Alif. Lam. Mim., muqatta'at

Sura 2 I am Allah, the best Knower Commentary The original words are alif, lam, mlm. Translations of the Holy Qur-an generally leave abbreviations, like the one occurring here, untranslated. The combinations of letters or single letters occurring at the commencement of several chapters of the Holy Qur-an, 29 in all, are called ... simply muqatta'at , and according to the best received opinion these letters are abbreviations standing for words. .... Abbreviations are known to all languages, the only peculiarity of their use in Arabic literature being that the letters carry different meanings in different places, and the meaning is decided in each case by the context.  Such is the opinion of I’Ab (AH). Both he and IMsd agree in interpreting the alif, Idm, mim occurring here, as well as at the commencement of the 3rd, 29th, 30th, 31st, and 32nd chapters of the Holy QurAn, as ...

Sura 2 59 But those who did wrong changed the word which had been told them for another saying, and We sent down upon the evil-doers wrath from heaven for their evil-doing. Sura 2  75 Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly. 76 And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate ye to them of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it? Have ye then no sense? 77 Are they then unaware that Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim? 78 Among them are unlettered folk who know the Scripture not except from hearsay.

The Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, S9(30)

A look at several translations Sura 9 (30) And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths.

(Note-several different English language Qurans from different time periods are quoted to show consistency in translation) Surah 33 21 Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much. Sura 33 50 O Prophet! We have Made lawful to thee Thy wives to whom thou Hast paid their dowers; And those whom thy Right hand possesses out of The prisoners of war whom God has assigned to thee; And daughters of thy paternal Uncles and aunts, and daughters Of thy maternal uncles And aunts, who migrated (From Mecca) with thee; And any believing woman Who dedicates her soul To the Prophet if the Prophet Wishes to wed her;—this Only for thee, and not For the Believers (at large); We know what We have Appointed for them as to Their wives and the captives Whom their right hands Possess;—in order that There should be no difficulty For thee. And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. ( Yusuf Ali 1934 ) https://www.sacred-text...
