Salaam all,


Faman athlamu mimmani iftara AAala Allahi kathiban aw kaththaba biayatihi olaika yanaluhum naseebuhum mina alkitabi hatta itha jaathum rusuluna yatawaffawnahum qaloo ayna ma kuntum tadAAoona min dooni Allahi qaloo dalloo AAanna washahidoo AAala anfusihim annahum kanoo kafireena

The Aya says:
So who is more unjust than one who concocted untruth upon Allah or declared His signs untrue?!! Those, they will get their share of the book, until when our messengers come to them to take them, they (the messengers) would say: “Where is what you called upon short of Allah”. They would respond: “They are gone from us” and they would testify upon themselves that they were rejectors.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about a very important human responsibility of not make something up and attribute it to Allah, but also not reject what truly came from Allah. It is a call for honesty with oneself and others and objectivity.

The term “They get their share of the book” carries with it that they will get what had be written for them in this life related to provisions and good times and bad times and this will end at the time when the angels of death come to take them.

The last part of the Aya reminds us that at the moment of death, the only relationship that counts is the one that one makes with God. This does not mean that humans should not have other relationships, but that other relationships count if they came with God as a focus point.

I used the term they would respond and so on. This is because in Arabic the verb forms are only in past and present tense, but the context would determine how to understand the verb. In those situations here, the verb form is Qaloo (past tense) but it actually pointing to what the ones who died had already said but also to what the ones in the present and future would say.


Translation of the transliterated words:
Faman : So who?
Athlamu: more unjust
Note: the root is 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. ATHLAMU means, in this context, more unjust.

JAAT 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 feminine pointing to RUSULUNA= our messengers) to the object (HUM=them). Although It is in the past tense, however because it comes after the timed conditional ITHA it can carry past and present and future tense.

Rusuluna: our messengers/ envoys
Note: RUSULUNA is derived from the root 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. RUSULU means messengers of and is the plural of Rasul who is the one that is sent and is used to mean the messenger because he was sent by the sender to the receiver. NA means us.
Yatawaffawnahum: take you them
Note: the root is W-F-Y and it means meeting dues. This then takes different meanings according to the plane of thought of the sentence.

YATAWAFFAWNAHUM is an action that is being completed or will be completed.

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. DALLOO is an action that is completed. It means: the actions of loosing the path, or becoming misguided or becoming gone (in this context) happened by the subject (third person).
Aaanna: from us/ away from us

SHAHIDOO is derived from the root SH-H-D and it means witnessing of truth and it also denotes that the witness knows very well what he or she is witnessing about. The concrete meaning is the honey mixed with wax therefore the wax is the witness of the truth that the honey is the honey.

Waallatheena kaththaboo biayatina waistakbaroo AAanha olaika ashabu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona

The Aya says:
And the ones who declared our signs untrue and acted arrogantly about them, those are the people of the fire. In it they are staying.

My personal note:
The WAW that connected Taqwa with Islah in the previous aya connected Taktheeb which I translated as declaring untrue the signs of Allah with the arrogance towards those signs.

This means that declaring the signs untrue and the arrogance regarding them are linked by either being always associated with each other or by being included in each other. In a sense this a deep message to our psyche whenever we reject the message from God for not good reason but our ego or other factors that hold us back.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waallatheena: and those who/ and as for those who
Kaththaboo: they declared untrue/ they rejected
Note: KATHTHABOO is derived from the root K-TH-B and it means a untrue. Conceptually, it can be extended at times to mean a lie, although the core of the meaning is untruth, whether it is a lie or not, conscious or not. KATHTHABOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making an object (Bialhaqqi= in the binding truth/right) untrue happened by the subject (third person plural). In this context, “making the binding truth untrue” means actually declaring it untrue or denying truthfulness or strongly rejecting it .
biayatina: in Our signs
Note: Bi denotes that what comes after is a tool and/or an object of an action that was mentioned. If it is an object of the action then it makes it stronger. AYAT is derived from the root Hamza-Y-H and it means sign. AYATI means signs of. NA means Us or our.

waistakbaroo : and sought to be bigger/ bigger/ including acted arrogantly
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. ISTAKBAROO is derived from the root K-B-R and it means big in quality or quantity or any other feature that denotes bigness. ISTAKBAROO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of seeking to make one-self bigger happened (third person plural). Here, the bigger is in relation to being bigger than making one-self slave to Allah and that is the definition of arrogance.
Aaanha: about them (the signs)/ away from them
Olaika: those
ashabu : companions of/people of
Note: The root is Sad-Ha-B and it means companion or companionship. ASHABU are companions of.

alnnari: the fire/ Hell

Ya banee adama imma yatiyannakum rusulun minkum yaqussoona Aaalaykum ayatee famani ittaqa waaslaha fala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona

The Aya says:
O children of Adam if indeed comes to you envoys/ messengers from amongst you narrating to you My signs, then whoever acts consciously (of Allah) including beneficently, then there is no fear upon them nor will they be sad.

My personal note:
The WAW that connects the two words ITTAQA which I translated as “acting consciously of Allah” and ASLAHA which I translated as “acting beneficently” is often translated as “AND”. However this WAW is more complex. It connects two words or two statements. It is understood as and often times and that is correct but in this context it connotes one of two ideas that probably leads to the same understanding:

1- One of the two concepts is included in the other. If so, then one can say that Taqwa (acting consciously of Allah) encompasses Islah (acting beneficently). And this understanding is correct since Taqwa is a very wide concept. If one understands the Aya this way then ISLAH is mentioned specifically to point it’s importance and significance within the other things that are included within Taqwa.
2- If one insists that the two concepts are completely unrelated and cannot be included one within the other then the other understanding becomes that although the two are different, they have to occurr concomittently always. If the understanding is this, then one cannot claim that he or she is a muttaqi (one who acts cosciously of Allah) unless he or she is also doing Islah (acting beneficently). And it is also correct in reverse as in one cannot claim that acting beneficently does not count unless it is associated with Taqwa.

One other thing to bring about is acting beneficently does encompass acting beneficently to oneself and to others. It also encompasses correcting what is wrong and reconciling animosity and all other works of improvement and fixing what is broken, either with deeds or words or in the heart.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya: O
Banee: sons of/ children of
Note: the root is B-N-Y and it means building and it also mean son or child. The relationship between the two meanings is that the son is the product of building the family. Here, it is used to mean child or son. BANEE: means sone of or children of
Adama: Adam
Imma: if
Yatiyannakum: comes to you (plural and with emphasis)
Note: the root is Hamza-T-Y and it means in concrete the water that comes from the rain of another land. In concrete it means the coming of something or someone with many of it’s implications. YATIYANNA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of coming is happening or will be happening by the subject (RUSULUN= messengers/ envoys) with emphasis to the object (KUM= plural you).

rusulun: messengers/ envoys
Note: RUSULUN is derived from the root 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. RUSULIN means messengers of and is the plural of Rasul who is the one that is sent and is used to mean the messenger because he was sent by the sender to the receiver.
Minkum: from amongst you (plural)/ from you

Waaslaha: and/including did acts of goodness/ reconciliation/ benefit/ acting beneficently
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.

Walikulli ommatin ajalun faitha jaa ajaluhum la yastakhiroona saAAatan walayastaqdimoona

The Aya says:
And to every nation an ending. So when their ending comes, they will not be able to delay an hour nor advance.

My personal note:
The term UMMA was translated as nation. It seems to come in the Qur’an when talking about a group of people with shared beliefs and direction. This is related to the root word where it comes from where UMM means source or mother and AMM means destination. So, they are on the same path in a sense. A nation comes in the Qur’an as one person as in the case of Ibrahim when he was all alone and it can be a multitude of thousands or millions.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Walikulli: and to each
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 for. 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.

Ommatin: nation
Note: OMMA is derived from the root Hamza-M-M and it means mother or sources/origin if said as UMM and destination if said as AMM. OMMA means in this context nation and that is because it is a group that have the same origin and is moving to the same destination.
ajalun: end of time/ time span/ ending
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. AJALUN means end of time or time span of an entity.
Faitha: so when/ so if and when
Jaa: came/ comes
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 (AJALUHUM= their end of time). Because it was preceded with the ITHA= when, it actually translates in the present tense as FAITHA JAA= so when comes.

ajaluhum: their end of time/ time span
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. AJALU means end of time of or time span of. HUM means them.
la yastakhiroona: they will not be able delay/ they will not be able remain

note: The root is S-W-Ain and it means a portion of the day or night. It is used for the hour but it can be used for any portion of time. SaAAaTAN means an hour or a period of time.

Wala yastaqdimoona: nor will they be able to advance
Note: WALA come in this context with the meaning of nor. YASTAQDIMOONA is derived from the root Qaf-D-M and it means foot or the step forward. This is used conceptually in many occasions to point to moving forward or forwarding something and so on. YASTAQDIMOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of seeking and being able to forward or advance is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). The meaning within this context takes the meaning of : Nor will they be able to advance.

Salaam all,


Qul innama harrama rabbiya alfawahisha ma thahara minha wama batana waalithma waalbaghya bighayri alhaqqi waan tushrikoo biAllahi ma lam yunazzil bihi sultanan waan taqooloo AAala Allahi ma la taAAlamoona

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad): My nurturing Lord did not forbid except the indecency what is apparent amongst them and what is hidden and the sin and the aggression without right, and that you make partners to Allah what He did not send evidence/license/ proof of, and that you claim upon Allah in what you have no knowledge of.

My personal note:

The Aya brings about the main categories of entities that are forbidden. FAWAHISH is a term that covers any act that is outside the bounds of decency as generally agreed by societies but also indicated in the books of Allah. One can say that indecencies can cover many forms of sin that are related to general behaviour including in appropriate sexual behavior. The second one is ITHM and it covers any act that is considered injustice to oneself and to God and to others. This act can cover any form of disobeying God whether by not doing what He ordered or doing what He prohibited and the thid sin is aggression without a right. This rules the relationship with other human beings. Aggression without a right is limiting in that it also means that even if you have a “right”, it is limited to the extent of the crime committed by the other and when or if you overstep that limit then you have committed an “aggression without right”.

So, the first three categories judge our general behaviours as human beings. The last two are even more important because they relate to our relationship with God. The first one is that we should be monotheists in our belief and in our conduct. The second is to know the limit of what we can talk about or not talk about related to God. It basically prohibits us from talking about God without knowledge in any form.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Qul: say
Note: QUL is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QUL is an order addressed to a singular. It means: Say.
innama Harrama: He did nmot make forbidden except/ forbidden to violate
Note: INNAMA is to designate that only what follows the action is included and everything else is excluded. HARRAMA the root is Ha-R-M and it means “forbidding and forbidden to violate”. HARRAMA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (MAN= who) forbidden happened by the subject (third person singular).
rabbiya: my nurturing lord

Alfawahisha: abominations/ the ugly words or deeds/ the indecencies
Note: the root is F-Ha-SH and it means: the ugly word or deed or any word or deed that has exceeded the border of decency and appropriateness. The term is often used related to sexual acts, but it is not limited to it. FAWAHISHA are the ugly words or deeds including sexually or nudity/indecent exposure.

Thahara: became apparent/ was apparent
Note: the root is THa-H-R and it means Back (as opposed to stomach) in the concrete word.

Waalithma: and the injustice/ and the sin/ and what is wrong
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. ALITHMA is derived from the root Hamza-TH-M and it means breaking of rule or rules of justice, morality and ethics. This means error or fault with a tinge of knowing it. ALITHM is the breaking of the rule of justice and morality while aware of it. It fits closely with sin when knowing that it is sin. It is also injustice.

Waalbaghya: and/including the aggression/ and the transgression
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after.

This is some of the concrete meaning. It does attain the meaning of something desirable or desire as well as something bad as in an aggression or transgression. Both may share that youth is desirable and youth is associated with immaturity and foolish actions. ALBAGHYA in this context means their transgression or their foolish immature actions.

Bighayri: by other than/ without

Salaam all,


Qul man harrama zeenata Allahi allatee akhraja liAAibadihi waalttayyibati mina alrrizqi qul hiya lillatheena amanoo fee alhayati alddunya khalisatan yawma alqiyamati kathalika nufassilu alayati liqawmin yaAAlamoona

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad): who forbade the adornments that Allah brought out to his servants, and also the good of the provisions?!! Say (O Muhammad): on the day of Judgment they will belong exclusively to those who made themselves trust (Allah)during this life. As such we make distinct the signs for people who have knowledge.

My personal note:

The Aya repeats the often repeated issue of how problematic for someone to declare something forbidden without a clear order from Allah or His messenger. The Aya also promises that the good things of this life will belong exclusively to those who made themselves safe and trusting of Allah in the next life. May Allah always increased our trust in Him and our safety in Him, Amen
