The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                        004:073

 

وَاِنَّ مِنۡكُمۡ لَمَنۡ لَّيُبَطِّئَنَّ‌ ۚ  فَاِنۡ اَصَابَتۡكُمۡ مُّصِيۡبَةٌ قَالَ قَدۡ اَنۡعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَىَّ اِذۡ لَمۡ اَكُنۡ مَّعَهُمۡ شَهِيۡدًا

 

Wa-inna-min-koom-la-mun                                                                                                               La-yo-but-tay-un-na                                                                                                                              Fa-in-asaa-but-koom-mo-se-ba-toon-qaa-la                                                                                    Qud-un-aa-mul-laa-ho-aa-luy-ya                                                                                                        Iz-lum-a-koon-ma-aa-hoom-sha-he-daa

 

And most certainly among you is                                                                                          He who definitely stays behind.                                                                                          Then if a misfortune struck you, he said,                                                                      “Certainly Allah conferred blessings on me                                                                    When I was not present with them.”  

 

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

A/t/a, ‘loitereth,’  ‘tarries behind,’ ‘tarries behind (and does not leave to fight in the cause of Allah)’ and such translation confirms  — as is shown by the other verb  قَا لَ  and the pronoun   اَكُنۡ   used in the verse  — that the correct one is in the singular, i.e., man. Thus A Yusuf Ali’s translation ‘men who would tarry behind’ and others as ‘tarry behind,’ ‘lag behind,’ ‘linger behind from fighting in Allah’s cause)’ and ‘hang back’ in the plural is not correct)

  • مُّصِيۡبَةٌ — Mo-see-ba-toon — Misfortune (= n., s., Adversity; affliction; bad luck; calamity; catastrophe; difficult situation; disaster’; hardship; loss; inconvenience; misfortune; severe problem; tribulation; trouble)
  • قَا لَ — Qaa-la —  He said (= v., past., f., 3rd person. Announce; assert; claim; insist;  maintain. A Yusuf Ali’s translation ‘they say’ in plural  is incorrect.

  • قَدۡ — Qud — Surely (= Certainly; definitely; indeed; verily. See  لَ  above)
  • اَنۡعَمَ — Un-aa-ma(ul) — He cast blessings (= v., past., s., 3rd person. Bestowed bounties; blessed; conferred favors specially; guided; led to act rightly. A/t/a, ‘bestowed a favour,’ ‘did favour’ and ‘favoured’. But the translation ‘has been gracious’ as a noun is not what the Holy Qor-aan has stated as a verb  in the past tense)
  • اللّٰهُ — Laa-ho — Allah (= The One and the Only One Almighty God)

  • هُمۡ‌ — Hoom — Them (= pro., pl., m., 3 rd person. Refers to aforesaid people)
  • شَهِيۡدًا — Sha-he-daa — Present (= adj, At hand; in attendance; nearby; over there; present. Also, the word as a noun means attester; bearer of testimony, giver of evidence; martyr; testifier; witness)

Listen, you all who have believed! Take your precaution                                        Then strike alone or attack all together

 

The Holy Qor-aan has used the Phrase Yaa-auy-yo-hul-la-zee-na-aa-ma-noo many times

  • يٰۤ — Yaa — Listen (= Be attentive; hearken; pay attention; O!)
  • اَيُّهَا — Auy-yo-ha(ul) — You all (= All addressees; entire audience; whole lot of listeners)
  • ٱلَّذِينَ — Ul-la-zee-na — Those who (= pl., m, 3rd person. Those articles, things or persons

See Commentaries like Islam – 101, Phrase Aa-ma-noo-wa-aa-may-loos … and Believe and Disbelieve that floodlight other aspects how the Holy Qor-aan has used this word)
  • خُذُوۡا — Kho-zoo — Take (= v., pres., pl., 2nd person. Adopt; catch; seize. A/t/a, ‘be ever’)

  • انْفِرُوۡا — Fay-roo — Strike (= v., pres., pl., 2nd person.  Accomplish, achieve, attack or go for one’s goal, mission or stand; carry out; charge; finish; run; spread out. A/t/a, ‘go forth,’ ‘go forth (on an expedition),’ ‘advance,’ ‘march,’ ‘march forward’ and ‘move forward’)

** Note 004:072. This verse has verbalized one rule to resolve any criminal or communal campaign, conflict, combat or competition.

First and the foremost step must be to take precaution. Implementing defensive measures before striking at a problem is a must. Acing alone or all together must be the next step.

Striking alone by today is sophisticated. In warfare, spying individually, developing elite attackers in special forces or flying solo to drop atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is a norm.

Charging together by now is concerted attacks by several branches of Armed Forces and even multi-national alliances as in WWI, WWII and events like Normandy Invasions.

Believe and Disbelieve

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Abid

BELIEVE and DISBELIEVE

 

It is impossible to translate Arabic into other languages without knowing the Arabic grammar.

The Holy Qor-aan uses two words (003:150) belief and its antonym disbelief frequently. The derivates from the root  ا   م    ن    convey having belief, faith, peace, tranquility or orderliness. The derivates from the root ك  ف  رِ  show disbelief, denial, disorder, disowning, rejection or refusal.

 

Each Arabic root has many derivate words; see Translation-1 With Author’s Whims. Each word has specific meanings; see Preciseness – Hallmark of the Arabic. Accordingly, the verb, in the past tense, for a single individual, in masculine gender in 3rd person from the root اٰ  م  ن  is اٰمَنَ.

The word اٰمَنَ  (aa-ma-na = v., past., s., m., 3rd person) means a man who believed in the Holy Qor-aan and entered the Faith of Iss-laam, Islaam or Islam. It also encompasses the following.

  1. He sincerely, totally and wholeheartedly believed embraced the Faith, turned Faithful.
  2. He admitted, affirmed, approved, concurred, confirmed, corroborated, evidenced, seen, testified or witnessed to be a Moslem.
  3. He was given peace, made safe, protected, provided, rescued, saved and given security.

The word  اٰمَنُوۡا (aa-ma-noo = v., past., m., pl., 3rd person = meaning They believed) is the plural of aforesaid word for single male. It means all above; see our Commentary Islam – 101 and the Note to 003:150. When the Holy Qor-aan used this verb in the past tense as in verse 004:061 it was inaccurate to have translated it as ‘they believe’ in the present tense like many authors did.

 

The above two are from the fourteen derivate words just in the past tense. There are over 60 other words from the same one root including the following.

يُّؤۡمِنُ (yo-may-noo = he believes) is the verb in the present tense showing precisely the singular or solitary doer in the masculine gender in the 3rd person.

نُّؤۡمِنَ (nou-may-na = we believe) is the verb in the present tense showing precisely the plural or multiple doers in both genders in the 1st person.

يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ (yo-may-noon = they believe) is the verb in the present tense showing precisely the plural or multiple doers in the masculine gender in the 3rd person.

اٰمَنَّا (aa-mun-na = we believed) is the verb in the past tense showing precisely1st person in plural.

الۡاِيۡمَانِ (ee-maa-n = belief, faith; total confidence; trust) is one of many forms of nouns.

اٰمِنًا (aa-may-nun = in peace or in an inviolate place of peace, safety, security which is devoid of disturbance and turmoil) is what is equivalent to an adjective in English language.

 

The same way the other word كَفَرَ (ka-fa-ra = v., past., s., m., 3rd person = he disbelieved) is verb, in the past tense, for a single one in masculine gender and in 3rd person from the root ك ف  ر  .

The meanings from the root ك ف  ر   (like detailed in our Note 002:007) is as following.

  1. To abuse, deny, fail, misuse, reject or refuse to appreciate, thank, use or utilize any of the God-given abilities, blessings, capacities, capabilities, gifts, opportunities afforded and talents endowed.
  2. To breach faith or be ‘Disdainful of the bounties of Allah’ [M Zafrulla Khan] or do acts that show the doer as an ingrate, renegade, ungratefulness or utterly thankless.
  3. To deny God’s grace by teaching, learning or spreading acts to create illusions, cheating or committing other crimes including the falsehood, fakery and magic.
  4. To deny, disobey, reject, refuse to follow or renounce the faith, belief in Allah, the Holy Qor-aan, Islaam and become Moslem.
  5. To become a blasphemer, disbeliever, faithless, heretic, impious, infidel, ingrate, non-believer, pagan, rejecter of, resistor to, or unbeliever in God.

Grammar variations pack further emphasis in above meanings that reflect being a confirmed, proven, real or total ingrate. They could also indicate becoming exceedingly, extremely, greatly, highly, persistently, totally or wholly unappreciative, ungrateful or thankless.

كَفَرَ (ka-fa-ra = v., past., s., m., 3rd person = He disbelieved) means that he abused, denied, failed, misused, rejected or refused to appreciate, thank, use or utilize the God-given abilities, blessings, capacities, capabilities, gifts, opportunities afforded and talents endowed. The word includes the meanings that he became a blasphemer, faithless, heretic, impious, infidel, ingrate, non-believer, pagan and rejecter of or resistor to or unbeliever in God)

كَفَرُوۡا (ka-fa-roo = v., past, pl., 3rd person) means They disbelieved or did as detailed above for many males such as stated among others in verses   002:007, 002:040, 002:162, 003:092, 004:057, 005:011.

The above two are from the fourteen derivate words in the past tense only. There are over 60 other words from the same one root including the following.

يَكۡفُرُ (yuck-fo-ro = v., pres., m., pl., 3rd person) means He disbelieves.

تَكۡفُرۡ (tuk-foor = v., pres., f., pl., 2nd person) means You single female or group disbelieve.

نَكۡفُرُ (nukfo-ro = v., pres., pl., 1st person) means we deny, reject or refuse to believe.

يَكۡفُرُوۡنَ (yuk-fo-roo-na   = v., pres., m., pl., 3rd person) means they disbelieve, deny, refuse, reject or act ungratefully. The Holy Qor-aan generally refers to those who do aforesaid acts relative to Allah, the Holy Qor-aan and Islam

كَافِرٍ (kaa-fay-rin = n., m., s) means a single male disbeliever, non-believer or unbeliever.

كَافِرَةٌ (kaa-fay-ra-toon = n., f., s) is a female including a group or association who is disbeliever, faithless; unappreciative; ungrateful; heretic, infidel, resistors to God or unbeliever – 003:014)

الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ (kaa-fay-reen = n., pl)  are those many deniers, faithless; ungrateful, non-appreciating, thankless, unappreciative who abuse, misuse, refuse, fail to use, or gratefully acknowledge and utilize any of the God-given blessings, gifts, opportunities or talents provided to them. 002:099)

الۡکُفۡرَ (koof-ra = n) means disbelief; abuse, denial, failure, misuse, rejection or refusal – 003:053)

كُفَّارٌ (koof-faa-roon = n., pl., superlative form) means Those who really and truly… disbelieve, abuse, deny, fail, misuse, reject or refuse to appreciate, thank, use or utilize any God-given graces. 002:277)

كُفۡرًا (koof-run) or كُفۡر(koof-ray) is a noun that means apostasy, denial, disbelief, ingratitude, lack of appreciation, refusal, rejection, unbelief, ungratefulness. 004:138, 004:156)

About this site

All ABOUT this site is the Translation of the Holy Qor-aan.

Starting with The Beginning from 001-001, self-explanatory titles Progress Report, Mission Statement, How to use this Site and Why is it Important explain what this site is. As a work by an ordinary man, it is subject to errors which are kept at bay by ongoing improvements.

About the translation on this site

A simple straightforward translation of the Holy Qor-aan in American English is the sole goal of this site. That’s why it is different from all other translations on the market.

Translation of each verse shows how it is distinguished from others. But any of our Translation commentaries like with Additions and Subtractions., Author’s Whims, Different ideas, Different words, Grammar violated, Inaccuracies, etc., provide a bird’s eye-view of this site.

About the Content

The Holy Qor-aan is the spiritual code for man’s conduct in life. It is summarized in one word Iss-laam which is written as Islam and pronounced on American TV as Iz-lam (like pat, cat, sat).

It provides prayers, prohibitions and Commandments and Rules of Universal Application.

Some translations minimized or magnified the original intent with Material Mistakes, created Sects or issues like Abrogation, Caliphate, Jihad, Modifications or perhaps what was considered politically correct when a particular translation was done.

Our translation has no bias. Our Acknowledgments show how we can present what the Holy Qor-aan has laid down as Laws of Marriages, Divorces, Inheritance, Trading, Shariah, etc.

** Note 004:070: The word Shohadaa (الشُّهَدَآءِ  ) is the plural and its singular is Shaheed ( شَهِيۡد  ).  Shaheed ( شَهِيۡد ) in the singular means the adducer of proof, producer of corroboration or bearer, giver or provider of evidence or testimony. He is the attester, observer, onlooker, testifier, watcher or witness who witnessed the event. He supports the version offered because he had seen, heard and observed what had happened. His account as the eye-witness vouches for the Truth of events or facts that he experienced. His averment is not a hearsay or less credible for being that someone else or a third party saw.  See also other verses like 003:141, 003:099, 004:034, 004:042, 004:080, etc.

But some authors have translated these words only as martyrs or warriors who laid their lives in Holy Wars or Jihad supporting causes of religion. Such militia-minded translations may have contributed to some sects adding Jihad as the mandatory 6th worship or Pillars Of Islam.
