The Holy Qor-aan                                         104: 004                                     يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ ۥۤ أَخۡلَدَهُ ۥ

* Note 104:004. Most translations of مَالَهُ construe it as a combination of two words and state as shown above, and that logically does get connected to the word مَالاً۬ in the previous verse. However, a much broader, more comprehensive and enormously rich meanings come up when مَالَهُ is construed as a combination of three words — being مَا meaning ‘all that or whatever’ plus لَ meaning ‘belonging to, for, or owned by’ plus هُ meaning ‘his or him’ — because then مَالَهُ will mean ‘All that belongs to him’ — not just the wealth he has stored.
