1. With the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful I begin.
2. By the Dawn
3. By the ten nights
4. By the Even and the Odd *
5. And the night when it eases out
6. Is there evidence in all this for one with wisdom?
7. Did you not hear of what your God did with the nation of Aad?
8. Erum, the owners of lofty pillars*
9. The likes of which was not built in the regions
10. And Thamood who hewed out homes in the hills of the valley
11. And Pharaoh with a huge army
12. Who ravished the regions
13. So spread therein the corruptions
14. Thus your God poured over them the disaster of punishment
15. Most certainly your God is on a constant watch.
16. So as regards the man — when his God has tried him and honored him and blessed him — then he would say, “My God has honored me.”
17. And as regards when He has tried him and reduced his subsistence, then he would lament, “My God has dishonored me.”
18. The fact, however, is that you do not honor the orphan
19. And you do not exhort each other on feeding the needy
20. And orphans’ inheritance you devour greedily
21. And you love the wealth with lusty loving                                                                  22. The fact is that when the earth would be crushed to powder with a pounding
23. And your God would come with the judgment and the angels in row after row to execute it
24. And that day the Hell would be brought near. That day man will remember but for him the remembrance would be of what use is?
25. He would say, “O! I wish I had forwarded something for my life”
26. So that day no one will punish like His punishment
27. And no one will bind like His binding
28. Listen! You the contended soul
29. Return to your God, very pleasingly and well-pleased
30. So enter in the fold of My devotees
31. And enter My Paradise

1. This verse has its first eight words repeated exactly as such in 105:002.
2. The verse has used the verb تَرَ (tara) addressed to ‘you’ in the 2nd person – see 002:005.
3. This verse has used the verb تَرَ (tara) to literally translate in ‘see.’ But saying ‘Did you hear’ is more accurate as we ‘hear of’ and not ‘see’ what occurred several centuries earlier.

The second one-lettered word آ (Aa) refers to “One single male or female in 1st person.” Jointly the two-worded phrase means as stated above. Some translators misread the 2-worded لَآ as a one single 2-lettered word  لَا  and so got led to translate it as “need not.”

(===)

The Holy Qor-aan                                         090:003                                          ○ وَأَنتَ حِلُّۢ بِہَـٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ

* Note 090: 003. M Zafrulla Khan translated the word حِلُّ (Hil-loon) as “… you will alight in this city.” Allamah Nooruddin / A R Omar added to the above translation the words “as a Conqueror.” As such it was construed to be a forecast that the Holy Prophet s.a.w. who had been driven out of the city of Muk-kah under threats to life would one day return and land up as its conqueror.

(===)

The Holy Qor-aan                                        090:004                                                ○  وَوَالِدٍ۬ وَمَا وَلَد

—  a. For generations the family of the Holy Prophet s.a.w had been born citizens of Muk-kah. Their fathers were born there. Their sons were born there. The Holy Prophet s.a.w was born there. They all enjoyed the citizenship of and all rights to live in Mecca. That ended with his migration out of Mecca but he was foretold that soon he would return In fact the forecast extends to his future followers as ‘residents or even visitors’ (002:126). It came true in his lifetime. It has repeatedly come true for his followers for centuries.
—  b. Abraham and Ishmael (Allamah Nooruddin and M Zafrulla Khan)
—  c. The Holy Prophet s.a.w. who had a father, was a human being and was not a ‘Son of God’

2. That statement is factual direction – ‘You read in the name of your God who is the Most Generous.’
3. That statement is an explanation with solid reasoning. God has generously empowered you to verbalize your feelings by reading and writing. Other creature we know are not blessed that way.

Posted on June 26, 2015 by Abid

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                    114:001 to 007

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 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 like bat, cat, sat → fate, gate, hate → bait, trait → bay, nay, say → be, he, she → pet, pet, wet → bit, fit, sit → cot, dot, rot → boot, hoot, root → bout, rout → but, cut, hut, rut. An Arabic word with the vowel Fatah is best shown with a ‘u’ as in cut, rut, hut, but letter ‘a’ is often placed before ‘u’ to make it doubly sure that it is read as in cause, pause and clause and not with the 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

  • ٱلنَّاسِ — Naa-say — The mankind (= n., Factions. Folks. Mankind. People. See ٱلنَّاسِ above)

*Note 114:006. The verb يُوَسۡوِسُ  is the commencement of an unending process of imagined situations.  Everyone suffers occasional bouts of evil thoughts that stem from some smell, scene or memory.  The original thought and reaction appear out of thin air as if someone had secretly whispered to them. The time-wasting unproductive mental gymnastics sequence keeps growing, often exponentially.  The wild imagination occasionally slows down as if to evaluate the impact of the initial whispering.  Diminishing or dissipation of these wild evil thoughts is short-lived but return stronger, severer.  After a brief lull the suggestive injection invariably lunges forward with much mightier onslaught.  Successive waves of pure imagination, brief reprieves and silly daydreaming establish evil cycle.  The thought process grows more lucrative by the minute as most efforts to curb or control it fail.  Most people experience them and succumbing to them is easy like flowing in a downhill torrent.  To stop such an unproductive chain of thoughts is hard and tantamount to climbing an uphill path. Checking these useless wild flights involving unreal out-of-life episodes just imagined is not easy.  However, they are surmountable with the help of prayers, patience and persistence; see 002:046.  Verses 002:068, 002:209; 003:037, 023: 098, 025:066, 041:037 and Soorah 114 give the prayers. A heavy dose of willpower coupled with a  divine prayer effectively suppresses evil tendencies. The root to all mischief in the world is the emanation of ignoble thoughts, ideas, designs and plans.

The noun وَسۡوَاسِ  (plural) means sudden outburst of ignoble instigations against which  praying and seeking God’s protection is a proven strategy.

On the other hand is its antonym و حى (singular) which means Holy messages from the Almighty God revealed upon noble, pious, righteous and saintly individuals.

** Note 113:002. Many translations of ٱلۡفَلَقِ are ‘Cleaving’ meaning “To split, or make something split, especially along a plane of natural weakness.” They broaden the depth of the request for ‘protection from the harmful evil that is out there’ by ‘cleaving it’ or ‘tearing it apart.’

The Holy Qor-aan                                          113:003                                           ۙ      مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
