Waimma yanzaghannaka mina alshshaytani nazghun faistaAAith biAllahi innahu sameeAAun AAaleemun

The Aya says:
And If you are prompted by a prompt from Satan, then seek refuge by Allah. He is indeed listening, knowing.

My personal note:
The Aya points to the botherings and prompts from Satan and that once we feel it then we need to seek refuge by Allah for He protects us from them and keeps us on the safe side. Of course the thing for us is to remember to seek that refuge.

The new word here is NAZGH and is derived from when you are hit but a thorm or an irritant that you may feel a compelling reason to respond somehow to prevent it or move from it. The term is used for the promptings of satan to make us have animosity between humans for things that are not worth fighting for or to respond in a reactive manner to the trespasses of others against us and in a way that ends up being harmful. For satan does not only work to damage our relationship with God but also our relationships with other human beings.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waimma: and if

Yanzaghannaka: irritated you (singular)/ thorned you/ bothered you/ prompted
Note: the root is N-Z- Ghain and it means an irritant as in the stabbing of a thorn and so on. Conceptually, it points to irritants that occur between people and so on that may lead to animosity and a need to respond in a likewise manner. YANZAGHANNAKA is an action that is completed. It means the action of irritation and bother happened to the object (KA= singular you) by the subject (NAZGHUN- irritant)
Mina: from
alshshaytani: Satan/ the one that is displaced from God’s mercy and works on displacing others.
Note: the root is SH-Ta-N and it means in one of the concrete meanings the long rope and in another the long rope at the well that one uses to get the bucket out of the water. The term is used to mean far and away (in all the planes of thought) as the long rope and it is also used for displacement or pulling away, as a parallel to the rope that pulls the bucked out of the water. ALSHAITAN is the one who is far or away (from God’s mercy) and who works at pulling others away through his long “rope”. It is the word used from Satan.
Nazghun: irritant/ bother/ prompt
Note: the root is N-Z- Ghain and it means an irritant as in the stabbing of a thorn and so on.

NAZGHUN is an irritant or a bother or a wisper that causes animosity between people and so on.
faistaAAith: then seek refuge
Note: Fa means then. ISTaAAiTH is derived from the root Ain-W-Th and it means refuge or shelter that protects. One of the concrete words that are used are the tree that grows in a place where it is protected from the damage of the wind or the grazing goats. ISTaAAiTH is an order addressed to a singular. It means: Seek refuge
biAllahi: by Allah/ from Allah
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.

Khuthi alAAafwa wamur bialAAurfi waaAArid AAani aljahileena


The Aya says:
(O Muhammad) take the ease/ forgiveness and enjoin the good and avoid the ignorant.

My personal note:

The term khuth al afwaa has many potential interpretations. The term AAFWA can carry the meaning or something that is erased and that applies to forgiveness as in nothing happened to hurt my feelings any more and so on. It also carries to anything that is provided by others that does not put burden on them and that applies to charity that is easily affordable for the person but also any good gestures and good manners that do not cost the person anything.

The Aya is then asking the prophet upon him be peace to forgive but also to accept anything that is given by others whether good gestures of good manners or good offerings.

The term mur bialaaurf also carries with it to enjoin what is considered as good by the society with the understanding that there are universal matters that are considered good by all people and that we as muslims abide by them as well.

The last statement points to moving away or avoiding those who are ignorant and who are saying things out of their ignorance rather than them showing interest in correcting their ignorance.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Khuthi: take
Note: the root is Hamza-KH-TH and it means to take. KHUTHI is an order addressed to a singular. It means: take.

alAAafwa: the forgiveness/ the good manners/ the easy to give
Note: the root is root Ain-F-W and it means erasing footprint through the effect of the wind. This is the concrete and in abstract it means erasing a fault from the record as in forgiving it or erasing something from one’s ownership as in giving it up to someone else or just dealing with something as if it does not exist anymore or did never exist. It also is used in concrete to mean abundance and plentifulness and what is easy to give of money or good manners. The relationship between the two meanings is if you have an abundance of something then you may not feel a particular loss just as the footprint is lost through the abundance of sand. In this context, it points to prosperity that made them not pay attention to the past. ALAAaFWA could mean many things, it can mean the excess charity, the forgiveness and other things as well.
Wamur: and order
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. MUR is derived from the root Hamza-M-R and it means ordering something and the implementation of it. Sometimes it attains the implementation part or matter as in personal matter and so forth, and at times it is the order and implementation of the order, depending on the situation in the sentence. MUR is an order or a request addressed to an individual to order.
bialAAurfi: by the recognized (as good)
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. ALaLAAuRFI is derived from the root Ain-R-F and it means the elevated place that will be known or recognized from a distance. ALaAAuRFI is what is recognized. This is also used to mean what is good or recognized as being good or appropriate.

WaaAARID: and move 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 is 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 to a singular to move away.
AAani: from
Aljahileena: the ignorant
Note: the root is J-H-L and it means to become lacking in knowledge/to become ignorant for the verb. The noun means lack of knowledge/ignorance. ALJAHILEENa are the ignorant in the sense that they are saying and doing things out of ignorance and not interested in learning or improving at that particular point in this context.

My personal note:
Here, the Aya continues after the challenge to scheme against the prophet by the idols they worship, it continues that they basically cannot do anything to harm me because I am under the protection and direction and guardianship of Allah who also actively supports and provides direction and guardianship to all the righteous people.

The Aya says:
Do they have legs to walk by? Or do they have hands to act strongly with? Or do they have eyes they see with? Or do they have ears to hear with? Say (O Muhammad): call upon your partners then scheme against me then do not give me reprieve.

My personal note:
The terms legs and hands and eyes and ears have to be taken in a wider conceptual context as the ability and mechanism to move, act and create, see and hear without delvng into the specifics of those mechanisms.

The Aya points out that they worship entities that have none of the above even when one stretched the imagination. Then the Aya challenges the polytheists to ask for help in scheming against the prophet. The challenge clearly is meant to let the polytheists recognize the lack of any effect from the idols they worship.

May Allah keep us under His protection from falling under false idols.

The Aya says:
Indeed the ones you (plural) are calling short of Allah are slaves like you. Therefore call them so let them respond to you if you were truthful.

My personal note:
The term AAiBAD carries with it the meaning of slaves. In here however, it carries the concept of being subdued to other powers that overpower it. So, the reason we call for herlp is for our lack of power and if we worship an entity that is also subdued because of it’s own limitations we are not going to have a response.

Salaam all,

Falamma atahuma salihan jaAAala lahu shurakaa feema atahuma fataAAalaAllahu AAamma yushrikoona

The Aya says:
So when He gave them beneficent (child) the two made for Him partners in what He provided them. So, exulted is He above and away from what they partner.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the previous one. Whereas the previous one starts with the beginning of humanity in the first couple, it progresses to talk about all human couples and the psyche of them getting pregnant and being anxious about what comes next so it ends with the promise to Allah that they will be appreciative if He provided them with beneficent child.

This Aya continues pointing out that at least some of the couples, once they receive the good child, they start giving partners to Allah in their worship and appreciatiation and adoration. It reminds us to always know that it is Allah alone the provider to us and the one who deserves to be worshipped alone and it reminds us not to fall into those traps that humans fall into.

Huwa allathee khalaqakum min nafsin wahidatin wajaAAala minha zawjaha liyaskuna ilayha falamma taghashshaha hamalat hamlan khafeefan famarrat bihi falamma athqalat daAAawa Allaha rabbahuma lain ataytana salihan lanakoonanna mina alshshakireena

The Aya says:
He, the one who created you (plural) from one self and made her mate from her in order that he has solace to her. So when he tenderly covered her she bore a light weight then passed by it, so when she became heavily pregnant, the two asked Allah their nurturing Lord: “If you brought us a beneficent, then we will be indeed amongst the appreciative”.

My personal note:
The aya brings about some really beautiful imagery and messages. It does bring about that the point about marriage is for two people to settle and find solace to each other as the main reason.

The other beauty is in describing the sexual interaction between the two in the form of taghashsha= lightly covered which brings the tenderness in the sexual relationship between the two as the important issue.

Then the Aya does bring the issue of the anxiety of any expecting couple of what is to come and hoping and praying that it will be ok. Here the couple asked for SALIH which is a term that covers good health but also good outcome and good conduct all in one word.

I did translate the term SHAKIREEN in the form of appreciative rather than my usual way of translating it as thankful more because I get the sense of the term Shukr as showing appreciation in the heart, mind, tongue and action.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Huwa: He
Allathee: the one who
Khalaqakum: He created you (plural)
Note: the root is KH-L-Qaf and it means creating and creation.

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. JaAAaLA 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.
