Welcome Friends:  Ahlan wa sahlan<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t it wonderful when linguistic research of the Arabi tongue corrects our perspective and helps us discover original intent?  Now we can better grasp what God has been telling us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A verse we had always thought of as negative, or \u2018against us,\u2019 turns out to be positive and \u2018in our favor\u2019!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, from now on, whenever we hear someone quote part of Verse 9:51<\/a>, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLaa yuSeebuna illa ma kataba Allahu lana\u201d<\/em> we will feel our hearts warm up and bask in love for God and reliance on Him, and we will continue the verse saying: \u201cHuwa Mawlaana wa \u2018ala Allahi falyatawakkal al Mu\u2019minoon\u201d!!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhammad Asad\u2019s Translation of this Chapter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  <\/strong>Verses 62<\/a>–63<\/a> continue to describe the inner<\/em> traits of the hypocrites who seek to gain the good pleasure of the people around them, whereas they should be seeking the pleasure of God and His messenger, <\/em>IF indeed they were truly faithful.  What awaits them is the supreme disgrace<\/a> \/most awesome disgrace<\/a> (Ali\/Asad).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.  Verses 64-65 describe their apprehension (Asad: \u2018dread\u2019) at what the Prophet might receive of Revelation to disclose what is in their minds\/hearts.  Isn\u2019t it strange that hypocrites fear revelation which would disclose their reality, yet do not have faith in God Who knows their reality full well? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lame excuses they offer are in fact, a mockery, which Asad<\/a> refers to what they had said against the Prophet, peace upon him, in Verse 61.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asad\u2019s comment about different TYPES of hypocrites<\/a> is interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is in Verse 64 that we find first mention by name of The Hypocrites, \u2018Al Munaafiqoon, in this Sura.  In fact, they shall be mentioned by name three more times in the next nine verses, so let\u2019s better understand what \u2018nifaaq\/hypocrisy\u2019 is about before we continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do so, we must look to its Arabi definition from the root verb \u2018nafaqa-1<\/sup><\/a> \u0646\u0641\u0642\u2019.  The lexicon gives us such detailed images of what \u2018nifaaq\u2019 really is, that we Arabic-speakers not only are amazed, but also feel sorry to realize how distanced we have become from our beautiful mother-tongue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Nafaqa\u2019 is about something cut off and gone off in exit, and something concealed and submerged in hiding.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verb \u2018anfaqa-<\/em>\u0623\u0646\u0641\u0642<\/em>\u2019<\/em> means to spend, while <\/em>\u2018<\/em>nafaqa-<\/em>\u0646\u0641\u0642<\/em>\u2019<\/em> means to die.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The noun \u2018nafaq\u2019 is a tunnel in the ground with an outlet, while \u2018nafiqaa-<\/em> \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0641\u0650\u0642\u064e\u0627\u0621\u064f<\/em>\u2019<\/em> is the thinned-down exit capping a rodent<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s burrow, camouflaged from the outside, which the rodent hits against with its head, and exits.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these connotations combine to describe the Hypocrites.  They are masters of disguise, having literally exited the state of Eman\/Faith and Trust in God, cut themselves off, and submerged their truth where no one on earth can hold them accountable.  They are clever escape-artists, having prepared convenient \u2018camouflaged\u2019 exits wherever there is duty and responsibility.  In their minds, their underground hideouts are saving them, but the reality is that with every \u2018escape\u2019 they dig themselves deeper into the Pit of Jahannam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t Arabi beautiful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.  In Verse 66 God speaks TO the Hypocrites directly (after having spoken OF them), telling them not to present their excuses; that they have denied after having received faith, and that even if a portion among them were to be forgiven, the rest (the \u2018Mujrims\u2019)[1]<\/sup><\/a> shall be made to suffer.  I like Yusuf Ali<\/a>\u2019s definition of Hypocrisy as a half-way house; a state of indecision, which reminds us again of the rodent\u2019s tunnel, where there is darkness at one end and light at the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.  Verses 67-68 speak of them in the third person plural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 67<\/a> states WHO The Hypocrites\/Al Munaafiqoon are to each other and to the rest of the community.  Just as they have disregarded God, so shall He disregard them. Hypocrites are \u2018Deserters\u2019 -\u2018faasiq \u0641\u0627\u0633\u0642\u2019 (those who have committed Fisq\/a \u2018Breach of Faith\u2019 and brought themselves to the point of no return, as defined in Blog Post Day 73<\/a> and Blog Post Day 75<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 68<\/a> delivers to them EXACTLY what they had been dreading, and tells them of the consequence to their indecision:  They shall be with the Deniers, rejected by God, settled in the Fire of Jahannam, which suffices them.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jahannam suffices them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we recall Verse 59 which tells us that they should have said, \u201cGod Suffices us.  God will grant us of His Bounty; unto God Alone do we turn with hope.\u201d[2]<\/sup><\/strong><\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we remember Verse 3:173<\/a> when The Faithful -in contrast- were warned that they were surrounded by enemy armies, only to reply that God suffices them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.  Verse 69<\/a> again speaks to the Hypocrites about people just like them who had heedlessly enjoyed their portion of assets in life and had ended up being losers!  It is interesting to see the three assets mentioned here and note their order:  Power. Wealth. Progeny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 70<\/a> concludes this section, mentioning no less than six peoples who had received God\u2019s clear messages through their Messengers.  This warns hypocrites and listeners of what happens to those who choose to ignore their Messengers\u2019 guidance, ending by the statement that it would never be God Who wrongs them (or anyone else) but it is they who were wronging their own Selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is a fact oft-mentioned in the Qur\u2019an<\/a>\u2026 one everyone should be aware of!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.  Verse 71 presents the contrast (to verse 67):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And (as for) the Faithful (m) and the Faithful (f), some of them are Protectors of others, they enjoin what is mutually acceptable, and they forbid what is mutually objectionable, and they establish \u2018Salaat\/communion\/prayer,\u2019 and they come forward with \u2018Zakaat\/giving of themselves towards growth and purification (including spending),\u2019[3]<\/sup><\/strong><\/sup><\/a> and they obey God and His Messenger; it is they to whom<\/em> God shall be Merciful, indeed God is Invincible, Wise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We notice here SIX characteristics by which people earn the title \u2018The Faithful,\u2019 the first of which is that they are protective guardians of one another.  Let us remember THIS FIRST characteristic before we entertain the notion that focusing on the remaining five would be enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.  Verse 72 presents the contrast (to verse 68); a beautiful scene in the Everlasting Gardens. Both explanations of Ali and Asad are acceptable, except that Asad translates \u2018aden- Eden\u2019 in a similar way to the Hebrew, saying it means \u2018Bliss,\u2019 and Ali similarly says, \u2018everlasting bliss.\u2019  But \u2018Bliss,\u2019which means ecstasy or happiness is another concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The root-verb \u20183adana\u2019 in our lexicon means \u2018abiding,\u2019[4]<\/sup><\/a> explained below by two examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Camels attached<\/em> to a favorite grazing-spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The \u2018permanent qualities\u2019<\/em> residing in a person or thing; its ma3dan- \u0645\u0639\u062f\u0646.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, to our men who are named Adnan or Adnaan, – \u0639\u062f\u0646\u0627\u0646, this is about you too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adnaan is considered the grandfather of the Arab tribe from which Prophet Muhammad descended, from the line of Prophet Ishmael, peace upon them both.  He was \u2018adnaan,\u2019 perhaps because he made a permanent residence there, or was permanent in his inherent qualities, since the word relates to that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ma3dan means \u2018mineral,\u2019 related to the substance being resident in the earth, or to the permanent qualities of that substance. The word ma3dan also relates to the inherent characteristics of a person, obvious in a Saying of the Prophet, peace upon him, narrated by both Bukhari and Muslim to this effect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou will find that people are minerals\/ma3aadin.  The best among them in the Age of Ignorance are the best among them in Islam, if they learn and comprehend.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u062a\u062c\u062f\u0648\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u0633 \u0645\u0639\u0627\u062f\u0646\u060c \u062e\u064a\u0627\u0631\u0647\u0645 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0627\u0647\u0644\u064a\u0629 \u062e\u064a\u0627\u0631\u0647\u0645 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0625\u0630\u0627 \u0641\u0642\u0647\u0648\u0627<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, I would translate \u062c\u0646\u0627\u062a \u0639\u062f\u0646- Jannaat 3aden-  as \u2018Everlasting Gardens.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough said!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
