• تَكُنۡ — Ta-koon — Will be (= Become; develop; grow; rise; spring up. A very serious difference exists in translating this word as shown in our Commentary titled as ‘The Divine Forecasts Need No Human Assist’. The accurate translation is ‘there will be.’ The western and westernized translations are ‘let there be’ that suggest that Man has to do something to let the forecast happen and the event occur)

• يَّدۡعُوۡنَ — Yud-oo-na — They call (= v., pres., pl., 3^rd person. Address; beg; beseech; call on or upon; draw attention; invite; invoke; pray. The word in different contexts also means allure; appeal; attract; beckon; charm; exhort; guide; lure; summon; tempt; urge; usher)

                Next seven words repeated in 003:115 in the 3^rd person format,                                 and their gist in 003:111 in 2^nd person format, verbalize an                                           important concept about Islam. See our Commentary                                            titled the ‘Islam – 209 – Commandments and Prohibitions‘

• يَاۡمُرُوۡنَ — Yau-mo-roo-na — They urge (= v., pres., pl., 3^rd person.

However, these acts are best if done fairly, gently,  persuasively and not arbitrarily since the Holy Qor-aan requires in the verse 016:126 to ‘call to your God’s way with wisdom and goodly exhortation.’ See our aforesaid Commentary)
• بِ — Bay…(il) — With (= Literally the word  بِ  means ‘with’)

A/t/a, ‘Who shall attain to their goal’ and ‘felicity.’ The successful people are defined as taking 6 steps [023:002 to 012] which    resembles the 8 steps by those ‘who pray’ and will be ‘honored’ in the paradise [070:024 to 036].

** Note 003:105. A stoppage or prohibition from something can possibly be (a) total, (b) attempted, or (c) condemned.

Total stoppage is by an act to block, counteract, deter, forbid, prevent, mandate, order, prohibit, restrain or stop.

Attempted stoppage is by an act to avert, forestall, limit, obstruct, push back, repel, resist, restrict or thwart.

Condemned stoppage is by a word of mouth to check, curtail, decry, denounce, deny, dissuade, negate, oppose, preach, profess, rebuke or reject.

A stoppage or prohibition is best if not done arbitrarily or capriciously. It must be done fairly, gently, persuasively like the doing of a good thing as mandated by the Holy Qor-aan verse 016:126 to “Call to your God’s way with wisdom and good sense.” It is by a gentle exhortation, exciting and exhilarating by one in the lead, and by a persistent persuasion, nudging and pushing forward by one in the rear.
