The list of uses in the Quran correctly translates this as the Maadhi (past tense), but the main page incorrectly translates it as a command (and says plural command).
…should the transliteration not read: itasamu ?
The transliteration is matching the plural command but the arabic has a fathah on the Saad which means it is the Maadhi, not the command. I think the proper fix here would be to put a kasrah on the Saad. In the quran it is used in both Maadhi form and in command form so it is a bit confusing whcih one it is here, but for sure there is a mistake in the arabic not matching the translateration+translation.
JazakAllahu khayran, Idris you’re absolutely right, barakAllahu feek.
We’re currently conducting a full fix across our databases to correct this and anything similar.
We really appreciate the care you take in reporting these. May Allah reward you for it. Please keep them coming.
