وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَافِرِينَ

wanajjinā biraḥmatika mina l-qawmi l-kāfirīna

 

The Aya says:

And save us through your grace from the rejecting/ungrateful people.

 

My personal note:

It continues the dialogue of the followers of Moses and their supplication to Allah.  Here they are ask for saving them through His mercy and grace.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

Wanajjinā: and save us

Note: WA in this context is for initiation of another related sentence.  NAJJINA 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.  NAJJINA is a request or order addressed to a singular.  It means save us.

biraḥmatika: through your mercy/ grace

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.  BI in the context points to tool or causation. RAHMATIKA is derived from the root R-Ha-M and it means womb in concrete. This can be extended to all the positive qualities that the womb provides to the fetus. RAHMATI means mercy or grace of.  KA means singular you and points to Allah

 

Mina: from

l-qawmi: the people

Note:  ALQAWMI is derived from the root Qaf-Y-M and it means standing or standing upright. ALQAWMI are the people that stand together and that makes the group or people or nation, basically, any group of people that stand together or form a group.

l-kāfirīna: the rejecters/ the ungrateful

Note: ALKAFIREEN is derived from the root  K-F-R and it means cover or bury in the ground, as in put the seed in the ground and cover it.  This is then used conceptually for many purposes as in discarding and rejecting as well as burying.  ALKAFIREENA are the ones who reject the truth or discard it.  It also applies to those who are not grateful.

فَقَالُواْ عَلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا لاَ تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ

faqālū ʿalā l-lahi tawakkalnā rabbanā lā tajʿalnā fit`natan lil`qawmi l-ẓālimīna

 

The Aya says:

So they responded: “Upon Allah we place our trust.  Our nurturing lord: Do not make us subjects of hardship from the unjust people”

 

My personal note:

The word Fitna generally means a test that can be hard and very testy.  It also applies to the end product of it or the recipient of it or the perpetrator of it.  In this context they may be talking about them receiving harsh treatment or them being a test for the others and so on.  So, it is a word that may have several meanings and targets and they are all not mutually exclusive.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

faqālū: So they responded

Note: FA means then or therefore or so.  QALOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALOO is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person plural). This, in turn means: they said or claimed. In this context it takes the meaning of they responded.

ʿalā: upon

l-lahi: Allah

tawakkalnā: We delegate/ We entrust

Note: the root is W-K-L and it means entrusting a matter to another, or trusting the guarantee or guardianship or responsibility of another. WAKEEL is the person who is guardian or guarantor. TATAWAKKALNA is an action that is completed.  It means: the entrusting or delegating happened by the subject (first person plural).

Rabbanā: our nurturing Lord

Note: the root is R-B-B and it means nurturing and Lordship as two components of the meaning that can be present together or one at a time according to the context of the sentence.   RABBA is nurturing Lord of.  NA is for us.

 

lā tajʿalnā: Do not make us

Note: LA is for negation of what comes after.  TAJaAALNA is derived from the root j-ain-l and it means making, forming or transforming something that already exists or that has not existed yet.  It can also mean providing an attribute or designation to an entity. Conceptually, it takes the meaning of transformation/ designation more often than formation.  LA TAJaAALNA is a request addressed to a singular.  It means: Do not make us

fit`natan: recipients of testing/ recipients of hardship/ recipients of abuse

Note: the root is F-T-N and it means in concrete form, the melting of Gold or silver in order to know the pure from the impure or the true from the fake. Therefore, in abstract, the word suggests an extreme test with hardship in it, or a burn with fire or even taking someone’s eyes with the glitter of the false Gold and silver. FITNATAN means testing or hardship and so on.  This kind of construct can take the meaning of the testing of hardship but it can be subject to hardship or a cause of hardship.  In this kind of sentence they probably all apply because treating them is a test, and they can be the subject of the hardship and a cause of suffering for those who abuse them

lil`qawmi: for/ to the people

Note: Li means to or for.  ALQAWMI is derived from the root Qaf-Y-M and it means standing or standing upright. ALQAWMI are the people that stand together and that makes the group or people or nation, basically, any group of people that stand together or form a group.

l-ẓālimīna:  the unjust/ the transgressors

Note: ATHTHALIMEEN is derived from the root 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.  ATHTHALIMEEN are the unjust or the transgressors.

The Aya says:

And Moses said: “O My people, if you happened to have faith in Allah then delegate to Him if you were Muslims/ Actively committed”

 

My personal note:

Moses is bringing up a very important principle.  It Is the principle of a believer to delegate the matters they have not ability to control, to Allah.  This gives us peace that what we cannot control is in good Hands.

This, in turn means: he said or responded or communicated.

 bil-lahi: in Allah

faʿalayhi: so upon him

 mus`limīna: Muslims/ actively committed

Note: the root is S-L-M and it means dissociation from an entity to re-associate with another that is usually better. This carries the meaning of health and safety. It also carries the meaning of delivery from one to another and it carries the meaning of peace, since it is the dissociation from harm to peace. MUSLIMEEN are the ones who disassociate themselves from previous entities in order to associate themselves with God. This then carries with it the meaning of being committed to God and his message.

The Aya says:

So only some offspring of his people believed Moses while fearing Pharaoh and their elite that he may cause them hardship.  An indeed Pharaoh is tyrannical in the land and indeed he is amongst the wasteful.

 

My personal note:

The word Malaihim I translated as their elite and pointing to the people of Moses.  It points that some of the leaders and higher up of the Israelites sided with pharaoh perhaps to protect whatever privileges they may have had. The Aya also suggests that the youth of his people were more likely to believe Moses and to follow him.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

famā: so not

āmana: had faith/ believed

Note: the root is Hamza-M-N and it means safe or safety. AMANA is an action that is derived from the root and that is completed. It means: the action of making the object (not mentioned and therefore the subject and the object can be the same entity here) become safe happened by the subject (third person plural). So, it ends up meaning: theyu attained faith,

Illā: if not except

 

Dhurriyyatun: offspring

Min: of/ from

wamala-ihim: and their people/ their followers/their subordinates/ their elite

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. MALAI is derived from the root M-L-Hamza and it means filling or full. MALAI means the leaders or the big group. This is related to the full because the big group has the feeling of being full and the leaders are full of authority and supposed wisdom.  MALAI means followers or subordinates of/  HIM means them and points to Pharaoh.

 

An: that

Yaftinahum: He tests them severely/ he causes hardship to them

Note: the root is F-T-N and it means in concrete form, the melting of Gold or silver in order to know the pure from the impure or the true from the fake.

Here, it means the severe test that has hardship in it. YAFTINA means the action of subjecting the object (Hum=them) to a severe test (hardship) Is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular)

wayuḥiqqu l-lahu l-ḥaqa bikalimātihi walaw kariha l-muj`rimūna 

 

The Aya says:

And Allah makes the truth prevail through His declarations despite the opposition of the guilty.

 

My personal note:

This is a statement of truth and is a sign of the mercy of Allah on humanity.  Truth will always prevail over falsehood once it challenged it.  Any predominance of falsehood will be short-lived in the big scheme of things. 

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

Walaw: even if/ despite

Kariha: disliked/ resisted / opposition

Note: the root is K-R-H and it means doing something when unwilling and hating to do it or just disliking an entity. Therefore, conceptually, it takes the meaning of disliking an entity. For actions it takes the meaning of hating to do something and being forced to do something against will. KARIHOONA is being in a state of dislike or resistance to a matter.  KARIHA is an action that is completed.  It means the action of resistance/ disliking/ opposition happened by the subject (third person singular or plural)
