Both these words should have begun with the letter ت   to deduce that the doers thereof were in the 2nd person as was translated by the author N J Dawood. Thus his incorrect translation shows disregard or ignorance about this fundamental element of the Arabic grammar.

Allah’s following Attribute is repeated in verses like 004:095, 004:129, 004:136, 048:012

  • اِنَّ — In-na…(ul) — Certainly (= Absolutely; definitely; doubtlessly; earnestly; indeed;       positively; really; seriously; surely; truly; verily)

This word means one who knows and is fully acquainted, aware, cognizant. However, authors added different prefixes like All, Ever, Most, Well, etc (see verse 001:001) to the plain meanings when translating it as an attribute of the Almighty Allah)

 

** Note: 004:129. The word  يُّصۡلِحَا  (= yoos-lay-haa) clearly indicates that both wife and husband are brought together by a third party which usually is some impartial arbiter.

The two conditions bad behavior and separation stated earlier lay down the foundation of why the spouses are not together. In such situations almost always the best is a third party’s action which is stated in the passive voice.

It is inaccurate to translate this word in the active voice as is done by some translators as if the spouses were to take this action.
