Min oversettelse av kapittel 95 i Koranen

Kapittelet forteller at sjelens utvikling er avgjørende, både for individer og for nasjoner. Nasjoner kan utvikle høyere nivåer av humanisme dersom individene i nasjonen tror på Gud, og på at de har en sjel som kan vokse.

Kapittel 95

With Him who can be known through signs; He who rules the entire universe; He who provides during times of need, and He who continuously sustains all things.

95:1-3

Tradisjonell (S. I.): By the fig and the olive. And [by] Mount Sinai. And [by] this secure city [i.e., Makkah].

Min oversettelse: Witnesses are the fig and the olive. And Mount Sinai. And this land of security and solace.

Kommentar: Hendelsene da Noah (ved fjellet Teen-Fig), Jesus (fjellet Zaitoon-Olive), Moses (fjellet Sinai) og Muhammad (Mekka) begynte å spre budskapet, er vitner.

95:4

Tradisjonell: We have certainly created man in the best of stature;

Min oversettelse: Indeed, We designed human beings with the potential to grow a beautiful balance in themselves (and thus also in the world).

Kommentar: I min mening handler dette verset om at mennesket består av 2 substanser - kropp og sjel. Kroppen kan mestres ved at mennesket jobber med å skape balanse i seg selv.

Root: KH-L-Q خ ل ق: estimate, proportionate, balanced, model after something, make one thing out of another.

95:5

Tradisjonell: Then We return him to the lowest of the low,

Min oversettelse: Then We return human beings to a beginning (physical) state which gives them no real profit in itself.

Kommentar: Versene her indikerer at mennesker kan bli verre enn dyr hvis de ikke jobber med å utvikle sjelen sin ("lowest of the low" = til og med lavere enn dyrisk tilstand (fordi dyr følger naturlig orden). Mennesket kjemper mot egen natur - mot naturlig orden - hvis sjelens utvikling ikke er i fokus. Neste vers gir en indikasjon på hvordan faktisk utvikle sjelen (gjennom dyder). Se også kap 103.

Root: RA-D-D ر د د: return something to someone.

Root: S-F-L س ف ل: lowliness, very low, mean people, no profit.


95:6

Tradisjonell: Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward uninterrupted.

Min oversettelse: Except those who believe and work intentionally toward helping others and creating harmony in themselves (and thus in society). For these there is a continuous healing, growth and learning.

Root: A-M-N أ م ن: not beaking someone's trust, solace, peace, safety, fearless, to trust and be secure.

95:7

Tradisjonell: So what yet causes you to deny the Recompense?

Min oversettelse: Then what makes you ignore following The System that can give you the truly good things in life?

95:8

Tradisjonell: Is not Allah the most just of judges?

Min oversettelse: Is God not the Wisest of the wise ones? (God is the only one who can truly take all things into consideration - seen and unseen - and thus is the best to decide in human affairs).

Root: H-L-HE لأ ل ه: (God): ruler of everything that exists; one with power, one who gives protection during danger.
