 آلآنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

āl`āna waqad ʿaṣayta qablu wakunta mina l-muf`sidīna

 

The Aya says:

Now, While you disobeyed before and were one of the bad doers?!

 

My personal note:

There is a time when it is too late.  Qur’anically speaking, it is when the person is seeing the end clearly.  In this case he only repented when the drowning took hold of him and he knew he will die in a few minutes.  That was too late.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

 

āl`āna: now?!

Waqad: While

ʿaṣayta: you (singular) disobeyed

Note:  AAaSAYTA is derived from the root Ain-Sad-Y and it means to go against order/to resist an order, for the verb and the action for the noun. The concrete word is Stick and Staff. The relationship to the above abstract meaning is the fact that the Stick is rigid and unbending, as well as the fact the Stick got detached from the tree. AAaSAYTA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of disobeying the object (not declared but points to Allah indirectly) happened by the subject (second person singular). 

 

Qablu: before

Note: the root Qaf-B-L and it means front. This is then carried in time or space or any plain of thought. If it is in time, then front means before, while place would be in front. It is used to mean acceptance and reception since we receive and accept using our fronts. QABLU here is front in time and that is before.

 

Wakunta: and you were/ you happened to be

Note: WA here for starting a connected statement.  KUNTA is derived from the root K-W-N and it means being.  KUNTA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means: the action of being happened by the subject (second personal singular).

وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِيۤ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُ بَغْياً وَعَدْواً حَتَّىٰ إِذَآ أَدْرَكَهُ ٱلْغَرَقُ قَالَ آمَنتُ أَنَّهُ لاۤ إِلِـٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱلَّذِي آمَنَتْ بِهِ بَنوۤاْ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنَاْ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

 

wajāwaznā bibanī is`rāīla l-baḥra fa-atbaʿahum fir`ʿawnu wajunūduhu baghyan waʿadwan ḥattā idhā adrakahu l-gharaqu qāla āmantu annahu lā ilāha illā alladhī āmanat bihi banū is`rāīla wa-anā mina l-mus`limīna

The Aya says:

And we made the children of Israel cross the sea, so Pharaoh and his helpers followed them an act of corruption and aggression.  Untill when the drowning got hold of him he said I have faith that there is no one worthy of worship except the one that the children of Israel have faith in and I am one of the muslims.

 

My personal note:

The term Baghy can be used for aggression but it is closer to issues of morality and corruption.  The verse contrasted it with the term AAadwan which is about crossing boundaries and aggression mainly.  So, the Aya declared the move by pharaoh as corrupt/ immoral and aggressive/ transgressive.  It is corrupt because he lied to his people and aggressive because he should have let them go in peace.

 

The other really important thing is that Pharaoh turned around and said the words of faith and Islam but only when drowning had hold of him and he knew he was going to die within seconds or minutes.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

wajāwaznā: and We crossed/ And We helped cross

Note: WA is for beginning of a sentence that is related to what was before.  JAWAZNA is derived from the root J-W-Z and it means crossing a road or a river or any obstacle in the abstract sense.
