(b) What does it mean by “those in authority?” Is Allah talking about those who have begun translating the Qur’an in their own way, and start compiling their own narrations? Because probably if one cannot understand some verses of the Qur’an and they start to explain it using their OWN words, wouldn’t this be a form of compiling their own sayings or hadeeth – which may mean their own tradition or Sunnah? Are we supposed to obey such people or should we as individuals come up with our own unique understanding of Qur’anic verses and have our own unique and individual hadeeth? (c) What is the significance of Allah mentioning the Messenger in relation to “hypocrites turning away?”
Hakuna yoyote atakayekataa ya kuwa neno Swahili au Sawahel ni neno lenye asili ya Kiarabu, ambalo lina maana ya Pwani au Mwambao. Kwa hivyo, ni wazi kabisa kuwa jina au neno Swahili halikuapo kabla ya kuja kwa Waarabu. Hivyo basi, wema mmoja ambao Waarabu waliwafanyia wenyeji wa Mwambao wa Afrika ya Mashariki na visiwa vyake ni kuwabandikiza neno lililoanza kutumika kama jina la taifa la wenyeji hao, litambulikanalo leo hii kama Taifa La wa-Swahili, yaani Taifa La wa-Mwambao. Watu wa taifa hili ni Waswahili, yaani Wamwambao, au kwa jina la kiasili, Wangozi. Na hapo pao napo paitwa Uswahilini. Na mila na dasturi zao ndiyo Uswahili. Na lugha ya watu hawa ni Kiswahili. Ni lugha ambayo maneno yake zaidi yatokamana na ndimi za makabila ya kati - kama vile Kimvita, Kichangamwe na Kitangana; halafu ikatukua na maneno ya Kiamu, Kivanga, Kipemba, Kingazija, Kibarawa, Kigiriama, na kadhalika.
