He said, “Could it be — if mandated
Upon you was the fighting — that you do not fight?”   

They said, “And what could be for us that we do not fight                                            In the cause of Allah and surely we were driven away                                                 From our homes and our children.”

And Allah knows well the wrongdoers.

Who is that who will loan to Allah a goodly loan                                                              So that He will multiply it for him exponentially many times over?                         And surely Allah decreases and increases.                                                                     And to Him you will return.

Some translators  have said ‘will double’ but really saying tripling, quadrupling or using such expression is man’s effort to quantify an infinitely unlimited phenomenon stated as  اَضۡعَافًا کَثِيۡرَة  in 4th and 5th word further down)

Note 002:246: This verse provides for making goodly loan to Allah.    This real key to the prosperity is dealt with at length, among other places, in the Chapter 092 and 073:021.    An impressive translation of  للّٰهُ يَقۡبِضُ وَيَبۡصُۜطُ   by Allama Nooruddin states, “Allah receives (the sacrifice) and amplifies and to Him you shall be made to return (to get the amplified reward of your deeds)”.

Note 002:244a. This phrase is a question. The addresses are all its readers.  

The segment  اَلَمۡ (= aa-laum = not) is a combination of two words. The first word أ (= aa) is a question mark. The second word لَمۡ  (= laum) means no, not, not at all, never. Jointly the combination means can’t, don’t, hasn’t, haven’t, shan’t or won’t as in verses

The segment تَرَ (= ta-ra = you looked at) is a combination of two words. The first word  تَ  (= ta) means ‘you’ which some authors mimicking the Western authors of their scriptures have translated as thou or thy. The second word رَ  (ra = v., past., s., 2nd person) means eyed, found, looked, observed, pondered, saw, seen, viewed, watched or witnessed. Translations like considered, evaluated, knew, noticed or realized are justified in some contexts. The past tense verb for single 3rd person is converted into that of plural 2nd person as explained in Note 001:007. Jointly the combination means you looked.

            Various authors have translated the phrase اَلَمۡ تَرَ اِلَى differently from each other. Some of them have differed from their own translations of other verses.

See verses 002:244, 002:247, 002:259, 003:024, 004:045, 004:050, 004:052, 004:061,  004:078, 005:063 and 105:002 among others.  

 

** Note 002:244b.  M Pickthall limited this rule to only the event of Exodus in the history of Jews.  Likewise AM Omar quoted his father, “Allah said to them ‘Die’ (with the result that this generation perished while wandering in the wilderness for forty years.)  Then (from the next generation) He revived them.” 

However, as a Rule of Universal Application this verse has a much broader scope of its application.  It indeed is an accurate record of an historical event.  It also is a forecast as the guidance relative to the similar events that will happen in the future of mankind.  It is one of the grounds that permits immigration.  It labeled as the Fear of Death is judicially held to be a good ground for the grant of Asylum and Refugee Status in the laws of all civilized jurisdictions and the charter of the United Nations.

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                                   002: 243

 

كَذَٲلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَڪُمۡ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

 

Ka-zaa-lay-ka-yo-buy-ye-nool-laa-ho-la-koom                                                                               Aa-yaa-tay-hee-la-ul-la-koom-tau-qay-loo-n.

 

Like this is how Allah makes clear to you                                                                          His revelations so that you behave wisely.

 

  • كَذٰلِكِ — Ka-zaa-lay-ka — Like this (= Combines two words. كَ means ‘example, like, identical resembling, similar.’   ذٰلِكَ   means ‘all this right in here and refers to an aforesaid event, fact, person or statement.    The combination means ‘even so’, ‘so it will be’, ‘such is the way‘, ‘that is how’, ‘the same way’, ‘this way’, ‘thus’)
  • يُبَيِّنُ — Yo-buy-yay-no(ol) — Explains (= Clarifies; elaborates; espouses; expounds; informs;  makes things crystal clear, obvious, plain and known well; sets limits for permissible activity)
  • اللّٰهُ — Laa-ho — Allah (= The Almighty God; The only One worthy of worship)
  • لَ — La — For (=1. For the attention, benefit, convenience, determination object, general convenience or purpose.  2. Belonging to, concerning, regarding; relative to. or intended for)
  • کُمۡ — Koom — You     *       (= pro., pl., m., 2nd person.   You.   The Holy Qor-aan states this way when addressing both men and women jointly)
  • ءَايَـٰتِ — Aa-yaa-tay — Signs (= n., pl of … An argument, corroboration, indication, insinuation, pointer, portent, sign, suggestion, symbol or token. See Note 002:074)
  • هٖ  — Hee — His (= pro., s., m., 3rd person. Refers to the Almighty God)
  • لَعَلَّ — La-ul-la — So that (= Gave chance; haply; hopefully; perchance; possibly;  hope and wish that it becomes; wishing a result to be)
  • کُمۡ — Koom — You (= pro., pl., m., 2nd person. You. The Holy Qor-aan states this way when addressing both men and women jointly)
  • تَعۡقِلُونَ  — Tau-qay-loon — You act wisely  (= v., pres., pl., 2nd person. Act intelligently, sensibly and smartly; understand. See Note 002:171.

 

* Note 002:243.  A simple straightforward translation by avoiding all paraphrasing is given on this site.    For example the last clause (This is how Allah makes His revelations clear to you so that you act wisely and reflect) has used the pronoun ‘koom’ twice and underscored the emphasis on ‘you’ as the addressee.    Paraphrasing this sentence by using ‘you’ only once as the English language would ordinarily do has been avoided here intentionally.    Other examples of this phenomenon include 002:220, 002:222, 002:267, 024:059, 024:060.

○ فَاِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ فَرِجَالًا اَوۡ رُكۡبَانًا ۚ فَاِذَآ اَمِنۡتُمۡ فَاذۡکُرُوا اللّٰهَ کَمَا عَلَّمَکُمۡ مَّا لَمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

 

Fa  in  khif  toom  fa  ray-jaa-laun  auo  rook-baa-nun                                                                  Fa  ezaa  aa-min  toom  fa  uz-ko-rool  laa-ha                                                                                   Ka-maa  ul-la-ma  koom  maa  laum  ta-koo-noo  tau-la-moon

 

So if you fear, then pray while walking or riding.                                                          Then when you get peace, then remember Allah                                                          Like what He has taught you and what you did not know before.

* Note 002:240.  This verse is related to the prior verse. It commands us to observe the prayers conscientiously. One extrapolation has been to pray all the time no matter how, what or where you happen to be. See our Commentary Iss-laam. A Yusuf Ai wrote of this command “As may be most convenient.” Ahmad Zidan stated to ‘pray in any situation.‘ Mostly translated is “If you are in a state of fear.” Implication is that you perform the prayers all the time, continually from the cradle to the grave. Pray as directed – in times of distress any which way you can and in times of peace the proper way.
