اَلَمۡ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوۡا نَصِيۡبًا مِّنَ الۡكِتٰبِ يُدۡعَوۡنَ اِلٰى كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلّٰى فَرِيۡقٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَهُمۡ مُّعۡرِضُوۡنَ‏

 

 

Aa-lum-ta-ra-aiy-lul-la-ze-na-oo-too-na-see-bun                                                                          May-nul-kay-taa-bay-yood-auo-na-elaa                                                                                          Kay-taa-bil-laa-hay-lay-yah-ho-ma-bai-na-hoom                                                                        Thoom-ma-ya-ta-wul-laa-fa-re-qoon-min-hoom                                                                     Wa-hoom-moe-ray-dzoo-n.

 

Why don’t you look at those who were given a part                                                        From the Book calling them towards **                                                                              The Book of Allah so that it could decide among them.                                                Then a group among them turns away                                                                                 And they are averse to accept the truth.

 

See Phrase Aa-lum-ta-ra … meaning Why don’t you look at.

  • أَ — Aa — Why (= Question mark like are, can, have, shall, why or will?)
  • لَمۡ — Lum — Don’t (= Absolutely never; no, not at all)
  • تَرَ — Ta-ra — You look (= v., pres., pl., 2nd person. Look; observe; ponder; view;   watch; witness. See Note 002:244a)
  • اِلٰٓى — Aiy-la … (ul)  At (= In the direction of; to; towards. In some situations, this   word can also mean for, till or until)

  • مُّعۡرِضُونَ — Moe-ray-dzoo-n — Averse (= Against, declining, hostile, opposed, paying no heed, turning back or withdrawn from accepting the truth and appropriate adjudication in sheer aversion)

 

Note 003:024. Two very distinct meanings have been translated from the one word يُدۡعَوۡنَ which describes the action of the People of Book. Most translations are that they called “them towards … the Book of Allah so that it could decide among them.” But some stated that they “invoke the Scripture of Allah (in their disputes) that it may judge between them.” The academic difference between calling “towards … the Book of Allah” or invoking “the scripture … (in their disputes) that it may judge between them” does not significantly alter the rule.  

The rule laid in this verse applies universally to all people at all times. It will apply to the nations in future just as it applied to the past. The history quotes innumerable instances in almost every country, every creed and every culture. To save their lives the victimized Israelite ran from Pharaoh just as the modern age Syrians are running from ISIS-controlled territories.
