Salaam all,

Waisalhum AAani alqaryati allatee kanat hadirata albahri ith yaAAdoona fee alssabti ith tateehim heetanuhum yawma sabtihim shurraAAan wayawma layasbitoona la tateehim kathalika nabloohum bima kanoo yafsuqoona

The Aya says:
And ask them about the town that was by the sea as they transgress on the Sabbath as their fish came to them on their day of Sabbath making a path through the water and on the other days they did not come. As such we test them by what they used to drift from the path.

My personal note:
The Aya is significant in that this town was tested by this kind of test not for fun but because they have already drifted from the path and therefore they tested further and drifted further from the path. It is a message for all of us to try as hard as we can to stay on the path so that we are not dragged further from the path by other tests that may lead us astray. May Allah give us the energy to stay on the path and protect us from our laziness on the path and from the side effects of our sins of omission and sins of committing the prohibitions.

One other question is whether the rules of the Sabbath still apply to the Muslims and the answer is that Muslims are supposed to leave everything they do and attend the Friday prayer unless in special circumstances but they are allowed to work outside of the time of the prayer of Friday. Muslim scholars understand this as a replacement and easing of the more restrictive rulings of the Sabbath that was upon the Jewish people before us. If a Jewish person converts to Islam then he or she comes under the Muslim ruling and therefore they do not need to continue to abide by the old Sabbath restrictions.

The Aya says:
So, the transgressors amongst them replaced it by a statement other than what was said to them, so We sent upon them punishment/ affliction from the sky by what they used to displace.

My personal note:
This is a message not to play with Allah’s words and try to make them different from what He told us in order for us to gain some gain or to avoid abiding by a certain ruling. This kind of action can put us at risk of severe punishment as happened to some of the Israelites before us.

The Aya says:
And as it was said to them reside in this town and eat from it wherever you willed and say put down and enter the gate bowing/ prostrating, We shall protectively cover your sins. We shall provide more to the do gooders.

WaqattaAAnahumu ithnatay AAashrata asbatan omaman waawhayna ila moosa ithi istasqahu qawmuhu ani idrib biAAasaka alhajara fainbajasat minhu ithnata AAashrata AAaynan qad AAalima kullu onasin mashrabahum wathallalna AAalayhimu alghamama waanzalna AAalayhimu almanna waalssalwa kuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum wama thalamoona walakin kanoo anfusahum yathlimoona

The Aya says:
And we divided them into twelve subclans/ tribes, nations. And We inspired to Moses as his people asked him for water to hit the rock with your staff, so poured out of it twelve springs. Each people knew their place of drinking and we shaded them with the clouds and brought down on them the Manna and Salwa. Eat of the good that we provided you (plural). And they did not harm us with their injustices, but they indeed harmed themselves.

My personal note:
I left the words MANNA and SALWA untranslated because they are the names of the food that came to them and the description of the food is not something that is available to us in detail or certain manner. However, MANNA is derived from the root M-N-N and therefore suggests that it is a great gift of great value in all it’s ways. The term SALWA is derived from the root S-L-W and it suggests something that will help them forget their worries either because of it’s great taste or other features about it that make it enjoyable to eat.

I also translated the last part as the consequence of the act of injustice because sin is an act of injustice against God. However, God is never harmed of it but it returns back and harms the sinner and therefore it is an act of injustice against us as humans and sinners and we are the ones that will suffer the consequences unless Allah protects us from it. That is also why the term MAGHFIRAH is translated as forgiveness when linguistically it means protection. So, we are asking to be protected from the consequences of our actions through that term.

Translation of the transliterated words:

WaqattaAAnahumu: and We cut them/ and We divided them

Wamin qawmi moosa ommatun yahdoona bialhaqqi wabihi yaAAdiloona

The Aya says:
And of the people of Moses a group that guides by the binding truth and through it they live justly

My personal note:
The term QAWM points to a group that is grouped together either by a person or geography or so and so. However, the term UMMa always points to a group that shares same ideas and ideals and outlook on life and guiding principles. In a sense the term UMMA can be used to point any movement of humanity.

The Aya is important in that it reminds muslims and non muslims that the Qur'an does remind us of good qualities and praise to at least a subgroup of the followers of Moses.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wamin: and of
qawmi: people of/ group of
Note: the root is Qaf-Y-M and it means standing or standing upright. ALQAWM are the people that stand together and that makes the group or people or nation, basically, any group of people that stand together based on location rather than ideologiy or ideas. QAWMI means people of/ group of.
Moosa: Moses
Ommatun: a group/ a movement/ a subgroup/ a principled group
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. In a sense they have some shared beliefs and principles on which they move, very much like a movement or a subgroup that is united in common beliefs, actions and principles.

Yahdoona: they guide/ they lead to guidance
Note: YAHDOONA is derived from the root H-D-Y and it means gift in all it’s forms and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. YAHDOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of guiding is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Bialhaqqi: by the binding truth/ by the binding right
Note: BI signifies an attachment or close linkage between what is before and what is after it. In a Verbal sentence it can mean attachment to the action or to the subject as it does the action. This attachment can then signify many things according to the verb and to the sentence and so on. ALHAQQI is derived from the root Ha-Qaf-Qaf and it means binding right where right means correct as well s what is due to one person (rights and obligations). ALHAQQ is binding right or binding truth or just right as the context suggests here.
Wabihi: and by it/ through it (The binding truth/right)
yaAAdiloona: they act justly/ they equitably conduct their lives
Note: the root is AIN-D-L and it means just or straightforward or straight without bends. Conceptually it is used to point to justice or equitable exchange and straightforward dealings. YAAaDILOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means the equitable exchange is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural) to the object (BiHI= by him , the binding truth). In this context it points to all their dealings and behaviours include equitabile exchanges and justice.

The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad): “O people, I am Allah’s envoy to you all, who has authority of the heavens and the earth, there is no one worthy of worship but Him, He gives life and He makes die.” So, make safety (to yourselves, but also to others) by Allah and His envoy the unbooked prophet who makes safety by Allah and His statements, and join/ follow him, perhaps you lead yourselves to guidance.

My personal note:
The Aya points that Muhammad upon him be peace was sent to all society that receives the message and the essence of the message is to make the person who receive the message safe through Allah and His messenger but also to make that person contribute to the safety of the whole environment around him not only to himself/ herself, but to everyone around. It is a message of safety and peace and Allah aims for humanity’s benefit from it in this life and the next.

Salaam all,

Allatheena yattabiAAoona alrrasoola alnnabiyya alommiyya allathee yajidoonahu maktooban AAindahum fee alttawrati waalinjeeli yamuruhum bialmaAAroofi wayanhahum AAani almunkari wayuhillu lahumu alttayyibati wayuharrimu AAalayhimu alkhabaitha wayadaAAu AAanhum israhum waalaghlala allatee kanat AAalayhim faallatheena amanoo bihi waAAazzaroohu wanasaroohu waittabaAAoo alnnoora allathee onzila maAAahu olaika humu almuflihoona

The Aya says:
The ones who join and follow the envoy, the unbooked prophet that they find documented with them in the Torah and Evangile. He enjoins them by what is recognized as good and asks to desist from what is not, and permits for them the good and prohibits the bad and he relieves them from the extra burdens and the restrictions that were imposed upon them. So, those who cause safety through him and supported him and aided him and joined and followed the light that was brought down with him, those are the ones who cause success.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the response to Moses and further defines the people mentioned earlier. It describes them as the people who join and follow the unbooked prophet. Of course two questions arise here:
1- What about the people who came before he was sent? The answer is that they do what is asked of them and aniticipate him.
2- Was he actually documented in the books before us? The Aya says yes.

The Aya also indicates some of the functions that he will do and that is limit the prohibitions to things that are inherently bad to humanity as a general rule or whose bad exceeds the potential for good for humanity. So, in Islam nothing is prohibited for only a test of allegiance or for other causes. Everything that is enjoined is good and everything that is prohibited is bad for humanity. One may ask why such things are created if they are bad or their bad exceeds their good and the answer is that they are prohibited from human consumption but may serve important functions for the other creatures on earth and so they serve an important presence but not for humans. As such they may serve humans in indirect ways through the rest of creation somehow.

I also translated two words a little differently here, I translated AMANOO bihi as cause safety by him/ through him and that is how the verb is understood but with the understanding is that they cause safety primarily to themselves but also opens the door to causing safety to others because following the message of Islam is not only aimed to benefit the person but the community and the wider humanity. I also translated muflihoon as those who cause success the same way because the verb has the same form and it is understood in the same manner.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Allatheena: those who
yattabiAAoona: they join and follow
Note: YATTABiAAooNA is derived from the root T-B-Ain and it means following footsteps or following behind, or joining and following.

The Aya says:
And mandate for us in this life a beauty and in the next one. We indeed repented to You. He (Allah) responded: “My punishment I touch with it whoever I will and my Grace easily encompassed everything. So, I will mandate it to those who act consciously and provide fruitfulness and those who cause safety/ trust by our signs.

My personal note:
The Aya gives Moses a very important indication and that is Allah’s grace and mercy are not haphazard. They are mandated to people who fulfil certain criteria and work on themselves. The criteria are act with consciousness and conscience of Allah and providing fruitfulness which includes charity and any form of sharing whether knowledge, a smile and whatever and those two criteria are included in those who provide safety and trust through Allah signs. The safety and trust that they cause are mainly for themselves but also for all of humanity and that is the essence of a person with Iman, they are safe and trusting in Allah and they seek His help and use His instructions in making themselves safer and more trustworthy and also making the whole world safer to all who are in it. May Allah help us in this endeavor.
