The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                                    003:081

 

وَلَا يَاۡمُرَكُمۡ اَنۡ تَتَّخِذُوا الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةَ وَالنَّبِيّٖنَ اَرۡبَابًا‌ ؕ اَيَاۡمُرُكُمۡ بِالۡكُفۡرِ بَعۡدَ اِذۡ اَنۡـتُمۡ مُّسۡلِمُوۡنَ‏   

 

Wa-laa-yau-mo-ro-koom-un-tut-ta-khay-zool                                                                             Ma-laa-aiy-ka-ta-wun-na-be-yee-na-ur-baa-bun                                                                         Aa- yau-mo-ro-koom-bil-koof-ray                                                                                                     Bau-da-iz-un-toom-mos-lay-moo-n.

 

And He does not entice you to take                                                                                        The angels and the Prophets as Gods.                                                                                 Would He incite you to Disbelief                                                                                            After when you are submissive?

  •  لَا — Laa — Does not (= Absolute denial; never; not at all; total negation)
  • يَاۡ مُرُ — Yau-mo-ro — He entices (= v., pres., s., 3rd person. Here this word describes God Almighty’s actions towards man. God can and does administer, admonish, bid, command, compel, dictate, direct, enforce, enjoin, exhort, force, impose, instruct, lay down as law, lead down the path, order, move, motivate, spur, prompt, teach and urge. We the men can’t praise God enough and can describe His acts by any superlative we can find. But it is improper in any translation to clothe man’s actions with a superlative like those which are an exclusive prerogative of the Almighty God in His doing them authoritatively, forcefully, and mightily though always judicially. For translations of this word when used to describe man’s actions or Satan’s actions towards man, see our  commentary titled as the ‘Commandments and Prohibitions‘)
