The word ''lama'' in Quran

The uses of the word'' lama'' in Quran
1. The denial of an action in the past time
Quran states
وَآخَرِینَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا یَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِیزُ الْحَكِیمُ
As well as (to confer all these benefits upon) others of them, who have not already joined them: And He is exalted in Might, Wise.
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تُتْرَكُوا وَلَمَّا یَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ الَّذِینَ جَاهَدُوا مِنكُمْ وَلَمْ یَتَّخِذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلَا رَسُولِهِ وَلَا الْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَلِیجَةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَبِیرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
Or think ye that ye shall be abandoned, as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might and main, and take none for friends and protectors except Allah, His Messenger, and the (community of) Believers? But Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
2. Exception
Exalted God states
وَإِن كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِیعٌ لَّدَیْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ
.( But each one of them all - will be brought before Us (for judgment
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَیْهَا حَافِظٌ
.There is no soul but has a protector over it
3. Time
Quran states
فَلَمَّا أَن جَاءَ الْبَشِیرُ أَلْقَاهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ فَارْتَدَّ بَصِیرًا ۖ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّی أَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Then when the bearer of the good news came, He cast (the shirt) over his face, and he forthwith regained clear sight. He said: "Did I not say to you, ´I know from Allah that which ye know not.
وَقَالَ الشَّیْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِیَ الْأَمْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدتُّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِیَ عَلَیْكُم مِّن سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِی ۖ فَلَا تَلُومُونِی وَلُومُوا أَنفُسَكُم ۖ مَّا أَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُصْرِخِیَّ ۖ إِنِّی كَفَرْتُ بِمَا أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِن قَبْلُ ۗ إِنَّ الظَّالِمِینَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمٌ
And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty.
فَلَوْلَا كَانَتْ قَرْیَةٌ آمَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَا إِیمَانُهَا إِلَّا قَوْمَ یُونُسَ لَمَّا آمَنُوا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْیِ فِی الْحَیَاةِ الدُّنْیَا وَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِینٍ
Why was there not a single township (among those We warned), which believed,- so its faith should have profited it,- except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the penalty of ignominy in the life of the present, and permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
4. Usurping the property of others
Quran states
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
And ye devour inheritance - all with greed.
In the darkness period, women and children were deprived of inheritance and their properties were usurped.
Quran states
إِنَّمَا النَّسِیءُ زِیَادَةٌ فِی الْكُفْرِ ۖ یُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا یُحِلُّونَهُ عَامًا وَیُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَامًا لِّیُوَاطِئُوا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فَیُحِلُّوا مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ ۚ زُیِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ أَعْمَالِهِمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِینَ
Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year, in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.
إِلَّا تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا ثَانِیَ اثْنَیْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِی الْغَارِ إِذْ یَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا ۖ فَأَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِینَتَهُ عَلَیْهِ وَأَیَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا السُّفْلَىٰ ۗ وَكَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِیَ الْعُلْیَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَزِیزٌ حَكِیمٌ
If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
كَالَّذِینَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَالًا وَأَوْلَادًا فَاسْتَمْتَعُوا بِخَلَاقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلَاقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِینَ مِن قَبْلِكُم بِخَلَاقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِی خَاضُوا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
As in the case of those before you: they were mightier than you in power, and more flourishing in wealth and children. They had their enjoyment of their portion: and ye have of yours, as did those before you; and ye indulge in idle talk as they did. They!- their work are fruitless in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will lose (all spiritual good.
یَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ مَا قَالُوا وَلَقَدْ قَالُوا كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِمْ وَهَمُّوا بِمَا لَمْ یَنَالُوا ۚ وَمَا نَقَمُوا إِلَّا أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ ۚ فَإِن یَتُوبُوا یَكُ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْ ۖ وَإِن یَتَوَلَّوْا یُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِیمًا فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِی الْأَرْضِ مِن وَلِیٍّ وَلَا نَصِیرٍ
They swear by Allah that they said nothing (evil), but indeed they uttered blasphemy, and they did it after accepting Islam; and they meditated a plot which they were unable to carry out: this revenge of theirs was (their) only return for the bounty with which Allah and His Messenger had enriched them! If they repent, it will be best for them; but if they turn back (to their evil ways), Allah will punish them with a grievous penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: They shall have none on earth to protect or help them.
یَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَیْكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَیْهِمْ ۚ قُل لَّا تَعْتَذِرُوا لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ قَدْ نَبَّأَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ ۚ وَسَیَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَالِمِ الْغَیْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَیُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
They will present their excuses to you when ye return to them. Say thou: "Present no excuses: we shall not believe you: Allah hath already informed us of the true state of matters concerning you: It is your actions that Allah and His Messenger will observe: in the end will ye be brought back to Him Who knoweth what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did.
مَا كَانَ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِینَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُم مِّنَ الْأَعْرَابِ أَن یَتَخَلَّفُوا عَن رَّسُولِ اللَّهِ وَلَا یَرْغَبُوا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ عَن نَّفْسِهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لَا یُصِیبُهُمْ ظَمَأٌ وَلَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا مَخْمَصَةٌ فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا یَطَئُونَ مَوْطِئًا یَغِیظُ الْكُفَّارَ وَلَا یَنَالُونَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ نَّیْلًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُم بِهِ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا یُضِیعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِینَ
It was not fitting for the people of Medina and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighbourhood, to refuse to follow Allah´s Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger, in the cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers, or received any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good.
وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ جَمِیعًا فَقَالَ الضُّعَفَاءُ لِلَّذِینَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ مِن شَیْءٍ ۚ قَالُوا لَوْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَهَدَیْنَاكُمْ ۖ سَوَاءٌ عَلَیْنَا أَجَزِعْنَا أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِن مَّحِیصٍ
They will all be marshalled before Allah together: then will the weak say to those who were arrogant, "For us, we but followed you; can ye then avail us to all against the wrath of Allah?" They will reply, "If we had received the Guidance of Allah, we should have given it to you: to us it makes no difference (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience: for ourselves there is no way of escape.
وَقَالَ الشَّیْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِیَ الْأَمْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ وَعْدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدتُّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِیَ عَلَیْكُم مِّن سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِی ۖ فَلَا تَلُومُونِی وَلُومُوا أَنفُسَكُم ۖ مَّا أَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُصْرِخِیَّ ۖ إِنِّی كَفَرْتُ بِمَا أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِن قَبْلُ ۗ إِنَّ الظَّالِمِینَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمٌ
And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty.
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِی خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِی سِتَّةِ أَیَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۖ یُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ ۖ مَا مِن شَفِیعٍ إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ إِذْنِهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority), regulating and governing all things. No intercessor (can plead with Him) except after His leave (hath been obtained). This is Allah your Lord; Him therefore serve ye: will ye not receive admonition?
إِلَیْهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِیعًا ۖ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا ۚ إِنَّهُ یَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیدُهُ لِیَجْزِیَ الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ بِالْقِسْطِ ۚ وَالَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِیمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِیمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا یَكْفُرُونَ
To Him will be your return- of all of you. The promise of Allah is true and sure. It is He Who beginneth the process of creation, and repeateth it, that He may reward with justice those who believe and work righteousness; but those who reject Him will have draughts of boiling fluids, and a penalty grievous, because they did reject Him.
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْحَیَاةِ الدُّنْیَا كَمَاءٍ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ مِمَّا یَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ وَالْأَنْعَامُ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَخَذَتِ الْأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَازَّیَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ أَهْلُهَا أَنَّهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَیْهَا أَتَاهَا أَمْرُنَا لَیْلًا أَوْ نَهَارًا فَجَعَلْنَاهَا حَصِیدًا كَأَن لَّمْ تَغْنَ بِالْأَمْسِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآیَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ یَتَفَكَّرُونَ
The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies: by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals: (It grows) till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out (in beauty): the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day, and We make it like a harvest clean-mown, as if it had not flourished only the day before! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect.
وَاتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ یَا قَوْمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَیْكُم مَّقَامِی وَتَذْكِیرِی بِآیَاتِ اللَّهِ فَعَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَأَجْمِعُوا أَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَاءَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا یَكُنْ أَمْرُكُمْ عَلَیْكُمْ غُمَّةً ثُمَّ اقْضُوا إِلَیَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِ
Relate to them the story of Noah. Behold! he said to his people: "O my people, if it be hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of Allah,- yet I put my trust in Allah. Get ye then an agreement about your plan and among your partners, so your plan be on to you dark and dubious. Then pass your sentence on me, and give me no respite.
وَإِن یَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن یُرِدْكَ بِخَیْرٍ فَلَا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ ۚ یُصِیبُ بِهِ مَن یَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِیمُ
If Allah do touch thee with hurt, there is none can remove it but He: if He do design some benefit for thee, there is none can keep back His favour: He causeth it to reach whomsoever of His servants He pleaseth. And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
