Posted on December 5, 2015 by Abid

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                             002:161

 

اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ تَابُوۡا وَاَصۡلَحُوۡا وَبَيَّـنُوۡا فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَ تُوۡبُ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ وَاَنَا التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيۡمُ

              

Il-lul-la-zee-na-taa-boo-wus-la-hoo-wa-buy-ya-noo                                                                   Fa-olaa-aiy-ka-atoo-bo-alai-him                                                                                                     Wa-anut-tuw-waa-boor-ra-heem.

 

Except those who repented and reformed and made things clear.                    Then it is these that I turn to forgive them.                                                                        And I am the Utmost Forgiving, the Utmost Merciful.

 

The first three words are repeated in 002:161 and 005:035

  • اِلَّا — Il-la…(ul) — Except (= Apart from; but; besides; excluding; save; unless)
  • ٱلَّذِينَ — Ul-la-zee-na — Those who (= pl., m., 3rd person. All those articles, things or persons)

Repentance Requires Reformation is the rule. It’s repeated often. See Note 002:038.

  • تَابُوۡا — Taa-boo — Repented (= v., past., pl., m., 3rd person. Asked, begged and prayed to be excused, forgiven and pardoned. Expressed regret. Felt remorseful. Invoked compassion, kindness and  mercy by admitting and confessing fault, guilt and sin. Turned repentant.  See Note 002:038)
  • وَ — Wa —  And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses; additionally; but; also; more over; though; when; while; yet; whereupon)
  • اَصۡلَحُوۡا — Us-la-hoo — Reformed (= v., past., pl., m., 3rd person. Corrected; improved; made amends; reformed; did righteous deeds)
  • وَ — Wa — And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses. See وَ  above)
  • بَيَّـنُوۡا — Buy-ya-noo –Made clear (= v., past., pl., m., 3rd person. Declared openly. Explained. Made clear. Made Truth known. Manifested the stance towards the Truth. Opened what was hidden before)
  • فَ — Fa — Then (= Consequently; as a result; so; then; thus; therefore; yet)
  • اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ — Olaa-aiy-ka — All (= Aforesaid facts or persons. Here those who ‘repent’)
  • اَ تُوۡبُ — Atoo-bo — I turn to forgive (= v., pres., s., 1st person. I turn in extreme compassion, kindness and mercy to forgive man’s mistakes, sins and wrongs. See Note 002:038. This Rule of Universal Application stated by a verb in the present tense is translated inaccurately when done in the past tense such as ‘forgave,’ ‘forgiven,’ ‘pardoned,’ ‘redeemed,’ ‘relented,’ ‘showed mercy’ or ‘turned in mercy’)
  • عَلَيۡ — Alai — On (= Above; against; before; for; on top of; over; to; upon)
  • هِمۡ — Him — Them (= pro., pl., m., 3rd person. Refers to aforesaid persons)
  • وَ — Wa — And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses. See وَ  above)
  • اَنَا — Ana…(ut) — I (= pro., pl., 1st person. Us. Refers to the Almighty God)
  • التَّوَّابُ — Tuw-waab .. (or) — Utmost Forgiving (= superlative form indicates the greatest, the highest, and highlights that none more than Him is ready to turn in compassion and mercy to accept the regret, remorse and repentance of man. Forgives man who admits faults, guilt or sins. A/t/a, Forgiving; Oft-Returning; Returning in utmost compassion; Relenting. See Note 002:038)
  • الرَّحِيۡمُ — Ra-heem — Utmost Merciful (= superlative form indicates the greatest, the highest, the most, and highlights that none more than Him shows mercy again and again, continually, incessantly and indefinitely like the endlessly and perpetually incoming waves from the oceans; Merciful Forever. See 001:001)

 

** 002:161: One’s resolve to be repentant essentially requires that it be followed by his actual action of amending his prior practices. That is why the word  تَابُوۡا  (taa-boo) meaning they repented has been followed by the word  اَصۡلَحُوۡا  (us-la-hoo) meaning they made amends; see Note 002:038.

This combination of a resolve followed by a congruent action has been repeated in the Holy Qor-aan several times such as 002:161, 005:040,

Acknowledgements – 5th – To Others

Acknowledgements – 5th – To Others

All my nearly 80 years of life I have been a student learning languages, literature and law by studying articles, books, essays, judgments, magazines, opinions, stories, and translations in Arabic, English, Punjabi and Urdu.   I have used the Encyclopedias, Mulla’s “Mahomedan Law” and even visited Wikipedia.   I admit that most of what I read and the source is forgotten or buried deep in my memory.   I can’t always recall what, when, where, why and how I learnt any fact, figure or fallacy.   I acknowledge, however, that all my acquired knowledge is learnt.

Islamic Jurisprudence is one example I read in several books and recall only some of it.   Initially it developed in the Arabic in which are the Holy Qor-aan and Ahadeeth – the reports of the acts and sayings of the Holy Prophet s.a.w.   As jurisprudence flourished in Arabic in Arab states like Syria, Egypt, Morocco and Spain, it was also translated in Persian (farsi) presenting the Shiite view.   The medieval ages saw its translations in the European languages including the French, Latin and Spanish.   When the British Empire came to rule India and parts of the Southeast Asia where Moslems applied Moslem Law to all personal and family affairs, the Brits needed to know what was that law.   Thus translations from French to English grew. It was further extrapolated under the dominance of the British-India courts and their judgments that in some cases went up to the Privy Council in England.

Transliterating Arabic terms is another example of how the European languages used apostrophe coma in doing so, such as the word Qur’aan.   This type of use in the British English is not common and has no place at all in the phonetically spelled American English.   I did not need a Persian or French conduit using apostrophes to write for accurate pronunciation of Arabic words or terms.   I have transliterated the Arabic into American English phonetically and spelled the words as Arabs speak — like Qor-aan and Isslaam — even when the likes of Google have universalized different transliterations.

 
Literature is expressing in unique combination of words and phrases the known ideas and concepts.   Its expansion rests upon continually adding, subtracting, enlarging or building upon prior info.   It is done in all cultures, in academic writings, religious decrees and judicial pronouncements.   That is why I have admitted upfront that I can’t always recall a source when I read of a fact first.   That is why I reproduced a quotation in original if I could recall who was my first time source.   That is why I state that I present facts I learnt sometime in the past which got stuck in memory.   That is why I verbalize in my own choice of words the accumulations percolating in my mind.   That is why I have drawn the simplest possible conclusions from the facts as stored in memory.   Time could have fogged my memory, and others could differently see them today than before.   That is why I put on this site words I choose as were found legal, logical, ethical and reasonable.   That is why I take full responsibility for the accuracy of facts I have stated with maximum care.

Acknowledgements – 4th – To Scholars

 

By 1999 I had started writing in American English what I believed was conveyed in the Holy Qor-aan as distinguished from what its various translations projected and promoted advancing their own views and sectarian biases as the Shia, Sunny or other schools.  A few years later a chapter-President and some other so-called notables appalled me with their personal ignorance coupled with their officialdom titles to insist that their ignorance was the correct interpretation of the Holy Qor-aan because their clerics had told them so.  For example, a clergyman in teaching the congregation taught that the Prohibition ‘foohsh‘ was a ‘forbidden’ act and ‘no-haa’ was a ‘wicked’ act.  The fact is that the ‘foohsh‘ is an inherently wicked thing like spitting on the face of someone, and ‘no-haa‘ (See our Commentary Commandments and Prohibitions) is a prohibition such as the law against spitting on a policeman when discharging duty in public.  I asked the speaker to repeat what he had said to ensure that we heard what he intended.  But the local President intervened by arguing that I had no right to put the Reverend on the spot (and highlight his ignorance).  Another example has been my asking many English-speaking persons to explain to me what they understood from “Hurrying on in fright, raising up their heads, their gaze not returning to them, and their minds utterly void” [One printed translation of 014:044]; but few of those could ever do that.

Around 2008, a congregation collectively prayed during a Friday prayer that may Allah enable me to bring to them the best translation by comparing various others and the additions, subtractions or intricacies seeded in furtherance of their authors’ respective sectarian views. Bell’s Introduction of the quran QurŸån into Latin translated by an Englishman, Robert of Ketton (often deformed into Robertus Retenensis) was completed by July 1143. I believe all those who have ever ventured the noble task of translating the Holy Qor-aan had good intentions even when they had translated it differently as shown in our commentary titled as The Holy Qor-aan and Different Translations.  The background from which they came had inadvertently found place in their well-intentioned toils.  With the passage of time my collection of numerous translations has kept growing.  As of today I acknowledge to use dictionaries, on-line tools and compare the views expressed, the English vocabulary used and other languages I know in the following publications.
