Small Chapters of the Quran.... I am not happy...
-
I am not happy at all with many of the translations of small chapters and they don't give any sort of tangible meaning to me even though I tried to figure it out. The problem lay in translations and not in the verses.. So, I decided to disclose them one by one as I understood ... it will definitely take time, so be patient with me and you are welcome to negate them with much logic..
Chapter 111
1111 Perished hands of nourisher of extreme thirst (desire), and perished he
1112 Not benefited him his wealth and what he earned
1113 He will be destroyed in the prison of Hell possessing an extreme thirst
1114 And his wife/partner bearer of the belongings
1115 In a rope of fiber on her neck.Yes... that's my understanding ... and creating an imaginary person in the name of Abu Lahab is ridiculously unacceptable for me and it is not what the verse indeed states.. I know that is what we have been taught as dependent people on translations.. But the truth is something else.
1061 For bringing together (with affection) historic people
1062 Their caravan/journey of bringing together in the Winter and the Summer
1063 In order to serve Lord of the Charter / Monotheistic System of this
1064 Which fed/supported them against extreme Inclination and assured them
against concerns.This chapter is absolutely connected with Journey of Haj / Debate where they found their guidance through prophets heralding and debating on the System of Allah…

1041 Woe to every provoker of criticism
1042 Who gathered wealth and planned it
1043 Thinking his wealth would last forever (lifetime) for him
1044 Surely, he will be withdrawn into the debris
1045 And what made you know what the Debris is?
1046 Heated Wrath/Fury of Allah/The God
1047 Which penetrates to the Feelings
1048 Verily It will be wrapped over them
1049 Into continued prolongmentThat makes perfect sense to me...

Your interpretation of the Quran offers a unique perspective rather than sticking strictly to historical contexts, unless am wrong in the understanding.
Interestingly, there have been few scholars in the past who also sought to understand the Quran in a more metaphorical and universal way. One such scholar was GA Pervez who faced significant opposition for his unconventional views, as many traditionalists felt he was altering the original meanings of the verses. Despite this, his work aimed to highlight the timeless truths within the Quranic text, much like your interpretations do. I did share with you one of his works as "What is Islam" in another thread.
You can refer to his work here below
https//www.parwez.tv/Abid_Audio_Refrences/Mufhoom_1/by_G_A_parwez/Exposition%20of%20Quran.htm
Although I refer to G.A. Parwez's understanding from time to time, his translations of certain Quranic chapters that depict apocalyptic scenes are so unique that I have not found any other interpretations quite like his so far.
Therefore I am quite interested to know your own understanding/translations of chapter 84 and chapter 99 please.
Thank you

1081 Verily, We have bestowed you the Abundancy (Quran)
1082 For you to connect/turn toward your Lord and to master/be proficient
1053 That your evil disposition, it is the abolition/amputation@Fusion
once guidance reaches me only I can translate and it is not a mixing of words and saying whatever comes to mind, but Allah should guide me with each chapter and its precise meaning.. until then be patient if you can.. -

1131 Say! I seek recourse in Lord from the Calamity
1132 Against spark what it formed/fabricated
1133 And against spark of cover when it entered
1134 And against spark of spittle into the knots
1135 And against spark of resentment when it resented1141 Say! I seek recourse in Lord from/of the Commotion,
1142 of Possession of the Commotion
1143 of vehement agitation of the Commotion
1144 Against the confusedness that’s concealed
1145 Which confuses into the advancement of the Commotion
1146 Amongst the Jinn and the MenHere the first (1141) and last verses(1146) are key and the middle verses detail it..

1121 Say! He is the Deity of anyone
1122 The Deity of the one betakes
1123 Never He rears, and never is He reared
1124 And never would anyone be comparable to Him.My explanation based on Quran verses would be ; Allah claims. He is indeed the Deity of anyone and that matters in fact to those who betake in Him... And further clarifies He is not a kind of a deity who rears anyone nor He himself is reared and like almost all deities people invented have betaken with ascribed the attribution of rearing, thus He could never be comparable with any false deities most on earth has taken even if they claim deity to be one or many .. Attribution shouldn't go wrong... Some would say Deity is one but they ascribe partners to Him...

1071 Have you seen the one who belies from/of the Direction?
1072 So, for that is the one who drives away the orphan.
1073 And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
1074 So woe to the one who connects.
1075 who are heedless of their connection.
1076 The ones who show
1077 And withhold helpI would like to add this chapter as well

991 When the Earth is convulsed with its convulsion
992 And the Earth is evicted its burdens
993 And said the man, “What’s it for?”
994 A day, exposing its reality
995 Because that your Lord inspired to it
996 A day dispatching the man into separation to realize their actions/deeds
997 Thus, whoever performs good of weight of seed will realize it
998 And, whoever performs evil of weight of seed will realize itEarth is carrying loads of burdens on its surface, and on that day it will be sheer Earth void of anything on its surface and flattened/spread out thus it will expose its true nature void of burdens..
841 When the Sky is split
842 And permitted to its Lord and fulfilled/justified
843 And the Earth spread out / extended
844 And dislodged what was on it and emptied
845 And permitted to its Lord and fulfilled/justified
846 O the man! Verily you are toiling towards your Lord a toil so that you will receive it
847 So as for whom his register given in his right hand
848 So Immediately, it will be reckoned with a gentle reckoning
849 And he will return to his people exhilaratingly
8410 So as for whom his register given behind his back
8411 So immediately, he will invoke for doom (permanent destruction)
8412 And he will suffer in madness
8413 Indeed, he used to be exhilarating amongst his people
8414 Indeed, he assumed that he would never choke
8415 Yes! Indeed his Lord used to be a watcher on him
8416 But Nay! I will divide with the fright
8417 And the blindfold/darkness and what it enveloped
8418 And the perplexion when it is loaded
8419 That you will traverse layer on layer
8420 So what for them, they do not believe?
8421 And when the Quran is read to them, they do not acknowledge
8422 Nay! Those who disbelieved are belying
8423 And Allah/The Deity knowing what they perceive
8424 So, give them notice with an afflictive humiliation
8425 Except those who believed and did the righteousness, for them recompense never prohibited. -

The adamant elite of Jews, Christians, and Polytheists were desiring stoppage of further Divine communication and were simultaneously propagating negative fabricated conjectures in the hope they will succeed detracting people away from it
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِـىٓ ءَايَٟتِنَا لَا يَخْفَوْنَ عَلَيْنَآۗ
Realize it; those (scholars, clergy) who keep associating fabricated assertions with the contents of Our Aa'ya'at verbal passages of Divine Discourse, they are not hidden from Our Majesty.
أَفَمَن يُلْقَىٰ فِـى ٱلنَّارِ خَيْـرٌ أَم مَّن يَأْتِـىٓ ءَامِنٙا يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٟمَةِۚ
Is then the one who is made to confront the Hell-Prison better or the one who comes as calm and tranquil secured person on the Day of Rising?
ٱعْمَلُوا۟ مَا شِئْتُـمْۖ
O you people who associate fabricated assertions with the verbal passages of Qur’ān, do whatever you wish and decide to do —
إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيـرٌ .٤٠
Certainly He the Exalted ever keeps watching what acts you people perform.
The Form-IV Imperfect indicative, third person plural masculine verb (مصدر-إلْحَادٌ) stems from Root ل ح د that denotes one who deviates, or swerves, from the truth, and introduces into it that which does not belong to it. The object to which they introduce and associate fabricated false conjectural assertions is described by prepositional and possessive phrase فِـىٓ ءَايَٟتِنَا, in which the preposition signifies connectivity (للإلصاقِ) and its object is the verbal passages of the Book of Allah the Exalted, Qur’ān. It is clarified that whatever such pseudo-scholars and intelligentsia with tilted hearts would fabricate, it will never associate or have any correspondence with the Intellectual Property of Allah the Exalted, Grand Qur’ān
لَّايَأْتِيهِ ٱلْبَٟطِلُ مِنۢ بَيْـنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِۦۖ
The unique feature of the Book (Grand Qur’ān) is that neither whimsical, conjectural falsity fabricated in times before it will associate with its text and nor that fabricated after its revelation, as suggested by "ٱلْغَوْا۟ فِيهِ" (refer 4126) will ever associate in meanings with it —
تَنزِيلٚ مِّنْ حَكِيـمٍٛٛ حَـمِيدٛ .٤٢
This is because this Book is gradually communicated and delivered by the Infinitely Just Supreme Administrator of the created realms, visible and invisible, the Praiseworthy --.
The most dismal and saddening fact for me is that none of the exegeses, whether termed as mothers of exegeses, traditional, or modernist, to which I had access during twenty five years of studying Qur’ān as autodidactic student, I have found pure of such insertions of concocted, conjectural, capricious, whimsical and blatantly false content that has no remote relevance and association with the text of Grand Qur’ān. It was and is continuing practice ever since the serial release of Qur’ān, and that it is a well thought strategy.
يَدَآ أَبِـى لَـهَبٛ Bold is the Subject of verb. These are two possessive phrases. The subject of a verb is always a known and specified entity.

This is in reply to one's concern... What does "He is Deity of Anyone" mean... Well, it means Allah is Unique / Distinctive and that's what the word 'Ahad' means and not instead ONE.. never Ahad is not ONE.. I don't know why they make this basic error... Since He is Allah of anyone indeed He is unique...I hope I clarified in case you did not get it right..
May Allah guide us.. Thank you... Peace..

He It is a pronoun.
What is هُوَ referring? Is it about referent?

1091 O, you the deniers!
1092 Not I am believing what you are believing

1095 And not you are believers of what I believe
1096 For you, your direction and, for me a directionEveryone has belief/ibadath..

Some of the verses were linked to personal life of Mohammed, but i think were not correctly explained as per traditional narratives, Quran has verses that are either religious ones or they are more of motivating the people to support the leader or prophet which are poltical, not many verses were personal, except when needed a law or transition from older beliefs.
About the surah on AbuLahab, The character involved may be referring to some old biblical character, theres an article i read, linking with Abu’l-Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Or it could refer to some character like Lucifer.
