يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوۡا مِمَّا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ حَلٰلًا طَيِّبًا  ۖ وَّلَا تَتَّبِعُوۡا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّيۡطٰنِؕ اِنَّهٗ لَـكُمۡ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيۡنٌ

Listen, People!
You eat out of what is in the earth, lawfully and cleanly.   
And do not follow into the footsteps of Satan.
He certainly is an obvious enemy for you.

 

Verses 002:169, 002:173 and 006:119 explain what food is permissible

The Holy Qor-aan has used the Phrase Yaa-auy-yo-hun-naa-so … in many places

  • يٰۤ — Yaa — Listen (= Be attentive; pay attention; O!)
  • اَيُّهَا — Auy-yo-ha … (un) — You all (= All, entire, total or whole of the addressees or audience)

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  (maa) that means ‘all that, what, whatever, any time, when whenever.’   So the combination means ‘for what; out of what; concerning, regarding, relative to; thereby)
  • فِىۡ — Fe … (il) — In (= Contained in or amidst a duration, event, time, place, period, thing or situation; inside. See Note 002:028)

* Note 002:169a. The verses 002:169 to 177 bundled together show the Almighty God addressing three groups.

  • Firstly by 002169 He mandates mankind to eat out of what the earth has, lawfully and cleanly. The next three verses underscore other evils that undermine human beings.
  • Secondly by 002:173 He commands eating clean food and by 002:174 He prohibits the believers from eating the dead, the blood, the swine and whatever may be sacrificed for anyone besides Allah.
  • Thirdly by 002:175 to 002:177 He regulates those “who then (as some do now) either believe in too much formalism or believe in no restriction at all. Islam follows the Golden Mean.   All well regulated societies lay down reasonable limitations.   These become incumbent on all loyal members of any given society, and show what is “lawful” in that society” – A Yusuf Ali.

** Note 002:169b. People are cautioned here to be aware and avoid falling into the steps of Satan خُطُوٰتِ الشَّيۡطٰنِ as stated in the verses 002:169, 002:209, 006:143 and 024:022.

وَقَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّبَعُوۡا لَوۡ اَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّاَ مِنۡهُمۡ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوۡا مِنَّا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يُرِيۡهِمُ اللّٰهُ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ حَسَرٰتٍ عَلَيۡهِمۡؕ وَمَا هُمۡ بِخٰرِجِيۡنَ مِنَ النَّارِ

* Note 002:168a.   The mutual renunciation between leaders and their follower occurs often right in this world.   The reason for the renunciation usually is a wrong one party has done to some of the others.   The intense remorse and regret for the evil done becomes a fire which no one really escapes.   This extrapolation is done by several people including M Muhammad Ali.
** Note 002:168b.   This part of the verse describes the Rule of Universal Application that ‘Everyone reaps what he sows.’   It is beautifully verbalized by A Yusuf Ali as follows in his Note C-50

“The Society thus organised
Must live under laws
That would guide their every-day life
Based on eternal principles
Of righteousness and fair dealing.”

Certainly in the creation of the heavens and the earth
And the sequentially appearing (= alternation) of the night and the day
And the ships sailing in the ocean carrying cargoes with that people benefit
And what Allah downed from the rainwater out of the sky
Then with it He gave life to the earth after its death
And spread in it all kinds of live creatures
And the movement of the winds and the clouds
Harnessed between the sky and the earth
Certainly there are signs for people who act wisely.

Posted on December 5, 2015 by Abid

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                             002:161

 

اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ تَابُوۡا وَاَصۡلَحُوۡا وَبَيَّـنُوۡا فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَ تُوۡبُ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ وَاَنَا التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيۡمُ

              

Il-lul-la-zee-na-taa-boo-wus-la-hoo-wa-buy-ya-noo                                                                   Fa-olaa-aiy-ka-atoo-bo-alai-him                                                                                                     Wa-anut-tuw-waa-boor-ra-heem.

 

Except those who repented and reformed and made things clear.                    Then it is these that I turn to forgive them.                                                                        And I am the Utmost Forgiving, the Utmost Merciful.

 

The first three words are repeated in 002:161 and 005:035

  • اِلَّا — Il-la…(ul) — Except (= Apart from; but; besides; excluding; save; unless)
  • ٱلَّذِينَ — Ul-la-zee-na — Those who (= pl., m., 3rd person. All those articles, things or persons)

Repentance Requires Reformation is the rule. It’s repeated often. See Note 002:038.

  • تَابُوۡا — Taa-boo — Repented (= v., past., pl., m., 3rd person. Asked, begged and prayed to be excused, forgiven and pardoned. Expressed regret. Felt remorseful. Invoked compassion, kindness and  mercy by admitting and confessing fault, guilt and sin. Turned repentant.  See Note 002:038)
  • وَ — Wa —  And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses; additionally; but; also; more over; though; when; while; yet; whereupon)
  • اَصۡلَحُوۡا — Us-la-hoo — Reformed (= v., past., pl., m., 3rd person. Corrected; improved; made amends; reformed; did righteous deeds)

  • اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ — Olaa-aiy-ka — All (= Aforesaid facts or persons. Here those who ‘repent’)
  • اَ تُوۡبُ — Atoo-bo — I turn to forgive (= v., pres., s., 1st person. I turn in extreme compassion, kindness and mercy to forgive man’s mistakes, sins and wrongs. See Note 002:038. This Rule of Universal Application stated by a verb in the present tense is translated inaccurately when done in the past tense such as ‘forgave,’ ‘forgiven,’ ‘pardoned,’ ‘redeemed,’ ‘relented,’ ‘showed mercy’ or ‘turned in mercy’)
  • عَلَيۡ — Alai — On (= Above; against; before; for; on top of; over; to; upon)
  • هِمۡ — Him — Them (= pro., pl., m., 3rd person. Refers to aforesaid persons)
  • وَ — Wa — And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses. See وَ  above)

  • التَّوَّابُ — Tuw-waab .. (or) — Utmost Forgiving (= superlative form indicates the greatest, the highest, and highlights that none more than Him is ready to turn in compassion and mercy to accept the regret, remorse and repentance of man.

  • الرَّحِيۡمُ — Ra-heem — Utmost Merciful (= superlative form indicates the greatest, the highest, the most, and highlights that none more than Him shows mercy again and again, continually, incessantly and indefinitely like the endlessly and perpetually incoming waves from the oceans; Merciful Forever. See 001:001)

 

** 002:161: One’s resolve to be repentant essentially requires that it be followed by his actual action of amending his prior practices.
