The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                             003:105

 

وَلۡتَكُنۡ مِّنۡكُمۡ اُمَّةٌ يَّدۡعُوۡنَ اِلَى الۡخَيۡرِ وَيَاۡمُرُوۡنَ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ الۡمُنۡكَرِ‌ؕ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ‏

And surely there will be  among you a group of people                                            They call towards the good                                                                                                And they urge with the virtue                                                                                            And they stop from the evil                                                                                                    And all these people are the Successful.

 

  • وَ — Wa…(ul) — And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses; additionally; but; also; more over; though; when; while; yet; whereupon)
  •  لۡ — L — Surely (= Absolutely; assuredly; categorically; certainly; clearly, definitely; doubtlessly; earnestly; indeed; positively; really; truly; seriously; sincerely; specifically; verily)
  • تَكُنۡ — Ta-koon — Will be (= Become; develop; grow; rise; spring up. A very serious difference exists in translating this word as shown in our Commentary titled as ‘The Divine Forecasts Need No Human Assist’. The accurate translation is ‘there will be.’ The western and westernized translations are ‘let there be’ that suggest that Man has to do something to let the forecast happen and the event occur)
  • مِّنۡ — Min — From among (= Among, from or out of the class or category or several  articles, counts, kind, things, persons or phenomenon)
  • كُمۡ — Koom — You (= pro., pl., m., 2nd person., You . The Holy Qor-aan states that way when addressing both men and women jointly)

  • يَّدۡعُوۡنَ — Yud-oo-na — They call (= v., pres., pl., 3rd person. Address; beg; beseech; call on or upon; draw attention; invite; invoke; pray. The word in different contexts also means allure; appeal; attract; beckon; charm; exhort; guide; lure; summon; tempt; urge; usher)

                Next seven words repeated in 003:115 in the 3rd person format,                                 and their gist in 003:111 in 2nd person format, verbalize an                                           important concept about Islam. See our Commentary                                            titled the ‘Islam – 209 – Commandments and Prohibitions‘

  • يَاۡمُرُوۡنَ — Yau-mo-roo-na — They urge (= v., pres., pl., 3rd person. The verb here reflects man’s good actions and its best translation is to admonish, administer, bid, bring forth, cause, command, compel, dictate, direct, educate, enforce, enjoin, exhort, force, impose, instruct, lay down as law, lead down the path, mandate, motivate, move, order, preach, profess, prompt, push, spur, stimulate, teach, train, tutor or urge. However, these acts are best if done fairly, gently,  persuasively and not arbitrarily since the Holy Qor-aan requires in the verse 016:126 to ‘call to your God’s way with wisdom and goodly exhortation.’ See our aforesaid Commentary)
  • بِ — Bay…(il) — With (= Literally the word  بِ  means ‘with’)
  • الۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ‌ — Mau-roo-fay — The virtue (= n., Action, gesture, way or word which is appropriate, customary, decent, equitable, fair, good, graceful, gratuitous, honest, honorable, justice, lawful, legal, legitimate, nice, proper, reasonable, right conduct, righteous, suitable, virtuous and within one’s rights. See our aforesaid Commentary)
  • وَ — Wa — And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses. See وَ  above)
  • يَنۡهَوۡنَ — Yun-hao-na — They stop (= v., pres., pl., 3rd person. They stop or prohibit. See Note 003:105 and aforesaid Commentary)
  • عَنِ — Aa-nay…(il) — From (= About; concerning; regarding; relative to)
  • الۡمُنۡكَرِ‌ — Moon-ka-ray — The evil (= n., Something which inherently and all in itself is bad,  illegal, illegitimate, improper, indecency; repulsive, unacceptable; wicked or wrong.  See our aforesaid Commentary)
  • وَ — Wa — And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses. See وَ  above)
  • اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ — O-laa-aiy-ka — All of these (= Acts; facts, items, persons or things)
  • هُمُ — Ho-mo — They (= pro., pl., m., 3 rd person. Refers to the practitioners of aforesaid Commandment and Prohibition)
  • الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ — Moof-lay-hoo-n — The Successful (= n., pl., Achievers; prosperous; triumphant; victors; victorious; winners. A/t/a, ‘Who shall attain to their goal’ and ‘felicity.’ The successful people are defined as taking 6 steps [023:002 to 012] which    resembles the 8 steps by those ‘who pray’ and will be ‘honored’ in the paradise [070:024 to 036].

** Note 003:105. A stoppage or prohibition from something can possibly be (a) total, (b) attempted, or (c) condemned.

Total stoppage is by an act to block, counteract, deter, forbid, prevent, mandate, order, prohibit, restrain or stop.

Attempted stoppage is by an act to avert, forestall, limit, obstruct, push back, repel, resist, restrict or thwart.

Condemned stoppage is by a word of mouth to check, curtail, decry, denounce, deny, dissuade, negate, oppose, preach, profess, rebuke or reject.

A stoppage or prohibition is best if not done arbitrarily or capriciously. It must be done fairly, gently, persuasively like the doing of a good thing as mandated by the Holy Qor-aan verse 016:126 to “Call to your God’s way with wisdom and good sense.” It is by a gentle exhortation, exciting and exhilarating by one in the lead, and by a persistent persuasion, nudging and pushing forward by one in the rear.

Islam – 210 – Divine Will Needs No Human Assist

Posted on June 24, 2017 by Abid

ISLAM – 210

Translation – Divine Will Needs No Human Assist

 

The Holy Qor-aan in its verse 003:105 used the words  وَلۡتَكُنۡ مِّنۡكُمۡ اُمَّةٌ يَّدۡعُوۡنَ اِلَى الۡخَيۡرِ  which when translated accurately mean “And surely there will be among you a group of people.”

 

The translation of words لۡتَكُنۡ   (Surely there will be) is a forecast about Man’s betterment. This promise of God Almighty has been filled and will keep on filling again and again. He is the Sole Arbiter to decide what kind of people will serve which of His purposes and when in time. Every cultivating, developing and raising of such a nation rests with Him Alone, and no human being.

 

M M Pickthall translated it as “And there may spring up from you a nation” using the word may [showing there was a possibility]. But he would have been pin-pointedly accurate if instead of the word may he had used the word will [stating that as a definite forecast].

 

M Mohammad Ali translated it as “There should be” but that does not reflect a definite promise by the Almighty God.

 

But the translations  “Let there Be” [Ahmad Zidan , AR Omar, M Sher Ali, M Zafrulla Khan and Malik Ghulam Farid] and “Let there arise out of you” [A Yusuf Ali, Dr Khan and Dr Al-Hilali] are simply inaccurate.

 

Translating   لۡتَكُنۡ   as “Let There Be” shows that man has to procure, participate or permit the fulfillment of this promise of God. Nothing else could be farther from Truth. God promised that “There will be” and that is the final statement.

 

No man has any right to claim that he is acting on God’s behalf. No man can impose his will on others as if it were God’s will. No man can establish what is good or bad in accordance with his definitions. No overt act by man is required to implement God’s Will.

 

The absurd notion that the Will of God needs an Assist by man has made man act at his worst. Such assumptions have corrupted many nations, societies and even religions.  Claims like that have created new casts, classes and creeds.

 

God Almighty revealed the Holy Qor-aan to the Prophet Mohammed s.a.w. The miracle was that a man who could not read, write or author had yet delivered to the world a perfect code for human life. Moslems naturally sought to emulate that Best Exemplar s.a.w but their leaders glorified his being unschooled so much that they led Moslem nations to remain ignorant..

 

Many world leaders supported by their cronies have been acting criminally. For others they used some authority to drive them as a herd of cattle and fed them misguided fancies. For themselves they monopolized control by doctrines like the Law of Primogeniture, caliphate and monarchy. They and their yes-men courtiers amassed power, prestige and property that way.

 

History shows many cultures who subdivided their people in classes and sects. Each subdivision was glorified with a different name, assigned distinct functions and aggrandized with distinguishing titles. History will keep repeating unless this methodology is leashed up.

 

Somehow four artificial classes were carved out by cutting up their populace.

 

All men are equal but Hindus divided them in four classes (See our Commentary ‘World Peace through Law’). Brahmans on top were sanctified to only worship. Chuttries were assigned to make, manage and multiply money by doing business. Vaish warriors were glorified to build army and police to protect the upper classes. The left-over majority was dubbed as the Achoot or Untouchables, given no rights or respect, saddled only with the obligation to menially serve the elite upper classes, and condemned to that life eternally by remaining the lowest class generation after generation without ever breaking the cycle.

 

All men are equal but Ismailia and Archdiocese have used religion-based classifications. The predominant technique is to place the biggest donors on the highest altar. It is professed that giving more money to The Agha or local priest brings one closer to God and the Paradise. The measure is that smaller donations increase the distance between the giver and God’s Grace.

 

All men are equal but another leadership religiously enforces percentage collection of all income of their followers. One of its brochures lists over ten Funds and percentage of income is the fixed collection for them. It openly ridicules the view that a forced collection from adherents is no real measure of their belief. Its spot-collectors work voluntarily but top producers get perks like air travels and several honors. It acts as if God had authorized monetizing and measuring the sincerity by the size of the donations. It frowns upon the worship of private giving even though that is recommended (002:272, 013.023). It disfranchises its entire fourth class from voting but the decisions by other classes still bind it too. It defies its founder who exhorted the followers to give charity regularly albeit a penny’s fraction.

 

Seeing all above the prayer that evokes in a just mind is “God, because You have blessed me, I won’t ever protect the wrongdoers” [028:018]. Few prayers prop up to defend the wrongdoers. A judicious person safeguards the rights of those who do not even know that they have any rights.

The Connections with God and Man

Posted on June 20, 2017 by Abid

The Connections with God and Man

 

Man must recognize, respect and revere connections with God and his fellow beings [003:104]. God created man [076:003] of best make [095:005] from what was nothing to be talked about before [076:002]. Man turns aside if blessed but comes back begging for more blessings if hurt [017:084, 041:052]. He never gets tired of asking for more good [041:050] but sends ahead only wickedness [075:006] as if his bones won’t be put together [075:003] and he given life again.

 

Man in Arabic is called INSAAN. It is derived from the root UNS which means love. The word Insaan is the plural-for-two-persons which is a unique feature of the Arabic grammar.

 

Man is thus created with two inborn loves. One is love for God. The other is his concern for his fellow beings. The verse [003:104] emphasizes that man must serve both connections.

 

Man’s love for his Creator is expressed by being taken care of. God created man so he may worship Him [051:057]. God is the Provider who created all that is necessary for man’s life [002:030]. God demands no food or feeding from man [051:058]. Nevertheless man is greedy, selfish, ungrateful [042:049, 022:039], takes for granted everything, expects for more, and keeps asking all the time as if worshiping God was just another means to reach his earthly goals.

 

Man’s love for his fellow beings is expressed by taking care of. Examples of how man keeps giving are everywhere. See a mother give and give for her children and their father, her own father and brothers. See billions in the congregations of all religions in the world just give and keep on giving. Yet the parasitic clergy in the religion exploits man’s innate nature to give — except a few takers who comparatively are a tiny fraction of the percentage of those givers.

 

God gives. Man takes. Then most men share with others all they get [057:019, Law of Charity] and Worship None Except God. But a tiny percentage of men start being worshiped by others and it is they whose such pursuit merits to be thwarted by other men, the mankind.

 

The Holy Qor-aan lays down Islam [See Islam -101] to cover all elements of human life. It pens down what rights man has. It lays out the obligations how others must honor those rights.

 

Learning the Holy Qor-aan, knowing Islam, understanding the real Humanism, attaining Righteousness, obtaining Salvation, or whatever other terminology one may use, are like a ship on the high seas that has a captain, crew and cargo. It has fair-paying passengers on many decks, levels and rooms. All in the ship and even those clinging to it reach its destination when it gets there. Man’s relations with other men are like that ship. God’s plan is destined to be filled.

 

God created man to worship Him [051:057] and do noble deeds whether a Moslem, Jew, Christian [002:063, 005:070, 022:018], or likewise a Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh or whatever. God promises to forgive violations of connections to Him. However, disregarding connections with man and others and flouting them is a different ballgame as underscored by the verse [003:104].

And you all hold fast the rope of Allah and don’t be divided.                                  And remember the blessing of Allah upon you when you were enemies.

Then He created love among your hearts                                                                           So, you with His grace became  brethren.

And you were on a crumbling edge of a pit of Fire                                                          Then He saved you from falling into it.

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                                 003:103

 

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ تُقٰتِهٖ وَلَا تَمُوۡتُنَّ اِلَّا وَاَنۡـتُمۡ مُّسۡلِمُوۡنَ

 

Yaa  auy-yo-ha  ul-la-zee-na  aa-ma-noo  (ot)                                                                                  Ta-qo  ol-laa-ha  hauq-qa  to-qaa-tay  he                                                                                      Wa  laa  ta-moo-toon-na  il-laa  wa  aun-toom  moos-lay-moon

 

Listen, you all who have believed!                                                                                        Do duty to Allah, truthfully afraid of angering Him.                                                      And don’t you die except when you really are submissive.

     

The Holy Qor-aan has used the Phrase Yaa-auy-yo-hul-la-zee-na-aa-ma-noo many times

  • يٰۤ — Yaa — Listen (= Be attentive; hearken; pay attention; O!)
  • اَيُّهَا — Auy-yo-ha … (ul) — You all (= All addressees; entire audience; whole lot of listeners)

See Commentaries like Islam – 101, Phrase Aa-ma-noo-wa-aa-may-loos … and Believe and Disbelieve that floodlight other aspects how the Holy Qor-aan has used this word)
  • اتَّقُوا — Tuq-qo … (ol) — Do duty to (= v., pres., pl., 2nd person. Love so much that you fear  angering Him. Be clean, righteous and mindful of your duty to God. Become God-fearing, pious and righteous. Clean inner self. Guard against or ward off evil. See Commentary ‘The Righteous‘)

  • لَا — Laa — Do not (= Absolute denial; never; no; not at all; total negation)
  • تَمُوۡتُنَّ — Ta-Moo-toon-na — You die (= v., pres., pl., 2nd person. Breathe your last. Go to next life after death. Depart from life and this world. Leave the world. Let death overtake you. Live every moment of life until the death comes)

  • وَ — Wa — And when (= Conj., It links words, phrases or clauses. See وَ  above)
  • اَنۡـتُمۡ — Aun-toom — Really you (= pro., pl., m., 2nd person. You men. Generally this way the Holy Qor-aan addresses both men and women. The first part of the word اَنۡ — that on its own means certainly earnestly, indeed, really, truly, etc., — makes the word convey a state of a totality)
  • مُسۡلِمُوۡنَ — Moos-lay-moo-n — Submissive (= n., At peace. Dedicated, devoted, endowed or obedient. In total submission and surrender like a servant. State of being in complete submission and surrender. Subservient. Some translators have narrowed down his word to mean those “in the Faith of Islam (Muslims  – Islamic Monotheism.” 

 

* Note: 003:103. The word  حَقَّ  (= Huq-qa) has been translated variously such as the following in single words, long phrases and sentences adding words in italics as explanatory.

  • As Islam, the Right Faith.
  • As n, Appropriateness; equitability; exactness; fairness; just cause; justification; justice; justified conduct; precision. Reasonableness that is absolute, solid and total. Truth.

  • “Fear GOD as He should be feared.” [A Yusuf Ali, Ahmad Zidan].
  • “As it ought to be” [Allama Nooruddin].
  • “As you rightly should” [N J Dawood].
  • “In all respects, every moment of your lives, so that death, whenever it overtakes you, should find you in a state of complete submission to Him” [M Zafrulla Khan]
  • Not translated here is this word as a verb (= past., s., 3rd person) since that would be inappropriate. Bur the same word is also a verb and translated appropriately as a such in 007:031.

 

Reproduced

* Note 002:133. The last six words of verses 002:133 and 003:103 are the same. In 002:133 they are the advice of prophets Abraham and Jacob a.s to their children. In 003:103 they are the direction  to Believers to do duty to God as it should be done – appropriately, diligently and judiciously.

These six words have also been translated as ’till your last breath you remain in the state of a total surrender’ to God Almighty’. Their essence is also conveyed in the Urdu prayer Anjaam Ba-khair Ho.
