So that He knows that they have delivered the messages of their Lord, and He surrounds all that is with them, and He has counted the number of all things.(so as) to make manifest that they have delivered the messages of their Lord, and He surrounds all that is with them, and He has counted the number of all things.

I suggest in verse 416 to translate "wa alladhani ya`tiyaniha" from "And the two men who commit it" to "And those two who commit it" because the gender of the two is not specified, and constrains the reader in interpreting this and the previous verses in a certain way.
-
No it does not, IsaMuslim is right. It can also mean man and woman, not necessarily 2 men.
I agree wa-alladhni (ن is in masculine dual relative pronoun which means both gender.
-
I found an interesting note supporting "two men" in the website of Joseph Islam
In verse 416, the Arabic word used is 'alladhani' which is a masculine dual pronoun. Albeit, this can refer to a mixed gender group (a male and a female), it most likely refers to two men in this context. This is supported by the context of the previous verse which refers to and addresses women (415). Furthermore, some assert the duality of verse 416 as a reference to 'two guilty parties' of 415. This is also implausible given the plural context of the guilty women in verse 415, the structure of the argument of the verse and the punishment instructed. Verse 416 is also very unlikely to be a reference to illicit heterosexual relationships as this matter is firmly dealt with in verse 242. Therefore, verse 416 with the use of the dual masculine pronoun is most likely a reference to two men which is primarily supported by context.
http//quransmessage.com/articles/homosexuality
But I don't know if his reasoning on the context excluding it is correct; I have read other interpretations on context, such as Edip Yuksel's, that fit perfectly if considering "alladhani" the two guilty parties of 415.

Salam this is what Edip Yuksel said about 415 & 16
415
The relative pronoun in this verse is allati, which refers to a group of women. It indicates an organized prostitution, which might pose a grave health problem for the society. In a society that accepted the jurisdiction of the Quran, if a woman is proven four times to be involved in promiscuous sexual activity, she is considered a hazard to the society and should be quarantined. Perhaps there is also an implication for our time, where genetic identification helps us to find the real father of a child. Our genes are made of various combinations of four acid molecules Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thiamine. These four molecules, which are made of four different elements, function as witnesses for the identity of individuals to which they belong. The Quran does not necessarily require the witness to be an eyewitness. For instance, we bear witness to the oneness of God via our intelligence. The witness mentioned in 1226 is not considered a witness because he was present during the alleged incident. That witness did not say, "I saw with my eyes." The human witness mentioned in that story is proposing the testimony of circumstantial evidence, and logical conclusions based on both inductive and deductive reasoning. In other words, the Quran accepts the testimony of reliable circumstantial evidence just as it accepts the testimony of a reliable eyewitness.
416
The relative pronoun is not marked; the male dual form allazani (both) includes the female partner. In this case, it appears that the illegal or extramarital sexual affair is monogamous. For the punishment of the adulterers, see 241.

425And whoever of you cannot afford to marry the emancipated
female believers, then from those committed to by your oath
of the believing young women. And God is more aware of your
faith, some of you to each other. You shall marry them with
the permission of their parents, and give them their dowries in
kindness. To be emancipated (mu'antin)?not for illicit sex or taking lovers.
Once they are emancipated(u'inna), then any of them who comes with
an immorality shall have half of what is upon those already
emancipated of the punishment. This is for those who fear a
hardship from among you, but if you are patient it is better for
you. And God is Forgiver, Merciful.I think you cant use emancipate here, as the root means to protect or to guard.

Thanks for the notes.
I believe he is right on the "prostitution", because otherwise, in my opinion, it would be difficult to explain "until God makes a way out for them" (a way to escape from the house? a way to get out of the situation sounds better), but I don't agree with the "quarantine" thing; to me it looks just like a command to a man to keep his wife or daughter at home, to avoid them continuing committing that lewdness.425And whoever of you cannot afford to marry the emancipated

I agree that sometimes Edip Yuksel completely changed certain words; that is why I never rely on a single translation and I use websites such as islamawakened.com -
Bismillahi I think it would be more accurate and appropriate to translate it to With God's name
http//haqeeqat.pk/02.%20Grammatical%20units/1.gif
These three words, a preposition, a common noun and a Proper Noun constitute the first grammatical unit . It comprises of a Prepositional Phrase + Possessive Phrase.
The first word comprising of a consonant and a vowel is Inseparable Preposition, meaning that it occurs prefixed with its object noun; in Arabic it is called . Prepositions render their object noun in genitive case. The preposition and its object noun constitute what is called a prepositional phrase, in Arabic grammar .
The prepositions used in the Divine Discourse help visually recognize the nouns, effortlessly. The preposition designates contiguity in its broadest sense. It has a wide range of uses including spatiotemporal, instrumental and manner adverbial. It is used for the following purposes
-
For connectivity;
-
For assistance; instrument
-
For making a verb transitive;
-
For an adverbial meaning;
-
For accompaniment.
-
For requital; and
-
Extraneous; according to a rule for the negated predicate; also in interrogation.
The preposition is evidently for seeking assistance; This phrase in isolation literally means "recourse-beginning-activation-concomitance is with/by a name-code". Initiating a controlled process requires information. And the most fundamental fact about information is that it is itself preceded by the Prime Source Who is but the Living and holding Will. The Divine Discourse concatenates facts in perfect sequence and chronological order. Its first word vividly indicates at the outset about superb concatenation-consistence-contiguity and colligation in the contents of the Book in hand. This is the First scientific fact of the physical world. The creation and for created ones the initiation of the process of learning-knowledge is but the "code/name". The human memory and that of computer can save nothing without knowing or assigning a code/name to a thing-object-phenomenon.

Salaam, I think this is a typo
Alteration instead of alternation.
Good detection.
Alteration refers to change in one thing. Alternation is the reciprocal succession of (normally two) things in time or place; the act of following and being followed by turns; alternate succession, performance, or occurrence; as, the alternation of day and night, cold and heat, summer and winter, hope and fear.
Verbal noun is also of Form-VIII. Its Root also has the primary signification
That it signifies the coming or happening of a thing after another thing rising and holding the position and status that was once held by the other one - alternation; secondly it is contra. of past referring future; and thirdly it signifies change.
Root http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/(410).htm
And He the Exalted causes emergence of life in matter and causes death to alive.
And the alternation of the Night and the Day is for Him the Exalted to manage.
Is it for reason that you do not ponder?use intellect to differentiate?

Thanks for completing
I noticed it randomly.I want also to share a thought on nafs.
I think that, since its primary meaning is "soul", before translating it to "person" we should then consider if another meaning is possible in that context.
For exampleThey did not teach anyone until they would say "We are a test, so do not lose faith!" Thus they teach what can separate between a person and his mate; but they cannot harm anyone except with the permission of God.
2102
What if God meant another thing here?
This piece of the verse is usually understood to mean that they learnt how to separate a man and his wife, but what if what they learnt was to divide any living being from its mate?O people, be aware of your Lord who has created you from one person and He created from it its mate and sent forth from it many men and many women; and be aware of God whom you ask about, and the relatives. God is Watcher over you.
41
And He is the One who initiated you from one person; with a place for stability and development. We have explained the signs to a people who understand.
698
These verses are understood by sectarians to mean that Eve came from the rib of Adam... This translation does the same as most of the traditional translations.
But the verses could also mean that we were initiated from one living being, like a living cell, and from it God made its mate (by dividing the cell).Correct me if I am wrong in anything, since I don't speak arabic.

Salam brother,
Sorry for replying only today.I see that the meaning of "Soul", which also carries the meaning of "life" is in the lexicon.
Also we have the followingQur'an 3185
Every soul will taste death
It is not only every person that will die, but every living being (animals, plants, ...).

It is not only every person that will die, but every living being (animals, plants, ...).
Yes and they will return to Allah/God (SWTAY)
