mislead you/ they misguide you/ they lead you (singular) astray
Note: YUDILLOO is derived from the root Dhad-L-L and it means getting lost as in lost the path or road in concrete terminology. Conceptually, it is used for any form of loosing the path, whether it is the path to a location or to the truth, or to be correct spiritually and so on. The imagery is very strong since loosing the path in the desert can mean near certain death. YUDILLOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the actions of making the object (KA= singular you) loosing the path, or misguiding the object is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Aaan: away from
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

in yattabiAAoona illa: they follow nothing but
Note: the IN before and ILLA after are limiting the meaning of the word in the middle to only one thing. YATTABiAAooNA is derived from the root T-B-Ain and it means following footsteps or join and follow footsteps. YATTABiAAooNA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making oneself follow footsteps or join and follow footsteps of the object (ALTHANNA= the unverified thoughts) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Alththanna: the unverified thought/ the unproven hypothesis
Note: the root is Tha-N-N and it means conclusion without certainty or conclusion without verification. Therefore, it includes theory, suspicion and all thoughts that are not conclusively proven. ALTHTHANNA is the unproven hypothesis or unverified thought.
wain hum illa: and they nothing but
yakhrusoona: speculate/ estimate
Note: the root is KH-R- Sad and it means in one concrete usage speculation of the date harvest or grape harvest of a particular area. The person who does that looks at particular features and then makes his or her estimation. Conceptually, it is used for any estimation that is not expected to be completely accurate. With that it is sometimes accepted as the next best thing when one cannot be accurate as in the estimation of the produce of the land. However, when better measures are available then resorting to speculation should be left. YAKHRUSOON is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of speculation is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). In this they are blameworthy because they left the more certain to the less certain.

Salaam all and have a great day.

The Aya says:
And the statement of your Nurturing Lord was perfected in truth and in justice/equitability. No exchanger to His statements and He is the listening, the knowing.

My personal note:
The Aya tells us that the statements of God are perfected. The Aya points that they are perfect in truth and this is pointing to the truthfullness in what the statements of Allah tell us.

The Aya also points that the statements are perfected in Justice/ equitability and that tells us that Allah is Just in what He asks of us to do and not do.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Watammat: and was perfected/ was completed
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.

TAMMAT is derived from the root T-M-M and it means to become complete or perfect or reach the best potential.

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.

Afaghayra Allahi abtaghee hakaman wahuwa allathee anzala ilaykumu alkitaba mufassalan waallatheena ataynahumu alkitaba yaAAlamoona annahu munazzalun min rabbika bialhaqqi fala takoonanna mina almumtareena

The Aya says:
Is it other than Allah do I seek as judge./ arbiter when He is the one who brought down to you (plural) the book clearly delineated?! And those to whem We have given the book know that it is sent down from your (singular pointing to Muhammad) nurturing Lord by the binding truth. Therefore do not be (O Muhammad) amongst the skeptics.

My personal note:
The term “Those to whom we have given the book” covers anyone to whom the knowledge and understanding of the book had been received and imprinted on their brains and hearts and souls. So, this covers the close companions of the prophet (pbuh) as well as anyone who fulfills this criteria.

In this passage we run across a new term MUMTAREEN that I translated as the skeptics. The word is derived from the root M-R-Y or W and it covers the flint stone that causes a little spark or the milking of the cow or camel and so on. It is conceptually used for argument and debate where one is trying to prove that the other is wrong and so on or extract something out of the other. I chose the term skeptics because they are the ones who argue to deny what is being presented.

Of course skepticism can be healthy at many times, but when one is skeptical in front of clear proofs then it is uncalled for.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Afaghayra: Is it other than?
Allahi: Allah
Abtaghee: I desire for myself/ I seek for myself
Note: the root is B-GHain-Y or B-ghain-w and it means the young unripe fruit and the young animal. This is some of the concrete meaning.

ABTAGHEE is a action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of desiring and getting the object (HAKAMAN= judge/ ruler/ arbitrator) for oneself is happening or will be happening by the subject (first person singular).

Hakaman: judge/ ruler/ arbitrator/ steerer
Note: the root Ha-K-M and it means the steer that steers the animal. This word is used for ruling and judging as well as other meanings that contain steering as part of the concept. HAKAM means judge/ ruler/ arbitrator/ steerer.

Wahuwa: and He/ /while He
Allathee: the one who
Anzala: brought down/ sent down
Note: ANZALA is derived from the root 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. ANZALNA is an action that is completed.

Walitasgha ilayhi afidatu allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati waliyardawhu waliyaqtarifoo ma hum muqtarifoona

The Aya says:
And in order that hearts of those who do not have safety in the next life be tempted towards it (the appealing misleading talk) and in order that they lovingly accept it and in order that they earn what they earn.

My personal note:
There are two words here that appear for the first time in this blog. They are TASGHA derived from the root SAD-Ghain-Wor Y which means the tilting in one direction or another and is used for being tempted in one direction or another. In this context, it is tempted by the flowery or pretty appealing but at the same time misleading talk.

The other word is YAQTARIFOO and it is derived from the root Qaf-R-F and it means the outer cover of something which sheds and can be separated such as the bark of the tree or the skin of the seed or the outer skin that sheds and so on. YAQTARIFOO is more in the understanding of adding more layer to themselves and so it is understood conceptually as earning and putting on a new additional layer.

As if the Aya is mentioning three stages that lead one to another or that can co-exist with each other. They are being first tempted by the beauty of the talk that is misleading, then accept it lovingly and not skeptically and then act upon what it dictates. In sense it is pointing to the insidiousness of this process and brings our attention to that insidiousness so we do not fall into it.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Walitasgha: and in order that they get attracted/ and in order that they tilt/ and in order that they follow/ and to be tempted
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. LI means to or in order to. TASGHA is derived from the root Sad- Ghain-W or SAD-Ghain-Y and it means in concrete when the camel tilts the neck towards the speaker and so on. Conceptually, it is then used for tilting in one direction as opposed to another as well as for attraction and following. TASGHA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means the action of getting attracted or following or tilting is happening or will be happening by the subject (AFIDATU= hearts of/ energies of)

la yuminoona: do not make themselves safe/ trust
Note: LA is for negation of the coming action. YUMINOONA is derived from the root Hamza-M-N and it means safety. Conceptually, it can also be extended to trust as well, because we feel safe in the entity we trust. YUMINOONA 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 plural).

Bialakhirati: in the later life
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. ALAKHIRATI is derived from the root Hamza-KH-R and it means remaining. ALAKHIRATI means the remaining or the later. This, in turn means the later life or the life after death.
Waliyardawhu: and in order that they lovingly accept/ they approve
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. LI means to or in order to. YARDAWHU is derived from the root R-Dhad-Y and it means loving acceptance, or agreeing and loving at the same time or mainly approval since approval has the meaning of acceptance in a deeper sense. YARDAWHU is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of loving acceptance or approval of the object (HU= the misleading talk) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Waliyaqtarifoo: and in order that they earn/ add to their burdens or ownership
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.

YAQTARIFOO is derived from the root Qaf-R-F and it means the outer layer of an entity. QIRFA is the name for cinnamon and it is the bark of the tree. The word is used for any bark of any tree as well as the outer cover of the seeds and the outer cover of our skins, including the layer of dirt or skin that can be exfoliated with the loofah. IQTIRAF is a term used for taking and adding another layer and so on linguistically, and so conceptually it is used for earning and adding to oneselves’ burden. YAQTARIFOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of earning or adding to ownership is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural)
Ma: what

Wakathalika jaAAalna likulli nabiyyin AAaduwwan shayateena alinsi waaljinni yoohee baAAduhum ila baAAdin zukhrufa alqawli ghurooran walaw shaa rabbuka ma faAAaloohu fatharhum wama yaftaroona

The Aya says:

And as such we made for every prophet enemies, devils of humans and Jinn. Some of them inspire to some appealing talk misleadingly. And if Allah willed they would not have done it, therefore leave them with what they concoct.

My personal note:

I translated the term SHAYATEEN as devils and in that I am aiming that it covers every individual human or otherwise who is distant from Allah and works on distancing others from Allah as well.

The term ZUKHRUF Al QAWL is translated as beautified talk and this can cover a wide variety of forms of communicating that aim to make the particular talk more appealing to those who hear it. In a sense one gets the feeling that playing with your talk to make it more appealing is something that is looked at relatively skeptically. It becomes especially condemned when the talk is beautified with the aim to mislead people by playing with their emotions and other senses.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wakathalika: and as such

Shayateena: Satans of/ the ones who displaced from God’s mercy and work on displacing others/ devils of.

SHSHAYATEEN are the ones who are far or away (from God’s mercy) and who work at pulling others away through his long “rope”. It is the word used from Satans or devils or anyone who is distant from Allah.

Walaw annana nazzalna ilayhimu almalaikata wakallamahumu almawta wahasharna AAalayhim kulla shayin qubulan ma kanoo liyuminoo illa an yashaa Allahu walakinna aktharahum yajhaloona

The Aya says:
And if We brought down to them the angels and the dead talked to them and we gathered everything in front of them, they were not to make themselves safe unless Allah wills it. However, the majority of them lack knowledge.

My personal note:

The Aya continues the theme from Aya 109 when the non believers were asking for a sign to believe. This Aya mentions all sorts of evidences that are supposed to make people safe and trusting in Allah. However, the Aya also tells that some of them will not believe despite all of that.

The Aya ties the safety and trust in Allah with His will. This means that if Allah did not will for a person to become safe in Allah then this person will not. It is important however to remember that the Will of Allah is not haphazard in this regard. Allah wills belief to those who deserve it and they are the ones who look at his signs with consciousness and humility as opposed to those who look at them while wanting to be blind and deaf and stubborn in their arrogance. It is then our obligation as humans to always be conscious and humble in front of the signs that come from Allah, or otherwise, we will end up in rejection and the bad consequences of such act. May Allah always guide us to Taqwa, consciousness and deep vision and protect us from ignorance.

Wanuqallibu afidatahum waabsarahum kama lam yuminoo bihi awwala marratin wanatharuhum fee tughyanihim yaAAmahoona

The Aya says:
And We flip over back and forth their hearts/their energies and their visions/ insights just as they did not make themselves safe in him (Allah/ the message) the first time, and We leave them drowned in their bad actions wondering blindly.

My personal note:

I put alternative translations for AFIDA and also ABSAR. This is because the FUAD covers the heart but more importantly, it represents the place that is the source for energy and what moves us. Same thing for ABSAR it represents vision but more importantly insight.

The Aya contains a very important message and a warning for people and that is important to understand and contemplate. The message is that if one does not make himself or herself safe when the evidences came to him or her, then he or she will put himself in a state of turmoil and lack of vision and insights in terms of their spiritual health.

This does not mean that they are completely hopeless for that can change the moment they decide to respond to the message and pay heed to it, but it will need sincere hard honest work and pursuit on their part for Allah to start helping them on the way of His path.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wanuqallibu: and We flip over back and forth
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after.

Waaqsamoo biAllahi jahda aymanihim lain jaathum ayatun layuminunna biha qul innama alayatu AAinda Allahi wama yushAAirukum annaha itha jaat la yuminoona

The Aya says:

And they swore by Allah, their strong oaths, that if a sign came to them, then they will indeed make themselves safe in her. Say (O Muhammad): The signs are only with Allah, And what makes you (plural)feel that if and when the signs came, they will not make themselves safe.

My personal note:

The Aya says that bringing a sign from Allah is not a guarantee that people will accept the message and make themselves safe in it. There will always be people who reject it.

The books of tafsir narrate a story that the unbelievers of the people of Mecca asked the prophet (pbuh) to bring them a sign like that of Jesus or Moses upon both be peace. The believers urged the prophet to do the same so as to prove to them his message. Then the angel Gabriel came and promised that if the prophet (pbuh) asked for a sign then it will come, but if the people of Mecca rejected it, then they will certainly be punished. However, Gabriel said that if a sign did not come to them, then they will be left with the possibility of forgiveness as they live life and possibly accept the message a good bit later. The prophet (pbuh) chose the latter for his knowledge of the people of Moses and Jesus who rejected them despite the very clear signs that came with them.

Wala tasubboo allatheena yadAAoona min dooni Allahi fayasubboo Allaha AAadwan bighayri AAilmin kathalika zayyanna likulli ommatin AAamalahum thumma ila rabbihim marjiAAuhum fayunabbiohum bima kanoo yaAAmaloona

The Aya says:
And do not curse (addressing a plural) those who they call short of Allah, so as not they curse Allah in aggression without knowledge. As such We ornamented to each nation their work, then towards their nurturing Lord is their return, so He informs them of what they used to do.

My personal note:

This Aya has a very important point of advice and teaching and that a Muslim should not curse any object of worship by any entity. It also reminds us that we all will return to our Nurturing Lord when He informs us of our work and the product of our works.

The term We ornamented suggests that the work was covered by something that may make it more attractive than what it is. The suggestion here would be that if a group of people adopted a wrong action and abandoned some important teachings of Allah that they are aware of or should be aware of, then they risk that their ugly actions become beautified and therefore getting into deeper forms of being away from the path of guidance.

In this is an important reminder that we should always keep Allah in our cosciousness as we act and to be careful not to abandon some important actions and throughts and behaviours.

Walaw shaa Allahu ma ashrakoo wama jaAAalnaka AAalayhim hafeethan wama anta AAalayhim biwakeelin

The Aya says:
And if Allah willed, they would not have become polytheists. And We did not appoint you (O Muhammad) upon them as safe keeper, nor are you upon them a guarantor.

My personal note:

This Aya brings about some area that can be misunderstood. The term “If Allah Willed then would not have become polytheists” can be understood in one of two ways and only one of them is correct:

1- That Allah made them become polytheists. This is the wrong understanding.
2- That Allah left it ultimately up to them whether they become polytheists or monotheists.

The reason that the first understanding is considered wrong is because there are many passages that emphasize that Allah did not make them polytheists nor act unjustly towards them. Therefore the second understanding is the correct one. There are some statements in the Qur’an that talk about Allah misguiding some people. Those statements are generally in relation to people that Allah misguides because they have originally neglected or abandoned some of His commandments or reminders. Therefore the responsibility rests with them and they can get out of it the moment they start paying attention to those reminders which Allah put in their paths every now and then for them to pay attention to.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Walaw: and if
Shaa: He willed/ He entitied
Note: the root is Sh-Y-Hamza and it means entity. SHAA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means that the action of entitying happened by the subject (third person singular). Therefore it means: He entitied and in this context, it takes the meaning He willed.
Allahu: Allah/God
Note: Allah is the subject of the action that was mentioned earlier SHAA.

ma ashrakoo: they would not have made partners/ they would not have become polytheists
Note: the MA preceding the action is a response to the conditional if that came before. It is a response in negation. ASHRAKOO is derived from the root SH-R-K and it means partner or partnership and with this partnership is a measure of equality or being on par. ASHRAKOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making partner to an undeclared object (pointing to God in this context) happening by the subject (third person plural).

Wama: and not
jaAAalnaka: We made you (singular)/ We appointed you
Note: JaAAaLNA is derived from the root J-Ain-L and it means making, forming or transforming something that already exists. Conceptually, it takes the meaning of transformation more often than formation. JaAAaLNA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of transforming or making the object (KA= singular you) by the subject (first person plural). In this context it takes the form of appointing and job description.

Aaalayhim: upon them
hafeethan: safe keeper
Note: the root is Ha-F-THa and it means preservation and protection, and within that concept, also maintenance and upkeep. In one word, the concept of safe keeping comes to mind. This concept of safe keeping will then depend on the context to understand it’s specific meaning in the sentence. HAFEETH is the safe keeper. In this context, it can mean that they are the ones who are responsible for their own safe keep especially after the message reached them.

wama anta: and you (singular) are not
Aaalayhim: upon them
Biwakeelin: a guarantor/ responsible
Note: Bi in this context is mainly to emphasize what comes next. WAKEEL is derived from the root W-K-L and it means entrusting a matter to another, or trusting the guarantee or guardianship or responsibility of another. WAKEEL is the person who is guardian or guarantor.

IttabiAA ma oohiya ilayka min rabbika la ilaha illa huwa waaAArid AAani almushrikeena

The Aya says:
Join and follow (O Muhammad) what was inspired to you from your nurturing Lord. There is no one worthy of worship but He, and move away from the polytheists.

My personal note:

The term to avoid or move away from the polytheists does should not be understood as not engage them in conveying the message. The Qur’an is clear in ordering the prophet (pbuh) to deliver the message and to engage in a good polite manner. It does however convey moving away from their practices. It may also convey not falling into a protracted back and forth debate that seems to lead nowhere.

Translation of the transliterated words:
IttabiAA: make yourself join and follow
Note: ITTABiAA is derived from the root T-B-Ain and it means following footsteps or join and follow footsteps. ITTABiAA a is an order addressed to a singular. It means join and follow.

Ma: what
Oohiya: was inspired/ was communicated subtly
Note: OOHIYA is derived from the root W-Ha-Y and it means communication that is of subtle nature or in a non verbal or other clear way.

Ilayka: to you (singular)/ towards you
Min: from
rabbika: your 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. RABBI is nurturing Lord of. KA means singular you.

la ilaha: No God/ no entity worthy of worship
Note: LA is for negation of what comes next. ILAHA is derived from the root Hamza-L-H and it means God or one who is worthy of worship. ILAHA means God or entity worthy of worship.

Illa: if not/ except
Huwa: He
waaAArid: and avoid/ and move away/ leave away

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. aAARID i s derived from the root Ain-R-Dhad and it means width. As a conceptual meaning it has many applications such as: standing in the way or closing the road, but it also means presenting and make something seen, because things are seen better if one sees their width. aAARID is an order or a request addressing an individual. It means: make width. This word will then combine with the next to become meaningful. When followed by AAan then the meaning becomes, move away/ avoid/ leave alone.

Aaani: from/ away from
Almushrikeena: the ones who make partners (To Allah)/ the polytheists
Note: the root SH-R-K and it means partner or partnership and with this partnership is a measure of equality or being on par. ALMUSHRIKEENA are the ones who make partners to God in worship or in action and that includes the polytheists.

Wakathalika nusarrifu alayati waliyaqooloo darasta walinubayyinahu liqawmin yaAAlamoona

The Aya says:
And as such We move/ manage the signs in order that they say you (Muhammade) studied, and in order that we make him (the message/ Qur’an) clear to people who know.

My personal note:

The term Nusarrif is translated here as moving and managing. The term has the meaning of moving something from one place to another and so on. It aslo can carry the meaning of changing the nature of the entity from one to another.

In this context probably both apply since Allah brings us the signs for us to observe and at the same time the changing nature of the entities that we see everyday also falls under the term NUSARRIF as pointed earlier in the sura where the day and night are being changed and where the dead comes out of the living and the living comes out of the dead and so on.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wakathalika: and as such
Nusarrifu: We manage/ We move about
Note: the root is Sad-R-F and it means: the moving or managing of an entity. This can include moving it back to where it came from or moving it somewhere else. It also includes changing the nature of the entity from one thing to another as when this word is used for exchanging currency and so on. NUSARRIF is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making the object (AlAYATI= the signs) managed or moved about is happening or will be happening by the subject (first person plural).

alayati: the signs
Note: AYAT is derived from the root Hamza-Y-H and it means sign. ALAYATI means the signs.
Waliyaqooloo: and in order that they say
Note: WALI means and in order to or in order that. YAQOOLOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying or communicating in any way possible whether in words or otherwise. YAQOOLOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person plural). This, in turn means: they say or they happen to say or communicate.

Darasta: you (singular) studied
Note: the root is D-R-S and it means stepping over an entity back and forth. This is the concrete meaning and it is used in a conceptual manner in many ways. When it is applied to going over a book back and forth as in this example, then it takes the meaning of studying it deeply. DARASTA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of studying happened by the subject (secodn person singular).

Walinubayyinahu: and in order that We make it clear/ we clarify it
Note: WALI means and in order to. NUBAYYINA is derived the root 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. NUBAYYINA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of making clear or clarify the object (HU= him pointing to the signs and the message) is happening by the subject (first person plural).
Liqawmin: to people/ for
Note: LI means to. QAWMIN is derived from the root Qaf-Y-M and it means standing or standing upright. QAWMIN are the people that stand together and that makes the group or people or nation, basically, any group of people that stand together or form a group.

yaAAlamoona: they know/ happen to know
Note: YaAALAMOONA is derived from the root Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. YaAALAMOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of knowing the object (not mentioned) for fact is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). LIQAWMIN YaAALAMOONA has the meaning of people who know, or people who search for facts.

Qad jaakum basairu min rabbikum faman absara falinafsihi waman AAamiya faAAalayha wama ana AAalaykum bihafeethin

The Aya says:

Indeed, clear insights came to you from your nurturing Lord. So, whoever makes himself see then for him and whoever was blind then upon him, and I (Muhammad) am not upon you (plural) of safe keeper.

My personal note:
The Aya lets us know that the proofs that came to us carry lots of insight for us to see and sense. The statement of “Whoever makes himself see, then for him and whoever was blind then upon him” suggests that we have the responsibility of openning our eyes or closing them and that act is totally voluntary and therefore we carry it’s responsibility.

Translation of the transliterated words:


Qad: indeed
Jaakum: came to you (plural)
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. JAA 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 singular pointing to RSOOLUNA=our messenger /envoy) to the object (KUM=plural you)

Basairu: seen evidences/ evidences/ insights
Note: BASAIR is derived from the root B-Sad-R and it is the sense of the eye. It also has the meaning of seeing deeply. Seeing deeply means the concrete, but it can be applied to the deep vision of the brain, the insight. BASAIR are visions and it points to evidences that one can see.

Min: from/ of
rabbikum: your 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. RABBI is nurturing Lord of. KUM means plural you.

Note: the root is B-Sad-R and it is the sense of the eye. It also has the meaning of seeing deeply. Seeing deeply means the concrete, but it can be applied to the deep vision of the brain, the insight. ABSARA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of seeing or making oneself see happened by the subject (first person singular).

Falinafsihi: Then for himself
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. LI means to or for. NAFSIHI is derived from the root N-F-S and it means to breath. This is the concept and then it can extend to self or anything that breathes. NAFSI means self of. HI means him.
Waman: and whoever
Aaamiya: became/ was blind
Note: the root is Ain-M-Y and it means blindness. AAaMIYA is an action that is completed. It means the action of being or becoming blind happened by the subject (third person singular).

wama: and not
ana: I (Muhammad)
Aaalaykum: upon you (plural)
Bihafeethin: safe keeper
Note: the root is Ha-F-THa and it means preservation and protection, and within that concept, also maintenance and upkeep. In one word, the concept of safe keeping comes to mind. This concept of safe keeping will then depend on the context to understand it’s specific meaning in the sentence. HAFEETH is the safe keeper. In this context, it can mean that they are the ones who are responsible for their own safe keep especially after the message reached them.

La tudrikuhu alabsaru wahuwa yudriku alabsara wahuwa allateefu alkhabeeru

The Aya says:

The visions do not/ cannot encompass Him while He encompasses the visions andHe is the tenderly caring, the well informed.

My personal note:
The statement of visions do not encompass Him suggests that if someone is able to see Allah then that vision will be limited and therefore cannot encompass Him with their vision. This applies to the individual and to the whole of creation even if it tried to pool their visions it will still not be able to encompass Allah. This does not necessarily mean that seeing Allah is negated. it just means that the vision is limited by the limitations set upon our visions.

The term LATEEF is a term that covers tenderness in caring. It encompasses helping the entity reach it’s goals with tenderness and care and love.

Translation of the transliterated words:
La tudrikuhu: do not reach Him/ will not encompass Him/ Will not reach His extent

Note: LA is for negation of the action that is coming next. TUDRIKUHU is derived from the root D-R-K and it means reaching. This is the conceptual meaning and it covers reaching time and place and also ideas or thoughts according to the context. TUDRIKUHU is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of reaching or encompassing the object (HU=Him and pointing to Allah) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). Because it was preceded by the LA then this action is negated.
Alabsaru: the visions
Note: ALABSARU is derived from the root B-Sad-R and it is the sense of the eye. It also has the meaning of seeing deeply. Seeing deeply means the concrete, but it can be applied to the deep vision of the brain, the insight. ALABSARU means the visions.

It means: the action of reaching or encompassing the object (ALABSARA= the visions) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular).

alabsara: the visions
Note: ALABSARA is derived from the root B-Sad-R and it is the sense of the eye. It also has the meaning of seeing deeply. Seeing deeply means the concrete, but it can be applied to the deep vision of the brain, the insight. ALABSARA means the visions.
Wahuwa: and He
Allateefu: the caring/ the tender in caring

Thalikumu Allahu rabbukum la ilaha illa huwa khaliqu kulli shayin faoAAbudoohu wahuwa AAala kulli shayin wakeelun

The Aya says:
This is Allah, your (plural) nurturing Lord. There is no entity worthy of worship but He, creator of everything, then humble and submit yourselves to Him, and He is guarantor upon everything.

My personal note:

In this blog I explanded some new information on the terms that are derived from the root Ain-B-D. This term is used for slave and servant. However, it is related to the entity becoming submissive and humble in front of another. In a sense, that is it’s relationship to slavery. In becoming a slave of Allah, one is submitting and humbling himself or herself voluntarily and this does not happen unless one is in awe, admiration, love hope and fear altogether. If some of those elements are missing, then the worship is a work in progress that needs more work on it.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Thalikumu: that is for you (plural)
Allahu: Allah
rabbukum: your nurturing Lord
Note: RABBUKUM 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. RABBU is nurturing Lord of. KUM means plural you.

la ilaha: No Gods/ no entity worthy of worship
Note: LA is for negation of what comes next. ILAHA is derived from the root Hamza-L-H and it means God or one who is worthy of worship. ILAHA means God or entity worthy of worship.

Illa: if not/ except
Huwa: He
Khaliqu: creator of/ shaper of
Note: KHALIQU is derived from the root KH-L-Qaf and it means creating and creation. The word has many little other meanings that revolve around that theme, in concrete, it means the smoothened rock that was shaped that way, so it has the cutting and shaping and making things as part of the meaning as well as creating out of nothing as well. KHALIQU means creator or shaper of.
kulli : every/ each
Note: KULLI is derived from the root K-L-L and it means the parts put together. This is the concrete and it means all or every or each. It can also be extended conceptually to mean the parts surrounding an entity. KULLI means every, or each.

Shayin: entity/ thing
Note: the root is SH-Y-Hamza and it means entity. SHAYIN means entity. It is taken here to mean a thing or entity
faoAAbudoohu: therefore worship him/ therefore submit and humble yourselves to Him
Note: FA means then or therefore or so. oAABUDOOHU is derived from the root Ain-B-D and it means slave or servant. One concrete use of the term is the word Road that is MUAAaBBAD and is used for the road that had been made easy to use and smooth for the people to walk on without hindrance. Conceptually, the term is then used for humbleness and submission. It is used for slave and servant because of their humbleness and submission in relation to the master and that is the essence of worship with the understanding that one humbles himself and submits when in awe of the greatness of the entity and when in love with the entity and Allah is deserving of both. oAABUDOOHU is an order addressing a plural. It means worship or submit and humble yourselves to Him.
Wahuwa: and He
AAala: upon/ on
Kulli: every/ each
Note: KULLI is derived from the root K-L-L and it means the parts put together. This is the concrete and it means all or every or each. It can also be extended conceptually to mean the parts surrounding an entity. KULLI means every, or each.

BadeeAAu alssamawati waalardi anna yakoonu lahu waladun walam takun lahu sahibatun wakhalaqa kulla shayin wahuwa bikulli shayin Aaaleemun

The Aya says:
Innovator of the heavens and the earth. How come there be for him children?! and He did not have a female companion?! And He created everything and He is, in everything, knowing.

My personal note:
The term BADeeAAu suggests innovation and initiation and Allah is both of those for the heavens and the earth.

The Aya says that there is no reason nor possibility for Allah to have Children when He created everything. In a sense it says that the relationship between everything that exists and God is the relationship between a creation and the creator, therefore no one of the creation is any special except in Taqwa (acting in consciousness of Allah).

The Aya also mentions that Allah does not have a female companion. This means that Allah is unique and in no need for a companion to complete Him. The Aya also gives us a rule that Allah puts in his creation. This rule says that Children or offspring come from the unity between a conceptual male and a conceptual female and Allah is exalted above this.

Translation of the transliterated words:
BadeeAAu: Innovator and initiator
Note: the root is B-D-Ain and it means to innovate and initiate something or an idea. BADeeAAu is the entity that innovates and initiates the thing
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. 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.
Anna: how come? How possible that?
Yakoonu: there is/ there is or will be
Note: YAKOONU is derived from the root K-W-N and it means being. YAKOONU is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means: it will be or it becomes.

Lahu: belongs to Him
Waladun: offspring
Note: WALADUN is derived from the root W-L-D and it means giving birth or conceiving. WALADAN is the product of giving birth.

Walam takun: while did not happen to be/ and it was not
Note: WALAM is for negating the next action. TAKUN is derived from the root K-W-N and it means being. KUNTU is an action that is being completed or will be completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular). This whole sentence then means: it did not happen to be/ it was not. Although the action is in the present tense, but this is a form of past tense because it was preceded by the LAM form of negation.
Lahu: for Him/ belong to Him
Sahibatun: female companion
Note: The root is Sad-Ha-B and it means companion or companionship. SAHIBATUN is a female companion.

wakhalaqa: while He created them/ While He shaped them
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. KHALAQA is derived from the root KH-L-Qaf and it means creating and creation. The word has many little other meanings that revolve around that theme, in concrete, it means the smoothened rock that was shaped that way, so it has the cutting and shaping and making things as part of the meaning as well as creating out of nothing as well. KHALAQA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of creating or shaping the object (KULLA= every) happened by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah).
kulla : every/ each
Note: KULLA is derived from the root K-L-L and it means the parts put together. This is the concrete and it means all or every or each. It can also be extended conceptually to mean the parts surrounding an entity. KULLA means every, or each.
Shayin: entity/ thing
Note: the root is SH-Y-Hamza and it means entity. SHAYIN means entity. It is taken here to mean a thing or entity

Wahuwa: and HE (Allah)
bikulli : in every/ each
Note: Bi suggests that what comes after it is either a tool of the action or an object of the action or any combination. If bi serves as an object of the action that it serves as an emphasis of the action. In english BI can take the meaning of in or by in some sense or another. KULLI is derived from the root K-L-L and it means the parts put together. This is the concrete and it means all or every or each. It can also be extended conceptually to mean the parts surrounding an entity. KULLI means every, or each.

Shayin: entity/ thing
Note: the root is SH-Y-Hamza and it means entity. SHAYIN means entity. It is taken here to mean a thing or entity

AAaleemun knowledgeable/ knowing
Note: the root is Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. ALAAaLEEM is the one that is very knowledgeable
