سَ+ نُرِي + هِم

سَ is a particle peculiarly prefixed to the مضارع  aorist rendering it clearly denotative of the future only.

It also denotes continuance, permanence/ recurrence of some happening in future. It reflects that thing shall keep happening time and again in the future. Knowledge and facts mentioned in the Book will keep coming into our sight.

نُرِي

First person, plural,  Root   ر أ ى

It signifies seeing with the eye, arouse attention, consideration. It also signifies mental perception, conception, notion, idea. It is in any case related to physical senses. When it has two complements it necessarily means knowing, have knowledge.

plural, single ءَايَةً

"it properly signifies any apparent thing inseparable from a thing not equally apparent, so that when one  perceives the former, he knows that he perceives the other, which he cannot perceive by itself, when the two things are of one predicament; and this is apparent in the object of sense and in that of the intellect" (Er-Raghib) {Quote from Lane}

A sign, token, mark, by which a person or thing is known.

It is a matter of common knowledge that we perceive and store things in the memory only by comparison. ءَايَةً signifies only apparent thing which has dimensions. And information about a thing can be stored in the memory only when we know its code, i.e. its اسم name and we know its dimensions through focusing our eyes, i.e. بصر .

A piece of information/data/ knowledge. A message, or communication

هِم

ضمير مفعول Pronoun objective complement, plural. Those mentioned in 41:52, who refuse to  accept Qur'aan as a revelation from  Allah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

: Perception and meanings; it is NOT Spider's Web.

 

                Grand Qur'aan had informed mankind, 1400 years back, as follows:

  • We will henceforth keep visually exposing Our tangible-physical realities prevalent in the Universe-horizons and in their own bodies to the eyes of those who do not accept the Qur'aan.

  • The purpose of this visual manifestation is that it might become self manifest for them that Qur'aan is Infallible Doctrine-Discourse of Reality-Profitability and substance of permanence.

  • [Reverting to their conduct] Do you think that your Sustainer Lord has not yet been considered to suffice as ultimate observer?

  • The fact is that He the Exalted  is the One and only Who is the Observer-the Omnipresent upon every thing/whole time and space. [41:53]

 

Grand Qur'aan informed that Allah the Exalted will keep bringing to human visual access, the knowledge about universe and human body, whereby the fact that Grand Qur'aan is a Statement of Proven Fact/absolute reality might become self manifest to the people who keep denying it. Why a first time observation of hitherto unseen thing manifests that the Qur'aan is a statement of proven fact? This is possible only if the same thing finds verbal mirroring of it in the Qur’aan. Verbal specification and visual observation are two aspects of identification of a tangible fact of real existence, as denoted by Arabic word: . The visual observation of an earlier unseen fact will manifest a book written earlier in time as the Book of Facts which contains its verbal presentation. This will establish that the Book really contains verbal statements of physical/scientific facts and is not conjectural, hypothetical and presumptive in its contents.

The people who call, worship, submit in and demonstrate allegiance to hand made sculpted statues and others; considering them various iela'aha: deities, never have a plausible argument to advance except claiming that they are following the footsteps of their forefathers. This is nothing but emotionalism far from logic and reason and is rather shackle in which they confined/imprisoned their intellect resulting in inertial state placing them at par with matter/the dead. Their conduct of holding myths to their chests with reverence and love deliberately not subjecting those to rational analysis is equated with the conduct of a peculiar she-spider:

  • The equivalence of those people who have consciously and purposely adopted perceiving for themselves as protectors, benefactors, godfathers other than Allah the Exalted is:

  • Like the specific She-Spider when she has purposely adopted a house.

  • Know the fact, the flimsiest of the houses is certainly the adopted house of specific She-Spider.

  • Had they but known-realized flimsiness of their choice. [29:41]

After translating the words: to mean that spider builds/makes a house it is explained in the exegeses, written in Urdu and English, that the spider's web is the weakest of the houses. But the fact is that there is not a single word which could make us infer that the Qur'aan has referred to "Spider's web". Grand Qur'aan has not even said that spider makes or builds a house. It has said: "she consciously acquired/seized/ took/adopted a house".

Verb: Perfect; third person; singular; feminine; [Form-VIII] Subject pronoun hidden; مصدر-اِتِّخَاذٌ verbal noun. Its Root is "أ خ ذ" which signifies to take, receive, get, seize, capture, acquire, and adopt. This has been used in relation to Verb: Perfect; third person; plural; masculine; [Form-VIII]; و Subject pronoun, in nominative state; مصدر-اِتِّخَاذٌ verbal noun, from the same Root which has correctly been translated in the conventional translations as "take, choose, accept".

Web of the Spider is not a house,  it is a trap. A trap is built, constructed, structured, made. One could infer "Spider's web" if the words used were "بيَّت البيت""constructed a house". Male and female spider do not live together as a family therefore there can't be a question of family mansion. Male and Female construct/build traps individually and separately. Male and female belonging to even the same specie do not come closer when overpowered by the desire of mating. They first introduce and recognize each other before coming closer for love and sex.

It might be misleading for many to read in the exegeses, ascribing it to the Grand Qur'aan, that "Spider's Web is the weakest of the houses", while the Grand Qur'aan does not say like this. Now the majority of the people know that Spider's Web is not week and its thread is one of the finest things. Learned Harun Yahya has compiled the information with beautiful pictures about spiders in his Book "The Miracle in the Spider" but the mention of that Ayah of Qur'aan slipped attention where it finds mention. About Spider's Web this information is in the book: [Quote]

"Spider's thread is five times stronger than the steel of same thickness, and can stretch to four times its own length". To put it in technical terms, spider's thread, from the point of its resistance to breaking and the extent it can stretch before breaking, is a material the like of which does not exist" [Unquote]

Whichever encyclopedia we may open, we will find that Spider's web is a strong and fine thing with top of the line thread. In the presence of this information/data, if we accept the statement of earlier/modern writers we will attribute to Grand Qur'aan something, which is contrary to the fact. However, this is certainly not the statement of Qur'aan. Qur'aan's statement is that which its own words describe and not that what some people perceived because of their own understanding formed on incomplete or poor information.

The basic purpose of a book is to preserve knowledge for the posterity of humanity. Moreover, if the knowledge/ data/ fact/information preserved in a book is for the entire humanity then it becomes all the more important that this book should be easy for comprehension since the level of intellect of human beings varies. One method to make things easier for perception is to explain a thing with an example. An example {مَثَلُ} is something that is representative by virtue of having typical features of the thing it represents. It is an illustration that supports or provides more information on an opinion, theory, or principle. An example is one that is visible/perceivable by senses. In the Ayah Metaphor has not been used which is vividly different and distinct from the word example {مَثَلُ}. Metaphorical explanation is not easy to comprehend for men of lowly intellect but example {مَثَلُ} is conveniently understood by men of even ordinary prudence. The Qur'aan has been made easy:

  • Allah the Exalted certainly considers it not a matter of shyness-reluctance-embarrassment to strike example of a female mosquito; thereby highlighting that which exists besides herof that which enters a female mosquito where after it reaches to top of her.  [Refer 2:26]

Allah the Exalted has made it clear that for easy understanding and comprehension by the people the Qur'aan has been adorned with examples. In explaining a thing with an example the importance is not that of thing quoted being small or large or male or female. The importance is that the example given must represent the thing equal on fours/exactly identical. What is the advantage of giving examples?

  • And Allah the Exalted strikes examples-similitude for the people.
  • The purpose of striking examples is that they might conveniently perceive and retain in memory, remember, take lesson and recall to narrate the point explained. [14:25]

: يَتَذَكَّرُونَ  Its Root is "ذ  ك  ر". The basic concept infolded is "to remember, preserve in the memory, recollect it or call it to heart". Even in ordinary manner we can preserve things/data/information in the memory only after comparing it with some other thing. Things are stored into the memory only by comparison. Allah has informed:

  • And observe the fact that Our Majesty has created coupling-complementary pairing-binary composition with regard to every unit thing-element that exists.

  • The objective of couplings - binary composition of all the created units-elements is that you people might at your own conveniently comprehend, save in memory, recall and relate. [51:49]

Had things not been created in Pairs, were it possible to acquire knowledge? Knowledge is something that is capable of preservation in memory. Man would have been meaningless word had there been no woman; earth was meaningless without sky and so on. It is the Pair that makes us knowledgeable and intelligent. Let us express our thanks to Allah-the Exalted.  Beauty is in the pair. And when a thing/point is explained by an example it becomes not only easy for comprehension/perception but is also stored with a correct perspective/comparison in the memory and it is preserved distinctly for longer period of time.

Allah the Exalted has given the example of those people who have adopted/considered/perceived as: أَوْلِيَآءَ protectors, benefactors other than Allah with the habit/act of a peculiar female spider who has adopted a house and then informed about that house being the weakest one; and exclaimed that had they some information/knowledge about it. Let us find the house adopted:  

The females of many species place the egg sac on a stalk, wraps leaves about it, attach it to a stone, or cover it with smooth silk before abandoning it. Other females guard the egg sac or carry it either in their jaws or attached to the spinnerets. If a female loses an egg sac, she makes searching movements and may pick up a pebble or a piece of paper and attach it to the spinnerets. (With thanks from Encyclopedia Britannica-Spider}

A man who acquires, adopts and considers other deities and people as: أَوْلِيَآءَ is actually in pursuit of finding some support with the intention of getting some strength/position and protection of interests. He escapes the reality to find refuge in conjecture, fascination, imagination and adopts them who  soothes him with idea of their being a visible protector.  After having known the house adopted by a female spider let us again read the Ayah to appreciate and reflect on the precision of the example explaining the psyche of certain people.

  • The equivalence of those people who have consciously and purposely adopted perceiving for themselves as protectors, benefactors, godfathers other than Allah the Exalted is:

  • Like the specific She-Spider when she has purposely adopted a house.

  • Know the fact, the flimsiest of the houses is certainly the adopted house of specific She-Spider.

  • Had they but known-realized flimsiness of their choice. [29:41]

The female spider despite knowing that the piece of paper does not contain her eggs, she takes it to her "chest". And there has never been dearth of people who keep such papers/traditions/sayings void of any substance/knowledge and proof closely  to their chests and are seldom prepared to have a look on that "paper" to evaluate/weigh it if there existed anything of substance wrapped in it.

  • And when it was/is said to them; "You people heartily follow in practice that which Allah the Exalted has revealed: the Book";

  • They replied; "No, instead We will keep following that upon which we found our fathers had been".

  • Would they keep following their forefathers despite the fact if they were not rationally reflecting about a thing,

  • and nor were they consciously attempting to get guided-arrive at rational conclusion? [2:170]

  • Know it; when it was said to them: "You people come towards that which Allah the Exalted has since communicated and towards the Messenger: Muhammad [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]"

  • They said: "It suffices for us that upon which we found our fathers had been"".

  •  Would they keep following their forefathers despite the fact if they were not aware of information/knowledge about a thing; and nor were they consciously attempting to get guided-arrive at rational conclusion?  [5:104]

We have seen that certain people were asked to listen to the words of the Book and conduct accordingly but their immediate and plain response is that they were comfortable with what they had found their earlier generations/fathers saying/believing and doing. They don't seem interested in the words of book what to say of rebutting it with some argument. There attention is drawn towards two things without condemning their forefathers that would they keep following them with regard to something upon which their forefathers had not:  لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْئاً reflected/pondered and/or they did not have: لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئاً information/knowledge about something.

Knowledge is only of  ءَايَةً , corporeal, real thing having dimensions; and the words of Allah the Exalted sent in Qur'aan are also called  ءَايَةً since it is said by Him Who knows visible and invisible of everything. Therefore when something is said by All Knower, that is as visible as anything else to the perception of human beings. Anything beyond  ءَايَةً is nothing but conjecture, تخيل, imagination, false, farse. Compressing/ preserving/captivating data/information about things is called "عقل" and the process by which we keep comparing/sorting things and finding the difference and relationships is called "تعقل, يعقل" i.e. to reflect/ ponder/process the acquired data/information/knowledge to arrive at conclusions/guidance. After giving the example of habit of female spider it has been told:

  • And these are the examples which We strike for the benefit of the people.

  • But no one reflects-discerns them except those who have the relevant information-data-knowledge. [29:43]

It is a matter of common sense that a man can reflect/ponder/process/analyze only after he has acquired data/information about something. Allah the Exalted has quite unambiguously informed that knowledge about the universe and human body will progressively reveal to humanity since acquiring of knowledge needs constant and persistent pursuit of things to find mutual relationships. Therefore to keep stuck and following the traditions/saying of the past generations is a behavior/attitude of the sheep and cattle. About the attitude of aforesaid people it is categorically announced:

  • And the instance of those people who have deliberately refused to accept;

  • It is like he who shepherds a herd by that sounds which he listens nothing meaningful except calls and whoops.

  • They people are deaf, dumb, blind.

  • Thereby, they do not reflect-recognize-differentiate. [2:171]

The shackles coming from our earlier generations in the shape of traditions and sayings can be removed to revive ourselves to true wisdom and knowledge, if we decide to keep ourselves bound with the words of the Qur'aan since it is the statement of proven facts, and other things are not void of doubt, conjecture, hearsay and speculative thinking of many of our earlier forefathers.

[Replica/Mirror 69:43; Similar pronouncement in 41:02]

The gradual revelation [of Grand Qur'aan] is from the Sustainer Lord of the known/existing Worlds. [56:80]

Despite that is this the Statement [Hadith-Qur'aan] regarding which you people are the ones who, taking it non seriously and trivially, conjecture fascinating and alluring statements, [56:81]

[Similar confirmation in 69:51]

Certainly this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [56:95]

[Similar confirmation in 56:95]

And certainly this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [69:51]

Certainly, this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one, which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [56:95]

Moreover, certainly this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one, which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [69:51]
