* Note 003:078.  This verse has highlighted two significant phenomenon.

I

It takes two parties to make an agreement or contract. Man pledged and promised certain things to his Creator who accepted them. The phrase  عَهۡدِ اللّٰهِ  refers to the promises made to God.

On the other hand, man can express his mind. So his unilateral actions profess what he believes. The phrase  اَيۡمَانِهِمۡ   refers to such expressions that man makes on his own.

The verse specifies both kinds of multi-party contracts and single-party expressions of one’s mind. There are people who sell them presently for small gains. Their preference for an immediate return loses the sight of the far better results in future.

 

II

God Almighty specified in the Scriptures as to what He expects of every human being. Most people willingly spend their lives in accordance with the Commandments and Prohibitions. Those unwilling must nevertheless obey the Rules of Universal Application where laid down. This verse states three of His attributes with which God will treat man and adjudge his actions on the day of Judgment.

  • He would converse, speak and talk to most lovingly and generously – but not to some.
  • He would see and look at the deeds of most kindly and forgivingly – but not of some.
  • He would cleanse impurities in most affectionately and thoroughly – but not in some.

God Almighty is indeed Affectionate, Forgiving, Generous, Giving, Kind and Loving to all His creatures. But by this verse He has warned the sellers of His signs, His good name, and their oaths. This group of violators — known as the Clergy or Mullah who notoriously do these violations well and all the time — has been promised stiff penalty. The translations stating God’s love, affection, forgiveness, generosity and kindness to such violators are not appropriate.

That is the reason why the simple and straightforward translation mandates that (a) the three attributes be presented as sternly as they have been stated in the original text and (b) no translator should try to soften up the impact of this strong warning against selling God’s signs.

           * Note 003:076. This verse highlights an important aspect of the Law of Mortgages. The basic issues regarding mortgages have been dealt extensively in verses 002:283 and 002:284.

The pronouns  هِ  and  هٖۤ  refer to the entrusted dinar. It is the trust or security which is invariably something inanimate. They do not refer to the trustee of that trust as has been done in some translations. Trustee, lender or mortgagee refer to the person from whom the trust property is due to be redeemed and returned.

Even a bad faith foreclosure argument by Shylock-type loan shark is recognized by Law. The Anglo-Saxon law with an astronomical slant favor the mortgagee. Most known legislation, precedents and actual or fictional stories in literature underscore the rights of a mortgagee.

Little leniency exists for the mortgagor. Equity of Redemption is flouted everywhere. Despite a lip-service recognition of the principle, common law and prevailing practices permit a lender to dig his claws deep into his borrower’s possessions and almost everything he owns.

The borrower, mortgagor or provider of security had few protections to his rights in his own assets that he was forced to mortgage. Scriptures took the lead to cut a trustees’ well-known highhandedness. This verse is a pioneering safeguard which modern trend is now following.

The pronouns هِ and هٖۤ do not refer to the trustee. It is not realistic for a borrower to keep standing over his claim for the return of his security. This verse highlights his right to get back his property he gave in trust. It remains alive and active until his property is restored to him.

* Note 003:074a. Literally the word تُؤۡمِنُوۡۤا means that ‘you believe, avow belief, copy the ways of, enter the religion, expect to receive peace and security, follow the life style, have faith, put in faith, or trust.

But some translations show it as “And obey none but him who follows your religion.” Such translation is inaccurate, inappropriate and very dangerous. It exhorts believers to disobey those who do not believe that way. It urges Moslems to distrust unbelievers. It is offensive in the social interaction with fellow citizens. It is illegal to disobey or even exhort others to violate the laws of a non-Moslem country where one is domiciled. It gives a strong argument to such administrations which publicly vouch to suppress Moslems. It unfortunately supports those who already have or want to establish a track record of high-handedness against Moslem community. Our Commentary titled  The Obedience explains what that phenomenon really is in Islam.

 

Reproduced

Note 002:121a. The phrase قُلۡ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الۡهُدٰى‌ؕ   in the verse 002:121 is very similar to the phrase      قُلۡ اِنَّ الۡهُدٰى هُدَى اللّٰه  in the 003:074 verse. They both reiterate the same important Rule of Universal Application, i.e., you announce to the whole world that the real guidance is always that which comes from Allah.

 

** Note 003:074b. Literally the word   فَضۡلَ (= Fudz-la) means affluence, blessing, bliss, bounty, eminence, generosity, goodness, grace, greatness and kindness. The word includes all kinds of valuables such as the time, talent, energy, ability, potential and physical assets, money, property, possessions and wealth. Generally implied in the meanings is also the phenomenon of enormous, extreme, graceful, plenteous, infinitely stretched out and tremendous.

A simple and straightforward translation is to convey what the original text states. Some scholars [like Allamah Nooruddin] accurately translated the word and then explained it in parenthesis as “Eminence (of prophethood and sovereignty).”

Others [like Ahmad Zidan] expanded the original message. He translated this word as the ‘bounties‘ — in the plural form that diluted its impact. Really the original text used it in its singular form and thereby underscored its uniqueness, being one-of-a-kind and without any parallel.

Yet others [like A Yusuf Ali] made additions that created a slant in the meanings such as “(Fear ye) lest a revelation Be sent to someone (else) Like unto that which was sent Unto you? Or that those (Receiving such revelation) Should engage you in argument Before your Lord?”
