O-laa-aiy-kul-la-ze-na-la-aa-na-ho-mool-la-ho                                                                          Wa-mun-yul-aa-nil-laa-ha                                                                                                                    Fa-lun-ta-jay-da-la-hoo-na-see-raa

** Note 004:053. The word  لَعَنَ  (la-aa-na) means cursed. It is a verb in the past tense. It is correctly translated by several translators including one author in particular.

The word يَّلۡعَنِ   (yul-aa-na) means curses, i.e., is a verb in the present-participle tense. It is correctly translated by several translators but not by the above-mentioned author.

That aforesaid author M M Pickthall translated both words the same as ‘hath cursed.’  Sadly such mistranslations of the Holy Qor-aan by disregarding Arabic grammar are quite rampant and countless in many books on the market.

** Note 004:053a. The word  تَجِدُ  (ta-jay-do) is the present-participle of a verb that describes the action of an individual in the 2^nd person. Its meanings include you now or will attain, come across, confront, discover, experience, face, find, get, reap, receive, see or uncover.

The Holy Qor-aan has repeated the concept that one will reap what one sows in many verses like 004:053, 004:089, 006:165, 039:008 and 099:008-009 among others.
