The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                           003:173

See below the Note 003:173)

See below the Note 003:173)

** Note 003:173. The Holy Qor-aan has used both words  [اَحۡسَنُوۡ ] and [ اتَّقَوۡا ] in the past tense. So it is inaccurate to translate them in the present tense. The context also shows that using the past tense is appropriate and makes more sense since that would describe the feat accompli [i.e., the doer had already done] the good [اَحۡسَنُوۡ] and acted righteously [ اتَّقَوۡا ] before they could deserve to receive the great reward [ اَجۡرٌ عَظِيۡمٌ ].

** Note 003:173a. The word  عَظِيۡمٌ (Azeem) has more than one of the following meanings as determined by its reference to the context.

  • As an attribute of God Almighty Allah … the superlative form that indicates the greatest, the highest, the most, and that none more than Him is Glorious, Magnificent, Great, Greatest, Awesome, Mighty and Tremendous – 002:256,
  • As a n., it tells of (a) a person, place, time, condition or situation that besides the above meanings is also good, great, superb, fabulous, fantastic, terrific and wonderful packed with the concepts of awe, might and glory as well as (b) the opposite thereof in someone or something which is bad and not good.
  • As an adj., or adv., the word accentuates and magnifies the impact by describing the good with translations such as exceedingly, extremely, immensely, incredibly and infinitely, and also its opposite to describe the bad with translations such as abjectly, awfully, deplorably, disgustingly, dreadfully, frightfully or terribly, etc

Examples:                                                                                                                                                  Good and Great Blessing – 003:075, 003:175, 004:114                                                                  Good and Great Kingdom – 004:055                                                                                                Good and Great News – 078:003                                                                                                Good and Great Reward – 003:173, 003:180, 004:041, 004:068, 004:115                            Good and Great Success – 004:014, 004:074

** Note 003:168b. The word  اَفۡوَاهِ   (auf-wa-hay) is the plural of the word فَاه  (faa-ho) that means mouth.

The dictionary provides over twelve (12) different shades of their meanings and some of the following can accurately translate the word as used in the instant case.

  1. This is how one speaks or says something in a loud, affected, or insincere way.
  2. The way one forms words with the tongue and lips without making a sound in order to avoid being heard or to pretend to speak something.
  3. The way of using language which others think as inappropriate or offensive.
  4. The impudent way to challenge someone in response to a command, order or question.
  5. The part of mouth or the opening between the lips that others see.
  6. The mouth regarded as the organ of speech.
  7. The opening in the head and its surrounding lips, gums, tongue, and teeth, through which people and animals take food or make sounds that others can hear.
  8. Inapplicable to instant case are the meanings of an opening of a cave, tunnel, volcano or mine shaft.
