You might find difference between our translation and the interpretation of meaning of the Quraan.
As here we are trying to keep a literal meaning as much as possible.

LESSON 12

The
Demonstrative
Pronouns (part 2)

2- Demonstrative pronouns for the dual

These are two opponents
(believers and disbelievers)
disputed with each other about
their Lord
They said: "Verily! These are two
magicians. They want to drive you
out from your land with their
magic, and take you away from
your ideal way.

He said: "I intend to wed one of

these two daughters of mine to
you, on condition that you serve
me for eight years."
"Put your hand in your bosom, it
will come forth white without a
disease; and draw your hand close
to your side to be free from fear.
Those are two Burhaans (signs,
miracles, evidences, proofs) from
your Lord to Fir'3awn and his
chiefs. Verily, they are the people
who are Faasiqoon (rebellious,
disobedient to Allaah).

And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allaah, and the Christians say:
Messiah is the son of Allaah. That is their saying with their mouths, resembling
the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime. Allaah's Curse be on them, how
they are deluded away from the truth!
In the example above the name after is not a truly the father of the name
before, that is why

* You should start learning to search in the dictionary for the meanings of the words
that you do not know:
- I suggest AL-MAWRID Dictionary (Arabic-English): it is easy to use.
- The nouns should be in singular form and without of definition. Ex.
- The verbs should be in the past tense form and without any connected
pronoun. E.g. verb for HE. Ex.
