Salaam all,
Waallatheena kaththaboo biayatina sanastadrijuhum min haythu layaAAlamoona
The Aya says:
And as for those who rejected the veracity of our signs, We shall gradually lead them from where they are unaware.
My personal note:
The Aya brings about one of the potential side effects of declaring Allah’s signs untrue when they are clearly in our faces, that it opens the person to being led in different directions farther away from Allah as part of Allah’s punishment for their rejection. May Allah always keep our minds open to His messages and His signs.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Waallatheena: and as for those who
Kaththaboo: they declared untrue/ they rejected
Note: KATHTHABOO is derived from the root 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. KATHTHABOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of making an object (Bialhaqqi= in the binding truth/right) untrue happened by the subject (third person plural). In this context, “making the binding truth untrue” means actually declaring it untrue or denying truthfulness or strongly rejecting it.
biayatina: in Our signs/ with our signs
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. AYAT is derived from the root Hamza-Y-H and it means sign. AYATI means signs of. NA means Us or our.
Sanastadrijuhum: We shall lead them/ We shall gradually move them/ We shal direct them step by step
Note: the root is D-R-J and it means level or stepping for the action as in stepping on the same level or up or down. SANASTADRIJUHUM is an action that will happen. It means the action of making the object (HUM= them) move in step by step fashion is going to happen by the subject (first person plural) with the understanding that it is moving them to their bad outcome.
Min: from
Haythu: where
La yaAAlamoona: they do not know/ unaware
Note: LA is for negation of the action. YaAALAMOONA is derived from the root Ain-L-M and it means knowing/knowledge or knowledge of facts. YaAALAMOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of knowing the object (not mentioned) for fact is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).

Salaam all,
Wamimman khalaqna ommatun yahdoona bialhaqqi wabihi yaAAdiloona
The Aya says:
And of those who We created a group that guides by the binding truth and through it they live justly
My personal note:
In 7:159 the same wording occurred but was specific to the people of Moses. In here it opens the door that such group of people exists in all humanity while the other Aya was to prevent us from singling out the people of Moses as being either the only one that has a group with such properties but also preventing us from declaring the followers of Moses as devoid of such group.
This Aya gives us hope in all of humanity, but also in all creation.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Wamimman: and of who/ and from who/ and from amongst those who
Khalaqna: We created
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 (mimman=of whom) happened by the subject (first person plural).
Ommatun: a group/ a movement/ a subgroup/ a principled group
Note: OMMA is derived from the root Hamza-M-M and it means mother or sources/origin if said as UMM and destination if said as AMM. OMMA means in this context nation and that is because it is a group that have the same origin and is moving to the same destination. In a sense they have some shared beliefs and principles on which they move, very much like a movement or a subgroup that is united in common beliefs, actions and principles.
Yahdoona: they guide/ they lead to guidance
Note: YAHDOONA is derived from the root H-D-Y and it means gift in all it’s forms and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. YAHDOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of guiding is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural).
Bialhaqqi: by the binding truth/ by the binding right
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. ALHAQQI is derived from the root Ha-Qaf-Qaf and it means binding right where right means correct as well s what is due to one person (rights and obligations). ALHAQQ is binding right or binding truth or just right as the context suggests here.
Wabihi: and by it/ through it (The binding truth/right)
yaAAdiloona: they act justly/ they equitably conduct their lives
Note: the root is AIN-D-L and it means just or straightforward or straight without bends. Conceptually it is used to point to justice or equitable exchange and straightforward dealings. YAAaDILOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means the equitable exchange is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural) to the object (BiHI= by him , the binding truth). In this context it points to all their dealings and behaviours include equitabile exchanges and justice.
Salaam all and have a great day.

Salaam all,
Walillahi alasmao alhusna faodAAoohu biha watharoo allatheena yulhidoona fee asmaihi sayujzawna ma kanoo yaAAmaloona
The Aya says:
And to Allah belong the most beautiful names/ appellations therefore call Him by them. And leave those who manipulate in his names. They are going to be paid back for what they used to do.
My personal note:
The names of Allah point to attributes that Allah describes Himself with and likes to be called by. Here, it is important to remember that words carry concepts that have meaning in general but cannot become too specific until or unless you know about he specifics of the entity. When it comes to God, we know only that which He gave us and therefore our understanding of His names will remain conceptual until or unless we know more about His nature.
The term L-Ha-D carries with it manipulating the body in the grave so that it lies on the side and so on. The Aya describes by the negative those who manipulate Allah’s names and prmises them with a pay back that is a form of punishment. Manipulating Allah’s names can take many forms and range from the extreme of negating them to rendering them meaningless to changing the meaning beyond what the words allow to making them have a narrower range of meaning than they allow to the opposite extremen making them equal to the attributes of people.
The general rule of dealing with Allah’s names and attributes is that we should accept them with affirmation of their conceptual nature without rendering them meaningless, changing the meaning to what is not included in the linguistic background of the word or make them human like.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Walillahi: and to Allah belong
Alasmao: the names/ the appellations
Note: the root is S-M-W and it means rising. This word is used to mean many things that are related to that meaning. One of the meanings is name because when a person’s name is called, he or she would rise and respond. ALASMAO means the names or designations or appellations.
Alhusna: the most beautiful/ the best
Note: the root is Ha-S-N and it means beauty and goodness in all the aspects of beauty and goodness. ALHUSNA points to the most beautiful or to the best.
faodAAoohu: therefore address him/ therefore call him/ therefore supplicate to him
Note: Fa means therefore or so or then. ODAAooHU is derived from the root D-Ain-Y and it means calling as in calling someone for help or otherwise. OSAAooHU is an order addressed to a group. It means: the Call upon Him/ supplicate to Him
Biha: by them
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. HA means them and it points to the names and attributes of Allah.
Watharoo: and leave
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. THAROO is derived from the root W-TH-R and it means in concrete the small pieces of meat that one puts in the stew. It can also point to the foreskin that is removed in circumcision. Conceptually, it can point to something that you let go without causing you concern or harm. THAROO is an order addressed to a group. It means: leave her or let
Allatheena: those who
Yulhidoona: drift/ move apart/ lean away/ interfere/manipulate
Note: the root is L-HA-D and it is used in concrete to mean the place in the grave where the body of the dead is allowed to drift to the side rather than stay in the middle. Another concrete use is when the eye droops. Conceptually, it is used when someone or something drifts or moves apart or lean one way or another or interefere to make a situation or position different and so on. YULHIDOONA is an action that is happening or will be happening. YULHIDOONA means: the action of drifting or causing to drift is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular)
Fee: in
Asmaihi: His names/ His appellations
Note: the root is S-M-W and it means rising. This word is used to mean many things that are related to that meaning. One of the meanings is name because when a person’s name is called, he or she would rise and respond. ASMAI means names or or appellations of. HI means Him and it points to Allah
Sayujzawna: they will be rewarded/ they will be paid back
Note: the root is J-Z-Y and it means compensation for action that can be good or bad. SAYUJZAWNA is an action that is happening or will happen in the future. It means: the action of paying back is going to happen to the object (third person plural) by an undeclared subject.
Ma: what
Kanoo: they happened to be/ they were
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 or they happened to be
yaAAmaloona: they do/ to do
Note: the root is Ain-M-L and it means doing or work. YaAAaMALOONA is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of doing or making is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural). The combination of KANOO YaAAMALOON gives the impression of this: they happened to be doing or they happened to do.

The Aya says:
And We propagated for Hell many of the Jinn and the humans. They have hearts that they do not understand with and eyes that they do not see with and ears that they do not hear with. They are like livestock but even more lost. Those are the ignorant/ not paying attention.
My personal note:
The Aya does not talk that they actually do not understand or think or see or hear. It points that they do have the ability to see through things and arrive to the truth yet they chose to not use those capacities and therefore will be held responsible for them and that leads them to Hell. They are considered ignorant and not paying attention but responsible for it because they could have easily done otherwise.
They are given the description of livestock that may have to follow a leader blindly and that can be to their detriment. The Aya says that the livestock are in better shape for many reasons.
May Allah always keep our hearts, minds, eyes and ears open to His message so that we are always paying attention to him and His messages.

Salaam all,
Man yahdi Allahu fahuwa almuhtadee waman yudlil faolaika humu alkhasiroona
The Aya says:
Whoever Allah guides then he is the guided one and whoever Allah misguides then those are the losers.
My personal note
The word Muhtadee I translated as the guided but there is complexity to the form of the word. The word has a form that suggests one or two meanings or both at the same time:
1- Self guided
2- Guided for self sake
So, the guidance is for the sake of the person who receives but he or she also has to seek guidance to receive. This is also the understandings of Muslim scholars is that Hod is not haphazard in who He guides and who He misguides. He guides the the one that sincerely starts moving towards him and misguides the one who moves away or at least starts moving away. Also, it is the understanding of Muslim scholars is that the prime beneficiary of guidance is the person himself or herself. May Allah make us always open to hearing and following his message and to receive His guidance.
The other point that scholars bring about is that the person who receives guidance is in the singular while the misguided are plural. Some scholars point out that the path of guidance is one. It may be a wide path that accepts some diversity but is one path, while the paths of misguidance are many.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Man: who/ whomever
Yahdi: he guides
Note: YAHDI is derived from the root H-D-Y and it means gift in all it’s forms and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. YAHDI is an action that is being completed or will be completed. It means: the action of guiding is happening or will be happening by the subject (Allah).
Allahu: Allah
Fahuwa: then he
Almuhtadee: the guided one/ the one who gets guided
Note: the root is root H-D-Y and it means gift in all it’s forms and it carries the meaning of guidance since guidance is a gift. ALMUHTADEE is the person who is guided. It also carries with it that the person may be self guided or seeking to guide oneself.
Waman: and whoever
Yudlil: he misguides/ he causes to get lost
Note: the root is Dhad-L-L and it means getting lost as in lost the path or road in concrete terminology. Conceptually, it is used for any form of loosing the path, whether it is the path to a location or to the truth, or to be correct spiritually and so on. The imagery is very strong since loosing the path in the desert can mean near certain death. YUDLIL is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the action of causing the object (MAN= who) to get lost is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person singular)
Faolaika: then those
Humu: they
alkhasiroona: the loosers/ the defeated
Note: the root is KH-S-R and it means to lose or become defeated. KHASIROON are the loosrs and the defeated.
Salaam all and have a great day.

The Aya says:
And had We willed We would have elevated him by them, instead he stuck to the ground and followed his bias/desire, therefore his example is the example of the dog, if you burden him he pants and if you leave him he pants. That is the example of the people of declare our signs untrue, therefore narrate the stories perhaps they contemplate.
My personal note:
There is a new word in this Aya and that is the word LAHATH which I translated as panting and it is also understood as sticking the tongue out when very tired, very thirsty and so on. The example is an interesting one in that when the message leaves no effect on a person then that is a great loss to that person that they made themselves completely insensitive to the depth and to the touch that the message has for us as humans. May Allah always open our hearts and minds to His message so we always react positively to it.
The other issue is that the reason this happened to this person is that he preferred to stick to the ground and follow his bias instead of following the sign from Allah and therefore he ended up a big loser. It is a message for all of us to control our egos and biases and be open to change them once the truth becomes clear to us.

Salaaam all,
Waotlu AAalayhim nabaa allathee ataynahu ayatina fainsalakha minha faatbaAAahu alshshaytanu fakana mina alghaweena
The Aya says:
And recite upon them the news of the one to whom We brought our signs so he became detached from them so Satan joined and followed him so he became amongst the ones in demise.
My personal note:
The Aya brings the story of someone who received clear signs from God and he became detached completely from them although he knew that they were clear signs from God and so he opened himself to the works and schemes of Satan and became a loser.
The word used is derived from the root S-L-KH and it means skinning which suggests that it was something strongly attached and linked and then it became detached with effort because the skinning is not an effortless work.
The message is that if we do receive something from God and it is clear then detaching ourselves from it for some gain will open us to the works of Satan and make us vulnerable to going deeper and further from Allah. May Allah always open our hearts and minds to His messages always.
The books of tafsir mention several potential personalities that this applies to and it could apply to all of them at differing degrees. The main one is Balaam who was mentioned in the old testament. The Aya however applies to anyone who fits the description.

And as your Nurturing Lord took from the backs of the children of Adam their offspring and made them witness upon themselves? “Am I not your Nurturing Lord?!” They responded: “But of course we testified”. That you (plural) claim on the day of the resurrection we were not paying attention to that.
My personal note:
This is an important Aya because it informs us of a meeting of our souls when they were created with our nurturing Lord where we had this encounter and testimony. Then it reminds us that we should always pay attention to that memory that is deep in our subconsciousness. So, this kinds of informs us that deep in our subconsciousness there is a calling for God that we should pay attention and not suppress because we will have to answer to it on the day of the resurrection. This is what Muslims call Fitra or the innate belief and longing for God deep inside all of us.

My personal note:
This is an important Aya because it informs us of a meeting of our souls when they were created with our nurturing Lord where we had this encounter and testimony. Then it reminds us that we should always pay attention to that memory that is deep in our subconsciousness. So, this kinds of informs us that deep in our subconsciousness there is a calling for God that we should pay attention and not suppress because we will have to answer to it on the day of the resurrection. This is what Muslims call Fitra or the innate belief and longing for God deep inside all of us.

The Aya says:
And as we uprooted the mountain above them as if a canopy and they thought that it was going to fall on them: “Take what We brought to you (plural) with strength and remember/mention what is in it, perhaps you will act consciously”
My personal note:

Salaam all,
Waallatheena yumassikoona bialkitabi waaqamoo alssalata inna la nudeeAAu ajra almusliheena
The Aya says:
While those who hold tight to the book including maintain the ritual prayer, We indeed do not let go the reward of the do gooders.
My personal note:
This Aya brings into perspective the important criteria for receiving the promise of forgiveness from God and that it is linked to adhering to the book of God and maintaining the ritual prayer. That is why Muslim scholars insist on the utmost importance of maintaining the ritual prayer.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Waallatheena: while those who
Yumassikoona: hold on tight
Note: the root is M-S-K and it means skin or leather. This is the concrete meaning of the word. The concept is holding onto something or someone, very much as the skin is held together or as the skin is the organ of the body that is held usually. YAMASSIKOONA is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the action of holding tight to the object (BIALKITABI- by the book) is happening or will be happening by the subject (third person plural)
Bialkitabi: by the book/ in the book
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. AlKITAB is derived from the root K-T-B and it means putting things together as in grouping the herd together or closing the lips or writing (the most common use), because in writing, one puts the letters and the ideas together. ALKITABI means, the process of writing or the book or anything related to it from the ideas to the ink and paper to the place where all is put together.
Waaqamoo: and they established/ and they kept upright/ and they maintained/ including they maintained
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. AQAMOO is derived from the root Qaf-W-M and it means standing upright or standing. The upright can be in all planes of position and for a horizontal dimension it means straight. AQAMOO is an action that is completed. It means: the action of establishing or keeping upright or maintaining happened by the subject (third person plural)
Alssalata: the ritual prayer
Note: the root is Sad-L-Y 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 this context, ALSSALATA is the ritual prayer.
Inna: We/ We indeed
La nudeeAAu: do not make lost/ Do not let go/ We do not abandon
Note: LA is for negation of the action that comes after. NUDeeAAu is derived from the root Dhad-Y- Ain and it means in one concrete form loosing something or abandoning it. In another concrete form it takes the meaning of work for living as in farming or industry and so on. The two meanings are related in the fact that they are opposites and that happens in Arabic. The context of the sentence defines which of the meanings is to be used. In the Qur’an, the abandon or loss is the meaning that was used almost exclusively, including here. NUDeeAAu is an action that is happening or will be happening. It means: the making lost or abandoned of an object (AJRA= compensation of) is happening or will be happening by the subject (first person plural).
Ajra: compensation of/ reward of
Note: AJRA is derived from the root Hamza-J-R and it means compensation for work done. AJRA means compensation of work or just compensation or reward.
Almusliheena: the ones who do good deeds/ who do acts to benefit others/ the do gooders
Note: ALMUSLIHEENA is derived from the root Sad-L-Ha and it means becoming helpful or useful in a good direction. This means mainly: becoming one of benefit as in benefiting oneself and others. Included in this meaning is becoming fixed after having been broken. ALMUSLIHEENA then here are the ones who do the deeds of goodness/ benefit and that would be the definition of the righteous.
