   Abada(Abadan) = Forever, Never
   

The word abada appears several times in phrases like "...beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein forever..."

Here is an example:

Quran 98:8

"Their reward is with Allah: Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; Allah well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher."

Forever

...ma keseeni fihi abadan...

(18:3) (A state of bliss) in which they shall dwell forever.

Never

...Qaala yaMusa inna lan nad khulaha abadan...

(5:24) They said:O Moses,behold! never shall we enter that land.

===============================

2. 
   Liabeehi = To his father (i=kasra, ee=letter yeh)
   

Li means "to" or "for" abeehi means "his father"

I found this word in the story of Abraham (A) and in the story of Yusuf (A).

TO HIS FATHER:

Wa iz qaala Ibrahimu liabeehi Azara...

"Lo!Abraham said to his father Azar:"Takest thou idols for gods? for I see thee and thy people in manifest error." (6:74)

Iz qaala liabeehi ya abati...

"Behold he(Abraham) said to his father: Why worship that which heareth not and seeth not and can profit thee nothing? (19:42)

Iz qaala liabeehi wa qaumihi...

"Behold! he said to his father and his people "What are these images to which ye are (so assiduously) devoted?" (21:52)

Iz qaala liabeehi wa qaumihi ma ta'budoon...

"Behold he (Abraham) said to his father and his people:"What worship ye?" (26:70)

Wa iz qaala Ibrahimu liabeehi...

"Behold!Abraham said to his father and his people:"I do indeed clear myself of what ye worship" (43:26)

..Illa qaula Ibrahima liabeehi...

"...when Abraham said to his father:"I will pray for forgiveness for thee though i have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah..." (60:4)

Iz qaala Yusufu liabeehi yaa aabati...

"Behold Joseph said to his father:"O my father!I did see eleven stars and the sun and the moon;I saw them prostrate themselves to me!" (12:4)

FOR HIS FATHER

wa ma kaana ustighfaru Ibrahima liabeehi...

"And Abraham prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise ha had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah he dissociated himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted forbearing." (9:114)

=================================

3. 
   Aabaa-ana = Our fathers (dir. obj)
   
4. 
   Aabaa-una = Our fathers (subj)
   
5. 
   Aabaa-ukum = Your fathers (plural)
   

Just as a side note to remember these... the na at the end signifies Our, the kum at the end means Your

Here are some references. Use the Quranic word search and voila!

Aabaa ana

2:170

When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah hath revealed:" They say: "Nay! we shall follow the ways of our fathers." What! even though their fathers were void of wisdom and guidance?

qaalu bal nattaabiu maa alfaina alaihi aabaa ana

26:74

They said: "Nay, but we found our fathers doing thus (what we do)."

qaalu bal wa jadnaa aabaa ana kazalika yafaloon

Aabaa akum

2:200

So when ye have accomplished your holy rites, celebrate the praises of Allah, as ye used to celebrate the praises of your fathers,- yea, with far more Heart and soul. There are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us (Thy bounties) in this world!" but they will have no portion in the Hereafter.

kazikri kum aabaa akum

Aabaa una

6:148

Those who give partners (to Allah) will say: "If Allah had wished, we should not have given partners to Him nor would our fathers; nor should we have had any taboos." So did their ancestors argue falsely, until they tasted of Our wrath. Say: "Have ye any (certain) knowledge? If so, produce it before us. Ye follow nothing but conjecture: ye do nothing but lie."

Lau sha allahu maa ashrakna wa laa aabaa una wa laa harram na min shai in

16:35

The worshippers of false gods say: "If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped aught but Him - neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed prohibitions other than His." So did those who went before them. But what is the mission of messengers but to preach the Clear Message?

Min sha innahnu wa laa abaa una wa laa harram na

Aabaa ukum

4:22

And marry not women whom your fathers married,- except what is past: It was shameful and odious,- an abominable custom indeed.

Wa laa tankihu maa nakaha aabaa ukum minna nisaai

9:24

Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious

Qul inkana aabaa ukim wa abtaa ukum

===================================

6. 
   Ta'toona = (You) commit, you come (pl.) ('=alif with hamza on it)
   

I found this word in the story of Prophet Lut (pbuh) and his people. Interestingly, the two different meanings of the word are used in consecutive verses.

27:54 (ta'toona = (you) commit)

(We also sent) Lut (as a messenger): behold, He said to his people, "Do ye do what is shameful though ye see (its iniquity)?

wa lutan iz qaala liqaumihii atatoonal fahishata wa antum tubsiroon

27:55 (ta'toona = you come)

Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!

aa innakum la tatoonarri jaala shahwatanmin dunin nisaai bal antum qaumun tajhaloon

29:28 (ta'toona = (you) commit)

And (remember) Lut: behold, he said to his people: "Ye do commit lewdness, such as no people in Creation (ever) committed before you.

wa lutu iz qaala liqaumihii innakum la tatoonal fahishata ...

29:29 (ta'toona = you come)

"Do ye indeed approach men, and cut off the highway?- and practise wickedness (even) in your councils?" But his people gave no answer but this: they said: "Bring us the Wrath of Allah if thou tellest the truth."

aa innakum la tatoonarri jaala wa taqtaoonas sabeela ...

============================================

7. 
   Ithmu, Ithman = Sin
   

2:173 He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,recompense for their "earnings."

wa zaru zhaahiral ithmi wa batinahu innallazeena yaksiboonal ithma sayujzaona bima kanu yaqtarifoon

7:33 Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge.

...wal ithma wal bagyi bigairil haqqi...

==================================

8. 
   Ajru, Ajran = Reward
   

4:40 Allah is never unjust in the least degree: If there is any good (done), He doubleth it, and giveth from His own presence a great reward.

...wa in taku hasanatan yudha'ifha wa yu'ti min ladunhu ajran azheem

================================

9. 
   Ahadan = One or Any
   
10. 
    Ahadu = Anybody or Somebody
    

AHADAN = One or Any

...wa la yazlimu rabbuka ahadan.

...And not one will thy Lord treat with injustice. (18:49)

AHADU = Anybody or somebody

...imma yablughanna 'indakal kibara ahadu humaa auw kilaahuma...

Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, And that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. (17:23)

24:28 (ahadan)

If ye find no one in the house, enter not until permission is given to you: if ye are asked to go back, go back: that makes for greater purity for yourselves: and Allah knows well all that ye do. fa inlam tajidu fefeehaa ahadan...

49:12 (ahadu)

O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brothe? Nay, ye would abhor it...But fear Allah: For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

...ayuhibbu ahadu kum anya kula lahma akheehi maitan fakarih tumoohu...

=================================

11. 
    Ajala = Fixed period, yes
    

AJALA = Fixed period

...wa balaghnaa ajala nallazi ajjalta lana...

And we have reached the term thou hast appointed for us... (6:128)

And for every community there is (an appointed) term (i.e. in the divine plan) (7:34)

===============================

12. 
    Bi-idhni = Command or Permission
    
13. 
    Bi-idhnihi=With his permission
    

bi-idhni

3:166 What ye suffered on the day the two armies Met, was with the leave of Allah, in order that He might test the believers,-

Wa maa asabakum yaomal takal jam'ani fa bi-idhnillahi wa liya'lamal mu'mineen

10:100 No soul can believe, except by the will of Allah, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand.

Wa ma kana linafsin an tu'mina illa bi-idhnillahi...

14:23 But those who believe an and work righteousness will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow,- to dwell therein for aye with the leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: "Peace!"

...min tahtihal anharu khalideena

bi-idhnihi

11:105 The day it arrives, no soul shall speak except by His leave: of those (gathered) some will be wretched and some will be blessed.

yaoma yati la takallamu nafsun illa bi-idhnihi faminhum shaqeeun wa sa'eed

==========================================

14. 
    Ajruhum = Their reward or wages
    

2:262 Those who spend their substance in the cause of Allah, and follow not up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury,-for them their reward is with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

allazeena yunfiqoona amwalahum fee sabeelillahi thumma la yutbi'oona maa anfaqoo mannanwa la azhanlahum ajruhum 'inda rabbihim...

2:277 Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

...lahum ajruhum 'inda rabbihim...

16:96 What is with you must vanish: what is with Allah will endure. And We will certainly bestow, on those who patiently persevere, their reward according to the best of their actions.

qul ara'aitum in akhadhallahu sam'akum...

29:40 Each one of them We seized for his crime: of them, against some We sent a violent tornado (with showers of stones); some were caught by a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): It was not Allah Who injured (or oppressed) them:" They injured (and oppressed) their own souls.

fa kullan akhadhna bizanbihi...

33:7 And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:

wa iz akhadhna minannabiyyina meethaqahum...

=======================================

17. 
    Al-Aakhirah = The here after
    

2:201 And there are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire!"

...rabbanaa atina fid dunya hasanatan wa fil akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'azabannar

3:85 If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).

...wa huwa fil akhirati minal khasireen

6:32 What is the life of this world but play and amusement? But best is the home in the hereafter, for those who are righteous. Will ye not then understand?

...wa ladda rul akhiratu khairun lillazeena yattaqoona afala ta'qiloon

42:20 To any that desires the tilth of the Hereafter, We give increase in his tilth, and to any that desires the tilth of this world, We grant somewhat thereof, but he has no share or lot in the Hereafter.

man kana yuridu harthal akhirati nazid lahu fee harthihi...

28:77 "But seek, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world: but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: for Allah loves not those who do mischief."

wabtaghi feemaa atakallahud daral akhirata wa la tansa naseebaka minad dunya...

afagayra deenillahi yabgoona wa lahuu aslama man fis samaawaati wal ardhi taw'an...

3:190 Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding,

inna fee khalqis samaawaati wal ardhi wakhtila fil layli wannahari...

3:191 Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire.

...wa yatafakkaroona fee khalqis samaawaati wal ardhi...

4:101 When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies.

wa iza dharabtum fil ardhi falaysa 'alaykum junahun antaqdhuroo minas salaati...

25:2 He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions.

nillazee lahu mulkus samaawaati wal ardhi...

47:10 Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the End of those before them (who did evil)? Allah brought utter destruction on them, and similar (fates await) those who reject Allah.

afalam yaseeroo fil ardhi fayanzhuroo kayfa kana 'a qiyatullazeena min qablihim...

91:6 By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:

wal ardhi wa ma tahaaha

...khuzoo maa aa-taynakum bi quwwatin...

15:87 And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oft-repeated (verses) and the Grand Qur'an.

wa laqad aa-taynaka sab'an minal mathanee...

16:122 And We gave him [Abraham] Good in this world, and he will be, in the Hereafter, in the ranks of the Righteous.

wa aa-taynahu fid dunya hasanatan...

21:74 And to Lut, too, We gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from the town which practised abominations: truly they were a people given to Evil, a rebellious people.
