For me, I don't take all verses of the Quran as implementable. I see general verses as general that are able to be applicable today, and those that are singular or dual would not be applied today since they were likely for the Messenger and those around him. The verses about timings of Salah 11114, 1778 are singular and applying them generally violates the direction of the verses. Some verses were explicitly directed at the Prophet - "O you Prophet" 864, 870, 973, 3328, 3345, 3350, 3359, 6012, 651, 661, and 669. These type of verses are just recited and cannot be practiced today. There are others which were obviously for those interacting with the Messenger - those who made excuses for not fighting 945, asked permission to leave the gathering 242, who came to speak to the Messenger 5812 etc. All of these verses were directed at a specific people. We can take lessons from them but they were not for everyone, yet we still recite them as part of the Quran.

https//www.islamic-awareness.org/quran/text/mss/codexmashhad Different Surah Names For example, Ḥā-mīm al-Sharīʿa instead of al-Jāthiya (Q. 45), al-Nabī instead of al-Taḥrīm (Q. 66), al-ʿIshār instead of al-Takwīr (Q. 81), al-Ḥafaẓa instead of al-Infiṭār (Q. 82), al-Nāqa instead of al-Shams (Q. 91), and al-Zabāniyya instead of al-ʿAlaq (Q. 96). The Surah order represents reports of Ibn Mas'uds Quran The ʿUthmānic order and Ibn Masʿūd’s are similar in eight—or, according to Ibn al-Nadīm, in twelve places. The similarity of arrangement of sūras in standard ʿUthmānic and Ibn Masʿūd’s version occurs in the following eight positions Hūd (11) – Yūsuf (12), al-ʿAnkabūt (29) – al-Rūm (30), Sabaʾ (34) – Fāṭir (35), al-Zumar (39) – Ghāfir (40), Fuṣṣilat (41) – al- Shūrā (42), al-Takwīr (81) – al-Infiṭār (82), al-Humaza (104) – al-Fīl (105) – Quraysh (106), and al-Masad (111) – al-Ikhlāṣ (112). Ibn Nadīm, on the authority of Faḍl b. Shādhān, adds four other positions al-Dhāriyāt (51) – al-Ṭūr (52), al-Mursalāt (77) – al-Nabaʾ (7, al-Inshiqāq (84) – al-Burūj (85), and al-Ḍuḥā (93) – al-Sharḥ (94).

Islam The Theme of Creation - The First and the Fundamental Law for the physical realms. Synopsis Arabic words, nouns and verbs, stem from Roots (better to call them semantic seeds). The Root has specific, defined, distinct, conspicuous and apparent concept, phenomenon, perception and signification folded in it. It is the source, the reservoir of knowledge. Roots can be termed as "repertory of frames" of Arabic language if we follow frames approach to semantic analysis. For semantics, Root is like the first of trinucleotide sequence of anticodon in human genome for synthesis/translation. It signifies that the basic meanings of a Root and word do not exhaust when they are used in a different semantic field, relational area, while necessarily retaining the base meanings, converging to original significance. This phenomenon is particular to the words which are other than those coined to denote and identify a specific tangible object, or person, i.e. substantive nouns. Actions and gestures, bodily actions or body language has various levels of intensity, depth, magnitude proportionally reflecting the feel and state of heart and mind. The source of word Islam is Root س ل م. Learned Lexicographer Ibn Faris stated that its original signification is exactitude, validity, health and wellness, and when man is free of deformity, disablement and from damage, and harm. Its natural collocates are أُمَّةًۭ ; and مِلَّةَ and ٱلدِّينُ Constitution - Code of Conduct in life. Contents Islam as verbal noun and Proper Noun - signifying the Theme of Creation. Cultivating Awe - practicing mindfulness - what a man ought to be. People of aristocracy who are adamant and vehement in their contention قَوْمًۭا لُّدًّۭا Linguistic Semantics Qur’ān itself acts as Lexicon Symbol, the distinct verbal Emblem of a Muslim is his saying سَلَٟمٌ عَلَيْكَ and سَلَٟمٌ عَلَيْكُـمْ Rise of أُمَّةًۭ مُّسْلِمَةً "generation of submitters to Monotheism"; and مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ the Community of Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam Arrival of the real Protagonist of the created realms - خَاتَـمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ Authenticating Accomplisher of Unique Galaxy (ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ) Revival of مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ and emergence of أُمَّةًۭ وَسَطًۭا Islam is superb cheerful "Serotonin" - satisfaction, happiness and optimism - golden yellow colour of the Cow. http//haqeeqat.pk/UniverseSciencesAndQuranIslam.htm

, the verse that says not to marry 2 sisters together says that polygamy is allowed, but marrying 2 sisters at the same time is forbidden. If polygamy was forbidden, there would be no need for the prohibition of marrying 2 sisters. In the same way, pork is forbidden in a different verse because it is halal to eat meat. If eating meat was haram, it would not have been stated in a separate verse that eating pork is haram. Because the prohibition of eating meat would automatically prohibit pork. And since polygamy is lawful, it is forbidden to marry 2 sisters in a separate verse. Because polygamy is lawful and there is no numerical limit. The only limit is whether women want their husbands to be polygamous or not. By the way, there is no restriction of four wives. A man can marry up to fifty or more women if the women so wish or if they give permission to their husbands.

Immigrant believing women Married with adamant Non-believers given asylum in Muslim state أَوْمَا مَلَـكَـتْ أَيْمَٟنُـهُـمْ أَوْمَا مَلَـكَـتْ أَيْمَٟنُكُـمْ There is no concept of sex outside the matrimonial bond (النِّكَاحُ) in Islam and Qur’ān Introduction Migration is Mandatory when retaining one's belief is in jeopardy Immigrant believing women Married with adamant Non-believers must be given asylum Women become "ٱلْمُحْصَنَٟتُ" "the impenetrably protected - made pearls of household" upon wedding. The elided object in Relevant Clause مَا مَلَـكَـتْ أَيْمَٟنُكُـم referent to emigrant women can be referent to domestic servant both male and female. The clause مَا مَلَـكَـتْ أَيْمَٟنُكُـمْ and noun فَتَيَٟتِكُـمْ "your housemaids" does not connote captive women - prisoners of war (أُسَٟرَىٰ ). The noun فَتَيَٟتِكُـمْ "your housemaids" cannot be taken to connote slaves. All Women other than sanctified are made permissible (اِحْلاَلٌ) only for rendering them ٱلْمُحْصَنَٟتُ wedded, pearls of household. No woman by any nomenclature is permissible for debauchery and making her concubine-mistress. Erroneous inferences blatantly contrary to divine injunctions drawn from replica Ayahs 2305 and 7029. Annexures Introduction Sexuality is one of the subjects that are most relevant to humanity. Sex is the greatest urge-appetite and pleasure of human beings, particularly men. Medical experts inform that the reason humans want sex is due to the hormone testosterone, which is predominantly male hormone. A normal male’s body produces 20 times more of this hormone than a female’s. This difference in real life experience may result in male feeling the same way after one day without sex as a female after twenty days; a male that has not had sex in twenty days feels the same as a female after more than a year without sex. Sexual endeavours are heterosexual, homosexual and self-gratification. In this study, focus is only on heterosexual, sexual relationship and protocols between opposite sexes. Qur’ān is declared as guidance (by predication and circumstantial accusative) for the Mankind and also as counselling for the people who endeavour to safeguard their selves by remaining within the prescribed bounds of attitude and behaviour. Any guide book is a practical book. Thereby, it is not only source of knowledge but also how to regulate and direct human conduct. Thereby, it needs to be self explicative and exegetical هَـٟذَا بَيَانٚ لِّلنَّاسِ This (Qur’ān) is a communication explicitly elucidated for the mankind. وَهُدٙى وَمَوْعِظَةٚ لِّلْمُتَّقِيـنَ ١٣٨ And it is guidance regulatory information for aright conduct and counselling results of affairs- disclosure of factual outcome of acts good and bad eventuality, reward and punishment - penal code, for those who sincerely endeavour to attain salvation. Qur’ān is described - predicated by بَيَانٚ a verbal noun. It stems from Root ب ى ن which signifies the repute, discernment, perspicacity of the thing, and its disclosure. Thereby, it denotes disunion, a cleavage, and middle, in between two objects. Thereby, with reference to Speech and Text it denotes eloquence, perspicacious, explicatory, exegetical verbal communication. It is loudly proclaimed in the Grand Qur’ān مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِـى ٱلـكِـتَٟبِ مِن شَـىْءٛۚ Our Majesty have not neglected mentioning in the Book (Grand Qur’ān) not at all a thing relevant to the audience. Keeping in view the objective of Divine Communication and extent of the claim in the aforementioned sentence of Ayah 638, it would be hard to think the neglect of mentioning the topics like marriage and sex protocols. The Miscellany of Grand Qur’ān is composed of two types of Unitary Verbal Passages. First type are those which are termed as "the Mother of the Book" signifying as being the basic purpose and essence of the Book. These Passages (ايَٟتٌۭ مُّحْكَمَٟتٌ) described by Passive Participle with adjectival specification of "permanently erected fixtures" caused to contain the established and firm commands, directions, injunctions, decision, decrees, universal writ and established facts and history, are a subset of -the Book. In addition, the other subset of Unitary Verbal Passages constituting Miscellany of the Book are Active Participles of Form-VI (مُتَشَٟبِـهَٟتٌۭ), that which perform act of mirroring invisible realities and facts through metaphorical presentations. However, Qur’ān is not a book of science in literal sense. Nevertheless, it portrays such physical realities which will keep getting exposed to human eye whereby it will seem exactly as were verbally mirrored in verbal passages. Ayahs treating the subject of sex are the (ايَٟتٌۭ مُّحْكَمَٟتٌ) practical subset of the Book of Guidance. Therefore, they are structured in straight manner facilitating comprehension by readers of ordinary prudence. Although sometimes Euphemisms are used, the meanings are explicit contextually and because every young man is quite aware of it. The object of the study is to dispel erroneous perception imported into Islam by eisegete commentators regards the permissibility of sex with "captive - slave women" by reference to identically worded two Ayahs 2306 and 7030 assuming " أَوْمَا مَلَـكَـتْ أَيْمَٟنُـهُـمْ" means such women. They naively ignored the fact Grand Qur’ān is the only book in the world that has built in lexicon. It exposes the perception and meanings of its important words and terms in a picturesque manner by relationships, contrasts and by characterization. It exposes the meanings picturesquely by using it in different semantic fields whereby one can perceive all its dimensions relating to substance as well accident including metaphorical aspect. http//haqeeqat.pk/SexualityMaMalakat.htm

Mufti Menk has come up with a new Quran, ‘The Quran As Revealed’. According to the website https//quwaco.com, this is not an Arabic Quran. It contains English translations of the chapters that were revealed in Mecca. Another volume will be published soon and that will have the chapters revealed in Medina. The translations were carried out by two Islam converts, Abdalhaqq Bewley and Aisha Abdurrahman Bewley. Has anyone read the book? Is it even a good idea to collect different chapters of the Quran and publish them in book form?

Quran 930 وقالتاليهودعزيرابناللهوقالتالنصارىالمسيحابناللهذلكقولهمبأفواههميضاهئونقولالذينكفروامنقبلقاتلهماللهأنىيؤفكون The skeletal without the markings shows the verse can be read in different ways, especially the word عزير Uzair. It can be read asعُزَيْرٌ or عُزَيْرُ. Out of the famous 10 Quran transmitters, majority (7/10) recited it as عُزَيْرُ while a minority (3/10) recited it as عُزَيْرٌ, which became the most popular reading today. And depending on which of the two ways one reads عزير Uzair, it can either be a person, place or thing.

Righteousness Lessons from the Quran O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.(Quran 4913) And We have certainly created man in the best of stature. (Quran 954) And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with preference. (Quran 1770) "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes..." This verse beautifully reminds us of our diverse origins and backgrounds. We come from different parts of the world, but we share a common humanity. Our differences are not meant to divide us but to enrich our understanding of one another. "...that you may know one another." The Quran encourages us to embrace diversity. By getting to know people from different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives, we broaden our horizons. It's through these interactions that we can break down stereotypes and promote tolerance and understanding. "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." This part of the verse emphasizes that our true worth is not determined by our ethnicity, nationality, or social status. Instead, it's our character, our actions, and our righteousness that truly define our nobility. "Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." The verse concludes by reminding us that Allah is fully aware of our thoughts, intentions, and actions. We are accountable for our deeds, not our lineage. This should inspire us to strive for moral excellence and goodness in all that we do. Kindly Share more with us, please. By https//myquranteaching.com/

“يَا أَيُّهَا” (Ya Ayyuhaa) in which “يَا” (Ya) is a soft vocative particle that is derived by the soft characteristics of Arabic letter “ی” (ya) with the vocal extension “الف” (alif) to prolong the softness of “ی” (ya). This addressing article is rather like the archaic "O" in English to mean O, Oh, Hey etc. However, “أَيُّهَا” (Ayyuhaa) has been wrongly translated throughout the Quran, our learned scholars says that “أَيُّهَا" (ayyuha) is synonymous with يَا ‎(ya), with which it is often used redundantly in conjunction and this is also asserted that usage of redundant and suspended words is the norm in the Quran. In other words our scholar believe that Allah has used suspended, redundant, useless and meaning less words in the Quran! However, the truth is that no word of God revealed in the Quran is suspended, useless, redundant and without meaning. These ignorant scholars might not have read Allah’s challenge to the species of all human and genies to bring the same as the Quran but they can’t (178 If God himself has set and defined the value and standard of His respected words then how can we say about any word of the Quran that it is suspended or redundant or not in use? Either we have no knowledge about the words of the Quran or we are hiding Allah’s words in our unlawful belief. We must note that يَا ‎(ya) and أَيُّهَا ‎(ʾayyuha) are not synonyms of each other, and unlike يَا ‎(ya), the phrase أَيُّهَا ‎(ʾayyuha) inflects for gender addressing anything that is referred to by a grammatically feminine word like the word نفس (nfs) which means self.

Salam... Translation of Furqan also not satisfied me.. So I dig deep. . As of now the best possible meaning I could drag is EVIDENCE =FURQAN... Seven times the word does appear as Furqan in Quran.. It is not literally Entire Quran as some say or others say mostly as Criterion as a whole QURAN... Seven occasions of Furqan in Quran are very specific. They are tangible evidence either within quran or previous books or even God's evidences (not miracle but evidence) directly to witness... Curiosity further put me to check numbers.. I am not good at this if any flow pls point with numbers.. Verses where Furqan occurs are 253, 2185, 34, 829 841, 2148 and 251 Calculated the verse numbers it ended as 361 equal 19X19.. And counted chapter number it gave 69... 361+69=430 Though I am not good at gematrical value counting I still counted and it gave me surprisingly 430 for meer word Furqan. I found 25th chapter is the last verse of Furqan in Quran.. Well. 3+6+1+6+9 = 25 well that's ridiculously amazing. Well 7 times the word furqan appears.. 2+5 =7 (or even 430 .. 4+3+0 =7) Well I have not done anything like this before... But it took me only half an hour out of curiosity since I realized that word furqan means Evidence. I just kept the basic.. If anyone has explored in depth on furqan and numeric pattern pls share in the forum... Well.. Away from numeric... Let me talk about Furqan itself. 2185 " .... revealed the Quran, a guidance for people, and clear manifestations of/from THE Guidance and THE Evidence ( AL Furqan) .. I don't know how you people understand this but it is huge for me.. 251 " Blessed is He who sent down the EVIDENCE (the Furqan) to His Ibadi that IT may be a Warner to all Races (Alamin)... So in this Quran loads of evidences are Concealed and most are exposed... The evidences make believers more and more in faith and those reflect may increase in sha Allah.. Evidence always makes hearts linger towards it.. Isn't it.. Unless hearts are dirty...

I couldn't find any gathering of information into one single post, so if anyone has studied all the verses can post it here within one post. 2173, 51-5, 6145 and 16115. 51-2 are about a specific period. 53-5 are general and not specific. 6145 seems general also. 16115 is general. Which ones have I missed?

If you wish success and salvation Avoid relying and stay away from secondary - hearsay sources. Remain cognizant We are the masters of our destiny. We do not belong to this Universe comprising of Earth and the Sky, each layered in seven segments. Our origin is partly terrestrial; some constituent elements are earthly but the primary and vital element is water which is extraterrestrial matter, flash descended in measured quantity and stored in the Earth . We came into existence in areas beyond the space of Universe of Earth and Skies. However, a happening caused us to leave that place and we came down to the Earth. Perhaps, all those present on the Earth would have observed, for the first time, a UFO-Unidentified foreign object landing with the first Man and the First Lady on board as governors of their destiny enjoying freewill, autonomy and discretionary powers to self administer their affairs . فَأَزَلَّـهُـمَا ٱلشَّيْطَٟنُ عَنْـهَا Thereat, through devious manipulation Shai'taan caused both slip off her (the given advice). فَأَخْرَجَهُـمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِۖ Thereby, he (Shai'taan) caused the exile of of both of them from state of felicity-comfort in which they had been— وَقُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ And Our Majesty directed "You all descend. بَعْضُكُـمْ لِبَعْضٛ عَدُوّٚۖ Some of you people will be acting as enemy for some other. وَلَـكُـمْ فِـى ٱلۡأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرّٚ وَمَتَٟعٌ إِلَـىٰ حِيـنٛ.٣٦ Know it, comfortable dwelling and livelihood is arranged in the Earth for you people for a duration to an appointed moment of termination". We were told that this descent and sojourn on the Earth is for a limited period and that we might be ascended back to our ancestral abode, the Paradise, subject to we follow certain conditions. Our Universe, an Enclave comprising of seven Skies and the Earth, was created and subjected to the service of Human Beings. The impossibility to traverse and move out, or escape its frontiers is like this إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـٔ​َايَـٟتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْـبَـرُوا۟ عَنْـهَا Certain fact about those who publicly contradicted Our Aa'ya'at Verbal Passages of the Book -Unprecedented Displays and arrogantly deviated from them puffed and obsessed with pride of superiority and grandeur لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَـهُـمْ أَبْوَٟبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ The Doors of the Sky will not be opened for them — وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ حَـتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلْجَمَلُ فِـى سَمِّ ٱلْخِيَاطِۚ And they cannot enter into the Paradise. Their entrance therein is as impossible as that a Rope of the ship or the Camel might pass through the eye of the needle. وَكَذَٟلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُجْرِمِيـنَ .٤٠ Be mindful, this is how Our Majesty will requite the Criminals - the proven guilty. It should be noted that Sky is the one which was stretched and made as seven Skies. Therefore, the doors of the Sky mean the exit points for leaving our Universe and entering into foreign domain-extraterrestrial space. It should further be noted that the information regarding non opening of the Doors of the Sky is only about the Criminals-Convicts. Thus it is the man who is the master of his own destiny that stands decided at the time of his death in the Earthly world, and in the Hereafter it is just judicial formality for conviction.

Person of the Scribe and publisher of Divine Discourse A book is intellectual property of its Author. In academic circles, Reliability and Accuracy is the first and the foremost consideration and concern for a critical reader of certain book. Accuracy refers to whether the book provides verifiable and reliable factual information. For veracity, authenticity, and reliability it is not the Person of the Author that is important but it is the content that firstly matters. The second important aspect for evaluation of validity and reliability of a book are questions about the publisher - person relaying the Book verbally and in writing. Authors of great books never choose publisher randomly. The importance of the person chosen to introduce the Book is vital because it is he who will firstly give "life" to Author's book and then is the Intellectual Property - the content which will keep the Book alive in timeline. Relevant questions that need to be addressed about the Person of would be Publisher are firstly, whether he is well known; secondly, does he have political affiliations, leanings, or any specific agenda; thirdly, were he to gain financially from convincing the audience about the ideas and veracity of the Book. These are considered biases that undermine the value and reliability of presented work. Another related issue is about the license that the publisher has about the intellectual property. Intellectual property is overall term defining creations of the mind, like a book. A publisher may or may not be given the right of copyright and editing the original manuscript of the Book - Intellectual property. It is the form of expression of ideas, choice and arrangement of words. Its violation is called infringement. The publisher of Grand Qur’ān; Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam, the exalted Messenger - spokesperson of Allah, the Supreme Sovereign of Universes, was and is the most well known person in the peninsula of Arabia and later on in the whole of worlds.
