There is another beautiful, yet very simple eloquent feature of this Surah. Everytime the word "Maa" is mentioned, which was translated by Farid as "that", it either refers to the idols the Quraish worshipped or it refers to Allah depending on the verse. But what is so exceptionally beautiful is that the two different "Maa's" are not the same. When referring to the idols, the Maa is short but when refering to Allah the Maa has a Madd, and therefore when you pronounce it correctly, you would have to prolong the pronunciation of that word and say Maaaa. And thus the Maa when referring to the idols is short, showing there insignificance, and the Maaaa that refers to Allah, the Supreme, is prolonged, which signifies his superiority to the idols. All of this eloquence and literary miracle of the Qur'an gets lost in translation. But even the translation alone is so profound. Especially when you know the context of the Surah being that the Quraish asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked by his opponents to compromise his religion so that they would worship Allah alone for a specific period of time and then worship the idols also for a specific period of time. And Allah revealed that chapter to declare to the polytheists that the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, would never compromise his religion. The last verse is also completely incredible and has even amazed non-Muslim scholars. Thus we say to this day to the Kuffar: "To you your religion and to me my religion."
You forgot the most beautiful linguistic gem in this chapter. It's beautiful when the Quran talks about what the pagan worships it uses a short ma in arabic, but when it talks about what the Muslims worship a long ma is used because there is a madd on the ma, almost like the Quran is saying the God of the Prophet Alahyi Salam is greater than the false gods of the disbelievers because a short ma has been used for their idols and when referring to the one whom the Prophet salatu as salam worships a long ma has been used.
I have only just started my basic studies of Classical Arabic at university, and I can tell you things like the great effect such grammatical choices as switching between verbs for 'worship' like أَعْبُدُ to the nounal active participle عَابِدُون has, and how it reflects the changing senses of agency on the part of Prophet (ﷺ) being addressed, and the worshippers he is meant to give address to. All of this is done in just two verses by the way (verse 5 or verse 3).
Farid, I understand that for you and many Muslims, these arguments might seem foolish and unworthy of attention. However, there are numerous Muslims with limited knowledge about Islam who unfortunately lose their faith due to such videos. That’s why I think the work you are doing is incredibly valuable. May Allah reward you abundantly for your efforts. These videos are a significant help to many Muslims, even if some consider them unnecessary.

Funniest islam critics out there. lol
They have so much blind hatred that they can't allow themselves to appreciate the eloquence of the Quran, may Allah guide them.

Big shock, the translation of the Quran isn't the Quran! Nor does it match the eloquence! Bkhwaaa 🤯
Islamophobes and cherry picking a love story better than twilight
Bro David wood can’t even speak Arabic, how can he say if the Quran is good or not?
David Wood and Apus are not clowns nor are they the circus, rather they are the entire comedic industry.
It's just like watching Dumb and Dumber
David Wood is looking non binary 😜
Imagine the Horror David Wood and co would be like on Judgement Day.

I actually am Quite thankful to them for choosing to take Allah's challenge, because the more they work towards tackling it

Another amazing thing is the contrasts between Surah Kafirun, Surah Nasr, Surah Masad and Surah Ikhlas.
What a beautiful demonstration!
A fool can never appreciate the book of Allah
I miss this Christian comedy show😂
Subhanallah, they beauty of the quran knows no bounds. Jzk Bro Farid
