<p dir="auto">I think of the gift for safety.</p>
<p dir="auto">?Waw? is usually used as conjunct. It is also consider as a letter for swearing and in fact in modern Arabic still it is used for this purpose. However, Wright points out more uses and meanings as ?I think of?, ?I remember? ?O that!? (Wright VOL. 2 page 217 rem at the bottom of the page).</p>
<p dir="auto">A definite noun from root, usually translated as ?time?. Although, this meaning is also present in lexicon. However, if one were to pay close attention to root meanings there is no meaning that even comes close to meaning of time. Literal meaning is ?he squeezed it? or ?extracted the juice?. This root tropically also means ?a gift? as well means ?protection?. These two meanings are chosen due to context of other Suras so far.</p>
<p dir="auto">Surah 103 2</p>
<p dir="auto">Indeed, it needs to be preserved from being lost or circumvented.</p>
<p dir="auto">An accusative particle meaning, ?indeed, certainly surely?.</p>
<p dir="auto">It is usually considered a definite noun from root meaning ?man? or even mankind. Since having a definite article at the beginning would limit the scope or define its meaning to only certain man. Which would not fit the purpose and meaning traditionally considered as correct, a grammatical rule was created. The rule is that, this ?al? is a defining ?al?, for whole of the genus. Hence here it would mean ?the whole mankind?, instead of just ?the man?. This appears an attempt to make grammar rule to rationalize already established meaning and not to get to real meanings by following the rules of grammar.</p>
<p dir="auto">(Unfortunately, this whole mind frame of current Muslims is a major problem and hurdle in understanding Quran. They accept and staunchly believe that current translation of Quran is the real Quran. This even applies to followers of Quran only. They are willing to accept another person?s translation as authority without considering that the person in question no mater how well intended. He was not able to finish the task of translation of whole of the quran).</p>
<p dir="auto">Despite all this jargon about explaining the ?al? at the beginning, there is no form/measure to explain this construct as a noun in the language. However, if it were to be considered a verb of form VII from root and middle ?waw? changing into ?elif? due ?ajwaf? rule of weak verb. Also the first letter is substituted with . Its actually shape should be without substitution of first letter. With such substitution allowed in the language it became . The ?al? here is contraction of ?Allathi? just like in ?Allah?. The root meaning is ?he preserved it, or kept it?. The form/measure adds meanings of ?need to be?</p>
<p dir="auto">The ?Lam? is further emphasis. It is difficult to translate in English with so much emphasis. It is followed by a particle with several meanings. Here due context ?from? is chosen.</p>
<p dir="auto">A undefined noun from root meaning ?he lost or lost and suffered diminution or he circumvented?.</p>
<p dir="auto">Surah 103 3</p>
<p dir="auto">If those do not safeguard it by laboring in the incorrupt manner, then you direct and urgently admonish them with what is suitable, according to wisdom, justice and facts; as well you direct and urgently admonish them with the endurance and self restrain.</p>
<p dir="auto">Traditionally it is considered as an exceptive particle meaning ?except?. But it can also be combination of meaning ?if not?. This meaning is used here due to context over meaning of except.</p>
<p dir="auto">A plural relative noun meaning ?those?</p>
<p dir="auto">A 3rd person plural perfect verb of form IV from root meaning ?he became safe or secure?</p>
<p dir="auto">?waw? conjunct translated as ?by? followed by a 3rd person perfect verb from root meaning ?he worked, acted or labored?</p>
<p dir="auto">A definite active plural participle from root meaning ?it and he became good, incorrupt or just?<br />
?waw? conjunct translated as ?then? followed by a 3rd person perfect verb with prefixed 2nd person pronoun meaning ?you?. Its root is meaning ?he enjoined?.</p>
<p dir="auto">?Bee? a particle meaning ?with? followed by a definite/defined noun from root meaning ?it was or became suitable to requirements of wisdom, justice, truth and facts?.</p>
<p dir="auto">It is explained above.</p>
<p dir="auto">"Bee? a particle explained above followed by a defined/definite noun from root</p>
<p dir="auto">meaning ?he became enduring and withheld his tongue and soul from inpatients?.</p>
