** Note 003:162. The dictionary meanings of the Arabic word يَّغۡلُلۡ  are he defrauds, exaggerates, inappropriately stretches, improperly increases, overstates or unjustifiably magnifies ‘ Its root ل  ل    غ  carries above meanings in all its derivative words.

The verb غَلَّ  in the past tense single.3rd person format means ‘he defrauded.’

The verb يَّغۡلُلۡ   in the present tense single.3rd person format means ‘he defrauds.’

The verb   يَّغُلَّ   in another present tense single.3rd person format indicates a custom, habit or practice of ‘defrauding.’

That is why this site has translated the above three words in this verse in their dictionary equivalents and not as in the following translations some of which are also incorrect being in the past tense or present tense although the original text in the Holy Qor-aan is in the opposite tense.

  1. ‘Act dishonestly,’ and ‘acted dishonestly’ – Maulawi Sher Ali, Malik Ghulam Freed, Maulana Muhammad Ali and Muhammad Zafrulla Khan
  2. ‘Could (ever) be false to his trust,’ ‘is so false,’ and ‘what he misappropriated’ – A Yusuf Ali
  3. ‘Commit a breach of trust,’ ‘breaks his trust,’ and ‘which he had misappropriated’ – Dr Ahmad Zidan
  4. ‘Deceive (mankind),’ and translated this verb like it was a noun saying ‘his deceit’ – M Marmaduke Pickthall
  5. ‘Guilty of a breach of trust’ – Allamah Nooruddin, A Mannan Omar
  6. ‘Rob his followers,’ ‘steals,’ and ‘stolen’ – N J Dawood
  7. ‘Take illegally a part of the booty,’ ‘deceives his companions as regards the booty,’ and ‘that which he took illegally’ – Muhammad Muhsin Khan and Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali

 

The English word defraud is used in translating other Arabic words that relate to ordinary folks. But the much loftier stature of a prophet mentioned in this verse is also the reason why the sever word defraud is used for a prophet.

  • The same author has translated the same words in the verse 011: 086 as “Defraud not people of their things’ but those in the verse 026:184 as ‘Diminish not unto people their things.”
  • “Fall not short of the measure” – 055:010.
  • “Woe to the cheaters; who, when measuring against the people, take in full; But when giving measure or weigh for them, they diminish” – 083:002 to 004.

 وَلَٮِٕنۡ قُتِلۡتُمۡ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ اَوۡ مُتُّمۡ لَمَغۡفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَحۡمَةٌ خَيۡرٌ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُوۡنَ‏

 

Wa-la-in-qo-til-toom-fee-sa-bee-lil-laa-hay                                                                                  Auo-moot-toom-la-mugh-fay-ra-toon-may-nul-laa-hay                                                            Wa-rauh-ma-toon-khai-roon-mim-maa-yuj-ma-oon

 

And  whether you were hurt in the cause of Allah                                                            Or you died, surely the forgiveness from Allah                                                            And mercy are far better from what they (the opponents) assemble.

  • قُتِلۡ — Qo-til — Were hurt (= v., past., pass., 2nd person. This word can be translated in more than one ways including the following.  — The most appropriate one is bullied, discriminated, fought with, harmed, hunted, hurt, injured, maltreated, oppressed, persecuted, tormented or tortured when such process did not culminate in loss victim’s life.  — Some works have translated this word as attacked, battled, combated, drawn into fighting or forced to take up arms.  — Some authors have translated this word as ‘if you are killed’ or suffered carnage, killing, massacre, mayhem, murder, slaying or slaughter. However, the fifth word ahead  مُتُّمۡ  (meaning you died) negates the appropriateness of such translation)

  • فِىۡ  — Fee — In (= In; concerning; regarding; in reference; relative to. Also, amidst, during or inside a time, place or event)

  • خَيۡرٌ۬ — Khai-roon — Far better (= Absolutely the tops; at apex; best; greatest; highest;  supreme; the top. Also, comparatively better, superior or of greater, higher or more value)
  • مِمَّا — Mim-maa — Out of what (= Combination of two words.  The first is  مِنۡ  (min) that means ‘among, from or out of the class, category, kind count or several persons or things.’  The second is   مَاۤ   that means ‘all that, what, whatever, any time, when whenever.’ The combination refers to the worldly wealth and valuables people acquire and store)
  • يَجۡمَعُوۡنَ‏ — Yuj-ma-oo-n — They assemble (= v., pres., pl., 3rd person., Accumulate; build or bundle up; amass; assemble; collect; gather; hoard; put together; save; store)

 

** Note 003:158. The words  قُتِلۡتُمۡ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ اَوۡ مُتُّمۡ  have been translated in several ways. Their accurate, most logical, simple and straightforward translation is as given above. The same words in the next verse 003:159 further substantiate such translation.

The phrase فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ [= in the cause of Allah]  covers both verbs قُتِلۡتُمۡ  and  مُتُّم . The first verb includes the process of attacking; battling, fighting or even engaging in persecution when the process does not culminate in an actual loss of life. The second verb clearly shows death.

The next verse has also both these verbs but in a reverse order. The first verb reflects the loss of life or being a martyr. The second verb indicates that the reward of being with Allah is not lost even if the devout has not lost life.

  يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَكُوۡنُوۡا كَالَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا وَقَالُوۡا لِاِخۡوَانِهِمۡ اِذَا ضَرَبُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ اَوۡ كَانُوۡا غُزًّى لَّوۡ كَانُوۡا عِنۡدَنَا مَا مَاتُوۡا وَمَا قُتِلُوۡا ۚ لِيَجۡعَلَ اللّٰهُ ذٰ لِكَ حَسۡرَةً فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِم ۡ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يُحۡىٖ وَيُمِيۡتُ  ‌ؕ  وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ بَصِيۡرٌ‏

 

Ya-auy-yo-hul-la-zee-na-aa-ma-noo                                                                                                Laa-ta-koo-noo-kul-la-zee-na-ka-fa-roo                                                                                    Wa-qaa-loo-lay-ikh-waa-nay-him                                                                                                  Ezaa-dza-ra-bo-fil-ur-dzay-auo-kaa-noo-gho-zun                                                                        Lao-kaa-noo-in-da-naa-maa-maa-to-wa-maa-qo-tay-loo                                                          Lay-yuj-aa-lul-laa-ho-zaa-lay-ka-hus-ra-ton-fee-qo-oo-bay-him                                              Waul-laa-ho-yoh-yee-wa-yo-meet                                                                                                    Waul-laa-ho-bay-maa-tau-la-moo-na-ba-see-r

 

Listen you all who believed                                                                                                      Do not be like those who disbelieved                                                                                And said to their brethren                                                                                                  When they had travelled in the world or became conquerors                                    If they were with us, they would not died and not killed.                                             It was so that Allah makes it an anguish in their hearts.                                            By God Allah gives life and causes death.                                                                         By God Allah is the seer of all you do.

** Note 003:157. The words derived from a root in the Arabic language are in several categories. Fourteen (14) derivates are verbs in the present tense. Another twenty-eight (28) are verbs in the future tense by adding the pre-fixes of س or سوف. Many dozens of words are formed as adverbs, adjectives, and nouns in different forms called the Ubwab.( ابواب ). Following is an example of the derivates from the root ض ر ب as verbs in the past tense

Person   !         Gender            !   Singular       !    2-Plural      !   Plural (3 or more)

—————————————————————————————————

Third     !         Masculine        !      ضَرَ بَ        !           ضَرَبَا       !         ضَرَبُوۡا

—————————————————————————————————

Third     !          Feminine         !      ضَرَبَتۡ        !           ضَرَبَتا    !           ضَرَبۡنَ

—————————————————————————————————

Second  !         Masculine        !      ضَرَبۡتَ        !           ضَرَبۡتُما  !           ضَرَبۡتُمۡ

————————————————————————————————-

Second    !         Feminine         !        ضَرَبۡتِ      !           ضَرَبۡتُما  !           ضَرَبۡتُّنَ

—————————————————————————————————

First        !        Mas + Fem      !     ضَرَبۡتُ         !           ضَرَبۡنَآ    !           ضَرَبۡنَآ

—————————————————————————————————

 

The meanings of all derivates from the root ض ر ب include beating, fighting, hitting and striking. But in colloquial expressions a different concept is developed when joined with another word. For example, the past tense derivate ضَر بَ (pronounced as dza-ra-ba that means struck) if used  as in verse 003:157 with the phrase  فِى الۡاَرۡضِ (pronounced as fil-ur-dzay that means in the earth, land or world) would literally mean that he struck (or put his foot out from home) into the world but as a colloquial expression it means he went on a journey or travelled in the world.

** Note 020:027. The singular word اَمۡرِ (umray) generically includes all one needs in his actions, activities, affairs, behaviors, chores, concerns, conducts, duties, engagements, issues, matters, mission, problems, pursuits, and tasks to be tackled. The word in this enormous prayer has unlimited scope. Anyone using with this prayer can easily extend it to cover all of his needs. Moses a.s had prayed to fill his need to manage people by being able to hear and understand him. The management of people in his time did include the hiring and firing like he did to his brother. The field of management today includes control, effective communication and problem solving. The field of medicine or science could need research, data gathering and making judgment calls. The field of Law may include much more than what is mentioned in the Note to verse 003:148. In short this word can embrace whatever one needs in any occupation, profession or vocation.
