سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا انقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمْ فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ
Sayahlifoona biAllahi lakum itha inqalabtum ilayhim lituAAridoo AAanhum faaAAridoo AAanhum innahum rijsun wamawahum jahannamu jazaan bima kanoo yaksiboona

The aya says:
They will swear by Allah to you (plural) when you return to them, so that you will leave them alone. So, step away from them. They are unclean/troublesome and their abode is Hell, a pay back by what they used to do.

My personal note:
The term TuAARIDOO is a term about move away or step away or let be and ignore the misgiving and so on. So, the Aya is talking about them swearing by Allah to make excuses so they are left alone. The Aya says so be it because they are unclean or troublesome.

The term RIJS takes the meaning of unclean but also trouble or cause for trouble and so on.

Translation of the transliterated words:

The Aya says:
They excuse themselves to you (plural), as you came back to them. Say (singular): “do not find excuses. We shall never trust you. Allah informed us of your news. And Allah and His messenger will see your work then you will be returned to the knowledgeable of the unperceived and the witnessed, so He will inform you of what you used to do”

My personal note:
The Aya brings about that it is useless for those people to try to find excuses because their matter is clear to Allah and that Allah had informed the messenger about them. The aya also informs them that when they are returned to Allah they will be informed of all that they did.

Translation of the transliterated words:
YaAAtathiroona: they seek excuse for themselves/ they try to explain/ they excuse themselves

WA is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. RASOOLUHU 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.

This is then conceptually taken to anything that disappears or becomes as if it disappeared in the forest. ALGHAYB is the unseen/ unperceived/hidden

Note: WA here is for contrasting with the previous word.

إِنَّمَا السَّبِيلُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَكَ وَهُمْ أَغْنِيَاء رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ وَطَبَعَ اللّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Innama alssabeelu AAala allatheena yastathinoonaka wahum aghniyao radoo bian yakoonoo maAAa alkhawalifi watabaAAa Allahu AAala quloobihim fahum layaAAlamoona

The Aya says:
The blame will not befall but the ones who ask you permission (not to participate) while they are fully capable. They contented themselves being among the staying behind and Allah imprinted on their hearts, therefore they lack of knowledge.

My personal note:
The aya starts with limiting the blame and consequences to those who chose not to do what Allah and His messenger asked them to do but while they are fully capable of implementing it. Their punishment, which to me is the worst punishment, is by imprinting their hearts so that when exposed to knowledge they have no ability to grasp it.

In a sense it is a message for us to do what is asked of us by Allah and his messenger whenever we are fully capable to abide by that ruling. If not then we may fall prey to lack of knowledge and lack of open mindedness to Allah’s message. The way out of this predicament is to start doing the good deeds that we are ordered to do on a regular basis.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Innama: nothing but
Note: this term limits what comes next to only one thing and that is what is being talked about.
Alssabeelu: the path
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.

Here the permission is not to go for the fight with him.

Wahum: while they
Aghniyao: rich/ self-sufficient/ capable
Note: the root is Ghain-N-Y and it means freedom from need in any of it’s forms. The word is used to mean rich, because the rich has less needs or no financial need or no need for assistance. AGHNIYAO are the people who are free from need/ self-sufficient/ capable in this context.

Note: the root is R-Dhad-Y and it means accepting lovingly. RADOO is an action that is completed or will be completed. It means: the action of lovingly accepting happened in the conditional by the subject (third person plural).

watabaAAa: and was stamped/ and was sealed
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. TABaAAa is derived from the root TTA-B-Ain and it means the imprint of one entity upon another. This is then used for the stamp or seal or any imprint. It is also used to point to the general habits of people or entities, as if imprinted on us. It is also used, when followed by AAaLA to mean sealing or closing something, as in the case here. TABaAAa is an action that is completed. It means: the action of sealing or closing the object (AAaLA Quloobihim= upon their hearts) happened by the subject Third person singular pointing to Allah.

Allahu: Allah

AAala: upon
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.

وَلاَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ إِذَا مَا أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لاَ أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّواْ وَّأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلاَّ يَجِدُواْ مَا يُنفِقُونَ

The Aya says:
Nor upon those who when they come to you (singular)to take them you responded: “I do not find what I carry you with”. They left with eyes flooded with tears in sadness, for not being able to spend.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the theme from the previous Aya and brings about those people who really wanted to join the prophet (peace be upon him) but he was not able to accommodate them and they were not able to contribute because of their lack of resource. So, they left his company full of sadness and with eyes flooded with tears.
The Aya basically reassures them that they are fine and should have no worries. This also leads us to an understanding that if the only reason stopping a person from contributing is inability then he or she is counted as a contributor.

The Aya says:
There is not upon the weak nor the sick, nor those who do not find what to spend, a problem/ restriction when they sincerely intended to Allah and His messenger. There is not a path to overwhelm the providers of goodness. And Allah is protectively covering, merciful.

My personal note:
The Aya assures those who could not be part of the effort because of real excuses including, weakness, illness and lack of resources. It tells us that such excuses exempt them from being burdened by the feeling of guilt and inadequacy and so forth as long as their intentions are purely good.
The Aya also assures those who do good that they are under Allah’s protection and that no harm shall come their way because Allah blocks those paths to harm. It is important to remember that the worst harm is not physical but it is in being vulnerable to the whispers of badness.

AAala: upon
aldduAAafai: the weak/ the weak people/ the powerless

وَجَاء الْمُعَذِّرُونَ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ لِيُؤْذَنَ لَهُمْ وَقَعَدَ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ سَيُصِيبُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Wajaa almuAAaththiroona mina alaAArabi liyuthana lahum waqaAAada allatheena kathaboo Allaha warasoolahu sayuseebu allatheena kafaroo minhum AAathabun aleemun

The Aya says:
And the searchers of excuse among the nomadic Arabs arrived in order to be excused, while sat tight the ones who were untruthful to Allah and his messenger. Those among them that rejected will be hit by painful suffering.

My personal note:
The Aya talks about two categories of people. One that aims for excuse for lagging behind and another that did not even bother to do so, but they were given the designation of being untruthful to Allah and his messenger. The answer to them both is that Allah will punish those who are rejecters amongst them.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wajaa: and came
Note: Wa here is for starting a sentence. JAA is derived from the root 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 or pluaral pointing to ALMuAAaTHTHIROON= the excusing)

almuAAaththiroona: the ones aiming for excuse/ the searching for excuse

It means: the giving of permission for the object (LAHUM= for them) is being sought from an undeclared subject.

Lahum: for them
waqaAAada: and sat/ and remained/ while remained
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. In here it can also carry the meaning of contrasting with other. QaAAaDA is derived from the root Qaf-Ain-D and it means sitting. Conceptually, it carries the meaning of staying in place and not moving/act or not wanting to move or act in addition to sitting or positioning. In this context it carries the meaning of sitting and waiting and watching and staying put. QaAAaDA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of sitting and remaining and staying put happened by the subject (third person plural).
Allatheena: those who

The concrete word is RASL and it means a group of people or animals that were sent by their owners or senders. RUSULUN means messengers of and is the plural of RASOOL who is the one that is sent and is used to mean the messenger because he was sent by the sender to the receiver. RASOOLA means messenger of or the envoy of. HU means him and it points to Allah.

Sayuseebu: will hit/ will afflict
Note: SAYUSEEBU is derived from the root Sad-W-B and it means in one of the concrete usages the rain falling on a place. This word is then used to mean hitting the target correctly or being correct, because the rain is correct in hitting it’s target. SAYUSEEBU is an action that is going to happen. It means: the action of targeting and hitting the object (Allatheena Kafaroo= those who rejected) will happen by the subject (third person singular or plural).

Allatheena: those who

The Aya says:

My personal note:
The Aya continues by elaborating on the success for this group in that Allah prepared for them a great abode to live in forever.

Translation of the transliterated words:

لَـكِنِ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَعَهُ جَاهَدُواْ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرَاتُ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
Lakini alrrasoolu waallatheena amanoo maAAahu jahadoo biamwalihim waanfusihim waolaika lahumu alkhayratu waolaika humu almuflihoona

The Aya says:
However, the messenger and those who have faith with him made effort through their money and their own selves. And to them belong the good things, and those are the bearers of success.

My personal note:
The Aya reminds us that making the effort opposite adversity in Allah’s path and according to the teachings of His messenger is the path to success, not only to the people who do it, but to all.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Lakini: but instead, however
alrrasoolu: the messenger/ the envoy
Note: ALRRASOOLU 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. RUSULUN means messengers of and is the plural of RASOOL who is the one that is sent and is used to mean the messenger because he was sent by the sender to the receiver.

However the resistance can come in all forms including psychological and personal.
Biamwalihim: by their money/ by their belongings
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. AMWAL is derived from the root M-W-L and it means what a person owns of gold and silver. This is used to mean anything owned or just money. AMWALI means moneys of. KUM means plural you.

waanfusihim: and their selves
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.

ANFUSI is derived from the root N-F-S and it means to breath but is extended to mean self since the self breathes and that defines her existance.

Radoo bian yakoonoo maAAa alkhawalifi watubiAAa AAala quloobihim fahum la yafqahoona

The Aya says:
They were content to be amongst the staying behind, and it was imprinted on their minds and hearts, therefore they lack in understanding.

My personal note:
This Aya continues in reaffirming a theme that occurs a good bit in the Qur’an and that is one of the worse punishments for sins, especially the sins of not doing what we are supposed to do, is that it renders us susceptible to the problem of losing our moral compass and therefore drifting further astray.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Radoo: accepted/ lovingly accepted/ were content with accepting
Note: the root is R-Dhad-Y and it means accepting lovingly. RADOO is an action that is completed or will be completed. It means: the action of lovingly accepting happened in the conditional by the subject (third person plural).

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. TUBiAAa is derived from the root TTA-B-Ain and it means the imprint of one entity upon another. This is then used for the stamp or seal or any imprint. It is also used to point to the general habits of people or entities, as if imprinted on us. It is also used, when followed by AAaLA to mean sealing or closing something, as in the case here. TUBiAAa is an action that is completed. It means: the action of sealing or closing the object (AAaLA Quloobihim= upon their hearts) happened by an undeclared subject.

AAala: upon
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.

The Aya says:
And when a chapter comes down that you (plural) have faith in Allah and strive with His messenger, the people of means amongst them asked permission (not to) and said: “leave us be with the staying”

My personal note:
The Aya brings the example that the people of means amongst those who are of weak faith may often try to get out of their obligation to put their effort despite resistance. Of course this cannot be applied to all people of means but the ones with weaker constitution in their iman (faith and safety and trust in Allah)

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waitha: and when/ and if and when
Onzilat: was brought down

It means: the action of making the object (Sooratun= a chapter) arrive or making it descend happened by an undeclared subject.

The Aya says:
And do not let yourself be awed by their money nor children. Allah seeks not anything but to punish them through them (money and children) in this life and their selves get consumed / be gone while they are rejecters.

My personal note:
In a sense the Aya brings about that for those who put their effort in other than Allah, then they will be eaten by worry about their goals and that is a form of punishment. Eventually we die and we leave all those things that were so careful to acquire and accumulate behind and so they end up more of a burden for no good reason. We are wiser if we put our energy in our relationship with Allah.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wala: and not

وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلاَ تَقُمْ عَلَىَ قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ
Wala tusalli AAala ahadin minhum mata abadan wala taqum AAala qabrihi innahum kafaroo biAllahi warasoolihi wamatoo wahum fasiqoona

The Aya says:
And do not (singular you) ritually pray upon any dead one of them ever, and do not stand vigil by his grave. They have rejected Allah and his messenger and died while outside the path.

My personal note:
This is a specific order to the prophet about a specific group of people that the Prophet knew and where the prophet was prohibited from praying the ritual funeral prayer. He was also prohibited from visiting their graves with the intentions of saying blessings on their dead souls.

The reason for this is that they have rejected Allah and his messenger and died as such. This kind of message has no clear applicability today because we cannot assume that a Muslim died as a non muslim as long as he/she did not declare their renunciation of Islam. It may apply in a sense of prohibiting muslims from praying the muslim funeral prayers on non muslims as a general rule.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Wala: and not
Tusalli: you (singular) ritually pray
Note: the root is Sad-L-Y or Sad-l-w and it means two main things in concrete. One is the lower back area and this one is used for one who is racing towards a goal and the head is close to the lower back of the one who is ahead. It is also used in concrete to mean heat and warmth and fire. The word is used for prayer as well. In the majority of contexts, it points to ritual prayer. TUSALLI is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the action of ritually praying is happening or will be happening by the subject (second person singular). WALA Tusalli however takes an order form with the meaning: And do not ritually pray.

So, if Allah returned you (singular) to a group of them, then they asked your permission to venture out, then respond: “You will never venture out with me ever. Nor fight an enemy with me. You were content to sit behind the first time then sit with the staying behind.”

My personal note:
The Aya explains a form of punishment and that is when the person loses the privilege of doing things with the prophet upon him be peace as a form of punishment. That is because it informs the person that he or she is of an unknown standing in Allah’s eyes and that is a great risky place to be in.
