فَرِحَ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلاَفَ رَسُولِ اللّهِ وَكَرِهُواْ أَن يُجَاهِدُواْ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَقَالُواْ لاَ تَنفِرُواْ فِي الْحَرِّ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرًّا لَّوْ كَانُوا يَفْقَهُونَ

The Aya says:
Rejoiced the deserters by their staying apart from Allah’s messenger and they resisted / disliked to exert effort through their money and themselves in Allah’s path. And they said: “Do not march in the heat”. Say: “The fire of Hell is hotter” had they understood.

My personal note:
One of the messages of this Aya is not to hurry and rejoice about short term gains and for lack of spending effort in an important cause. Always look at the long term things that make it much more worth it to put some energy in a worthy cause such as Allah’s for long term benefit for yourself and for others.

The Aya says:
Whether you Ask forgiveness for them or not, if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times then Allah will never forgive them. That is by their rejection of Allah and His messenger, while Allah does not guide the drifting people.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about that when we ask forgiveness from Allah for others, this is contingent on Allah accepting this particular request. The Aya informs us that some requests will not be answered depending on the person and their actions and rejection of Allah and the messenger. The Aya again declares that Allah does not guide those who intentionally drift from the path.

In here because it follows a verb that does not have an object the bi came to insert and object mainly.
warasoolihi: and His messenger/ His envoy
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.

In the Qur’an, it is used to mean being outside of God’s path. ALFASIQEEN are the ones who drift from the path

Allatheena yalmizoona almuttawwiAAeena mina almumineena fee alssadaqati waallatheena la yajidoona illa juhdahum fayaskharoona minhum sakhira Allahu minhum walahum AAathabun aleemun

The Aya says:
Those who criticize the ones who donate to charity voluntarily amongst the faithful, and they mock the ones who could not find but their effort. Allah mocks them and to them belongs painful suffering.

My personal note:
The Aya defines this group of people as a group that will bad mouth the person who gives the charity voluntarily and then they mock the ones who are poor to donate material things and can donate only their effort. The Aya frowns upon the people in this category and threatens them with a tough punishment.

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ
Alam yaAAlamoo anna Allaha yaAAlamu sirrahum wanajwahum waanna Allaha AAallamu alghuyoobi

The Aya says:
Have they not known that Allah knows what their private and shared secrets and that Allah is very knowledgeable of the unperceived?!

My personal note:
The term SIRR is translated as inner secret and that it applies to any secret whether held inside the person or shared with others. However, the term Najwa is about private communication that is meant to stay within a select group of people. So the terms “sirrahum wanajwahum” encompasses any form of secret they hold whether kept within the person or shared with a select group.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Alam: Have they not?/ did they not?
Note: this is a question in the negative that takes the form of “Have not?/ Did not?”
yaAAlamoo: they know
Note: YaAALAMOO is derived from the root Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. YaAALAMOO is an action that is being completed or will be completed.

The word means then any inner feeling as in secret or happiness and is understood according to the context. SIRRA means secret of or what is kept secret of. HUM means them.
Wanajwahum: and their tightly held ones/ including the private communications
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. LA is for emphasis. NAJWA is derived from the root N-J-W and it means to come out of a tight situation or place or otherwise according to the situation. It is used to mean saving from a bad place but it can mean other things according to the context. One of the derivatives of the word is NAJWA which means the thing that people keep tightly held and that is their secret mainly within a small group of people.

فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ بِمَا أَخْلَفُواْ اللّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْذِبُونَ
FaaAAqabahum nifaqan fee quloobihim ila yawmi yalqawnahu bima akhlafoo Allaha mawaAAadoohu wabima kanoo yakthiboona

The Aya says:
So He made their consequence hypocrisy in their hearts until the day they meet Him, by their reneging Allah what they promised Him and by their being untruthful.

My personal note:
This is a very significant Aya. It declares one of the forms of punishment for sins that is probably the most scary and that is making the hearts and minds vulnerable to disbelief and falling farther into darkness. The Aya also mentions the important sins that lead to this form of punishment. They are reneging on promises that we make to Allah and being untruthful. May Allah protect us from both of those sins.

Translation of the transliterated words:

FaaAAqabahum: So, he made them followed/ trailed/ He made their consequence/ He proceeded
Note: FA means therefore or so or then. aAAQABAHUM is derived from the root Ain-Qaf-B and it means back of foot.

Nifaqan: Hypocrisy/ hidden agenda
Note: the root is N-F-Qaf. To explain it I use another derivative NAFAQ which means Tunnel. The tunnel is connection underground from one place to another. Therefore the essence of the word Tunnel is to “let Good/Useful things go to others under cover”. NIFAQAN means hypocrisy or hidden agenda.
Fee: in/on
quloobihim: their hearts/ hearts and minds/ and their insides
Note: The root is Qaf-L-B and it means turning 180 degrees or upside down. The word is used for heart, because it is the organ that changes it’s moods often. Therefore QALB is our thoughts and emotions or what is inside us. QULOOBI are hearts and minds of or thoughts and emotions of. HIM means them.

It means: the action of meeting face to face between the subjects (third person plural) and the object (HU= him and points to Allah) is happening or will be happening.
Bima: by what

Kanoo: they were/ happened to be/ they used to
Note: the root is K-W-N and it means being. KANOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (third personal plural). This in turn means: they were/ they happened to be.
Yakthiboona: lie/ be untruthful
Note: the root is 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. YAKTHIBOON is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the action of lying or saying untruths is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). Because it was preceded by the kanoo (they used to) then it is actually in the past despite the form of the verb being in the present or future.

Falamma atahum min fadlihi bakhiloo bihi watawallaw wahum muAAridoona

The Aya says:
So when He gave them from His bounty, they held on to it and moved away while avoiding/ignoring.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the theme that started in the previous Aya. It brings about that after their promise, they were provided with what they asked for but then became stingy and not sharing and moved away trying to avoid or ignoring their charity obligations.

This means that if one is blessed with money then he or she is obligated to give to charity. The money we have is a test in how we use it.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Falamma: So when
atahum: brought them/ gave them

Note: the root is Hamza-T-Y and it means coming with determination. The concrete word is for the water that flows in a place where it did not rain, therefore suggesting that the water came from somewhere else. ATA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of bringing about the object (ma= what) to the other object (HUM= them) happened by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah)

وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ عَاهَدَ اللّهَ لَئِنْ آتَانَا مِن فَضْلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
Waminhum man AAahada Allaha lain atana min fadlihi lanassaddaqanna walanakoonanna mina alssaliheena

The Aya says:
And amongst them who promised Allah that if He provided us from His bounty then we shall indeed give to charity and we shall indeed be amongst the righteous.

My personal note:
This is a beginning of a statement that will be completed in the coming Ayat. It brings about how people make promises to Allah at times but perhaps rarely meet them or get to become arrogant instead.

When it is in deed, it takes the shape of any act of truthfulness including charity. This is because their action prove the truth of their words. NASSADAQANNA is an action that is a response to the conditional with emphasis. It means: We shall indeed give charity.
Walanakoonanna: and we will indeed be

يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ مَا قَالُواْ وَلَقَدْ قَالُواْ كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُواْ بَعْدَ إِسْلاَمِهِمْ وَهَمُّواْ بِمَا لَمْ يَنَالُواْ وَمَا نَقَمُواْ إِلاَّ أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ فَإِن يَتُوبُواْ يَكُ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ وَإِن يَتَوَلَّوْا يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلاَ نَصِيرٍ

The Aya says:
They swear by Allah they did not say while they actually said the statement of rejection and rejected after having attained Islam. And they proceeded to what they could not achieve. And they did not detest except that Allah and His messenger enriched them from His bounty. So, if they repent then it is better for them, while if they do not, then Allah will punish them painful punishment in this life and the next and they have no protector in the land nor helper.

My personal note:
The Aya elaborates on the hypocrites that they do say something but deny it and swear otherwise. It also brings about that being rich or self sufficient is perhaps a challenge to some people because it makes them arrogant and more likely to reject the truth. So, we ask Allah to give us what is best for our spiritual life and our relationship with him.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ وَاغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
Ya ayyuha alnnabiyyu jahidi alkuffara waalmunafiqeena waoghluth AAalayhim wamawahum jahannamu wabisa almaseeru

The Aya says:
O you the propher: “Strive in the face of opposition of the rejecters and hypocrites and be firm with them. And their ultimate abode is the hell fire and what a bad outcome”

My personal note:
The Aya orders the prophet to work and exert his effort in the face of the opposition and hurdles that are placed by the two groups. It also tells him that their final abode is the worst outcome for them.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Ya ayyuha: O you
Alnnabiyyu: the prophet
Note: NABIYY is derived from one of two roots either The first is N-B-Hamza and it means news. The other is N-B-Y and it means elevated. The word NABIYY means a prophet, and it could be because the prophet brings news or that he is elevated over others or both. ALNNABIYYU means the prophet and the AL signifies that the person talked about is known to the listener or listeners. YA AYYUHA ALNNABIYYU is a calling to the prophet.

Jahidi: strive/ strive in the face of opposition

WA is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. ALMUNAFIQEENAis derived from the root N-F-Qaf. To explain it I use another derivative NAFAQ which means Tunnel. The tunnel is connection underground from one place to another. Therefore the essence of the word Tunnel is to “let Good/Useful things go to others under cover”. ALMUNAFIQEENA are people with something hiding different from the apparent. They are people who say they are muslim but in reality or deep in their hearts they are not. General the term hypocrites is given to them or people with hidden agenda.

MAWA means place or time of resort of or place and time of. HUM means them.
jahannamu: Hell
Note: Jahannam is one of the names of Hell. There is a root J-H-N-M and it means a very deep valley with the understanding that at the bottom of the valley it is very hot. It probably is also related to the term Gehenna in the bible as a place of punishment and destruction and so forth.
wabisa: And hardship/ worse/ and such bad
Note: the root is B-Hamza-S and it means lion. For the verb it means to arrive at lion which means to become strong and hard or to suffer from hardship that is in the lion. BISA means hardship/ worse/ what a bad

WaAAada Allahu almumineena waalmuminati jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha wamasakina tayyibatan fee jannati AAadnin waridwanun mina Allahi akbaru thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

The Aya says:
Allah promised the faithful men and women, gardens with rivers flowing underneath. They stay in them, and good dwellings in the gardens of Eden. However, loving acceptance from Allah is greater. That is indeed the great prize.

My personal note:
The Aya is significant for while it brings the physical attributes of paradise that are very desirable, it emphasizes what is even greater and that is the loving acceptance of the person by Allah. It is something that both Muslims and non Muslims may miss thinking about and contemplating on. It is the ultimate meeting with Allah as the greatest love that we as faithful people are looking forward to.

WaAAada: promised/ He promised
Note: the root is W-Ain-D and it means promise. WaAAaDA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of promising happened by the subject (third person singular pointing to Allah) to the object (ALMUMUMINEENA= the faithful).

وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاَةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُوْلَـئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللّهُ إِنَّ اللّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

The Aya says:
And the faithful, men and women, some of them are guardians/proteges of some. They encourage by the licit and discourage away from the illicit and they keep upright the ritual prayer and make come the obligatory sharing and they readily obey Allah and His messenger. Those, Allah will Grace them. Indeed, Allah is dominantly strong, wise.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about the most important points related to the faithful men and women. I used licit for the Maarouf which I used “licit” to translate as recognized as good and “illicit” for munkar which is the opposite. One reason is the two words are exact opposite and licit and illicit may carry the meaning better. I also changed my usual way of translating YAMUROON from ordering to encouraging and yanhawna to discouraging. This is because they have no mandate but the encouragement and discouragement in a sense unless they are within a governing body that can have that mandate.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waalmuminoona: and the male faithful/ the faithful/ while the faithul
Note: WA here is for initiation of the sentence here or for contrasting with the previous sentence. ALMUMINOONA is derived from the root Hamza-M-N and it means safety.

The Aya says:
Did not arrive to them the news of the people of Noah and AAad and Thamud and the people of Abraham and the companions of Madian and the flipped over towns. Their messengers came to them with the clarifiers. So, it was not for Allah to treat them unfairly but they were unfair to themelves.

My personal note:
The Aya brings to the rejecters the examples of people they heard or knew about and who had bad outcomes as part of their stubbornness in responding poorly the message. The Aya points that those people were unjust to their own selves in the ways they acted.

Madian is a name of a person and a place. The two may be related as in the place is where the person and his offspring lived. Some books of the Tafsir mention that he was a son of Abraham which is also mentioned in the bible. In the Qur’an the place is mentioned within two contexts. One is the story of Shuaib who advised his people of Madian to worship Allah alone and also be fair in their sales and measures (They cheated apparently). They refused and were punished. The other story is the arrival of Moses to Madian where he was given refuge for a few years before returning to Egypt.
