* Note 091:009. Several Translators have used their mastery over the English vocabulary and paired the translating words which sometime also rhyme or are acronyms like ‘sins and piety’, ‘wrongs and right’, ‘the bad and the good, ‘weaknesses and strength’, ‘evils and virtue’, ‘ Revealed to the soul the right and wrong of everything’ as Zafrulla Khan wrote, and so on. Such use of the words should be construed as their best effort done in good faith to convey the real intent of original text. No one word or phrase justifies criticizing others by pitching one combination against others as if they were any superior or inferior.

* Note 091:011. This Soorah invokes the testimony of many natural elements. Then it extends its theme to man’s inner-most mind, heart and soul that control his actions. Then it cites the illustration of a named nation which had violated the specified Prohibition. That nation had ruined itself by practicing precisely the prohibition laid out in this chapter. And verses 091:010 to 011 spell out the rule Universal Application that covers human life — even when separated from its theme, the evidence of natural elements and the example quoted.

The word اَفۡلَحَ (Uf-la-ha) used in 091:010 is a verb and its root reflects in its meanings an ‘accomplishment, achievement, success and winning’ that comes to all those who cleanse, purify, sanctify and set it on the path to keep growing.

The word خَابَ (Khaa-ba) used in 091:011 is a verb and its root reflects in its meaning the ‘destruction, ruin or utter failure’ that comes to all those who corrupt, damage, hurt or violate it.

Bothe the words اَفۡلَحَ (Uf-la-ha) and خَابَ (Khaa-ba) are followed by the pronoun هَا (haa) ‘her.’ It refers to the ‘aforesaid thing talked about’, which in instant case is the human soul. Like the sun that radiates light and heat and controls the earth, the soul of man initiates all his actions.
The phenomenon covers all categories of nations, tribes and families. The principle is applicable to all the geographical territories of region, countries and areas. The rule governs every culture, social value and law in which man and soul must live. It protects alike men and mothers, son and daughters, friends and wives, the whole society. The results may be good or bad based upon what one sows but he must reap his harvests. The rules of Universal Application have always been consistent and correct in consequence. Whoever follows or violates them or even attempts to do so receives his trophy or torment. Any apparent variance in the results is
short-lived and Truth comes as the final outcome. The stark reality is that one’s endeavors entail his success or ruin as he chose at the inception.
