Its root in the classical dictionaries
الهمزة والخاء والذال أصل واحد تتفرع منه فروع متقاربة في المعنى. [أما] أخذ فالأصل حوز الشيء وجبيه وجمعه. تقول أخذت الشيء آخذه أخذا. قال الخليل: هو خلاف العطاء، وهو التناول. قال: والأخذة رقية تأخذ العين ونحوها. والمؤخذ: الرجل الذي تؤخذه المرأة عن رأيه وتؤخذه عن النساء، كأنه حبس عنهن. والإخاذة - وأبو عبيد يقول الإخاذ…
الأخذ: خلاف العطاء، وهو أيضا التناول. أخذت الشيء آخذه أخذا: تناولته؛ وأخذه يأخذه أخذا، والإخذ، بالكسر: الاسم. وإذا أمرت قلت: خذ، وأصله أؤخذ إلا أنهم استثقلوا الهمزتين فحذفوهما تخفيفا؛ قال ابن سيده: فلما اجتمعت همزتان وكثر استعمال الكلمة حذفت الهمزة الأصلية فزال الساكن فاستغني عن الهمزة الزائدة، وقد جاء على الأصل فقيل:…
On no soul doth God
Place a burden greater
Than it can bear.
It gets every good that it earns,
And it suffers every ill that it earns.
(Pray:) "Our Lord!
Condemn us not
If we forget or fall
Into error; our Lord!
Lay not on us a burden
Like that which Thou
Didst lay on those before us;
Our Lord! lay not on us
A burden greater than we
Have strength to bear.
Blot out our sins,
And grant us forgiveness,
Have mercy on us.
Thou art our Protector;
Help us against those
Who stand against Faith"
God will not call you
To account for what is
Futile in your oaths,
But He will call you
To account for your deliberate
Oaths: for expiation, feed
Ten indigent persons,
On a scale of the average
For the food of your families;
Or clothe them; or give
A slave his freedom.
If that is beyond your means,
Fast for three days.
That is the expiation
For the oaths ye have sworn.
But keep to your oaths.
Thus doth God make clear
To you His Signs, that ye
May be grateful.
If God were to punish
Men for their wrong-doing,
He would not leave, on the (earth);
A single living creature:
But He gives them respite
For a stated Term:
When their Term expires,
They would not be able
To delay (the punishment)
For a single hour, just as
They would not be able
To anticipate it (for a single hour).
But your Lord is most forgiving,
Full of Mercy. If he were
To call them (at once) to account
For what they have earned,
then surely He would
Have hastened their Punishment:
But they have their appointed
Time, beyond which they
Will find no refuge.
If God were to punish
Men according to what
They deserve, He would not
Leave on the back
Of the (earth) a single
Living creature: but He
Gives them respite
For a stated Term:
When their Term expires,
Verily God has in His sight
All His servants.
