Ibn Faris [died 1005] stated:

(مقاييس اللغة)

الراء والفاء والعين أصلٌ واحدٌ، يدلُّ على خلاف الوضع. تقول: رفعتُ الشيءَ رفعاً؛وهو خلاف الخَفْض.

That it leads to the perception contrary to laying downwards; it denotes raising, exalt, and it is opposite to dropping, loweing.

Lane Lexicon: He raised it: [this is generally the best rendering, as it serves to indicate several particular significations which will be found explained in what follows:] he elevated it; upraised it; uplifted it: he took it up: contr. of خَفَضَهُ: (Msb:) or of وَضَعَهُ:

Contra. Root:

  • On listening it they had replied; "We have heard it, but we have not accepted it".

مگر جب موسیٰ علیہ السلام نے انہیں سنایا تھا تو)انہوں نے جواب دیا’’ہم نے سن لیا ہے،مگرہم نے تعمیل نہ کرنے کا فیصلہ کیا ہے‘‘۔)

  • You respond to their claim of belief in what was sent to them, "Petty-vile is that which your belief commands-dictates you, reflect if you people were truly the believers." [2:93]

  • اپنی تاریخ کے متعلق اور جان لو؛جس وقت ابراہیم اور اسماعیل(علیہما السلام)ہمارے گھر کی تعمیر کا آغاز کر کے بنیادوں کو اوپر اٹھا رہے تھے ،انہوں نے دعا مانگی ’’ہمارے رب!ہماری جانب سے  اس معماری کو شرف قبولیت بخشیں۔

  • And if Allah the Exalted had so willed, the people; who were generation later in times after them (demise of Messengers), would not have mutually distanced-discarded each other in the presence of that which the distinct Aayaa't-Verbal passages of message had conveyed to them.

  • However, they purposely differed for motives-vested interest, thereby some amongst them accepted the Aayaa't: Verbal passages of message and some others of them refused to accept.

  • And had Allah the Exalted so willed they would not have mutually distanced away-discarded each other; but Allah the Exalted indeed does that which He the Exalted decides. [not to suspend/take away the granted freedom of choice/will]. [2:253]


  • [And Allah the Exalted devised a rescue plan] When Allah the Exalted had told him the plan:

  • "O Easa, I am about to get you segregated, and moving you to elevated place for My cause-elevated place, (safe abode-Refer 23:50]

  • And am about to render you disassociated well rid of impure company of those who have disavowed.

  • And I am about to render those as ranked high till the Day of Rising who would have moved behind you upon those (second group of Bani Iesraa'eel) who have disavowed.

  • And indeed He is certainly oft-Forgiving and Merciful. [6:165]


  • And had Our Majesty decided We would have indeed elevated-intellectualized him with these; but for the reason that he incessantly inclined towards the worldly interests and followed his desires and conjectures

  • Thereat, (because of hardened attitude for his vested interests, facts lost relevance for him), his similarity-equation was like that peculiar sled dog should you subject him to physically carry weight upon him he would pant; or should you relieve him even then he would pant.

  • This (sled dog-like) is the similitude of people who persistently contradicted Aa'ya'at: Verbal passages of Our Book.

  • Therefore, you the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] narrate this episode in these words so that they might self reflect objectively. [7:176]

  • Indeed my Sustainer Lord is au fait of all niceties and delicacies, subtlety, refinements in what He wills/desires.

  • Certainly, He the Exalted is intrinsically the Fountain of knowledge of visible and invisible domains; and the Infinitely Just Supreme Administrator of the created realm." [12:100]
