The Holy Qor-aan 108:001 to 004
Verses of the Holy Qor-aan are quoted on this site with a 6-digit number; the first three digits tell of Soorah (Chapter) and the last three digits tell of verse. Numbering includes بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ as verse #1 in every Soorah except Soorah #9. The phonetic transliteration in English is based upon words commonly pronounced as bat, cat, sat → fate, gate, hate → bait, trait → bay, nay, say → be, he, she → bet, pet, wet → bit, fit, sit → cot, dot, rot → boot, hoot, root → bout, rout → but, cut, hut, rut. An Arabic letter with the vowel Fatah is best shown with a‘u’ as in cut, hut, rut, but letter ‘a’ is often placed before ‘u’ to make it doubly sure that it is read as in cause, pause, clause and not with a sound of ‘oo’ as in hoot, root, shoot or put. All Arabic words are translated in American English and are followed by alternates which other translators have used.

In-naa au-tai-naa ka ul-kao-ther
We certainly gave you the Abundance.
- إنَّآ — In-naa– We certainly (= Combines two words. اِنَّ means ‘certainly, definitely, surely or verily. And نَآ means all of us. Joined together the word اِنَّا (in-naa) combines both meanings.

Its repetition as a part of two consecutive words in a small 4-worded verse has added exclusivity in the meanings, i.e., “It’s We and Only We Who gave you all that Abundance”)

- Expressing gratitude night and day, all the time, in everything as directed in 003:192.
- Offering appropriately (e., properly, regularly) the five daily prayers mandated upon the Believers.
- Making others to invoke blessings. This phenomenon has not been understood by some. ` The دَ رُ وْ د شَرِيْف (drood) is a prayer that is said it in every prayer although the whole is not a part of the Holy Qor-aan. Its repetitions exceeds a dozen of times very day. It has two segments that differ from each other in only one concept.
The first segment uses the word صَلٌِ (a request in the 2nd person format to make others in the 3rd person format) to invoke blessings on Mohammad, the Holy Prophet, s.a.w. This segment then uses a derivate from its Root, a verb in the past tense, quotes an example from history, and beseeches “As in the past You had made others bless him.”
The second segment uses the word بَا رِكْ (a request in the 2nd person format made to the addressee in 2nd person) to invoke blessings on the beneficiary, Mohammad, the Holy Prophet, s.a.w. This segment then uses a derivate from its Root in the past tense, quotes an example from history, and beseeches “As in the past You had blessed him.”

The Holy Qor-aan 108:004 إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلۡأَبۡتَرُ

** Note 108:004. This small Soorah has numerous interpretations and extrapolations. Its purport lies in its four simple words: You. Abundance. Enemy. Childless.
- ‘You’ refers to the Holy Prophet a.w as the primary addressee of this divine message. Secondary addressee is every Moslem, in fact every human being.
- ‘Abundance’ of good in the form of the Holy Qor-aan is what God gave. Anyone can enjoy the proliferating advantages of this Abundance by utilizing it.
- The ‘enemy’ won’t see the value of this Abundance. His eyes are covered under his own veil of animosity. He will miss taking advantage of its unending benefits.
- The enemy is destined to die ‘Childless’ like dead wood No one will succeed him. No one will perpetuate his legacy. No one will follow him or in next generation miss him.
It is an assurance. The Holy Prophet s.a.w and his companions brutalized with extreme atrocities were assured of a bright and brilliant future as practitioners of Islam.
It is a forecast. Moslems who believe and practice the teachings of the Holy Qor-aan are foretold that they would grow and multiply and their opponents would diminish into extinction.
It is a lesson. Today they are shown right. Today history shows examples of their success. Today future promises similar successes as long as they keep repeating them again and again.
It is a universal truth All human beings can attain spiritual and temporal prowess by practicing the blissful teachings. Non-followers have always fallen to destruction and oblivion.
