	Tanweer Malik 3rd August, 2013 AsSalamu Alaikum. Shouldn't the mood be Jussive (majzum), instead of Subjunctive (mansub) ? We are talking about "Let them not become....". So I think the mood is Majzoom due to the prohibition.
	Tanweer Malik 3rd August, 2013 On a second thought, may be it is mansub because of particle AN in front of Takhsha'a.
