434 The husbands are the sustainers over the wives with what preferred / favored the God one of them over the other, and with what they (husbands) spent(dowry) from their wealth. So thus in the absence of (husbands) respectful, controlling, the righteous women who gaurded/controlled what meant to be by the God. And those whom you afraid misconducts of theirs, so then advise them and keep them away in/from the inclinations/approaches and restrain them. So if they obeyed you, then don't seek a path against them. Indeed the God is great in Rank. though some of the women may not like what God has meant above, but it is the truth from God.. There is a reason behind giving a lot wealth to a woman by husband before marriage...it has lot of hidden reasons.. Women not need to give but men... Musa's father in law ordered musa to serve him 8 years has a weighty Proof of that, since musa was empty handed and homeless.. Serving 8 years to father was a condition and it was the demand of dowry from a person who had nothing to guve as dowry ..so men are different to women in the sight of God.. But all are equal in action and in reward... Also giving a demanded wealth according to one's ability will definitely reduce to certain extent false marriage or marriage for sex and throw. Coz demand is high and who wants to have sex by paying such a big amount.. So genuinely marrying only would come up with.. That's my take.. Otherwise pls explain what is the reason of dowry given to women regardless of her social status rich or poor.. I see that your translations lacks English syntax, in other words it does not flow good in English. For example when you said this "with what preferred / favored the God one of them over the other". Why are you translating Qawwamun as "sustainer"? Another question, why are you translationg iddribihunna as "restrain them"?

when Quran commands "read" did prophet Muhammad disobey and not read or learn to read? Salam to all, The question is why Would he be commanded to read if he is did not know? This is a the question I usually ask myself God bless

Salam Ervin, Welcome to free-minds.org! I come from a secular Sunni background. When I decided to follow only the Holy Quran, I discovered this forum, which has significantly shaped my understanding of its message over the years. I want to assure you that you are in the right place if you genuinely seek to understand the correct version of Islam. Here, we have many intellectual users who delve deep to decode the core message of Scripture. As for the "Quran-only" tag, it’s a label others use because we follow only this Scripture. In reality, we are simply Muslims who do not rely on any secondary sources for guidance or law. God tells us in the Quran “Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt. 6114.” “These are GOD’s revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which Hadith other than GOD and His revelations do they believe (456)?” This world has witnessed many messengers who brought the True messages. Isa (the Messiah) was one of them, bestowed with the Injeel to teach his people. However, Iblis, the leader of the Satans, succeeded in corrupting the Book. The Injeel was replaced by the Bible, which was written by various authors. As a result, we encounter contradictions, such as in Matthew 1040, where Jesus appears to claim that he and God are one and the same. Also, in John 1036, “What about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?” Yet, in Numbers 2319, it states "God is not a man, that He should lie, neither the son of man, that He should repent. Hath He said, and shall He not do it?" If Jesus and God are the same, why would there be a contradiction, or why would Jesus seemingly lie or contradict the nature of God? Conversely, God tells is in the Quran “O people of the Book, do not overstep in your system, nor say about God except the truth. Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of God and the fulfillment of His word to Mary and a Spirit from Him. So, believe in God and His messengers, and do not say "Trinity." Cease, for it is better for you. God is only One God; HE is too Exalted to have a son!! To Him is all that is in the heavens and the earth; and God is enough as a Caretaker.4171.” Religion is man-made, a product of conspirators, and mainstream Islam is no exception. As a result, many Muslims practice rituals and seek guidance from books that God never sanctioned. Even our Quran is not free from erroneous translations. These translations are merely personal interpretations of the translator, subject to errors and biases. The Quran is written in classical Arabic, not in simple or modern Arabic, which makes understanding its true message challenging. Consequently, many diligent Quran students carefully study the Scripture to uncover its real message. By reading the Quran yourself, rather than just listening to the chapters, and comparing different translations, you will notice the differences. If you have any doubts, you can always ask here or in other Quran-only forums or groups for clarification. Peace Diasjj I agree, Research is key because we don't have Muhammad here to explain the revelations to us and other sources may have biases, misunderstandings and prejudices. God bless peace

Peace Dias jj We have USA, Russia and China playing chess with geopolitics. Can any of them be trusted? The world order is fragmenting without a clear organizing principle to follow. Within this transforming geopolitical landscape, the most important variables at play are the relative influence and leadership of the United States,Russia and China, and the bilateral relationship between these countries. What shape does the future geopolitical landscape take? In my opinion, Qoran will play a major role in awakening the masses about the dangers and the games that the leaders/elite...are up to. So many pioneers studying the book now are realising that past interpretations of the book are to be challenged and a new way/understanding of the book is taking root. We are still at the birth of the last days and more will come from this amazing book . Qoran addressing us-This generation onwards- The Hour has come closer, and the moon has split.* اقتَرَبَتِ السّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ القَمَرُ Then they saw a miracle; but they turned away and said, "Old magic." وَإِن يَرَوا ءايَةً يُعرِضوا وَيَقولوا سِحرٌ مُستَمِرٌّ They disbelieved, followed their opinions, and adhered to their old traditions. وَكَذَّبوا وَاتَّبَعوا أَهواءَهُم وَكُلُّ أَمرٍ مُستَقِرٌّ Sufficient warnings have been delivered to alert them. وَلَقَد جاءَهُم مِنَ الأَنباءِ ما فيهِ مُزدَجَرٌ Great wisdom; but all the warnings have been in vain. حِكمَةٌ بٰلِغَةٌ فَما تُغنِ النُّذُرُ Don t get me wrong, many will turn away and side with the elite and man s systems, GOD, after the warnings and lessons of the past, continues to address both sets -believers and disbelievers of our generation onwards Are your disbelievers better than those disbelievers? Have you been absolved/are going to be saved by the scripture? أَكُفّارُكُم خَيرٌ مِن أُولٰئِكُم أَم لَكُم بَراءَةٌ فِى الزُّبُرِ Perhaps they think, "We will be the winners." أَم يَقولونَ نَحنُ جَميعٌ مُنتَصِرٌ All of them will be defeated; they will turn around and flee. سَيُهزَمُ الجَمعُ وَيُوَلّونَ الدُّبُرَ The Hour is awaiting them, and the Hour is far worse and more painful. بَلِ السّاعَةُ مَوعِدُهُم وَالسّاعَةُ أَدهىٰ وَأَمَرُّ Those who know GOD is in control and His promise will come true have nothing to worry about or fear GOD will certainly protect and save His true believers.The scheming of the elite/evil doers will fail eventually Others before them have schemed, but to God belongs the ultimate scheming. He knows what everyone is doing. The disbelievers will find out who the ultimate winners are. وَقَد مَكَرَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم فَلِلَّهِ المَكرُ جَميعًا يَعلَمُ ما تَكسِبُ كُلُّ نَفسٍ وَسَيَعلَمُ الكُفّٰرُ لِمَن عُقبَى الدّارِ GOD bless you. Peace.

By the way, I said the following about deviation; The fact that people all over the world use expressions like "deviant" or "deviation" to describe those who turn toward wrong or evil shows that, in essence, humans are created and programmed for truth and goodness. These expressions are used in sacred texts to describe servants who are on the wrong path, and as I said, they are also present in the language and knowledge of people worldwide. These words, seen in the collective consciousness of humanity, indirectly reveal the acceptance that we were created upon perfect thought and behavior initially. If we think about it, the act of deviating or turning is not always bad. Sometimes a person can turn from their wrong ways and move towards what is right and good. However, we only use these expressions in a negative sense for those who deviate from the truth or for the wrong actions themselves. Even subconsciously, we know that since humans were initially/on the path of truth from birth, those who turn toward evil and wrong are "deviating, that is, moving away from the truth/revelation/ruh." And such people are briefly referred to as "deviants," and the related behavior is called "deviation," whether it concerns faith, behavior, or any other matter. Our holy book also explains the truth that we are created upon truth and goodness and shaped by fundamental revelation 7172 When your Lord brought forth offspring from the loins of the children of Adam, He made them testify against themselves "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we testify!" Thus, you cannot say on the Day of Resurrection, "We were unaware of this." 7173 Or you might say, "It was our forefathers who associated partners with Allah, and we are merely their descendants. Will You then destroy us for what those who followed falsehood did?" You must devote yourself to the religion as a monotheist (hanif). For Allah has created people with such a disposition. There is no altering Allah's creation. This is the perfect religion, but most people do not know (Surah Ar-Rum 30). In addition to the promise we made while in the womb, fundamental divine knowledge (revelation, or ruh) is embedded in our genes, and thus, just as we "know" that doing good to others is the right thing, we also "know" that Allah exists and is one. Those who deny the truth or believe in superstitions are knowingly making these mistakes. And that is why we are responsible (we have no excuse in the Hereafter), because this knowledge (fundamental revelation) is within us, and because it confirms the verses of the Quran (since the truth of the Quran is based on evidence). In this world of trial in which we live, we are obliged to believe in the true religion and knowledge and to avoid superstitions. Even if it seems like we don't remember on the surface, when we delve deeper, we recall everything and are aware of all the knowledge and truth that has been embedded in us. For these reasons, even though humans may not be fully aware of it on the surface, generally, the same expressions are used worldwide to describe those who engage in a certain degree of evil or wrong thoughts/actions and the behavior itself. The same definitions are even used in the fields of psychology and psychiatry. We say that a person initially (from birth) had correct knowledge, was created on the right path, but later turned their back on the verses within and turned toward wrong, meaning they "deviated" onto the wrong path. We are actually subconsciously aware of this. This is how those who distance themselves from truth and goodness are described in the verses Surah Ibrahim 18 The deeds of those who reject their Lord are like ashes scattered by the wind on a stormy day. They gain nothing from what they earned. This is the essence of irretrievable deviation. Surah An-Nisa 116 Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that for whom He wills. Whoever associates partners with Allah has certainly gone far astray. As I mentioned, people all over the world also affirm this information given by the verses; they label those with "extremely unhealthy thoughts and behaviors" in the same way (people of different beliefs may have completely different understandings of good/evil, right/wrong in many areas, but the term used for the act and the person performing it is the same). Thus, they actually acknowledge both the existence of universal and absolute truths/goodness and that people were created on the right path from the beginning.

In addition to technology, advanced civilizations and the comforts they provide are actually blessings that Allah has created for us. Holy Quran 3418 We placed between them and between the towns that We blessed, towns that were easy to see; and We measured the journey between them "Travel in them by night and day in complete security." 3419 But they said, "Our Lord, make the measure between our journeys longer," and they wronged themselves. So We made them a thing of the past, and We scattered them into small groups. In this are signs for every person who is patient, thankful.

Agreed, which prophet is this relating to please? Please point me to where you got the following from - further 'Fee Aswaj AdiiyaiHim' means ' concerning of their demand/request of life partners/mates Thanks. From the guidance of Allah.. Always within the Quran and from the language and the context and logic.. Yes.. it's the prophet to whom Al Quran/The Teaching was revealed.. it is no other prophet and it was not to any other faithful ones.. But to the prophet.. decided within the context of the verse... Note Allah is not commanding in the verse for every faithful one to marry when as soon as their ADOPTED sons divorce their wives.. It literally would in the end mean Adopted sons' wives are the property of her father-in-law alone and no one else can marry her.. It is not about 'ADOPTED SONS'... verse is about their demand/request of wives and no one needs to feel uneasiness in this matter.. Allah advised to faithful ones.. Allah has crystal cleared whom one cannot marry in verse 423...and faithful ones already knew... This verse 3337 is not about a list of those whom you cannot marry but it is about their demand when someone is about to divorce her.. In the modern way, I should say ' concerning their proposal of life partners/mates' To further clarify, if one has a desire/interest in anyone who is about to get divorced, you can propose/demand their wives…. But they should be within the allowed list.. For example, if your cousin is about to divorce her wife, your brother is about to divorce her wife your adopted son is about to get divorced from her wife, or your friend is about to get divorced from her wife, your adopted brother is about to get divorced from her wife or your step brother is about to get divorced from her wife, etc., you can ‘propose/demand their wives’ without having to feel any discomfort if you are interested in them… But marry her once he ended from her desirousness… i.e. legally divorced.. thank you

This might be their final agenda. Humanity will witness this calamity. But geoengineering can bring havoc to our atmosphere as well.

By "bring forth the captives" I take "bring forth" to mean the same I do for mathal/example. When an example is put forth, or shown forth, or propounded, or cited, or brought about, it is brought from non-existence to existence or from non-attention to attention. In other words captives are brought about, or more simply, as you put it "take captives". Hence why I said, quote "One meaning of DaRaBa found in Lane's Lexicon is "he made or caused to be or constituted" which is similar to the suggested meaning discussed above." Salaam, How to bring forth "the captives", not bind them? Back then a single captive could take 1-2 guards. The Battle of Firaz. Khalid ibn al-Waleed wipes out an army 10x his size. https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj4KpbVyNn8 Likewise Lane's (ضرب) … And ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ ; and الأَعْنَاقَ ↓ ضَرَّبْتُ ; the teshdeed denoting muchness or multiplicity AZ says that, when the object is one, the Arabs use only the former verb, without teshdeed; but when there is a plurality of objects, either of the verbs; (Msb one says, ضَرَبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ , and أَمَرَ الرِّقَابِ ↓ بِتَضْرِيبِ (A فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ in the Kur xlvii. 4 is originally فَاضْرِبُوا الرِّقَابَ ضَرْبًا ; (Bd the inf. n. being here put for its verb.

I used the term "principle" to convey my understanding. It does not mean that God explicitly names principles in the Quran. I use this term to describe consistent themes or guidelines I see in the Quran. Just like in my workplace, where we refer to principles, procedures, and policies to describe consistent approaches, I used "principle" here to express a similar idea in human language. So, when I talked about the Quranic principle regarding testimony, I meant the consistent emphasis in the Quran on the need for direct evidence or witnessing, which I see reflected in various verses. In the Quran, testimony is closely linked to having direct knowledge or evidence. For example, in (2282), it is stated "O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it down. And let a scribe write between you in justice. Let no scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the obligation dictate. And let him fear Allah, his Lord, and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men , then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her." This verse highlights the importance of having reliable witnesses who can directly observe and testify accurately about financial transactions. Another relevant verse is (4135) "O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort or refuse , then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted." This verse stresses the necessity of justice and truthfulness in testimony, implying that testimony should be based on what one has directly witnessed or has solid evidence for. The principle here is that testimony in the Quran is meant to be truthful and based on direct witnessing or strong evidence. This is why I second (correct me if I got it wrong about your statement) your understanding of the use of the word "testified" in "The True Al Furqan" as inconsistent when referring to a belief about the nature of Jesus, as it suggests a declaration without direct evidence. I hope this clarifies my use of the term "Quranic principle." Added However, in matters of faith, "shahada" is an expression of one’s belief and conviction in the truths revealed by God. For instance "Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and the angels and those of knowledge - maintaining in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise." (Quran 31 In this verse, the term "witness" (shahada) is used to declare the fundamental belief in the oneness of God, which is based on faith and revealed knowledge rather than direct observation. In essence, while "shahada" in the Quran about faith matters signifies belief in revealed truths, the use of "testified" in "The True Al Furqan" regarding a theological claim about Jesus presents a contradiction with what Quran says about Jesus.

that's why i'm here, i'm trying to say, if you look at the 99 names, how many of them are not either directly about consciousness itself or else support/propriety of conscious beings every function of ALLAH is related to consciousness, either as consciousness itself or as the claim to the things pertaining to consciousness. that is to say, for example, we see ROBIL-ALLAH is watchfulness, and that is consciousness itself then we can go on and look at AL HAQ, the truth/the real, and we know that is necessary for the support of conscious beings, for without it our suffering would overtake us more easily the examples go on but ALLAH is ar rashid and I have to leave it to ALLAH, INSHA-ALLAH! alhamduillah upon you be peace Allah is indeed conscious of everything but it is not the main element of Allah.. I don't know about 99 or fewer or more elements but each element is different but correlated though but not one.. Is Might a consciousness or the capacity of strength? Isn't Allah Mighty?

I reopened this topic to present my comprehensive stance pertaining to the statement "la ilaha illa Alla Mohamed Rasool Allah" or just "la ilaha illa Alla" with the wording that "I bear witness or I testify"... No way I would make these statements with the wording 'I bear witness" But I will always say "Rabbu Allah / Our Lord is Allah".. if I translate in my understanding.. Our/My Dignitary/Lord/One who commands (Rabb) is the Deity/The God/The Supreme Being.. I wont TESTIFY this but I believe this.. I like to follow 2285 by using the word BELIEVE.. So rather I would SAY Rabbu Allah and not I would TESTIFY.. Bring a single SHAHADA verse within the Quran where you can testify/witness anything while it is only a faith.. Based on faith we can't testify... But one can indeed TESTIFY in this manner.. for example... One person is comprehensive of the original book Torah or Injeel and suddenly he happens to read the book of the Quran and if he is convinced he can Testify that this Quran is indeed from the same Lord as of the Torah and Injeel.. His testimony is based on two other books.. Testimony should have valid criteria.. You can say .. I believe / I assume / I think / I am sure / I am confident that he is the murderer but you can't say I TESTIFY that he is the murderer without ???? There is no TESTIMONY as "Ashadu anna La ilaha Illa Alla" or with the addition of Mohamed.. all inventions.. But you can SAY la ilaha illa Allah but you can't TESTIFY..

Hello, Coming back to the topic. I want to list these miraculous events and ask everyone for their opinions as short. Do you believe in the literal translation, or do you have another interpretation? and if yes why do you believe these are Allegorical in understanding? Those are obviously allegorical, but their understanding must not be done by guessing or at random. The first point is to understand to whom the message was delivered in first place (i.e. not us in 21st CE) and what was their religious background. We know today that Arabia at the beginning of the 7th CE was not polytheistic. Qur'an message was therefore not addressed to polytheists. We can even understand that from internal understanding of Qur'an in numerous places, Qur'an talks to "children of Israel". Most of the narrations are about biblical characters. I will not show it here because it would be too long, but those "children of Israel" were actually Gnostics, so they practised a kind of Judaism that disappeared (or more accurately, became Islam as we know today), that Judaism was different from Rabbinic Judaism we know today. We can think of this prior religion that saw emergence of Qur'an like a kind of Marabout Jewish Sufism with witchcraft and / or kabbalistic practices (like Islamic Sufism does in some countries). With that background in mind, we have to learn how ancient Jewish scholars understood the Scriptures they didn't explain them through Greek or Latin philosophical pitch as we are used to, but mostly through new stories. The process of explaining the Scriptures, the Divine Law, the Divine will at ancient Jewish scholars is called "midrash" (this word is cognate to Arabic madrasa). So we need to learn and understand the Jewish midrash in order to grasp how the ancient Jewish scholars understood the Scriptures, hence to understand Qur'an. This is why the interpretations of G.A. Perwez are mostly wrong. Splitting of the Sea (Moses) Reference Quran 2663 (Arabic "فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ", English "So We inspired to Moses, 'Strike with your staff the sea,' and it split, and each part became like a great mountain.&quot Traditional Interpretation A miraculous intervention by God, displaying His power to save Moses and the Israelites by parting the sea. The staff is in principle the symbol of the lawgiver or ruler (I got that in a book in French, Germain Bienaimé Moïse et le don de l’eau dans la tradition juive ancienne, which itself refers to the Document of Damas). The sea in ancient Jewish thinking usually symbolizes idolatry (because water is salty and cannot be drunk, unlike sweet water which symbolizes the divine Law and can be drunk at will). The mountain usually symbolizes the Law (because the Law was given to Moses on a mountain, the mountain is also the connection between Earth and Heavens). In addition to these Jewish symbols, it's likely that Qur'an wants us to hear "furqan" in "firqin" / part, because furqan means salvation (and not criterion like I often sees in translations). Also Tawd / mountain is the only place where this word is used, I suspect that audience in the 7th CE knew also Syriac where tawd means religion or belief. Basically this is allegory of Moses as lawgiver to the Children of Israel turned idolatry into Law and salvation. The Virgin Birth (Jesus) Traditional Interpretation A divine miracle where Mary gives birth to Jesus without any male intervention, highlighting the miraculous power of God. Reference Quran 1920-21 (Arabic "قَالَتْ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِي بَشَرٌ وَلَمْ أَكُ بَغِيًّۭا. قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ ٱللَّهُ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ إِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًۭا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ", English "She said, 'How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?' He said, 'Thus Allah creates what He wills. When He decrees something, He says to it only, 'Be,' and it is.&quot GA Perwez's interpretation misses the whole point of this passage that Mary is reluctant to welcome the good news of the birth of Jesus. Mary is not physical person, or does not need to be. She symbolizes the community of the pious (the "muttaqi" that is free from idolatry, i.e. virgin) that is reluctant to accept the leading role of guiding people to world to come. Qur'an uses the world "ghulam" for boy instead of usual "bin", which seems a curious choice. But the reason is that ghulam is graphically close in Arabic to 'alam which means world. In the Jewish thinking, the olam haba is the world to come, i.e. the fulfillment of the promise of salvation. Reviving the Dead Traditional Interpretation Prophets like Jesus were given the power to revive the dead as a sign of their divine authority and God's supremacy by the order of God. Reference Quran 349 (Arabic "وَأُحْيِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ", English "And I give life to the dead by the permission of Allah.&quot GA Pervez GA Perwez's interpretation is mostly correct here. The Night Journey (Isra and Mi'raj) Traditional Interpretation A physical and/or spiritual journey undertaken by Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem and then to heaven, affirming his prophethood and the miracles associated with it. Reference Quran 171 (Arabic "سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ إِلَىٰ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْأَقْصَا ٱلَّذِي بَـٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهُۥ لِنُرِيَهُۥ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَآ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ", English "Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.&quot I don't know what this one refers to, I'm not even sure it speaks of Qur'an messenger, seems rather Moses. Creation of Adam Traditional Interpretation God created Adam from clay as the first human, breathing life into him, demonstrating God’s creative power. Reference Quran 3871-72 (Arabic "إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًۭا مِّن طِينٍۢ فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ", English "When your Lord said to the angels, 'Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay. So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My soul, then fall down to him in prostration.'&quot This verse is not about the creation of human species per se. First of all, human being is the translation of "bashar", which is cognate to "bushra" which means good news. Bushra, i.e. bessora in Hebrew, that has given evangelion in Greek, is a very important concept of the ancient Jewish thinking. It is the annonciation of the salvation, end of exile, redemption, coming of the Messiah, etc. The clay is a raw material, i.e. without knowledge of the divine Law, so again, it symbolizes idolatry. It needs the Holy Spirit (the breath of God) to turn it into annonciation of salvation. Solomon and the Ants Solomon was granted the ability to understand animals, demonstrating his unique prophetic wisdom. The story illustrates his compassion and awareness, as he heeds the warning of an ant to avoid harming it and its fellow ants unintentionally. Reference Quran 2718-19 (Arabic "حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌۭ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّمْلُ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مَسَـٰكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَـٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ", English "Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, 'O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not.'&quot The story of Solomon and the ants exists also a Jewish midrash, though it is not clear who influenced who. In fact, naml in Arabic means ant but also lie. So the story is an allegory about Solomon destroying lies with truth without even caring. Age of Noah Traditional Interpretation Noah is one of the longest-lived prophets in Islamic tradition. According to the Quran, he preached to his people for 950 years before the great flood occurred. This extended lifespan is seen as a testament to his perseverance in delivering God's message despite the continued disbelief of his people. Reference Quran 2914 (Arabic "وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَامًا فَأَخَذَهُمُ الطُّوفَانُ وَهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ", English "And We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized them while they were wrongdoers.&quot I don't know about this one. I have given an example translation from GA Pervez which is sort of complete extreme version of not taking things literally and my understanding differs from his but I quoted him as an example For example His interpretation of the chapter 105 The elephand which atleast I grew up understanding from my elders is quite different I was told to believe the literal translation that أَبَابِيلَ i do not know carrying stones protected the sacred site by pelting the army, leading to their destruction. See below SURAH 105 Al-Fîl This one is complicated. For those who read French, here is a theory about it, that I don't share though https//www.lechampdumidrash.net/hadith-et-tradition-musulmane/les-elephants/

Hello... Peace.. No inconsistency Pery… look at the singular form ‘IndiKa’… Whoever said this is desperate… When good befallen (asab) them, they accepted that it is from Allah… But strangely when evil afflicted(asab) them, they blamed the Messenger / IndiKa here is the Messenger.. Allah replied ‘Each (good or evil) from Allah when it befalls and when it afflicts but based on our own actions… Not to blame anyone else.. Here the word asab’ should be taken as befall and afflict depending on good or evil.. No one can find inconsistency in Allah’s book… confusion for you is the word used ASAB.. we can say rain has fallen/asab and also disaster asab/afflicted.. further clarification in below verse 4248 But if they turn away - then We have not sent you over them as a guardian; upon you is only notification. And indeed, when We let man taste mercy FROM US, he rejoices in it; but if evil afflicts him for WHAT HIS HANDS HAVE PUT FORTH, then indeed, man is ungrateful. 4230 And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned, but He pardons much. Read all relevant ASAB verses to get a better grip on your claim... EVERYTHING is from ALLAH but based on what we did.. it's kind of instant Karma.. it can fall to anyone regardless believers or disbelievers..

Fusion, I dont believe in Global suffering or what ever added with a global prefix now i think is kind of SCAM. Regarding the Palestine issue, Yes i agree people suffer there, but The voices or the symbols(both Israel and Palentinian), that are coming out of this struggle has religion all over it, the slogans, the flags and even what people speak there etc.. or am i wrong? Even now many people take side based on religious sides ignoring the real suffering by the innocents(almost 90%) there. Lets think about both sides, make peace(islam) a priority and accept our weakness and strengths and fight for justice thinking about our long term wellbeing. The people there are so culturally close? Islam as religion is an extention of Jewish faith(monotheistic) made to be compatible with the Arab culture, so peace should be easy if people start rejecting and emigrating out of the extreme ways and ideas. For others, Lets not take sides based on race or religion, nothing idiotic than this and its not islamic or Quranic in anyway.

Peace jkhan. Like most Qoranic words ,Ruh has different meanings according to the context of the verses. For example, this Ruh in "Nazala Bihi Al Ruh Al Amin" means " the living Angel brought it-From the ever living revealer- to your..." Therefore one common aspect of all meanings of Ruh is "Something alive/lively..." Ruh in 17;85 is the "alive revelation" that continues to inspire every generation according to their time,place and knowledge. The messenger that outlives all messengers. Also it is as if it is still coming down live from the original tablet at GOD. "Wa La Taajal Bi Al Qoran Min Kabli An Yukda Ilaika Wahyahu..." i.e "Do not rush with Qoran, let/seek... inspiration as you gradually learn/study it..." Yes brother, I find Qoran a live scripture. Everyday one learns something new from it, it never runs out of giving new knowledge every time one reads/studies it. GOD bless you. Peace.

I anticipate that I keep my words limited to the Heading.. laugh Who is more worthy to be burned in Hellfire under this scenario ..? The disbelieving Poor who killed his children or the disbelieving Rich who never cared about it..? or both? If the poor are punished under these circumstances the same as the rich, would that look like a sound judgment..? Does the needy person deserve hellfire while he never indulged in Allah’s material resources? In the animal kingdom, somehow everyone gets their portion because the distribution is not distracted.. So... Isn't the poor worse than the animals..? Salam... JKhan, it seems like you often start a thread, gather everyone's attention, and then wait for all the answers before posing your own thoughts which you could have stated before. It feels like you are leading us on a journey with your confident understanding. Just adding a touch of humor here. Who is More Worthy of Hellfire? I have the simple understanding that everyone will be judged according to their actions and circumstances, while we can not fully grasp the extent of HIS justice. 6164 Say, "Is it other than Allāh I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things? And every soul earns not except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ." Does the Needy Deserve Hellfire? As for a needy person, if not indulging in sin despite their hardships, has a different standing than a disbelieving rich person who hoards wealth and neglects the poor. Comparing the poor to animals overlooks the dignity and resilience that God has provided to man and you should know that "And We have certainly honored the children of Adam." (Quran 1770) "Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, as much as an atom's weight." (Quran 440) This honor is not diminished by poverty. Human life, regardless of material wealth, is valuable and judged by moral and spiritual standards.
