Islam 106 – Religion Established Nation

Posted on April 19, 2022 by Abid

ISLAM – 106

Practiced  Religion  Established  Nation  of  followers

 

Accurate translation of an original is a must for anyone who does such work. Accurate translation of the Holy Qor-aan is what we pray that the Almighty God enables us to do, and we try to do so to our best.

But many people see such results rather dimmed in some of the published translations by A John Arberry [aja], A Rahman Omar [aro], A Yusuf Ali [aya], D Ahmad Zidan [daz], M Ghulam Farid [mgf], M Mohammad Ali [mma], M Mohsin Khan [mmk], Marmaduke Pickthall [mmp], M Sher Ali [msa], M Taqi Usmani [mtu], M Zafrulla Khan [mzk], N J Dawood [njd], Quran Dictionary [qd] and T Din Al-Hilali [tda] as shown below..

I

The word   دِّيۡنَ (dean) means a Religion or Divine Rules. What is conveyed in the message is bound to happen, like The End, The Resurrection, the Day of Judgment. The Holy Qor-aan has used this word in many contexts and floodlighted the covered matter in verses including 002:218, 002:257, 003:074, 003:086, 004:126, 004:147, 004:172, 005:004, 005:055, 006:160, 006:162 etc.

But various authors have translated this word differently. Some [mzk, daz] called it Faith since that is displayed by its followers. Some [mmk, tda] said it is ‘Islamic Monotheism, the right and true religion since they were Muslim.’ Some called it a ‘straight path’ [aja, mtu, qd]. Some labelled it a Belief System as its adherents believe in it. Some just show an Authors Whim.

II

The word قِيَمًا (qay-yay-mun) means the concepts, contents or conclusions that have been acted upon, confirmed, established, firmed up, implemented, proven right after they were put into practice, solidified or worked. The Holy Qor-aan has used this word in verse 006:162.

And this word has been translated as right [aja, aya, mma, mmp, mgf, mmk, msa, qd], upright religion [njd], true [aro, daz], perfect [mzk] and straight [qd].

III

The word مِّلَّةَ   (mil-la-ta) means a Nation, community, creed, group or set of people who follow the principles and precepts provided by the religion they follow. Their lifestyle and way of life is what their religion has chalked out for them as the line, path, road or way to follow in life. The Holy Qor-aan has used this word in verse 002:136, 003:096, 004:126, 006:162.

And this word has been translated as a path, community [mmp], creed [aja, aro], faith [mma, mtu, njd], religion [aro, daz, mgf, msa,, mmk, mzk, qd, tda] and way [aya].

IV

The verse 006:162 has used all three words chronologically. The entire section means that the Religion that was practiced establishing a Nation of followers for Abraham, a.s.

** Note 006:160. Author M Mohsin Khan has reproduced the following two Hadeeth.

  1. Tafsir Al-Qurtubi has quoted that when reciting this verse, the Holy Prophet, a.w. said, “These people are those who invent new things (Bid’ah) in religion and the followers of the vain desires of this Muslim nation and their repentance will not be accepted by Allah.”
  2. The books of Hadeeth At-Tirmidh, Ibn Maja and Abu Dawud narrated the Holy Prophet, a.w, “ The Jews and Christians will be divided into seventy-one or seventy-two religious sects and this nation will be divided into seventy-three religious sects, all in Hell, except one, and that one is: on which I and my Companions are today, i.e. following the Qur’an and the Prophet’s Sunnah (legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements).”

Author M Ghulam Farid has said that “When people begin to follow their own caprices and fancies, differences arise among them and unanimity of the views disappears.”

** Note 005:099. The word   اِعۡلَمُوۡۤا means you should or must know since its first letter Alif has the vowel kusra (zair) under it as shown by most authors. A Yusuf Ali also translated it as Know ye but showed the first letter Alif with the vowel futha (zabar) above it and so a verb in the past tense for the 3rd person which would mean they knew.
