** Note 005:058: The word    تَّخِذُوۡٓا  has a kasra (  ِ ) under the letter khay ( خِ ). It is a verb in the present tense for a 2nd person, a command to do a specified act, and the effect that means ‘You’ take, adopt, bring in, catch, consider, construe, seize or treat the commanded act.

The other word  تَّخَذُوۡا  has a fataha (  َ ) upon the letter khay ( خَ ). It is a verb in the past tense for a 3rd person, describes disbelievers who had done the wrong and the cause that means ‘They’ took, acted upon, adopted, committed or practiced the proscribed prohibition. It is this word that has been mistranslated by many authors. Only some authors translated it correctly.

Placement of a single vowel makes these two words different. One is in the present tense for 2nd person. The other is in the past tense for 3rd person. See Commentary Arabic Grammar 5 – Punctuations and vowels.

The mistranslation of the word  تَّخَذُوۡا  describes disbelievers’ ridicule of Moslem prayer. It should have been translated in the past tense as the feat accompli that resulted in the command to the believers. Translating it in the present tense is plainly wrong.

The mistranslation shows failure to distinguish the two words. One is the result or effect. The other is the reason or cause. Perhaps they look alike to an eye not well-versed in the Arabic language of which every root produces several dozens of words as its derivates. Each derivative is a different word and has different meanings.

The mistranslation is by several following authors, perhaps some by just duplication.

  • Maulawi Sher Ali and M Zafrulla Khan translated it as ‘Who make.’  
  • M Muhammad Ali, Amatul Rahman Omar, Dr Zidan Ahmad, M Mohsin Khan and Taqi-uddin Al-Hilali translated it as ‘Who take.’  

The mistranslation in the present tense shows failure to know (a) the Arabic grammar (see Arabic Grammar 2 – Basics to Arabic, Note 002:031 and Grammar 6 – Material Mistakes), (b) the impact of vowels (see Arabic Grammar 5 – Punctuations and vowels) and (c) the distinction between two different words that mean differently and must be translated differently.

The Holy Qor-aan gives Rules of Universal Application. A failure to follow these rules results in inequities. This verse shows the appropriate sequence. The wrong done earlier must be stated in the past tense. The resulting Command of obedience follows in the present tense. This site strongly disavows wrong meanings implanted on the Holy Qor-aan.

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                         005:053

 

 فَتَـرَى الَّذِيۡنَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ مَّرَضٌ  يُّسَارِعُوۡنَ فِيۡهِمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ نَخۡشٰٓى اَنۡ تُصِيۡبَـنَا دَآٮِٕرَةٌ‌  ؕ فَعَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِىَ بِالۡفَتۡحِ اَوۡ اَمۡرٍ مِّنۡ عِنۡدِهٖ فَيُصۡبِحُوۡا عَلٰى مَاۤ اَسَرُّوۡا فِىۡۤ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ نٰدِمِيۡنَ ؕ

 

Fa-ta-rul-la-zee-na-fee-qo-loo-bay-him-ma-ra-dzoon                                                                  Yo-saa-ray-oo-na-fee-him-ya-qoo-loo-na                                                                                        Nukh-shaa-un-to-see-ba-naa-daa-aiy-ra-toon

Fa-aa-sul-laa-ho-un-yau-tay-ya-bil-fut-hay                                                                                    Auo-um-rin-min-in-day-he-fa-yoos-bay-hoo                                                                                  Alaa-maa-aa-sur-roo-fee-un-fo-say-him-naa-day-mee-n

 

So you see in their hearts a sickness.                                                                              Hurrying among themselves they say,                                                                                  “We fear that a change will strike us.”

So maybe Allah comes with the victory                                                                                Or some order from Him so that they become                                                              Regretful on what they hid in their minds.

 

  • فَ — Fa — So (= After all this; at the end; consequently; finally; hence; in conclusion; so; then; thereafter; therefore; thus.  A/t/a, ‘But’ and ‘Now’)

** Note 005:051. The term الۡجَـاهِلِيَّةِ‌ (ul-jaa-hay-lee-ya-tay) consists of two words. The first word   جَـاهِلِيَّة  (jaa-hay-lee-ya-tay) means a time, period, duration or event in which elements of ignorance, roughness and bad manners were the order of the day, all around the society. The second word الۡ (ul) is a pre-fix that turns a common noun into a specific proper noun. Thus the combination refers to the conditions which prevailed in the territory known as Arab (the Saudi Arabia in 20th A.D.) before Iss-laam came and changed them.

The concept stated in the first part of the verse has been described differently as follows. Abdullah Yusuf Ali as seek after A judgment of (the days Of) Ignorance.                          Amatul Rahman Omar as seek to enforce the law of (the days of) ignorance?                        Dr Ahmad Zidan as Is it then the rule of pagandom that they are seeking?                            N J Dawod as Is it pagan laws that they wish to be judged by?                                            Maulana Muhammad Ali as seek the judgment of ignorance that they desire.          Maulawi Sher Ali as Do they then seek the judgment of the days of Ignorance?                      M Ghulam Farid as seek the judgment of the days of Ignorance.                                                M Mohsin Khan as Do then they seek the judgement of (the days of) Ignorance?                    M Pickthall as Is it a judgment of the time of (pagan) ignorance that they are seeking?      M Zafarullah Khan as judgment in accordance with the standards of the days before revelation.
