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.
