The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                   113:001 to 006

Verses of the Holy Qor-aan are quoted on this site with a 6-digit number; the first three digits tell of Soorah (Chapter) and the last three digits tell of verse. Numbering includes بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ‏‏    as verse #1 in every Soorah except Soorah #9. The phonetic transliteration in English is based upon words commonly pronounced as bat, cat, sat → fate, gate, hate → bait, trait → bay, nay, say → be, he, she → bet, pet, wet → bit, fit, sit → cot, dot, rot → boot, hoot, root → bout, rout → but, cut, hut, rut. An Arabic letter with the vowel Fatah is best shown with a‘u’ as in cut, hut, rut, but letter ‘a’ is often placed before ‘u’ to make it doubly sure that it is read as in cause, pause, clause and not with a sound of ‘oo’ as in hoot, root, shoot or put. All Arabic words are translated in American English and are followed by alternates which other translators have used.

The Holy Qor-aan                                          113:003                                           ۙ      مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

Holy Qor-aan                                                 111:002                                            تَبَّتۡ يَدَآ أَبِى لَهَبٍ۬ وَتَبَّ     

Taub-baut  ya-daa  aa-bee  la-ha-bin  wa  taub

Destroyed are both hands of Abee Lahb (Father of flames) and he is ruined

  • تَبَّتۡ — Taub-baut — Destroyed (= v., past., pl., 3rd person. Perished; ruined. A/t/a “May … he perish”)
  • يَدَآ — Ya-daa — Both hands (= n., 2pl for two things (unique in Arabic). Two hands. Hand is the terminal part of a body where an arm ends. Refers to one’s front and back covered by powerful allies whom he can reach for help and succor. Both flanks strengthened by big mighty supporters)

  • تَبَّ — Taub — Ruined (= v., past., s., 3rd person. Annihilated. Destroyed. Doomed. Perished. Totally failed)

** Note 111:002a. This verse is an historical account of an individual.  He had amassed a lot of wealth, muscle power and gathered supporters to covering his flanks.  He was an uncle of Holy Prophet s.a.w and his staunchest opponent and named Abee-Lahb.  Name Abee-Lahb is also a phrase which is comprised of two different, quite distinct words.  The first is أَبِى  which means the father, master, owner or person with power and control.  The second is لَهَبٍ  which literally means the flames and refers to the hot-tempered person.  The combination of these 2 words reflects a person who has a fiery temper and a short fuse.  Such men usually attract more of their kind around them and form gangs to reflect leaders.  His name portrayed his character.

** Note 111:002b. This verse provides an historical account about an individual who had a lot of muscle power and gathered many supporters covered his flanks. They all perished when they opposed the Messenger of God. A similar, total and utter ruin awaits those who oppose the work of God being pursued by those engaged in that. This is a rule of universal application.

** Note 111:003. The word  مَاۤ  has more than one meaning, including no, not all, never as well as all that, what, whatsoever as shown in Note 004:067. Much wider meanings spring up by seeing this word as a combination of two words. Firstly, مَاۤ (maa) meaning all that; whatever or whatsoever. Secondly,  لَ  (la) meaning belongs to, is owned by, is for the benefit, purpose or reason. But the word  مَالُ  (maa-lo) is different and means all that is owned, assets, belongings, benefits, connections, concessions, gains, money, property, richness, savings, wealth, etc.)

** Note 111:003a. There is a clear distinction between مَا لُهُ ۥ and  مَا ڪَسَب. The former means the assets, property, wealth and fortune a person may have inherited. The latter includes all that he may have himself earned and added to aforesaid inheritance. The moral is that whoso abuses his resources will see them wasted if not put to good use. This forecast for the future is a matter of universal application for the entire mankind.  Anything abused or misused will destroy the very abuser and misuser.

110:001 to 004

Posted on June 25, 2015 by Abid

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                    110:001 to 004

Verses of the Holy Qor-aan are quoted on this site with a 6-digit number; the first three digits tell of Soorah (Chapter) and the last three digits tell of verse. Numbering includes بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ‏‏    as verse #1 in every Soorah except Soorah #9. The phonetic transliteration in English is based upon words commonly pronounced as bat, cat, sat → fate, gate, hate → bait, trait → bay, nay, say → be, he, she → bet, pet, wet → bit, fit, sit → cot, dot, rot → boot, hoot, root → bout, rout → but, cut, hut, rut. An Arabic letter with the vowel Fatah is best shown with a‘u’ as in cut, hut, rut, but letter ‘a’ is often placed before ‘u’ to make it doubly sure that it is read as in cause, pause, clause and not with a sound of ‘oo’ as in hoot, root, shoot or put. All Arabic words are translated in American English and are followed by alternates which other translators have used.

* Note 110:004a.   The word  اسۡتَغۡفِرۡ  literally means ‘Seek forgiveness.’   Prophets are known to exemplify the revelations to them.   That is why one interpretation has been to “Seek forgiveness’ for others who join in waves in regard to their human shortcomings.” However, enormously broader meanings are to “Implore forgiveness for not only yourself but also for all those who already have joined you and those behind who have yet to join you in regard to all their human frailties, shortcomings and weaknesses.” See our Commentary “Praying for others”

The concept was well-worded by Dr Majid Ali in a poem that can be translated as follows.
The Greatness of the Great God (Azam) is for everyone
The worship of His worshiper (Abid) is for everyone.

Indeed the prayers and worship of a true worshiper are for all – for everyone and not just anyone.   The Great Glorious God mandated the Holy Prophet s.a.w to do that to benefit all.   He directed him s.a.w with the “You Say” specifically and singularly as an Abid (109:005).   He labeled His bondsmen as Qao-min Aabedeen (a nation of those who are Abid) (021:107).   He declared him s.a.w as the “Blessing and Mercy for all those in the Universe” (021:108).   He entrusted all the followers of the Holy Prophet s.a.w with that responsibility (002:005).   He had set up a similar reward (and the duty) in the Zaboor (the Book of David) and the Zikr (the Book of Moses) that His servants will ‘inherit the land’ (= rule the world) – 021:106.

** Note 110:004b.   The meanings of the words from the Arabic root of التَّوَّابُ are so vast and varied that they can’t be compressed or condensed in a word or phrase in English.   They imply BESEECHING for 1) forgiveness, 2) recovery, 3) reversal, 4) rewards better than those sought even when the acts seeking them prove to be mistakes and 5) the Almighty God generously forgiving all mistakes and granting all that was initially requested in the prayers.   See also 002:038 and 002:055.

  2. Secondly, the Olive era when the Prophet Noah on the 40th in his ark on the flood waters released a bird. The bird returned with a dry twig of an olive-tree in its beak. It became clear that the land was nearby, flood about to end, and man going to find peace.

  4. Finally, the City of Peace (Muk-kuah) era where the Holy Prophet Mohammed s.a.w got the perfection of the Book, the completed Code and the Faith finished to its apex.

* 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.

  • هَا — Haa — It (= pro., s., f., 3rd person. Refers to the human soul which like the sun controls all actions of a human being)

* 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.

108:001 to 004

Posted on June 21, 2015 by Abid

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                  108:001 to 004

Verses of the Holy Qor-aan are quoted on this site with a 6-digit number; the first three digits tell of Soorah (Chapter) and the last three digits tell of verse. Numbering includes بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ‏‏    as verse #1 in every Soorah except Soorah #9. The phonetic transliteration in English is based upon words commonly pronounced as bat, cat, sat → fate, gate, hate → bait, trait → bay, nay, say → be, he, she → bet, pet, wet → bit, fit, sit → cot, dot, rot → boot, hoot, root → bout, rout → but, cut, hut, rut. An Arabic letter with the vowel Fatah is best shown with a‘u’ as in cut, hut, rut, but letter ‘a’ is often placed before ‘u’ to make it doubly sure that it is read as in cause, pause, clause and not with a sound of ‘oo’ as in hoot, root, shoot or put. All Arabic words are translated in American English and are followed by alternates which other translators have used.

Bay  iss-may  il-laa-hay  ir-rah-maa-nay  ir-ra-hee-m

With the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful I begin

(Beginning, commencing, starting)

  • بِ — Bay … (is) — With (= The best translation of the word  بِ  is ‘with’ but some contexts may warrant its translation as ‘in’)
  • سۡمِ — Iss-may … (il) — The name of (= The way to be addressed or called)
  • اللهِ — Laa-hay … (ir) — Allah (= The Almighty God; the One Only worthy of worship)

The Greatest and Highest Benefactor Who wills goodness and mercy to all His creation See Note 001:001)
  • الرَّحِيۡمِ — Ra-hee-m — The Most Merciful (= adj., Superlative form indicates the Greatest Merciful. Merciful Forever. The word floodlights that none more than Him shows kindness and mercy, again and again, continually, incessantly, like perpetually coming waves from oceans)

In-naa  au-tai-naa  ka  ul-kao-ther

We certainly gave you the Abundance.

  • إنَّآ — In-naa– We certainly (= Combines two words.  اِنَّ  means ‘certainly, definitely, surely or verily. And  نَآ  means all of us. Joined together the word  اِنَّا (in-naa) combines both meanings. The addressee of this divine message is initially the Holy  Prophet s.a.w  See below and the Note 002:005)
  •  اَعْطَيْنَا — Au-tai-naa — We gave (= v., past., pl., 1st person. Awarded. Bestowed. Blessed.  Conferred. Donated. Gave. Gifted. Granted. Placed. For the meanings of  نَآ see the prior word)

** Note 108:002. The segment  نَآ  (naa = pro., pl., 1st person) means we, us, our and ours. Used with God’s name it reflects the authoritative way a higher-up talks to a subordinate. Its repetition as a part of two consecutive words in a small 4-worded verse has added exclusivity in the meanings, i.e., “It’s We and Only We Who gave you all that Abundance”)

** Note 108:003. The prayer دَ رُ وْ د  شَرِيْف  (drood) is very comprehensive.

  • It can be offered at any time. It expresses gratitude which must be done night and day, all the time, in everything, as directed in in 003:192.
  • It must be offered over a dozen times every day. It is an integral part of every one of the prayers – both the mandated five and the optional two every day. See our Commentary Islam 104 – 5 Acts of worship or Pillars of Islam.
  • It covers two distinct areas.

The first segment uses the word  صَلٌِ, a request in the 2nd person format to make others in the 3rd person invoke blessings (Note 002:004c) on Mohammad, the Holy Prophet, s.a.w. This segment also uses another derivate from its Root, i.e., a verb in the past tense, quoting an example from history and beseeching like you did in the past for Abraham.

The second segment uses the word  بَا رِكْ , a request in the 2nd person format made to the addressee to Himself bless the beneficiary, Mohammad, the Holy Prophet, s.a.w. This segment also uses another derivate from its Root, i.e., a verb in the past tense, quoting an example from history and beseeching like you did in the past for Abraham.

(===)

The Holy Qor-aan                                       108:004                                        إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلۡأَبۡتَرُ

In-na  shau-nay-aa  ka  ho-wa  ul-aub-ter

** Note 108:004. This small Soorah has numerous interpretations and extrapolations. Its purport lies in its four simple words:  You.  Abundance.  Enemy.  Childless.

  • ‘You’ refers to the Holy Prophet a.w as the primary addressee of this divine message. Secondary addressee is every Moslem, in fact every human being.
  • ‘Abundance’ of good in the form of the Holy Qor-aan is what the Almighty God gave. Anyone can enjoy the proliferating advantages of this Abundance by utilizing it.
  • The ‘enemy’ won’t see the value of this Abundance. His eyes are covered under his own veil of animosity. He will miss taking advantage of its unending benefits.
  • The enemy is destined to die ‘Childless’ like dead wood. No one will succeed him. No one will perpetuate his legacy. No one will follow him or in next generation miss him.

It is an assurance. The Holy Prophet s.a.w and his companions who were brutalized with extreme atrocities before their days of power were assured of a bright and brilliant future as practitioners of Islam.

It is a forecast. Moslems who believe and practice the teachings of the Holy Qor-aan are foretold that they will grow and multiply and their opponents will deteriorate all the way into a total extinction.

It is a lesson. Today is the proof that the forecast was right. Today shown in history are  examples of believers success. Today reiterated for the future are promises of similar successes as long believers continue remaining righteous.

It is a universal truth. Humans reap benefits of Truth. Followers attain spiritual strength and worldly benefits laid out in the teachings of this verse. Doomed to destruction and eventual oblivion are those who practice falsehood.
