Soo-ra-tool-Ba-qa-rauh                               Chapter # 002                                  سُوۡرَةُ البَقَرَة

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.

(===)

The Holy Qor-aan                                         002:001                                       ○ بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ‏‏

                                Bay  iss-may  il-laa-hay  ir-rah-maa-nay  ir-ra-hee-m                                                                     (= Bis-mil  laa-hir  rah-maa-nir  ra-hee-m)                                    

With the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful I begin.

(Beginning, commencing, starting)

  • بِ — Bay … (is) — With (= The best translation of the word بِ is ‘with’ but some  contexts may warrant its translation as ‘in’)
  • سۡمِ — Iss-may … (il) — The name of (= The way to be addressed or called)
  • اللهِ — Laa-hay … (ir) — Allah (= The Almighty God; the One Only worthy of worship)
  • الرَّحۡمٰنِ — Rah-maa-n … (ir) — The Most Beneficent (= adj., Compassionate. Gracious. None more  than Him benefits. As n: The One Who fully, totally and wholly benefits all, to the maximum without any  condition, limitation or restriction. The Greatest and Highest Benefactor Who wills goodness and mercy to all His creation. See Note 001:001)
  • الرَّحِيۡمِ — Ra-hee-m — The Most Merciful (= adj., Superlative form indicates the Greatest Merciful. Merciful Forever. The word floodlights that none more than Him shows kindness and mercy, continually and incessantly like perpetually coming ocean waves)

O-laa-aiy-ka  alaa  ho-daum  min-r  raub-bay  him
 Wa  o-laa-aiy-ka  ho-mo  ol-moof-lay-hoon.

 

All of these are on a Guidance from their God, the Provident.
 And all of them are the Successful.

See Commentary Iss-laam and 002:003)
  • مِّنۡ — Min … (r) — From (= From the class, category or count of; out of)
  • رَبِّ — Rub-bay — GOD / LORD (= The Almighty Allah who fills needs of all creatures; Cherisher; Creator; Guardian; Lord Provident; Master; The Only One Who provides all that sustains life. The Ultimate Provider of air, water, food and whatever we and all other creatures need to live and subsist)
  • هِمۡ — Him — Them (= pro., pl., m., 3rd person. Refers to aforesaid believers)

                       The text in the next four (4) words is repeated in many verses                        Including 002:00, 003:105, 007:009, 030:039, 064:017, etc.

  • وَ — Wa — And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses; also; but; additionally; though; when; while; yet; whereupon)

  • الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ — Moof-lay-hoon — The Successful (= n., pl., Achievers; champs; prosperous; triumphant; victors; victorious; winners. See Note Note 002:006)

 

Note 002:006. The word  الۡ  before the word  مُفۡلِحُوۡنَ   pinpoints that the word   الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ  is a noun, and not a verb and that’s why its translation as a verb in present or future tense is not right. “The Successful” people as defined in a 6-step description [023:002 to 012] resembling an 8-step description [070:023 to 036] are those ‘who pray’ and will be ‘honored’ in Paradise.

*  Note 002:005.   The word  كَ  is a pronoun for a male in 2nd person. The Holy Qor-aan used it frequently.  Initially the addressee of that word is the trusted messenger is Holy Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w). “In reality through him, his followers” [mgf’s Note 3250] have been shown that way to be righteous.  Thus every Moslem and in fact every human being is the addressee of that blessed divine message.  Really anyone fortunate enough to read and practice its teachings is an addressee by his Creator.  Truthfully the One Only God gave the only one message to Man before he developed conflicts in it.  The contradictions professed by clergymen are man-made regulations, and not God-sent Rules.  Common sense to understand is that God had prescribed the same one conduct for all His people.  Black, brown, red, white, Jews, Christians, Hindus, or Moslems all will be judged by one measure.  And eventual even-handed adjudication dictates that all humans be assigned similar things to do.  Dictating man to do contradictory things but judge him by a single criterion would appear unfair.  Almighty God is the Fairest of all Judges who gave adequate advance info how He will judge.  He laid down one uniform criteria for all and addressed them directly by you in the second person.  He had His Commands written down so that few can say that the message had not reached them.  Similar interpretation is attached to the word Qool (قُلۡ) that has preceded several Commandments. The direction initially to the Holy Prophet Mohammed, s.a.w, really is a direction to every human.  That is why the Holy Qor-aan is  The Most Read Book In The World.

The Creator framed certain Rules of Universal Application by which man has got to live.   He made (002:023) the sky as canopy, the earth as bed and sent water from skies to grow food for him.   He chose to tell man the divine Rules of Universal Application designed for his betterment. by Him.   He gave, granted, lowered, provided and poured down those rules on chosen people to pass them on.   He used (002:144) those trusted persons as the witnesses to ensure honest delivery of all those rules.   He entrusted the knowledge of those rules to said Messengers and Prophets as trusted letter-carriers.   He inspired in those holy men a part of the Divine Plan that contemporary man could comprehend.   He eventually delivered His Plan fully in the Holy Qor-aan, the whole Completed Book (005:005).   He selected a man to be the universal Leader of the whole mankind as their genuine representative.   He in His Infinite Wisdom chose the most qualified person to be Apex of Prophet-hood (033:041).   He revealed the Book to the Holy Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) addressing mostly in the 2nd person.   He widened His Commands to cover all who would learn, practice and preach the Divine Message.   He cited several natural elements and illustrated that He had not created them in vain (003:192).   He showed that the Rules of Universal Application were laid down to benefit and not harm man.   Sun shines and warms; light travels in straight line; gravity pulls; we all are bound to live by them.   We are subject to those realities whether we are believers or not.

* Note 002:005a. Some people don’t know (002:119) why does not the Almighty God talk to them directly. Really the Creator knows what are the most appropriate rules by which all His creation must live. In His infinite wisdom He has always entrusted His message to prophets to pass on to the others. The process covered under  اُنۡزِلَ  (oon-zay-la), اَنۡزَلۡتُ (un-zul-to) or  نَزَّلۡنَا   (nu-zul-naa) is entrustment. He inspires, reveals, provides, pours, sends, dispatches, grants, lays, gives or lowers down Rules. He appoints any of the people He chooses to be His Messengers, Prophets, Apostles or Divines. That phenomenon is best described as entrustment since the word reaches the recipients as a trust. The Prophets initially receive the divine revelations or the Holy entrustment from God Almighty. Then they practice upon the entrusted message inside of their lives, families and circle of friends. They personally practice the teachings and set up precedents which their followers must emulate. They preach and profess their teachings if no occasion has arisen to exemplify them by their acts. Their quotes shine light when no precedent exists to show  how the teachings apply to a situation. They evangelically spread their message to their locality before it gets known by the whole world. Their audience finally grows from their close relations to big and small nations in the entire world. That is why it is imperative that the real intent in the original text is always transmitted faithfully. That process can best be described as entrustment of the message that God entrusts His Divines. That phenomenon is illustrated by several verses including 002:005; 002:024, 002:042, 002:091, 002:092, 002:137, 002:186; 002:232; 002:286, 003:054, 003:085, 003:200, 004:061, etc.

** Note 002:005b.  Read our Commentary titled as “2 pronouns or 1 pro and 1 verb mean...” The phrase هُمۡ يُوۡقِنُوۡنَ “hoom-yoo-qay-noon” consists of two words.

  • The first word هُمۡ (= hoom) is a pronoun that refers to ‘all those’ in masculine gender.
  • The second word يُوۡقِنُوۡنَ (=Yoo-qay-noon) is a verb showing the act ‘of bearing an absolute conviction’ done by ‘them all’ (= pl., m., addressee in 3rd person).
  • When a pronoun points to a person, and is followed by a verb which with one of its 14 variations refers to an action by that person, the two-worded phrase so created lays an extreme emphasis on the stated action.   Thus the phrase هُمۡ يُوۡقِنُوۡنَ “hoom-yoo-qay-noon” means ‘They really are the people with a wholesome conviction without any shadow of doubt’.
  • Examples of this kind including this verse are found in 002:005; 002:013; 002:014; 002:023; 002:033; 002:034, 002:038; 002:043; 002:045 and other places in the Holy Qor-aan.

*** Note 002:005c: The word  أَخِرَة‌‌‌  means any blessing, ending, hour, life, people or times that come, occur or happen subsequently, ahead in the future as a succeeding fact. When the prefix of  ٱلۡ  attached before it, the meanings are particularized to any of the following. Beyond this life.  Coming.  Future.  Judgment Day. Life – after death, ahead, later, next or yet to come later. Resurrection.  Something in the far distant future. Succeeding hour. The Ending. The last day. The Last or other world. The time ahead, in future, yet to come. The coming, last, later, next or the other world. Life in the distant, far away, next or world yet to come)

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.

○بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِمِ‏‏

Bay   iss-may  il-laa-hay  ir-rah-maa-nay  ir-ra-hee-m
(= Bis-mil  laa-hir  rah-maa-nir  ra-hee-m)

With the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful I begin.

(Beginning, commencing, starting)

  • بِ — Bay … (is) — With (= This Arabic word literally means ‘with’ but some contexts may warrant its translation as ‘in’)
  • سۡمِ — Iss-may … (il) — The name of (= The way to be addressed or called)
  • اللهِ — Laa-hay … (ir) — Allah (= The Almighty God; the One Only worthy of worship)
  • الرَّحۡمٰنِ — Rah-maa-nay … (ir) — The Most Beneficent (= adj., Compassionate. Gracious. None more than Him benefits. As n: The One Who fully, totally and wholly benefits all, to the maximum without any  condition, limitation or restriction. The Greatest and     Highest Benefactor Who wills goodness and mercy to all His creation See Note 001:001) 
  • الرَّحِيۡمِ — Ra-hee-m — The Most Merciful (= adj., Superlative form indicates the Greatest Merciful. Merciful Forever. The word floodlights that none more than Him shows kindness and mercy, continually, incessantly, like perpetually coming waves from oceans)

      

** Note: 001:001. This verse was revealed 114 times. It is the First (1st) in 113 of the 114 Chapters (Soorah) of the Holy Qor-aan. It’s not the 1st verse of Chapter 9 but has appeared twice in Chapter 27 — once as its 1st and again as its 31st (027:031). 

This verse is numbered 1st (#001) of a Soorah on this site like many translators have done. Our numbering of verses differs from those who have ignored numbering the aforesaid as the 1st.

A Hadeeth of the Holy Prophet s.a.w) lists 99 Names of Allah originated from the Holy Qor-aan and any Name not shown there but on the list is deduced from a verb or noun used there.     

This verse names two Attributes of the Almighty God (059:025). This site provides the principal characteristics of Attributes concisely, but others may have verbalized them differently.

Translators have magnified the ordinary meanings of a word of an Attribute by using its superlative form and often adding prefixes like All, Ever, Forever, Most, Very, Well, etc.

For example, an Attribute in verse 004:111 has been translated as follows.

  • ‘Merciful’ by 5 authors: Maulana Muhammad Ali, Maulawi Sher Ali, Malik Ghulam                                     Farid, Marmaduke Pickthall and N J Dawood. 
  • ‘Most Merciful’ by 3 authors: Abdulla Yusuf Ali, M Muhsin Khan and Taqi-ud-Din.
  • ‘Ever Merciful’ by 2 authors: Muhammad Zafrulla Khan and Amatul Rahman Omar.
  • ‘All-compassionate’ by 1 author: John Arberry.
  • ‘All-Merciful’ by 1 author: Dr Ahmad Zidan.

Our Translation when compared with other works – printed, published and sold in the market — shows minor to major differences like the above in verses including 004:105.

Our Commentaries like Translations with Additions or Subtractions, Translations with Author’s Whims, Translations with Different Words, Translations With Inaccuracies, and others furnish analytical, factual, grammatical and other intriguing critiques on some contents

The pronoun part may come before the main operating part of the word. For example the word  عبد  is for a 3rd person in the past tense and means He worshipped. But a  نَ  before it converted it to  نَعۡبُدُ  (nau-bodo) which is for the plural 1st person and means We worshipped.

The pronoun part may come after the main operating part of the word. For example the word  انعم nis for a 3rd person in the past tense and means He blessed. But a  تَ  after it converted it to   اَنۡعَمۡتَ  (aun-aum-ta) which is for the single 2nd person and means You blessed.

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَىُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُ

Al-laa-ho-laa-elaa-ha-il-la-ho-wul-huy-yoo-quy-yoom

Allah! There is no God except Him, the Living, the Lasting.

The construction of next five words is in 002:256, 003:003, 004:088
