"Il prononce la vérité" and "Il est le meilleur des arbitres" both have the subject pronoun "Il" in front of the verb.

The subject pronoun is not always mandatory in French, but it is good practice to use it for clarity.

English Translation:

Say, "I am on a clear proof from my Lord, and you have denied it. I have not what you hasten for. The judgement belongs only to Allah. He pronounces the truth, and He is the best of arbiters."

Grammar Notes:

- Subjunctive Mood: The subjunctive mood is used in French to express a wish, desire, or opinion. It is often used after verbs like "vouloir" (to want), "souhaiter" (to wish), and "aimer" (to like).

- "Vous" and "vous repentiez": The use of "vous" (you) in this sentence is in the formal or polite form. The verb "repentir" (to repent) is conjugated in the subjunctive mood because it follows the verb "vouloir" (to want).

- "Ceux qui" and "suivent": This phrase translates to "those who follow". "Ceux" (those) agrees in gender and number with the noun "passions" (passions) that it refers to. The verb "suivent" (follow) is conjugated in the present tense to indicate an ongoing action.

Grammar Notes:

- Subjunctive mood: The verb "savait" (knew) is in the subjunctive mood in French, as it expresses a hypothetical situation.

- Conditional tense: The verbs "ferait" (would make) and "faisait" (made) are in the conditional tense, which is used to express hypothetical actions or events.

- Reflexive verbs: The verbs "détourneraient" (would turn away) and "retournant" (turning back) are reflexive verbs, meaning that the action affects the subject itself.

- Participle present: The phrase "en se retournant" (by turning back) uses the present participle of the verb "retourner" (to turn back).

Pronunciation Assistance:

- "s'Il" should be pronounced as "see-eel" and not "sil".

- "se détourneraient" should be pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable: "suh day-toor-ner-ay".

- "en se retournant" should be pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable: "on suh ruh-toor-nan".

English Breakdown and Explanation:

This is a famous verse from the Quran, illustrating the story of a man who initially believed the moon to be his God. We can understand the French translation better by going word by word:

- Lorsque (when) lɔʁskə: This word begins the first clause in the French sentence and acts like the word “when” in English.

- il (he) il: This is the subject pronoun, meaning “he,” and it refers to the man in the story.

- a vu (saw) a vɥ: This is the past tense of the verb “voir” which means “to see”. “a vu” is in the third person singular masculine form.

- la lune (the moon) la lyn: This is the noun meaning “the moon.”

- se lever (rise) sə ləve: This is a reflexive verb meaning “to rise.” The reflexive “se” makes the verb indicate the action that the moon performs on itself.

- il a dit (he said) il a di: This is the past tense of the verb “dire” meaning “to say.” This is also in the third person singular masculine form.

- "C'est (It is) se: This is the beginning of a sentence, and it starts with the pronoun “it” to refer to the moon. It is followed by “est” which is the present tense of the verb “être” meaning “to be.” In this sentence, it is being used to state that the moon is something, in this case, it is being said to be God.

- mon Seigneur." (my Lord) mɔ̃ sɛɲœʁ: This is the object of the sentence and refers to the man’s belief that the moon is God. Notice that in French, the word for “Lord” is capitalized and spelled with a capital “S.”

- Puis (Then) pɥi: This is the conjunction meaning “then” that introduces the next clause in the sentence.

- quand (when) kɑ̃: This is the word meaning “when” and is similar to the word "lorsque" that begins the first clause.

- elle (it) ɛl: This is the feminine pronoun “it” and refers to the moon.

- s'est couchée (set) se kuse: This is another reflexive verb, meaning “to set.” The reflexive pronoun “se” tells us that the moon sets on its own, without any outside force.

- il a dit (he said) il a di: Another past tense verb meaning “he said.”

- "Si (If) si: This is the conjunction meaning “if” that introduces the next clause.

- mon Seigneur (my Lord) mɔ̃ sɛɲœʁ: This refers to the man’s belief that the moon was God. Notice that, like before, the word “Lord” is spelled with a capital “S.”

- ne me guide pas (does not guide me) nə mə gid pa: This is a negative form of the verb “guider” which means “to guide.” The negative pronoun “ne” (not) comes before the verb and the negative pronoun “pas” comes after. The verb is conjugated in the third person singular form, since it is referring to the moon. Also note that “me” in the sentence is a pronoun in the indirect object position.

- je serai (I will be) ʒə səʁɛ: This is the future tense of the verb “être,” meaning “to be.”

- certainement (certainly) sɛʁtɛnmɑ̃: This is the adverb meaning “certainly,” and it emphasizes that the man’s belief that if the moon is not God, he will be lost.

- parmi (among) paʁmi: This is the preposition meaning “among.”

- les gens (the people) le ʒɑ̃: This is the noun “people.” It is plural and masculine.

- égarrés." (lost) eɡaʁe: This is the adjective meaning “lost.” The noun “people” is plural, so the adjective is also plural. The noun “people” is masculine, so the adjective is also masculine.

Notes:

The French translation of this Quranic verse is very similar to the English one in its meaning and structure. It is written in the present tense, so the translation is easy to understand. The word order in French is a little different from English, but it is not too difficult to grasp.

Pronunciation:

The French pronunciation can be a bit tricky, but with a little practice, you can master it. It is important to note that some of the words are pronounced differently than they are spelled. For example, the word “quand” is pronounced like “kɑ̃” and not “kɑ̃d.”

Grammar:

The grammar of the sentence is relatively simple. There are no complex verb conjugations, and the sentence structure is quite straightforward. However, it is important to note that in French, the nouns are not usually pluralized, and there is no need for an article before a noun in French.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Those to whom We have given the Book recite it according to its recitation. Those believe in it. And whoever denies it, those are the losers.

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence starts with "En vérité" which is a common way to start a phrase in French and translates to "Indeed" or "Truly" in English.

- This sentence uses the future tense "seront frappés" - "will be struck"

- It uses the definite article "le" - "the" throughout the sentence in French.

La vie d'ici-bas a été embellie pour ceux qui ont mécru, et ils se moquent de ceux qui ont cru. Ceux qui ont craint Allah sont au-dessus d'eux le jour de la Résurrection. Et Allah donne à qui Il veut sans compter.

Word for Word Explanation and Pronunciation:

- La vie d'ici-bas (pronounced: lah vee dee-see-bah) - The life of this world, here on earth.

- a été embellie (pronounced: ah eh-tay am-beh-lee) - Has been beautified, made to seem attractive. "Embellie" is the past participle of "embellir" (to beautify).

- pour ceux qui ont mécru (pronounced: poor soh kee ohn may-kroo) - For those who have disbelieved. "Mécru" is the past participle of "mécroire" (to disbelieve), which is the opposite of "croire" (to believe).

- et ils se moquent (pronounced: eh eel soh mok) - And they mock. "Se moquer" (to mock) is a reflexive verb, meaning it uses a reflexive pronoun ("se") to indicate that the subject of the verb is also the object.

- de ceux qui ont cru (pronounced: duh soh kee ohn kroo) - Of those who have believed. "Cru" is the past participle of "croire" (to believe).

- Ceux qui ont craint Allah (pronounced: soh kee ohn kren a-lah) - Those who have feared Allah. "Craint" is the past participle of "craindre" (to fear).

- sont au-dessus d'eux (pronounced: sohn oh-duh-soo deh) - Are above them. "Au-dessus" means "above" and "d'eux" is the preposition "de" followed by the pronoun "eux" meaning "them".

- le jour de la Résurrection (pronounced: lu zhoor duh lah reh-soor-rek-syon) - The day of the resurrection. "Résurrection" means "resurrection" and "le jour de" means "the day of".

- Et Allah donne à qui Il veut (pronounced: eh a-lah don ah kee eel vuh) - And Allah gives to whomever He wants. "Donne" is the present tense of the verb "donner" (to give).

- sans compter (pronounced: son kom-tay) - Without counting. "Sans" means "without" and "compter" means "to count".

Grammar Note: In French, the word order in a sentence can be flexible. For example, the sentence "Ceux qui ont craint Allah sont au-dessus d'eux le jour de la Résurrection" could also be written as "Le jour de la Résurrection, ceux qui ont craint Allah sont au-dessus d'eux".

French Translation:

Grammar Rules:

"S'il ne le secourez pas" - This uses the conditional tense in French. The structure is "Si + subject + ne + verb + pas." The conditional tense is used to express hypothetical situations or possibilities.

"Il dit alors à son compagnon" - This uses the passé simple (simple past) tense, which is often used for narrative or historical events. It is formed by adding a specific ending to the verb stem depending on the subject pronoun.

"Alors Dieu fit descendre Sa tranquillité sur lui" - The verb "faire" (to make, to do) is often used in French to express actions or causes. It is followed by an infinitive. This example uses "faire descendre" (to make descend), which indicates that God caused His tranquility to descend upon the Prophet Muhammad.

"Et Il fit que la parole des incroyants soit la plus basse" - This uses the subjunctive mood, which expresses a wish, a suggestion, or an uncertainty. In this case, it emphasizes the fact that God made the word of the unbelievers low, not because they were intrinsically weak, but because He made it so.

"Dieu est Puissant et Sage" - This uses the present tense, indicating a permanent state or a truth. The word "et" (and) connects two adjectives describing God.

"La parole des incroyants soit la plus basse" - This sentence uses the superlative adjective "la plus basse" (the most low) to emphasize the contrast between the word of the unbelievers and the word of God.

- mondes (mond) - worlds

- ?" (pwen-d'in-ter-ro-ga-syon) - "?"

Pronunciation:

- Lot (loh) is pronounced with a short "o" sound, like the "o" in "lot."

- peuple (pœpl) has a nasal "e" sound at the end, similar to the "e" in "pen."

- commettre (ko-met-r) has a silent "e" at the end, so it is pronounced like "ko-met-r."

- abominable (a-bo-mi-nabl) has a silent "e" at the end.

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the phrase "Allez-vous commettre." This is because the speaker is expressing doubt or uncertainty about the action.

- The word order is slightly different in French. Instead of saying "Lot said to his people," we say "Lot, when he said to his people." This is a common way to introduce a character in French.

- The phrase "personne avant vous" means "no one before you," and it is used to emphasize the uniqueness of the act.

- Et (eh) - and

- le peuple de Moïse (lu pœpl də mwiz) - the people of Moses

- Direct Object Pronouns: The pronoun "l'" (it) refers to the "veau" (calf). It replaces the noun to avoid repetition.

- Agreement: The adjectives "injustes" and "parures" agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.

French Translation:

Et Nous avons dit : "Ô Adam, habite, toi et ton épouse, le Paradis, et mangez-en à votre guise, où que vous le désiriez, et ne vous approchez pas de cet arbre, sinon vous seriez parmi les injustes."

Word by Word Explanation:

- Et Nous avons dit : "And We said" - This is a direct translation of the Arabic phrase, emphasizing the divine nature of the message.

- "Ô Adam, habite, toi et ton épouse, le Paradis," - "Oh Adam, dwell, you and your spouse, the Paradise" - This is an imperative sentence that commands Adam and Eve to live in Paradise. "Habite" is pronounced "ah-bee-tay".

- "et mangez-en à votre guise" - "and eat from it at your pleasure" - "Mangez-en" is a contraction of "mangez-y en", where "y" refers to "le paradis" (Paradise) and "en" refers to the fruits of Paradise. "Guise" is pronounced "gwee-z".

- "où que vous le désiriez" - "wherever you wish" - This phrase clarifies the extent of Adam and Eve's freedom within Paradise. "Désiriez" is pronounced "day-zee-ray".

- "et ne vous approchez pas de cet arbre" - "and do not approach this tree" - This is another imperative sentence that sets the only limit within Paradise. "Approchez" is pronounced "ah-proh-shay".

- "sinon vous seriez parmi les injustes" - "otherwise you would be among the unjust" - This is a conditional clause that emphasizes the consequences of disobeying God's command. "Seriez" is pronounced "se-ray".

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence structure in French is similar to the Arabic.

- The imperative form is used in "Habite" and "Approchez" for commands.

- The conditional form "seriez" is used to express a hypothetical consequence.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the silent letters in French, such as "e" at the end of words.

- "Ô" is pronounced like "oh" in English.

- "C" before "i" or "e" is pronounced as a soft "s" sound.

- Practice the vowel sounds in French to achieve a better accent.

French Translation:

Et ceux dont les balances seront légères, ceux-là sont ceux qui ont perdu leurs âmes, parce qu'ils ont été injustes envers Nos signes.

Word-by-word Explanation:

- Et (ay) - And

- ceux (suh) - those

- dont (dɔ̃) - whose

- les (lay) - the

- balances (baˈlɑ̃s) - scales (weighing scales)

- seront (sə.rɔ̃) - will be

- légères (le.ʒɛʁ) - light (in weight)

- ont été (ɔ̃ te) - have been

- injustes (ɛ̃.ʒyst) - unjust

- envers (ɑ̃.vɛʁ) - towards

- Nos (no) - Our

- signes (siɲ) - signs

Grammar Note:

The sentence is a complex sentence with two clauses: "Et ceux dont les balances seront légères" (and those whose scales will be light) and "ceux-là sont ceux qui ont perdu leurs âmes, parce qu'ils ont été injustes envers Nos signes" (those are those who have lost their souls, because they have been unjust towards Our signs). The first clause acts as the subject of the second clause.

Pronunciation Tip:

- In French, the "s" at the end of a word is usually silent. However, when the next word begins with a vowel sound, the "s" is pronounced as a "z."

For example, "ceux-là" (those) is pronounced with a "z" sound because the next word "sont" begins with a vowel sound.

French Translation:

Éternellement (ay-ter-nel-mahn) demeurant (duh-muh-rahn) en elle, (ahn el) car (kar) Allah (a-lah) a (ah) près (pre) de Lui (luh-ee) une (oon) grande (grahn-duh) récompense. (ray-kom-pahn-suh)

- Prepositional Phrases: French often uses prepositions followed by a noun or pronoun, for example, "près de Lui".

- Indefinite Article: "Une" is used before feminine nouns that begin with a consonant sound.

French Translation:

Est-ce que les habitants des villes se sentent en sécurité, alors que Notre châtiment les atteint en plein jour, alors qu’ils jouent ? (es-kuh lay ah-bee-ton deh lay veel se sont on se-cu-ri-tay, a-lor kuh no-truh sha-tee-mon lay a-ten en plen zhoor, a-lor keel zhoo)**

Word-for-word Explanation:

Grammar Notes:

- French Sentence Structure: The French sentence structure often follows the pattern of Subject - Verb - Object.

- Subordinate Clauses: The phrase "alors qu’ils jouent" is a subordinate clause, which depends on the main clause. The conjunction "alors que" introduces the subordinate clause.

- Third Person Plural: The verbs "atteint" and "jouent" are both conjugated in the third person plural, since they refer to the plural noun "les habitants."

Pronunciation Tips:

- des corrupteurs: of the corruptors (day kor-rup-tur)

- French uses prepositions to connect words and phrases. For example, "dans" (in), "de" (of), "parmi" (among).

- French uses relative clauses to provide more information about a noun. For example, "qui confirmera la parole d'Allah" (who will confirm the word of God).

Grammar Notes:

- "Alors, lorsque vous aurez achevé la prière" - This is a complex sentence with two clauses joined by a comma. "Alors" is an adverb meaning "then" that connects the two clauses. "Lorsque" is a conjunction that introduces the first clause, meaning "when." The verb in the first clause is "aurez achevé" (future perfect tense) - "you will have finished." The second clause begins with the verb "rappelez-vous" - "remember" which is in the imperative mood (a command)

- "Puis, lorsque vous êtes tranquilles" - This is a similar construction to the first clause with "Puis" meaning "then" and "Lorsque" meaning "when."

- "en vous tenant debout, assis et sur vos côtés" - This is a phrase that modifies the verb "rappelez-vous" and describes how to remember Allah. "Debout" is an adjective meaning "standing," "assis" is an adjective meaning "sitting" and "sur vos côtés" is a prepositional phrase meaning "on your sides."

- "La prière est une obligation prescrite aux croyants à des moments déterminés" - This is a complex sentence with the verb "est" (to be) in the present tense, meaning the prayer is always an obligation. "Prescrite" is an adjective modifying "obligation" meaning "prescribed." "Aux croyants" is a prepositional phrase meaning "to the believers." The final phrase "à des moments déterminés" means "at determined times" and also modifies "obligation."

Pronunciation Notes

- "vous" - This is pronounced like the English "voo"

- "avoir" - This is pronounced like the English "ah-vwar"

- "la prière" - The "e" at the end of "prière" is pronounced very lightly, almost like a whisper.

This text is a good example of how French can be quite verbose compared to English. You can see the frequent use of prepositions and conjunctions to connect ideas, and the complex grammatical structures of French. Even though you may have a good grasp of vocabulary, the way French grammar is structured can still be challenging!

- "S'en" is a reflexive pronoun that means "from it".

- "Y" is a pronoun that means "there".

- "Ils y demeureront éternellement" is in the future tense, which is formed by adding the ending "-ront" to the verb stem.

- "Ceux-là" emphasizes the group of people being referred to.

Grammar Notes:

- Subject-Verb Agreement: The verb in French must agree with the subject in number and person. For example, "Il ne t'appartient pas" (He doesn't belong to you) uses the singular form of the verb "appartient" because the subject is "Il" (he), which is singular.

- Pronoun Placement: Pronouns in French are often placed before the verb. In this sentence, the pronoun "vous" (you) appears before the verb "dépensez" (spend).

- Prepositions: Prepositions are important for conveying relationships between words. In the phrase "pour rechercher l'agrément d'Allah", "pour" (to) indicates purpose, and "d'Allah" (of God) shows possession.

Tips for Pronunciation:

- The "e" at the end of words like "elle" and "serviteurs" is often silent.

- "Allah" is pronounced with a short "a" sound, similar to the "a" in "father."

Grammar Notes

- The subjunctive mood is used in the French translation for the phrase "Ils aimeraient que vous vous détourniez de la foi" (They would like that you turn away from the faith). This is because the verb "aimer" (to like) expresses a desire or wish, and the subjunctive mood is used to express uncertainty or a hypothetical situation.

- The conditional tense is used in the French translation for the phrase "tant qu'ils n'auront pas émigré" (until they have emigrated). This is because the verb "avoir" (to have) is used to express a past action in the future.

- The imperative mood is used in the French translation for the phrases "Ne les prenez pas pour amis" (Don't take them as friends) and "Ne les prenez pas pour amis ni pour protecteurs" (Don't take them as friends nor for protectors). This is because the speaker is giving a command or instruction.

- "Savants" (sa-van) is used after the noun "magiciens" (ma-ji-si-an) because it is an adjective that modifies the noun.

- "Ce qu'ils font" is a relative clause, modifying the noun "ce" (that).

Pronunciation Assistance:

- Remember to pronounce the "e" at the end of words like "ils," "ils ont," "ils ont aveuglé," and "ils ont sourdi" as a very soft "uh" sound.

- Practice saying "Allah" with a strong "a" sound.

- The "r" sound in French is pronounced like a soft "r" in English.

Word for word explanation:

- Et - And (eh)

- t’est - is to you (teh)

- révélé - revealed (ray-vay-lay)

- et - and (eh)

This sentence encourages the reader to follow the divine guidance, to be patient, and to trust in God's judgement. The sentence emphasizes that God is the ultimate judge and He is the best at it.

French Translation:

Oui, celui qui a soumis sa face à Allah, et qui est bienfaisant, aura sa récompense auprès de son Seigneur, et il n'y a pas de crainte pour eux, et ils ne seront pas affligés.

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood for "celui qui" which means "the one who" in this context. The subjunctive mood is used to express possibility, desire, or uncertainty. The subjunctive is a grammatical mood used in some languages to express a non-factual or hypothetical state. In English, it is often expressed by using the words "may," "might," "could," or "should."

- The sentence also uses the negative construction "ne...pas" for "n'y a pas" which translates to "there is not". It uses the pronoun "ils" for "they", instead of "eux" for "them"

Pronunciation Tips:

- The letter "e" at the end of a word is generally silent in French. For example, "celui" is pronounced "suh-loo".

- The letter "h" is silent in French, unless it is followed by a vowel. For example, "homme" is pronounced "om" (man).

- The "r" sound is different in French than in English. It is pronounced with the tongue flat against the roof of the mouth.

This sentence demonstrates a few important grammatical points in French. It is a good practice to practice pronouncing the sentence aloud several times to learn the proper pronunciation.

French: "C'est à Toi seul que nous adorons, et c'est à Toi seul que nous demandons de l'aide."

- et c'est à Toi seul que nous demandons de l'aide. (Say: ay se tay sool kuh noo de-man-don duh laid)

- adorons: worship

- et: and

- c'est: it is

- à Toi: to you

Et ne calomniez pas ceux qui invoquent d’autres dieux que Dieu, de peur qu’ils ne calomniment Dieu, par ignorance.

French Translation:

Except for those who repented before you gained power over them. Know that God is Forgiving and Merciful.

Word for word explanation with Pronunciation Assistance:

- Except for - Sauf (pronounced "Sohf") - This word means "except" or "but"

- those who - ceux qui (pronounced "suh kuh") - this means "those who" and is used to introduce a relative clause

- repented - se sont repentis (pronounced "suh sohn ruh-pän-tee") - "se repentir" means "to repent". The past participle "repentis" is used in this context

- before - avant (pronounced "ah-vahn") - "before" in time

- you - vous (pronounced "voo") - "you" (plural)

- gained power over them - ayez acquis le pouvoir sur eux (pronounced "ay-eh ah-kee leh pwoo-vwar sur uh") - "acquérir le pouvoir sur" means "to gain power over". Here, the past participle "acquis" is used with the auxiliary verb "avez" (you have).

- and - et (pronounced "eh") - "and"

- Merciful - Miséricordieux (pronounced "mee-zay-ree-kor-dyuh") - "miséricordieux" means "merciful"

Grammar Rules:

This sentence demonstrates a grammatical structure common in French, using relative clauses introduced by "qui" ("who", "that") to add information about a noun. This type of clause can be considered a "sentence within a sentence."

The use of the subjunctive mood "sachez" is also important here, as it emphasizes the necessity of acknowledging God's forgiveness and mercy.

Tips for pronunciation:

- The "e" at the end of words is usually silent in French, except when it is followed by a consonant.

- The "r" is always pronounced in French.

- The letter "h" is almost always silent in French.

- In French, the emphasis is usually on the last syllable of a word, except for words that end in a vowel or a silent "e".

This is a complex sentence, and understanding its structure is essential for interpreting the text correctly.

- The "e" at the end of many words in French is silent. This is important to note, as it can make words sound different than you might expect.

- The "s" at the end of a word is generally pronounced as a "z" sound when followed by a vowel.

- Pay attention to accents! Accents change the pronunciation of vowels and can sometimes even change the meaning of a word.

- The "u" is often pronounced as a "oo" sound.

- The "ch" is pronounced as a "sh" sound.

Practice Tips:

- Read the translation aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation.

- Try to break down the sentence into smaller phrases.

- Look up any unfamiliar words in a dictionary.

- Practice writing the translation yourself, using the breakdown as a guide.

- The "r" is rolled in French, especially at the end of a word.

- Apostrophe (') is used to indicate the omission of a vowel, like "ne" becomes "n'" before a vowel.

- "font" is in the present tense, showing that the action of doing good deeds is continuous.

- "le pardon" and "une grande récompense" are both direct objects of the verb "a promis". This means that God promised these two things.

Note: The translation may be slightly different depending on the specific interpretation of the Arabic text.

French Translation:

Voilà, goûtez-y ! Et aux infidèles, il y a le châtiment du feu. (vo-wa, goo-tay-zee, eh oh in-fi-del, ee ya le sha-tee-mon du fu)

Word for Word Explanation:

- Voilà (vo-wa) - This is, behold, here it is.

- goûtez-y (goo-tay-zee) - taste it, experience it (the verb "goûter" means "to taste" and the "y" is an object pronoun referring back to the previous statement)

- Et (eh) - And

- aux infidèles (oh in-fi-del) - to the infidels, to the unbelievers ( "aux" is the preposition "to" with the plural definite article "les" - "the" combined. "infidèles" is the plural form of the noun "infidèle" meaning "unbeliever").

- il y a (ee ya) - there is (lit: it there has)

- le châtiment (le sha-tee-mon) - the punishment (the definite article "le" - "the" precedes the masculine noun "châtiment")

- du feu (du fu) - of the fire (the preposition "de" - "of" with the masculine definite article "le" - "the" combined).

Grammar Notes:

- Object Pronoun: The "y" in "goûtez-y" is an object pronoun. It replaces the direct object, usually a noun. In this case, it refers back to the previous statement, making it more concise.

- Definite Articles: Notice the use of definite articles "le" and "la" before nouns. This indicates that the speaker is referring to something specific or already known.

- Prepositions with Articles: The combinations of "aux" (à + les) and "du" (de + le) are common in French. They are formed by combining a preposition with the definite article.

English Translation:

That is, taste it! And for the unbelievers, there is the punishment of fire.

- The verb "être" (to be) is used with "musulman" (to be a Muslim)

- "Mon" (My) is a possessive adjective that agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies (in this case, "Messager").

- The French sentence also uses the subjunctive mood, "qu'ils étaient", (that they were) which is used to express a possibility, a wish, or an opinion.

French Translation:

Et ne mêlez pas la vérité au faux, et ne cachez pas la vérité alors que vous la connaissez.

- The subjunctive mood is used in the phrase "alors que vous la connaissez". It's used to express a situation that is uncertain or hypothetical. The subjunctive mood is often used after conjunctions like "alors que" (while) or "bien que" (although).

This sentence is a good example of how to use negative imperatives and subjunctive mood in French.

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the phrase "afin que vous puissiez être pieux". This is a grammatical construction used to express a wish, desire, or possibility. The subjunctive mood is often used after conjunctions like "afin que" (so that).

- The French language is very precise with articles (le, la, les, un, une). For example, "le Mont" is used here instead of simply "Mont" because "Mont" is a masculine noun, and it is preceded by a definite article (le) in this case.

- The French language uses a lot of compound prepositions, such as "au-dessus de" (above), which combine two words to express a specific meaning.

Pronunciation Tips:

- The French "r" is different from the English "r". It is pronounced more like a soft, guttural sound.

- Be careful with the French "u" sound. It is more like a short "oo" sound, not like the English "u".

- When you see an "s" at the end of a word, it is often silent.

French Translation

Ensuite, vos cœurs se sont endurcis après cela, ils sont devenus comme des pierres, ou encore plus durs. Et il y a des pierres d'où jaillissent des rivières, et il y en a qui se fendent et d'où sort l'eau, et il y en a qui tombent par crainte d'Allah. Et Allah n'est pas inattentif à ce que vous faites.

Word-for-word Breakdown

Ensuite, vos cœurs se sont endurcis après cela, ils sont devenus comme des pierres, ou encore plus durs.

- Ensuite (pronounced on-suit) = Then

- vos cœurs (pronounced voh ker) = your hearts

- se sont endurcis (pronounced suh son tan-door-see) = have become hardened (past participle of the verb "endurcir" - to harden)

- après cela (pronounced ah-pray suh-lah) = after that

- ils sont devenus (pronounced eel son duh-vuh-noo) = they have become

- comme des pierres (pronounced kom deh pee-air) = like stones

- ou encore plus durs (pronounced oo on-kor plooh door) = or even more hard

Et il y a des pierres d'où jaillissent des rivières, et il y en a qui se fendent et d'où sort l'eau, et il y en a qui tombent par crainte d'Allah.

- Et (pronounced ay) = And

- il y a (pronounced eel ee ah) = there are (literally "it there has")

- des pierres (pronounced deh pee-air) = stones

- d'où jaillissent des rivières (pronounced doo zha-yee-seen deh ree-vee-air) = from which gush forth rivers (literally "from where gush forth rivers"). This uses the present tense of the verb "jaillir" (to gush) and the plural form of "rivière" (river).

- et il y en a (pronounced ay eel ee ah) = and there are (literally "and it there has")

- qui se fendent (pronounced kee suh fon-don) = that crack (literally "that themselves split" – the verb "fendre" means to split)

- et d'où sort l'eau (pronounced ay doo sor lo) = and from which water comes out (literally "and from where comes out the water")

- et il y en a (pronounced ay eel ee ah) = and there are (literally "and it there has")

- qui tombent (pronounced kee tom-bon) = that fall

- par crainte d'Allah (pronounced par kran-tuh da-lah) = because of fear of God (literally "by fear of God"). "Crainte" means fear and "d'Allah" is the preposition "de" (of) and the Arabic name of God.

Et Allah n'est pas inattentif à ce que vous faites.

- Et (pronounced ay) = And

- Allah (pronounced ah-lah) = God

- n'est pas inattentif (pronounced nay pah een-ah-ten-teef) = is not inattentive (literally "is not not attentive")

- à ce que vous faites (pronounced ah suh kuh voo feht) = to what you do

Grammar Notes:

- In this passage, we see a lot of the use of "il y a" which means "there is/are" and is a very common construction in French. You are essentially saying "it there has" and then naming the object.

- The French language uses a lot of subjunctive mood, and we see it in the phrase "qui tombent par crainte d'Allah" (that fall because of fear of God) where "tombent" is in the subjunctive mood.

Pronunciation Tips:

- French vowels are generally spoken differently than English vowels. "E" is often pronounced like the "e" in "bed" or the "a" in "hat".

- "U" in French is pronounced like "oo" in "food" or "moon".

- "I" in French is pronounced like "ee" in "see" or "tree".

- The "s" at the end of a word is generally not pronounced.

- The letter "r" in French is always pronounced and is a bit more guttural than the English "r".

- Be aware that when letters are combined, they often have different sounds than when they are alone.

En vérité, les plus mauvais des animaux auprès d'Allah sont les sourds-muets qui ne raisonnent pas. (on-ve-ri-tay, lay pluh mo-vay day za-ni-moh oh-pray d'a-lah sont lay soord-mew ki ne rey-sohn pah)

Pronunciation Tips:

- The "e" at the end of a word is usually silent, but can be pronounced in some cases, such as in "vérité".

- The "u" in "muets" is pronounced as a "u" sound.

Important Note: This is a literal translation. The meaning of the sentence can be interpreted in a more nuanced way. For example, it can be interpreted as a statement about the importance of reason and understanding, and how those who lack these qualities are considered to be among the worst of creatures.

The phrase "suffit comme sachant" literally means "suffices as knowing." This emphasizes the completeness of God's knowledge and understanding.

Pronunciation Notes:

- French vowels are pronounced differently than English vowels. In particular, the "u" sound is similar to the "oo" sound in "food" or "moon".

- The "e" at the end of a word is generally silent, but it can affect the pronunciation of the preceding consonant.

- French uses liaisons, which are the linking of sounds between words. For example, in the phrase "C'est la grâce," the "t" at the end of "C'est" is linked to the "l" at the beginning of "la."

- The "c" sound in "comme" is pronounced with a "k" sound.

- The "s" at the end of "suffit" is pronounced as a "z" sound before a vowel.

Summary

The French sentence emphasizes the favor of God, and the fact that He has complete knowledge and understanding.

Grammar Notes:

- In French, the verb "to have" (avoir) is used with the past participle to create the passé composé (past tense). * Nous avons montré * This is the correct way to form the past tense in French for the verb "to have"

- The ne...pas construction is used to make the sentence negative.

- Les is the definite article (the) in French. It is used when referring to a specific noun.

- Un is the indefinite article (a) in French. It is used when referring to a noun that is not specific.

- The French language uses the inverted word order when asking a direct question. This means that the verb comes before the subject. * Pourquoi Dieu ne nous parle-t-il pas? *

Pronunciation:

It is important to pay attention to the French pronunciation, as it is different from English. The pronunciation guide above will help you to pronounce the words correctly.

I hope this helps you to understand the French translation of the Arabic sentence!

French Translation:

"En vérité, ceux que les anges ont emportés [en les faisant mourir] étant injustes envers eux-mêmes, dirent : « En quel état étiez-vous ? » Ils dirent : « Nous étions opprimés sur la terre. » Ils dirent : « La terre d'Allah n'était-elle pas vaste pour que vous migriez en elle ? » C'est donc eux dont le séjour est l'Enfer, et quelle mauvaise destination !"

Grammar Notes:

- Agreement of the past participle: In the sentence "ceux que les anges ont emportés", the past participle "emportés" agrees with the direct object "ceux" (those). This is a common grammatical rule in French.

- Subjunctive mood: The sentence "pour que vous migriez" uses the subjunctive mood after "pour que" (so that), which is common in French after expressions of purpose, desire, or possibility.

Pronunciation Notes:

- The "s" at the end of words like "ceux" and "ils" is often silent in French, especially when followed by a vowel.

- The "e" at the end of words like "terre" and "elle" is often silent.

- The "h" in "Allah" is silent, making it sound like "a-lah".

Important Note: This translation is a literal translation of the Arabic sentence, which is typical of religious texts. There may be other ways to translate the sentence that are more idiomatic or flow better in French. However, this translation attempts to be as accurate as possible to the original Arabic text.

- The verb "rencontrer" is in the infinitive form because it's part of a prepositional phrase ("avant de rencontrer").

- The verb "avoir" (to have) is used in the perfect tense with the past participle "vue" because it describes an action that was completed in the past.

- The pronoun "y" is used to replace "la mort" in the phrase "vous y regardiez" to avoid repetition and create a more concise sentence.

- The imperfect tense ("regardiez") is used again because it describes an action that was happening while another action ("vous l'avez vue") occurred.

Grammar Notes:

- Subjunctive Mood: The sentence "alors qu'ils auraient dû la rapporter..." uses the subjunctive mood in French. This is used to express a hypothetical or conditional statement.

- Direct Object Pronouns: The pronouns "la" and "l'" are used to represent the direct object of the verb. They refer to "une affaire" (an affair) and "la vérité" (the truth) respectively.

- Indirect Object Pronouns: The pronoun "leur" is an indirect object pronoun. It indicates that the affair is arriving to them.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Remember to pronounce the "e" at the end of most words in French, even if it's silent.

- Practice the liaison between words, where a consonant sound at the end of one word connects to a vowel sound at the beginning of the next. For example, "ils la divulguent" becomes "il-lah di-vul-guh."

- Pay attention to the stress on syllables. Generally, the stress falls on the last syllable if the word ends in a consonant, and on the second-to-last syllable if it ends in a vowel.

Remember to practice the pronunciation and grammar to help you understand and speak French confidently.

French Translation:

Puis, quand il arrive, vous y croyez. Maintenant, alors que vous en presseriez l'arrivée.

Word for Word Breakdown:

Puis: Then (pyee) - This is a conjunction introducing a consequence.

Grammar Notes:

- "Il arrive" is the present tense of the verb "arriver."

- "Vous y croyez" is the present tense of the verb "croire."

- "Alors que" introduces a subordinate clause, which is a clause that depends on a main clause for its meaning. In this case, the subordinate clause is "vous en presseriez l'arrivée," and the main clause is "Maintenant, vous y croyez."

Pronunciation:

The French pronunciation is fairly straightforward, but a few notes are helpful:

- "y" is pronounced like the English "ee"

- "en" is pronounced like the English "ɑ̃"

- "l'" is pronounced like the English "l" but without the "r" sound.

- "arriver" is pronounced with a soft "r" sound, like the French "r" in "bonjour"

- "croyez" is pronounced with a soft "z" sound, like the English "s" in "please"

English Translation:

Then, when it arrives, you believe in it. Now, you were hurrying for it to happen.

- Relative Pronouns: "qui" is a relative pronoun. It is used to connect a clause to a noun or pronoun. For example, "ceux qui se purifient" means "those who purify themselves".

- Negation: In French, to form a negation, we use "ne" before the verb and "pas" after the verb. For example, "ils ne seront pas lésés" means "they will not be wronged".

- Subject-Verb Agreement: In French, verbs must agree with the subject in number and person. For example, "Allah purifie" is in the third person singular because the subject "Allah" is singular.

- Article Usage: In French, articles are used before nouns. For example, "un brin de fil" means "a strand of thread".

- que contre eux-mêmes (kuh kon-tr uh-mem) - only against themselves (reflexive pronoun "eux-mêmes")

- et ils ne s'en aperçoivent pas (ay eel nu sahn a-per-swah pah) - and they don't realize it.

Grammar Notes:

- The use of avoir + past participle to form the past tense is a common verb conjugation in French.

- The reflexive pronoun eux-mêmes (themselves) is used because the plotting is against themselves.

- The verb "apercevoir" (to realize, to notice) is conjugated with the reflexive pronoun "se" (one's self).

Pronunciation Assistance:

- Pay attention to the silent "e" at the end of words.

- The "u" in "qu'ils" sounds like "ee".

- The "s" in "ils" is silent when followed by a consonant sound, like "ne" in "ne complotent".

- The "r" is generally pronounced.

French Translation:

Des biens dans ce monde, puis c'est vers nous qu'ils reviendront, puis nous leur ferons goûter le châtiment terrible en raison de leur mécréance.

Word-for-word Explanation:

- Des biens (pronounced: deh bee-ahn) - Possessions, goods

- dans ce monde (pronounced: dahn seh mond) - in this world (The word "ce" is used because it refers to something previously mentioned)

- puis (pronounced: pwee) - then, afterwards

- c'est vers nous (pronounced: seh vair noo) - it is towards us (The word "c'est" is the contracted form of "c'est-à-dire", meaning "that is to say")

- qu'ils reviendront (pronounced: keel ruh-vee-ohn-d-rohn) - that they will return (This is the future tense of the verb "revenir")

- puis (pronounced: pwee) - then, afterwards

- nous leur ferons goûter (pronounced: noo lur fuh-rohn goo-tay) - we will make them taste (The verb "faire" means "to make" and "goûter" means "to taste")

- le châtiment (pronounced: luh sha-tee-mahn) - the punishment

- terrible (pronounced: teh-ree-ble) - terrible

- en raison de (pronounced: ahn reh-zon duh) - because of

- leur mécréance (pronounced: lur meh-kray-ahn-ss) - their disbelief, their unbelief

Grammar Points:

- The sentence uses the future tense: "reviendront" and "ferons goûter".

- The word "puis" is used twice to connect the different parts of the sentence.

- The phrase "c'est vers nous" is a grammatical shortcut, using "c'est" as a substitute for "c'est-à-dire".

English Translation:

They will have possessions in this world, then they will return to us, then we will make them taste the terrible punishment because of their disbelief.

French Translation:

Il n'a point d'associé, et c'est à cela que j'ai été ordonné, et je suis le premier des musulmans.

English Translation:

- n'a (nah) - has (negative form)

- point (pwan) - not (used for emphasis)

- d'associé (da-so-sye) - partner, associate

- et (eh) - and

- c'est (seh) - it is

- à (ah) - to, at

- cela (suh-lah) - that

- que (kuh) - that

- j'ai (zhay) - I have

- suis (swee) - am

- le (luh) - the

- premier (pruh-myeh) - first

- des (deh) - of the

- musulmans (mu-sul-mahn) - Muslims

Grammar Notes:

- The phrase "n'a point" is used for emphasis and means "has not" or "has no."

- The verb "ordonné" is in the past participle form, which is used after the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) in the passé composé tense. This tense is used to describe an action that happened in the past.

- The word "des" is the plural form of the definite article "le" (the). It is used before a plural noun.

French Translation:

En vérité, ceux-ci sont des gens qui sont perdus dans ce qu'ils font et ce qu'ils ont fait est vain. (on-ve-ri-tay, soh-lay-see, sont, day-zhan, kee, sont, per-doo, dahn, suh-kee, kehl, feh, ay, eh, suh-kee, kehl, ont, fay, eh, veh).

Word-for-word explanation:

- En vérité (on-ve-ri-tay): This is an introductory phrase meaning "in truth" or "indeed". It's similar to "truly" or "verily" in English.

- ceux-ci (soh-lay-see): This is the plural masculine form of "this one". It refers to the people being discussed.

- sont (sont): This is the third-person plural form of the verb "être" (to be). It means "are" in English.

- des gens (day-zhan): This means "people" or "folks". "Des" is the plural form of "de" (of/from) and is used before a plural noun.

- qui (kee): This is a relative pronoun meaning "who" or "that". It introduces a relative clause that describes the "gens" (people).

- sont (sont): Again, this is the third-person plural form of "être".

- perdus (per-doo): This is the past participle of the verb "perdre" (to lose). It is used here in a figurative sense to mean "lost" in their actions or goals.

- dans (dahn): This is a preposition meaning "in" or "into". Here, it means "in what they are doing".

- ce qu'ils font (suh-kee, kehl, feh): This is a relative clause meaning "what they are doing". "Ce" is the neuter pronoun "it", "qu'ils" is the subject pronoun "they" and "font" is the verb "to do".

- et (ay): This is the conjunction "and".

- ce qu'ils ont fait (suh-kee, kehl, ont, fay): This is another relative clause meaning "what they have done". "Ce" is the neuter pronoun "it", "qu'ils" is the subject pronoun "they", and "ont fait" is the past participle of the verb "faire" (to do) used with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have). This is called the passé composé (past compound tense) in French.

- est vain (eh, veh): This is a phrase meaning "is vain" or "is futile". "Est" is the third-person singular form of the verb "être" (to be), and "vain" means "useless".

Grammatical points:

- The sentence is constructed with a relative clause: "qui sont perdus dans ce qu'ils font" and another one: "ce qu'ils ont fait". This is a common grammatical construction in French.

- The past compound tense (passé composé) is used in the phrase "ce qu'ils ont fait" (what they have done).

Pronunciation tips:

- "ceux-ci" (soh-lay-see) is pronounced with a soft "c" sound.

- "qu'ils" (kehl) is pronounced with a "k" sound, not a "kw" sound.

- "vain" (veh) is pronounced with a silent "n".

I hope this explanation helps you understand the French sentence. Let me know if you have any questions.

French Translation:

Et quand Nous faisons goûter aux gens la miséricorde après un malheur qui les a atteints, voilà qu'ils complotent contre Nos signes. Dis: "Allah est plus rapide à comploter. En vérité, Nos messagers écrivent ce que vous complotez."

- écrivent (ekʁiv) - write

- ce (sə) - what

- que (kə) - that

- vous (vu) - you

- complotez." (kɔ̃plɔte) - plot."

Grammar Notes:

- "Nous faisons goûter" is a construction used in French to express a causative action. It literally means "we make taste" but in this context, it translates to "we let people taste."

- "Voilà qu'ils complotent" is a way of saying "here they are plotting." This emphasizes the sudden and unexpected nature of their actions.

- "Allah est plus rapide à comploter" uses the comparative adjective "plus rapide" (more quick). The preposition "à" (to) is used before the infinitive verb "comploter" (to plot).

- "En vérité, Nos messagers écrivent..." emphasizes the truth of the statement. The noun phrase "Nos messagers" (Our messengers) acts as the subject of the verb "écrivent" (write).

This translation is intended to be a word-for-word guide to the French. The meaning can be further refined and nuanced in a more natural sounding translation.

Grammar Notes:

- Ne...pas: This is a negative construction in French, similar to "not" in English. It is used to negate verbs.

- vous: The pronoun "vous" is used to address more than one person, or one person formally. "Tu" is used when addressing one person informally.

- -Moi: The pronoun "Moi" is used after a verb to indicate the object of the verb.

Lorsqu'ils venaient à eux, leurs poissons, le jour de leur Sabbat, arrivaient en abondance. Mais le jour où ils ne respectaient pas le Sabbat, ils ne venaient pas. Ainsi, nous les avons éprouvés pour ce qu'ils avaient commis de désobéissance.

Word by Word Explanation:

- au sujet de (oh soo-jet de) - about

- la ville (la veel) - the city

- qui était (kee eh-tay) - which was

- au bord de la mer (oh bohr de la mehr) - by the sea

- quand ils transgressaient (kahn eel tran-greh-say) - when they were breaking

- le jour du Sabbat (luh joor du sa-bah) - the Sabbath day

- Lorsqu'ils venaient à eux (lohr-sk'eel vuh-nay ah uh) - When they came to them

- leurs poissons (leur pwa-sohn) - their fish

- le jour de leur Sabbat (luh joor de leur sa-bah) - on their Sabbath day

- pour ce qu'ils avaient commis de désobéissance (poor suh keel ah-vay kom-mee de day-soh-bay-sahnce) - for what they committed of disobedience

Grammar Notes

- "Le jour du Sabbat" - The French word for Sabbath is "Sabbat" and it is masculine, therefore it takes the masculine definite article "le".

- "Lorsqu'ils venaient à eux" - This uses the imperfect tense in French, which is used for actions that happened in the past and were repeated or ongoing.

- "Ainsi, nous les avons éprouvés" - This is a complex sentence that uses the past perfect tense ("avons éprouvés") which is used to indicate that the action happened before another action in the past. The phrase "pour ce qu'ils avaient commis de désobéissance" also uses the past perfect.

French Translation:

Alors, par ton Seigneur, ils ne croiront jamais, tant qu'ils ne te soumettront pas leur litige, puis qu'ils n'accepteront pas ton jugement sans réticence, et qu'ils ne se soumettent pas entièrement.

Word for Word Breakdown:

English Translation:

A messenger has come to you from among yourselves, who is dear to you, he suffers from what you suffer, he is desirous of your well-being, he is compassionate and merciful.

Breakdown:

This is a complex sentence in French, so let's break it down.

- Un messager is the subject of the sentence. It is a masculine noun, so the adjective "cher" is also masculine.

- est venu is the verb in the past tense. It is used with the preposition "à" to indicate movement toward something or someone. In this case, it is "à vous."

- de parmi vous means "from among yourselves." The preposition "de" shows origin and is used with the noun "parmi," which means "among."

- qui vous est cher is a relative clause that modifies "messager." It uses the relative pronoun "qui" which acts as the subject of the verb "est." The verb "est" is in the present tense, which is used with the adjective "cher" (dear).

- il souffre de ce que vous souffrez is another relative clause modifying the subject. It uses the pronoun "il" (he) to refer back to the subject "messager." The verb "souffre" is in the present tense and means "suffers." "De ce que vous souffrez" means "from what you suffer."

- il est désireux de votre bien is a third relative clause, also modifying the subject. "Désireux" is an adjective meaning "desirous." "De votre bien" is a prepositional phrase that means "of your well-being."

- il est compatissant et miséricordieux is a fourth relative clause modifying the subject. "Compatissant" and "miséricordieux" are adjectives meaning "compassionate" and "merciful" respectively.

Grammar Rules:

- Relative Clauses: Relative clauses modify a noun or pronoun. They begin with a relative pronoun (qui, que, dont, où).

- Agreement: Adjectives and pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.

- Prepositions: Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in the sentence.

Pronunciation:

French pronunciation can be tricky, but with practice, it will become easier.

- Pay attention to the stress in each word.

- The "e" at the end of a word is often silent.

- The "u" in "vous" is pronounced like "oo."

Remember to use the pronunciation guides above to help you as you practice.

Grammar rules:

- Gender agreement: In French, adjectives and articles need to agree in gender with the noun they describe. For example, "la sécurité" (the security) is feminine, so the adjective "entière" (entire) also needs to be feminine, becoming "entière".

- Pronoun placement: In French, pronouns are often placed before the verb. For example, "Ils cachent dans leur cœur ce qu'ils ne te révèlent pas" (They hide in their heart what they don't reveal to you).

- Subjunctive mood: The subjunctive mood is used in French to express doubt, possibility, or desire. For example, "Si vous étiez dans vos maisons, ceux sur qui la mort était écrite seraient sortis vers leurs lits" (If you were in your houses, those who were destined to die would have gone out to their beds).

Pronunciation assistance:

Remember that French pronunciation is different from English. Pay attention to the following:

- Silent letters: Many letters in French are silent, especially at the end of words. For example, "ils" is pronounced "eel".

- Nasal vowels: French has nasal vowels, which are pronounced with the air coming out of your nose. For example, "un" is pronounced "uhn".

- Stress: French words are typically stressed on the last syllable.

I hope this breakdown helps you understand the French translation and improves your understanding of French grammar.

French Translation:

French Translation:

Êtes-vous donc surpris que la parole de votre Seigneur vous soit parvenue par un homme d'entre vous, pour vous avertir, pour que vous soyez pieux et pour que vous soyez miséricordieux ?

Word-by-Word Explanation:

- Êtes-vous donc surpris (Pronounced: "Et-vous donc sur-pree") - This phrase is a direct translation of "Are you surprised" in a more formal way. "Donc" (pronounced "donk") adds emphasis.

- que la parole de votre Seigneur (Pronounced: "keh la par-ol duh vo-tre se-nyeur") - "Parole" (pronounced "par-ol") means "word" in French. "Seigneur" (pronounced "se-nyeur") is the French equivalent of "Lord" or "Master" in English.

- vous soit parvenue (Pronounced: "vous swah par-vuh-nyue") - This is a passive construction in French meaning "has come to you" or "reached you."

- par un homme d'entre vous (Pronounced: "par un om duh-truh vou") - This phrase means "by a man from among you."

- pour vous avertir (Pronounced: "pour vou ah-ver-tir") - This means "to warn you."

- pour que vous soyez pieux (Pronounced: "pour keh vou swah-yay pyeu") - "Soyez" (pronounced "swah-yay") is the plural imperative form of "être" (to be). "Pieux" (pronounced "pyeu") means "pious" or "righteous" in French.

- et pour que vous soyez miséricordieux (Pronounced: "eh pour keh vou swah-yay mee-ze-ri-kor-dyeu") - This phrase means "and for you to be merciful."

- ? - This is the question mark, indicating the sentence is a question.

Grammar Notes:

- The verb "être" (to be) is conjugated in the subjunctive mood ("soyiez" and "soyiez") to express a purpose or a desire. This is a common grammatical construction in French.

- The word order in French is more flexible than in English, but the basic structure is subject-verb-object.

English Translation:

Are you then surprised that the word of your Lord has come to you from a man among you, to warn you, to make you pious and to make you merciful?

French Translation:

Et Allah vous a certainement tenu sa promesse, lorsque vous les avez vaincus par sa permission, jusqu'à ce que vous ayez faibli et que vous ayez disputé sur l'ordre, et que vous ayez désobéi après qu'il vous ait montré ce que vous aimiez. Parmi vous, il y a ceux qui recherchent la vie présente, et parmi vous, il y a ceux qui recherchent l'au-delà. Puis il vous a détournés d'eux pour vous éprouver, et il vous a certainement pardonné. Et Allah est plein de bienfaits envers les croyants.

- Et Allah est plein de bienfaits envers les croyants. (And God is full of blessings towards the believers) ay a lah ay pl de bye na fe an ver le krwa yan

Grammar Rule:

Grammar Rules:

- "Dire" is a verb meaning "to say," and it conjugates irregularly. "Dirent" is the past tense of "dire" for the third person plural (they).

- The French sentence structure is different from the English sentence structure. In French, the verb usually comes after the subject (the person or thing performing the action). For example, in the sentence "les Juifs dirent," "les Juifs" is the subject and "dirent" is the verb.

- "Que Dieu les anéantisse" is a subjunctive clause. The subjunctive mood is used to express a wish, a possibility, or an uncertainty. In this case, it expresses the speaker's strong disapproval of the actions of the Jews and Christians.

- "Comment peuvent-ils s'égarer ainsi?" is an interrogative sentence (a question). The word order is similar to English, with the verb coming before the subject ("peuvent-ils") and the question word "comment" coming first.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- "Qu" at the beginning of a word is pronounced like the "k" sound in "kick."

- "Ou" is pronounced like the "oo" sound in "moon."

- "Eu" is pronounced like the "uh" sound in "fur."

- "I" is pronounced like the "ee" sound in "see."

- "Or" can be used in French to introduce a contrast or change in direction, similar to "but" or "however" in English.

Breakdown and Grammar Explanation:

- "Au nom d'Allah..." This is a common Arabic phrase that is translated literally into French.

- "Louange à Allah..." This phrase is also translated literally, but it's important to remember that "Allah" is the proper noun for God in Arabic and should be capitalized in French.

- "qui a créé..." This is a relative clause in French, and it uses the past participle "créé" to modify the noun "Allah."

- "ceux qui ont mécru..." This is another relative clause, this time with the past participle "mécru" modifying the noun "ceux" (those).

- "ils les égalent" This sentence uses the third-person plural pronoun "ils" (they) to refer back to the disbelievers mentioned in the previous clause. The object pronoun "les" (them) refers to the darkness and light that God created.

Pronounciation Tips:

- "Allah": The "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "father."

- "les cieux": The "e" in "cieux" is silent, so the word sounds like "syuh" (with a soft "s" sound).

- "ténèbres": The "e" in "ténèbres" is silent, so the word sounds like "tay-nair".

Additional Information:

- The first sentence is a phrase of invocation.

- The rest of the text is a verse from the Quran, chapter 14, verse 10.

- The text touches upon the concept of God's creation and the disbelief of those who deny His power.

- forcer (for-say) - force

- les gens (lay-zohn) - the people

- à devenir (ah-deh-ve-neer) - to become

- croyants (croy-ahn) - believers

Pronunciation Notes:

- "ou" in French is like the "oo" in "moon".

- "eu" in French is like the "uh" in "but".

- "ai" in French is like the "ay" in "say".

- "oi" in French is like the "wa" in "water".

Grammar Rules:

- "Si" (if) is followed by the imperfect subjunctive in French. This is used to express a hypothetical situation.

- "Tu peux" is the informal form of "you can". It is used when speaking to someone you know well.

- "à devenir" is the infinitive form of the verb "to become". It is used after the verb "forcer" to express the purpose of the action.

Additional Notes:

The sentence is a powerful statement about the nature of faith. It implies that belief is a personal choice that cannot be forced. The translation emphasizes this point by using the conditional tense in the first part of the sentence and the question "Est-ce que tu peux?" in the second part.

Grammar Notes:

- "Nous élevons les degrés de ceux que nous voulons." This is a complex sentence with a relative clause ("que nous voulons"). Relative clauses are introduced by the pronoun "que" (that) and they modify the noun they follow. In this case, "ceux" (those) is the noun that is being modified.

- "Ton Seigneur est certes Sage et Omniscient." This is a simple sentence that attributes qualities to "Ton Seigneur" (Your Lord). The word "certes" (certainly) emphasizes the certainty of the statement.

- "C’est" The "c" is silent.

- "Là" The "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "father."

Grammar Notes:

- "Et quand ton Seigneur dit aux anges..." This is a complex sentence with a dependent clause. The dependent clause begins with "quand" (when) and describes the time the Lord spoke to the angels. The main clause starts with "Et" (And) and continues the story.

- "Vas-tu y placer celui qui y fera du mal..." This is another complex sentence with a dependent clause. The main clause asks a question: "Vas-tu y placer celui?" The dependent clause, starting with "qui" (who) describes the one to be placed.

- "Je sais ce que vous ne savez pas." This sentence uses the verb "savoir" (to know) in two different forms. "Je sais" is the simple present tense while "vous ne savez pas" is the negative form.

English Translation:

And when your Lord said to the angels, "I am going to establish a caliph on Earth," they said, "Will you place there one who will cause corruption and shed blood, while we glorify you with our praise and sanctify you?" He said, "I know what you do not know."

- à part Lui - except Him (prepositional phrase with "à part" meaning "except" and "Lui" meaning "Him")

- et - and (conjunction)

- Il est - He is (verb "to be" in the present tense)

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses a lot of direct object pronouns like "Lui" and "Le". These are necessary to show the object of the action in the sentence. The pronoun "Lui" means "him" and is used after prepositions, while "Le" means "him" and is used directly after a verb.

- The sentence is written in the affirmative form, meaning that it states a fact.

- The verb "to be" is used in the present tense throughout the sentence. This is because the sentence is describing a state of being or a truth.

- "Adorez-Le" is in the imperative form, meaning it is a command or a request to worship Allah.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- Celui-là (suh-loo-ee-la) - The stress is on the second syllable ("loo")

- Allah (a-la) - The stress is on the first syllable ("a")

- divinité (dee-vee-nee-tay) - The stress is on the third syllable ("ni")

- Gardien (gar-dee-an) - The stress is on the second syllable ("dee")

This is a common statement in the Quran, which emphasizes the oneness of God and His role as the Creator and Protector of all things.

Grammar:

- "veut" is the third-person singular present tense of the verb "vouloir"

- "est" is the third-person singular present tense of the verb "être"

Notes:

- "Allah" is a proper noun, so it is capitalized.

- The word "Sa" is used instead of "Son" because "miséricorde" is feminine.

- The word "la" is used instead of "le" because "grâce" is feminine.

Pronunciation:

The French sentence is pronounced like this:

- eel a-cord sa mee-zay-ree-cord ah kee eel vuh eh a-la eh luh po-say-soor duh lah grahs ee-mans

French Translation:

À chaque nouvelle un lieu de repos, et bientôt vous saurez. (ah shak noo-vel un loo duh ruh-po, eh byan-to vou sah-ray)

Breakdown and Pronunciation:

- À chaque nouvelle (ah shak noo-vel): This means "to each news." "À" (ah) means "to" or "at". "Chaque" (shak) means "each" or "every". "Nouvelle" (noo-vel) means "news"

- un lieu de repos (un loo duh ruh-po): This means "a place of rest". "Un" (un) is the masculine singular indefinite article, meaning "a" or "an". "Lieu" (loo) means "place." "De" (duh) means "of" or "from." "Repos" (ruh-po) means "rest"

- et bientôt vous saurez (eh byan-to vou sah-ray): This means "and soon you will know". "Et" (eh) means "and". "Bientôt" (byan-to) means "soon". "Vous" (vou) means "you". "Saurez" (sah-ray) means "will know", the future tense of the verb "savoir" (to know).

Grammar Note: This is a complex sentence, as it has multiple parts and combines different verb tenses. It is an example of a compound sentence, made up of two independent clauses.

- The first clause is "À chaque nouvelle un lieu de repos." This means "to each news a place of rest" and is a simple sentence with a subject (nouvelle - news) and a predicate (un lieu de repos - a place of rest).

- The second clause is "et bientôt vous saurez." This means "and soon you will know". It is also a simple sentence, with a subject (vous - you) and a predicate (saurez - will know).

- These two clauses are joined together by the coordinating conjunction "et" (and). This makes them into a compound sentence.

Grammar Note:

The French sentence follows the typical structure of a declarative sentence: subject + verb + object. Notice the use of the subjunctive mood in the phrase quiconque croit en Dieu. The subjunctive mood is used to express an idea or a feeling that is not certain or that depends on a condition. In this case, it is used to indicate that anyone who believes in God and the Last Day will be saved from fear and affliction.

French Translation

Des messagers annonçant la bonne nouvelle et mettant en garde, afin qu'il n'y ait aucune excuse pour les gens envers Dieu après les messagers. Et Dieu est Tout-Puissant et Sage.

Grammar Notes

- "Des messagers" is a plural noun phrase and uses the definite article "des" (the) to indicate that we are talking about a specific group of messengers.

- "Annonçant" and "mettant en garde" are present participles, which are used to form compound verb tenses (like the English "being" or "doing"). Here they act like adjectives modifying the noun "messagers".

- "Afin qu'il n'y ait" introduces a subordinate clause, which explains the purpose of the messengers' mission.

- "Envers Dieu" is a prepositional phrase that indicates the direction of the excuse.

- "Tout-Puissant" is an adjective that describes God's power. It is used to describe God in an exalted or emphatic way.

- "Et Sage" is another adjective phrase that modifies the noun "Dieu" and adds to the description of his qualities.

Word for word breakdown in English:

Note: The structure of this French sentence follows the Arabic structure.

Et dis: (et dis / eh-dee) "Travaillez," (travaillez / tra-vay-yay) "car Allah verra votre œuvre, (car Allah verra votre œuvre / kar a-la verra vor œvr) ainsi que Son Messager et les croyants. (ainsi que Son Messager et les croyants / en-see kə sɔ̃ mesaʒe e le krwa-jɑ̃) Et vous serez ramenés à Celui qui connaît le caché et l'apparent, (et vous serez ramenés à Celui qui connaît le caché et l'apparent / e vu sere rame-ne a sə-lwi ki kɔ-ne lə ka-ʃe e l'a-pa-rɑ̃) et Il vous informera de ce que vous faisiez." (et Il vous informera de ce que vous faisiez / e i vu en-fɔr-me-ra də sə kə vu fe-zie)

English Translation:

And say, "Work, for Allah will see your work, and His Messenger and the believers. And you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you were doing."

Explanation:

- Et dis: This is a conjunction meaning "and say". It's used to connect the previous sentence to the current one.

- "Travaillez," This is the imperative form of the verb "travailler" (to work), meaning "work!". It is followed by a comma because it is a direct address to the audience.

- "car Allah verra votre œuvre," This is a complex sentence. It begins with the conjunction "car" (because) and explains the reason for the previous sentence. It translates to "because Allah will see your work".

- "ainsi que Son Messager et les croyants." This sentence adds to the previous one. The expression "ainsi que" means "as well as". It translates to "as well as His Messenger and the believers."

- "Et vous serez ramenés à Celui qui connaît le caché et l'apparent," This sentence is a complex structure. It translates to "And you will be returned to the One who knows the unseen and the seen." The word "Celui" means "He" and is used to refer to Allah.

- "et Il vous informera de ce que vous faisiez." This sentence continues the thought from the previous one. It translates to "and He will inform you of what you were doing".

Pronunciation Assistance:

- Et dis: eh-dee

- Travaillez: tra-vay-yay

- car Allah verra votre œuvre: kar a-la verra vor œvr

- ainsi que Son Messager et les croyants: en-see kə sɔ̃ mesaʒe e le krwa-jɑ̃

- Et vous serez ramenés à Celui qui connaît le caché et l'apparent: e vu sere rame-ne a sə-lwi ki kɔ-ne lə ka-ʃe e l'a-pa-rɑ̃

- et Il vous informera de ce que vous faisiez: e i vu en-fɔr-me-ra də sə kə vu fe-zie

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence structure is different from the English one. In French, the verb "travailler" comes before the subject "vous" (you), while in English the subject comes before the verb.

- The use of the definite article "le" (the) before "caché" (unseen) and "l'apparent" (seen) emphasizes that Allah knows the whole reality, not just a part of it.

- The past tense "faisiez" (did) is used because the sentence refers to a past action.

French Translation:

Ils dirent : "Nous nous sommes remis à Allah, notre Seigneur ! Ne nous fais pas un objet de tentation pour les gens injustes."

Word for Word Explanation:

- Ils (pronounced "eel") - They

- dirent (pronounced "dee-ron") - said (past tense of "dire")

- : "Nous (pronounced "noo") - "We"

- nous (pronounced "noo") - ourselves

- sommes (pronounced "som") - are

- remis (pronounced "ruh-mee") - entrusted

- à (pronounced "ah") - to

- Allah (pronounced "ah-lah") - God

- , notre (pronounced "no-truh") - our

- Seigneur (pronounced "seh-nyur") - Lord

- ! (pronounced "!") - exclamation mark

- Ne (pronounced "nuh") - Don't

- nous (pronounced "noo") - us

- fais (pronounced "feh") - make (present tense of "faire")

- pas (pronounced "pah") - not

- un (pronounced "uhn") - a

- objet (pronounced "oh-zheh") - object

- de (pronounced "duh") - of

- tentation (pronounced "ton-tah-syon") - temptation

- pour (pronounced "poor") - for

- les (pronounced "leh") - the

- gens (pronounced "zhon") - people

- injustes (pronounced "en-zhust") - unjust

- ." (pronounced ".") - period

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the phrase "Ne nous fais pas un objet de tentation..." This is because the verb "faire" (to make) is preceded by the negation "Ne" and the verb "nous faire" is referring to a future action that is hoped for or desired. This grammatical structure is common in French and often seen in requests, desires, and wishes.

- The phrase "remis à Allah" literally translates to "entrusted to Allah". This is a very important phrase in Islam.

- The verb "to be" is used in the past tense (étiez) after the conditional "si" (if) to form the conditional perfect.

- The pronoun "vous" (you) is used in the plural form to address multiple people.

Breakdown:

This passage is a strong rebuke of those who denied the prophet Muhammad's message. It points out that God had sent messengers before him, but these people had killed them despite the evidence they presented. The verse emphasizes that the rejection of messengers, even those who bring clear proofs, is a sign of hypocrisy and untruthfulness.

Grammar Notes:

- In French, the verb "être" (to be) comes after the subject in the sentence. For example, "Ceci est mon Seigneur" instead of "Mon Seigneur est ceci"

- The verb "associer" (to associate) is conjugated in the present tense, which is how you express that something is happening now.

English Translation:

When he saw the sun rising, he said, "This is my Lord, this is the greatest." Then, when it set, he said, "O my people, I am innocent of what you associate (with Allah)."

- The sentence uses the conjunction "et" twice to connect different clauses.

- The word "que" is used twice, introducing subordinate clauses.

- The word "ne...pas" is used to form the negative of the verb "pouvez."

Grammar Notes:

- "il y a" (there is) is an idiomatic expression in French. It's used to express existence, similar to the English "there is" or "there are".

- "Où que vous soyez" uses the subjunctive mood, which expresses a hypothetical situation. The subjunctive is used with conjunctions like "où que", "quoi que" (whatever), "quel que soit" (whatever may be) and "pour peu que" (provided that).

- "rivalisez" comes from the verb "rivaliser" which means "to rival" or "to compete".

- "bonnes œuvres" is a plural noun phrase that means "good deeds".

Remember, this is a literal translation. There might be more natural ways to express this sentence in French, but this breakdown will help you understand the meaning and grammar of the original Arabic sentence.

French Translation:

En vérité, ceux qui cachent ce qu'Allah a fait descendre du Livre et qui l'échangent contre un prix modique, ceux-là n'auront dans leurs ventres que le feu. Allah ne leur parlera pas le jour de la Résurrection et ne les purifiera pas. Et ils auront un châtiment douloureux.

English Breakdown:

- En vérité - In truth / on ve-ri-tay

- ceux qui cachent - those who hide / suh ki kash

- ce qu'Allah a fait descendre du Livre - that which Allah has sent down from the Book / suh k'allah ah fay dessan-druh du livr

- Et ils auront un châtiment douloureux - and they will have a painful punishment / ay ilz o-ron un sha-ti-mon doo-loo-ruh

Grammar Notes:

- Ceux qui cachent is a relative clause, modifying "ceux-là". It literally translates to "those who hide", but can be understood as "those who hide [the book]".

- Le jour de la Résurrection is a noun phrase, functioning as the object of the verb "parler".

- Un châtiment douloureux is a noun phrase, functioning as the object of the verb "auront".

This sentence uses the subjunctive mood in several places (e.g., "ce qu'Allah a fait descendre", "qu'ils l'échangent"), which is often used in French to express uncertainty or possibility.

French Translation:

Alors, quand ils oublièrent ce dont ils avaient été rappelés, Nous leur ouvrîmes les portes de tout, jusqu'à ce qu'ils se réjouissent de ce qu'ils avaient reçu. Puis Nous les saisîmes soudainement, et voilà qu'ils se sont retrouvés désespérés.

Dis: (dee) Say

que (kuh) that

je (zhuh) I

guidé (gwee-day) guided

par (par) by

mon (mon) my

Seigneur (sen-yur) Lord

qui (kee) who

était (eh-tay) was

sincère (san-ser) sincere

Et (eh) And

je (zhuh) I

ne (nuh) not

faisais (feh-zay) was

pas (pa) not

partie (par-tee) part

des (deh) of the

polythéistes. (poh-lee-tay-eehst) polytheists

Word-for-Word Explanation:

This is a very interesting sentence, and it is very common in the Quran. It begins with the command "Dis" which means "say". This is a very common way to begin a verse, especially when it is meant to be read aloud.

The sentence then uses the word que which is a conjunction that is similar to "that" in English.

The phrase je suis guidé means "I am guided". The verb suis means "I am". The past participle guidé is used here, so it is similar to the English "guided".

The next part of the sentence is par mon Seigneur. Par means "by" and mon means "my". Seigneur is a fancy word for "Lord".

The next part of the sentence is vers un chemin droit. Vers means "towards". Un is the indefinite article "a". Chemin means "path" or "way". Droit means "straight".

The next phrase is en religion juste. En means "in" and religion means "religion". Juste means "just" or "righteous".

Next, we have la religion d'Abraham. La is the definite article "the" and religion again means "religion". D'Abraham means "of Abraham".

Next we have qui était sincère. Qui means "who" and était means "was" (past tense). Sincère means "sincere" or "true".

Finally, we have the last two phrases: Et je ne faisais pas partie des polythéistes. Et means "and". Je means "I" and ne means "not". faisais means "was" in the past tense. Pas means "not" and partie means "part". Des is the plural of "the". Polythéistes means "polytheists".

Grammar Rules:

The word order in French is generally Subject-Verb-Object. However, in this sentence, the verb dis comes at the beginning, which is a common feature of sentences beginning with a command or imperative.

The phrase je suis guidé is a simple present tense form of the verb être (to be), meaning "I am" followed by the past participle guidé. Guidé agrees with the subject je, as it is in the masculine singular form.

The word vers is a preposition meaning "towards". It is followed by a noun phrase un chemin droit meaning "a straight path".

The phrase la religion d'Abraham uses the definite article la before the noun religion to refer to a specific religion. The preposition d' is used to connect the noun religion to the name Abraham.

The phrase qui était sincère uses the relative pronoun qui to refer back to Abraham. It also uses the past tense of the verb être (to be), était, to describe Abraham's state of being.

The phrase je ne faisais pas partie is a negation. The negative ne precedes the verb faisais, and the word pas is placed after the verb. The phrase des polythéistes is the plural of the noun polythéiste.

French Translation:

Comme ceux qui vous ont précédés, ils étaient plus forts que vous en puissance, plus riches en biens et en enfants. Ils ont joui de leur création, vous avez joui de votre création, comme ceux qui vous ont précédés ont joui de leur création. Et vous avez été éprouvés comme ceux qui ont été éprouvés avant vous. Leurs œuvres se sont avérées vaines dans ce monde et dans l'autre. Et ceux-là sont les perdants.

Grammar Notes:

- "Comme ceux qui vous ont précédés" This is a complex sentence structure using a relative clause. The relative pronoun "qui" refers back to "ceux" and introduces the clause that explains what kind of people they were.

- "Ils ont joui de leur création..." This is a repetition of the same sentence structure, highlighting the similarity between the people of the past and the people of the present.

- "Leurs œuvres se sont avérées vaines..." This is a passive voice construction, meaning that the action of "being proven vain" is done to the works, rather than by them.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay close attention to the sound of "u" in French, which is often pronounced as a "oo" sound.

- Practice saying the "r" sound, which is often softer than in English.

- Remember that most French words are pronounced as they are written, with some exceptions like silent letters.

- Indirect object pronoun: The pronoun "le" (referring to "chemin") is an indirect object pronoun. It is placed before the verb "rendre" to indicate that "chemin" is being acted upon.

Notes:

- The phrase "gens du Livre" refers to the people who received a divine book, specifically Jews and Christians.

Except for the weak men, women and children, who cannot find any means and cannot find their way.

Word-by-Word Breakdown:

- Except for: Sauf pour (pronounced "soof poor") - This is a preposition meaning "except for" or "apart from."

It uses the same verb "pouvoir" and "trouver" as before, and "leur" meaning "their" followed by "chemin" meaning "way" or "path."

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the relative clauses ("qui ne peuvent pas" and "et ne peuvent pas"). The subjunctive is often used after expressions of doubt or necessity, such as "except for" in this case.

- The plural forms of the nouns and adjectives are used because the sentence refers to groups of people.

- The phrase "votre prière est un apaisement pour eux" uses the definite article "le" before "apaisement," because it is already known to the reader what is being talked about.

Take from their possessions an alms which will purify them and cleanse them through it. And pray for them, for your prayer is a source of tranquility for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Grammar Notes:

- This sentence uses the inverted word order characteristic of formal French. The verb "niez-vous" comes before the subject "vous". This is common in questions and exclamations.

- "D'Allah" is a possessive phrase meaning "of Allah". It is used to show ownership or association.

- "Alors que" is a conjunction meaning "while" or "whereas". It introduces a contrasting element.

- "Les versets d'Allah" is a noun phrase referring to "the verses of Allah". The definite article "les" is used because the verses are already known.

- "Les voyez" is a verb phrase in the present tense. The verb "voir" is conjugated in the second person plural to agree with the subject "vous".

English Translation:

O people of the Book, why do you deny the verses of Allah when you see them?

They said, "Indeed, we are returning to our Lord."

French: Ils ont dit : "En vérité, nous retournons à notre Seigneur."

Explanation:

In this sentence, "ils ont dit" literally means "they have said," but it is used to translate "they said". In French, it is very common to use the present perfect tense to express an action that happened in the past.

The French phrase "en vérité" is used to emphasize the truth of the statement and is equivalent to the English "indeed."

The French phrase "nous retournons à" means "we are returning to" and refers to the idea of returning to God.

The final word "Seigneur" means "Lord" and refers to God.

- The second part of the sentence uses the present tense: "ils répondent". This is because it is a statement of fact.

- The phrase "ne...que" (only) is used to emphasize that the action is limited to repairing.

French Translation:

Et ceux qui, lorsqu'ils commettent une turpitude ou qu'ils se font injustice à eux-mêmes, se souviennent d'Allah, demandent pardon pour leurs péchés, et qui d'autre que Dieu peut pardonner les péchés ? Ils ne persistent pas dans ce qu'ils ont fait, alors qu'ils savent.

- "ils ne persistent pas" is a negative sentence using the negative particle "ne" followed by the verb "persistent" in the negative form. This is the common pattern for making a verb negative in French.

English Translation:

Let's break down the French translation of the Arabic sentence:

French: Et que ceux qui ont mécru ne croient pas qu'ils sont en avance. En vérité, ils ne peuvent pas empêcher [Dieu].

This sentence also shows a common structure in Arabic and French: a structure where "ne...pas" (in French) or "la" (in Arabic) is used to negate a verb.

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence structure is quite different from English. In French, the verb often comes after the subject and object.

- French uses articles (like le, la, les) more often than English, and they are required even when an English speaker would omit them.

- French has a number of verb tenses that are not found in English, such as the passé composé (which is used here to express completed actions in the past) and the conditionnel passé (which is used here to express hypothetical actions in the past).

- The use of the indefinite article il en est (there are some) is a common way to express the idea of "there are some who" in French.

- The phrase peu de biens is a quantifier structure. Peu is an adjective agreeing in number with biens, which is in the plural because it is a noun that generally designates multiple things.

- The use of the conjunction puis indicates a logical connection between the first part of the sentence and the second.

- The interrogative adjective quel is used here to express a sense of disapproval or condemnation - "what a bad abode!"

Grammar Notes:

- This sentence utilizes the subjunctive mood in French. It is a grammatical mood that expresses a wish, doubt, possibility, or a hypothetical situation. In this case, the subjunctive mood is used with the conjunction "si" (if) to indicate a hypothetical situation.

- The French phrase "en petit nombre" (in small number) and "en grand nombre" (in large number) literally mean "in small quantity" and "in large quantity." However, they are commonly used to refer to the number of people or things.

- The French word "poitrines" (chests, hearts) can be a bit confusing as it can refer to both the physical chest and the metaphorical heart. In this context, it refers to the metaphorical heart, meaning the inner thoughts and feelings of the people involved.

This is just a small excerpt from the Quran, a fascinating text rich with history, culture, and religious teachings. I hope this breakdown helps you understand the French translation and the grammatical nuances of the sentence.

In this case, the subjunctive mood is used to express the idea that the people who disbelieved are indeed the worst creatures in the eyes of Allah.

French Translation:

Il n'y a point de contrainte en religion. La bonne direction s'est distinguée de l'égarement. Quiconque donc désavoue le faux dieu et croit en Allah, s'est cramponné à une poignée solide, qui ne se rompra jamais. Et Allah est Audient, Omniscient.

Grammar Notes:

- Reflexive Verbs: The verbs "s'est distinguée" and "s'est cramponné" are both reflexive verbs. This means the subject (the right direction and the believer) performs the action on themselves.

- "Qui ne se rompra jamais" is a relative clause that modifies "poignée solide". It literally translates to "that will not break itself never." The reflexive "se" adds emphasis to the action.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the nasal sounds in words like "en", "bon", "donc", "un".

- The "s" sound at the end of words like "est", "s'est", "jamais" is silent.

English Translation:

They will have the abode of peace with their Lord. And He will be their protector, in reward for what they have done.

Word for Word Explanation:

- Ils (pronounced "eel") - They

- auront (pronounced "oh-rong") - will have

- la demeure (pronounced "la duh-mur") - the abode/dwelling place

- de la paix (pronounced "duh la peh") - of peace

- "Ce qu'ils auront fait" is a relative clause, which provides further information about the preceding noun ("récompense"). The verb "faire" (to do) is in the past participle "fait" because it is used with the auxiliary verb "avoir" in the future tense.

French Translation:

Et recite-leur l'histoire de celui à qui Nous avons donné Nos signes, puis il s'en est dégagé, et le Diable l'a suivi, et il est devenu un des égarés.

Explanation:

This sentence uses the past tense (passé composé) in French. To form the passé composé, you use the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) conjugated in the appropriate tense followed by the past participle of the main verb. Here, "avoir" is conjugated as "avons" because the subject is "nous" (We) and the past participle of the verb "donner" (to give) is "donné."

Example: "Nous avons donné" - "We have given"

In addition, the French sentence uses "le Diable" which is the definite article "le" (the) and the noun "Diable" (Devil). This is because the Devil is considered a specific entity.

The French sentence also uses the preposition "de" (of) after "l'histoire" (the story) to indicate what kind of story it is.

English Translation:

And recite to them the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, then he freed himself from them, and the Devil followed him, and he became one of the astray.

French Translation:

- puis (pwee) - then

- ils (ee) - they

- ne (nuh) - not

Grammar Notes:

- "Les" is used as a direct object pronoun, referring to "leurs frères". In French, direct object pronouns come before the verb.

- "Ne" is used with the verb "s'arrêtent" to create a negative sentence. The "ne" comes before the verb, and the "pas" comes after it.

- "Puis" connects two clauses, indicating that one action follows another.

Pronunciation Tips:

- "Eh" - Pronounced like "ay" in "say"

- "Leur" - Pronounced like "luhr"

French Translation:

Allah se moque d'eux et les laisse errer dans leur désobéissance, aveuglés. (pronounced: a-la se mok duh eh, eh layss eh-re dan lur day-so-bay-sahns, av-gle)

English Breakdown & Pronunciation:

- Allah (pronounced: a-la): This is the Arabic word for God.

- se moque (pronounced: se mok): "Se moquer de" means "to mock" or "to make fun of." It's a reflexive verb, so we use "se" before the verb.

- d'eux (pronounced: duh) means "of them".

- et (pronounced: eh) means "and"

- les laisse (pronounced: layss): "Laisser" means "to let" or "to allow." This is the third person plural present tense of the verb.

- errer (pronounced: eh-re): This means "to wander" or "to stray."

- dans (pronounced: dan): This means "in" or "within."

- leur (pronounced: lur): This means "their."

- désobéissance (pronounced: day-so-bay-sahns): This means "disobedience."

- aveuglés (pronounced: av-gle): This means "blinded" or "oblivious." It's the past participle of the verb "aveugler" which means "to blind".

Grammar Notes:

- "Se moquer de" is a reflexive verb. Reflexive verbs are verbs that have a reflexive pronoun (like "se") that reflects back on the subject of the verb.

- "Laisser" is a regular verb in French. The third person plural form of the verb is "laissent," which means "they let" or "they allow".

English Translation:

God mocks them and lets them wander in their disobedience, blinded.

French Translation:

Le châtiment de ceux qui combattent Allah et Son Messager, et qui cherchent la corruption sur terre, est la mort, ou la crucifixion, ou la coupure de leurs mains et de leurs pieds d’un côté opposé, ou l’exil de la terre.

The punishment of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and who seek corruption on earth, is that they should be killed, or crucified, or that their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides, or that they should be exiled from the land.

Grammar Notes:

- "Le châtiment de ceux" is a noun phrase with the noun "châtiment" modified by the prepositional phrase "de ceux". This construction is similar to the English phrase "the punishment of those."

- "qui combattent" is a relative clause that modifies "ceux". This is similar to the English phrase "who fight".

- "ou la crucifixion, ou la coupure" is an example of a series of noun phrases. The repeated conjunction "ou" (or) is used to connect the phrases. This structure is similar to the English construction "or crucifixion, or the cutting off."

- "d’un côté opposé" is a prepositional phrase that modifies "la coupure". The preposition "de" is used to introduce the phrase. This is similar to the English phrase "from opposite sides."

- "Ceci est" is a simple sentence. The word "est" is the verb in the sentence.

This is a very complex sentence with many grammatical structures. It is important to break down the sentence into smaller parts in order to understand the meaning.

(pronounced: pah)

Word-for-Word Explanation:

- Dis: This is the imperative form of the verb "dire" (to say). It translates to "Say."

- qui: This is a relative pronoun that means "who." It introduces a relative clause that describes the people who invent lies.

- inventent: This is the present tense of the verb "inventer" (to invent). It means "invent" in this context.

- The sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the clause starting with "que." This is because the main verb "dis" is in the imperative form, which requires the subjunctive mood in the dependent clause.

- The negation in the sentence is formed using "ne" and "pas." This is the standard way to form negative sentences in French.

- The verb "réussiront" is conjugated in the third person plural to agree with the subject "ceux."

Grammar Note: This is a complex sentence structure using "C’est…" as a way to emphasize the subject, "cela". It’s similar to saying “This is what…” in English. The verb "récitons" is conjugated in the first person plural (we) and the direct object pronoun "te" refers to the person being addressed.

Pronunciation: The French sentence is pronounced as follows:

se sə.la kə nu tə re.si.tɔ̃ par.mi le vɛʁ.sɛ e le ra.pɛl saʒ

French Translation:

Et ne prenez pas en mariage les femmes que vos pères ont épousées, sauf ce qui est déjà arrivé. En effet, cela est une abomination, un acte répugnant et une mauvaise voie.

Grammar Note: In French, the verb "être" (to be) is often used in this way. The word "est" (is) in this sentence is the third-person singular form of the verb "être."

This sentence uses the verb "élever" (to raise) in the passé composé tense. This tense is used to describe an action that happened in the past and is completed. The passé composé is formed using the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the past participle of "élever" is "élevé."

Grammar Notes:

- "Qui" is a relative pronoun used to introduce a subordinate clause that describes the noun before it.

- The verb "enseigner" (to teach) is conjugated in the present tense. The pronoun "vous" is used because the subject is plural.

- "Ce que" is a complex pronoun used to introduce a subordinate clause that acts as the object of the verb "apprendre" (to teach).

This sentence illustrates a typical structure in French, where the subject is followed by the verb and then the object. There are also several relative clauses, introduced by the relative pronoun "qui," which provide further information about the subject.

C'est donc Dieu, votre Seigneur, la Vérité. Et que peut-il y avoir après la Vérité, sinon l'égarement ? Alors, comment pouvez-vous être détournés ?

Grammar Rule:

- The word vous is the informal "you" in French, it's plural, so it can refer to a group of people, but can also be used in informal settings for a single person. The formal "you" in French is vous but it has a different pronunciation.

Pronunciation assistance:

- The French language has a lot of silent letters, so the way words are spelled is not necessarily how they are pronounced. For example, "c'est" is pronounced "say," "donc" is pronounced "donk," and "votre" is pronounced "votr." When you see a word in French, always look for the pronunciation assistance to help you say it correctly.

- Future Tense: "Serez" is in the future tense, indicating an action that will happen in the future.

English Translation:

And establish prayer and fear Him. And it is He to whom you will be gathered.

- "se rendre compte" is a common expression meaning "to realize"

This sentence is a bit more complex, using a few grammatical concepts. The key is to break it down into smaller parts, understand the individual word meanings, and then put them back together to understand the sentence as a whole.

This sentence demonstrates the use of imperative, conditional, and present tenses, along with the use of direct object pronouns and prepositional phrases.

bienfaisants (benefactors) - Pronunciation: bee-on-fay-son

Grammar Note: The phrase "Nous vous pardonnerons vos péchés" utilizes the future tense in French. The future tense in French is formed by adding the following endings to the infinitive of the verb:

- -ai for the first person singular (je)

- -as for the second person singular (tu)

- -a for the third person singular (il/elle/on)

- -ons for the first person plural (nous)

- -ez for the second person plural (vous)

- -ont for the third person plural (ils/elles)

In this instance, the verb "pardonner" (to forgive) takes the endings "-ons" for the first person plural (nous) and "-ez" for the second person plural (vous).

Pronunciation: The French language uses a variety of sounds that may be unfamiliar to English speakers. Here are some key pronunciation points for this translation:

- The "e" sound: The French "e" sound is often silent or pronounced as a very short "uh" sound. For example, in the word "cette," the "e" is silent.

- The "r" sound: The French "r" sound is often pronounced with the back of the tongue, unlike the English "r" sound which is made with the tip of the tongue.

- The "u" sound: The French "u" sound is similar to the English "oo" sound, as in "moon."

- The "on" sound: The French "on" sound is often pronounced as a single sound, similar to the English "ohn."

French Translation:

Et s'ils rompent leurs serments après leur pacte, et s'ils attaquent votre religion, combattez les chefs de l'incroyance. En vérité, ils n'ont pas de serments, peut-être s'arrêteront-ils.

English Translation:

Word by Word Breakdown with Pronunciation:

Grammar Notes:

- S'ils is a contraction of "si ils". This is common in French, combining "si" (if) and the subject pronoun.

- L'incroyance is a noun meaning "disbelief". It uses the definite article "l'" before the noun because it's a general concept.

- Peut-être is an adverb meaning "perhaps".

- S'arrêteront is a future tense conjugation of the verb "s'arrêter" (to stop). The conjugation is the same for all subjects in the third person plural.

Grammar Notes:

- Reflexive verbs: Some verbs in French require a reflexive pronoun (like "se" for "yourself"). These verbs are often used when the subject is acting upon themselves. Examples: se laver (to wash oneself), se coucher (to go to bed), se brosser les dents (to brush one's teeth).

- Future tense: The future tense in French is formed by combining the infinitive of the verb with the appropriate future tense endings (e.g., -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont).

- Passive voice: The passive voice is used when the action of the verb is done to the subject, not by the subject. It is formed with the auxiliary verb "être" (to be) + past participle of the main verb. Example: Le livre est lu par l'enfant. (The book is read by the child.)

- Relative pronouns: Relative pronouns (like "qui" - who, "que" - that, "dont" - whose) connect a dependent clause to the main clause. They introduce information that describes or explains the noun or pronoun in the main clause.

Pronunciation Tips:

- The "e" at the end of words is often silent in French.

- The "r" sound is generally pronounced with the tip of the tongue against the roof of the mouth, similar to a rolled "r" sound in some languages.

- Pay attention to the accent marks (acute, grave, circumflex) as they affect the pronunciation of the vowel.

- The letter "c" is pronounced like "k" before "a," "o," and "u."

- The letter "s" at the end of a word is usually pronounced as a voiceless "s" sound.

French Translation:

Et vous aurez la moitié de ce que laisseront vos épouses, s'il ne leur reste pas d'enfants. Et s'il leur reste des enfants, alors vous aurez le quart de ce qu'elles laisseront, après le testament qu'elles auront fait ou la dette. Et elles auront le quart de ce que vous laisserez s'il ne vous reste pas d'enfants. Et s'il vous reste des enfants, alors elles auront le huitième de ce que vous laisserez, après le testament que vous aurez fait ou la dette. Et si un homme ou une femme meurt sans descendance et a un frère ou une sœur, chacun d'eux aura un sixième.

And you shall have the half of that which your wives leave, if they leave no child.

And they shall have the fourth of that which you leave, if you leave no child. But if you leave a child, then they shall have the eighth of that which you leave, after any bequest you may have made or any debt.

And if they are more than that, they shall share in a third after any bequest that may have been made, or any debt, not being in any way prejudicial; it is a bequest from God. And God is All-knowing, Most Clement.

French Translation:

Et quand on leur dit : "Venez à ce qu’Allah a fait descendre et au Messager," tu vois les hypocrites se détourner de toi avec aversion.

English Breakdown:

- Et quand on leur dit: And when it is said to them (pronunciation: eh kahn ohn lur di) - This is a conjunction that introduces a conditional clause.

- Venez à ce qu’Allah a fait descendre: (pronunciation: vuh-neh ah suh k’allah ah feh dessahn-druh) - Come to that which Allah has revealed/sent down. This is a direct object phrase and the verb "Venez" (come) is in the imperative form.

- Et au Messager: (pronunciation: eh oh meh-sah-jay) - And to the Messenger. This is a conjunction adding to the previous phrase.

- Tu vois les hypocrites: (pronunciation: too vwa leh-zee-po-kreet) - You see the hypocrites. "Tu" is the informal "you" and is used in this context as the pronoun refers to the reader or listener.

- Se détourner de toi avec aversion: (pronunciation: suh day-toor-nay duh twah ah-vek ah-vair-syohn) - Turning away from you with aversion. The verb "se détourner" (to turn away) is in the reflexive form and is used here to show the action of the hypocrites. "Aversion" refers to the feeling of disgust or dislike.

Grammar Note: In French, the adjective usually follows the noun it describes. In this case, "hypocrites" is a noun, and "les" is the definite article. So, the adjective "hypocrites" follows the noun "les."

English Translation:

And when it is said to them: "Come to what Allah has revealed and to the Messenger," you will see the hypocrites turning away from you with aversion.

- The preposition "de" is often used with "des" (some) to show possession. It's like saying "of the" in English.

English Translation:

Before you, there have been traditions, so travel the earth and see what happened to the liars.

Grammar Notes

- The French sentence structure is often different from English. In this case, the verb "avoir" (to have) comes before the past participle "pris" (taken), making it the "passé composé" (past tense) in French.

- The phrase "des enfants d'Israël" uses the definite article "des" because we are referring to a specific group of people (the Children of Israel).

- The French word "vers" means "towards" and is used to indicate direction.

- The French word "ce que" is a relative pronoun used to introduce a subordinate clause that explains or clarifies the antecedent (in this case, "ce que leurs âmes n'aimaient pas").

- The verb "aimer" (to love) is conjugated in the past tense (n'aimaient pas) because it refers to an action that happened in the past.

This example demonstrates a simple sentence structure in French. As you become more comfortable with the language, you will encounter more complex sentences and grammatical structures. Don't hesitate to ask for clarification or further explanation on any specific point!

Grammar Notes:

- Subject-Verb Agreement: The verb must agree with the subject in number and gender. For example, in the sentence "Ceux-là sont les gens du Paradis," the subject "Ceux-là" is plural masculine, so the verb "sont" is also plural masculine.

- Prepositions: Prepositions show the relationship between words in a sentence. In French, prepositions are often used with specific articles, such as "à" with "une" (à une âme).

- Adjectives: Adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender and number. In the sentence "de bonnes œuvres," the adjective "bonnes" is feminine plural to agree with "œuvres."

- Pronoun Agreement: Pronouns must agree with their antecedent (the word they refer to) in gender and number. For example, "ils" (they) refers to "Ceux-là" (those), which is masculine plural.

Remember: This is a basic breakdown. French grammar is complex, and there are many other rules to learn. It's important to practice and consult a grammar book or online resources for further information.

Grammar Note: The French language uses a lot of conjunctions, which are words that connect clauses. The conjunction "et" ("and") is very common and is used to link together different parts of the sentence. You can also find conjunctions like "mais" ("but"), "ou" ("or"), and "car" ("because").

You will also notice that French verbs are often conjugated. This means that they change form depending on the subject and tense of the sentence. For example, the verb "tuer" (to kill) is conjugated as "tue" in the present tense, "tuait" in the imperfect tense, and "tuera" in the future tense.

Learning to conjugate verbs is essential for speaking and writing French correctly. You can use online resources or a grammar book to help you with this.

They said, "O Moses, verily there is a tyrannical people therein, and we will not enter it until they leave it. If they leave it, then we will enter."

French: Ils dirent : « Ô Moïse, il y a certainement un peuple tyrannique là-bas, et nous n’y entrerons pas tant qu’ils ne l’auront pas quittée. S’ils la quittent, alors nous y entrerons. »

- un (pronounced uhn) - a

- peuple (pronounced poepl) - people

- tyrannique (pronounced tee-ra-neek) - tyrannical

- là-bas (pronounced lah-bah) - there, over there

- et (pronounced ay) - and

- nous (pronounced noo) - we

- n’y (pronounced nee) - not there (this is the contraction of ne and y)

- entrerons (pronounced on-truh-ron) - will enter - future tense of entrer (to enter)

- pas (pronounced pah) - not

- tant (pronounced ton) - so much

- qu’ils (pronounced keel) - that they

- ne (pronounced nuh) - not (this is the negative particle that precedes a verb in the subjunctive mood)

- alors (pronounced ah-lor) - then

- nous (pronounced noo) - we

- y (pronounced ee) - there

- entrerons (pronounced on-truh-ron) - will enter - future tense of entrer (to enter)

Grammar Notes:

- The subjunctive mood is used after expressions of doubt, uncertainty, will, necessity, or desire. It is a mood used to express a possibility or an idea that is not necessarily certain.

- The subjunctive often follows conjunctions like si (if), quand (when), que (that), or après que (after). In this sentence, we see the subjunctive used after tant qu’ils (so much that they). The subjunctive is ne plus the verb conjugated according to the rules of the subjunctive mood.

- The future tense of verbs is formed by adding the appropriate ending to the infinitive of the verb. The future tense indicates that an action will happen in the future. In this sentence, we have the future tense verbs entrerons and auront.

This translation is just one way to interpret the sentence. You can use it as a starting point and then find other ways to say the same thing in French. Don’t be afraid to experiment! The more you practice, the better you will become at understanding and speaking French.

- vous (pronounced: voo) - You (plural)

- ont (pronounced: ohn) - Have (past participle of avoir)

- interrogés (pronounced: en-ter-ro-zhay) - Asked / Questioned (past participle of interroger)

English Translation:

People asked you questions before, and then they became unbelievers.

French Translation:

Nous t'avons envoyé avec la vérité, annonciateur et avertisseur. Et tu ne seras pas interrogé sur les gens du Feu.

Breakdown:

- Nous (noo) - We

- t'avons (ta-vohn) - have sent (to you) - This is the past tense of the verb "envoyer" which means "to send."

- envoyé (ahn-vwa-yay) - sent - past participle of the verb "envoyer."

- avec (ah-vek) - with

- la (lah) - the - definite article, feminine singular

- vérité (vay-ri-tay) - truth - The feminine form is used because "vérité" is a feminine noun in French.

- annonciateur (ah-non-sya-tur) - announcer - This word describes someone who announces something.

- et (eh) - and

- avertisseur (ah-vair-ti-ser) - warner - This word describes someone who warns others.

- tu (ty) - you

- ne (nuh) - not - This is a negative particle in French.

- seras (suh-rah) - will be - This is the future tense of the verb "être" which means "to be".

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence structure is different from the English sentence structure. In French, the verb comes before the subject in negative sentences.

- The French verb "être" (to be) is used for passive sentences. In this case, "Tu seras interrogé" is a passive sentence, meaning that "you" will be the object of the verb "interroger".

- The preposition "sur" is used to indicate a topic or subject. In this case, "sur les gens du Feu" means "about the people of the Fire".

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the silent letters in French, such as the "e" at the end of most words.

- The "r" sound in French is different from the English "r" sound.

- The sound "u" in French is like the sound "oo" in English.

- "à" + noun: The preposition "à" (to, at) is used before a noun to indicate direction or location.

- "qu'il" + verb: The conjunction "qu'il" (that he) is used to introduce a subordinate clause.

- "sans" + noun: The preposition "sans" (without) is used to indicate a lack of something.

This sentence is an example of a common grammar structure in French. It uses a combination of conjunctions, prepositions, and verb forms to convey a complex idea.

Grammar Notes:

- "Pourquoi un ange ne lui est-il pas révélé ?" - This sentence uses an inversion, which is a common feature in French interrogative sentences. The verb "est" comes before the subject "lui" to create the question.

- "aurait été tranchée" - This is a conditional tense used to express an hypothetical situation.

- "n'auraient plus à attendre" - This is another example of the conditional tense.

- "L'affaire" - This is a feminine noun, so the article "la" is used before it.

Pronunciation Tips:

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence uses the past tense "Nous avons" (We have) in French. This is a common construction in French.

- "Prosternez-vous" is a reflexive verb. This means the subject of the verb (in this case, the Angels) is also the object of the verb. The reflexive pronoun "vous" (you, plural) is used to indicate this.

- "Iblis" is a proper noun and so it's not capitalized in French.

- "Qui" (who) is used here to introduce a relative clause.

Important Note: The French translation above is literal, so it might not be grammatically perfect in French. However, it captures the meaning of the original Arabic sentence.

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds."

French Translation:

Word-for-Word Explanation and Pronunciation:

- Ils (pronounced "eel") - They (masculine plural pronoun)

- dirent (pronounced "dee-rehn") - said (past tense of "dire" - to say)

- **: ** - colon (used to introduce direct speech)

- avons (pronounced "ah-vohn") - have (present perfect tense of "avoir" - to have)

- cru (pronounced "kree") - believed (past participle of "croire" - to believe)

- au (pronounced "oh") - to the (contraction of "à" and "le")

- Seigneur (pronounced "se-nyer") - Lord, Master

- des (pronounced "deh") - of the (plural definite article)

- mondes (pronounced "mohnd") - worlds

Grammar Notes:

- In French, verbs in the past tense often need to agree with the subject in number and gender. Here, "dirent" is in the masculine plural form because the subject is "ils" (they).

- "Nous avons cru" is a common way to express the present perfect tense in French, which is used to describe actions that happened in the past but have a connection to the present.

Pronunciation Tip:

- French pronunciation is often different from English pronunciation. Make sure to pay attention to the pronunciation guides provided above and practice saying the words out loud.

Et quand vous avez terminé la période sacrée, chassez. Que la haine d'un peuple pour vous avoir empêchés d'accéder à la Mosquée sacrée ne vous incite pas à transgresser.

- "Pour qu'ils puissent craindre" - This is a subordinate clause, which is dependent on the main clause "Cela est un rappel". It expresses purpose. The verb "puissent" (may) is the present subjunctive of the verb "pouvoir" (to be able to).

Pronunciation Tips:

- The French "r" is a slightly rolled sound.

- The French "u" is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon".

- perdants." (pehr-dahn) - losers

Grammar points:

- The french sentence uses the "subjunctive mood" after the verb "disent". This means that the sentence expresses an opinion or a possibility. In english, this would be translated with "that".

- The "subjunctive mood" is used after expressions like "il est nécessaire que" (it is necessary that), "il faut que" (it is necessary that), and "il est possible que" (it is possible that) - In this case, the original arabic sentence expresses a statement of certainty, so the subjunctive mood is not truly necessary in the french translation.

- The french sentence also uses the verb "être" (to be) in the past participle form "devenus". This is because the sentence is describing a state of being, not an action.

Pronunciation:

Pay attention to the pronunciation of the "u" sound in "eux" which is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon". Also, the french "s" sound is not pronounced like the english "s" but more like a "z" sound.

Tips:

- Try to practice the pronunciation of each word.

- Read the entire sentence aloud and pay attention to the rhythm and intonation.

- Try to break down the sentence into smaller parts, and translate each part separately.

- Don't be afraid to make mistakes! The most important thing is to keep practicing.

French Translation:

Alors, que dire quand nous amenons un témoin de chaque communauté et que nous t'amenons comme témoin contre ceux-ci ?

English Breakdown:

Alors - Then (pronounced: a-lor)

que dire - what to say (pronounced: kuh-deer)

quand - when (pronounced: kahn)

nous - we (pronounced: noo)

amenons - bring (pronounced: ah-muh-nong)

un témoin - a witness (pronounced: uh-n tay-mwan)

de chaque - of each (pronounced: duh-shak)

communauté - community (pronounced: koh-mu-noh-tay)

et - and (pronounced: eh)

que - that (pronounced: kuh)

nous - we (pronounced: noo)

t'amenons - bring you (pronounced: tah-muh-nong)

comme - as (pronounced: kom)

témoin - witness (pronounced: tay-mwan)

contre - against (pronounced: kon-truh)

ceux-ci - these (pronounced: suh-see)

Grammar Notes:

- Que dire is a common expression that literally means "what to say", but it is often used to express surprise or uncertainty.

- T'amenons is a contraction of "te amenons" which means "we bring you." The "t" comes from the "te" and is attached to the verb "amenons" for a more fluid pronunciation. This is an example of a common French grammar feature called liaison, where certain words are linked together in pronunciation.

- Ceux-ci means "these" and refers to the group of people mentioned in the previous part of the sentence.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the "u" sound in French. It is pronounced like the "oo" sound in "moon," not like the "u" sound in "but."

- The French "r" sound is different than the English "r" sound. It is produced by vibrating the back of the tongue against the roof of the mouth.

- Remember the silent "e" at the end of many French words. It is not pronounced, but it can affect the pronunciation of the preceding vowel.

By understanding the breakdown and pronunciation tips, you'll be able to pronounce and understand this sentence with more confidence. Remember to practice regularly to improve your French pronunciation and grammar!

Grammar:

- The sentence structure follows a simple pattern: subject, verb, object.

- "Descendance" is used as a singular noun in French, even though the original Arabic is plural. This is a common grammatical shift in translation.

- "Certains d'entre eux" is a phrase that refers to a subset of a group, often used in place of a plural pronoun.

Pronunciation:

- Pay attention to the nasal sounds like "en" in "descendance" and "entre eux"

- The "d" sound in "descendants" and "des autres" is often silent in French.

- The "s" in "est" and "des" is pronounced only when followed by a vowel sound.

- Omniscient is a word borrowed from Latin and retains its original pronunciation.

- "Je vous annonce" is the subject-verb agreement in the first part of the sentence. The pronoun "je" (I) is the subject, and the verb "annonce" (announce) is conjugated in the first person singular present tense.

- The pronoun "vous" (you) is the indirect object of the verb "annoncer". The pronoun "vous" can be either singular or plural.

- The second part of the sentence uses the present tense of the verb "être" with the adjective "sincère" (sincere).

- The phrase "un conseiller" (an advisor) is a noun phrase that acts as the complement of the verb "être" in the second part of the sentence.

- The French language emphasizes the importance of subject-verb agreement, where the verb must agree in number and person with its subject. For example, the pronoun "je" (I) takes the verb "annonce" in the first person singular present tense.

French Translation:

Word-by-Word Explanation:

- Dis: Dis (pronounced: dee), this is the imperative form of the verb dire (to say) which is used for commands.

- "Rien ne nous atteindra": Rien (pronounced: ree-en) means "nothing", ne (pronounced: nuh) is a negative particle and nous (pronounced: noo) means "us". atteindra (pronounced: ah-ten-dra) is the future tense of the verb atteindre (to reach) which means "will reach".

- sinon ce qu'Allah a décrété": sinon (pronounced: see-non) means "except", ce (pronounced: suh) means "that" and qu'Allah (pronounced: koo-lah) means "what Allah". a décrété (pronounced: ah day-kray-tay) is the past participle of the verb décréter (to decree) which means "has decreed".

In this case, the subjunctive mood is used to express the necessity of believers putting their trust in Allah.

Example: Il est important que les croyants mettent leur confiance en Allah (It is important that the believers put their trust in Allah).

Grammar Note: In French, the noun "actions" is feminine, hence why it is used with the feminine article "des".

Pronunciation Note: The French "r" is pronounced differently than the English "r". It is a softer sound, almost like a rasping "h" sound. Also, the letter "e" at the end of a word is usually silent in French.

French Translation:

Ils se réjouissent d'une grâce d'Allah et d'une faveur, et qu'Allah ne perd pas la récompense des croyants.

English Breakdown and Pronunciation:

- Ils - They (pronounced: eel)

- se réjouissent - rejoice (pronounced: se zhuh-wee-say) - This is a reflexive verb, meaning the action is done to oneself. The "se" is the reflexive pronoun, and the verb "réjouir" is conjugated to agree with the subject "ils."

- d'une - of a (pronounced: doo-nuh)

- grâce - grace, favor (pronounced: grahs)

- d'Allah - of Allah (pronounced: da-lah)

- et - and (pronounced: ay)

- d'une - of a (pronounced: doo-nuh)

- faveur - favor (pronounced: fa-veur)

- et - and (pronounced: ay)

- que - that (pronounced: kuh)

- Allah - Allah (pronounced: da-lah)

- ne perd pas - does not lose (pronounced: nuh per pah)

- la - the (pronounced: lah)

- récompense - reward (pronounced: ray-kom-pahns)

- des - of the (pronounced: day)

- croyants - believers (pronounced: krwa-yah)

Grammar Notes:

- Reflexive Verbs: Many verbs in French are reflexive, meaning the action of the verb is done to the subject itself. These verbs always use a reflexive pronoun (se, te, me, etc.) in front of the conjugated verb.

- "Que": The word "que" is used to introduce a subordinate clause. In this case, it introduces the clause "Allah ne perd pas la récompense des croyants," which explains the reason for their joy.

This is a simple and grammatically correct translation of the Arabic sentence, with a focus on clarity and natural French.

French Translation:

Et si Nous faisons goûter à l’homme de Notre part de la miséricorde, puis que Nous la lui retirons, il est certes désespéré et ingrat.

Word for word explanation:

- Et si (ay see) - And if

- Nous faisons goûter (noo fah-son goo-tay) - We make taste

- à l’homme (ah lom) - To the man/human

- de Notre part (duh no-truh par) - Of Our part

- de la miséricorde (duh lah mee-zay-ree-kord) - Of mercy

- puis que (pwee kuh) - Then that

- Nous la lui retirons (noo lah lwee ruh-tee-ron) - We it to him take away

- il est certes (eel eh sair-tay) - He is certainly

- désespéré (day-zes-peh-ray) - Desperate

- et ingrat (ay in-grah) - And ungrateful

Grammar Notes:

- "Nous faisons goûter" is the present tense, plural form of the verb "faire goûter" (to make taste). This is a verb that requires an indirect object (à l’homme) and a direct object (de la miséricorde).

- "Nous la lui retirons" is also in the present tense, plural form of the verb "retirer" (to take away). Here, "la" refers to "la miséricorde" and "lui" refers to "l’homme".

- "Il est certes" is a common way to emphasize a statement in French. The word "certes" (certainly) is often used to add emphasis and certainty.

Pronunciation Tips:

- The "e" in "Nous" and "est" is silent.

- The "s" at the end of "Nous" and "certes" is silent.

- The "r" in "miséricorde" is pronounced with a slight trill.

- The "g" in "ingrat" is silent.

Note: This translation is a literal translation of the Arabic sentence. The meaning can be interpreted more freely as "If We grant mercy to a person and then take it away, he will become desperate and ungrateful."

French Translation:

En vérité, les hypocrites trompent Dieu et Il les trompe. Et lorsqu’ils se lèvent pour la prière, ils se lèvent avec paresse, cherchant à être vus des hommes et ne se souvenant de Dieu que peu.

Word for word explanation:

En vérité, les hypocrites trompent Dieu et Il les trompe.

- En vérité (on vray-tee) - This phrase emphasizes the truth of the following statement. It literally translates to "in truth"

- les hypocrites (lay zee-po-krit) - This refers to those who pretend to be something they are not, specifically in relation to their faith.

- trompent (trômp) - This is the present tense of the verb "tromper" (to deceive).

- Dieu (Dyeh) - This is the French word for God.

- et Il les trompe (ay eel lay trômp) - This clause means "and He deceives them". Notice the use of the pronoun "Il" (He) to refer to God.

Et lorsqu’ils se lèvent pour la prière, ils se lèvent avec paresse, cherchant à être vus des hommes et ne se souvenant de Dieu que peu.

- Et (ay) - This is a conjunction meaning "and".

- lorsqu'ils (lor-key) - This is a conjunction meaning "when they" - it introduces a subordinate clause.

- se lèvent (su lèv) - This is the present tense of the reflexive verb "se lever" (to get up, to rise). Reflexive verbs are used when the subject of the verb is also the object.

- pour la prière (poor la pri-yair) - This means "for the prayer". "Prière" (prayer) is a feminine noun.

- ils se lèvent avec paresse (eel su lèv avèk pa-rês) - This means "they get up with laziness". "Paresse" (laziness) is a feminine noun.

- cherchant à être vus des hommes (sher-shon a ê-tr vu day zom) - This means "seeking to be seen by men". "Chercher" (to seek) is an infinitive verb. The infinitive is used after "à" (to) in this case.

- et ne se souvenant de Dieu que peu (ay nu su soo-vnan duh Dyeh ku pu) - This means "and not remembering God but little". "Se souvenir" (to remember) is a reflexive verb. "Que peu" means "only a little".

Grammar Notes:

- French verbs are conjugated based on the subject of the verb. In this case, the subject is "les hypocrites" (they).

- French uses definite articles ("le", "la", "les") before nouns.

- French uses the preposition "à" (to) before the infinitive verb.

- The reflexive pronoun "se" is used to emphasize the subject of the verb also being the object.

- French uses a lot of conjunctions to connect clauses.

This is a complex sentence but breaking it down into smaller phrases makes it easier to understand. This can be a useful strategy for understanding any French sentence.

French Translation:

Lorsque ton Seigneur inspire aux anges : "Je suis avec vous, affermissez donc ceux qui ont cru. Je vais jeter la terreur dans les cœurs de ceux qui ont mécru. Frappez-les au-dessus des cous et frappez-les à tous les doigts".

Grammar Rules:

- In French, the verb "to be" is often omitted in the present tense when the subject is clear. For example, "He is kind" can be translated as "Il est gentil" but it can also be translated as "Il gentil".

- The French use "le" (the) before masculine nouns and "la" (the) before feminine nouns. This is similar to using "the" in English, however, in French the articles are required whereas in English they are often omitted.

- In French, adjectives usually follow the noun they describe. The opposite is true in English.

- French uses a definite article before a noun that is already understood. For example, "the Lord" would be translated as "le Seigneur."

- The French use the future tense for actions that will occur in the future. The future tense in French is formed by adding "-ai", "-as", "-a", "-ons", "-ez", "-ont" to the infinitive verb.

This explanation can help you understand the French translation and begin to grasp the structure of the language. Don't be afraid to practice and ask questions.

French Translation:

Mais ils ont démenti ce qu'ils ne comprenaient pas et dont l'explication ne leur est pas encore parvenue. Ainsi ont démenti ceux qui les ont précédés. Regarde donc quelle a été la fin des injustes.

Word for Word Breakdown:

- Mais: But (pronounced: May)

- ils: they (pronounced: eel)

- ont démenti: have denied (pronounced: ohn deh-man-tee) - This is the passé composé tense in French, formed by the auxiliary verb avoir (to have) conjugated in the past tense + the past participle of the verb démentir (to deny)

- ce qu'ils ne comprenaient pas: what they did not understand (pronounced: seh keel ne kom-pre-nay pah) - This is a relative clause, and "ne...pas" is the negation.

- et dont l'explication: and whose explanation (pronounced: eh don lex-pli-ka-syon) - "dont" is a relative pronoun meaning "of whom" or "whose".

- ne leur est pas encore parvenue: has not yet reached them (pronounced: neh lur eh pah an-kor par-ve-nu) - This is a passive construction. The past participle "parvenue" agrees in gender and number with the direct object "l'explication".

- Ainsi: Thus (pronounced: an-see)

- ont démenti: have denied (pronounced: ohn deh-man-tee)

- ceux qui les ont précédés: those who preceded them (pronounced: seuh kee lay ohn pre-say-day) - This is a relative clause.

- Regarde donc: Look then (pronounced: re-gard donk) - This is an imperative verb. "donc" is used to emphasize the request.

- quelle a été la fin: what was the end (pronounced: kel ah eh-tay la fan) - "quelle" is an interrogative adjective, and "la fin" is the noun.

- des injustes: of the unjust (pronounced: day zhan-just)

Grammar Notes:

- The past participle "démenti" agrees in gender and number with the subject "ils".

- The relative pronouns "qu'" and "dont" are used to introduce relative clauses.

- The passive construction "ne leur est pas encore parvenue" uses the auxiliary verb "être" (to be) in the past tense.

- The adverb "donc" is used to emphasize a statement or a request.

Pronunciation Tips:

- French vowels are generally pronounced differently than English vowels. For example, "a" in "pas" is pronounced like "ah" in "father".

- The "r" sound is a rolling sound in French, similar to a Spanish "r".

- The "u" sound is pronounced like "oo" in "moon".

- Pay attention to the stress in each word. The stress is usually on the last syllable if the word ends in a consonant, or on the second to last syllable if the word ends in a vowel.

- Croient-ils (Krwɑ̃-ti) - Do they believe

- donc (dɔ̃k) - therefore

- la - the (definite article, feminine singular)

- ruse - trick/deceit (noun, feminine)

- d'Allah - of Allah (possessive adjective, indicating belonging to Allah)

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence is a question. In French, questions are formed by inverting the subject and verb. "Croient-ils" is the inverted form of "ils croient" (they believe).

- The sentence also uses a negative construction with "ne" and "pas" to indicate that the losing people do not fear the trickery of Allah.

Pronunciation Tips:

- "vous" is pronounced like voo, with the "ou" making a sound similar to oo in food.

Ils t'interrogent sur les lunaisons: They (pronounced eel) ask (pronounced ent-er-ohg) you (pronounced too) about (pronounced soor) the lunar months (pronounced lay loo-nay-sohn).

Grammar Rules:

- Subject-verb agreement: The verb must agree with the subject in number and person. For example, "Ils t'interrogent" (they ask you) uses the plural form of the verb "interroger" because the subject is "ils" (they), which is plural.

- Prepositions: Prepositions like "sur" (on, about), "dans" (in), and "par" (by) are essential for indicating location, time, and manner.

Important Note: This is a very literal translation. You can make the French more natural and idiomatic by using more common expressions and slightly changing the word order. For example, instead of "Ils t'interrogent sur les lunaisons," you could say "On te pose des questions sur les lunaisons."

- "Ce que": This phrase is used to introduce a noun clause. In this instance, "ce que les matrices des femelles contiennent" means "what the wombs of the females contain."

- "Informez-moi": This is the imperative form of the verb "informer" (to inform). The pronoun "moi" (me) is placed after the verb.

- "Êtes véridiques": This is the conjugation of the verb "être" (to be) in the present tense, in the plural form, with the adjective "véridique" (truthful).

- Relative Pronouns: "Qui" (who/that) is a relative pronoun, used to introduce a relative clause.

- Pronoun Agreement: In French, pronouns must agree with the gender and number of the noun they refer to (e.g., "nous," "vous," "il," "elle").

- Direct and Indirect Quotes: French uses colons (:) to introduce direct quotes and uses quotation marks (") for the quoted words.

- Past Participle Agreement: The past participle of verbs like "croire" (to believe) agrees with the subject in gender and number when used with "avoir" (to have) in compound tenses (e.g., "ont cru").

- Adjective Agreement: Adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For example, "Grand" (great) agrees with "Accueillant" (welcoming).

This sentence is a beautiful example of how the French language uses a combination of articles, prepositions, and verb conjugations to create a clear and elegant structure.

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the past tense throughout.

- The pronoun "Nous" (we) is used frequently in this sentence to emphasize the divine action.

- The phrase "en avons fait des successeurs" (made them successors) is a bit tricky. "en" here is an "enclitic" pronoun, meaning it is attached to the preceding verb and refers to "l'arche" (the ark).

- The last sentence is a question, but the question mark is not necessary in French.

English Translation:

They treated him as a liar, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ark, and We made them successors, and We drowned those who denied Our signs. Therefore, see how the end of the warners was.

- The order of words in French can be more flexible than in English. However, there are some general rules to follow. For example, the subject usually comes before the verb in a declarative sentence.

- French uses a lot of prepositions. These are words that indicate a relationship between two words or phrases. For example, the preposition "à" (to) is used to indicate the direction of an action.

Pronunciation Assistance:

French pronunciation can be tricky for English speakers. Here are some pointers for this sentence:

- "r" sound: The French "r" is often a softer sound than the English "r", more of a guttural rasp than a trilled sound. Practice this sound!

- Nasal vowels: The "n" in "on" and "en" is often pronounced through the nose, not with the tip of the tongue. This creates a soft, nasal sound.

- Silent letters: French often has silent letters, like the "e" at the end of words. It's important to pay attention to which letters are pronounced and which are not.

Remember to practice the pronunciation and listen to native French speakers to develop your accent. Good luck!

Word for Word Breakdown:

En vérité (on vray-tay) - This translates to "in truth" or "truly".

la religion (la re-li-jyon) - This is the word for "religion".

est l'Islam (eh l'is-lam) - "Est" is "is" and "l'Islam" is the word for "Islam".

Et ceux à qui le Livre a été donné (eh so eh-kee lu livr a ay-tay do-nay) - This phrase refers to people of other monotheistic religions who received holy scriptures.

ne sont entrés en divergence (nu son on-tray on di-ver-gons) - This translates to "have not entered into disagreement".

- "Auprès d'Allah" is a prepositional phrase that indicates the place or the person to whom something is related.

- "Quiconque mécroit aux versets d'Allah" is a relative clause that describes whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah.

- "Alors Allah est prompt au châtiment" is a conditional sentence that indicates the consequence of disbelief.

Pronunciation Note: The French language uses nasal sounds that can be difficult for English speakers. The nasal sound "on" as in "on vray-tay" is produced by releasing air through the nose. Similarly, the nasal sound "en" as in "ne sont entrés en divergence" is pronounced by releasing air through the nose.

French Translation:

En vérité, ceux qui ont mécru, s’ils avaient tout ce qui est sur la terre et son équivalent pour s’en racheter du châtiment du Jour du Jugement, cela ne leur serait pas accepté. Et ils auront un châtiment douloureux.

Word-for-Word Explanation and Pronunciation:

- En vérité (On vray-tee) - This is a phrase used to emphasize a statement, like "truly" or "indeed".

- ceux qui ont mécru (suh keh ohn muh-kroo) - This translates to "those who have disbelieved" or "those who have rejected the faith". "Ceux" (plural masculine pronoun) means "those", "qui" (relative pronoun) is "who", and "ont mécru" is the past participle of "mécroire" (to disbelieve).

- s'ils avaient (seel za-veh) - This means "if they had" and is a conditional clause. "S'ils" is the contraction of "si" (if) and "ils" (they).

- tout ce qui est sur la terre (too seh kee eh sur la ter) - This means "everything that is on earth". "Tout" means "everything", "ce qui" (what) is the subject of the verb "est", "sur" means "on", and "la terre" means "the earth".

- et son équivalent (eh sohn eh-kee-vah-lahn) - This means "and its equivalent". "Son" is the masculine possessive adjective for "its", and "équivalent" means "equivalent".

- pour s’en racheter (poor sahn ra-shuh-tay) - This means "to redeem themselves". "Pour" means "to", "s'en" is a reflexive pronoun, and "racheter" means "to redeem".

- du châtiment (du sha-tee-mahn) - This means "of the punishment". "Du" is the masculine definite article for "of" and "châtiment" means "punishment".

- du Jour du Jugement (du joor du zhu-j-mahn) - This means "of the Day of Judgement". "Du" is the masculine definite article for "of", "Jour" means "day", "du" is the masculine definite article for "of", and "Jugement" means "judgment".

- cela ne leur serait pas accepté (suh-la nuh luhr seh-reh pa ak-sep-tay) - This means "it would not be accepted from them". "Cela" means "it", "ne" is a negation, "leur" is the masculine plural pronoun for "them", "serait" is the conditional form of the verb "être" (to be), "pas" means "not", and "accepté" is the past participle of "accepter" (to accept).

- Et ils auront (eh eel oh-ron) - This means "and they will have". "Et" means "and", "ils" is the masculine plural pronoun for "they", and "auront" is the future tense of the verb "avoir" (to have).

- un châtiment douloureux (uhn sha-tee-mahn doo-loo-ruh) - This means "a painful punishment". "Un" is the masculine singular indefinite article for "a", "châtiment" means "punishment", and "douloureux" means "painful".

Grammar Note: The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the phrase "cela ne leur serait pas accepté". The subjunctive mood is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain situation. In this case, it is used to emphasize the impossibility of the disbelievers redeeming themselves.

English Translation:

Say, "If your fathers and your children and your brothers and your wives and your clan and wealth you have acquired and commerce you fear its decline, and dwellings you appreciate are more dear to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His way, then wait until Allah brings His order. And Allah does not guide the disobedient people."

Grammar Notes:

- "Des" (de) is a plural definite article, meaning "the." It's used because "messagers" is plural.

- "ont été rabaissés" is the past participle of the verb "rabaisser," meaning to mock or to humiliate. It's in the passive voice, which means the action is done to the subject ("messagers") rather than by them.

- "à ceux" is a prepositional phrase meaning "to those."

- "se sont moqués" is the reflexive past participle of the verb "se moquer," which means to mock or make fun of.

- "conformément à" means "in accordance with" or "in conformity with."

- "ce dont ils se moquaient" is a relative clause, meaning it provides more information about the noun it modifies ("ce"). It translates to "what they were mocking."

- "En" (ən) is pronounced like "on" in "on" and "off".

- "Vérité" (veʁite) is pronounced with a silent "e" at the end, like "ve-ri-tay."

- The sentence also uses the passive voice in the phrase "il lui est réservé". This emphasizes that the person who opposes God and his messenger is destined for hell.

English Translation:

Don't they know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, indeed, for him is the fire of Hell, wherein he will abide eternally? That is a great disgrace.

French Translation

Aujourd'hui (o-jour-dwee) vous sont permises (voo-sah per-mee) les bonnes choses (lay bon shos) ; et la nourriture de ceux à qui le Livre a été donné est permise pour vous (ay la noo-ree-toor duh so ah kee luh leevr ah ay-tay do-nay ay per-mee poor voo) ; et votre nourriture est permise pour eux (ay vo-tre noo-ree-toor ay per-mee poor oo) ; et les femmes vertueuses parmi les croyantes et les femmes vertueuses parmi ceux à qui le Livre a été donné avant vous, si vous leur donnez leurs dot (ay lay fam ver-too-ez par-mee lay krwa-yont ay lay fam ver-too-ez par-mee so ah kee luh leevr ah ay-tay do-nay ah-von voo see voo lur do-nay lur dot) (en les épousant) (on lay ze-poo-zon) honorablement, sans fornication, ni en prenant des amantes (o-no-ra-ble-mon san for-ni-ka-syon nee on pran-don day za-mont) ; et celui qui mécroit en la foi, son œuvre est vaine, et il sera parmi les perdants dans l’au-delà (ay suh-loo-ee kee may-krwa on la fwa son oo-vray ay ven ay ee-lay ser-rah par-mee lay per-don on lo-de-lah).

English Breakdown

1. Aujourd'hui (Today) : This indicates the day the verse was revealed and the beginning of a new rule/law.

2. vous sont permises (are permitted to you) : This is the passive voice of the verb "permettre" (to permit). The subject is the "good things" which are being permitted.

3. les bonnes choses (the good things) : This refers to all the good things that are now allowed to Muslims, including food, drink, and other aspects of life.

4. ; et la nourriture de ceux à qui le Livre a été donné est permise pour vous (and the food of those to whom the Book was given is permitted for you) : This refers to the food of people of the book (Jews and Christians) and that this food is now allowed for Muslims.

5. ; et votre nourriture est permise pour eux (and your food is permitted for them) : This refers to the food of Muslims and that it is allowed for people of the book to eat.

6. ; et les femmes vertueuses parmi les croyantes et les femmes vertueuses parmi ceux à qui le Livre a été donné avant vous, si vous leur donnez leurs dot (and the virtuous women among the believers and the virtuous women among those to whom the Book was given before you, if you give them their dowries): This refers to marriage. It is now allowed for Muslims to marry women from other faiths, specifically those who have received the book before them.

7. (en les épousant) (by marrying them): This is a parenthetical phrase further clarifying what is meant by "giving them their dowries" - it refers to marriage.

8. honorablement, sans fornication, ni en prenant des amantes (honorably, without fornication, nor taking mistresses): This describes how Muslim men should marry women from other faiths. It stresses that it must be done with honor, respect, and without any form of sexual immorality.

9. ; et celui qui mécroit en la foi, son œuvre est vaine, et il sera parmi les perdants dans l’au-delà (and whoever disbelieves in the faith, his work is in vain, and he will be among the losers in the hereafter). This is a warning that those who reject the faith will not benefit from their actions and will face punishment in the afterlife.

Grammar Points

- The sentence uses the passive voice in the first part “vous sont permises” (are permitted to you) to highlight the object of the action, which are the "good things" in this case.

- The use of the conditional “si vous leur donnez leurs dot” (if you give them their dowries) emphasizes the condition for the marriage to be permissible.

Pronunciation Tips

- Aujourd'hui (o-jour-dwee) - The "j" sound is pronounced like the English "zh" in "vision."

- permises (per-mee) - The "s" at the end is silent.

- nourriture (noo-ree-toor) - The "ou" sounds like "oo" in "food."

- honorablement (o-no-ra-ble-mon) - The "e" at the end is silent.

- fornication (for-ni-ka-syon) - This is a French loanword and is pronounced similarly to the English word.

- amantes (a-mont) - The "s" at the end is silent.

This breakdown of the translation and the grammar points should give you a good understanding of the Arabic sentence.

French Translation:

N'ont-ils pas réfléchi ? Il n'y a pas de folie chez leur compagnon. Il n'est que un avertisseur clair. (Non-t-ils pas réfléchi ? Il n'y a pas de folie chez leur compagnon. Il n'est que un avertisseur clair.)

Word-for-word Explanation:

- N'ont-ils pas réfléchi ? (No-t-ils pas réfléchi ?) - This is a rhetorical question asking "Have they not thought?". The "ont-ils" is the third person plural of the verb "avoir" (to have). "Réfléchi" is the past participle of the verb "réfléchir" (to reflect). It is used here to mean "thought".

- Il n'y a pas de folie (il n'y a pas de folie) - "There is no madness". "Il" is the third person singular pronoun for "he", and "y" means "there". "Folie" is the feminine noun for "madness".

- chez leur compagnon (chez leur compagnon) - "in their companion". "Chez" means "at the place of" or "with" (especially for a person), "leur" is the possessive adjective for "their" and "compagnon" means "companion".

- Il n'est que un avertisseur clair (il n'est que un avertisseur clair) - "He is only a clear warner". "Clair" means "clear" and "avertisseur" means "warner".

Pronunciation Assistance:

- N'ont-ils pas réfléchi ? (Nohn-teel pa ree-fle-shee ?)

- Il n'y a pas de folie (eel nee-ya pa de fo-lee)

- chez leur compagnon (sheh leur kom-pa-nyon)

- Il n'est que un avertisseur clair (eel neh keh un ah-veh-ti-seur kleh)

Grammar Notes:

- Negation: The French negation is formed with "ne" and "pas" surrounding the verb, like in "n'ont-ils pas".

- Past Participle: The past participle of verbs can be used to form different tenses, including the perfect tense (as in "ont réfléchi").

- "Y" in "Il n'y a": The pronoun "y" is often used in French for "there" and can be translated as "there is/are" as in "Il n'y a pas de folie".

French Translation:

“En vérité, les hypocrites sont dans le plus bas degré de l’enfer, et tu ne trouveras jamais pour eux un protecteur.”

Breakdown:

- En vérité (on vray-tee) - This is a phrase that emphasizes the truth of the statement. It is similar to the English phrase "truly" or "indeed".

- les hypocrites (lay zee-po-kreet) - "hypocrites" This is a noun referring to people who pretend to be something they are not.

- sont (sont) - "are" This is the verb "to be" in the present tense, third person plural form.

- dans (dahn) - "in" This is a preposition indicating location.

- le plus bas degré (luh pluh bah deh-gray) - "the lowest degree" This is a noun phrase meaning "the lowest level" or "the bottom".

- de l’enfer (duh lan-fair) - "of hell" This is a noun phrase meaning "of the hell" or "of the inferno".

- et (ay) - "and" This is a conjunction used to connect two clauses together.

- tu ne trouveras jamais (tu nuh troo-vrah zha-may) - "you will never find" This is a verb phrase meaning "you will never discover". "tu" is "you" in the informal singular form. The future tense of the verb trouver is trouveras (pronounced troo-vrah), but the "s" drops off when the word "ne" is present.

- pour eux (poor uh) - "for them" This is a prepositional phrase meaning "for them" or "on their behalf".

- un protecteur (uhn pro-tek-tur) - "a protector" This is a noun meaning someone who defends or protects.

Grammar Rules:

- The definite article "le" changes to "l'" before a word beginning with a vowel sound. In this sentence, "le plus bas degré" becomes "l'enfer".

- The future tense in French is formed by adding the appropriate ending to the infinitive of the verb. In this case, the infinitive is "trouver" and the future tense ending for the "tu" form is "-as".

- The negative "ne" is placed before the verb and "pas" is placed after the verb. The "pas" is omitted when the verb is "être" (to be) and the pronoun is je (I), tu (you - informal), or on (one, we - informal).

Pronunciation Assistance:

- "é" is pronounced like the "ay" in "day"

- "è" is pronounced like the "eh" in "bed"

- "ê" is pronounced like the "ay" in "day"

- "eu" is pronounced like the "u" in "fur"

- "u" is pronounced like the "oo" in "food"

- "o" is pronounced like the "o" in "go"

- "ai" is pronounced like the "ay" in "day"

- "oi" is pronounced like the "wa" in "want"

- "an" is pronounced like the "ahn" in "aunt"

- "on" is pronounced like the "ohn" in "on"

- "in" is pronounced like the "an" in "man"

- "un" is pronounced like the "uhn" in "sun"

- "en" is pronounced like the "on" in "son"

English Translation:

"Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depth of hell, and you will never find anyone to defend them."

Grammar Rules:

- **The use of the verb "avoir" (to have) is essential in French. It is used for a wide range of purposes, including expressing possession, forming compound tenses, and describing states of being. For example, "Nous avons perdu" (we have lost) uses "avoir" to express the state of having lost something. It is also used to make the past participle and is often used to express the idea of "to have" as in "He has a car."

- **French uses gender agreement for nouns and adjectives. This means that an adjective must agree with the gender of the noun it modifies. For example, in the sentence "Ils porteront leurs fardeaux sur leurs dos" (they will carry their burdens on their backs), the adjective "leurs" (their) agrees in gender with the nouns "fardeaux" (burdens) and "dos" (backs).

- **In French, pronouns are very important for maintaining clarity and understanding the roles of different entities in a sentence. For example, "Ils" (they) refers to the people who have denied God, while "eux" (them) refers to the same people but in a different grammatical context. Pronouns are used to avoid repetition of nouns.

- **In French, prepositions such as "à" (to), "sur" (on), and "avec" (with) are used to indicate relationships between words. They are essential for understanding the meaning of a sentence and are often used to indicate direction, location, or accompaniment.

- Direct Object Pronoun: The direct object pronoun "vous" (you) is placed before the verb "délivre" (to deliver). In this sentence, the direct object pronoun is placed before the verb because it is the direct object of the verb.

- Pronoun Agreement: In this sentence, the pronouns "vous" (you) and "vous" (you) are used to maintain agreement with the subject of the verb, which is "Allah." Pronoun agreement is an essential part of French grammar.

This sentence is a direct quote from the Quran, which is considered to be the holy book of Islam. The sentence is a reminder that Allah is the only God and that He is the one who delivers people from harm. It is also a warning against associating other deities with Allah.

Grammar Notes:

- The phrase "après qu'ils les ont prononcés" uses the past participle of the verb "prononcer" (to pronounce).

- The phrase "Dieu ne guide pas les gens désobéissants" uses the negative form of the verb "guider" (to guide).

English Translation:

That is easier for them to come with their testimony openly, or to fear that their oaths will be rejected after they have made them. And fear God, and listen! And God does not guide the disobedient people.

Those who remained behind rejoiced in their position, contrary to the Messenger of God (peace be upon him). They disliked fighting with their wealth and themselves in the way of God.

- seulement - only

Grammar Rules:

- The French language uses gendered nouns and adjectives, so the noun "position" is feminine and the adjective "contraire" has to agree with it in gender.

- The verb "se réjouir" is reflexive and needs a reflexive pronoun "se" before it, which changes slightly based on the subject pronoun.

- The French language uses different verb tenses, so the verb "détester" needs to be in the past tense since the sentence is talking about a past event.

- French sentences are typically constructed in Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- contrairement - kon-trɛʁ-mɑ̃

- détestaient - de-te-ste

- The "u" sound in "vous" and "tu" is more like the "oo" sound in "moon."

- The "e" at the end of words is usually silent unless it is followed by a vowel.

- Pay attention to the accent marks! They change the pronunciation of the vowels.

- "eux-mêmes" means "themselves" and is used to emphasize that they are not able to help anyone, including themselves.

- (Ils ne peuvent se secourir) is a parenthetical statement, which is a statement that is added to give extra information but is not grammatically necessary. The parenthesis is not actually used in French, it is used here for clarity.

Et ils dirent : « Ce qui est dans le ventre de ces bêtes est réservé à nos hommes, et interdit à nos femmes. Et s’il s’agit d’une bête morte, ils en sont tous partenaires. » Bientôt, il les récompensera de leur description. En vérité, Il est Sage et Omniscient.

- est réservé à nos hommes: is reserved for our men: (pronunciation: eh ray-zer-vay ah noh zohm) Réservé means "reserved" and à nos hommes means "for our men". It indicates the men have exclusive rights to the contents of the animal's stomach.

- et interdit à nos femmes: and forbidden to our women: (pronunciation: eh en-ter-dee ah noh fam) Interdit means "forbidden" and à nos femmes means "to our women". This phrase emphasizes the restrictions imposed on women.

- Et s’il s’agit d’une bête morte: And if it is a dead animal: (pronunciation: eh see-lee see-zah-jee d'une bet mort) Si means "if" and s'agit means "is". Bête morte means "dead animal". This is the hypothetical scenario where the animal is dead.

Grammar Notes:

- Gender agreement: In French, adjectives must agree in gender with the noun they describe. For example, bêtes (animals) is feminine, so we use réservé (reserved) and interdit (forbidden) in their feminine forms.

- Verb conjugation: The verb dire (to say) is conjugated in the past tense, dirent. The verb être (to be) is conjugated in the conditional tense, s'agit. These conjugations are important to accurately convey the meaning of the sentence.

Pronunciation Tips:

- The "e" at the end of words is often silent.

- The "s" at the end of a word is pronounced if the next word starts with a vowel.

- The "u" in "leur" is silent.

- The "g" in "égaré" is silent.

The leaders who disbelieved among his people said, "We see you in folly, and indeed we think you are among the liars."

French Translation:

Les chefs qui ont mécru parmi son peuple ont dit : « Nous te voyons dans la folie, et en vérité nous pensons que tu es parmi les menteurs. »

Breakdown:

- Les chefs (pronounced: lay shay) - The leaders

- qui ont mécru (pronounced: kee ohn may-kroo) - who disbelieved. The verb mécru (pronounced: may-kroo) is the past participle of the verb mécroire (pronounced: may-krwar) which means to disbelieve. We are using the past participle here with the auxiliary verb avoir (pronounced: ah-vwar) to form the past perfect tense.

- parmi (pronounced: par-mee) - among.

- son peuple (pronounced: sohn pohp-l) - his people

- ont dit (pronounced: ohn dee) - said. This is the past tense of the verb dire (pronounced: deer) which means to say.

- Nous te voyons (pronounced: noo te vwah-yohn) - We see you. Nous (pronounced: noo) is the first-person plural pronoun meaning we, te (pronounced: te) is the second-person singular object pronoun meaning you, and voyons (pronounced: vwah-yohn) is the present tense of the verb voir (pronounced: vwar) which means to see.

- dans la folie (pronounced: dahn lah fo-lee) - in folly. Dans (pronounced: dahn) means in and folie (pronounced: fo-lee) means folly.

- et en vérité (pronounced: eh ahn ve-ree-tay) - and indeed. En vérité (pronounced: ahn ve-ree-tay) literally translates to "in truth".

- nous pensons (pronounced: noo pahn-sohn) - we think. Pensons (pronounced: pahn-sohn) is the present tense of the verb penser (pronounced: pahnsay) which means to think.

- que tu es (pronounced: kuh too eh) - that you are. Que (pronounced: kuh) is a conjunction meaning that, tu (pronounced: too) is the second-person singular subject pronoun meaning you, and es (pronounced: eh) is the present tense of the verb être (pronounced: eht-r) which means to be.

- parmi les menteurs (pronounced: par-mee lay mahn-tur) - among the liars. Parmi (pronounced: par-mee) means among and les menteurs (pronounced: lay mahn-tur) means the liars.

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence structure is subject-verb-object. This is the most common sentence structure in French.

- The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past.

- The present tense is used to describe actions that are happening now or that happen regularly.

- The conjunction que (pronounced: kuh) is used to introduce a subordinate clause. A subordinate clause is a clause that depends on another clause for its meaning. In this case, the subordinate clause is "que tu es parmi les menteurs" (that you are among the liars).

- The word order in the sentence is important. The subject, Les chefs (pronounced: lay shay), comes at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the verb ont dit (pronounced: ohn dee), followed by the object "Nous te voyons dans la folie, et en vérité nous pensons que tu es parmi les menteurs" (We see you in folly, and indeed we think you are among the liars.).

Pronunciation Tips:

- The "e" at the end of a word is usually silent. For example, the word les (pronounced: lay) is pronounced with the "e" at the end being silent.

- The letter "s" at the end of a word is usually pronounced only if the next word starts with a vowel sound. For example, the word chefs (pronounced: shay) is pronounced with the "s" at the end being silent because the next word, qui (pronounced: kee), starts with a vowel sound.

- The letter "u" is usually pronounced as a vowel sound, but it can also be silent depending on the word. For example, the word tu (pronounced: too) is pronounced with the "u" being a vowel sound, but the word vous (pronounced: voo) is pronounced with the "u" being silent.

- The "r" at the end of a word is usually pronounced, but it can also be silent depending on the word. For example, the word parmi (pronounced: par-mee) is pronounced with the "r" being silent because it is followed by a consonant sound.

- The accent mark on the letter "é" is pronounced as a long "e" sound. For example, the word vérité (pronounced: ve-ree-tay) is pronounced with the "é" being pronounced as a long "e" sound.

- The "on" at the end of a word is usually pronounced as a long "o" sound. For example, the word pensons (pronounced: pahn-sohn) is pronounced with the "on" being pronounced as a long "o" sound.

This is just a brief introduction to the pronunciation of French words. You will learn more about pronunciation as you continue to learn the language.

Pronunciation Tips:

- The "l'" before "empêcher" is a contraction of "le" (the) and "a" (to).

English Translation:

What you have been promised will surely come, and you cannot prevent it.

English Translation:

En vérité - Indeed (pronounced: ahn ve-ri-teh)

Tu ne manques pas à Ta promesse - You do not break Your promise (pronounced: too nuh mahnk pah ah tah pro-mes)

Grammar Rule:

- Notice how the French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the first part: accorde-nous ce que Tu nous as promis. This is because it expresses a wish or a request. The subjunctive mood is often used after expressions like "il faut que" (it is necessary that), "il est important que" (it is important that), and "je veux que" (I want that).

- Also, the French sentence uses the negative form "ne...pas" to express "do not." The negative form is often placed before the verb.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the nasal sounds in French, such as "on" and "un." These sounds are not like the English "on" and "un."

- French pronunciation is more precise than English pronunciation. Pay attention to the sounds of vowels and consonants.

French Translation:

N'ont-ils pas regardé le royaume des cieux et de la terre, et ce que Dieu a créé ? N'ont-ils pas remarqué que leur terme pourrait bien être proche ? Alors à quelle parole après celle-ci croiront-ils ?

Word-by-Word Breakdown:

- N'ont-ils pas (Non-ont-ils-pas) - This translates to "haven't they" and is a negative interrogative phrase in French. The "ont" part is the present tense of "avoir" (to have), conjugated in the third person plural.

- regardé (ruh-gar-day) - This means "looked" and is the past participle of the verb "regarder" (to look).

- le royaume (luh rway-om) - This translates to "the kingdom." It's a noun.

- des cieux (day syuh) - This translates to "of the heavens." "Des" is the plural of "de" (of) and "cieux" (plural of "ciel") means "heavens."

- et (ay) - This means "and" and is a conjunction.

- de la terre (duh lah ter) - This means "of the earth," "de" being "of" and "terre" meaning "earth."

- et ce que Dieu a créé (ay suh kuh dyuh ah cray-ay) - This means "and what God created." "Ce" is the pronoun "that," "Dieu" means "God," "créé" is the past participle of the verb "créer" (to create).

- N'ont-ils pas remarqué (Non-ont-ils-pas ruh-mar-kay) - This means "haven't they noticed." The "ont" part is the present tense of "avoir" (to have), conjugated in the third person plural, and "remarqué" is the past participle of the verb "remarquer" (to notice).

- que leur terme pourrait bien être proche (kuh lur term poo-ray byen ay prosh) - This means "that their end might well be near." "Que" is "that," "leur" is "their," "terme" is "end" or "term," "pourrait" is the conditional tense of "pouvoir" (to be able), "bien" is "well," "être" is "to be," and "proche" is "near."

- Alors à quelle parole après celle-ci croiront-ils ? (Ah-lor ah kel pah-rol ah-pray sel-see krwa-ron-teel) - This means "Then to what word after this will they believe?" "Alors" is "then," "à" is "to," "quelle" is "what," "parole" is "word," "après" is "after," "celle-ci" is "this one," "croiront-ils" is the future tense of the verb "croire" (to believe) conjugated in the third person plural.

Grammar Note:

- The question mark at the end of the sentence is important in French because it indicates the sentence is a question.

Pronunciation Notes:

- In French, the "r" sound is often a soft "r" sound, as opposed to the strong "r" sound in English.

- The "e" at the end of words is often silent, unless it is followed by a vowel sound.

This sentence is a rhetorical question, meaning the speaker is not expecting an answer. It is a powerful way to express the speaker's frustration with people who refuse to believe in God despite the evidence that surrounds them.

French:

Allah (pronounced "ah-lah") ne (pronounced "nuh") est (pronounced "eh") Dieu (pronounced "dyuh") que (pronounced "kuh") Lui (pronounced "lwee") le (pronounced "luh") vivant (pronounced "vee-vah") l'Éternel (pronounced "leh-tern-el").

Word-for-word breakdown:

- Allah: Arabic word for God. We're using the Arabic word here as it's a proper noun and there is no direct French equivalent.

- ne: This is the negative particle in French. It usually comes before the verb. This sentence is in the negative form.

- est: This is the verb être (to be) in the third person singular present tense.

- Dieu: This is the French word for God.

- que: This is a conjunction meaning "only" or "but" in French.

- Lui: This is a pronoun meaning "Him" in French.

- le: This is the definite article "the" in French.

- vivant: This is an adjective meaning "living" in French. It modifies the noun Éternel.

- l'Éternel: This is the French word for "the Eternal". It's a noun.

Grammar Notes:

- The verb "est" is placed after the negative particle "ne" because the sentence is in the negative form. This is a basic rule in French grammar.

- In this sentence, we use "Lui" (pronoun) to refer to God, instead of repeating "Dieu" (noun). This is called avoiding repetition in French grammar, which is considered good style.

English:

God is only He, the Living, the Eternal.

French Translation:

Souvenez-vous de moi, et je me souviendrai de vous. Remerciez-moi et ne me reniez pas.

Grammar Note:

The imperative form is used to give commands or instructions. In this sentence, the imperative is used to address a group of people, so the plural forms of the verbs are used: "souvenez-vous", "remerciez", and "reniez".

The negative form of the imperative is formed by adding "ne" before the verb and "pas" after the verb.

- Mécréants (me-kre-ahn) has a silent "t" at the end.

Further Explanation:

French Translation:

Ô hommes, mangez de ce qui est sur la terre, de ce qui est licite et bon, et ne suivez pas les traces du Diable. Car il est vraiment pour vous un ennemi déclaré.

English Translation:

O people, eat from what is on earth, what is lawful and good, and do not follow the steps of the Devil. Indeed, he is your clear enemy.

Word for Word Breakdown:

- Ô hommes - O hommes (pronounced "o-m" like the English "oh" followed by "m") - This is a direct address to humans, similar to "O people" in English.

- mangez - eat (pronounced "man-jay") - This is the present tense imperative form of the verb "manger," which means "to eat."

- de ce qui est sur la terre - from what is on earth - This phrase describes the source of the food. "Ce qui" means "that which," and "sur la terre" means "on the earth."

- de ce qui est licite - what is lawful - "licite" (pronounced "lee-seet") means "lawful" or "permitted" in the context of food.

- et bon - and good - This adds a further qualification to the food, specifying that it should be good quality.

- et ne suivez pas - and do not follow - This introduces a negative command. "Ne" negates the verb, and "suivez" is the present tense imperative form of the verb "suivre," meaning "to follow."

- les traces du Diable - the steps of the Devil - "Les traces" (pronounced "lay-trass") means "the tracks," and "du Diable" means "of the Devil."

- car il est vraiment pour vous un ennemi déclaré - indeed, he is your clear enemy - This is a statement of fact about the Devil. "Car" (pronounced "car") means "for," "il" means "he," and "ennemi déclaré" (pronounced "en-ne-mee deklare") means "declared enemy."

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the imperative form of the verb for both commands: "mangez" and "ne suivez pas." This form is used to give commands or orders.

- The sentence structure is a bit more complex than in English. The phrase "de ce qui est sur la terre" acts as a modifier for "mangez," specifying the type of food. The second command, "ne suivez pas," is connected to the first with the conjunction "et."

Pronunciation Assistance:

- ô is pronounced like the English "oh"

- mangez is pronounced "man-jay"

- licite is pronounced "lee-seet"

- traces is pronounced "lay-trass"

- Diable is pronounced "dee-abl"

- déclaré is pronounced "deklare"

- cachent - conceal (pronounced "kash")

- et - and (pronounced "ay")

- ce - what (pronounced "suh")

- qu' - that (pronounced "kuh")

- ils - they (pronounced "eel")

- manifestent - reveal (pronounced "man-ih-fehs-tah")

Grammar Notes:

- In French, the question "Do they not know..." is formed with the negative "ne" followed by the verb. The verb is then conjugated for the subject (in this case "they" or "ils"). The negative "pas" is placed at the end of the sentence.

- This is an example of a complex sentence with two clauses. The first clause ("Ne savent-ils pas") is an interrogative (question). The second clause ("que Dieu sait ce qu'ils cachent et ce qu'ils manifestent") is a declarative (statement).

- "Ce" is a demonstrative pronoun meaning "what". It is used here because it refers to something that is already mentioned in the sentence.

- The use of the subjunctive mood (manifestent) in the second clause emphasizes the certainty of God's knowledge.

English Translation:

Say: "Do you worship, besides Allah, that which has no power over you, neither harm nor benefit? And Allah is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."

Explanation:

- Dis: is a simple command meaning "say". It is the imperative form of the verb "dire" (to say).

- Adorez-vous: This is a question meaning "Do you adore?". It uses the verb "adorer" (to adore), which is a strong verb meaning "to worship" in this context. The "vous" makes it a plural you, "you all" or "you guys".

- En dehors: This is a preposition meaning "outside of", "besides" or "apart from".

- De Dieu: This is a noun phrase meaning "of God". "Dieu" is the French word for God.

- Ce qui: This is a pronoun meaning "that which" and introduces a relative clause.

- Ne possède: This is a verb meaning "does not possess" and is in the third person singular form (meaning it refers to a singular noun, in this case "ce qui"). It uses the auxiliary "ne" and the verb "posséder" (to possess) in its negative form.

- Pour vous: This is a prepositional phrase meaning "for you". "Vous" is the plural pronoun for "you".

- Ni du mal: This is a negative phrase meaning "neither harm". The conjunction "ni" is used to connect two negative elements. "Du mal" is a noun phrase meaning "harm".

- Ni du bien: This is also a negative phrase meaning "nor good". "Du bien" is a noun phrase meaning "good".

- Et Dieu: This is a conjunction phrase meaning "and God". It connects two parts of the sentence.

- Est l'Audient: This is a verb phrase meaning "is the Hearer". It uses the verb "être" (to be) and the noun "l'Audient" (the Hearer).

- Le Savant: This is a noun meaning "the Knower".

Grammar Rules:

- The sentence starts with an imperative command "Dis".

- The main verb "adorer" is conjugated in the present tense to form a question.

- The negative is formed with "ne" and the verb in its negative form.

- The relative clause is introduced with "ce qui" (that which).

- The conjunction "ni" is used to connect two negative elements.

- "Dieu" is a proper noun and should be capitalized.

- The French word for "God" is "Dieu" (pronounced "dyuh").

French: Et ceux qui ont mécru et ont démenti Nos versets, ceux-là sont les gens du Feu. (ay seh kee ohn maykroo eh ohn daymantee noh vairsay, sohlah sohn lay zhan doo foh) English: And those who disbelieved and denied Our verses, those are the people of the Fire.

- "ont mécru" and "ont démenti" are past participles used in the passé composé tense, which is used to express actions that are completed in the past.

- "du Feu" is a partitive article, indicating that "Feu" (Fire) is a part of a larger category (in this case, a place).

- Si introduces the conditional clause.

- The verb in the conditional clause is in the present tense (évitez)

- Nous is used to denote the speaker, in this case, a divine being.

- The verbs effacerons and ferons are in the future tense.

- The use of vous in the French translation signifies a plural "you" which is appropriate to the context of the original text.

- French is a very phonetic language. Pay attention to the pronunciation of the vowels and consonants.

- "e" at the end of a word is usually silent.

- "on" is pronounced as "ohn"

- The sound "u" is similar to the English sound in "too."

- "ai" and "ei" are pronounced like the "ay" in "say"

Grammar Notes:

- Future Tense: The future tense in French is formed by combining the infinitive of the verb with the appropriate conjugation of the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have).

- Direct Object Pronoun: In the phrase "Nous voulons en manger," the pronoun "en" acts as a direct object pronoun, replacing the noun "fruit" (which is understood).

- Possessive Adjectives: Possessive adjectives in French agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For example, "nos cœurs" (our hearts) uses the plural masculine form of the possessive adjective "nos".

- Preposition "parmi": The preposition "parmi" means "among" or "amidst". It is followed by the definite article "les" when used with a plural noun.

Grammar Notes

- "Si vous avez un pouvoir" - The phrase "if you have" is used with the verb "avoir" - ah-vwar.

- "Dites-vous" - The verb "dire" dee-r is conjugated in the present tense, but it is a question.

- "ce que vous ne savez pas" - suh kuh voo nuh sah-vay pah - The phrase ce que means "what" and is used here to introduce a relative clause.

Grammar Note: "N'as-tu pas vu" is an example of the "inversion" grammatical structure used in French when asking a question. The subject ("tu" - you) is placed after the verb ("as-tu" - have you).

English Translation:

Have you not seen those who have received a share of the Book, who buy error and wish that you would stray from the right path?

French Translation:

Et ceux qui ont cru et ont fait de bonnes actions, ceux-là sont les habitants du Paradis, ils y demeureront éternellement.

English Breakdown:

- The "s" at the end of words is typically silent unless it's followed by a vowel.

- "i" at the end of words is pronounced like the "ee" in "see".

Grammar Notes:

- "Ceux qui" is a relative pronoun phrase, meaning "those who".

- "ils y demeureront" uses the pronoun "ils" to refer back to the subject "ceux-là" and the adverb "y" to indicate a location, in this case, Paradise.

This sentence uses a compound sentence structure, connecting two clauses with the conjunction "et" (and).

French Translation:

Ou avez-vous pensé que vous entreriez au Paradis sans que Dieu ne sache ceux d'entre vous qui ont lutté et ne sache les patients ?

Word for Word Breakdown:

- Ou (oo) - or

- avez-vous (a-vey-voo) - have you (formal plural)

Grammar Notes:

- This sentence uses the subjunctive mood in French. The subjunctive is used after certain verbs and conjunctions to express doubt, uncertainty, or possibility. Here, it is used after the verbs penser (to think) and savoir (to know).

- The verb savoir (to know) is used in the negative form in this sentence. Notice the use of "ne...pas" which is common in French to express negation.

English Translation:

Or did you think you would enter Paradise without God knowing those among you who struggled and knowing the patient ones?

French Translation:

Ce qui t'arrive de bien vient d'Allah, et ce qui t'arrive de mal vient de toi-même. Nous t'avons envoyé comme messager aux gens, et Allah suffit comme témoin.

- t'arrive - "happens to you" (pronounced "tar-reev")

- de bien - "good" (pronounced "duh bee-an")

- Allah - "Allah" (pronounced "a-lah")

- suffit - "is enough" (pronounced "soo-fee")

- témoin - "witness" (pronounced "tay-mwan")

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the first two clauses ("Ce qui t'arrive de bien... Ce qui t'arrive de mal"). This is because the main clause ("Nous t'avons envoyé comme messager...") expresses a reason or purpose.

- The use of "de" before "bien" and "mal" emphasizes the nature of the events. It translates to "of" but is used to specify the type of event.

- The pronoun "toi-même" is used for emphasis and to highlight the individual responsibility for negative actions.

This is a good example of how French uses grammatical elements to express meaning in a more subtle and nuanced way than English. By learning these grammatical nuances, you can gain a deeper understanding of the French language and its culture.

French Translation:

French Translation:

Ô vous qui croyez, ne soyez pas comme ceux qui ont mécru et qui ont dit à leurs frères : "S'ils étaient parmi nous quand ils se sont battus dans le pays ou quand ils ont été tués, ils ne seraient ni morts ni tués." Allah a fait de cela un sujet de regret dans leurs cœurs. Et Allah donne la vie et Il donne la mort. Et Allah voit bien ce que vous faites.

Breakdown:

- Ô vous qui croyez: Ô vous qui croyez is a direct address, similar to "O you who believe" in English. In French, it is Ô vous qui croyez pronounced oh voo kee krwa-yay. It is a common phrase used in the Quran and refers to Muslims.

- ne soyez pas comme ceux qui ont mécru: This translates to "do not be like those who disbelieved". This part is a negative command using ne soyez pas pronounced nuh swah-yay pah which literally means "do not be". ceux qui ont mécru is a noun phrase meaning "those who disbelieved" and is pronounced suh kee ohn may-kroo.

- et qui ont dit à leurs frères: This translates to "and who said to their brothers." This part adds more context about the disbelievers. et qui ont dit is a conjunction and verb phrase meaning "and who said" pronounced ay kee ohn dee. à leurs frères is a prepositional phrase meaning "to their brothers" pronounced ah lur frair.

- ils ne seraient ni morts ni tués: This is a negative statement, which means "they would not have died or been killed". ils ne seraient ni morts ni tués is pronounced eel nuh ser-ay nee mor nee too-ay.

- Allah a fait de cela un sujet de regret dans leurs cœurs: This translates to "Allah made that a matter of regret in their hearts." Allah a fait is a verb phrase meaning "Allah made" pronounced a-lah ah fay. de cela un sujet de regret is a noun phrase meaning "of that a matter of regret" pronounced duh suh-lah uh soo-jay duh ruh-greh. dans leurs cœurs is a prepositional phrase meaning "in their hearts" pronounced dahn lur ker.

- The phrase "ceux-là" (se-lah) is a pronoun referring to those who do not judge according to what Allah has revealed, and it is used to avoid repetition.

- Focus on the clear enunciation of the final "t" sound in "après" and "soyez".

French Translation:

Et en vérité, des messagers ont été traités de menteurs avant toi, et ils ont été patients face à ce qu’on leur a démenti et à ce qu’on leur a fait subir, jusqu’à ce que Notre secours leur soit venu. Et il n’y a point de changeur aux paroles d’Allah. Et en vérité, il t’est parvenu des nouvelles des messagers.

Word-for-Word Explanation:

- Et en vérité (Et en vérité) - Et en vérité (eh-tan-ve-ri-tay) This is a common phrase in French to introduce something that is true.

- des messagers - messengers (day meh-sah-jay) - plural of "messager"

- ont été traités de menteurs - were called liars (ont ay-tay treh-tay duh mon-tur) - "ont" is the past participle of "avoir" which means "to have," "été" means "been" and "traités" means "treated."

- avant toi - before you (ah-vahn twa) - before someone, use the preposition "avant" followed by the pronoun.

- et ils ont été patients - and they were patient (eh eelz ont ay-tay pah-see-ahn) - the pronoun "ils" means "they"

- face à ce qu’on leur a démenti - in the face of what they were denied (fahs ah suh kon lur ah day-mon-tee) - "face à" means "in the face of" - "ce qu'on leur a démenti" is a complex phrase - "ce" means "what," "on" is the indefinite pronoun "one," "leur" means "them" "a" means "has" and "démenti" means "denied."

- et à ce qu’on leur a fait subir - and what they were made to endure (eh ah suh kon lur ah fay soo-beer) - this is a similar phrase as before, just with a different verb, "subir" - to endure.

- jusqu’à ce que Notre secours leur soit venu - until our help came to them (joosk-ah suh keh no-treh seh-koor lur swa ve-noo) - "jusqu'à" means "until," "Notre" means "our," "secours" means "help" and "venir" means "to come."

- Et il n’y a point de changeur aux paroles d’Allah. - And there is no changer of Allah's words (eh eel ny ah pwan duh shahn-jur oh pah-rohl dal-lah) - "il n'y a point de" means "there is no."

- Et en vérité, il t’est parvenu des nouvelles des messagers. - And in truth, news of the messengers has reached you. (eh-tan-ve-ri-tay eel tay par-ve-noo day noo-vel duh meh-sah-jay) - "parvenir" means "to reach" and "nouvelles" means "news."

Grammar Notes:

- Subjunctive Mood: The phrase "jusqu’à ce que" is followed by the subjunctive mood, which is used to express an idea that is uncertain or dependent on something else. In this case, the help came to them once they were patient.

- Gender Agreement: Notice how "parole" (words) and "nouvelle" (news) are feminine, so they are followed by the feminine articles "les" (the) and "des" (some/any).

This is a complex sentence, but by breaking it down, you can learn the French words and grammar structures.

And do not marry women who associate (with other deities) until they believe. A believing female slave is better than an associating woman, even if she pleases you. And do not marry men who associate (with other deities) until they believe. A believing male slave is better than an associating man, even if he pleases you.

French Translation:

Dis: (Dee) - Say

que: (kuh) - that

ma (mah) - my

prière: (pree-air) - prayer

et (ay) - and

mes (may) - my

sacrifices: (sah-kree-fees) - sacrifices

et (ay) - and

ma (mah) - my

vie: (vee) - life

et (ay) - and

ma (mah) - my

mort: (mor) - death

à (ah) - to

Allah: (ah-lah) - Allah

le (luh) - the

Seigneur: (sen-yor) - Lord

des (day) - of the

mondes. (mond) - worlds.

Full sentence: Dis que ma prière et mes sacrifices et ma vie et ma mort appartiennent à Allah, le Seigneur des mondes.

English Translation: Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds."

Explanation:

- Dis que: This is a common French phrase that means "Say that". It's similar to the English phrase "Say that..."

- ma prière: "Ma" is the possessive adjective meaning "my" in French. It changes based on the gender of the noun it modifies. In this case, "prière" is feminine, so we use "ma".

- mes sacrifices: "Mes" is the plural possessive adjective for "my". It's used because "sacrifices" is a plural noun.

- ma vie et ma mort: These are both feminine nouns, so we use "ma" to mean "my".

- appartiennent à Allah: "Appartiennent" is the third person plural present tense form of the verb "appartenir", which means "to belong". It agrees with the plural subject "ma prière, mes sacrifices, ma vie, et ma mort". "à" is the preposition "to".

- le Seigneur des mondes: "le Seigneur" means "the Lord". "des" is the plural form of the definite article "le" and means "of the" or "the". "mondes" is the plural form of the noun "monde" which means "world".

Grammar Note: In French, the verb conjugation agrees with the subject in number (singular or plural) and person (first, second, or third). For example, in the sentence above, the verb "appartiennent" is in the third person plural because the subject is "ma prière, mes sacrifices, ma vie, et ma mort".

Pronunciation:

Please note that the pronunciation above is a general guide. The actual pronunciation may vary depending on the region or speaker.

French Translation:

Except those who repented after that and reformed, for God is Forgiving, Merciful.

English Breakdown:

- Except - Sauf (pronounced "sohf")

- those who - ceux qui (pronounced "sœ ki") - This is a relative pronoun phrase, meaning "those who" in English. It connects the two clauses.

Grammar Notes:

- Relative pronoun: "ceux qui" connects two clauses and introduces a relative clause.

- Reflexive verbs: "se repentir" and "s'amender" are reflexive verbs. This means they take the reflexive pronoun "se" before the verb. The reflexive pronoun agrees with the subject in number and gender.

- Past participle agreement: The past participles of reflexive verbs agree with the subject in number and gender. So, since the subject is plural (those who), the past participles "repentis" and "amendés" are also in the plural form.

- Conjunction: "car" is a conjunction that introduces a reason or explanation.

French Translation:

Nous en avons fait un châtiment pour ce qui l'a précédée et pour ce qui la suivra, et un enseignement pour les pieux.

Here, the auxiliary verb "avoir" is conjugated as "avons" and the past participle of "faire" (to make) is "fait".

Grammar Rules:

- Past Imperfect Tense: The past imperfect tense in French is used to describe ongoing actions in the past. It is formed by adding -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient to the stem of the verb. For example, "élevait" (was raising) is the past imperfect tense of the verb "élever" (to raise).

- Direct Object Pronouns: The direct object pronoun nous ("us") is used because the action of being accepted is done to "us," in this case, Abraham and Ishmael. It replaces the noun phrase "Abraham et Ismaël" in the sentence.

- Subject-Verb Agreement: The verb "es" (are) agrees with the subject "Tu" (You) in the second person singular.

- Capitalization: In French, nouns are capitalized, including proper nouns like "Abraham" and "Ismaël."

- C'est is a contraction of "ce est," meaning "it is."

Additional Notes:

- This translation is a direct translation of the Arabic text. It is important to remember that translations can vary depending on the context and the intended audience.

- This translation may be difficult for someone learning French to understand, as it contains several complex grammatical structures and vocabulary.

- If you are learning French, it is important to start with simpler texts and gradually increase the difficulty level.

The "qu'il nous éclaircisse" is an example of a subjunctive clause. This type of clause expresses a desire or an obligation.

This sentence uses the direct object pronoun "nous" (us) to show that the people are asking the Lord to enlighten them.

Grammar Note: In French, the verb conjugation changes based on the subject and tense. In this sentence, we see the present tense of the verbs montrer, promettre, faire, and être (to be) being used with different subjects (Nous - We, tu - you). This is important to remember when conjugating verbs in French.

English Translation:

And if We show you some of what We promised them, or if We cause you to die, to Us is their return, then Allah is a witness to what they do.

French Translation:

Ils furent donc vaincus là-bas et retournèrent humiliés.

Word-for-word explanation:

- Ils - They (pronounced "eel") - Subject pronoun, plural

- furent - were (pronounced "fu-re") - past tense of the verb "être" (to be)

- donc - therefore (pronounced "donk") - conjunction, indicates consequence

- vaincus - defeated (pronounced "ven-ku") - past participle of the verb "vaincre" (to defeat)

- là-bas - there (pronounced "la-ba") - adverb of place

- et - and (pronounced "eh") - conjunction

- retournèrent - returned (pronounced "re-toor-ne-re") - past tense of the verb "retourner" (to return)

- humiliés - humiliated (pronounced "u-mi-li-e") - past participle of the verb "humilier" (to humiliate)

Grammar rules:

- This sentence uses the past tense to describe an event that happened in the past.

- The verb "être" (to be) is used with the past participle "vaincus" to form the passive voice, which focuses on the action being done to the subject.

- The verb "retourner" (to return) is conjugated in the past tense to describe the action of returning.

- The past participle "humiliés" is used as an adjective to describe the state of the subject after their return.

English Translation:

So they were defeated there and returned in shame.

French Translation

Ils vous jureront par Allah (pronunciation: a-lah) s'ils retournent vers vous, pour que vous vous détourniez d'eux. Alors, détournez-vous d'eux. En effet, ils sont impurs et leur demeure est l'Enfer, en récompense de ce qu'ils ont acquis.

Word for word explanation:

Ils - they (plural masculine)

vous - you (plural)

jureront - will swear (future tense of "jurer")

par - by

Allah - Allah (pronunciation: a-lah)

s'ils - if they

retournent - return (present tense of "retourner")

vers - towards

vous - you (plural)

pour que - so that

vous - you (plural)

vous détourniez - you turn away (subjunctive mood of "se détourner")

d'eux - from them

Alors - then

détournez-vous - turn away (imperative mood of "se détourner")

d'eux - from them

En effet - indeed

ils sont - they are

impurs - impure

et - and

leur - their

demeure - dwelling

est - is

l'Enfer - hell (masculine noun)

en récompense - as a reward

de ce qu' - for what

ils ont acquis - they have acquired

Grammar Rules

- Future Tense: The future tense in French is formed by adding the infinitive of the verb to the appropriate conjugation of the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) or "être" (to be). For example, "ils jureront" is formed by adding the infinitive "jurer" to the future tense of "avoir" for the third person plural, which is "auront".

- Subjunctive Mood: The subjunctive mood is used to express a wish, a doubt, or a necessity. It is often used after conjunctions like "pour que" (so that). In the sentence, "vous vous détourniez" is in the subjunctive mood because it expresses a necessity.

- Imperative Mood: The imperative mood is used to give a command or make a request. In the sentence, "détournez-vous" is in the imperative mood because it is giving a command.

- Masculine Noun: "l'Enfer" is a masculine noun, so the definite article used with it is "le" (masculine singular definite article). However, "l" is used in this instance as a liaison, which means it is a silent "l" that serves to connect the definite article to the following noun.

- Direct Object Pronoun: The direct object pronoun "eux" is used after the verbs "retournent" and "détournez-vous" because the object of these verbs is the plural masculine pronoun "ils".

- Prepositional Phrase: The prepositional phrase "par Allah" is used to specify the object of the verb "jureront".

This explanation is a guide to understanding the meaning of the French sentence, but there are other grammatical nuances to consider. It is always helpful to consult a grammar textbook or online resource for more detailed explanations of French grammar.

- In French, the verb "être" (to be) agrees in number and gender with the subject. In this sentence, the subject is "vous" (you), which is plural, so the verb is conjugated as "êtes" (are).

- In French, the past participle of a verb agrees in number and gender with the direct object of the verb. In this sentence, the direct object of the verb "recevoir" (to receive) is "le Livre" (the book), which is masculine singular, so the past participle "reçu" (received) remains unchanged.

- "Vous" is pronounced "voo" with a soft "v" sound, similar to the English "v" in "vat."

- "Certains" is pronounced "ser-tehn-mahn," with the stress on the second syllable.

C’est Lui, en vérité, le Repentant, le Miséricordieux.

Word-for-word breakdown in English:

Et lorsque Moïse dit à son peuple: "Et" (et) "when" (lorsque) "Moses" (Moïse) "said" (dit) "to" (à) "his" (son) "people" (peuple)

"Ô mon peuple, vous vous êtes fait du tort à vous-mêmes en prenant le veau": "Oh" (Ô) "my" (mon) "people" (peuple) "you" (vous) "have" (êtes) "done" (fait) "wrong" (tort) "to" (à) "yourselves" (vous-mêmes) "by" (en) "taking" (prenant) "the" (le) "calf" (veau) "Repentez-vous auprès de votre Créateur et tuez-vous, car cela est meilleur pour vous auprès de votre Créateur": "Repent" (Repentez-vous) "to" (auprès de) "your" (votre) "Creator" (Créateur) "and" (et) "kill" (tuez) "yourselves" (vous) "because" (car) "this" (cela) "is" (est) "better" (meilleur) "for" (pour) "you" (vous) "with" (auprès de) "your" (votre) "Creator" (Créateur).

"Alors Il se repentit envers vous": "Then" (Alors) "He" (Il) "repented" (se repentit) "toward" (envers) "you" (vous)

Grammar rules:

- "Et lorsque..." This is a common way to introduce a past event in French, similar to "And when..." in English.

- "Vous vous êtes fait du tort" The verb "faire" (to do/make) can be used in this context to express the idea of "doing wrong" or "harming." The reflexive pronoun "vous" is used here because the subject (you) is also the object of the action (harming yourselves).

- "Tuez-vous" The imperative form "tuyez-vous" is used here to express a strong command or instruction.

- "C’est Lui" This phrase emphasizes that the Creator is the one who repented.

Notes:

- It's important to remember that these translations are literal and may not be the most natural or idiomatic way to say things in French.

- French uses articles (like "le," "la," "les") more frequently than English, so pay attention to their use.

- Pronunciation can be tricky in French, but practicing with a native speaker or online resources can help.

Grammar Notes

- The use of the definite article "le" before nouns is governed by gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) in French. For example, "le rocher" (the rock) is masculine singular.

- The present tense is used to describe actions that are happening now. For example, "ils ne peuvent rien obtenir" (they cannot obtain anything).

- The past participle is used to form compound tenses, such as the passé composé (present perfect). For example, "qu'ils ont gagné" (that they have earned).

Pronunciation Tips

- French vowels are typically pronounced more open and distinct than in English.

- The "r" sound is rolled, similar to Spanish.

- The "h" sound is silent at the beginning of words.

- The "s" sound at the end of a word is generally silent unless followed by a vowel.

It's important to practice pronunciation with audio resources and a French tutor to get a good grasp of the sounds of the language.

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the adjective "meilleurs" in the plural form because it modifies the two nouns "parole" and "pardon."

- The adjective "bienveillante" agrees in gender with the noun "parole," while the adjective "patient" agrees in gender with the noun "Dieu."

Pronunciation:

Pay attention to the pronunciation of the French vowels, which often differ from English vowels. For example, "o" in "parole" is pronounced like the "o" in "go," while "u" in "suivie" is pronounced like the "u" in "flute."

Additional Tips:

- Practice saying the words out loud to get a feel for the French pronunciation.

Il n’y a pas de bien dans beaucoup de leurs conversations, excepté celui qui commande la charité, ou une bonne action, ou la réconciliation entre les gens. Et celui qui fait cela en cherchant l'agrément d'Allah, Nous lui donnerons bientôt une grande récompense.

Word-by-word Explanation:

Il n’y a pas de bien dans beaucoup de leurs conversations, (Pronounced: eel ny ah pah duh bee-ahn dah boo-koo duh leur kon-ver-sah-syon)

- Il - He, It (This is the subject, and it refers to the previous verse or the topic at hand. This is a common way to start a sentence in French when talking about something already mentioned)

- n’y a pas - there is not

- de bien - of good ( "bien" is a masculine noun meaning "good")

- dans - in

- beaucoup - many

- de leurs conversations - of their conversations ( "leurs" is the possessive adjective that agrees in gender and number with "conversations" which is feminine and plural)

excepté celui qui commande la charité, (Pronounced: ek-sep-tay se-loo-ee kee kom-mand lah sha-ri-tay)

- excepté - except, but

- celui - he who, the one who, ( "celui" is a masculine pronoun that agrees with the following noun "qui")

- qui - who (this is a relative pronoun that introduces the next clause)

- commande - orders, commands (this verb is conjugated in the present tense)

- la charité - charity ("la" is the feminine definite article before "charité")

ou une bonne action, (Pronounced: oo oon bon ak-syon)

- ou - or

- une - a ( "une" is the feminine indefinite article before "bonne" which is a feminine adjective)

- bonne action - good action

ou la réconciliation entre les gens. (Pronounced: oo lah re-kon-si-li-ah-syon on-truh lay zhan)

- ou - or

- la réconciliation - reconciliation ( "la" is the feminine definite article)

- entre - between, among

- les - the ( "les" is the plural definite article before "gens" which is a masculine noun)

- gens - people

Et celui qui fait cela en cherchant l'agrément d'Allah, (Pronounced: ay se-loo-ee kee fay suh-lah on sher-shan lah-gre-mon dal-lah)

- Et - And

- celui - he who, the one who

- qui fait - who does ( "qui" is a relative pronoun, "fait" is conjugated in the present tense)

- cela - that (this is a pronoun referring to the previous actions)

- en cherchant - by seeking, while seeking ( "en" is a preposition that expresses the manner)

- l'agrément - the pleasure, the approval ("l'" is the masculine definite article)

- lui - him (pronoun referring to the one who does good actions)

- donnerons - will give (the future tense of "donner")

- bientôt - soon

- une grande récompense - a great reward

Grammar Note: You might notice that French has a strong subject-verb agreement rule. This means that the verb must agree with the subject in number and gender. For example, in the sentence "Il n’y a pas de bien dans beaucoup de leurs conversations", the verb "a" is in the singular form because the subject "il" is singular. In contrast, the verb "donnerons" is in the plural form because the subject "nous" is plural.

French:

Ô vous qui croyez ! Si vous craignez Allah, Il vous donnera un discernement, Il effacera vos mauvaises actions et Il vous pardonnera. Et Allah est le Maître de l'énorme bienfait.

Pronunciation:

- Ô (oh)

- vous (voo)

- qui (kee)

- croyez (krwa-yeh)

- Si (see)

- vous (voo)

- craignez (kre-nyeh)

- Allah (a-la)

- Il (eel)

- vous (voo)

- donnera (do-nera)

- un (uhn)

- discernement (dees-sern-muh)

- Il (eel)

- est (eh)

- le (luh)

- Maître (meh-truh)

- de (duh)

- l'énorme (leh-norm)

- bienfait (bee-en-feh)

English Breakdown:

- Ô vous qui croyez ! (Oh you who believe) This is an exclamation, and the "!" is necessary.

- Si vous craignez Allah (If you fear Allah) "Si" means "if." The verb "craignez" is the plural form of "craindre" which means to fear, and here we use the "vous" conjugation. "Allah" is a proper noun.

- Il vous donnera un discernement (He will give you discernment). Here the verb "donnera" is in the future tense. The word "discernement" is the noun for the ability to judge well.

- Il effacera vos mauvaises actions (He will erase your bad actions). "Effacera" is a future tense conjugation of "effacer" which means "to erase". "Vos" means your and is the plural form of "your". "Mauvaises" is the plural form of "mauvaise" which means "bad." "Actions" is the plural form of "action."

- et Il vous pardonnera. (and He will forgive you). The "et" is a conjunction meaning "and." The verb "pardonnera" is in the future tense.

- Et Allah est le Maître de l'énorme bienfait. (And Allah is the Master of the great favor). Again, "et" is a conjunction meaning "and". The verb "est" means is, and it is in the present tense. "Maître" is the noun "master". "De" is a preposition meaning "of". "l'énorme" is the masculine singular form of the adjective "énorme," meaning "huge," "great" or "enormous". "bienfait" is a noun meaning "favor".

French Translation:

Dites: (Dee-tay) "Avez-vous vu ce que Dieu vous a fait descendre comme subsistance ?" (ah-vay voo voo k'uh Dy-uh voo ah fay day-sahn-dr'uh kom sub-sis-tahn-s'uh?)

Grammar Notes:

- The first sentence is a direct address, hence the use of the imperative "Dites".

- The second sentence uses the present perfect tense "avez fait" to emphasize the action has been completed.

- The third and fourth sentences are questions, hence the use of "Est-ce que" followed by the verb.

- The fourth sentence uses the present tense "inventez" to describe an ongoing action.

Pronunciation:

- Dites: (Dee-tay) - The "s" at the end is silent.

- Avez-vous: (ah-vay voo) - The "v" is pronounced as "w".

- haram: (ah-rahm) - The "h" is silent.

Puis vous, vous vous tuez les uns les autres et vous expulsez un groupe parmi vous de leurs maisons. Vous vous êtes ligués contre eux par le péché et l’agression. Et s’ils viennent à vous prisonniers, vous les rachetez, alors qu’il vous est interdit de les expulser. Croyez-vous à une partie du Livre et niez-vous l’autre ?

Et ils suivirent ce que les démons récitaient sur le royaume de Salomon. Or Salomon ne fut pas infidèle, mais ce sont les démons qui furent infidèles.

Grammar Notes:

- Subject-Verb Agreement: French verbs must agree in number and person with their subject. Notice how ils (they) is plural and the verbs suivirent, récitaient, etc. are also in the plural form.

- Pronoun Placement: In French, pronouns often precede the verb. For example, in "ils n'enseignaient à personne," the pronoun ils comes before the verb enseignaient.

- The Subjunctive Mood: In some cases, the subjunctive mood is used in French. In the sentence "ce qui fut révélé," the verb fut is in the subjunctive mood because it is preceded by ce qui.

Pronunciation Notes

- Silent letters: In French, some letters are silent. For example, the "e" at the end of many words is silent. This can be confusing for English speakers, so it is important to learn the rules of pronunciation.

- Stress: In French, the stress is usually on the last syllable of a word.

- Vowel sounds: French vowels are often different from English vowels. For example, the "a" in "la" is pronounced like the "a" in "father," not like the "a" in "cat."

Pronunciation Tips:

Pronunciation:

- The "u" in "puis" is silent.

- The "e" in "vérité" is pronounced like "ay."

French Translation:

Dites, ô gens, la vérité vous est parvenue de votre Seigneur. Celui qui se guide, ne se guide que pour lui-même, et celui qui s’égare, ne s’égare que contre lui-même. Et je ne suis pas votre garant.

Word-by-Word Breakdown:

- Dites (dee-tay) - Say, tell

- ô gens (oh zhan) - Oh people, the "ô" is a vocative and makes it more formal.

- la vérité (la ve-ri-tay) - the truth

- de votre Seigneur (də vɔ-trə se-nyœr) - from your Lord. "Seigneur" is a formal way to address God.

- Celui qui se guide (sə-lwi ki sə gid) - The one who guides himself. "Celui" is a pronoun meaning "the one" and is used to refer to a person.

French Translation:

Maintenant, et tu as désobéi auparavant, et tu étais parmi les corrupteurs. (mahn-tuhn eh tu ah de-so-bey ah-pah-rah-vah eh tu e-tay pah-mee lay ko-rup-tur)

Word-for-word Breakdown:

- Maintenant (mahn-tuhn) - Now

- tu (tu) - you

- étais (e-tay) - were

- parmi (pah-mee) - among

- les (lay) - the

- corrupteurs (ko-rup-tur) - corruptors

Grammar Rules:

- "tu as désobéi" is the past tense of the verb "désobéir" (to disobey). The past tense in French uses the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) + the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "avoir" is conjugated as "as" because the subject is "tu" (you).

- "tu étais" is the past tense of the verb "être" (to be). In French, the past tense of "être" is formed by conjugating the verb for the appropriate subject and adding the past participle "été." In this case, "être" is conjugated as "étais" because the subject is "tu" (you).

English Translation:

Now, and you disobeyed before, and you were among the corrupters.

French Translation:

Grammar Notes:

- "Ne...pas" is used to negate verbs.

- "en otage" is a prepositional phrase meaning "as a hostage."

- "être" is the infinitive form of the verb "to be," here it is used in the infinitive because the verb is followed by an adjective.

- "pour" is used twice in this sentence, once for the purpose of being benevolent and pious, and then again for the purpose of reconciling people.

This sentence is a reminder that oaths should be made to God with sincerity and not used as a tool for manipulation. It emphasizes the importance of being good and righteous, as well as promoting peace and reconciliation among people.

- "Alors que" introduces a concessive clause, which describes a situation that contrasts with the main clause.

- "Ils l'ont renié" is a direct object pronoun ("le") referring to the "Livre" mentioned previously.

- The French tense here is the imparfait which is the past continuous tense.

Pronunciation Notes:

- The "s" at the end of a word is usually silent in French.

- The "t" at the end of words like "et" is silent, but the "t" in words like "sont" (are) is pronounced.

- "Ils" and "s'ils" sound like "eel" and "seel" because the "s" in front of a consonant is not pronounced.

Learning Tip: The use of the reflexive pronouns is key to understanding French. You can use this example to practice the pronoun "s'en". What happens if you change the subject, "ils," to "elle" (she)?

"Elle s'en éloigne" - She turns away from it.

French Translation:

Ne regardent-ils que l'arrivée des anges, ou la venue de votre Seigneur, ou l'arrivée de certains signes de votre Seigneur ? Le jour où arriveront certains signes de votre Seigneur, la foi ne profitera à aucune âme qui n’aura pas cru auparavant, ou qui n’aura pas acquis de bien dans sa foi.

S'ils sortaient parmi vous, ils ne feraient qu'augmenter votre corruption et ils chercheraient à semer la discorde parmi vous. Ils veulent vous mettre à l'épreuve, et parmi vous il y a des oreilles qui les écoutent. Dieu connaît bien les injustes.

English Translation:

If they went out among you, they would only increase your corruption and they would seek to sow discord among you. They want to put you to the test, and among you there are ears that listen to them. God knows well the unjust.

Grammar Note: The French verb sortir (to go out) is irregular in the conditional tense. The third person plural form is sortaient.

Pronunciation Note: The "u" in vous is silent. The "s" at the end of ils is pronounced only when followed by a vowel.

Note: There are several ways to translate "they want to put you to the test." I chose this translation because it is the most literal and conveys the meaning of the Arabic.

French Translation:

Ils vous jurent (yur) pour que vous soyez satisfaits (satis-fay) d'eux. Mais si vous êtes satisfaits d'eux, Allah (a-la) ne sera pas satisfait (satis-fay) du peuple des désobéissants (day-so-bay-sah).

Breakdown:

- Ils - They (pronounced "il")

- vous - you (pronounced "voo")

- jurent - swear (pronounced "jur")

- pour que - so that, in order that (pronounced "poor keh")

- vous - you (pronounced "voo")

- soyez - be (pronounced "swa-yay")

- satisfaits - satisfied (pronounced "satis-fay")

- d'eux - of them (pronounced "duh")

- Mais - But (pronounced "may")

- si - if (pronounced "see")

- vous - you (pronounced "voo")

- êtes - are (pronounced "et")

- satisfaits - satisfied (pronounced "satis-fay")

- d'eux - of them (pronounced "duh")

- Allah - God, Allah (pronounced "a-la")

- pas - not (pronounced "pah")

- satisfait - satisfied (pronounced "satis-fay")

- du - of the (pronounced "du")

- peuple - people (pronounced "puh-pl")

- des - of the (pronounced "day")

- désobéissants - disobedient (pronounced "day-so-bay-sah")

Grammar Rules:

- The use of "vous" is the formal "you" in French.

- The verb "jurer" (to swear) is conjugated in the present tense, third person plural: "ils jurent".

- The verb "être" (to be) is conjugated in the present tense, third person plural: "ils sont"

- The verb "être" (to be) is conjugated in the present tense, first person plural: "nous sommes"

- The verb "être" (to be) is conjugated in the future tense, third person singular: "il sera".

- The adjective "satisfaits" is used in the plural to agree with the noun "ils".

- The noun "peuple" is in the singular and is masculine.

- The noun "désobéissants" is in the plural and is masculine.

- The preposition "de" is used before "eux" because the phrase is referring to people.

This sentence is a good example of how French uses conjunctions like "mais" (but) and "si" (if) to connect clauses together. It also demonstrates the use of the subjunctive mood in the phrase "pour que vous soyez satisfaits d'eux", which is used to express a purpose or goal.

French Translation:

Ô vous qui croyez ! Lorsque vous contractez une dette à terme fixé, mettez-la par écrit. Et qu'un scribe écrive entre vous en toute justice. Que le scribe ne refuse pas d'écrire comme Allah l'a appris. Qu'il écrive, et que celui qui doit la dette dicte, et qu'il craigne Allah son Seigneur et ne diminue rien de ce qui lui est dû. Si celui qui doit la dette est un enfant, un faible d'esprit, ou incapable de dicter, que son tuteur dicte en toute justice. Et prenez deux témoins parmi vos hommes. S'il n'y a pas deux hommes, alors un homme et deux femmes de ceux que vous approuvez comme témoins, afin que si l'une d'elles se trompe, l'autre puisse lui rappeler. Que les témoins ne refusent pas lorsqu'ils sont appelés. Et ne vous lassez pas d'écrire, qu'il s'agisse d'un petit montant ou d'un grand montant, jusqu'à son échéance. Cela est plus juste auprès d'Allah, plus stable comme preuve, et plus apte à éviter le doute. Sauf s'il s'agit d'une transaction immédiate que vous échangez entre vous, auquel cas il n'est pas péché pour vous de ne pas l'écrire. Et soyez témoins lorsque vous faites une transaction.

Grammar Note: The French sentence structure can be quite different than English. In English, the subject comes first. In French, the subject can sometimes be placed after the verb, especially when introducing a statement with an imperative phrase like "Ô vous qui croyez." This sentence follows the imperative phrase "Ô vous qui croyez" and then the subject "vous" comes after the verb "contractez."

French Translation:

Ils t'interrogent au sujet des femmes. Dis: « Allah vous prescrit concernant elles, et ce qui vous est récité dans le Livre, concernant les orphelines à qui vous ne donnez pas ce qui leur est prescrit, et que vous désirez épouser, et les enfants faibles, et que vous agissiez avec justice envers les orphelins.

- "Inventant des mensonges": This is a present participle, meaning "inventing lies." It's used to describe an action happening concurrently with another action.

Pronunciation Notes:

- "c’est" (say) - the 'c' is silent.

French Translation:

Ne sois donc pas impressionné par leurs biens et leurs enfants. C'est seulement pour les punir avec cela dans la vie présente que Dieu le veut, et que leurs âmes périssent alors qu'ils sont infidèles.

Word for Word Explanation:

- Ne sois donc pas impressionné (pronounced: nuh swa dɔ̃k pa ɛ̃prɛsjɔne) - Don't be impressed

- par leurs biens (pronounced: par lœr bjɛ̃) - by their possessions

- et leurs enfants (pronounced: e lœr ɑ̃fɑ̃) - and their children.

- C'est seulement pour les punir (pronounced: se slœmɑ̃ pur le pynir) - It is only to punish them

- avec cela (pronounced: avɛk səla) - with that

- dans la vie présente (pronounced: dɑ̃ la vi prezɑ̃t) - in the present life

- que Dieu le veut (pronounced: kə djø lə vø) - that God wants it

- et que leurs âmes périssent (pronounced: e kə lœr am pɛris) - and that their souls perish

- alors qu'ils sont infidèles (pronounced: alɔr kil sɔ̃ ɛ̃fidel) - while they are infidels

Grammar Notes:

- Ne sois pas impressionné is an imperative sentence meaning "don't be impressed". It is formed using the negative form "ne" and the verb "sois" (the imperative form of the verb "être" - to be).

- C'est seulement pour les punir avec cela dans la vie présente que Dieu le veut is a complex sentence with multiple clauses. The verb "vouloir" (to want) is used in the subjunctive mood. This mood is used to express a wish, desire, or possibility.

- Alors qu'ils sont infidèles is a subordinate clause that modifies the main clause "leurs âmes périssent." It uses the conjunction "alors que" (while) to link the two clauses.

Those who eat interest (riba) will not stand except as one whom the devil has struck with madness. (This is) because they have said, "Trading is just like interest." But Allah has permitted trading and forbidden interest. So whoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops, he will have what is past, and his affair is up to Allah. But whoever reverts, then such are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

- Those - Ceux (pronounced: suh ) - This is the plural of "celui" which means "he" or "that one" in French. It's the subject of the sentence.

- who eat - qui mangent (pronounced: kee mahnj ) - "qui" means "who" and acts as a relative pronoun. "mangent" is the present tense of the verb "manger" which means "to eat."

- interest (riba) - l'intérêt (pronounced: lahn-tay-ray ) - "l'" is a definite article that means "the." "intérêt" is the noun "interest."

- will not stand - ne se lèveront pas (pronounced: nuh suh leh-vroh pah ) - "ne... pas" is the negative form of the verb. "se lèveront" is the future tense of the verb "se lever" which means "to stand up." Notice that "se" is a reflexive pronoun meaning that the action of the verb affects the subject.

- except - sauf (pronounced: soof ) - This word means "except" and is used to introduce an exception to the previous statement.

- as - comme (pronounced: koh-m ) - This word means "as" and is used to introduce a comparison.

- one - celui (pronounced: suh-lwee ) - This is the pronoun "he" or "that one."

(pronounced: lur ma-tre le ve-ri-tabl) Et ce qu'ils inventaient, (pronounced: e se kilz in-van-te) aura disparu d'eux. (pronounced: o-ra di-spa-ru de-z-eux)

- Chaque âme - This translates to "each soul" or "every individual"

- sera mise à l'épreuve - This translates to "will be tested" or "will be put to the test". The verb "mettre à l'épreuve" means "to test" or "to put to the test" and it is conjugated in the future tense to reflect the future event of the judgment day.

Grammar Note:

- The last part of the sentence uses the future perfect tense ("aura disparu") which indicates that something will be completed by a certain time in the future.

Pronunciation Note:

- In French, the letter "e" at the end of a word is often silent. This means that you do not pronounce it in everyday speech. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, the "e" in "être" (to be) is pronounced.

- The letter "s" at the end of a word is often silent as well.

- The letter "h" is always silent in French.

We have indeed established the Children of Israel in a firm dwelling place (mûbawwa'a sidq) (moo-bah-wah-ah sidq), and provided them with good things. They did not differ (ikhtalafu) (ik-tah-la-foo) until knowledge came to them. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that in which they differed (yakhtalifoon) (yahk-tah-lee-foon).

Grammar Rules:

- Firm dwelling place (mûbawwa'a sidq) is a noun phrase made up of two words: mûbawwa'a (dwelling place) and sidq (firm, true). This phrase is used here to describe a safe and secure place where the Israelites were established.

- Differed (ikhtalafu) is a past tense verb, meaning that they argued or disagreed.

- Differed (yakhtalifoon) is a present tense verb, meaning that they continue to argue or disagree.

The future tense in French is constructed using the future simple which is formed by adding -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont to the infinitive form of the verb.

French Translation:

Et Nous n'envoyons les messagers que pour annoncer la bonne nouvelle et mettre en garde. (eh noo-n-vwah-yuh lay meh-sah-jay k'uh p'oor ah-nuhn-say lah bonn nuh-vel eh met-ruh on gard)

- Et - And

- Nous - We

- n'envoyons - send (negation)

- les messagers - the messengers

- que - only

- pour - for

- annoncer - to announce

- la bonne nouvelle - the good news

- et - and

- mettre - to put

- en garde - on guard (warning)

Grammar Note: The French word "que" is used to emphasize the "only". This means that "Nous n'envoyons les messagers que..." is the same as "We ONLY send messengers..."

- “La meilleure destination” means “the best destination” in French.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- Pay attention to the nasal vowels “an” and “on” in words like "gens," "ont," "enfants," "trésors," and "bien".

- Remember that “s” is pronounced like “z” in “les gens,” “les femmes,” “les enfants,” “les chevaux,” and “les terres.”

Grammar Notes:

- The word "d'Allah" (of Allah) is used in the French translation to reflect the Arabic word for "Allah" in the original sentence.

- The sentence uses a lot of verbs in the past participle form. This is because they are being used with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) to form the perfect tense.

- The final part of the sentence uses the copula "est" (is) to connect the subject "Allah" with the adjectives "Pardonneur" (Forgiving) and "Miséricordieux" (Merciful).

English Translation:

Those who have believed, those who have emigrated, and those who have striven in the way of Allah - those are the ones who hope for the mercy of Allah. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

- évident - evident (pronunciation: eh-vee-dahn)

Grammar Points:

- **"Est-ce que" is used to ask questions in French. It is like saying "is it that" in English. It is often followed by a verb in the indicative mood. **

- "Ayons révélé" is the past participle of the verb "révéler" (to reveal), but used in the subjunctive mood. This is because it is used in a dependent clause expressing a desire or hope.

- "Les mécréants" is a plural noun that can be used to refer to those who are not believers in a particular religion.

- "Un pied ferme" is an idiom that means "a firm footing."

English Translation:

Was it a surprise to people that We revealed to a man from among them to warn them and to give good tidings to those who believe that they have a firm footing with their Lord? The disbelievers said, "This is truly an obvious magician!"

French Translation:

Où que vous soyez, la mort vous atteindra, même si vous étiez dans des tours fortifiées. Et si une bonne chose les atteint, ils disent : "Ceci vient d'Allah." Et si une mauvaise chose les atteint, ils disent : "Ceci vient de toi." Dis : "Tout vient d'Allah." Alors, pourquoi ces gens ne comprennent-ils presque jamais un discours ?

English Breakdown & Pronunciation:

- Où que vous soyez - No matter where you are (pronunciation: oo keh voo swah yay)

- la mort vous atteindra - death will reach you (pronunciation: la mor voo a-tan-dra)

- même si vous étiez dans des tours fortifiées - even if you were in fortified towers (pronunciation: mem si voo eh-tyay dahn day toor for-tee-fay)

- Et si une bonne chose les atteint - And if a good thing reaches them (pronunciation: eh si oon bon shoz lay a-tan)

- ils disent - they say (pronunciation: eel deez)

- Alors, pourquoi ces gens ne comprennent-ils presque jamais un discours ? - So, why do these people almost never understand a speech? (pronunciation: a-lor, poorkwa se zhan nu kom-pran-teel presk zha-may oon dis-koor?)

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the first clause "Où que vous soyez". The subjunctive is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain situation. The subjunctive mood is formed by conjugating the verb "être" (to be) in the subjunctive tense. The subjunctive tense is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain situation. In this case, the subjunctive mood is used to express the hypothetical situation that the people could be in any place.

- The sentence also uses the imperfect tense "étiez" in the first clause "même si vous étiez dans des tours fortifiées". The imperfect tense is used to describe an action or state that was ongoing in the past. In this case, the imperfect tense is used to describe the hypothetical situation that the people were in fortified towers.

- The sentence also uses the conditional tense "comprendraient" in the last clause "pourquoi ces gens ne comprennent-ils presque jamais un discours ?" The conditional tense is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain situation in the future. In this case, the conditional tense is used to express the hypothetical situation that the people would understand a speech.

I hope this breakdown helps you understand the French sentence!

Pronunciation Assistance:

The French pronunciation is based on the standard Parisian accent. Pay attention to the silent letters and the nasal vowels. Practice saying the words slowly and clearly, and don't be afraid to ask for help from a native speaker.

French Translation:

Et ils disent : "Quand donc cette promesse [arrivera-t-elle] si vous êtes véridiques ?"

Word for Word Breakdown and Pronunciation:

- Et (ay) - And

- disent (dee-zahn) - say, tell

- : (doo-pwan) - colon

- Quand (kahn) - When

- donc (dɔ̃k) - then, therefore

- cette (set) - this

- promesse (pro-mes) - promise

- [arrivera-t-elle] (a-ree-vrah-tel) - [will it arrive] - This is a grammatical construction in French that combines the verb "arriver" (to arrive) with the pronoun "elle" (it) and the question mark "t" to form a question about the future arrival of the promise.

- si (see) - if

- vous (voo) - you

- êtes (et) - are

- véridiques (ve-ree-deek) - truthful, sincere

Grammar Notes:

- This sentence is a question, so the order of the words is different from a statement.

- The verb "être" (to be) is conjugated in the plural form "êtes" to agree with the plural pronoun "vous" (you).

- The word "donc" adds emphasis to the question and implies a sense of impatience or doubt.

- The bracketed part "[arrivera-t-elle]" is a grammatical structure specific to French questions, and it's important to understand how it works.

English Translation:

And they say, "When then will this promise come if you are truthful?"

Grammar Note: In French, "pour que" (so that) is used to introduce a clause that explains the purpose of the action in the main clause. It's a common construction.

Pronunciation Assistance:

The French pronunciation can be a bit tricky, but practice makes perfect. You can find many resources online for French pronunciation, including videos and audio clips. Try focusing on the vowels and the liaison (linking) between words. For example, the "s" at the end of "ceux" is silent, but it links to the following vowel sound in "ont" creating a longer "o" sound.

French Translation:

Ils dirent: (eel dee-ruh) - They said

"Notre Seigneur, nous avons été injustes envers nous-mêmes. Et si Tu ne nous pardonnes pas et ne nous fais pas miséricorde, nous serons certainement parmi les perdants." (no-truh se-nyur, noo-za-vohn eh-tay eh-zhoost eh-voh nu-muh-meh. Eh si too nu noo par-don nuh pah eh nuh noo feh pah mee-zee-ree-kord, noo se-rohn ser-tehn-muh par-mee lay per-don.)

English Translation:

They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. And if You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will surely be among the losers."

Word for Word Explanation:

- Ils dirent: (eel dee-ruh) - They said. This is a common French phrase for "they said."

- "Notre Seigneur": (no-truh se-nyur) - Our Lord. "Notre" means "our" and "Seigneur" means "Lord."

- "nous avons été injustes": (noo-za-vohn eh-tay eh-zhoost) - We have been unjust. "Nous" means "we," "avons été" is the past participle of "être" (to be), and "injustes" means "unjust."

- "envers nous-mêmes": (ahn-vehr noo-muh-meh) - Towards ourselves. "Envers" means "towards," and "nous-mêmes" is the reflexive pronoun for "ourselves."

- "Et si Tu ne nous pardonnes pas": (eh si too nu noo par-don nuh pah) - And if You do not forgive us. "Et" means "and," "si" means "if," "Tu" means "You," "ne...pas" means "not," and "pardonnes" is the verb "pardonner" (to forgive) conjugated in the present tense.

- "et ne nous fais pas miséricorde": (eh nuh noo feh pah mee-zee-ree-kord) - And do not have mercy on us. "Ne...pas" means "not," "fais" is the verb "faire" (to make) conjugated in the present tense, and "miséricorde" means "mercy."

- "nous serons certainement": (noo se-rohn ser-tehn-muh) - We will surely be. "Nous" means "we," "serons" is the future tense of "être" (to be), and "certainement" means "surely."

- "parmi les perdants": (par-mee lay per-don) - Among the losers. "Parmi" means "among," "les" means "the," and "perdants" means "losers."

Grammar Rules:

- Pronoun Agreement: The pronoun "nous" (we) agrees in number and person with the verb "avons été" (have been), "pardonnes" (forgive), and "fais" (make). This means the verb conjugation must agree with the pronoun subject.

- Negative Construction: The negation is expressed using "ne...pas," placed before the verb.

- Reflexive Pronoun: The reflexive pronoun "nous-mêmes" (ourselves) is used to emphasize that the action is directed toward oneself.

- Future Tense: The future tense is used to indicate an action that will happen in the future.

Note:

This sentence reflects a prayerful plea for forgiveness and mercy. The emphasis is on the humility of the speakers and their fear of being among the losers if their request is not granted.

French Translation:

Ce ne sont que les croyants qui, lorsqu’on mentionne Allah, leurs cœurs sont remplis de crainte, et lorsqu’on leur récite Ses versets, cela fait augmenter leur foi, et ils se confient en leur Seigneur.

- et - and (pronounced: eh)

- ils se confient en leur Seigneur - they trust in their Lord (pronounced: eel suh kon-fyahn on lur seh-nyur)

Grammar Rules:

- Ce ne sont que is a French idiom used to emphasize that only a specific group possesses a certain quality.

- lorsqu’on mentionne and lorsqu’on leur récite are examples of French subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is used to express uncertainty, possibility, or a wish.

Pronunciation Tips:

- The French "r" is pronounced with the tongue slightly curled back in the mouth.

- The French "u" is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon".

- The French "e" at the end of a word is often silent, but it can be pronounced as a very short "uh" sound if it is followed by a consonant.

French Translation:

Dis à ton peuple, "Travaillez pour votre propre bien, car je travaille moi aussi. Vous saurez alors qui sera le maître de la demeure finale. En vérité, les injustes ne seront pas sauvés."

Breakdown:

Dis à ton peuple - Say to your people (pronounced: Dee zah ton poepl)

This is a direct address, similar to "tell your people" in English.

Travaillez pour votre propre bien - Work for your own good (pronounced: Tra-va-ye poor vo-truh pro-pruh bee-an)

This phrase emphasizes personal effort and responsibility.

Ils aspiraient à ce qu'ils ne pouvaient atteindre, et ils n'étaient contrariés que parce qu'Allah et Son Messager les avaient enrichis de Sa grâce.

Grammar Notes:

- Subjunctive mood: The sentence uses the subjunctive mood in "qu'ils n'ont pas dit cela" (that they haven't said that). The subjunctive is used after verbs like "jurer" (to swear) to express doubt or uncertainty.

- Negative construction: The sentence uses the "ne...pas" construction to form the negative in French. For example, "ils n'ont pas dit cela" (they have not said that).

- Prepositions: Notice the use of the preposition "par" (by) before Allah, and "de" (of) before "l'infidélité" (infidelity).

- Past participle: The verb "renoncé" (renounced) is in the past participle, which is used with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) to form compound tenses.

French Translation:

Il a dit: "En elle, vous vivez, et en elle, vous mourrez, et d'elle, vous serez ressuscités."

Pronunciation:

- Il (eel) - He

- a dit (a di) - said

- En (on) - in

- elle (el) - it/her

- vous (voo) - you (plural)

- vivez (vi-vay) - live (present tense, plural)

- et (eh) - and

- en (on) - in

- elle (el) - it/her

- vous (voo) - you (plural)

- mourez (moo-ray) - die (present tense, plural)

- et (eh) - and

- d'elle (del) - from it/her

- vous (voo) - you (plural)

- serez ressuscités (se-ray re-sus-si-tay) - will be resurrected (future tense, plural)

Breakdown:

- Il a dit: This is the past tense of the verb "dire" (to say). It translates to "He said".

- "En elle, vous vivez": This translates to "In it/her, you live". The word "elle" refers to something previously mentioned. "Vivez" is the present tense of the verb "vivre" (to live), and "vous" is the plural form of "you."

- "Et en elle, vous mourez": This translates to "And in it/her, you die." The structure is similar to the previous phrase, "vous mourez" is the present tense of the verb "mourir" (to die).

- "Et d'elle, vous serez ressuscités": This translates to "And from it/her, you will be resurrected." The word "d'elle" means "from it/her." "Serez ressuscités" is the future tense of the verb "ressusciter" (to resurrect), and "vous" is the plural form of "you".

Grammatical Note:

French uses the subjunctive mood after certain expressions. However, in this case, the indicative mood is used for the verbs "vivre", "mourir", and "ressusciter". This is because the sentence is a direct quotation, and the subjunctive mood is not needed when reporting what someone said.

French Translation:

Les hypocrites craignent qu'une sourate ne soit révélée à leur sujet, qui les informe de ce qu'il y a dans leurs cœurs. Dis: "Moquez-vous!" Allah fera sortir ce que vous craignez.

English Explanation and Breakdown:

- Les hypocrites: The hypocrites (pronounced "lay zee-poh-kreet") - This refers to those who pretend to be something they are not.

- craignent: fear (pronounced "kray-ny") - This is the verb "craindre" in the present tense, third person plural.

- qu'une sourate ne soit révélée à leur sujet: that a sura be revealed concerning them (pronounced "koo-n soo-raht nuh swa reh-veh-lay ah lur soo-jay") - The word "sourate" refers to a chapter in the Quran. This is a complex grammatical construction using the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical situation.

- qui les informe de ce qu'il y a dans leurs cœurs: which informs them of what is in their hearts (pronounced "kee layz en-form duh suh kee lee yah dan lur ker") - This is a relative clause that describes the sura.

- Dis: Say (pronounced "dee") - This is the imperative form of the verb "dire" (to say).

- "Moquez-vous!": "Mock them!" (pronounced "moh-kay-voo") - This is a direct address to the listener, telling them to mock the hypocrites.

- Allah: God (pronounced "ah-lah")

- fera sortir: will bring out (pronounced "fe-rah sohr-teer") - This is the future tense of the verb "sortir" (to bring out).

- ce que vous craignez: what you fear (pronounced "suh kuh voo kraynyay") - This is a relative pronoun referring back to the sura.

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical situation: "qu'une sourate ne soit révélée à leur sujet." This is common in French when talking about fears, doubts, or possibilities.

- The imperative form is used for commands or instructions: "Dis:" and "Moquez-vous!". This is usually followed by a direct object.

- The phrase "ce que vous craignez" is a relative pronoun clause that functions as the direct object of the verb "fera sortir."

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the nasal vowels in French, such as "on" in "Moquez-vous!" and "en" in "craignent."

- The "r" in French is often silent at the end of a word, but pronounced when followed by a vowel.

- The "s" at the end of a word is usually silent, but it can be pronounced when followed by a vowel.

French Translation:

Et ceux qui ont été les premiers à émigrer et les auxiliaires, et ceux qui les ont suivis avec bienfaisance, Allah a été satisfait d’eux et ils ont été satisfaits de Lui. Et Il a préparé pour eux des jardins où coulent les rivières, pour qu’ils y demeurent éternellement. C’est là le grand succès.

Word-for-Word Explanation:

- Et (ay) - And

- ceux qui ont été (sœ ki ɔ̃ te) - Those who have been

- les premiers à émigrer (le premie a emiɡre) - The first to emigrate

- et les auxiliaires (e le ɔksilieʁ) - And the auxiliaries

- et ceux qui les ont suivis (e sœ ki le ɔ̃ swivi) - And those who followed them

- avec bienfaisance (avek bjɛ̃fɛsɑ̃s) - With benevolence

- Allah a été satisfait d’eux (ala a ete satisfɛ daø) - Allah was satisfied with them

- et ils ont été satisfaits de Lui (e il ɔ̃ te satisfɛ də lɥi) - And they were satisfied with Him

- Et Il a préparé (e il a prepare) - And He has prepared

- C’est là le grand succès (se la le ɡʁɑ̃ syksɛ) - That is the great success

Grammar Rules:

- The use of “a” in the verb “a été” (to have been): The past participle “été” requires an auxiliary verb before it, which is “avoir” (to have). The verb “avoir” is conjugated in the past tense (a) since the subject is “Allah” which is singular.

- The preposition “de” after “satisfait”: The adjective “satisfait” (satisfied) requires the preposition “de” (of) after it followed by the object that the subject is satisfied with.

- The use of the conditional “pour qu’ils y demeurent”: The conditional tense is used to express a result or consequence in the future.

- The masculine definite article “le” before “grand succès”: The definite article agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. "Succès" is masculine, so it is preceded by the masculine singular definite article "le".

Pronunciation Assistance:

- émigrer: (e-mi-gre)

- auxiliaires: (o-ksi-li-ɛʁ)

- bienfaisance: (bjɛ̃-fɛ-sɑ̃s)

- satisfait: (sa-tis-fɛ)

- demeurent: (də-mœʁ)

- éternellement: (e-tɛʁ-nɛl-mɑ̃)

- succès: (syk-sɛ)

Additional Information:

This verse is from the Quran, a sacred text in Islam. It is about the rewards that God will bestow upon those who are faithful and follow His teachings.

French Translation:

Et comment pourrais-je craindre ce que vous associez [à Allah], alors que vous ne craignez pas d'associer à Allah ce qu'Il n'a pas fait descendre sur vous comme preuve ? Alors, lequel des deux groupes est le plus digne de sécurité, si vous savez ?

Grammar Note:

English Translation:

And how can I fear what you associate with [Allah], when you do not fear associating with Allah that which He has not revealed to you as a proof? So which of the two groups is more deserving of security, if you know?

- Remember to liai in French, connecting words that end in a consonant with words that start with a vowel. For example, "vers le ciel" is pronounced as "vair lu syel."

French Translation:

Qu'ils rient un peu et qu'ils pleurent beaucoup en récompense de ce qu'ils ont fait.

Word for Word Explanation with Pronunciation:

- Qu' (koo) - that

- ils (eel) - they

- rient (ree-ahn) - laugh (present subjunctive, 3rd person plural)

- un peu (uhn puh) - a little

- et (ay) - and

- qu' (koo) - that

- ils (eel) - they

- pleurent (ploo-rahn) - cry (present subjunctive, 3rd person plural)

Grammar Notes:

The sentence uses the subjunctive mood, which expresses a wish, possibility, or doubt. The subjunctive is used after expressions like "qu'ils" (that they), "il faut que" (it is necessary that), or "il est possible que" (it is possible that).

The verb "rire" (to laugh) is irregular in the present subjunctive, so the conjugation is "rient" (they laugh).

The verb "pleurer" (to cry) is regular in the present subjunctive, so the conjugation follows the standard pattern, "pleurent" (they cry).

The phrase "en récompense de" (in reward of) indicates the reason for the laughter and tears.

- In French, the verb "to be" (être) is used to express a state of being, unlike the English verb "to have". In this sentence, "se sont dégagés" uses the verb "être" to express the state of being disengaged.

- The verb "se dégager" is a reflexive verb. It means "to disengage oneself" and is used in this context because it signifies the act of separating oneself from something or someone.

- The word "Ainsi" is used to introduce a consequence or a result. In this case, it connects the regret of the followers with the act of Allah showing them their deeds.

Those who are stingy and order others to be stingy, and hide what Allah has given them of His bounty. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.

French Translation:

- Ceux qui sont avares - Those who are stingy (pronounced: suh kee sohn ah-vahr). "Ceux" means "those" and agrees in gender and number with the following noun "qui". "Qui" is a relative pronoun meaning "who" and refers back to "ceux." "Sont" is the third person plural form of the verb "être" (to be). "Avare" means stingy or miserly.

- et qui commandent aux gens d’être avares - and who order others to be stingy (pronounced: ay kee koh-mahn doh oh zhon deh-tray ah-vahr). "Et" means "and." "Qui" again is a relative pronoun referring back to "ceux" and functions as the subject of the verb "commandent." "Commandent" is the third person plural form of the verb "commander" (to order or command). "Aux gens" means "to the people." "D'être" means "to be."

- et qui cachent ce qu’Allah leur a donné de Sa grâce - and who hide what Allah has given them of His bounty (pronounced: ay kee kash suh kuh lah luhr ah doh-nay duh sah grahs). "Et" again means "and." "Qui" again is a relative pronoun referring back to "ceux" and functions as the subject of the verb "cachent." "Cachent" is the third person plural form of the verb "cacher" (to hide). "Ce" means "what." "Qu'" is a relative pronoun functioning as the direct object of "cachent" and refers back to "ce." "Allah" is the Arabic word for God and is capitalized in French because it is a proper noun. "Leur" is a possessive pronoun meaning "their." "A donné" is the third person plural form of the verb "donner" (to give). "De Sa grâce" means "of His bounty." The article "Sa" is singular because it refers back to Allah. It agrees with the noun "grâce" which is feminine.

- Et Nous avons préparé pour les incroyants un châtiment humiliant - And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment (pronounced: ay noo ah-vohn pra-pah-ray poor lay zang-kroy-ahn uh shah-tee-mahn you-mee-lyahn). "Et" means "and." "Nous" is the first person plural form of the pronoun "nous" (we) and is used to emphasize God's power. "A" is a preposition meaning "to" or "for." "Préparé" is the past participle of the verb "préparer" (to prepare). "Pour" is a preposition meaning "for." "Les incroyants" means "the disbelievers" and agrees in number and gender with the noun "châtiment." "Un" is an indefinite article meaning "a" and agrees in gender with "châtiment." "Châtiment" means "punishment." "Humiliant" is an adjective meaning "humiliating."

Grammar Notes:

- Relative Pronoun "Qui": The relative pronoun "qui" is used to connect clauses and is often translated as "who" or "that". It functions as the subject of the clause and agrees in gender and number with the noun it refers back to.

- Possessive Pronoun "Leur": The possessive pronoun "leur" is used to indicate possession and agrees in gender with the noun it modifies. It means "their".

Pronunciation Tips:

- Silent Letters: The letters "e" at the end of words and the letter "h" are often silent.

- Nasal Vowels: French has nasal vowels which are pronounced with the air coming out of your nose. They are represented by "n" or "m" at the end of a syllable. For example, "en" and "on" are pronounced differently from "in" and "on" in English.

- Liaison: Sometimes words are pronounced together even though they are written separately. For example, "et" is pronounced "ay" when it comes before a vowel sound.

Grammar Notes:

- “Nous leur avons dit” - This is a past perfect tense used to indicate a completed action in the past. In this case, the action of speaking is completed before the next action of taking what was given.

- "afin que" - This is a conjunction used to introduce a purpose clause. It means "so that" or "in order that" and is followed by a subjunctive mood in the verb.

- The French sentence is structured with a conditional tense, "qu’il allait" (that it was going to). This is used to describe an event that was likely to happen but did not. The conditional tense is often used in this way to describe hypothetical situations.

French Translation:

Ne savent-ils pas qu’ils cachent (littéralement: plient) leurs poitrines pour se cacher de lui ? (Ne sav-tel pa ki il kash leur puatrin pur se kash de lui ?)

Ne savent-ils pas qu’au moment où ils cachent (littéralement: enveloppent) leurs vêtements, il sait ce qu’ils cachent et ce qu’ils révèlent ? (Ne sav-tel pa ko o momen ou il kash leur vetman, il sa se kil kash e se kil revel ?) Car il est connaisseur du contenu des poitrines. (Kar il e konéssur du kontenyu de puatrin.)

Explanation:

The French sentence uses ne…pas which means "don't/not" and is an essential part of negation in French. It functions similarly to “do not” in English.

The verb savent (pronounced "sav" ) is the third person plural of the present tense of the verb savoir (to know). The ils (pronounced "il") is the subject pronoun "they."

cachent (pronounced "kash") is the present tense of the verb cacher (to hide). It is also used as a present participle, making it a type of gerund, like "hiding" in English.

plient (pronounced "pli") is the present tense of the verb plier (to fold). It is also used as a present participle, making it a type of gerund, like "folding" in English.

poitrines (pronounced "puatrin") is the plural form of poitrine (chest/breast).

se cacher (pronounced "se kash") is a reflexive verb which means "to hide oneself."

moment (pronounced "moman") is the noun "moment."

enveloppent (pronounced "anvelop") is the present tense of the verb envelopper (to wrap). It is also used as a present participle, making it a type of gerund, like "wrapping" in English.

vêtements (pronounced "vetman") is the plural noun "clothes/clothing."

sait (pronounced "sa") is the third person singular of the present tense of the verb savoir (to know).

cachent (pronounced "kash") is the present tense of the verb cacher (to hide). It is also used as a present participle, making it a type of gerund, like "hiding" in English.

révèlent (pronounced "revel") is the present tense of the verb révéler (to reveal). It is also used as a present participle, making it a type of gerund, like "revealing" in English.

connaisseur (pronounced "konéssur") is the noun "connoisseur" and it means "someone who is an expert in something."

contenu (pronounced "kontenyu") is the noun "content."

poitrines (pronounced "puatrin") is the plural form of poitrine (chest/breast).

Grammar Rules:

- French uses ne (pronounced "ne") and pas (pronounced "pa") to negate verbs. You can't simply use the word "not" like you do in English.

- French uses il (pronounced "il") for third person singular male subject pronouns and elle (pronounced "el") for third person singular female subject pronouns, while English uses the same word "it."

English Translation:

Don't they know that they hide their chests to conceal themselves from Him?

Don't they know that when they cover their clothes, He knows what they hide and what they reveal?

For He is the Knower of the contents of the chests.

French Translation:

Grammar Note: The French sentence uses the past tense "passé composé" which is a common way of expressing an action that has happened in the past. The passé composé is formed with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) and the past participle of the main verb. For example, "vinrent" is the past participle of the verb "venir" (to come) and "ont menti" is the past participle of the verb "mentir" (to lie).

Pronunciation Notes: The accent marks in French are important for pronunciation. For example, the word "mécru" has an accent on the "u" which makes it sound like "may-kru" rather than "meh-kru."

Ô vous qui croyez ! Pourquoi, lorsqu’on vous dit : "Partez au combat pour la cause d’Allah", vous sentez-vous alourdis et accasablés, comme si vous étiez attachés à la terre ?

Êtes-vous satisfaits de la vie d’ici-bas plutôt que de l’au-delà ?

Or, les biens de la vie d’ici-bas ne sont qu’un bien minime comparé à l’au-delà.

Word-for-Word Explanation in English:

Ô vous qui croyez ! - Ô vous qui croyez! (pronounced: "Oh voo kee kwah-rwa") - This is a direct address to the believers in the Arabic text.

Pourquoi, lorsqu’on vous dit : "Partez au combat pour la cause d’Allah", - Pourquoi, lorsqu'on vous dit : "Partez au combat pour la cause d'Allah" (pronounced: "Poo-kwah, lor-sk'on voo dee: "Par-tay oh kom-bah poo-r lah kohz d'Allah") - This is a rhetorical question that expresses surprise and disappointment.

vous sentez-vous alourdis et accasablés, comme si vous étiez attachés à la terre ? - vous sentez-vous alourdis et accasablés, comme si vous étiez attachés à la terre ? (pronounced: "voo san-tay voo a-loo-rdee eh ah-ka-sah-blay, kom si voo eh-tee-ay ah-tah-shay ah lah ter") - The phrase emphasizes the reluctance of some believers to respond to the call for jihad.

Êtes-vous satisfaits de la vie d’ici-bas plutôt que de l’au-delà ? - Êtes-vous satisfaits de la vie d’ici-bas plutôt que de l’au-delà ? (pronounced: "Eht-voo sah-tis-fay duh lah vee di-see-bah plo-toh keh duh lo-deh-lah") - This is another rhetorical question that highlights the folly of prioritizing worldly pleasures over the eternal life.

Or, les biens de la vie d’ici-bas ne sont qu’un bien minime comparé à l’au-delà. - Or, les biens de la vie d’ici-bas ne sont qu’un bien minime comparé à l’au-delà (pronounced: "Or, lay bee-an duh lah vee di-see-bah nu son ke-un bee-an mee-neem kom-pah-ray ah lo-deh-lah") - This verse compares the material possessions of this world to the eternal rewards of the afterlife, highlighting their insignificance in comparison.

Grammar Points:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in "vous sentez-vous alourdis" because it expresses a hypothesis or a doubt.

- "Or" is used to introduce a contrast between the temporary nature of worldly life and the eternal rewards of the afterlife.

- "comparé à" is a common French expression used for making comparisons.

Grammar Rules:

- Gender and Number Agreement: In French, adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For example, grande (great) is feminine singular to match preuve (proof), and autres (other) is plural to match dieux (gods).

- Subject-Verb Agreement: The verb must agree with its subject in number and person. For example, je témoigne (I testify) is singular because the subject is je (I). But vous témoignez (you testify) is plural because the subject is vous (you).

- Pronoun Placement: Object pronouns (me, you, him, her, etc.) come before the verb in French, while subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, etc.) come before the verb.

Pronunciation Tips:

- "eu" sound: This sound is like the "u" in "but" or "put"

- "oi" sound: This sound is like the "wa" in "water"

- "an" sound: This sound is like the "on" in "ton"

- "on" sound: This sound is like the "o" in "hot"

- "en" sound: This sound is like the "a" in "father"

- "un" sound: This sound is like the "u" in "sun"

Ce n'est que le report qui est un accroissement de l'incrédulité. Ceux qui ont mécru sont égarés par cela. Ils le rendent licite une année et le rendent illicite une année afin de faire correspondre le nombre de ce qu'Allah a interdit. Ils rendent donc licite ce qu'Allah a interdit. Leurs mauvaises actions leur ont été embellies. Et Allah ne guide pas les peuples incrédules.

English Translation:

It is only the postponement which is an increase in disbelief. Those who disbelieved are led astray by it.

- Allah is a proper noun, so it is capitalized.

This translation uses a slightly more formal tone than the original Arabic, which is common in French translations of religious texts.

French Translation:

Degrés de lui, et pardon, et miséricorde. Et Allah était Pardonneur, Miséricordieux.

English Breakdown & Pronunciation:

- Degrés de lui: This translates to "degrees of him" (duh-GRAY duh LUI)

Grammar Point:

- In French, adjectives often follow the noun they modify, unlike English.

- In this sentence, "Pardonneur" and "Miséricordieux" describe Allah, so they come after the noun.

Pronunciation Notes:

- The "e" at the end of words like "degrés" and "lui" is silent.

- The "r" sound in French is a soft, rolling sound, unlike the English "r."

- The accent mark on "était" is a grave accent, which changes the pronunciation of the "e" to a longer sound.

French Translation:

Comme la coutume des pharaons et de ceux qui les ont précédés, ils ont démenti Nos signes. Alors Allah les a punis pour leurs péchés. Et Allah est sévère en châtiment.

- "Les a punis" is in the past tense, indicating that the punishment has already happened.

- "Est sévère" is in the present tense, emphasizing that God's severity is a constant characteristic.

- "En châtiment" acts as an adverbial phrase, modifying the verb "est sévère."

French Translation:

Et d'autres sont en attente du décret d'Allah: soit Il les châtie, soit Il se repent envers eux. Et Allah est Omniscient et Sage. (pronounced: eh doh-truh sohn ahn at-tahn duh duh-kreh dah-lah: swa eel lay shah-tee, swa eel suh ruh-pahn ahn-vair eh. eh a-lah eh ohm-nee-see-ahn eh sahj)

- The phrase "envers eux" is a prepositional phrase that means "towards them." It is used to indicate the direction of Allah's repentance.

- The phrase "Allah est Omniscient et Sage" is a descriptive phrase that highlights the qualities of Allah.

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence is in the third person plural (Nous). This is the formal way to refer to God in French.

- The verb "contredit" is in the present tense.

- The verb "suivre" is in the present tense.

- The verb "laisserons aller" is in the future tense.

- The verb "admettrons" is in the future tense.

- The word "là" is a demonstrative adjective and refers to the place where the person has turned.

- The word "quelle" is an interrogative adjective and modifies the noun "destination".

Note: In French, the verb "to be" is often used with the verb "to have" in the past tense. This is because the verb "to have" has a more "active" meaning than the verb "to be". So, instead of saying "le droit chemin a été éclairci," you could also say "le droit chemin a été fait clair".

- The preposition “à cause de” is used to indicate the reason or cause of something.

Pronunciation Tips:

- The French language uses nasal vowels (like in “un”, “ont”, “on”), which are a bit tricky for English speakers. Try to pronounce the vowel while keeping your nose slightly open.

- The final consonants in French words are often silent. For example, “ceux” is pronounced "so" and not "sohz".

- Pay attention to the stressed syllable in each word. This can help you pronounce words more naturally.

The adjectives need to agree in gender and number with the noun they are modifying. In this case, they are modifying the noun "Dieu", which is masculine singular. So, the adjectives must also be masculine singular.

This phrase is a common Arabic phrase used in the Qur'an. It is known as the basmala and is often used to begin Islamic texts.

- Arabic Loan Words: The French language has adopted some Arabic loan words, such as "sourate" and "Allah." These words are pronounced according to French pronunciation rules.

This sentence is a good example of how French uses a lot of prepositions (like "dans" and "d'entre") and relative clauses to create complex and nuanced sentences.

Grammar Notes:

- The French "r" is often silent, especially at the end of a word.

- The "e" at the end of a word is often silent, unless it is followed by a consonant.

Grammar Note:

This sentence uses a complex sentence structure with multiple clauses connected by conjunctions like "et" (and) and "que" (that). Pay attention to the use of the subjunctive mood in the phrase "que celui qui a soumis sa face à Allah...".

This sentence demonstrates the use of the relative pronoun "qui" (who) to introduce relative clauses that provide additional information about the subject.

Et d'où que tu sortes, tourne ton visage vers la Mosquée Sacrée.

Ne les craignez donc pas, mais craignez-Moi, afin que Je parachève Mon bienfait sur vous et que vous puissiez être guidés.

English Breakdown with Pronunciation Assistance:

Et d'où que tu sortes, (And from where that you leave) - "Eh doo keh too sohr"

- This is a conjunction that introduces a subordinate clause. The pronoun "tu" is the informal "you" used when talking to one person.

tourne ton visage (turn your face) - "toorn ton vee-zahj"

- This is the imperative form of the verb "tourner" (to turn). "Ton" is the possessive adjective for "your" (singular).

vers la Mosquée Sacrée (towards the Sacred Mosque) - "vair la mos-kay sah-kray"

- "Vers" indicates direction. "Mosquée" is a feminine noun. "Sacrée" is an adjective meaning "sacred."

Et où que vous soyez, (And where that you are) - "Eh doo keh voo swa-yay"

- This clause is similar to the first, using the plural pronoun "vous" for "you" (plural).

tournez vos visages (turn your faces) - "toorn-nay vo vee-zahj"

- "Tournez" is the imperative form of "tourner" (to turn) in the plural.

vers elle, (towards it) - "vair el"

- "Vers" indicates direction. "Elle" is the feminine pronoun "it".

afin qu'il n'y ait pas d'argument contre vous (so that there is no argument against you) - "ah-fan kee-l nee-yay pah dahr-goo-mahn kon-tr voo"

- "Afin que" introduces a purpose clause. "Il n'y ait pas" is a negative construction with the subjunctive mood. "D'argument" is a noun meaning "argument".

de la part des gens, (from the part of the people) - "duh la par deh zhahn"

- This is a prepositional phrase indicating the source of the argument. "Des gens" is the plural of "person".

sauf ceux qui ont été injustes envers vous. (except those who have been unjust towards you) - "sof suh kee ohn aytay in-joost ahn-vair voo"

- "Sauf" means "except". "Ceux" is the plural of "celui" (that one). "Ont été injustes" is the past participle of the verb "être injuste" (to be unjust). "Envers" means "towards".

Ne les craignez donc pas, (Do not fear them then) - "neh lay kray-nay dohhn pah"

- This is a negative imperative. "Les" is the plural pronoun "them". "Craignez" is the imperative form of "craindre" (to fear).

mais craignez-Moi, (but fear Me) - "may kray-nay-mwa"

- This is a contrastive statement.

afin que Je parachève Mon bienfait sur vous (so that I complete My favor upon you) - "ah-fan keh zhuh pah-rah-shev mohn bee-an-fay syr voo"

- "Afin que" introduces a purpose clause. "Je parachève" is a verb in the subjunctive mood. "Mon bienfait" is a noun meaning "my favor". "Sur" means "upon".

et que vous puissiez être guidés. (and that you can be guided) - "eh keh voo pwee-yay eh-tr gee-day"

- This is a subordinate clause with the subjunctive mood. "Puissiez" is the subjunctive form of the verb "pouvoir" (to be able). "Être guidés" is a passive construction meaning "to be guided".

Note:

The French translation uses the formal "vous" (you plural) throughout the sentence, even when referring to one person. This is because the original Arabic text is addressing a general audience, including both singular and plural individuals.

- For example, "trahison" is pronounced "trah-ee-zon," with the emphasis on the second syllable.

- The "u" in "tu" is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon."

- The "e" in "le" is silent.

- Practice saying the words aloud to get a better grasp of the pronunciation.

Remember to continue practicing your French pronunciation and vocabulary. You can use online resources like YouTube videos or language learning apps to improve your skills.

French Translation:

Ils ne se défendaient pas du mal qu’ils avaient commis. C’était vraiment mauvais ce qu’ils faisaient.

Word-by-Word Explanation and Pronunciation:

- Ils (pronounced "eel") - They

- ne (pronounced "nuh") - not

- se (pronounced "suh") - reflexive pronoun, meaning "themselves"

- défendaient (pronounced "deh-fon-day") - past imperfect of "défendre" (to defend)

- pas (pronounced "pah") - not

- du (pronounced "du") - of the

- mal (pronounced "mahl") - evil, wrong, harm

- qu' (pronounced "kuh") - that

- ils (pronounced "eel") - they

- avaient (pronounced "ah-veh") - past participle of "avoir" (to have)

- commis (pronounced "koh-mee") - past participle of "commettre" (to commit)

- C’était (pronounced "seh-tay") - It was

- vraiment (pronounced "vray-mon") - truly, really

- mauvais (pronounced "moh-veh") - bad

- ce (pronounced "suh") - this

- qu' (pronounced "kuh") - that

- ils (pronounced "eel") - they

- faisaient (pronounced "feh-zay") - past imperfect of "faire" (to do)

Grammar Notes:

- The past imperfect tense in French is used to describe actions that were ongoing or habitual in the past. Here, it is used to describe the continuous nature of their wrongdoings.

- "Se défendre" (to defend oneself) is a reflexive verb, which requires the use of the reflexive pronoun "se."

- "C'était" is a contraction of "ce était," meaning "it was."

- "Qu'" is a relative pronoun that introduces a subordinate clause. The "qu'" is used in this case because it precedes a verb ("faisaient").

English Translation:

They did not defend themselves from the evil they had committed. It was truly bad what they were doing.

French Translation:

Ils dirent : "Repoussez-le (Moïse) et son frère, et envoyez dans les villes des collecteurs." (eel deer "re-poo-say-luh (mwa-ez) eh so frair eh an-voy-ay dan lay veel day ko-lek-tur")

English Explanation:

- Ils (eel) - They (plural subject pronoun)

- dirent (deer-on) - said (past tense of "dire" - to say)

- : "Repoussez-le" (re-poo-say-luh) - "Push him back" (imperative verb "repousser" - to push back, conjugated in the second person plural, with the direct object pronoun "le" - him)

- (Moïse) (mwa-ez) - (Moses) - proper noun

- et (eh) - and (conjunction)

- son frère (so frair) - his brother (possessive adjective "son" - his, masculine singular, followed by the noun "frère" - brother)

- et (eh) - and (conjunction)

- envoyez (an-voy-ay) - send (imperative verb "envoyer" - to send, conjugated in the second person plural)

- dans (dan) - in (preposition)

- les villes (lay veel) - the cities (definite article "les" - the, feminine plural, followed by the noun "villes" - cities)

- des (day) - some (partitive article, used before a noun with a plural meaning, here "collecteurs")

- collecteurs (ko-lek-tur) - collectors (noun, masculine plural)

Grammar Notes:

- In French, verbs are often conjugated differently based on the subject pronoun. In this case, the subject is "ils" (they), so the verbs are conjugated in the second person plural.

- The direct object pronoun "le" (him) is used to clarify that the action of pushing back is directed at Moses.

- The partitive article "des" is used when referring to an unspecified quantity of something. Here, it is not a specific number of collectors, but rather an idea of collecting in general.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- "Repoussez-le" is pronounced "re-poo-say-luh" with the stress on the first syllable of "repousser" and the last syllable of "le."

- "Moïse" is pronounced "mwa-ez" with the stress on the first syllable.

- "Frère" is pronounced "frair" with the stress on the first syllable.

- "Envoyez" is pronounced "an-voy-ay" with the stress on the second syllable.

- "Villes" is pronounced "veel" with the stress on the first syllable.

- "Collecteurs" is pronounced "ko-lek-tur" with the stress on the first syllable.

Note: The translation is a literal interpretation of the Arabic sentence and may not be the most natural-sounding French sentence. A more natural translation could be: "Ils ont dit de repousser Moïse et son frère et d’envoyer des collecteurs dans les villes."

N'est-ce pas qu'on leur a rapporté l'histoire de ceux qui les ont précédés, le peuple de Noé, et Ad, et Thamud, et le peuple d'Abraham, et les habitants de Madyan, et les villes qui ont été détruites ?

** leurs messagers leur sont venus avec des preuves évidentes. **

**Mais Allah ne les a pas opprimés ; ce sont eux-mêmes qui se sont opprimés. **

Word by Word Explanation:

N'est-ce pas qu'on leur a rapporté - Isn't it that they have been told - (n'est-ce pas - (neh-tay-pah) - isn't it. qu'on - (kon) - that one - leur - (lur) - to them - a rapporté - (a-ra-por-tay) - has reported) l'histoire de ceux qui les ont précédés - the story of those who came before them - (l'histoire - (lee-stwar) - the story - de (duh) - of - ceux - (suh) - those - qui (kee) - who - les (lay) - them - ont précédés - (ohn pre-say-day) - have preceded ) le peuple de Noé - the people of Noah - (le peuple - (luh puh-pl) - the people - de (duh) - of - Noé - (no-ay) - Noah)

Grammar:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the first part: "N'est-ce pas qu'on leur a rapporté..." The subjunctive mood is used to express doubt, possibility, or uncertainty. Here, it's used to express doubt about the fact that these people were warned of the consequences of their actions.

- The phrase "ce sont eux-mêmes qui se sont opprimés" is a complex sentence with two clauses:

- "ce sont eux-mêmes" - this is a subject-verb agreement, meaning it is they themselves

- "qui se sont opprimés" - a relative clause describing the subject they themselves

- In French, verbs that are conjugated with "être" (to be) require the past participle to agree with the subject of the sentence. Here, the past participle "opprimés" is in the masculine plural form because the subject is eux-mêmes (they themselves).

French Translation:

Ô vous qui croyez, ne mangez pas l'usure, multipliée plusieurs fois. Et craignez Allah, afin que vous réussissiez.

Word for Word Explanation:

Ô vous qui croyez - "Oh you who believe" - *pronounced "Oh voo kee kwah krwaw" - This is an invocation, calling out to those who have faith.

ne mangez pas - "do not eat" - pronounced "nuh mon-jay pah" - The verb manger means "to eat" and ne pas means "not".

l'usure - "interest, usury" - pronounced "loo-zeer" - This refers to the practice of lending money with high interest rates.

multipliée plusieurs fois - "multiplied many times" - pronounced "moul-tee-plie-ay ploo-zyeur fwah" - Multipliée is the past participle of the verb multiplier (to multiply) and plusieurs fois means "many times".

Et craignez Allah - "And fear Allah" - pronounced "ay kra-nyay a-lah" - This is an imperative, commanding the believers to fear God.

afin que vous réussissiez - "so that you may succeed" - pronounced "ah-fan kuh voo ray-yoo-see-ay" - This is a conditional clause, expressing the consequence of fearing Allah. réussir means "to succeed".

Grammar Notes:

- "Ô vous qui croyez" is a vocative phrase, used to address a specific group of people.

- "ne mangez pas" is a negative imperative, commanding someone not to do something.

- "afin que" is a conjunction used to introduce a purpose clause.

- "vous réussissiez" is a subjunctive verb, used to express a wish or hope.

English Translation:

O you who believe, do not consume usury, multiplied many times. And fear Allah, so that you may succeed.

French Translation:

Ô vous qui croyez, dépensez de ce que Nous vous avons donné, avant qu'il n'arrive un jour où il n'y aura ni commerce, ni amitié, ni intercession. Et les mécréants sont les injustes.

English Breakdown:

Ô vous qui croyez - O you who believe (addressing believers) / Oh voo kee kwah-روا

dépensez - spend, give (imperative verb) / day-pawn-say

Et les mécréants - And the disbelievers / ay lay may-kray-ahn

sont les injustes - are the unjust / son lay in-zhoost

Grammar Notes:

- "avant qu'il n'arrive" is a subjunctive clause because it expresses a condition that is uncertain. It's important to use the subjunctive after "avant que" in French.

- "il n'y aura" uses the negative "ne... pas" construction, but in this case, the "pas" is omitted because of the "ni" before each noun.

- "sont les injustes" is a simple sentence in the present tense.

This sentence is a reminder to believers to spend their wealth generously, before the Day of Judgment. The emphasis is on the urgency of this act of charity and the consequences of failing to do so.

Word by Word Explanation:

- puis ils s'en détournent. - This translates to "then they turn away". The pronunciation is "pyee eel son deh-toor-n".

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence starts with the imperative "Dites" which translates to "Say". Imperatives are used to give commands or instructions.

- The phrase "Avez-vous vu?" uses the verb "avoir" (to have) and the past participle "vu" (seen).

- The phrase "puis ils s'en détournent" uses the pronoun "ils" (they) and the verb "détourner" (to turn away) in the reflexive form "s'en détournent". This means that "they turn away from something".

English Translation:

"Say: 'Have you seen? If Allah takes away your hearing and your sight and seals your hearts, who is God other than Allah who will restore them to you?' Look how We explain the verses, yet they turn away."

French Translation:

Dis donc, c'est à Allah qu'appartient la preuve irréfutable. S'il l'avait voulu, Il vous aurait tous guidés.

Word-for-word explanation:

- Dis donc (dee-donk): This is a way of saying "Say" or "Tell me". It's a casual way of starting a sentence, used when talking to someone directly.

- c'est à Allah qu'appartient la preuve irréfutable (say-tah-lah-kay-tah-preev-eer-ree-fyoo-tah-bl): This is a bit more complex. Let's break it down:

- C'est (say): This means "it is". It's a contraction of "ce est" (seh eh).

- à Allah (ah-lah): This means "to Allah". The preposition "à" (ah) is used here to show belonging. It's like saying "belongs to".

- qu'appartient (koo-tah-par-tee-nay): This is the verb "appartenir" (ah-par-teh-neer) meaning "to belong". It is conjugated in the present tense, third person singular, which refers to "it" or "he/she" in English. In this sentence, it refers to the "preuve irréfutable".

- la preuve irréfutable (lah-preev-eer-ree-fyoo-tah-bl): This is the noun phrase "the irrefutable proof".

- S'il l'avait voulu (seel-lah-veh-voo-loo): This means "If He had wanted" or "If He willed it".

- S'il (seel): This is a contraction of "Si il" (see eel) meaning "if he". The pronoun "il" (eel) refers to Allah here.

- l'avait (lah-veh): This is the past perfect tense of the verb "avoir" (ah-vwar) meaning "to have". It's a little tricky, but it basically means "had" in this context. "L'" is the contraction of "le" (luh) which is the masculine direct object pronoun referring to "la preuve irréfutable" from the previous phrase.

- voulu (voo-loo): This is the past participle of the verb "vouloir" (voo-lwar) meaning "to want" or "to will".

- Il vous aurait guidés (eel-voo-zoh-reh-gee-day): This means "He would have guided you".

- Il (eel): This means "He". It refers to Allah.

- vous (voo): This means "you". It's the plural form of "tu" (too) and is used for "you" when addressing multiple people.

- aurait (oh-reh): This is the conditional past tense of the verb "avoir" (ah-vwar) meaning "to have". It's similar to "would have".

- guidés (gee-day): This is the past participle of the verb "guider" (gee-day) meaning "to guide".

Grammar Notes:

The phrase "c'est à Allah qu'appartient la preuve irréfutable" uses the structure "c'est à + noun + qu'appartient + noun". This is a common structure in French to emphasize possession. You could translate it as "It is to + noun + that belongs + noun".

The phrase "S'il l'avait voulu" uses the conditional past tense, which expresses an unrealized condition or hypothetical scenario in the past. It is constructed with the conditional past tense of the verb "avoir" (avoir + the conditional past ending -ait or -aient) plus the past participle of the main verb.

You will also notice that in both phrases, the words "Allah" and "preuve" are feminine nouns. This means that the articles, adjectives, and pronouns that accompany them will be feminine.

I hope this explanation helps you understand the sentence better!

French Translation:

En vérité, Allah ne lui échappe rien sur terre et dans le ciel.

Breakdown:

- En vérité (on vray-tee) - This phrase emphasizes the truth of the following statement. It is equivalent to "Indeed" or "Truly" in English.

- Allah (a-la) - The Arabic word for God.

- ne lui échappe rien (nuh loo-ee-shap ree-an) - This is a negative construction meaning "nothing escapes Him."

- sur terre (soor ter) - "on earth"

- et dans le ciel (ay dah lah see-el) - "and in the sky"

Grammar Notes:

- This sentence uses the negative construction "ne...rien" which is common in French. It is similar to the English construction "not...anything."

- The phrase "ne lui échappe rien" uses the dative pronoun "lui" which refers back to Allah. It is used to indicate that Allah is the one to whom nothing escapes.

English Translation:

Indeed, Allah knows everything on earth and in heaven.

French Translation:

Et Nous leur avons montré un chemin droit.

English Breakdown:

- Et - And (pronounced: eh)

- Nous - We (pronounced: noo)

- leur - them (pronounced: lur)

- avons - have (pronounced: a-vuh)

- montré - shown (pronounced: mohn-tray)

- un - a (pronounced: un)

- chemin - path/way (pronounced: shuh-min)

- droit - straight/right (pronounced: drwa)

Grammar Note: In French, we use the verb "avoir" (to have) in the compound past tense, as in "Nous avons montré" to express a past action. The past participle "montré" changes to agree with the subject "Nous," so it becomes "montré" instead of "montrée."

English Translation:

And We have shown them a straight path.

French Translation:

Dites: (Dee-tay) Say

- The letter "t" is generally silent when it is at the end of a word, but it can be pronounced if it is followed by a word that starts with a vowel. For example, "et toi" would be pronounced as "eh-twah" because the "o" in "toi" follows the "t" in "et".

- The letter "r" is always pronounced, even at the end of a word.

The subject pronoun "vous" (you) takes the conjugation "êtes". The subject pronoun "il/elle/on" (he/she/one) takes the conjugation "est".

- The verb "avoir" (to have) is conjugated differently in the present tense depending on the subject pronoun. The subject pronoun "tu" (you) takes the conjugation "as".

Additional Notes:

- This text is taken from the Quran and is referring to the rules of prayer in Islam.

- The word "prendre" (to take) can be conjugated in different ways depending on the subject pronoun. In this case, it is conjugated as "prennent" because the subject is plural.

Explanation:

This passage is a direct translation of a verse from the Quran. The French translation utilizes the pronoun "Il" (He) for "God," as it is considered more respectful and formal.

There are a few important grammar notes:

- "Dis" is the French equivalent of the Arabic "قل". It is a command, meaning "say".

- "A interdit" is the past participle of the verb "interdire" (to forbid). It is used with the subject pronoun "qui" (who) to form a question.

- "elles sont" is the third person plural of the verb "être" (to be). It is used with the pronoun "elles" (they) to describe the "beautés de Dieu".

- "Ainsi" is an adverb meaning "thus" or "like this". It is used to introduce the explanation of the verses.

English Translation:

Say:

Who

has forbidden

the beauties

of God

which He has brought forth

for His servants

and the good things

of sustenance?

Say:

They are

for those

who have believed

in the life of this world

exclusively

on the Day of Resurrection.

Thus

We explain

the verses

for a people

who know.

French Translation:

Des preuves claires (dé-prœv kleːr) vous sont venues de votre Seigneur (dœ vɔtʁ sɛɲœr). Celui qui voit (səlœ ki vwa), c'est pour lui-même (sɛ puʁ lwi mɛm), et celui qui est aveugle (ɛ səlœ ki ɛ avœɡl), c'est contre lui (sɛ kɔ̃tʁ lwi). Je ne suis pas votre gardien (ʒə nə sɥi pa vɔtʁ ɡaʁdjɛ̃).

English Breakdown:

- Des preuves claires - "des" is the plural definite article meaning "the" (pronounced "dɛ"). "preuves" is the plural form of "preuve" meaning "evidence, proof" (pronounced "prœv"). "claires" is the plural form of "claire" meaning "clear, obvious" (pronounced "klɛːr").

- vous sont venues - This is a passive sentence construction in French. "vous" is the plural pronoun meaning "you" (pronounced "vu"). "sont" is the plural form of "être" meaning "to be" (pronounced "sɔ̃"). "venues" is the past participle of the verb "venir" meaning "to come" (pronounced "vəny").

- de votre Seigneur - "de" is a preposition meaning "from" (pronounced "dœ"). "votre" is the possessive adjective meaning "your" (pronounced "vɔtʁ"). "Seigneur" is the noun meaning "Lord" (pronounced "sɛɲœr").

- Celui qui voit - "Celui" is the masculine singular pronoun meaning "he" (pronounced "səlœi"). "qui" is the relative pronoun meaning "who" (pronounced "ki"). "voit" is the third person singular form of the verb "voir" meaning "to see" (pronounced "vwa").

- et celui qui est aveugle - "et" is the conjunction meaning "and" (pronounced "ɛ"). "aveugle" is the adjective meaning "blind" (pronounced "avœɡl").

- c'est contre lui - "contre" is a preposition meaning "against" (pronounced "kɔ̃tʁ").

- Je ne suis pas votre gardien - "Je" is the first person singular pronoun meaning "I" (pronounced "ʒə"). "ne" is the negative particle (pronounced "nə"). "suis" is the first person singular form of the verb "être" meaning "to be" (pronounced "sɥi"). "pas" is the negative adverb meaning "not" (pronounced "pa").

French Translation:

Et ils dirent : "Nos cœurs sont enveloppés." Mais non ! Allah les a maudits pour leur incrédulité. Ils croiront donc peu.

English Breakdown:

- Et ils dirent : They said (et = and, ils = they, dirent = said)

- "Nos cœurs sont enveloppés." "Our hearts are sealed." (nos = our, cœurs = hearts, sont = are, enveloppés = sealed)

- Mais non ! But no! (mais = but, non = no)

- Allah les a maudits Allah has cursed them. (Allah = God, les = them, a = has, maudits = cursed)

- pour leur incrédulité. for their disbelief. (pour = for, leur = their, incrédulité = disbelief)

- Ils croiront donc peu. They will therefore believe little. (ils = they, croiront = will believe, donc = therefore, peu = little)

Pronunciation Assistance:

- Et ils dirent: Eh eel dee-ron

- "Nos cœurs sont enveloppés." "Noh keuhr sohn ahn-vloh-peh"

- Mais non ! Meh nohn!

- Allah les a maudits A-lah lay-zah mo-dee

- pour leur incrédulité. poor leur ahn-kray-doo-lee-tay

- Ils croiront donc peu. Eel kroa-ron dohnk puh

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence structure is a bit different from the English structure.

- The subject (ils - they) often comes before the verb (dirent - said).

- Note that the a in "Allah les a maudits" is a linking verb, meaning it connects the subject (Allah) to the verb (maudits - cursed).

This is a good example of how a sentence can be rearranged in French compared to English without changing the meaning.

French Translation:

Et si une partie d'entre vous croit en ce avec quoi j'ai été envoyé, et une partie ne croit pas, alors soyez patients jusqu'à ce qu'Allah juge entre nous. Et Il est le meilleur des juges.

Word-for-Word Explanation and Pronunciation Assistance:

- Et (ay) - And

- si (see) - If

- une partie (oon par-tee) - a part

- d'entre vous (d'ontr voo) - among you (the "d" in d'entre is silent)

- croit (krwa) - believes

- en ce (on suh) - in that

- avec quoi (av-ek kwa) - with which

- j'ai été envoyé (jay eh-tay on-voy-ay) - I was sent

- et (ay) - and

- une partie (oon par-tee) - a part

- ne croit pas (nuh krwa pah) - does not believe

- alors (a-lor) - then

- soyez patients (swa-yay pah-syan) - be patient

- jusqu'à ce que (zhoo-skah suh kuh) - until

- Et (ay) - and

- Il (eel) - He

- est (eh) - is

- le meilleur (luh me-yur) - the best

- des juges (day zhoozh) - of the judges

Grammar Note: In French, we use the subjunctive mood after certain conjunctions, such as "si" (if) and "jusqu'à ce que" (until). Here, "croit" (believes) and "juge" (judges) are in the subjunctive mood because they follow these conjunctions.

Pronunciation Tip: Remember that the "e" at the end of most French words is silent. This is why words like "croit" and "juge" sound like "krwa" and "zhoozh" respectively.

English Translation:

And if a part of you believe in that with which I have been sent, and a part of you do not believe, then be patient until Allah judges between us. And He is the best of judges.

French Translation:

Ceux qui ont dit: "Dieu est le troisième de trois", ont vraiment mécru. (say koo kee ohn dee "Dyew eh lay twah-zee-aym duh trwah", ohn vrae-mahn may-kroo)

Il n'y a pas de dieu, excepté Dieu seul. (eel ny ah pah duh dyew, ek-sep-tay Dyew seul)

Et si, ils ne cessent pas de dire ce qu'ils disent, ceux qui ont mécru parmi eux, seront touchés par un châtiment douloureux. (ay see, eel nuh sess pah duh deer suh kee eel dees, suh kee ohn may-kroo par-mee uh, suh-rohn too-shay par uh sha-tee-mahn doo-loo-ruh)

Breakdown:

- Ceux - Those (pronounced: suh)

- qui - who (pronounced: kee)

- ont vraiment mécru - have truly disbelieved (pronounced: ohn vrae-mahn may-kroo)

- Il n'y a pas de dieu - There is no god (pronounced: eel ny ah pah duh dyew)

- par un châtiment - by a punishment (pronounced: par uh sha-tee-mahn)

- douloureux - painful (pronounced: doo-loo-ruh)

Grammar Notes:

- "Ceux qui ont dit..." is a relative clause. "Ceux" is the antecedent, and "qui ont dit" is the relative clause, modifying "ceux."

- "Il n'y a pas de dieu..." uses the negative construction "il n'y a pas de..." meaning "there is no..."

- "Et si... ils ne cessent pas..." is a conditional clause. "Si" introduces the condition, and "ils ne cessent pas" is the verb in the conditional clause.

- "ceux qui ont mécru parmi eux" is another relative clause, with "ceux" as the antecedent and "qui ont mécru" as the relative clause.

- "seront touchés" is a future tense verb.

- "un châtiment douloureux" is a noun phrase.

Pronunciation Tips:

- The French "u" is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon."

- The French "eu" is pronounced like the "uh" in "fur."

- The French "r" is pronounced like the "r" in "car."

- The French "s" at the end of a word is often silent.

- The French "t" at the end of a word is often silent.

- The French "n" at the end of a word is often silent.

- The French "e" at the end of a word is often silent.

This translation uses the formal "vous" form, which is typically used for addressing someone in a formal context.

This structure is followed by a final statement that emphasizes the stark difference between the two things being compared.

French Translation:

Voici, vous avez argumenté sur ce que vous savez, alors pourquoi argumentez-vous sur ce que vous ne savez pas ? Et Dieu sait, et vous ne savez pas.

English Breakdown:

- Voici, (vo-see) - Behold, here, this is

- vous (voo) - you

- avez (av-ay) - have

- argumenté (ar-gyu-man-tay) - argued

- sur (soor) - on, about

- ce (suh) - that

- que (kuh) - which, that

- vous (voo) - you

- savez (sav-ay) - know

- alors (a-lor) - then, so

- pourquoi (poor-kwah) - why

- argumentez-vous (ar-gyu-man-tay-voo) - do you argue

- sur (soor) - on, about

- ce (suh) - that

- que (kuh) - which, that

- sait (say) - knows

- et (ay) - and

- vous (voo) - you

- ne (nuh) - not

- savez (sav-ay) - know

- pas (pah) - not

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence follows a similar structure to the English sentence.

- The use of "vous" (you) in the French sentence is formal, and would be used when addressing a group of people.

- The verb "argumenter" is in the present tense.

- The pronoun "vous" (you) is placed after the verb "argumentez-vous" in the interrogative form.

- The word "pas" is a negation, meaning "not." The "ne" is an auxiliary word used before the verb to form the negative.

- The conjunction "et" (and) connects the two clauses.

- The use of "sait" (knows) in the sentence about God is in the present tense. "Dieu" is a masculine noun, so the verb agrees in gender and number.

French: Sauf ceux qui ont fait preuve de patience et accompli de bonnes actions, ceux-là auront le pardon et une grande récompense. ( Sauf * - except/save, ceux - those, qui - who, ont fait preuve de patience - showed patience, accompli - accomplished, de bonnes actions - good deeds, ceux-là - those, auront - will have, le pardon - forgiveness, et - and, une grande récompense* - great reward.) Pronunciation:

- Sauf ( soof )

- Ceux ( suh )

- qui ( kee )

- ont fait preuve de patience ( ohn feh pruv duh pah-tee-awns )

- accompli ( ah-kom-plee )

- de bonnes actions ( duh bon ahk-see-ohn )

- ceux-là ( suh-lah )

- auront ( oh-ron )

- le pardon ( luh pahr-dawn )

- et ( eh )

- une grande récompense ( uhn grawnd reh-kom-pahnse )

English: Except those who have been patient and done good deeds, for them there will be forgiveness and a great reward.

Grammar Note:

The French sentence uses a construction called "sauf ceux qui...", which is equivalent to "except those who..." in English. This construction is used to introduce an exception to a general statement.

French Translation:

- Nous, (noo) - We

- avons sauvé, (ah-vohn soh-vay) - have saved - The past participle "sauvé" agrees in gender and number with the subject "Nous" (we).

- ceux, (suh) - those

French Translation:

Et Ismaël, et Jésus, et Jonas, et Lot ; et tous, Nous les avons favorisés par rapport aux mondes.

Word for Word Explanation:

- Et (ay) - and

- Ismaël (ees-ma-el) - Ishmael

Grammar Points:

- The French use the definite article "les" (the) in front of the pronoun "nous" when it is followed by a direct object pronoun.

- The French use the preposition "par rapport à" (by relation to) to express comparison. It is like saying "compared to".

This sentence is a complex sentence in French. It contains several clauses connected by conjunctions.

French Translation:

Dites, ô gens du Livre, est-ce que vous nous en voulez, seulement parce que nous croyons en Allah et en ce qui nous a été révélé, et en ce qui a été révélé avant nous? Et la plupart d'entre vous sont des transgresseurs.

Word-for-Word Explanation:

- Dites (dee-tuh) - Say, tell

- ô (oh) - Oh, a call for attention. It is often used before a person or a group of people.

- gens du Livre (zhon duh lee-vr) - People of the Book. This refers to Jews and Christians who have a holy book.

- la plupart d'entre vous (lah pluh-pahr dahn-truh voo) - most of you, the majority of you.

- sont des transgresseurs (sohn deh trahn-greh-sehr) - are transgressors, are sinners.

Grammar Notes:

- Dites is the imperative form of the verb "dire" (to say).

- nous en voulez is a compound verb. "En vouloir" means "to want to punish someone".

- la plupart d'entre vous is a phrase that means "most of you".

- sont des transgresseurs is a plural noun phrase. "Transgresseurs" means "transgressors".

This sentence uses a lot of conditional and interrogative clauses, which can be challenging to grasp for English speakers. It is important to break down the sentence into smaller parts and understand the meaning of each part before putting it all together.

French Translation:

Les gens étaient une seule communauté, puis Allah a envoyé les prophètes, porteurs de bonnes nouvelles et d'avertissements, et a fait descendre avec eux le Livre en vérité, afin qu'il juge entre les gens sur ce en quoi ils étaient en désaccord. Et ils n'ont été en désaccord sur cela que ceux à qui il a été donné après que les preuves leur sont parvenues, par esprit de compétition entre eux.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- French pronunciation emphasizes syllables differently than English. Pay attention to the stressed syllable, which is usually the last syllable in a word.

- The "r" sound is often pronounced as a soft, slightly guttural sound.

- The French uses "elle" (it) to refer back to "le feu de l'enfer" (the fire of hell)

Grammar Notes

*The French verb "ravir" can mean "to snatch" or "to ravish"

*The French word "vue" is feminine and takes the feminine article "la."

*The French phrase "sur le point de" means "about to."

*The French sentence "il aurait enlevé leur ouïe et leur vue" uses the conditional tense to express a hypothetical situation.

Pronounciation Tips

*The letter "e" at the end of a word in French is usually silent unless it is followed by a consonant.

*The letter "u" in French is usually pronounced as "oo" in English, except when it is followed by a consonant.

*The letter "r" in French is pronounced with the back of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth.

- The phrase "sans raison" acts as an adverbial phrase, modifying the verb "meurtre."

- est (eh) - is

Grammar Rules:

- "S'ils te démentent" - The verb "démentent" is conjugated in the third person plural of the present indicative tense. This conjugation applies when the subject is "ils" (they).

- "Votre Seigneur est doté d'une miséricorde immense" - The verb "est" is conjugated in the third person singular of the present indicative tense. This conjugation applies when the subject is "Seigneur" (Lord).

- "Son châtiment ne sera pas détourné des gens criminels" - The verb "sera" is conjugated in the third person singular of the future simple tense. This conjugation applies when the subject is "châtiment" (punishment).

Pronounciation:

Pay attention to the "s" sound in "ils" and "des". It's a soft "s" like the "s" in "see" or "sea."

- "s'ils" should sound like "seel" (rhymes with "feel")

- "des" should sound like "day" (rhymes with "say").

English Translation:

“So if they deny you, say, ‘Your Lord is endowed with vast mercy, and His punishment will not be turned away from the criminal people.’”

French Translation:

Word-for-Word Breakdown:

- Beaucoup: Beaucoup (bo-koo)

- Allah est capable de toute chose: Allah est capable de toute chose (al-lah eh-ka-pa-bl-deh-toot-shoz) - Allah is capable of everything

Grammar Note:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the phrase "aimeraient vous ramener". The subjunctive is used to express a wish, a desire, or a doubt.

- The word "leur" (them) is used in the sentence instead of "vous" (you) because the context refers to the people of the Book who are trying to bring the believers back to disbelief.

Pronunciation Guidance:

- The French "r" is pronounced with a slight raspiness.

- The "u" in "vous" is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon".

- The "e" at the end of words is often silent, but it can give a slight lilt to the word.

- Practice saying the words slowly and clearly.

Remember, practice makes perfect! Don't hesitate to ask me for any further clarification or guidance.

Explanation:

- "Ce jour-ci" is a common French phrase for "this day."

- "Sera profitable" uses the future tense of the verb "être" (to be) and the adjective "profitable" to convey that this day will be beneficial.

- "Aux véridiques" uses the preposition "aux" (to the) and the noun "véridiques" (truthful) to specify who will benefit.

- "Par leur vérité" uses the preposition "par" (by) and the noun "vérité" (truth) to explain how they will benefit.

- "Ils auront des jardins" uses the future tense of the verb "avoir" (to have) and the plural noun "jardins" (gardens).

- "Où coulent des rivières" uses the relative pronoun "où" (where) and the present tense of the verb "couler" (to flow) with the plural noun "rivières" (rivers).

- "Ils y demeureront éternellement" uses the future tense of the verb "demeurer" (to dwell) and the adverb "éternellement" (eternally).

- "Dieu est satisfait d'eux" uses the present tense of the verb "être" (to be) and the adjective "satisfait" (satisfied) with the preposition "de" (of) and the pronoun "eux" (them).

- "Et eux de Lui" uses the pronoun "eux" (they) and the preposition "de" (of) followed by the pronoun "Lui" (Him).

- "C'est là le grand succès" uses the pronoun "c'est" (it is) followed by the adverb "là" (there) and the noun "succès" (success).

Grammar Points:

- Gender: The noun "jour" (day) is masculine, hence the masculine article "ce" is used. The noun "vérité" (truth) is feminine, hence the feminine article "leur" is used.

- Plural: The noun "jardins" (gardens) and "rivières" (rivers) are plural, hence the plural articles "des" and "des" are used.

- Tense: The future tense is used in the sentence to describe the future state of the truthful and the benefits they will receive.

- Prepositions: The prepositions "aux" (to), "par" (by), and "de" (of) are used to connect nouns and verbs, showing the relationships between them.

Pronunciation:

Remember to practice the pronunciation of the words by listening to audio recordings or speaking to native French speakers. Pay close attention to the vowels and consonant sounds, as they can vary slightly from English.

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the phrases "n'ont-ils pas été instruits" and "si Nous le voulions." This is because the sentence is expressing uncertainty or a hypothetical situation.

- The subjunctive mood often uses the verb "être" (to be) in the present tense when followed by a past participle. Example: "N'ont-ils pas été instruits."

- The subjunctive mood is also used in the phrase "qu'ils n'entendent plus." This is because the phrase expresses a consequence of the hypothetical situation expressed earlier in the sentence.

Grammar Rules:

- Agreement of the past participle: The past participle agrees in gender and number with the direct object when it comes before the verb. For example, in the sentence "Dieu vous recommande concernant vos enfants," the past participle "recommandé" agrees with the direct object "vous."

- Gender and number agreement: Nouns and adjectives must agree in gender and number. For example, in the sentence "à l'homme revient une part égale à celle de deux femmes," the noun "part" is feminine singular and the adjective "égale" is also feminine singular.

- Subject-verb agreement: The verb must agree with the subject in number and person. For example, in the sentence "Dieu vous recommande concernant vos enfants," the verb "recommande" is in the third person plural, agreeing with the subject "Dieu."

Pronunciation:

- Pay attention to the sound of the letter "e" in words like "petite", "dépense", "grande" and "traversent". It has a soft, open sound, similar to the "e" in "bed" or "get".

- The letter "u" in "plus" and "eux" has a silent sound. You only hear the vowel sound before it.

Pronunciation Tip: French pronunciation can be tricky. Pay close attention to the liaisons (linking sounds) between words. For example, in "il y a," the "l" in "il" is linked to the "y" in "y a".

Le Créateur des cieux et de la terre, comment pourrait-il avoir un enfant alors qu'il n'a pas d'épouse? Il a créé toute chose et Il est Omniscient.

Grammar Notes:

- Conditional Mood: The conditional mood is used to express possibility, uncertainty, or hypothetical situations. In this sentence, it is used to express that it is not possible for God to have a child.

- Negative Form: The negative form of verbs is formed by using "ne" before the verb and "pas" after the verb.

- Direct Object Pronoun: The pronoun "il" (he) is used as the direct object of the verb "avoir" (to have) in the sentence "Il a créé toute chose" (He has created all things). The pronoun "il" (he) is used as the direct object of the verb "pouvoir" (to be able to) in the sentence "comment pourrait-il avoir un enfant" (how could he have a child).

Grammar Notes:

- This sentence is a complex sentence containing a relative clause introduced by the relative pronoun "qui".

- The relative clause modifies the noun "ceux" and explains who made the alliance.

- The verb "fait" is conjugated in the past participle form because it is used with the auxiliary verb "ont".

- The verb "avoir" is used to form the compound past tense (passé composé) with the past participle of the verb "faire".

English Translation:

An exemption from God and His messenger to those who have made an alliance with the idolaters.

French Translation:

Et Allah n'égare pas un peuple après qu'il l'a guidé, jusqu'à ce qu'Il leur ait fait connaître ce qu'ils doivent craindre. En vérité, Allah est Omniscient.

Grammar Notes:

- In French, you can often drop the subject pronoun (like "nous" in this example) when it's clear who is performing the action.

- "Allah" is a proper noun, so it is capitalized.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- The French "r" is pronounced with the back of the tongue, making a slightly rasping sound.

- The French "u" sound is similar to the English "oo" sound.

- The French "e" can sound like the English "uh" or "eh", depending on its position in the word.

French Translation:

Et si Nous avions voulu, Nous l'aurions élevé par elle, mais il s'est attaché à la terre et a suivi ses désirs. Alors sa parabole est comme la parabole du chien : si tu le charges, il halète, et si tu le laisses, il halète. C'est la parabole des gens qui ont démenti Nos signes : relate donc les récits afin qu’ils réfléchissent.

Word for Word Explanation:

- Et (eh) - And

- si (see) - If

- Nous (noo) - We

- avions voulu (av-yon voo-loo) - had wanted - Past perfect tense of "vouloir" (to want)

- Nous (noo) - We

- l'aurions élevé (lor-ee-on eh-leh-veh) - would have raised - This is a conditional tense (present conditional) of "élever" (to raise, to lift up)

- par elle (par el) - by it - "elle" refers to the "she" in the previous verse

- mais (may) - but

- il (eel) - he

- s'est attaché (seh-tah-shah-sheh) - attached himself - This is the past participle of "s'attacher" (to attach oneself)

- à la terre (ah lah ter) - to the earth

- et (eh) - and

- a suivi (ah swee-vee) - followed - This is the past tense of "suivre" (to follow)

- Alors (ah-lor) - Then

Grammar Rule:

- Past Perfect Tense: We use the past perfect tense (in French, "plus-que-parfait") to describe an action that happened before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) conjugated in the imperfect tense ("avais", "avais", "avait", "avions", "aviez", "avaient") plus the past participle of the main verb. Example: J'avais mangé (I had eaten).

- Present Conditional Tense: The present conditional tense (in French, "conditionnel present") expresses an action that would happen if a certain condition were met. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) conjugated in the simple present ("ai", "as", "a", "avons", "avez", "ont") plus the past participle of the main verb. Example: J'aurais mangé (I would have eaten).

- Past Participle Agreement: In French, the past participle of a verb must agree in gender and number with the direct object of the verb when the direct object precedes the verb. Example: Je l'ai vue (I saw her). The past participle "vue" agrees with "elle" (her) which is the direct object.

Grammar Rule:

- The French verb "être" (to be) agrees with the subject in number and gender.

French Translation:

"En vérité, ceux qui ont mécru, leurs biens et leurs enfants ne les profiteront en rien auprès d'Allah. Et ceux-là, ils sont le combustible du Feu."

English Breakdown and Pronunciation:

- En vérité: En vérité means "truly" or "in truth." It is a way of emphasizing the truthfulness of what is being said. (Pronounced: on ve-ri-tay)

- ceux qui ont mécru: Ceux qui is "those who." Mécru is the past participle of mécroire which means "to disbelieve" or "to be an unbeliever." The whole phrase means "those who have disbelieved." (Pronounced: suh ki ohn meh-kru)

- leurs biens: Leurs is the possessive adjective "their." Biens is the plural noun for "property" or "goods." The phrase means "their possessions." (Pronounced: lur byan)

- et leurs enfants: Et means "and." Enfants is the noun "children." (Pronounced: ay lurr on-fahn)

- ne les profiteront en rien: Ne...pas is a negative construction. Profiter is the verb "to benefit" and rien means "nothing." This phrase means "will not benefit them in any way." (Pronounced: nuh lay pro-fi-te-ron on-ree-an)

- auprès d'Allah: Auprès de is a preposition that means "near" or "in the presence of." Allah is the Arabic word for God. (Pronounced: oh-preh deh Ah-lah)

- Et ceux-là: Ceux-là means "those" or "they." (Pronounced: suh lah)

- ils sont le combustible du Feu: Ils sont means "they are." Combustible means "fuel" or "combustible material." Du Feu means "of the Fire." The entire phrase means "they are the fuel of the Fire." (Pronounced: eel sonn luh kom-bus-tee-bluh du fuh)

Grammar Notes

- Past participle: The past participle mécru is used here to describe a state of being, in this case, "having disbelieved." This is common in French to describe past actions that have lasting effects.

- Negative construction: The negative construction ne...pas is used to negate the verb profiteront. It is important to remember to include both ne and pas when making a verb negative in French.

French Translation:

Ils ont cherché la fitna (la discorde) auparavant et ont retourné les choses contre toi, jusqu'à ce que la vérité arrive et que le commandement d'Allah se manifeste, alors qu'ils le détestent.

- se manifeste (pronounced "suh mah-ni-fest") - manifests itself, becomes clear

- alors qu'ils (pronounced "ah-lor kee") - while they

- le détestent (pronounced "luh day-test") - hate it

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence uses the passé composé tense, which is used to describe actions that have already happened.

- The subjunctive mood is used in the phrase "jusqu'à ce que la vérité arrive", as it expresses a condition or a possibility.

- The relative pronoun "que" is used to introduce the subordinate clause "que le commandement d'Allah se manifeste".

English Translation:

They sought discord before, and they turned things against you, until the truth came and the command of Allah became manifest, even though they hated it.

French Translation:

Ne savez-vous pas que tout ce qui est dans les cieux et sur la Terre appartient à Dieu ? (Ne sa-vay voo pa ke too se ki eh dan lay syoo eh sur la ter aparten a Dyoo?)

Ne savez-vous pas que la promesse de Dieu est vraie ? (Ne sa-vay voo pa ke la promes de Dyoo eh vray?)

Mais la plupart d’entre eux ne le savent pas. (May la plupar d’an-tr’oo ne le sav pa.)

Word for Word Explanation:

- Ne savez-vous pas ? - (Don’t you know?) This phrase is used to emphasize a fact or a truth.

- que - (that) This is a conjunction that introduces a clause.

- tout ce qui est - (everything that is) This phrase refers to everything that exists.

- la plupart d'entre eux - (most of them) This refers to a majority of people.

- ne le savent pas - (don't know it) This indicates that they are ignorant of God's promise.

Grammar Notes:

- Ne ... pas is used to form negative sentences in French.

- Tout ce qui est is a relative clause, which means it provides additional information about the noun "tout" (everything).

- La plupart d'entre eux is a plural phrase, meaning it refers to more than one person.

This text uses a lot of emphasis and repetition to drive home the important message. The repeated use of "Ne savez-vous pas?" really helps the reader to understand the speaker's emotion.

- Mais - But (pronunciation: meh)

- si - if (pronunciation: see)

- vous êtes patients - you are patient (pronunciation: voo eh pah-syon)

- Dieu - God (pronunciation: dyeu)

- est au courant - is aware (pronunciation: eh oh koo-ron)

- de tout ce qu'ils font - of all that they do (pronunciation: de too seh keel fon)

Grammar Points:

- "Si" is used to introduce conditional sentences in French. It is followed by the present tense in both the main clause and the conditional clause.

- "Les" is the plural form of the definite article "le" (the), which is used before masculine nouns.

- "S'en" is a reflexive pronoun that means "of it" or "from it." It is used in conjunction with the verb "réjouir" (to rejoice) to express the idea of rejoicing in something.

- "En rien" is a negative expression that means "in any way."

- "Au courant" is a prepositional phrase that means "aware of" or "informed about."

Pronunciation Tips:

- French pronunciation can be tricky for English speakers. Pay attention to the use of silent letters, nasal vowels, and liaison (the linking of sounds).

- Silent letters: For example, the "e" at the end of words like "une" and "le" is usually silent.

- Nasal vowels: Words like "en" and "un" have nasal vowels, which are pronounced with the air coming out of your nose.

- Liaison: The final consonant of a word is often linked to the following vowel sound if it begins with a vowel. For example, in the phrase "vous êtes patients," the "s" at the end of "vous" is linked to the "e" at the beginning of "êtes."

Remember to practice your pronunciation and listen to native speakers to get a better understanding of the sounds of French.

Dieu te pardonne, pourquoi les as-tu autorisés à partir avant de connaître ceux qui ont dit la vérité et de reconnaître les menteurs ?

Word for word explanation:

- Dieu (pronounced: Dyuh) - God

- te (pronounced: tuh) - you (masculine singular)

- pardonne (pronounced: pardonn) - forgives

- pourquoi (pronounced: poor-kwah) - why

- les (pronounced: lay) - them

- as-tu (pronounced: ah-tu) - have you

- autorisés (pronounced: oh-toh-ree-zay) - authorized, allowed

- à (pronounced: ah) - to

- partir (pronounced: parteer) - leave

- avant (pronounced: ah-vahn) - before

- de (pronounced: duh) - of, from

Grammar Notes:

- "as-tu" is an inversion of the verb "avoir" (to have) and the subject pronoun "tu" (you). This is a common construction in French when asking questions.

- "les as-tu autorisés" uses the past participle "autorisés" because it's a compound tense (passé composé) and the subject "tu" is placed between the auxiliary verb "as" and the past participle "autorisés".

- "avant de connaître" is a common phrase in French meaning "before knowing". It's used to express the temporal order of actions.

- "ceux qui ont dit la vérité" is a relative clause that modifies "ceux" (those). It uses the past participle "dit" because it's a compound tense (passé composé) and the subject "qui" (who) is placed between the auxiliary verb "ont" (have) and the past participle "dit" (said).

Pronunciation Tips:

- The French "r" is often a soft and slightly guttural sound compared to the English "r".

- The French "u" is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon".

- The French "e" is often silent at the end of a word.

This is a basic translation and explanation. The sentence can be translated in different ways depending on the context and desired level of formality.

French Translation:

Et craignez le feu qui a été préparé pour les mécréants.

English Translation:

And fear the fire that has been prepared for the disbelievers.

Grammar Notes:

- "Le feu" is a masculine noun, so the definite article is "le".

- "Qui a été préparé" is a relative clause modifying "le feu". The verb "être" (to be) is conjugated in the past participle "été" because the subject is "le feu" which is masculine singular.

- "Les mécréants" is a plural noun, so the definite article is "les".

The sentence should be spoken with a rising intonation at the end, indicating a statement. The stress should fall on the last syllable of each word.

In the phrase "qu’il lui verse une compensation" (let him pay him compensation), the direct object "une compensation" (compensation) follows the verb "verse" (pay), while the indirect object "lui" (him) precedes the verb.

- Prepositions: Prepositions are words that connect nouns, pronouns, and other phrases to other words in a sentence. In the phrase "avec justice" (with justice), the preposition "avec" (with) connects the noun "justice" (justice) to the verb "poursuive" (pursue).

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence is in the past tense (passé composé) because the Arabic sentence uses the past tense.

- In French, verbs agree in number and person with their subject. This means if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular and if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. In the French sentence, the verb "avons" agrees with the subject "Nous" (We).

- The pronoun "vous" (you) is used for both singular and plural in French.

- "Ce qui" (that which) is a relative pronoun used to introduce a relative clause. In this instance, it is translated as "that which came before it of the Book".

- "Au détriment de" (at the expense of) is a prepositional phrase that is used to indicate that something is being done to the detriment of something else. In this case, it means "do not follow their desires at the expense of what has come to you of the truth."

- "L'un" (the one) is a pronoun used to refer to one person or thing out of a larger group.

- "Seul" (only, alone) is an adjective used to describe something as being alone.

- "Vers" (towards) is a preposition used to indicate direction.

- "à tous" (to all) is a prepositional phrase used to indicate that something applies to everyone.

- "Il vous éclairera" (He will inform you) is in the future tense. This is because the Arabic sentence uses the future tense.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

- Prepositions: French uses prepositions to express relationships between words in a sentence. For example, the preposition "pour" (for) is used to connect the action of "accomplir" (to complete) to the object "Allah."

Grammar Note: The verb "voulaient" in the sentence is in the imperfect tense. It describes an action that was happening in the past.

Pronunciation Note: The French language uses nasal vowels. These are sounds that are produced when the air flows through the nose and the mouth. The nasal vowels are represented by the letters "n" and "m" at the end of a syllable. For example, the word "bon" (good) has a nasal vowel sound. To pronounce it correctly, you should let the air flow out through both your nose and mouth.

French Translation:

Il n'était pas permis aux habitants de la ville et aux Bédouins qui les entouraient de rester en arrière du Messager d'Allah, ni de préférer leurs propres vies à la sienne. Cela parce qu'ils ne souffriraient ni de la soif, ni de la fatigue, ni de la faim sur le chemin d'Allah. Et ils ne marcheraient pas sur un terrain qui mettrait en colère les mécréants, et ils n'obtiendraient aucun avantage sur l'ennemi, sans que cela ne leur soit compté comme une bonne action. En vérité, Allah ne perd jamais la récompense des bienfaiteurs.

English Translation:

It was not permissible for the people of the city and the Bedouins around them to lag behind the Messenger of Allah, nor to prefer their own lives to his. This because they would not suffer from thirst, fatigue, or hunger in the way of Allah. And they would not tread on any ground that would anger the disbelievers, and they would not gain any advantage over the enemy, without it being recorded as a good deed for them. Truly, Allah never wastes the reward of the doers of good.

- "la patience" and "la prière" are feminine nouns, so we use "la" before them.

- "elle est certes" means "it is certainly." The word "certes" emphasizes the certainty of the statement.

- "sauf pour" means "except for."

- "les humbles" is a plural noun, meaning "the humble ones." In French, plural nouns usually end in "-s" or "-es."

This sentence is an example of a complex sentence. It contains multiple clauses connected by conjunctions.

English Translation: Whoever desires the reward of this world, with Allah is the reward of this world and the hereafter. And Allah is All-hearing and All-seeing.

French Translation:

Dis: (dee) - Say

que (kuh) - that

je ne vous dirai pas (zhuh nuh voo dih-ray pah) - I will not tell you

que j’ai les trésors d’Allah (kuh zhay lay treh-zor duh-lah) - that I have Allah's treasures

et que je ne connais pas le mystère (ay kuh zhuh nuh kuh-neh pah luh mis-tehr) - and that I do not know the mystery (secret)

et que je ne vous dirai pas que je suis un ange (ay kuh zhuh nuh voo dih-ray pah kuh zhuh swee un ahn-zhuh) - and that I will not tell you that I am an angel

Je ne suis que celui qui suit ce qui m’est révélé (zhuh nuh swee kuh suh-looee kee swee suh kee may eh ray-vay-lay) - I am only the one who follows what is revealed to me.

Dis : (dee) - Say

Est-ce que l’aveugle et le voyant sont égaux ? (eh-skuh lah-vuh-gluh eh luh vwah-yahn sont eh-goh?) - Are the blind and the sighted equal?

Ne réfléchissez-vous pas ? (nuh reh-fleh-chih-say-voo pah) - Do you not reflect?

Grammar Note: The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the first part of the translation, specifically in "que j'ai les trésors d'Allah," "que je ne connais pas le mystère" and "que je ne vous dirai pas que je suis un ange." The subjunctive mood is used to express doubt, possibility, or a hypothetical situation. Here, it emphasizes that the speaker is denying possessing knowledge of God's treasures or being an angel.

- Dis - Say (imperative form of "dire")

- que - that (conjunction introducing a subordinate clause)

- je ne vous dirai pas - I will not tell you (negative form of the future tense of "dire")

- que j’ai les trésors d’Allah - that I have Allah's treasures (subjunctive mood, expressing doubt or possibility)

- et que je ne connais pas le mystère - and that I do not know the mystery (secret) (subjunctive mood, expressing doubt or possibility)

French Translation:

Puis, nous avons envoyé après eux, Moïse et Aaron, vers Pharaon et ses courtisans, avec Nos signes. Mais ils furent arrogants et restèrent un peuple criminel.

Word-for-Word Explanation:

Grammar Notes:

- "Nous avons envoyé" is the past tense of the verb "envoyer" (to send). The past tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) and the past participle of the main verb "envoyer."

- "Ils furent arrogants" is the past tense of the verb "être" (to be) conjugated with the past participle "arrogant." This is a common way to express a state of being in the past.

- "Criminel" is an adjective describing the noun "peuple" (people). In French, adjectives typically agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.

This is a complex sentence with multiple clauses. The key to understanding it is to break it down into smaller parts and then piece them back together.

French:

Quand les disciples dirent: « Ô Jésus, fils de Marie, ton Seigneur peut-il faire descendre sur nous une table du ciel? » Il répondit: « Craignez Allah, si vous êtes croyants. »

Word for word explanation:

- Quand (kɑ̃) - When

- les disciples (le di.sip.l) - the disciples

- dirent (diʁ) - said

- « Ô Jésus, fils de Marie » (oʒe.zy fi.s də ma.ʁi) - "Oh Jesus, son of Mary" - This is a direct address to Jesus.

- ton Seigneur (tɔ̃ se.ɲœʁ) - your Lord

- peut-il (pœ.til) - can he

- faire descendre (fɛʁ desɑ̃dʁ) - make descend

- sur nous (syʁ nu) - on us

- une table (yn tab.l) - a table

- du ciel (dy sjɛl) - from the sky

- ? » - ?

- Il répondit (il ʁe.pɔ̃.di) - He answered

- « Craignez Allah (kʁɛ.ɲe a.la) - Fear Allah

- si vous êtes croyants (si vu ɛt kʁwa.jɑ̃) - if you are believers.

Grammar:

- "Quand les disciples dirent" - This is a subordinate clause that sets the context for the main clause.

- "Il répondit" - This is the main clause and is introduced by the pronoun "Il".

- "si vous êtes croyants" - This is a conditional clause that specifies the condition for fearing Allah.

Pronunciation assistance:

- "j" is pronounced like the English "zh" in "vision".

- "eu" is pronounced like the English "uh" in "but".

- "ou" is pronounced like the English "oo" in "moon".

- "oi" is pronounced like the English "wa" in "water".

- "è" is pronounced like the English "e" in "bed".

- "ê" is pronounced like the English "ay" in "say".

- "ç" is pronounced like the English "sh" in "ship".

French Translation:

"En vérité, les plus proches d'Abraham sont ceux qui l'ont suivi, et ce prophète, et ceux qui ont cru. Et Allah est le Protecteur des croyants."

English Breakdown:

- En vérité, (on-ve-ri-tay) - This is a phrase used to emphasize what is to follow. It is similar to saying "truly" or "indeed" in English.

- les plus proches d'Abraham (lay plu prosh duh-bra-ham) - "the closest to Abraham", This is a literal translation and means those who are closest to Abraham in terms of faith and closeness to God.

- sont (son) - "are"

- ceux qui l'ont suivi (suh ki lon-t sui-vi) - "those who followed him". The pronoun "l'" refers to Abraham. The verb "suivi" is the past participle of the verb "suivre" which means "to follow".

- et ce prophète (ay suh pro-fet) - "and this prophet". This refers to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

- et ceux qui ont cru (ay suh ki on kru) - "and those who have believed". The verb "cru" is the past participle of the verb "croire" which means "to believe".

- Et Allah (ay a-lah) - "And Allah"

- est le Protecteur (ay lu pro-tek-tur) - "is the Protector"

- des croyants (day krwa-yants) - "of the believers"

Grammar Notes:

- Agreement of adjectives: In French, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. In this sentence, "proches" is plural and masculine to agree with "les plus proches".

- Past participle agreement: The past participle of verbs like "suivre" (to follow) and "croire" (to believe) agree in gender and number with the direct object if it comes before the verb. In this case, "ceux" is the direct object, so the past participles are "suivi" and "cru" (masculine plural).

- The definite article: The definite article "le" (the) is used before "Protecteur" because it is a singular, masculine noun.

- The possessive pronoun: The possessive pronoun "ses" (his) could be used instead of "les" (the) in the phrase "les plus proches d'Abraham" to show that Abraham is the one who has the closest followers. However, this is not the most common way to say it.

Pronunciation:

Remember to use the correct pronunciation for each letter and sound in French. Listen to the sentence read aloud by a native French speaker to get a good understanding of the rhythm and intonation.

Ceux qui dépensent leurs biens, de nuit comme de jour, en secret et ouvertement, auront leur récompense auprès de leur Seigneur. Et il n'y a aucune crainte pour eux, et ils ne seront point affligés.

Grammar Note: The word order in French is subject-verb-object. This means the subject comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object. This is different from English, where the subject can often come after the verb, especially in questions.

For example:

- English: They will have their reward.

- French: Ils auront leur récompense.

Also, note the use of the definite article "le" before "Seigneur" (Lord). In French, you need to use the definite article "le" when referring to a title such as "Lord."

Example:

- Le Seigneur (The Lord)

- La Reine (The Queen)

- Le Président (The President)

Pronunciation:

This sentence is pronounced with a French accent. Some of the vowel sounds in French are different from English. For example, the vowel "e" is often pronounced like the "e" in "bed" or the "eh" in "bet." Also, the vowel "u" is often pronounced like the "oo" in "moon."

Example:

- nuit (pronounced "nwee")

- Seigneur (pronounced "seh-nyuh")

- aucune (pronounced "oh-kuhn")

Be sure to practice pronouncing these words correctly.

Grammar Note:

This sentence contains a few important grammar rules.

First, the verb "préparer" (to prepare) takes an object pronoun "les" (them) which agrees with the noun "eux" (them). This is because the verb is followed by a direct object, which is "them."

Second, the verb "connaître" (to know) takes an object pronoun "les" (them). This is because the verb is followed by a direct object, which is "them."

Third, the verb "dépenser" (to spend) takes an object pronoun "le" (it) which agrees with the noun "ce" (that). This is because the verb is followed by a direct object, which is "it." The pronoun "le" is placed before the verb in this case, because it is followed by a direct object.

Finally, the verb "rendu" (to be rendered) is a past participle. This is because the verb is followed by a direct object, which is "it." The past participle agrees with the noun "ce" (that).

Pronunciation Notes:

- French words are pronounced as they are written, with the following exceptions:

- "C" is pronounced like "S" before "I" or "E" as in "ce" (sə) and "connaissez" (ko-ne-se).

- "E" at the end of a word is usually silent as in "force" (fors) and "cavalerie" (ka-va-lə-ri).

- "G" is pronounced like "j" before "E" or "I" as in "géographie" (ʒeo-ɡra-fi) and "gentil" (ʒɑ̃-ti).

- "H" is usually silent as in "hôtel" (o-tɛl) and "heure" (œr).

- "R" is pronounced like a soft "r" as in "terre" (tɛr) and "mer" (mɛr).

- "S" at the end of a word is usually silent as in "vous" (vu) and "les" (le).

- "U" is pronounced like "ou" when it is followed by a "E" as in "autre" (o-tr) and "heureux" (œ-rœ).

- "W" is pronounced like "v" as in "wagon" (va-ɡɔ̃) and "whisky" (vis-ki).

Tips:

- Practice pronunciation with a native French speaker or use online resources like Forvo.com.

- Memorize common words and phrases to build your vocabulary.

- Try to write your own sentences using the new vocabulary you learn.

- Don't be afraid to make mistakes! Learning a new language takes time and effort.

Le Diable ne désire que semer la discorde et la haine parmi vous, par le vin et le jeu, et vous empêcher de vous souvenir d'Allah et de la prière. Allez-vous donc y mettre fin ?

- The French sentence is structured differently than the English sentence.

- The French phrase "à leur égard" is a formal way of saying "to them".

- The phrase "en guise de compensation" is a formal way of saying "as compensation".

- The verb "juger" is in the negative form, so we use "ne" before the verb and "pas" after it.

- The word "ceux-là" is used to emphasize the noun "ceux" (those).

Pronunciation Tips:

- The "e" at the end of words is usually silent in French, but it can be pronounced if it is followed by a consonant.

- The "u" in "qu'Allah" is pronounced as a "y" sound.

- The "s" at the end of words is usually pronounced, but it can be silent if it is followed by a consonant.

- The "h" at the beginning of words is usually silent in French.

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence uses a lot of past tense verbs, specifically the past participle "détruites", which is used in the passive voice. This is because the focus is on the action being performed, not the agent who performed it.

- The sentence uses the negative “ne…pas” for emphasis. “Ne” is placed before the verb, and “pas” is placed after the verb.

- The pronoun "elles" is used to refer to the "générations" and "rivières."

English Translation:

Haven't they seen how many generations we have destroyed before them, those that we had established on the earth with resources that we did not grant you? And we made it rain upon them in abundance, and we made rivers flow beneath them. Then we destroyed them because of their sins, and we created another generation after them.

Grammar Notes:

- Le passé composé is used to express completed actions in the past. Its structure is auxiliary verb (avoir or être) + past participle. For example: Nous avons fait hériter (We have inherited).

- The relative pronoun qui is used to introduce a relative clause that describes a noun. In the sentence, it describes the noun le peuple (the people). For example: le peuple qui était opprimé** (the people who were oppressed).

- The preposition de is used to express possession or origin. For example: des contrées orientales de la terre** (of the eastern lands of the earth).

- The preposition en is used to indicate a place, a state, or a way. For example: en récompense de leur patience** (in reward of their patience).

Pronunciation Tips:

- The letter e at the end of a word is usually silent. For example: terre (ter)

- The letter s is usually silent at the end of a word. For example: nous (noo)

- The letter c is pronounced like "s" before i and e. For example: contrées (kontrē)

- The letter g is pronounced like "j" before i and e. For example: édifié (edifie)

Grammar Notes:

- "Ce qui est licite et bon" is a relative clause, meaning it describes the noun "ce" (that) that precedes it. It is important to use the correct relative pronoun here, which is "qui" in French.

- "En qui vous croyez" is also a relative clause, but it describes the noun "Allah". This phrase also demonstrates the use of "en" as a preposition before the relative pronoun "qui".

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the silent letters in French, such as the final "e" in "mangez" and "croyez".

- Practice the nasal vowels, such as "en" and "bon".

- The intonation is also important in French. The sentence should rise and fall naturally, with emphasis on the important words.

- nous l'avons fait suivre - We followed him (noo lavõn fe swivr)

- de Jésus - Of Jesus (de Je-sus)

Grammar Note:

The phrase "confirmant ce qui était avant lui" (confirming what was before him) is a present participle acting as an adjective modifying "Jésus" and "l'Évangile". The present participle in French is formed by adding "-ant" to the infinitive stem of the verb.

The translation uses the French word "l'Évangile" which is more common in religious contexts than "l'évangile" which is more general.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- The French "r" is often a light sound, similar to the English "r" in "bird".

- Remember to pronounce the final consonants in most words.

French Translation:

N'as-tu pas vu, parmi les enfants d'Israël, après Moïse, quand ils dirent à leur prophète : "Envoie-nous un roi afin que nous combattions dans le chemin d'Allah" ?

Il leur dit : "Est-ce que vous craignez, si le combat vous est prescrit, que vous ne combattiez pas ?"

Ils dirent : "Et pourquoi ne combattrons-nous pas dans le chemin d'Allah alors que nous avons été chassés de nos maisons et de nos enfants ?"

Lorsque le combat leur fut prescrit, ils se détournèrent, sauf un petit nombre d'entre eux. Et Allah connaît bien les injustes.

Word by Word Breakdown and Pronunciation:

N'as-tu pas vu, (nahs-tu pah vü) - Have you not seen?

parmi les enfants d'Israël, (par-mee lay zahn-fahn d’iz-ra-el) - Among the children of Israel

après Moïse, (ah-pray mwa-eez) - After Moses

quand ils dirent à leur prophète, (kahn eel deer a leur pro-feht) - When they said to their prophet

"Envoie-nous un roi" (ahn-vwa-neh-noo un rwa) - Send us a king

afin que nous combattions, (ah-făn keh noo kom-bah-tyon) - So that we may fight

dans le chemin d'Allah" (dahn le sheh-măn d’a-lah) - In the path of Allah

Il leur dit : (eel leur di) - He said to them

"Est-ce que vous craignez, (est-se keh voo kre-yay) - Do you fear

si le combat vous est prescrit, (see le kom-bah voo eh pre-skre) - If the battle is prescribed to you

que vous ne combattiez pas ?" (keh voo ne kom-bah-tyay pah) - That you will not fight?

Ils dirent : (eel deer) - They said

"Et pourquoi ne combattrons-nous pas" (ay poor-kwah ne kom-bah-tron-noo pah) - And why will we not fight

dans le chemin d'Allah" (dahn le sheh-măn d’a-lah) - in the path of Allah

alors que nous avons été chassés (ah-lor keh noo ah-von ehtay shah-say) - Since we have been driven out

de nos maisons (de no ma-zon) - from our houses

et de nos enfants ?" (ay de no zahn-fahn) - and from our children?

Lorsque le combat leur fut prescrit, (lor-skuh le kom-bah leur fü pre-skre) - When the battle was prescribed to them

ils se détournèrent, (eel se day-toor-ner) - They turned away

sauf un petit nombre d'entre eux. (sof un peh-tee nom-bruh dahn-treh uh) - except for a small number of them.

Et Allah connaît bien les injustes. (ay a-lah koh-neh byen lay zahn-zhüst) - And Allah knows well the unjust.

Grammar Notes:

- "N'as-tu pas vu..." This is a rhetorical question, commonly used in Arabic and French to emphasize a point.

- "Ils dirent à leur prophète..." Notice the use of the past tense "dirent" (they said) to describe an action in the past.

- "Lorsque le combat leur fut prescrit..." This is a complex sentence with a subordinate clause. "Lorsque" (when) introduces the subordinate clause, and "fut prescrit" (was prescribed) is in the past tense.

- "sauf un petit nombre d'entre eux" - This is a phrase that means "except for a small number of them." This phrase is used to highlight the contrast between the majority who turned away and the minority who remained faithful.

Pronunciation Note: The French pronunciation is slightly different than English. "R" in French is often pronounced as a guttural sound, and the "e" at the end of words is usually silent. Practice these sounds carefully to improve your fluency.

French Translation:

Et lorsqu'ils commettent une turpitude, ils disent : "Nous avons trouvé nos pères en train de la faire, et Allah nous l'a ordonnée." Dis : "En vérité, Allah n'ordonne pas la turpitude. Dites-vous donc sur Allah ce que vous ne savez pas ?"

English Translation:

- "Dis" (say) is an imperative verb (command).

- "Dites-vous" (do you say) is a question, formed by inverting the subject and verb.

Pronunciation Tips:

- "Turpitude" (toor-pee-tood) has a silent "e" at the end.

- "Ordonnée" (or-doh-nay) has a silent "e" at the end.

- "Sachez" (sa-shay) has a silent "z" at the end.

This sentence is a complex one. You can practice it by breaking it down into smaller chunks and practicing each part separately. For example, you can start by saying "Et lorsqu'ils commettent une turpitude..." and then add on the rest of the sentence gradually.

French:

Nous les avons divisés en douze tribus, des nations. Et Nous avons révélé à Moïse, quand son peuple lui demanda de l'eau, de frapper la pierre avec son bâton. Douze sources en jaillirent.

- The pronoun "ils" (they) is used in the last sentence to refer to the Israelites.

- The phrase "eux-mêmes" (themselves) is used to emphasize that the Israelites were responsible for their own suffering.

English:

We divided them into twelve tribes, nations. And We revealed to Moses, when his people asked him for water, to strike the stone with his staff. Twelve springs burst forth from it. Every group knew where to drink. We placed a cloud above them and sent down manna and quail for them. Eat from the good things We have provided for you. They were not unjust to Us, but they did wrong to themselves.

Word-by-word Explanation:

- je ne possède is the first-person singular present tense of the verb "posséder", which means to possess. The negation "ne...pas" is used in French to make a sentence negative.

- pour moi-même is the preposition "pour" meaning "for" followed by the reflexive pronoun "moi-même" meaning "myself". Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject of the verb is also the object of the verb. In this case, the subject is "je" (I) and the object is "moi" (me).

- j'aurais multiplié le bien is a conditional sentence. "j'aurais" is the conditional form of the verb "avoir" meaning "to have", "multiplié" is the past participle of the verb "multiplier" meaning "to multiply", "le bien" means "the good".

- et le mal ne m'aurait pas touché is a conditional sentence. "et" means "and", "le mal" means "evil", "ne...pas" is the negation "not", "m'aurait" is the conditional form of the verb "avoir" meaning "to have", "touché" is the past participle of the verb "toucher" meaning "to touch".

- Je ne suis qu'un avertisseur et un annonciateur is a statement using the verb "être" meaning "to be". "Je ne suis" means "I am not", "qu'un" means "only", "avertisseur" means "warner" and "annonciateur" means "announcer".

- pour un peuple qui croit is a prepositional phrase with the preposition "pour" meaning "for". "un peuple" means "a people", "qui croit" is a relative clause meaning "who believes".

Grammar Notes:

- Conditional Sentences: This sentence uses a conditional sentence structure. The first part is a "si" clause, followed by a "main" clause. The "si" clause uses the imperfect tense ("était" - was) to express a hypothetical situation. The main clause uses the conditional perfect tense ("auraient suivi" - would have followed) to show what would have happened if the hypothetical situation were true.

- Agreement: The past participle "devenue" agrees in gender and number with the noun "distance" - a feminine singular noun.

- Reflexive Pronoun: The reflexive pronoun "se" is used in the sentence "Ils se détruisent eux-mêmes" (They destroy themselves). It emphasizes that the action affects the subject itself.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the sounds of "ou" in "nous" and "vous" - they have a similar sound to the English word "food."

- Practice the "r" sound - it is a soft and sometimes silent sound in French.

- Focus on the stress in each word, which usually falls on the last syllable.

Pardonne-leur donc et passe outre. En vérité, Allah aime les bienfaisants.

- "En vérité, Allah aime les bienfaisants" uses the present tense to express a general truth about Allah.

Grammar Notes:

- "Frappés" is the past participle of the verb "frapper" (to strike), also used in the compound past tense.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Remember to pronounce the final "e" in most French words, even if it is silent in English.

- The "r" sound in French is often rolled, especially when it is at the end of a syllable.

- The "u" sound in French is often more like a "oo" sound.

French Translation:

- The use of "ne" and "que" is crucial to convey the meaning of "only". "Ne" creates the negative form of the verb, while "que" emphasizes the exclusivity of the object.

- The noun "Dieu" (God) is capitalized in French.

Grammar Note: The French sentence uses a series of questions to emphasize the helplessness of those who were defended in life. The first question ("qui plaidera...") is about their future defense, and the second question ("qui sera...") asks about their future protection. Both are rhetorical questions that imply a lack of hope. The construction "qui ... sera" uses the future tense of "être" (to be) with the present tense of the verb "plaider" (to plead) to emphasize the contrast between the present and the future.

This sentence describes the punishment of the wrongdoers in the afterlife, which involves being confined in hell with coverings on top of them.

- "Sauf pour" is an expression that introduces an exception. It is followed by a noun phrase (le peuple de Jonas).

- "Lorsque" is a conjunction that introduces a time clause. It is followed by a verb in the past tense (crut).

- "Nous soulageames" is in the past tense of the verb "soulager" (to relieve).

- "D'eux" is a pronoun that replaces the noun "le peuple de Jonas" and functions as the object of the verb "soulageames".

Pronunciation Assistance:

- "cité" is pronounced with a silent "é" like "si-tay"

- "foi" is pronounced with a silent "i" like "fwa"

- "châtiment" has a silent "t" at the end, so it is pronounced like "sha-tee-mahn"

- "ignominie" is pronounced with a silent "e" at the end, so it is pronounced like "lee-gno-mee-nee"

- "jusqu'à" is pronounced with a silent "s" at the end, so it is pronounced like "zhoo-ska"

- "Vos mains ont préparé" uses the past participle "préparé" with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) in the third person plural. This is the common conjugation for the past perfect tense in French, which is used to indicate an action that was completed before another action in the past.

- "Allah n'est pas..." uses the negative form of the verb "être" (to be).

- "Ses serviteurs" uses the possessive adjective "Ses" which agrees in gender and number with the noun "serviteurs".

English Translation:

This is due to what your hands have prepared, and Allah is not unjust towards His servants.

French Translation:

Ceux qui ont cru et n'ont pas mêlé leur foi à l'injustice, ceux-là auront la sécurité et ils sont bien guidés. (pronounced: suh kuh kee ohn krue eh noh pah meh lay lur fwa ah lan zhys tees, suh lah oh roh lah seh kye ree eh ee sohn bee an gee day)

English Word for Word Explanation:

Ceux (those) - suh

qui (who) - kee

ont cru (have believed) - ohn krue

et (and) - eh

n'ont pas (have not) - noh pah

mêlé (mixed) - meh lay

leur foi (their faith) - lur fwa

à l'injustice (with injustice) - ah lan zhys tees

ceux-là (those) - suh lah

auront (will have) - oh roh

la sécurité (security) - lah seh kye ree

et (and) - eh

ils sont (they are) - ee sohn

bien guidés (well guided) - bee an gee day

Grammar Note: The verb "mêler" (to mix) is used in the past participle form "mêlé" because it is part of a compound tense. The compound tense is used to express a completed action in the past. The full verb conjugation would be "ont mêlé" (have mixed).

Additional Information: The phrase "bien guidés" could be translated more literally as "well guided" or "guided well." However, "well guided" sounds more natural in English.

This sentence highlights the importance of faith and its role in achieving security and guidance.

French Translation:

En vérité, ceux qui ont cru et fait de bonnes actions, et qui ont accompli la prière et payé la zakat, leur récompense sera auprès de leur Seigneur, et il n'y aura ni crainte pour eux ni tristesse.

- The negative structure in French is "ne" + verb + "pas". The "pas" is often omitted when the verb is followed by "que".

- "Le Diable" is masculine, so we use the masculine definite article "le".

English Translation:

The Devil whispered to them, to reveal to them what was hidden from them of their nakedness, and said: "Your Lord has forbidden you this tree only that you not be angels or that you not be immortal."

Grammar Notes:

- "Ce que J’ai fait descendre" - This is a relative clause, meaning it describes the noun before it, which is "ce" (this/that). The relative pronoun "que" (that) is used to connect the two clauses.

- "Ne soyez pas les premiers" - This is a negative imperative sentence, meaning it is a command to not do something. "Ne" (not) negates the verb "soyez" (be), and the word "pas" (not) is used for emphasis.

- "Et craignez-Moi" - This is a direct object pronoun, meaning it is used as the object of the verb "craignez" (fear). The "-Moi" ending indicates that the object is "Moi" (Me).

Pronunciation Notes:

- "J" is silent at the beginning of a word.

- "Qu" is pronounced as "k" in "que", "qui", and "qu" in "craignez".

- "C" is pronounced as "s" in "ce", "confirmant", and "contre".

- "G" is pronounced as "zh" in "J’ai", "échangez", and "craignez".

- "E" at the end of a word is usually silent, but can be pronounced slightly if the next word starts with a vowel.

This is a very basic breakdown, but it should provide a good starting point for understanding the French sentence.

- Nous les avons punis (noo lay ah-von pu-nee) - We punished them

- pour ce qu'ils avaient acquis (poor suh keel ah-vay ah-kee) - for what they had acquired

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the conditional mood (aurais ouvert) because it is a hypothetical situation.

- The imperfect tense (avaient cru, avaient été pieux, avaient acquis) is used to indicate actions in the past that continued for some time.

- "Ils ont démenti" uses the past tense (passé composé) because it is a completed action.

- "Des" is a partitive article, meaning "some" and is used before nouns that are not definite.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- "Cités" is pronounced as "see-tay", not "si-tee."

- "Pieux" is pronounced as "pee-oo" not "pee-oox."

- "Acquis" is pronounced as "ah-kee" not "ah-kwee."

Note: The translation of "pieux" is debatable, as it is a religious concept and could also be translated as "righteous," "devout," or "godly." The best choice depends on the context.

French Translation:

Et quand ils entendent ce qui a été révélé au Messager, tu vois leurs yeux déborder de larmes, à cause de ce qu'ils ont reconnu de la vérité. Ils disent: "Notre Seigneur! Nous avons cru, inscris-nous donc parmi les témoins."

- témoins (witnesses) - pronounced "temwɛ̃"

Grammar Notes:

- "Et quand ils entendent" - This is an example of a complex sentence with a subordinate clause. The subordinate clause "quand ils entendent" depends on the main clause "tu vois leurs yeux déborder".

- "à cause de ce qu'ils ont reconnu" - This phrase is a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb "déborder". The phrase "ce qu'ils ont reconnu" is a relative clause, meaning it describes "ce" (what) and begins with the relative pronoun "qu'". This is one of the most common ways to create relative clauses in French.

- "inscris-nous donc" - "Inscris-nous" is an imperative verb, meaning it is a command. It is the second person plural form (you all), but in this case, it is being used to refer to the plural "nous". "Donc" is a conjunction which means "therefore".

French Translation:

Et nous avons fait passer les fils d'Israël à travers la mer. Puis ils sont arrivés à un peuple qui s'inclinait devant leurs idoles. Ils dirent: "Ô Moïse, fais-nous un dieu comme ils ont des dieux." Il dit: "Vous êtes un peuple qui ignore."

- Il dit (eel dee) - He said

- "Vous êtes (voo eh-teh) - "You are"

- un peuple (un pohp-l) - a people

- qui ignore (kee ee-gnor) - who are ignorant

Grammar Notes:

- "Nous avons fait passer" - This is a past participle in the compound tense (passé composé). You need the auxiliary verb "avoir" in this tense, but in this case, it's implied.

- "Ils sont arrivés" - This is also a past participle in the compound tense. Here, the auxiliary verb "être" is required and present in the sentence.

- "qui s'inclinait" - This is the imperfect tense of the verb "s'incliner" (to bow). It's used to describe an action that was happening in the past.

French Translation:

Celui qui fend l'aube et qui a fait de la nuit un lieu de repos, et le soleil et la lune, un calcul. C'est là l'ordonnance du Tout-Puissant, le Sage.

Breakdown:

Celui qui fend l'aube (pronounced: "suh-lwee kee fahnd lohb") - This is a poetic way of saying "He who splits the dawn," referring to God. "Celui" means "he who," "fend" means "splits," and "l'aube" means "the dawn."

et qui a fait de la nuit un lieu de repos (pronounced: "ay kee ah fay duh lah nwee un loo duh ruh-poh") - "Et" means "and," "qui" means "who," "a fait" means "has made," "de la nuit" means "of the night," "un lieu" means "a place," and "de repos" means "of rest."

et le soleil et la lune, un calcul (pronounced: "ay luh suh-lay eh lah loon un kal-kool") - "Et" means "and," "le soleil" means "the sun," "et la lune" means "and the moon," and "un calcul" means "a calculation." This refers to the precise movements of the sun and moon.

C'est là l'ordonnance du Tout-Puissant, le Sage. (pronounced: "say lah lor-don-nahns du too-pwee-sahnt luh sahj") - "C'est là" means "That is," "l'ordonnance" means "the decree," "du Tout-Puissant" means "of the Almighty," and "le Sage" means "the Wise."

Grammar Note:

This sentence is a complex sentence, using multiple clauses linked by conjunctions (et, qui). The "Celui qui" construction is used to emphasize the power of God.

Pronunciation Tips:

- French has a lot of silent letters. For example, "le" (the) is pronounced just "luh."

- The "s" at the end of a word is usually silent, but is pronounced in some cases, like "le Sage" (pronounced "luh sahj").

- Pay attention to vowel sounds. The "u" sound is often a short "oo" sound, like in "book."

French Translation:

Et il n'est aucune créature rampante sur terre dont la subsistance ne soit à la charge d'Allah, et Il connaît son gîte et son dépôt. Tout est dans un Livre évident.

Word-for-word explanation:

- Et (eh) - And

- il n'est (il ne) - There is not

- aucune (o-kun) - any

- créature (kray-tyr) - creature

- rampante (rampant) - creeping

- sur (sür) - on

- terre (tɛʁ) - earth

- dont (don) - whose

- la (la) - the

- subsistance (syb-sis-tɑ̃s) - sustenance

- ne soit (nə swa) - is not

- à (a) - to

- la (la) - the

- charge (ʃaʁʒ) - charge

- Livre (livʁ) - Book

- évident (e-vi-dɑ̃) - evident

Grammar Notes:

- "Il n'est aucune créature rampante sur terre dont la subsistance ne soit à la charge d'Allah..." This is a complex sentence that uses a relative pronoun ("dont"). The relative pronoun "dont" is used to refer back to the noun "créature" and introduces a relative clause that describes the creature.

- "Tout est dans un Livre évident" - This simple sentence is a direct translation of the Arabic. The word "tout" (everything) is the subject of the sentence, and "est" (is) is the verb. The phrase "dans un Livre évident" (in a clear book) is the prepositional phrase acting as the object of the sentence.

English Translation:

And there is no creature that creeps on the earth whose sustenance is not upon Allah. And He knows its dwelling place and its repository. Everything is in a clear Book.

French Translation:

Et ils dirent : "Ce n'est que notre vie d'ici-bas, et nous ne serons pas ressuscités."

English Translation:

And they said: "It is only our life in this world, and we will not be resurrected."

Word for Word Explanation:

- Et (eh) - And

- ils (eel) - they

- n'est (neh) - is not

- que (kuh) - only

- et (eh) - and

- nous (noo) - we

- ne (neh) - not

- serons (suh-roh) - will be (future tense of être)

- pas (pah) - not

- ressuscités (reh-suh-see-tay) - resurrected (past participle of ressusciter)

Grammar Points:

- The verb "aimer" (to love) conjugates differently for "vous" (you plural) based on the tense.

- The French language doesn't always use the definite article (the) in the same way as English. Here, "le Livre" is used for "the Book" because it is understood to be the holy book of Islam, the Quran.

- The command form for "dis" is "dis," which is the same as the infinitive form. However, the command form for "mourir" (to die) is "mourez".

- "En vérité" is a common phrase in French that is equivalent to "truly," "indeed," or "in truth" in English.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the nasal vowels in words like "en," "dans," and "quand." They are pronounced with a sound similar to "on" in the English word "on".

- French vowels are generally more open and clearer than English vowels. Practice saying the words slowly and carefully, focusing on the vowel sounds.

- The letter "s" at the end of a word is usually silent in French.

This is just a starting point for understanding this complex Arabic sentence. Keep practicing and you'll be speaking French in no time!

- "Ils ont accepté" is in the past tense (passé composé). It indicates an action that happened in the past and is finished. It is formed by the auxiliary verb "avoir" conjugated in the past tense ("ont") + the past participle of the main verb "accepter" ("accepté").

- "d'être" is the infinitive form of the verb "être" (to be) preceded by the preposition "de" which introduces an infinitive phrase.

- "ont été" is in the past tense (passé composé) as well. It's the same formation as "ils ont accepté."

- "marqués au sceau" is a past participle ("marqués") that is used as an adjective to modify the noun "cœurs."

- "si bien que" is a conjunction that connects two clauses and indicates a consequence. It is followed by a clause in the indicative mood.

- "ne comprennent pas" is a negative sentence. The negation "ne" is placed before the verb and the "pas" is placed after it.

(si (see), vous (voo), êtes (ayt), croyants (krwa-yahn), If you are believers) Grammar rules

- "de ceux qui craignent Dieu" (from those who fear God): The word "qui" is a relative pronoun, which acts as the subject of the verb "craignent" (fear) in the relative clause. The relative clause modifies the noun "ceux" (those)

- "vous serez victorieux" (you will be victorious): The verb "être" (to be) is conjugated in the future tense (serez) to indicate an action that will happen in the future.

- "reliez-vous" (rely) This verb is in the reflexive form. A reflexive pronoun is used when the subject of the verb is also the object.

Pronunciation Notes:

- "eux" (them) - the "x" in "eux" is pronounced like a "z" sound

- "serez" (will be) - The "z" in "serez" is pronounced like a "z" sound

- "Dieu" (God) - The "u" in "Dieu" is pronounced like a "u" in the word "flute"

Important Note:

This is a literal translation. The French wording could be improved to be more natural and less formal.

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the second part: "Si vous êtes croyants en Ses signes". This is used to express a condition or supposition.

- The past participle "invoqué" agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, which is "nom" (masculine singular).

- The plural form of "croyants" is used because the subject is "vous" (you, plural).

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the sounds "ah" and "eh" in words like "alors" and "été". They are pronounced differently from the English "a" and "e".

- The letter "s" is often silent at the end of words in French.

- "d'Allah" is pronounced as one word, with the "d" being silent, just like "l'amour" (love).

- Notice the use of the subjunctive mood in "Il pardonnera à qui Il veut" and "Il punira qui Il veut." The subjunctive is used to express a wish, possibility, or opinion, and it's common in French when talking about what someone wants or desires.

English Translation:

To God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on earth. And if you reveal what is in your hearts or if you hide it, God will hold you accountable for it. He will forgive whom He wishes and He will punish whom He wishes. And God is powerful over all things.

French: Alors, qui se détourne après cela, ceux-là sont les impies.

English: Then, whoever turns away after that, those are the wicked.

Breakdown:

- Alors: Then (pronounced "ah-lor")

- qui: who (pronounced "kee")

- se détourne: turns away (pronounced "suh day-toorn")

- après: after (pronounced "ah-pray")

- cela: that (pronounced "suh-lah")

- ceux-là: those (pronounced "suh-lay")

- sont: are (pronounced "sohn")

- les: the (pronounced "lay")

- impies: wicked (pronounced "ahn-pee")

Grammar:

- The use of "ceux-là" is a more emphatic way of saying "those" in French. It emphasizes that these specific people are the ones who are wicked.

- The word order in the French sentence is slightly different from the English one. This is because French is a more flexible language in terms of word order, allowing for greater emphasis on certain words.

- The verb "se détourner" is a reflexive verb, which means it is used with the reflexive pronoun "se" before the verb. This indicates that the action of turning away is being done by the subject itself.

This explanation provides a good starting point for understanding the sentence, but it's important to remember that there are always nuances and complexities in language. To gain a deeper understanding, it's essential to consult with a language tutor or textbook and practice speaking and writing in French as much as possible.

French Translation:

- Et - And (pronounced: eh)

- ne donnez pas - do not give (pronounced: nuh don-nay pah) - Grammar note: This is the negative form of the verb "donner" (to give) in the imperative form, meaning "do not give".

- vos biens - your goods/property (pronounced: vo be-ahn) - Grammar note: This is a plural noun, "biens" meaning "goods" or "property".

- à ceux qui sont insensés - to those who are foolish (pronounced: ah soh kee sohn an-san-say)

- que Dieu vous a donné - that God has given you (pronounced: kuh dye voo ah don-nay) - Grammar note: This is a relative clause, meaning it adds more information about "vos biens".

- pour subsistance - for sustenance/livelihood (pronounced: poor soo-bee-stahnce)

- Nourrissez-les - Feed them (pronounced: noo-ree-say-leh) - Grammar note: This is the imperative form of the verb "nourrir" (to feed) in the plural form, meaning "feed them".

- et adressez-leur - and address to them (pronounced: eh ah-dre-say-luhr)

- des paroles agréables - pleasant words (pronounced: day pah-rohl ah-gray-ahbl)

Pronunciation Note: In French, the final consonant is typically silent, unless it is followed by a vowel sound. For example, "bien" is pronounced "be-ahn" but "les" is pronounced "leh".

Grammar Note: The sentence is structured as a series of imperatives, giving a list of instructions. The use of "que" introduces a relative clause and "pour" introduces a prepositional phrase.

French Translation:

Mais le Messager et ceux qui ont cru avec lui ont lutté avec leurs biens et leurs personnes. Et à ceux-là appartiennent les biens [du Paradis]. Et ceux-là sont les gagnants.

Word for Word Explanation:

- Mais (May) - But

- le Messager (luh meh-sah-zheh) - the Messenger (referring to Prophet Muhammad)

- et (eh) - and

- ceux (suh) - those

- ont cru (ohn kru) - have believed (past participle of croire - to believe)

- avec lui (ah-vehk lwee) - with him

- ont lutté (ohn loo-tay) - have fought (past participle of lutter - to fight)

- avec (ah-vehk) - with

- leurs biens (luhr bee-ahn) - their possessions (plural of bien - good, possession)

- et (eh) - and

- sont (sohn) - are

- les gagnants (lay gah-nyahn) - the winners

Grammar Notes:

- "Ceux qui ont cru avec lui" is a relative clause, meaning it describes the noun "ceux" (those). The verb "ont cru" is in the past participle because it is part of a compound verb.

- The phrase "les biens [du Paradis]" is a noun phrase, meaning it acts as a single unit. The brackets indicate that "du Paradis" is optional and provides more specific information about the "biens".

- The phrase "les gagnants" is a noun phrase acting as the predicate of the sentence.

Pronunciation Guide:

Remember to pay attention to the liaison in French, where the last consonant of a word can be linked to the first vowel of the next word. For example: "les biens" is pronounced "lay bee-ahn" with the "s" sound linked to the "b" sound.

Also, be careful with the final "t" sound in words like "lutté" and "appartiennent". It is often silent, but can be pronounced slightly if the following word starts with a vowel.

French Translation:

Et si vous êtes tués dans le chemin d'Allah, ou si vous mourez, une miséricorde d'Allah et Sa grâce sont meilleures que ce qu'ils amassent.

Word for Word Breakdown:

- Et si vous êtes tués: "Et si vous êtes tués" - et si vous êtes tués (et si vous êtes tués) - This phrase introduces a conditional statement, meaning "if you are killed."

- dans le chemin d'Allah: "dans le chemin d'Allah" - dans le chemin d'Allah (dans le chemin d'Allah) - This translates to "in the way of Allah." It refers to fighting for the faith.

- une miséricorde d'Allah: "une miséricorde d'Allah" - une miséricorde d'Allah (une miséricorde d'Allah) - This refers to God's mercy.

- sont meilleures que ce qu'ils amassent: "sont meilleures que ce qu'ils amassent" - sont meilleures que ce qu'ils amassent (sont meilleures que ce qu'ils amassent) - This refers to the material wealth that people in this world gather.

English Translation:

And if you are killed in the way of Allah, or if you die, the mercy of Allah and His grace are better than what they gather.

Grammar Notes

The sentence uses the conditional mood in French, which is expressed with "si" (if) followed by a verb in the present tense. The main verb in the conditional clause is "êtes tués" (are killed) and "mourez" (die), both in the present tense. The main verb in the main clause is "sont" (are) in the present tense, agreeing with the subject "miséricorde d'Allah et Sa grâce" (Allah's mercy and His grace).

The phrase "ce qu'ils amassent" (what they gather) is a relative clause that modifies the noun "ce" (what). It refers to the material wealth that people accumulate in this world.

Grammar Note: The French sentence uses the past tense "étaient" to describe the permissibility of food for the Israelites. The English sentence uses the past tense "were" to convey the same meaning.

Grammar Note: The French sentence utilizes the subjunctive mood in the phrase "ne soit révélée." This is because the sentence conveys a hypothetical or conditional statement.

Pronunciation Note: The French sentence has a few key vowel sounds that may be difficult for an English speaker to pronounce: "ou" as in "tous" and "eu" as in "étaient." It's important to practice these sounds to improve pronunciation.

Grammar Notes:

- The phrase "comme Il mérite d'être craint" is a complex phrase, literally meaning "as He deserves to be feared." This emphasizes the full and appropriate respect due to Allah.

- The sentence utilizes a double negative construction with "ne" and "excepté" which negates the idea of dying without being Muslim.

Grammar Rules:

- Past Tense: The past tense used in this sentence is the passé composé, which is formed with the auxiliary verb avoir (to have) and the past participle of the main verb. For example, ont dit (have said) is formed with ont (they have) and dit (said).

- Conditional Tense: The conditional tense is used to express hypothetical situations. The conditional passé is used to express hypothetical situations that occurred in the past. For example, n'auriez pas été tués (would not have been killed) is formed with n'auriez (would not have) and été tués (been killed).

- Reflexive Pronouns: Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject of the verb is also the object of the verb. For example, se sont assis (have sat down) is reflexive because the subject ils (they) is also the object of the verb s'asseoir (to sit down).

Pronunciation Assistance:

- The French language is phonetic. This means that words are pronounced as they are spelled.

- The stress in French words is usually on the last syllable.

- There are some silent letters in French, such as the "e" at the end of words.

- The "r" sound is pronounced like the English "r" but rolled.

- The "u" sound is pronounced like the "oo" sound in English.

- The French sentence uses the participle past "fait" ("made") with the auxiliary verb "avoir" ("to have") to form the past tense.

- The word "cela" can refer to either the entire previous clause (the Lord making the speaker leave his home) or specifically to the act of leaving the home. The context is important here.

English Translation:

And it is He who created you from a single soul, and from it He made its mate, and He sent down for you livestock in eight pairs.

Explanation:

This sentence uses the pronoun Il (he) to refer to God. The phrase vous a créés is the past participle of the verb créer (to create) used with the auxiliary verb avoir (to have). The phrase d'une seule âme means "from a single soul." The pronoun celle-ci (this one) refers back to the soul. The phrase Il a fait son couple means "He made its mate." The phrase Il a fait descendre pour vous du bétail means "He sent down for you livestock." The word bétail (livestock) is masculine in French. The phrase en huit couples means "in eight pairs."

Grammar Points

This sentence uses the past participle of the verb créer (to create) after the auxiliary verb avoir (to have). This is a common grammatical construction in French. The phrase d'une seule âme is a prepositional phrase that modifies the noun âme (soul). The phrase pour vous is a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb descendre (to descend).

French Translation:

- The French translation of "épousez-les" uses the imperative form of the verb "épouser" (to marry), showing that the speaker is providing a direct instruction.

- The use of "non" before "adultères" and "débauchées" emphasizes that these qualities are unacceptable.

- The phrase "la moitié du châtiment" (half of the punishment) implies that the punishment for free women is more severe than for slaves.

- The final statement "Dieu est Pardonneur et Miséricordieux" (God is Forgiving and Merciful) provides a sense of comfort and hope.

- Tense: The tense of the verb must be appropriate for the context of the sentence. For example, "ils ne voulaient" (they did not want) because the action is in the past.

- Prepositions: Prepositions are used to connect words and phrases. For example, "à cause de" (because of), "en jurant" (by swearing), "par Allah" (by Allah), and "à toi" (to you).

- Pronoun Placement: In French, the pronoun object usually comes before the verb. For example, "qu'ils ne voulaient" (that they did not want) because the pronoun "qu'ils" (that they) comes before the verb "voulaient" (did not want).

Pronunciation:

- French pronunciation is different from English pronunciation. Pay close attention to the sounds of each letter and how they combine to form words.

- Practice saying the words out loud. This will help you to improve your pronunciation.

French Translation:

Et craignez le jour où vous serez ramenés à Allah, puis chaque âme recevra ce qu'elle a gagné, et ils ne seront pas lésés.

English Breakdown:

- Et - And (pronounced: eh)

- craignez - fear (pronounced: kray-nay)

- le jour - the day (pronounced: luh zhoor)

- où - where, when (pronounced: oo)

Grammar Rule:

The sentence uses the future tense for the verbs "craignez," "seront ramenés," "recevra," and "seront lésés" because it is talking about something that will happen in the future. In French, the future tense is formed by adding the following endings to the infinitive of the verb:

- -ai for the first person singular (je)

- -as for the second person singular (tu)

- -a for the third person singular (il, elle, on)

- -ons for the first person plural (nous)

- -ez for the second person plural (vous)

- -ont for the third person plural (ils, elles)

Example:

The verb "craindre" (to fear) becomes "craindrai" (I will fear), "craindras" (you will fear), "craindra" (he/she/one will fear), etc.

They said: "We were wronged before you came to us and after you came to us." He said: "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you inherit the land, then He will see how you act."

- "Dieu" is capitalized in French when referring to the Christian God.

- The verb "dire" (to say) conjugates as "dirent" in the past tense for the plural subject "les Juifs et les Chrétiens."

- The verb "punir" (to punish) is used in the third person singular "punit-il" to refer to "Dieu."

- The pronoun "Il" (He) is used throughout to refer to "Dieu."

- The noun "royauté" (kingdom) is feminine, hence the use of the feminine definite article "la."

- The verb "retourner" (to return) is used in the future tense "retournerez" to refer to the plural subject "vous."

Pronunciation Notes:

- The French "u" sound is similar to the English "oo" sound, as in "moon."

- The French "e" sound in words like "les," "de," and "et" is similar to the English "uh" sound, as in "the" and "but."

- The French "r" is always pronounced, even at the end of words.

- "parvenue" is the past participle of the verb "parvenir" (to reach), used in the passive voice.

- "fit" is the past definite of the verb "faire" (to do/make). This is a formal tense, often used in literary contexts.

- "donner" is a verb that takes a direct object, so "vous" is not preceded by a preposition.

Pronunciation Note:

- Remember to pronounce the "e" at the end of words like "parole" and "étendue."

- The "u" in words like "vous" and "du" is a silent vowel.

French Translation:

Le jour où les visages blanchissent et où les visages noircissent. Quant à ceux dont les visages ont noirci, "Avez-vous mécru après avoir cru ? Alors goûtez au châtiment pour ce que vous avez mécru."

English Breakdown:

- Le jour où les visages blanchissent - The day when the faces become white (pronounced: "luh zhoor oo lay vee-zahzh blah-shees")

- et où les visages noircissent - and where the faces become black (pronounced: "ay oo lay vee-zahzh nwar-sees")

- Quant à ceux dont les visages ont noirci - As for those whose faces have blackened (pronounced: "kahn tah se doh lay vee-zahzh oh nwar-see")

- pour ce que vous avez mécru. - for what you disbelieved. (pronounced: "poor seh kuh voo ah-vay may-kroo.")

Grammar Note:

- The French sentence structure is different from English. We see "Quant à ceux..." which is used for emphasis, similar to "As for...".

- The French "avoir cru" means "to have believed," but the English phrase "did you disbelieve after you believed?" reflects the grammatical structure of the Arabic sentence more accurately.

This breakdown provides a simple explanation of the French words and how they function in the sentence. It's important to remember that translation is not a simple word-for-word process; it involves understanding the meaning of the source text and conveying it accurately in the target language.

English Breakdown and Pronunciation:

- Et (ay) - And

- quiconque (kee-konk) - whoever, anyone who

- commet (ko-may) - commits

- un (uhn) - a

- péché (pay-shay) - sin

- ou (oo) - or

Grammar Notes:

- "Quiconque" is a pronoun that means "whoever" or "anyone who." It is often used to introduce a relative clause, which is a clause that modifies a noun or pronoun. In this case, the relative clause is "commet un péché ou une faute."

- "L'impute" is a verb that means "to impute" or "to attribute." It is used in the third person singular form because the subject of the verb is "quiconque," which is singular.

- "A assumé" is a verb that means "has assumed." It is used in the third person singular form because the subject of the verb is "quiconque," which is singular.

Pronunciation:

- "Quiconque" is pronounced with a silent "e" at the end.

- "L'impute" is pronounced with a silent "e" at the end.

- "A assumé" is pronounced with a silent "e" at the end.

- "Calomnie" is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable.

- "Manifeste" is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable.

In general, French pronunciation is fairly straightforward. It is helpful to note that vowels are typically pronounced as they are in English, with a few exceptions (like the "e" at the end of words). Additionally, French has a number of silent letters. For example, the "e" at the end of many words is silent, and the "h" at the beginning of many words is silent.

French Translation:

Ils trompent Dieu et ceux qui croient, et ils ne trompent que eux-mêmes, et ils ne s'en rendent pas compte.

Grammar Note: In French, the verb conjugation changes based on the subject and tense. In this sentence, the verb "tromper" (to deceive) is conjugated in the present tense for both "ils" (they) and "eux-mêmes" (themselves).

The sentence also uses the "ne...que" construction which emphasizes that they are only deceiving themselves and no one else.

- The "r" sound in French is a soft, guttural sound, unlike the English "r".

Avez-vous peur d'eux (ah-vay voo pur deh): Are you afraid of them? "Avez" (ah-vay) is the present tense of the verb "avoir" (to have) conjugated for "vous" (you). "Peur" (pur) is a feminine noun meaning "fear." "D'eux" (deh) is a pronoun meaning "of them."

- Nous (noo) - We

- te (tuh) - you

- les (lay) - them (referring to messengers)

Grammar Note: "Nous te les avons déjà racontés" and "Nous ne t'avons pas racontés" are examples of the passé composé tense in French, which is used to describe actions that have been completed in the past. The structure is:

- Auxiliary verb (avoir/être) in the present tense + past participle

In this case, the auxiliary verb is "avoir" (to have) because the verb "raconter" (to tell) is a transitive verb (it takes a direct object).

Pronunciation Note: The "s" at the end of "messagers" is silent, as is the "s" at the end of "racontés".

French Translation:

Et je leur dicterai, car Mon stratagème est solide.

Word for Word Explanation:

- Et (eh) - And

- je (zhuh) - I

- leur (lur) - them

- dicterai (dik-teh-ray) - dictate (future tense of "dicter")

- car (kar) - because, for

- Mon (moh) - my

- stratagème (stra-ta-zhem) - scheme, stratagem

- est (eh) - is

- solide (so-lid) - solid

Grammar Notes:

- "Je leur dicterai" is a future tense conjugation of the verb "dicter" (to dictate). The future tense is formed by adding "-ai" to the stem of the verb.

- The word "car" is used as a conjunction here, meaning it connects two clauses together. It translates to "because" or "for".

English Translation:

And I will dictate to them, for my stratagem is strong.

French Translation:

Il se détourna d'eux et dit: "Ô mon peuple, je vous ai bien transmis le message de mon Seigneur et je vous ai conseillé, mais vous n'aimez pas les conseillers."

English Translation:

He turned away from them and said: "O my people, I have indeed conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like those who advise."

Important Grammar Note: The French uses the past tense (passé composé) for the verbs se détourna, dit, ai transmis, ai conseillé, and aimez because they are actions that have already happened.

This is a very common tense in French and is often used in storytelling.

S'il y a deux sœurs, elles héritent des deux tiers de ses biens. Si ce sont des frères et sœurs, l'homme hérite du double de la part de la femme.

English Word-for-Word Breakdown:

En vérité, Allah ne pardonne pas qu'on Lui associe des partenaires, mais Il pardonne ce qui est en deçà de cela à qui Il veut. Et quiconque associe des partenaires à Allah, se sera égaré d'un égarement lointain.

- En vérité, (en vérité) - "En vérité" is used for emphasis, similar to "indeed" or "truly".

- Allah - Allah, the name of God in Arabic.

- ne pardonne pas - "ne pardonne pas" means "does not forgive". It is the negative form of the verb "pardonner" (to forgive).

- Gender agreement: "Allah" is a masculine noun, so the pronouns and verb conjugations used to refer to it are masculine: "Il" (He) and "pardonne" (forgives).

- Negation: The negative "ne" is placed before the verb "pardonne" and the second part of the negation "pas" follows the verb.

- Pronoun placement: The pronouns "Lui" and "Il" are placed before the verbs they refer to, which is common in French.

- Word order: French word order is generally subject-verb-object, but there can be some variations.

- The word "Son" is capitalized because it refers to the Lord, who is a proper noun.

- The sentence follows the standard word order of Subject-Verb-Object.

Breakdown:

- Sachez bien (Sa-shay bien) - This phrase translates to "Know for sure," and it emphasizes the certainty of the statement.

- que (que) - This is a conjunction meaning "that" which introduces the clause.

- les alliés d'Allah (lay a-li-ay d'A-lah) - This translates to "the allies of Allah." "Alliés" (a-li-ay) is the plural of "allié" (a-li-ay) which means "ally". "D'Allah" is a prepositional phrase meaning "of Allah".

- n'ont aucune crainte (nohn o-kun krant) - This translates to "have no fear". The negation "n'ont" (nohn) is attached to the verb "ont" (ohn) meaning "have". "Aucune" (o-kun) is the feminine singular form of the indefinite pronoun "aucun" (o-kun) meaning "no".

- et ne sont pas tristes (eh ne sont pah trist) - This translates to "and are not sad". The negation "ne" (ne) is attached to the verb "sont" (sohn) meaning "are". "Pas" (pah) is a negation particle meaning "not". The adjective "tristes" (trist) means "sad".

Grammar Points:

- Negation in French: French uses a double negation structure with both "ne" (ne) and a negation particle like "pas" (pah) or "aucun" (o-kun).

- Adjectives in French: Adjectives in French agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For example, "aucune" (o-kun) agrees with the feminine singular noun "crainte" (krant).

- Prepositions : "Pour" (for) is used to indicate purpose or destination.

French Translation:

Mais ce qu'ils cachaient auparavant leur est apparu. (May see-koo keel kah-shay oh-pah-rah-vah leur eh ah-pah-roo)

Et s'ils étaient renvoyés, ils retourneraient à ce dont ils ont été interdits. (eh see-lee eh-tay ren-voy-ay, eel ruh-toor-neh-ray ah suh don eel on eh-tay in-ter-dee)

Et en vérité, ils sont menteurs. (eh on ve-ri-tay, eel son mon-tur)

Word-for-Word Explanation:

- Mais: But (pronounced "May") - This is a conjunction that introduces a contrasting idea.

- ce qu'ils cachaient: What they were hiding (pronounced "suh keel kah-shay") - "ce" means "what" and "qu'ils cachaient" is the past participle of the verb "cacher" (to hide) conjugated in the third person plural.

- auparavant: before (pronounced "oh-pah-rah-vah") - This is an adverb that means "previously."

- leur est apparu: has appeared to them (pronounced "leur eh ah-pah-roo") - "leur" means "to them," "est" is the verb "to be" in the third person singular present tense, and "apparu" is the past participle of the verb "apparaître" (to appear).

- Et: And (pronounced "eh") - This is a conjunction that connects two clauses.

- s'ils étaient renvoyés: if they were sent back (pronounced "see-lee eh-tay ren-voy-ay") - "s'ils" means "if they," "étaient" is the past participle of the verb "être" (to be) in the third person plural, and "renvoyés" is the past participle of the verb "renvoyer" (to send back).

- ils retourneraient: they would return (pronounced "eel ruh-toor-neh-ray") - "ils" means "they" and "retourneraient" is the conditional tense of the verb "retourner" (to return) in the third person plural.

- à ce dont: to what (pronounced "ah suh don") - "à" means "to" and "ce dont" means "what."

- ils ont été interdits: they were forbidden (pronounced "eel on eh-tay in-ter-dee") - "ils" means "they," "ont été" is the past participle of the verb "être" (to be) conjugated in the third person plural with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have), and "interdits" is the past participle of the verb "interdire" (to forbid).

- menteurs: liars (pronounced "mon-tur") - This is a noun that means "liars."

Grammar Rules:

- Past Participle Agreement: In French, the past participle of verbs agrees with the direct object if it precedes the verb. In the sentence "ce qu'ils cachaient," "cachaient" agrees with "ce" because it's the direct object.

- Conditional Tense: The conditional tense is used to express hypothetical or conditional situations. It is formed by adding the endings "-ais," "-ais," "-ait," "-ions," "-iez," "-aient" to the stem of the verb. In the sentence "ils retourneraient," "retourneraient" is in the conditional tense.

- Direct Object Pronouns: The direct object pronouns "le," "la," "les," "l'" are used to replace the object of a verb. In the sentence "leur est apparu," "leur" is a direct object pronoun that replaces "ce qu'ils cachaient."

English Translation:

"But what they had been hiding has been revealed to them. And if they were sent back, they would return to what they were forbidden. And indeed, they are liars."

The French translation is:

This sentence uses the passé composé which is formed by using the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) conjugated in the past tense (in this case "a") + the past participle of the verb. The past participle of the verb "comprendre" (to understand) is "compris" which is why we have "il a compris".

This sentence also uses the present tense of the verb "être" (to be) in the form "était".

- Vous (pronunciation: Voo) - This is the formal "you" in French, used when addressing someone with respect.

- Soyez descendu (pronunciation: Swa deh-sahn-doo) - This is the passive voice of the verb "descendre" (to descend) in the subjunctive mood, which is used to express a wish or desire.

- The phrase "la plupart" is used to indicate "most" in French and is usually followed by "des" + a noun. For example, "most of the people" becomes "la plupart des gens."

- The present tense of the verb "savoir" (to know) is used to indicate that someone is aware of something. For example, "most of the people do not know" becomes "la plupart des gens ne savent pas."

Grammar Note:

Pronunciation Assistance:

- "Allah" is pronounced "ah-lah" in French.

- The "r" sound in French is often a soft, rolling sound, unlike the English "r".

Additional Notes:

- The sentence refers to a specific event in Islamic history, which you may want to research for a deeper understanding of the context.

- The phrase "mettre à l'épreuve" can also be translated as "put to the test" or "try" in English.

French Translation:

Il donne (don-neh) la (la) vie (vee) et (ay) il (eel) fait (fay) mourir (moo-reer) et (ay) c'est (say) à (ah) lui (lwee) que (kuh) vous (voo) serez (seh-ray) ramenés (rah-meh-nay).

- à - to (ah)

- lui - him (lwee)

- que - that (kuh)

- vous - you (voo)

- serez - will be (seh-ray)

- ramenés - brought back (rah-meh-nay)

Grammar Notes:

- Il donne la vie - This uses the verb "donner" (to give) in the third person singular present tense, which means "he gives".

- Il fait mourir - This is a common structure in French where "faire" (to make) + infinitive is used to express "cause to do something" or "make someone do something".

- C'est à lui que vous serez ramenés - This uses "c'est" (it is), "à" (to), and "que" (that) to indicate the destination of the action. The verb "ramenés" is in the future tense, showing the action of being brought back will happen in the future.

French Translation:

Alors Allah les récompensa pour ce qu'ils avaient dit, de jardins où coulent des rivières, éternels dedans. Et cela est la récompense des bienfaisants.

Word-for-word breakdown and pronunciation:

- qu'ils (keel) - they

- avaient (ah-veh) - had

- la (lah) - the

- récompense (ray-kom-pahn-suh) - reward

- des (day) - of

- bienfaisants (bee-an-feh-zahn) - the benevolent

Grammar:

- The use of “ils” (they) is important, as it signifies the plural subject in the French translation.

- The phrase “des jardins où coulent des rivières” is a beautiful example of how French uses prepositional phrases to express location and action.

- “éternels” is an adjective agreeing in gender and number with “jardins”.

- “dedans” functions as a noun and means “inside” or “within”

Pronunciation Tip:

- French pronunciation often sounds softer and less forceful than English, especially with vowels. Pay attention to the liaisons, where sounds connect at the end of one word and the beginning of the next, like "où coulent" (oo-koo-lahn)

This sentence is an example of how the French language uses a combination of verbs, nouns, adjectives, and prepositions to express complex ideas in a beautiful and concise way.

French Translation:

Qui est celui qui prête à Allah un prêt agréable, afin qu'Il le lui multiplie plusieurs fois ? Et Allah resserre et accorde, et c'est à Lui que vous serez ramenés.

11. que vous serez ramenés - kuh voo seh-reh rah-meh-nay - that you will be returned

Grammar Note:

- The French sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the phrase "afin qu'Il le lui multiplie" (so that He multiplies it for him). This is because the phrase expresses a wish, a desire, or a purpose.

- The pronoun "Il" (He) refers to Allah.

English Translation:

But those who fear their Lord will have gardens where rivers flow, they will remain there eternally, a lodging near Allah. And what is with Allah is better for the righteous.

French Translation:

- "r" at the end of a word is usually silent, except when followed by a vowel.

Grammar Notes:

- The verb "être" (to be) is used in the subjunctive mood in the phrase "qu'il ne soit pas". This is because the sentence is expressing a desire or a wish.

- The verb "avertisser" (to warn) is used in the subjunctive mood in the phrase "afin que tu avertisse". This is because the sentence is expressing a purpose.

- The pronoun "lui" (it) is used instead of "le" (the) because the sentence is referring to the book.

English Translation:

A book has been revealed to you, so let there be no discomfort in your heart because of it, so that you may warn with it and it be a reminder for the believers.

French Translation:

Et recite-leur, en vérité, l'histoire des fils d'Adam. Quand ils offrirent un sacrifice, il fut agréé de l'un d'eux et non de l'autre. Il dit: «Je vais te tuer». Il répondit: «Allah n'accepte que des pieux.»

Word by Word Explanation:

- «Allah n'accepte que des pieux» (a-lah nahk-sept kuh deh pee-oo) - "Allah only accepts from the pious"

Grammar Notes:

- The French phrase "des fils d'Adam" uses the plural definite article "les" which is contracted to "des" because of the vowel sound at the beginning of "fils". This is a common occurrence in the French language.

- In French, the verb "to be" (être) is often omitted in the past tense, such as in the phrase "il fut agréé". It is understood by context.

- « » are quotation marks in French, so you should use those when quoting speech in your French translation.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- The "u" in "fut" and "un" is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon".

- The "e" at the end of a word is usually silent in French, so "il" would be pronounced as "eel", and "que" would be pronounced as "kuh".

- The "ch" in "acheter" is pronounced as a "sh" sound, like the "sh" in "ship".

- The "s" at the end of "fils" is silent.

- Pay close attention to the placement of the accent grave (`) on words like "agréé" and "il", which changes the pronunciation.

- ne (nuh) - not

- croit (krwa) - believes

- pas (pah) - not

- ?" - "?"

Grammar Note: In French, the verb "to be" (être) is often used in conjunction with adjectives to describe a state of being. Here, "attristé" is an adjective describing the state of being "saddened."

Pronunciation Note: The "r" sound in French is often softer than in English. In words like "pourrais-je" and "attristé," the "r" sound is more of a gentle vibration of the tongue in the back of the mouth.

French Translation:

Et si Nous avions fait descendre sur toi un Livre sur du papier, et qu'ils l'aient touché de leurs mains, ceux qui ont mécru auraient dit : "Ceci n'est que de la magie évidente."

Word-for-word Explanation:

- Et (ay) - And

- si (see) - if

- Nous (noo) - We

- avions (av-ee-on) - had

- fait (fe) - done

- descendre (dessahn-dr) - descend

- sur (soor) - on

- toi (twa) - you

- un (uhn) - a

- Livre (lee-vr) - Book

- sur (soor) - on

- du (doo) - of the

- papier (pa-pee-ay) - paper

- et (ay) - and

- qu'ils (keel) - that they

- l'aient (lay-ahn) - have

- touché (too-shay) - touched

- de (duh) - of

- leurs (lur) - their

- mains (man) - hands

- ceux (so) - those

- qui (kee) - who

- ont (on) - have

- mécru (may-kru) - disbelieved

- que (kuh) - than

- de (duh) - of

- la (la) - the

- magie (ma-jee) - magic

- évidente (ay-vee-dahn-t) - obvious"

Pronunciation Tips:

- The French "r" is pronounced in the back of your throat, almost like a gargle.

- The French "u" is pronounced like the "oo" in "moon".

- The French "e" can be silent or have a short "uh" sound depending on its position in the word.

Grammar Rules:

- The sentence uses the subjunctive mood in the phrase "qu'ils l'aient touché" (that they have touched). The subjunctive is used to express possibility, doubt, or a hypothetical situation.

- The verb "avoir" (to have) is used in the phrase "auraient dit" (would have said).

- The French language emphasizes agreement between the noun and its adjective. For example, "un Livre" (a book) is masculine singular, so the adjective "évidente" (obvious) is also feminine singular.

This sentence is a great example of using the subjunctive mood and showcasing the gender agreement rules in French. You can practice these grammatical points with other sentences to solidify your understanding of the language.

French Translation:

Dis: (dee) est-ce qu'il y a parmi vos associés qui commence la création puis la ramène ? (ess-tee kee ya par-mee vo-zah-so-see-ay kee ko-mans la krea-syon pwee la ra-men ?) Dis: (dee) c'est Allah qui commence la création puis la ramène. (say a-la ki ko-mans la krea-syon pwee la ra-men.) Alors comment êtes-vous détournés? (a-lor ko-man et-voo de-toor-nay ?)

- Dis: (dee) - Say

- est-ce qu'il y a: (ess-tee kee ya) - is there

- parmi vos associés: (par-mee vo-zah-so-see-ay) - among your partners/associates

- qui commence: (kee ko-mans) - who begins

- la création: (la krea-syon) - the creation

Grammar Notes:

- "Qui" is a relative pronoun meaning "who" or "that."

- "Puis" means "then" and is used to connect two actions.

- "Comment" is an interrogative adverb meaning "how."

- "Êtes-vous" is the second person plural form of the verb "être" (to be) used in a question.

This sentence is a direct translation of the Arabic. It maintains the structure and grammar of the original text, which is not always the most natural sounding French. To make it sound more natural, you would rephrase it to: "Dites-moi, y a-t-il parmi vos associés quelqu'un qui puisse commencer la création et la ramener ? Dites-moi, c'est Allah qui commence la création et la ramène. Alors comment êtes-vous détournés ?"

This version would be more common in French, but it is important to understand the grammatical structure of the direct translation to fully appreciate the nuance and meaning of the original Arabic text.

French Translation:

Ceux-là sont sur la guidance de leur Seigneur, et ceux-là sont les gagnants. (pronounced: Sû-la- sa sür la gwi-dans duh lur Sɛ-gnœr, ɛ sû-la sa sũ le ga-ɲã)

English Word-for-Word Explanation:

- Ceux-là (pronounced: Sû-la) - These (plural) - the pronoun "ceux-là" is used to specify that the people are already mentioned

- sont (pronounced: sũ) - are - this is the third person plural form of the verb "être" (to be)

- sur (pronounced: sür) - on - this word indicates location, in this case, it is used metaphorically to describe the state of being guided

- la (pronounced: la) - the - the definite article "la" specifies "guidance"

- guidance (pronounced: gwi-dans) - guidance - the noun "guidance" refers to being directed and led

- de (pronounced: duh) - of - this preposition indicates possession

- leur (pronounced: lœr) - their - the possessive pronoun "leur" refers to the guidance belonging to the people

- Seigneur (pronounced: Sɛ-gnœr) - Lord - this noun refers to the creator and supreme being, the one who provides guidance

- et (pronounced: ɛ) - and - this conjunction connects the two parts of the sentence

- ceux-là (pronounced: sû-la) - These (plural) - the pronoun "ceux-là" is used to specify that the people are already mentioned

- sont (pronounced: sũ) - are - this is the third person plural form of the verb "être" (to be)

- les (pronounced: le) - the - the definite article "les" specifies "winners"

- gagnants (pronounced: ga-ɲã) - winners - the noun "gagnants" refers to those who have succeeded and achieved victory

Grammar Notes:

- Agreement: The verbs "sont" (are) agree in number and person with the plural subject "ceux-là" (these)

- Definite articles: The definite articles "la" (the) and "les" (the) are used before the nouns "guidance" and "winners" respectively.

- Possessive pronouns: The possessive pronoun "leur" (their) is used to show possession of the guidance by the people.

- Word order: In French, the verb is typically placed after the subject (e.g., "Ceux-là sont"), however, the sentence structure can be adjusted for emphasis or clarity.

Grammar Notes:

- Punissez-les - In French, verbs are conjugated to agree with the subject and object. The verb "punir" (to punish) is conjugated in the imperative form (punissez) because the sentence is a command. "-les" is the object pronoun attached to the verb.

- s'ils se repentent et se réforment - This sentence uses the subjunctive mood, which is used to express a possibility or a wish. The subjunctive form of "se repentir" (to repent) is "se repentent" and the subjunctive form of "se reformer" (to reform) is "se réforment".

- détournez-vous d’eux - This sentence also uses the imperative form of the verb "détourner" (to turn away). "-vous" is the reflexive pronoun, indicating that the subject is acting upon themselves.

Grammar Notes:

- "leur prophète leur dit" - This uses the dative pronoun "leur" twice. The first "leur" is the indirect object pronoun indicating who the prophet is speaking to, and the second "leur" is the direct object pronoun indicating what the prophet is saying.

- "Il n’a pas reçu d’abondance de biens" - This is a negative construction using the negative "ne" and the past participle "reçu". It also uses the partitive article "d'" before "abondance" because it refers to an indefinite amount of something.

- "Allah l’a choisi sur vous" - This sentence uses the past participle "choisi" in the agreement form "choisi" because the subject "Allah" is masculine.

- "Allah donne son royaume à qui il veut" - This sentence uses the indirect object pronoun "à qui" to indicate who receives the kingdom.

- "Et Allah est vaste et savant" - This sentence describes Allah using two adjectives, "vaste" and "savant", connected by the conjunction "et".

Pronunciation Tips:

- "leur" (pronounced "lur") is a French word that is often mispronounced by English speakers. Pay attention to the "r" sound which is a soft, almost silent "r".

- "Talut" (pronounced "Tah-loo") has a slightly different pronunciation than the English word "tallow". The "a" sound is similar to the "a" in "father".

- "d’abondance" (pronounced "dah-bon-dons") has a silent "e" at the end.

- "corps" (pronounced "kor") has a silent "s".

- "savant" (pronounced "sah-von") has a silent "t" at the end.

- The phrase "en étant soumis" expresses a condition or a state of being.

English Translation:

You want nothing from us except that we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, grant us patience and cause us to die as Muslims.

French Translation:

Et ne soyez pas comme ceux qui ont dit : "Nous avons entendu", alors qu'ils n'écoutent pas. (Eh nuh so-yay pah kom suh ki oh di: "noo ah ah-tan-doo", a-lor ki il nuh eh-koot pah.)

Word for Word Breakdown:

- Et: And (eh)

- ne soyez pas: Do not be (nuh so-yay pah)

- comme: Like (kom)

- ceux: Those (suh)

- qui: who (ki)

- ont dit: have said (oh di)

- "Nous avons entendu": "We have heard" (noo ah ah-tan-doo) - This is a direct translation of the Arabic phrase, and it's important to understand that this is a direct quote.

- alors que: While (a-lor ki) - This is a conjunction used to introduce a contrast or contradiction.

- ils: They (il)

- n'écoutent pas: Do not listen (nuh eh-koot pah)

Grammar Notes:

- Ne...pas: This is the negative construction in French, similar to "not" in English. It goes around the verb.

- "Nous avons entendu": This is a quote within the sentence, so it's enclosed in quotation marks. In French, quotes use "guillemets", which are angled marks ( « » ) rather than straight ones ("").

Pronunciation Tips:

- "Nous avons entendu": The "s" at the end of "nous" is silent. "Nous" sounds like "noo" and "entendu" sounds like "ah-tan-doo".

- "écoutent": The "t" at the end of "écoutent" is silent. It sounds like "eh-koot".

Note: The Arabic sentence is a quote from the Quran, which means this French translation might also be found in the French translation of the Quran.

Pronunciation Tips:

- French pronunciation is highly dependent on the context of the word. Pay close attention to the sounds of vowels and the placement of accents.

- The letter "e" at the end of a word is usually silent, but it can have a subtle effect on the pronunciation of the previous vowel.

- Practice the sounds of the French "r" and the French "u" which can be challenging for English speakers.

- When in doubt, listen to audio pronunciations of the words to get the best pronunciation.

- Relative Clause: The phrase "qui ont été injustes" is a relative clause that modifies the noun "ceux." This clause provides additional information about the people mentioned.

- Conjunction "Et": The conjunction "et" links the two parts of the sentence, which are independent clauses.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- The French "e" sound is like the English "e" in "bed".

- The French "u" sound is like the English "oo" in "moon".

- The French "i" sound is like the English "ee" in "see".

Breakdown:

- Là-bas - There (pronounced: la-ba)

- Zacharie - Zachariah (pronounced: Za-ka-ri)

- impiora - implored (pronounced: im-plo-ra)

- son Seigneur - his Lord (pronounced: son se-nyer)

Grammar Notes:

- "Tu es" is the second-person singular present tense of the verb "être," meaning "to be."

- "Celui qui entend" is a relative clause that modifies "Tu." It is in the singular because it refers to "Tu," which is singular.

English Translation:

There, Zachariah prayed to his Lord. He said, "Lord, grant me from You a righteous descendant. For You are the One who hears prayers."

French Translation:

Et ils ne peuvent pas leur apporter de secours, et ils ne peuvent pas se secourir eux-mêmes. (ay te pœv pa lœr a-pɔrte də səkʊr, e i ne pœv pa sə səkʊri œ sœm)

Word-for-Word Breakdown:

- Et (ay) - and

Grammar Notes:

- Ne... pas (nə... pa) is used to negate verbs in French. It is placed before the verb.

- Leur (lœr) is the direct object pronoun for "them." It is used in this sentence because the verb "apporter" (to bring) is a direct object verb.

- Eux-mêmes (œ sœm) is a reflexive pronoun, which means it refers back to the subject of the sentence. It is used in this sentence because the verb "secourir" (to help) is a reflexive verb.

- Note: There is no gender-specific translation for the pronoun "they". In French, "ils" is the pronoun for both masculine and feminine.

French Translation:

Et même si Nous avions fait descendre vers eux les anges, et que les morts leur eussent parlé, et que Nous eussions rassemblé sur eux toutes choses d'avance, ils n'auraient pas cru, sauf si Allah le voulait. Mais la plupart d'entre eux sont ignorants.

- "meilleur" is an irregular adjective, which means that it changes its spelling depending on the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

- The French word for "assistant" is "assistant" in the singular and "assistants" in the plural.

French Translation:

Et si Allah te touche par un mal, il n'y a personne qui puisse le faire disparaître sauf Lui. Et s'Il veut te faire du bien, il n'y a personne qui puisse empêcher Sa grâce. Il donne à qui Il veut parmi Ses serviteurs. Et Il est le Pardonneur, le Miséricordieux.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the stress in the words.

- The "u" sound in French is different from English.

- "r" is always pronounced.

- The "s" at the end of a word is generally silent.

French Translation:

Et c'est Lui qui a créé les cieux et la terre en vérité. Et le jour où Il dira : "Sois !", et cela sera. Sa parole est la vérité. Et à Lui appartient la royauté le jour où l'on sonnera de la trompette. Connaisseur du caché et du visible. Et c'est Lui le Sage, l'Omniscient.

Word-for-Word Explanation:

- Et c'est Lui (et se-lu-ee) - And it is He

- qui a créé (kee ah kree-ay) - who created

- les cieux (lay syoo) - the heavens

- et la terre (eh lah ter) - and the earth

- en vérité (ahn ve-ri-tay) - in truth

- Et le jour (eh lu zhoor) - And the day

- où Il dira (oo eel di-ra) - where He will say

- "Sois !" (swa) - "Be!"

- et cela sera (eh suh-lah suh-ra) - and it will be

- Sa parole (sah pa-rol) - His word

- est la vérité (eh lah ve-ri-tay) - is the truth

- Et à Lui appartient (eh ah lui ah-par-tyen) - And to Him belongs

- la royauté (lah rwa-yo-tay) - the kingship

- le jour (lu zhoor) - the day

- de la trompette (duh lah trompet) - of the trumpet

- et du visible (eh du vi-zi-bl) - and of the visible

- Et c'est Lui (eh se-lu-ee) - And it is He

- le Sage (lu sazh) - the Wise

- l'Omniscient (lom-ni-syan) - the All-Knowing

Grammar Notes:

- The French word order is different than English. In French, the subject (the one doing the action) often comes after the verb. For example, qui a créé means "who created" - the subject ("who") is after the verb ("created").

- "Il" (eel) refers to God in this context.

- The phrase "le jour où" (lu zhoor oo) is a common way to introduce a specific day or time in French. It translates to "the day when/where".

- "La royauté" (lah rwa-yo-tay) is a feminine noun, so the pronoun "Lui" (lui) must agree with it in gender.

English Translation:

And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in truth. And the day He says, "Be," and it is. His word is the truth. And His is the dominion on the day the trumpet is blown. Knower of the unseen and the seen. And He is the Wise, the All-Knowing.

French Translation:

Et ceux qui ont mécru et ont démenti Nos versets, ceux-là seront les compagnons du Feu.

Word for Word Explanation:

- Et (eh) - And

- ceux (seuh) - those

- qui (kee) - who

- ont (ohn) - have (past participle of "avoir" - to have)

- mécru (may-kroo) - disbelieved (past participle of "mécroire" - to disbelieve)

- et (eh) - and

- ont (ohn) - have

- démenti (day-mon-tee) - denied (past participle of "démentir" - to deny)

- Nos (noh) - Our

- versets (vair-say) - verses

- ceux-là (seuh-lah) - those

- seront (suh-roh) - will be

- les (lay) - the

- compagnons (kom-pah-nyohn) - companions

- du (doo) - of the

- Feu (feuh) - Fire

Grammar Rules:

- "Ceux qui..." is a relative clause, meaning it describes the noun "ceux" (those). In English, it translates to "those who..."

- "ont mécru" and "ont démenti" are past participles used with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) to form the past tense. The past participle agrees in gender and number with the subject (in this case, "ceux").

- "Feu" is a masculine noun, so the definite article "le" (the) becomes "du" when used before a masculine noun.

English Translation:

And those who disbelieved and denied Our verses, they will be the companions of the Fire.

French Translation:

Comment pouvez-vous renier Dieu alors que vous étiez morts et qu'Il vous a donné la vie ? Puis Il vous fera mourir à nouveau, puis Il vous ressuscitera, et finalement vous retournerez à Lui.

à Lui - to Him (pronunciation: a lwee)

It is important to note that the nuances of meaning and how the words are put together are not fully captured here. To fully understand the meaning of the sentence, you should refer to a French grammar textbook or consult a native speaker.

Et quiconque tue un croyant intentionnellement, sa récompense est l'Enfer, où il demeurera éternellement. Et Allah s'est irrité contre lui, l'a maudit et lui a préparé un châtiment terrible.

Grammar Notes:

- "Quiconque" is a pronoun that means "whoever" or "anyone who." It is often followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood.

- "L'Enfer" is a masculine noun, so the article "le" is used before it.

- "Il demeurera" is a future tense verb, indicating that the person will remain in Hell forever.

Pronunciation:

French pronunciation can be tricky, but it is important to pay attention to the sounds of the vowels and consonants. For example, the "e" at the end of a word is usually silent. Also, the "r" at the end of a word is usually pronounced as a "w" sound.

You can use online resources like Forvo or Google Translate to listen to the correct pronunciation of French words.

French Translation:

Et craignez un jour où aucune âme ne pourra payer pour une autre âme, ni aucune intercession ne sera acceptée pour elle, ni aucune compensation ne lui sera accordée, et ils ne seront pas secourus.

- un jour (uhn zhoor) - a day

- et (ay) - and

- ils ne seront pas secourus (eel nuh suh-ron pah se-koo-ree) - they will not be helped (verb, future tense, passive voice)

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence uses the future tense (futur simple) to describe an event that will happen in the future.

- The verb "payer" takes the preposition "pour" when used to indicate paying for something.

- The passive voice is used in several verbs in the sentence. The passive voice is used to emphasize the action rather than the person who performs the action.

Additional Notes:

- The French sentence is very similar in structure and meaning to the English sentence.

- The French sentence uses a few more words than the English sentence, which is common in French.

- The French language often uses negation (ne...pas) before verbs, while English only uses "not".

French Translation:

Notre Seigneur, celui que Tu fais entrer au Feu, Tu l'as vraiment couvert de honte, et les injustes n'auront aucun soutien.

English Translation:

Our Lord, whoever You cause to enter the Fire, You have indeed shamed him. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.

Word for Word Explanation & Pronunciation:

- Notre Seigneur - Our Lord (pronounced: No-truh Se-nyur)

- celui - the one (pronounced: suh-lwee)

Grammar Notes:

- Celui que Tu fais entrer au Feu - This is a relative clause in French, similar to "whoever You cause to enter the Fire" in English. The relative pronoun "que" introduces the clause and refers back to "celui" (the one).

- Tu l'as... - This is a contracted form of "Tu as" (You have), where the "s" is replaced with an apostrophe to make it sound smoother.

This breakdown helps to understand the meaning of the sentence and its grammatical structure.

French Translation:

Et quand Allah prit l’engagement de ceux à qui le Livre fut donné: et quand Allah prit l’engagement de ceux à qui le Livre fut donné (eh kɑ̃ ala ɛ pri lɑ̃ɡɑʒmɑ̃ də sø a ki lə livʁ fy døne)

« Vous l’exposerez clairement aux gens et vous ne le cacherez pas »: « Vous l’exposerez clairement aux gens et vous ne le cacherez pas » (vu lɛkspozɛ klɛʁmɑ̃ o ʒɑ̃ e vu nə lə kaʃɛ pa)

English Breakdown:

- Et quand Allah prit l’engagement de ceux à qui le Livre fut donné: And when Allah took the covenant of those to whom the Book was given

- « Vous l’exposerez clairement aux gens et vous ne le cacherez pas »: "You shall make it clear to people, and you shall not hide it"

- Alors ils le jetèrent derrière leurs dos: Then they threw it behind their backs

- Et ils l’échangèrent contre un prix minime: And they exchanged it for a small price

- Quel mauvais marché ils ont fait! What a bad bargain they made!

Grammar Notes:

- "Et quand Allah prit l’engagement de ceux à qui le Livre fut donné" is a complex sentence with a subordinate clause. The subordinate clause "à qui le Livre fut donné" is introduced by the relative pronoun "qui". This translates to "to whom the Book was given"

- "Vous l’exposerez clairement aux gens et vous ne le cacherez pas" is a compound sentence, meaning it is composed of two or more independent clauses. The two clauses are linked by the conjunction "et" (and).

- "Alors ils le jetèrent derrière leurs dos" is a simple sentence with a direct object pronoun "le" that refers to the covenant.

- "Quel mauvais marché ils ont fait!" is an exclamation. The word "quel" is used to express the intensity of the bad bargain.

Pronunciation Tips: The French language has many sounds that are different from English.

Messagers (pronounced: mes-sah-jay) - Messengers (plural of "Messager")

Grammar Notes:

- Gender Agreement: In French, adjectives and articles must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. In this sentence, "versets" is masculine plural, so we use "les" and "ce sont" (masculine plural forms).

- Object Pronouns: Object pronouns in French come before the verb. "Te" and "les" refer to "you" and "the verses" respectively.

- "d'Allah": This is a genitive construction. In French, the genitive (possessive) is formed by using the preposition "de" followed by the noun.

Pronunciation Tips:

- "c" before "e" or "i" is pronounced like a "s"

- "ch" is pronounced like a "sh"

- "g" before "e" or "i" is pronounced like a "zh"

- "r" is pronounced with a guttural sound

- "u" is pronounced like "oo"

This sentence demonstrates several key French grammatical elements, particularly gender agreement and pronoun usage.

Grammar Notes:

- "Te regarder" is the reflexive pronoun "te" (you) plus the verb "regarder" (to look at). The reflexive pronoun is used because the action of looking is directed towards oneself.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- Guidance: This word is pronounced "gwee-dahns" with a slight emphasis on the first syllable "gwee".

- N'entendent: This word is pronounced "nahn-ton-don" with a slight emphasis on the first syllable "nahn".

Grammar Notes:

- French uses the definite article "le" before "mal" (evil), even though it's a general concept. This is a common pattern with abstract nouns in French.

- The pronouns "ceux" and "eux" both mean "those" but are used in different contexts. "Ceux" is used with a following noun, while "eux" is used as a pronoun standing on its own.

Pronunciation Notes:

- Pay attention to the nasal vowel sounds in French, like the "en" in "vienne" and "mécréants".

- The "r" sound in French is often pronounced more softly than in English, especially at the end of words.

- Practice saying the words aloud to get the pronunciation right.

Subjunctive mood: The subjunctive mood is used to express a speaker's attitude or opinion about the action or state of being described in the verb.

Example: In the sentence "Il est important qu'il vienne" (It is important that he come), the subjunctive mood is used in the second clause "qu'il vienne" to indicate that the speaker believes it is important for the person to come, but it is not certain that he will.

l'affaire serait réglée entre moi et vous: the matter would be settled between me and you

et Allah sait mieux que les injustes: and God knows better than the unjust.

- "d'expulser ses habitants": This is a verb phrase meaning "to expel its inhabitants".

- The letter "c" is pronounced like "s" when followed by "i" or "e". So "ce" is pronounced like "suh", not "kay".

- The letter "h" is generally silent in French. So "chemin" is pronounced like "shuh-man", not "h-she-min".

The pronoun "leur" (their) is used because the subject of the sentence, "Il" (he), is giving power to the object of the sentence, "ils" (they).

Word for Word Explanation:

- Ô - Oh (pronounced "oh") - An interjection used to address someone directly

- de - of (pronounced "deh") - preposition

- ma - my (pronounced "ma") - possessive adjective

- grâce - grace (pronounced "grahs") - noun

- que - that (pronounced "keh") - relative pronoun

- je - I (pronounced "zhuh") - personal pronoun

- vous - you (pronounced "voo") - personal pronoun

- ai - have (pronounced "ay") - auxiliary verb

- accordée - granted (pronounced "ah-kor-day") - past participle of the verb "accorder"

- mondes - worlds (pronounced "mond") - plural noun

Grammar Notes:

- The sentence uses the imperative form of the verb "souvenez-vous" to directly address the children of Israel. The imperative is used to give commands or make requests.

- The sentence also uses two relative clauses, starting with "que":

- "que je vous ai accordée" - "that I granted you"

- "que je vous ai préférés" - "that I preferred you"

- These clauses provide additional information about the "grâce" (grace) and the "préférence" (preference).

- The sentence structure is fairly simple: subject + verb + object + preposition + object. However, the inclusion of the relative clauses adds a bit more complexity.

Pronunciation Tips:

- Pay attention to the silent letters in French. For example, the "s" in "souvenez-vous" is silent.

- The nasal vowels in French can be tricky. "En" and "on" are pronounced with a nasal sound, similar to "un" in English.

- Practice your intonation. French sentences often have a rising intonation at the end.

French Translation:

En vérité, Allah ne pardonne pas qu'on lui associe des partenaires, mais Il pardonne ce qui est en deçà de cela à qui Il veut. Et quiconque associe des partenaires à Allah, celui-là a forgé un péché immense.

Breakdown & Pronunciation:

- En vérité, (On vray-tee) - This is a common way to start a sentence in French, signifying a strong statement.

- Allah (A-la) - The name of God in Arabic and used in many languages.

- ne pardonne pas (nuh pardonn puh) - "Ne" negates the verb, "pardonne" (to forgive). This is a common verb conjugation in French for "to forgive". "Pas" is the negation word, equivalent to "not" in English.

- qu'on (kon) - This is a contraction of "que" (that) + "on" (one) in French. It means "that one".

- lui associe (loo-ee as-so-see) - "Lui" is the direct object pronoun "him". "Associe" (to associate) is the verb conjugated in the third person singular.

- des partenaires (day par-tuh-nair) - "Des" is the plural form of "de" (of) and "partenaires" is the word for "partners". This is plural because it is referring to multiple associates.

- mais (may) - This is the French word for "but", used to contrast the first part of the sentence.

- Il pardonne (eel pardonn) - The subject here is "Il" (he), referring to Allah. The verb "pardonne" (to forgive) is conjugated for the third person singular.

- ce qui (suh kee) - This is a relative pronoun in French, equivalent to "that which". It is often used to introduce clauses.

- est en deçà (eh-tuh deh-sah) - This means "is beyond" or "is less than".

- de cela (duh suh-lah) - "De" is the preposition "of" and "cela" refers to "that" which is previously mentioned in the sentence.

- à qui (ah kee) - "à" is the preposition "to" and "qui" is the relative pronoun "who". This is used to introduce a clause that modifies "Il" in the previous phrase.

- Il veut (eel vuh) - "Il" is the subject "he", referring to Allah again. "Veut" is the verb "want" conjugated in the third person singular.

- Et quiconque (eh kee-konk) - "Et" is the conjunction "and". "Quiconque" is an indefinite pronoun, which means "whoever".

- associe (as-so-see) - "associe" is the verb "associate" in its infinitive form.

- des partenaires (day par-tuh-nair) - Again, "des" is the plural form of "de" and "partenaires" is the word for "partners".

- à Allah (ah a-la) - "à" is the preposition "to" and "Allah" is the name of God.

- celui-là (suh-loo-ee lah) - "Celui" is the pronoun "he". "Là" is an adverb, meaning "there". Together, they mean "that one".

- a forgé (ah for-jay) - "a" is the auxiliary verb "has" and "forgé" is the past participle of "forger" (to forge).

- un péché (uhn peh-shay) - "un" is the indefinite article "a" and "péché" is the word for "sin". This is singular.

- immense (ee-mons) - This is the adjective "immense", meaning "huge" or "vast".

Grammar Notes:

- **French uses word order to distinguish between the subject and object of a sentence. **

- French also uses articles (le, la, les, un, une, des) more frequently than English. The definite articles (le, la, les) are used when referring to something specific. The indefinite articles (un, une, des) are used when referring to something general or not specific.

- French uses prepositions to show relationships between words in a sentence. The most common prepositions are "à", "de", "pour", "avec", "sur", and "dans".

French Translation:

Ceux qui restent assis parmi les croyants, à l'exception de ceux qui ont une infirmité, ne sont pas égaux à ceux qui luttent dans le chemin d'Allah avec leurs biens et leurs personnes. Allah a accordé une supériorité aux combattants sur ceux qui restent assis, par leurs biens et leurs personnes. Allah a promis à chacun d'eux le bien. Et Allah a donné aux combattants sur ceux qui restent assis une récompense immense.

Breakdown:

- Ceux qui restent assis parmi les croyants, à l'exception de ceux qui ont une infirmité: (pronounced: "Sœ ki rest as-si parmi le krua-yɑ̃, a lek-sep-syɔ̃ de sœ ki ɔ̃ yn ɛ̃fir-mi-te") This translates to "Those who remain seated among the believers, except those who have an infirmity"

- à l'exception de ceux qui ont une infirmité: "except those who have an infirmity" (pronounced: "a lek-sep-syɔ̃ de sœ ki ɔ̃ yn ɛ̃fir-mi-te")

- This uses a prepositional phrase "à l'exception de" (pronounced: "a lek-sep-syɔ̃ de") to exclude people with a physical disability.

- ne sont pas égaux à ceux qui luttent dans le chemin d'Allah avec leurs biens et leurs personnes: (pronounced: "nə sɔ̃ pa e-gal a sœ ki lüt dɑ̃ le şəmɛ̃ d'a-la ɛ̃ve lœr bjɛ̃ e lœr pɛr-sɔn") This translates to "are not equal to those who struggle in the path of Allah with their possessions and their persons"

- par leurs biens et leurs personnes: "by their possessions and their persons" (pronounced: "par lœr bjɛ̃ e lœr pɛr-sɔn")

- Allah a promis à chacun d'eux le bien: (pronounced: "a-la a pro-mi a şa-kœ̃ dœ lœ le bjɛ̃") This translates to "Allah has promised each of them good"

- Allah a promis: "Allah has promised" (pronounced: "a-la a pro-mi")

- à chacun d'eux: "to each of them" (pronounced: "a şa-kœ̃ dœ lœ")

- le bien: "good" (pronounced: "le bjɛ̃")

- Et Allah a donné aux combattants sur ceux qui restent assis une récompense immense. (pronounced: "e a-la a dɔ-ne o kɔ̃-ba-tɑ̃ syr sœ ki rest as-si yn rə-kɔ̃-pɑ̃s ɛ̃-mɑ̃s") This translates to "And Allah has given to the fighters over those who remain seated a great reward"

- une récompense immense: "a great reward" (pronounced: "yn rə-kɔ̃-pɑ̃s ɛ̃-mɑ̃s")

Grammar Notes:

- The French language uses a lot of prepositions, "à" (to), "dans" (in), "par" (by), "sur" (on) etc.

- The past participle "accordé" (pronounced: "a-kɔr-de") is used to convey the action of Allah.

- The verb "donné" (pronounced: "dɔ-ne") is used to explain what Allah has given to the fighters.

- The word "bien" (pronounced: "bjɛ̃") can be used as both a noun and adjective. In this context, it means "good" or "benefit".

- The French language uses a lot of articles, "le" (the), "la" (the), "les" (the), "un" (a), "une" (a) etc.

- The French language makes use of gendered nouns and adjectives. In this sentence, "combattants" (pronounced: "kɔ̃-ba-tɑ̃") is masculine, so "une récompense" (pronounced: "yn rə-kɔ̃-pɑ̃s") is feminine.

French Translation:

Le chemin [le seul chemin] est réservé à ceux qui te demandent la permission, alors qu'ils sont riches. Ils se sont résignés à être avec les rebelles et Allah a scellé leurs cœurs, de sorte qu'ils ne comprennent pas.

English Translation:

The path [the only path] is reserved for those who ask your permission, while they are rich. They have accepted to be with the disbelievers and Allah has sealed their hearts, so they do not understand.

Word for Word Explanation:

- Le chemin (luh shuh-man) - The path

- [le seul chemin] (luh seul shuh-man) - [the only path] - This is in square brackets because this phrase is implied. It is not directly said in the sentence but is understood because of the context.

- est réservé (eh reh-zer-vay) - is reserved

- à ceux (ah soh) - to those

- qui te demandent (kee tuh duh-mand) - who ask you

- la permission (lah per-mee-syon) - the permission

- alors qu'ils sont (ah-lor kee-eel son) - while they are

- riches (ree-sh) - rich

- Ils se sont résignés (eel suh son reh-zee-nyay) - They have accepted

- à être (ah eh-treh) - to be

- avec les rebelles (ah-vek lay reh-bel) - with the disbelievers

- et Allah (eh ah-lah) - and Allah

- a scellé (ah seh-lay) - has sealed

- leurs cœurs (lur ker) - their hearts

- de sorte qu'ils ne comprennent pas (duh sort kee-eel nuh kom-pran pah) - so they do not understand.

Grammar Notes:

- The phrase "le seul chemin" is implied, but it is not directly stated in the French translation. We understand this by the context of the sentence.

- "à ceux" (to those) - This is a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb "est réservé." You will need to use the preposition "à" when referring to a person/people in this type of sentence.

- "de sorte qu'ils ne comprennent pas" (so they do not understand). The phrase "de sorte que" means "so that." It can be used to introduce a clause that explains the consequence of a previous statement. In this case, it is explaining the consequence of Allah sealing the disbelievers' hearts.

- In French, verbs are conjugated according to the subject and the tense. For example, "ils se sont résignés" is the past participle of the verb "se résigner" (to accept) conjugated with the auxiliary verb "être" (to be) in the plural form for the third person plural subject "ils" (they).

Pronunciation Tips:

- "Le chemin" (luh shuh-man) - Pay attention to the pronunciation of the "ch" sound, which is like the "sh" sound in English.

- "Ils se sont résignés" (eel suh son reh-zee-nyay) - Notice the silent "s" at the end of "ils" (they) and the "e" at the end of "se" (themselves).

- "de sorte qu'ils ne comprennent pas" (duh sort kee-eel nuh kom-pran pah) - Pay attention to the pronunciation of the "qu" sound, which is like the "k" sound in English. Make sure to pronounce the "s" sound in "sont" (are) before the word "comprendre" (to understand).

Example Sentence:

Le chemin [le seul chemin] est réservé aux étudiants qui étudient dur.

Translation:

The path [the only path] is reserved for the students who study hard.

Pronunciation Assistance:

- aux étudiants (oh eh-tyu-dyan) - for the students

- qui étudient (kee eh-tyu-dyan) - who study

- dur (door) - hard

French Translation:

Dieu veut vous alléger. Et l’homme a été créé faible.

Word-for-word Explanation and Pronunciation:

- Dieu (pronounced: Dyeh): God

- vous (pronounced: voo): you (plural)

- alléger (pronounced: ah-leh-zhay): to lighten, to alleviate

- Et (pronounced: eh): and

- l’homme (pronounced: lohm): the man, the human being

- a été créé (pronounced: ah eh-tay kray-ay): has been created

- faible (pronounced: fehb-l): weak

Grammar Explanation:

- The first part of the sentence is a simple present tense statement: "Dieu veut vous alléger." It follows the structure: Subject + verb + object.

- The second part is a past participle phrase, meaning "created." It describes the human being as inherently weak.

- The word "l’homme" is the subject of the phrase, and "a été créé" is the verb. "Faible" is an adjective describing "l’homme."

English Translation:

God wants to ease your burden. And mankind was created weak.

French Translation:

Ô vous qui croyez, si vous obéissez à une partie de ceux qui ont reçu le Livre, ils vous ramèneront à l'incrédulité après votre foi.

English Breakdown:

- Ô (oh) - This is a vocative particle, similar to "O" in English.

- vous qui (voo kee) - "you who" - this is a pronoun and a relative pronoun, referring to the believers addressed in the sentence.

- croyez (krwa-yay) - "believe" - this is the verb "croire" in the present tense, plural form. It's important to note that in French, the verb comes after the subject in this type of sentence.

- si (see) - "if" - this is a conjunction introducing a conditional clause.

- vous obéissez (voo o-bay-say) - "you obey" - this is the verb "obéir" in the present tense, plural form, conjugated with the pronoun "vous".

Grammar Notes:

- Subject-Verb Agreement: French verbs must agree with their subjects in number and person. Since the subject is plural ("vous"), the verbs are also in the plural form.

- Pronoun Placement: Pronouns generally come before the verb, but they can also be placed after the verb in certain situations, especially for emphasis.

- Tense Agreement: In French, tenses are very important for conveying meaning. In this sentence, we see a mix of present, future, and past participles, each conveying a specific point in time.

- Articles: French uses definite and indefinite articles (le, la, les, un, une) before nouns.

Pronunciation:

This sentence is quite challenging to pronounce for an English speaker due to the sounds and rhythm of French. It's important to practice the vowels (especially "u" and "i"), the liaison (linking of sounds), and the intonation (rise and fall of the voice).

The best way to improve pronunciation is to listen to native French speakers and try to mimic their speech. There are many online resources available, including podcasts, videos, and websites.

French Translation:

Dieu a certes accordé son pardon au Prophète, aux émigrés et aux auxiliaires qui l'ont suivi dans le moment difficile, après que les cœurs d'un groupe d'entre eux avaient failli s'égarer. Puis, Il leur a accordé son pardon. Car Il est envers eux Compatissant et Miséricordieux.

Word for word breakdown and pronunciation:

- Dieu (pronounced: Dyeh ) - God

- et Miséricordieux (pronounced: eh mee-zay-ree-kor-dyuh) - and Merciful.

Grammar Note: This is a complex sentence in French. The first part uses the past perfect tense "a certes accordé" which means "has certainly granted". The second part uses the simple past tense "avait failli" which means "had almost". Finally, the third part uses the present tense "est" which means "is". This is a common grammatical structure in French, where multiple verb tenses are used within a single sentence to express different aspects of the action.

Pronunciation tips:

- French uses a different pronunciation system than English. Pay attention to the sound of the letters, especially the vowels. For example, the "e" at the end of words is often silent, and the "u" is often pronounced like "oo" in English.

- Practice saying the words out loud, focusing on the pronunciation of each syllable.

- Use online pronunciation guides or dictionaries to help you with difficult words.

- Don't be afraid to ask for clarification if you are unsure about a pronunciation.

And when Our verses are recited to them, they say, "We have heard; if we wished, we could say things like that. This is nothing but the legends of the ancients."

Regarde (ruh-GAHRD) - look (imperative verb)

comment (koh-moh) - how

ils (ee-loh) - they (masculine plural pronoun)

ont (ohn) - have (present participle of avoir, auxiliary verb)

menti (mon-TEE) - lied (past participle of mentir)

à (ah) - to, at (preposition)

eux-mêmes (oh-mee-MEH) - themselves (reflexive pronoun)

et (eh) - and

ce (seh) - that (demonstrative pronoun)

qu' (keh) - that (relative pronoun)

Grammar Note: The sentence uses the past tense "ils ont menti" (they have lied) which is the compound past tense formed by the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) and the past participle of the verb "mentir" (to lie).

This sentence structure is common in French and is used to express actions that happened in the past.

French Translation:

Ordonnez-vous aux gens la bienfaisance, alors que vous oubliez vous-mêmes, et vous récitez le Livre ? Ne comprenez-vous donc pas ?

English Translation:

Do you command people to do good while forgetting yourselves, while you recite the Book? Do you not understand?

Word for Word Breakdown & Pronunciation:

- Ordonnez-vous (or-doh-nay-voo) - Do you command

Grammar Rules:

- Past Perfect Tense: In French, the past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. It is formed with the auxiliary verb "avoir" or "être" in the past participle followed by the past participle of the main verb. For example, "avaient cru" is the past perfect tense of the verb "croire" (to believe).

- Subject-Verb Agreement: In French, the verb must agree with the subject in number and person. For example, "Vous étiez" is the correct conjugation of the verb "être" (to be) because the subject "Vous" is plural.

- Indirect Object Pronouns: The indirect object pronouns "leur" (them) and "vous" (you) are used in this sentence. They come before the verb and indicate who or what receives the action of the verb. For example, in the phrase "cela aurait été meilleur pour eux", "leur" is the indirect object pronoun, indicating that the better outcome would be for "them".

- Prepositions: The prepositions "pour" (for), "parmi" (among), and "d'entre" (from among) are used in this sentence. They are used to connect nouns, pronouns, or verbs to other parts of the sentence.

Grammar Notes:

- The French sentence structure is similar to English, but with a few key differences:

- The verb "prendre" (to take) is used in the past tense "prit" (took) in the first sentence.

- The direct object pronoun "vous" (you) comes before the verb "donnerai" (will give) in the second sentence.

- The direct object pronoun "lui" (him) comes before the verbs "croirez" (will believe) and "aiderez" (will help) in the second sentence.

- The pronoun "Je" (I) in the second sentence refers to Allah.

- The phrase "prendre l’engagement" (to take the commitment) is used to translate the Arabic word "مِيثَاقَ" (miithaq) which refers to a covenant or agreement.

This translation aims to provide a clear and understandable interpretation of the Arabic verse.

- "ce qu'ils ont acquis" uses a relative pronoun "ce qui" which means "what" in this case.

Extra Tip: This sentence uses the verb "avoir" (to have) in the future tense. This is a common way to express future actions in French. The future tense of "avoir" is formed by adding the endings "-ai", "-as", "-a", "-ons", "-ez", "-ont" to the infinitive "avoir."

Pronunciation Notes:

- "Allah" is pronounced as "a-lah" with the stress on the first syllable.

- "mosquées" is pronounced as "moh-skee" with the stress on the second syllable.

Grammar Rules:

- "our rites" is translated as "nos rites" and the possessive adjective nos (our) agrees in gender and number with the noun rites (rites).

- "and turn to us in mercy" is translated as et fais-nous miséricorde. The verb faire (to make) is used in a construction with the direct object pronoun nous (us) and the noun miséricorde (mercy). This construction is used to express the idea of "granting mercy".

Pronunciation Assistance:

The French sentence has a few sounds that may be tricky for English speakers:

- "u" as in "musulman" and "communauté" is pronounced like the "oo" sound in "moon".

- "é" as in "dévoués" and "dévouée" is pronounced like the "ay" sound in "day".

- "r" is pronounced with a slight trill in the back of the throat, not like the English "r".

- "ch" as in "riche" is pronounced like the "sh" sound in "ship".

Practice Tip:

- Repeat the sentence aloud, focusing on the pronunciation of each word.

- Practice saying the sentence slowly at first, then gradually speed it up.

- Try to break down the sentence into smaller phrases and practice each phrase separately.

- Remember to use the correct gender and number agreement for adjectives and pronouns.

- You can also record yourself saying the sentence and listen back to identify any areas you need to improve on.

Comment Allah peut-il guider un peuple qui a renié sa foi après y avoir cru, alors qu’il a témoigné que le Messager est véridique et que les preuves lui sont parvenues ? Et Allah ne guide pas les peuples injustes.

- “après y avoir cru…” This phrase uses a past participle ("cru") with the auxiliary verb "avoir". This grammatical structure is used to create the perfect tense, which describes an action that was completed in the past.

- “alors qu’il a témoigné…” This phrase uses a conjunction ("alors que") which introduces a subordinate clause (the part of the sentence following the conjunction). Subordinate clauses usually provide more information about the main clause.

- “lui sont parvenues…” This phrase uses a passive voice construction, which means the subject of the sentence is receiving the action. In this case, the "preuves" are the subject, and they are being "parvenues" (reached) by someone else.

- "les peuples injustes" This phrase uses a plural adjective ("injustes") to modify the plural noun "peuples". This is an example of agreement in gender and number, which is a fundamental rule of French grammar.

Pronunciation Notes:

- The “r” sound in French is pronounced like a soft “r” in English, not the guttural "r" sound.

- The accent marks on "révélé" and "béni" are called grave accents. They indicate a lengthening of the preceding vowel.

- The "eu" in “ceux” is pronounced like the "u" in "flute".

- The "au" in "l'au-delà" is pronounced as "oh" and should be one syllable, not two.

Important to Note:

- This is a literal word for word translation.

- It may not sound natural in French, but it helps to break down the meaning of the sentence.

- In French, you can often express the same meaning in a more concise way. For example, you could say, "Ce livre est un livre béni..." instead of "Et ceci est un Livre que Nous avons révélé, béni...".

Si tu voyais quand les injustes seront dans les profondeurs de la mort, et que les Anges tendront leurs mains (en disant) : « Sortez vos âmes » !

- "A été" is a form of the verb "être" (to be) in the past tense. The past tense "passé composé" for "être" is "avoir été" (to have been), but "avoir" (to have) is implied in this construction.
