WajaAAaloo lillahi shurakaa aljinna wakhalaqahum wakharaqoo lahu baneena wabanatin bighayri AAilmin subhanahu wataAAala AAamma yasifoona

The Aya says:
And they made for Allah partners of the Jinn/ hidden entities, while He created them, and they faslely fashioned for Him sons and daughters without knowledge. Gxalted is He and rising way above what they describe.

My personal note:
The term WAKHARAQOO carries the visual of making holes in something and this conceptually is used to point to them making up stories or fashioning stories that are untrue. In this case, it is about sons and daughters.

The Aya ends up with SUBHAN and this term is often used when someone is attributing to God something that is inappropriate. The term suggests that Allah is glorified from such lowness. The term is followed by TaAAaLA with suggests also rising way above what is described. So, the combination suggest that Allah is not only axalted above what they say but still rising much further from such low description.

Translation of the transliterated words:
WajaAAaloo: and/including they made into/ transformed into/ formed into
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.

JaAAaLOO 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.

Wahuwa allathee anzala mina alssamai maan faakhrajna bihi nabata kulli shayin faakhrajna minhu khadiran nukhriju minhu habban mutarakiban wamina alnnakhli min talAAiha qinwanun daniyatun wajannatin min aAAnabin waalzzaytoona waalrrummana mushtabihan waghayra mutashabihin onthuroo ila thamarihi itha athmara wayanAAihi inna fee thalikum laayatin liqawmin yuminoona

The Aya says:
And He the one who brought water down from the sky, so We made come out by it (the water) growth/ planting of everything. So We made come out of it greenery, from which We made come out seeds one on top of another and from the dates, from their flowering bunches hanging near, and gardens of grapes and the olive and the pomegranate looking alije and not looking alike. Look (o people) at it’s fruition when it bears fruit and it’s maturation. Indeed in this all are signs for people who make themselves safe.

My personal note:
The statement “And We made come out by it (the water) growth/planting of everything” links the growth of the plants directly to the water as the cause of that growth. This is significant because it makes the action of God of making the plant come out an indirect action through His action of making the water come down.

This is an important concept that some Muslims may forget and that is Allah links his actions to the causes and factors that we know on this earth. It is very rare, although it happens in the form of miracles and so on, for His actions to be direct actions irrespective of the causes that are on earth or in the sky or heaven. This also means that we are directly responsible for our own actions. We cannot blame them upon God.

Wahuwa allathee anshaakum min nafsin wahidatin famustaqarrun wamustawdaAAun qad fassalna alayati liqawmin yafqahoona

The Aya says:
And He is the one who initiated you (plural) from one self, then place/time of settling and place/time of leaving/storing. Indeed We made the Ayat distinct for people who understand.

My personal note:

The contrasting of Mutaqarr and MustawadaAA is interesting and brought the attention of the people of Tafsir. Linguistically mustaqarr would be the place/time of staying put. The people of Tafsir had several understanding of that term including the womb, but also the surface of the earth and the ground of the earth. Basically covering the stages of our human life from being in our mother’s womb to living to dying and being burried somewhere on earth. All those meanings apply and fall within the understanding of the term MUSTAQARR.

MUSTAWDaAA can take the meaning of place/time of storage but also the place and time of saying good bye or leaving or letting go. This was also understood by the people of Tafsir in different ways mainly amongst them being in the sperm of the humanity. This understanding actually covers the meaning of storage and of letting go at the same time since we are stored for a time and then we are let go.

MUSTAQARRUN means place or time or place and time of reaching settlement.

Faliqu alisbahi wajaAAala allayla sakanan waalshshamsa waalqamara husbanan thalika taqdeeru alAAazeezi alAAaleemi

The Aya says:
One who cracks open the morning light, and He made the night calmness, and the sun and the moon calculation. That is setting of limits of the dominantly strong, the knowing.

My personal note:

The Aya uses the root of F-L-Qaf as cracking open the morning or morning light. Then it brings our attention that Allah made the night calmness in the sense of rest and relaxation and so on. He also brought to our attention that the sun and the moon were considered calculatio and this points to the fact that we calculate time by the sun and the moon. Islamically, our prayer times are determined by the position of the sun in the sky and the days are determined by the sun while the months are determined by the moon.

I translated the term TAQDEER as setting of limits which is within the range of the meaning. Another way of understanding it is as “measuring” and that is also within the range of the meaning. I chose “Setting of limits” because that understanding not only covers the measurement but also tells us that Allah did set the limits and knows the measure at the same time.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Faliqu: one who cracks open/ opener/ creator
Note: the root is F-L-QAF and it means cracking something open. It is used for the cracks in the feet. It is also used for cracking open the egg and the new chicks come out. Conceptually, it is used often used for things that crack open and a new product or creation emerges. FALIQU means: one who cracks open. It can also mean creator because that is what happens when things crack open, some new beginnings.
Alisbahi: the lighting/ the morning light
Note: ALISBAH is derived from the root Sad-B-Ha and it means coming of the morning in concrete. The term can also mean become. On a conceptual level, the two meanings are related since the night becomes day and so forth. ALISBAHA is the morning light.

wajaAAala: and/including He made into/ transformed into/ formed into
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.

Inna Allaha faliqu alhabbi waalnnawa yukhriju alhayya mina almayyiti wamukhriju almayyiti mina alhayyi thalikumu Allahu faanna tufakoona

The Aya says:

Indeed Allah is the one who cracks open the seed and the fruit pit, including He makes the living come out of the dead and makes the dead come out of the living. This is Allah for you (plural) so how come you get mislead?!

My personal note:
The term FALIQ is often used for cracking open of an entity. This is often used for making way for a new entity to come out of this issue of cracking open. So, this can apply to the egg that hatches and brings about a new bird. In this issue, it is talking about the cracking open of the seeds of grain and fruits in order to have a new plant sprout. The term F-L-Qaf is used for creation because creation mostly involves cracking open an entity to make a new one come out.

This Aya mentions that Allah is the one who cracks open the seeds to make the plants sprout. This action does not have to be understood as necessarily a direct action of God. The term also allows for understanding the action as happening indirectly from God. Meaning that God makes the issue happen through a process that Allah had created in place.

The Aya talks about the living come out of the dead and the dead come out of the living. In this sense, one may argue that the seed is not necessarily dead but dormant or something like that. In Arabic, linguistically, death is defined by inactivity and life is defined as activity.

The last word of the Aya is derived from the term Hamza-F-K and it is used for untruth and for misleading information or information turned upside down. In concrete, It is used for land that missed the rain, but also for land turned upside down by earthquake or other disaster or drowned by floods.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Salaam all, this is 6:94


Walaqad jitumoona furada kama khalaqnakum awwala marratin wataraktum ma khawwalnakum waraa thuhoorikum wama nara maAAakum shufaAAaakumu allatheena zaAAamtum annahum feekum shurakao laqad taqattaAAa baynakum wadalla AAankum ma kuntum tazAAumoona

The Aya says:
And you (plural) indeed came to us one by one as We created you the first time, and you left what we put under your authority/responsibility behind your backs. And We do not see your intercessors with you, the ones whom you claimed to be partners in you. Indeed it was ruptured between you, and became lost from you what you used to claim.

My personal note:

The Aya continues the theme of the previous Aya and continues the dialogue of the angels with the unjust at their time of death. It reminds.

The word KHAWWALNAKUM is derived from the root KH-W-L and it is used for maternal uncle, but also for anyone or anything that is under the general authority and maintenance of the person. This is related to the sheepherder taking care of the sheep while he also has authority over them and so on.

The Aya reminds people who make partners to Allah that they will face Allah all alone without any interceder even though they claimed their intercession in this life. The only intercession that is allowed is the one that Allah sanctions and the only person deserving of it is the person who sincerely adheres to the monotheism principles.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Walaqad: and indeed
Jitumoona: you (plural) came to us
Note: the root is J-Y-Hamza and it means coming. One concrete word that is derived from this word is the pool where the rain water comes. JITUMOONA is an action that is completed and that is derived from the root. It means that the action of coming happened by the subject (second person plural) to the object (NA=us)

Furada: singles/ one by one
Note: The root is F-R-D and it means single or alone or just one. Conceptually, it is used for entities that are alone or single or entities that are unique in one aspect or another.

Kama: as/ like
Khalaqnakum: We created you (plural)
Note: the root is KH-L-Qaf and it means creating and creation. The word has many little other meanings that revolve around that theme, in concrete, it means the smoothened rock that was shaped that way, so it has the cutting and shaping and making things as part of the meaning as well as creating out of nothing as well. KHALAQNA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of creating or shaping the object (KUM= plural you) happened by the subject (first person plural).

Awwala: first/ foremost
Note: AWWAL is derived from the root Hamza-W-L and it means ultimate as a concept and takes different shapes and specific meanings according to the situation including first and so on. It often takes the meaning of first because that is the most ultimate. AWWALA means first of or first amongst or most ultimate of or foremost.
Marratin: time/ pass
Note: the root is M-R-R and it means passing or passage. Some of the concrete words from this root mean bitter plants or just bitter. The relationship between bitter and passing is the fact that the sheep and goats of the Bedouin herders probably passed those plants rather than sticking to them to eat them. MARRATIN means one pass and this in turn means, one time.

wataraktum: and you (plural) left/ abandoned

Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after.

The word has a conceptual meaning of something hidden or covered and so on so that it is not clearly apparent to be seen right away. WARAA means behind of

The Aya says:
And who is more unjust than one who concoted upon Allah untruth or said: It was inspired to me while not a thing was inspired to him, as well as one who says: I will bring down (A book) similar to what Allah brought down. And if you (singular) see as the unjust are in the drownings of death while the angels outstretching their arms: make yourselves come out. Today, you (plural) are paid back suffering of the humiliation by what you used to say upon Allah of other than truth, and you were moving aloof from His signs, seeking grandiosity.

My personal note:
The imagery of the angels holding outstretched their arms is very significant as if they are waiting for the soul to come out as the person dies and then they are ready to take the soul to it’s destination.

In Arabic we use the term Rooh to designate to the soul. However, the Qur’an uses the term NAFS or self often to talk about the body, body and soul or soul alone with the context deciding which is being talkd about.

Translation of the transliterated words:


Waman: and who ?
Athlamu: more unjust
Note: the root is 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. ATHLAMU means, in this context, more unjust.

Salaam all,


Wahatha kitabun anzalnahu mubarakun musaddiqu allathee bayna yadayhi walitunthira omma alqura waman hawlaha waallatheena yuminoona bialakhirati yuminoona bihi wahum AAala salatihim yuhafithoona

The Aya says:
And this is a book We brought down, blessed, declaring true the one already present, and in order that you (O Muhammad) warn the mother of the towns and whoever around her. And those who make themselves safe in the next life, make themselves safe in him (the book that came down on Muhammad) and they, upon their prayers, they safe keep.

My personal note:
I translated the term that literally means “The which is in between his hands” to “The one already present” because that is the idiomatic use of such construct and in this case, it is pointing to the book of Moses and Jesus and David and so on.

The term Omm Al Qura means literally, the mother of the villages or mother of the towns. In a sense, the use of the term OMM signifies extra importance over other towns around her or that it may have been the original town. In this statement the Omm Al Qura was pointing to Mecca and in that it points to it’s already important significance in relation to the other towns of Arabia that are around her.

The term of “Upon their prayers, they safe keep” points probably to all the following:

Wama qadaroo Allaha haqqa qadrihi ith qaloo ma anzala Allahu AAala basharin min shayin qul man anzala alkitaba allathee jaa bihi moosa nooran wahudan lilnnasi tajAAaloonahu qarateesa tubdoonaha watukhfoona katheeran waAAullimtum ma lam taAAlamoo antum wala abaokum quli Allahu thumma tharhum fee khawdihim yalAAaboona

The Aya says:
And they did not deal with Allah according to His rightful due as they said: Allah did not bring down upon a human a thing. Say (O Muhammad): Who brought down the book that Moses came with, light and guidance to the people? You make it into paper/parchment that you reveal while hiding a lot. And you (plural) were taught what you did not know, neither you nor your ancestors. Respond (O Muhammad): Allah. Then leave them, in their ill devised venture, play.

My personal note:

The root Qaf-D-R is interesting in the fact that it’s range of meaning and coverage covers between setting limits to measuring those limits to acting according to those measures and so on. The context determines on where in the range of meaning the word fits. In this context the term (Wama qadaroo Allaha haqqa Qadrihi) covers the part of the range of acting according to Allah’s due. This is so because no human can ever measure God nor is Allah is ever measurable nor are we ever to set limit upon Him. However, we can strive to act towards Him according to what is appropriate for His majesty and greatness. In that as well, we can never give Him his due.

Allah, in His generosity to us, just wants us to work on it to the best of our abilities and potentials, and He accepts our works even though we will always fall short. Those are the works that make us deserving of His mercy and love and protection.

My personal note:
The Aya points out that the guidance that came to the other prophets is the same that the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is to follow. This means that they have the same belief system even if some of the rulings differed because of different situations and times.
