    Dear all, translating a language that is totally lost as spoken language, is no easy task, plus add to that mistranslation that has been heaped upon generations after generations. I find concepts presented in this Sura as far more deeper, useful and practical than traditional. Please compare it to traditional Mambo Jumbo. I know for some this may still sound as gibberish or just a word salad. If that is the case for some, so be it.

    Regards,

    Badar

    731
    O you pay attention, one who is fallen behind due exaggerated sense of self pride.
    732
    Stand up against the darkness until only a little is left.
    733
    Reduce it, until it is further greatly reduced out of that little left.
    734
    Lest you let it increase and organize as the organized collection.
    735
    For sure, we anticipate, facing this would be an unpalatable expression of thought for you.
    736
    Truly, the stance against the darkness is very difficult to tread and be able to stand firm in it, is exceptional.
    737
    Indeed, for you is a long swim in the enlightenment.
    738
    And acquaint with sign conveying knowledge about your foundation (Rabb) and devote to it with utmost devotion.
    739
    The foundation (Rabb) of all is not at all, a deity for worship, except one is where from you drive and deduce all knowledge.
    7310
    And constrain from what they say and avoid them in best possible manner.
    7311
    Instead, you leave me for the habitual liars, the possessor of favor; although their ease is numbered.
    7312
    For sure, to us lead all restraints and tolerance.
    7313
    This empowers over choking rage and grief, a punishment of utmost degree.
    7314
    Anytime you experience state of commotion about the natural disposition from nature. It is due to the nature of creation is being just like a collection of sand falling apart.
    7315
    Certainly, we sent towards you an evidence based message, just like we sent it towards corrupt.
    7316
    However, corrupt rebelled against the message. Therefore, we took it in our control to prevent disastrous consequences.
    7317
    Then how will you guard yourselves in time when your progeny will turn grey haired? If you hide the benevolent message now?
    7318
    The ideal substantive was originally created as an object with its lasting promise.
    7319
    For sure this memorandum is for whoever desires an easy path toward his foundation (Rabb).
    7320
    For sure, your foundation (Rabb) has knowledge that you stopped journeying after reducing close to two third of the darkness and reducing half of it and further a third of it, also a group of people with you, and one who doesn?t engage in worship, determine the darkness from the enlightenment of knowledge. If you don?t deny it, then return to it. So you gather together, what is easy from the collected collection. Its knowledge shall be satisfying and pleasing. For those laggards, there are examples in natural creation. True seekers shall seek from excellence of one who doesn?t engage in worship. And the laggards should try to get to know thoroughly well about path of one who doesn?t engage in worship. Therefore, gather together what is easy in it. Then establish it for the close following so that you may achieve the nurturing. Give to one who doesn?t engage in worship, good deeds, to be requited. And whatever, examples you set up should be good. You shall find these with one who doesn?t engage in worship. It is a good and greater reward for protection seekers with one who doesn?t engage in worship. Truly, one who doesn?t engage in worship is like an eternal covering of lasting concern for the suffering of other.

      I do not seek to be insulting, but...

      How do you translate this

      into

      "O you pay attention, one who is fallen behind due exaggerated sense of self pride."

      You lack the words to even convey what you suggest. Even if one letter was one word in Arabic you still have too many words in your translation, and that does not take grammatical words into consideration.

      I have sought to have you make a full elaboration on how you arrive at your conclusions, but you never do this. If you can extract that kind of text out of only a handful of letters you must surely know some great secret, or you are out on really thin ice.

      Be well
      Amenuel
