    Bismillah There're 5 words from the root in ayets 652 (x2), 1129, 1130 and 26114. Their meaning is "to stalk" or "stalker", as "to spy" or "a spy". May Allah swt increase our knowledge and turn us towards Him and away from everything else. Allah swt knows best.

    I was reading that interesting thread and noted the following; https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9607061.20 Quote from Lena on February 09, 2015, 070037 AM @Hizbullah what do you mean " the prophet was not an Arab"? Please explain. <..> Quote from Hizbullah Salam, What you wrote are those from the hadist. Please read the verses below. Quote from Hizbullah on February 04, 2015, 012554 AM 2. Why was the Quran written in South Arabian Script when the Prophet was not an Arab? AQ1206 And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favour upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise. AQ2927 And We gave to Him Ishaq and Yaqub and placed in his descendants Prophethood and the Book. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the hereafter among the righteous. The above verses proofs that prophethood from the family of Abraham was granted to the descendents of Prophet Ishaq. The Last Prophet was a direct descendent of Prophet Ishaq and not Ismael as the Traditional Islamic sources implies! The Arabs are descended from the Prophet Ismael. In fact, all of us in this world at present descend from the 11 sons of Ismael. https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?action=post;quote=363782;topic=9607061.20;last_msg=400845 Pickthall's 125. He said O my dear son! Tell not thy brethren of thy vision, lest they plot a plot against thee . Lo! Satan is for man an open foe. 126. Thus thy Lord will prefer thee and will teach thee the interpretation of events, and will perfect his grace upon thee and upon the family of Jacob as he perfected it upon thy forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Lo! thy Lord is Knower, Wise. I noted Hizbullah refer 'you' with "Prophet Muhammad". However I would interpret the 'thee' in 126 should follow consistently with the immediate prior verse, i,e, 'thee' in 125. Thus 126 should be interpreted as; 126. Thus thy Lord will prefer thee and will teach thee the interpretation of events, and will perfect his grace upon thee and upon the family of Jacob as he perfected it upon thy forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Lo! thy Lord is Knower, Wise. In addition the is not filled in, if it is Prophet Muhammad, there will be inconsistency. Thus I believe Hizbullah's interpretation of 126 where in "thee " in indicated is wrong. Agree/Disagree? Note in the above case, I have not included the Arabic, transliterations, and word for word because I have quoted it from Pickthall and not my own translation. If any one do not agree with Pickthall for his point then we will have to did into the Arabic, transliterations, and word for word.

    Salaam/Peace to All, so let us clearly see these most Essential and important Verses, in this regard, here thus ========== 228- And those divorced-women shall wait for three menstruation-periods; and it is not lawful for them to conceal what AL-LAH has created in their wombs, if they believe in AL-LAH and the Last "Day" (=i.e. a specific reference to this Present "Thousand-Years" here in this World now 22/47 or/and Future "Infinite-Years" in the Hereafter then 36/54-5. And their husbands are more justified to return to them (specifically) in this (case of Pregnancy above), if they (=i.e. Wife and Husband mutually) wish to reconcile (therein). And for those Women (will come Responsibility, when/if the Marriage is restored therein) for/like/as those (Benefits) in favor of them, in righteous manner (=i.e. because those Women in this case of Pregnancy above will be Responsible to suckle their new-born child, for two full years, if the Fathers (and they themselves mutually) absolutely wish to do so therein, as we will clearly witness it in the clarifying Verses below ="75/17-19&quot. But for the Men (will come Responsibility) in favor of them (=i.e. those Women above) one more "Degree" (="Darajatun" i.e. because those Men in this case will also be Responsible to provide for their "new-born child," in addition to their beloved Wife therein, as we will clearly witness it in the clarifying Verses below ="75/17-19&quot. For AL-LAH is Mighty, Wise. V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V 233- And the Mothers will suckle their children for two full years, for the one (=i.e. Father) who may absolutely wish to complete the suckling. And upon the Father for whom the child is born (is a Responsibility) to provide their (=i.e. Wifes&#039 all (extra) provisions and clothing (therein), in righteous manner (=i.e. thus in addition to legal/lawful Dowry payment Fareedatan that should be given by the Husband, ideally, in the beginning of the Marriage (=2/237), and then also legal/lawful Regular payment Saduqatan that should be --on a daily, or weekly, or monthly basis-- given by the Husband again throughout the Marriage (=4/4), the Husband now should also make an extra effort to take good/best care of their "new-born child" therein above)-- in righteous manner. (But) a soul cannot be burdened except in accordance with its --physical/mental/financial-- capacity. (So), no Mother shall be harmed because of her child, nor shall a Father (be harmed) because of his child. And --(if the Father dies)-- upon the Guardian is the same (Responsibilities) above. But if both-of-them (=i.e. Wife and Husband) wish to wean (their new-born child therein earlier), out of mutual-agreement between them and good-counsel, then there is no sin upon two-of-them. And (here also in this case now) if you wish to hire nursing mothers for your children, then there is no sin upon you when/if you rightfully deliver (to those nursing mothers) what you should rightfully pay (to them), in righteous manner. And (always) be Conscious of AL-LAH, and know that AL-LAH is Seer of what you do. QURAN TESTAMENT 2/228 = 2/233 Remain in peace/salaam. Whatever I have said that may be perfectly Correct and Right is from AL-LAH, and whatever I have said that may be essentially or partially mistaken or wrong may only be from my own self (shortcomings forgetfulness, hastiness, etc.) (=34/50)

    Salaam/Peace to All, here we shall clearly see this most Essential and important Verse (=18/83), in this respect, now here thus =============== 83- And they ask you about the "Possessor of The-Two-Horns, or The-Two-Tribes" (="Dhee Al-Qarnain"), Say I will recite to you a "Reminder-Message" (=i.e. "Dhikran&quot of/about him. *Because that this specific Person (="Dhee Al-Qarnain") has already clearly been mentioned and foretold in TORAH before this, those who would specifically ask about him above now must be those who are already well-aware of these Verses therein, in the first place V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V And of/about Joseph, he (=i.e. prophet Moses therein prophesied and) said 13- Blessed by the LORD be his land, with the choicest gifts of heaven above, and of the deep that crouches beneath, 14- with the choicest fruits of the sun, and the rich yield of the months, 15- with the finest produce of the ancient mountains, and the abundance of the everlasting hills, 16- with the best gifts of the Earth and its fullness, and the Favor of HIM Who (=i.e. Whose Power & Majesty) dwells in the Bush. (*When HE directly talked to Moses, exclusively and only with HIS Voice, from within that blessed "Bush" therein =Quran Testament 27/8-9 & 28/30) May these rest on the head of Joseph, on the pate of him who is Prince among his brothers. (*Because he is specifically chosen by AL-LAH as the Prince/Leader among his brothers, for this specific Reasons, therein =Quran Testament 12/4-6, 89-92, 100-101) 17- A firstborn bull?he has majesty, and his "Two-Horns" are (like) the Horns of a wild-Ox; with them he shall gore the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the Earth; (*We will clearly see that this "Possessor of The-Two-Horns, or The-Two-Tribes" (="Dhee Al-Qarnain") will thus go to the ends of the Earth and may also rightfully discipline some barbaric peoples therein =Quran Testament 18/86-87-88, 90) they (=i.e. those "Two-Horns") will be (established upon) the ten-thousands of (the "Tribe" of) "Ephraim," and the thousands of (the "Tribe" of) "Manasseh." TORAH, Deut. 33/13-17 So the rest of this most Essential and important "Reminder-Message" (=i.e. "Dhikran") of/about this long awaited and anticipated "Possessor of The-Two-Horns, or The-Two-Tribes" (="Dhee Al-Qarnain"), --(who will be sent by AL-LAH perhaps towards the very end of this Last Day (=Millennium "2001 ......... 3000&quot, and after he will have completed his Mission and taken to Heaven by AL-LAH therein (=18/94-9, the End of the World will come, in a little while, thereafter (=18/99.....)-- as strongly and unmistakably indicated in the above Verses (=18/83 .........) now it can clearly be seen here =QURAN TESTAMENT, Chapter No. 18, Verse No. 84 ..................... 99 http//www.19covenant19.com/mucize_detay_id165.html Because that this specific pronoun (=huwa, hu = he, his) has been used in QURAN TESTAMENT to specifically refer to "men-males" or/and "women-females," equally, here (=4/124 & 16/97 & .......), and then (=huwa = he) has also been used to specifically refer even exclusively to any "daughter/female," here (=43/17-1, so there is a great possibility that this long awaited and anticipated "Possessor of The-Two-Horns, or The-Two-Tribes" (="Dhee Al-Qarnain") clearly foretold in these Verses above (=18/83-99) may be a Woman-Female "Messenger/Leader" (=i.e. specifically a descendant of "Prophet Joseph" (Peace be upon Him) as clearly foretold in QURAN and TORAH above) who will be sent and fully supported by AL-LAH at the predicted Time therein above. *Yes, AL-LAH may have already sent many Woman-Female "Messengers" in the past, and HE can do so, when/if HE wills, also in the Future at the predicted Time therein above. Please, clearly see it in QURAN TESTAMENT Chapter No. 16, Verse No. 43 now again here http//www.19covenant19.com/mucize_detay_id165.html So, finally, we can see the clear relation between "Prophet Joseph" (Peace be upon Him) and his long awaited and anticipated Descendant, i.e. "Possessor of The-Two-Horns, or The-Two-Tribes" (="Dhee Al-Qarnain") above, in such a most specific and exclusive --perfectly parallel-- manner here =============== 21- And thus, We "established Joseph" in the Land/Earth --(in the past), and that We might teach him the interpretation of the narrations. V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V 84- Certainly, We "established him" (=i.e. "Possessor of The-Two-Horns, or The-Two-Tribes" (="Dhee Al-Qarnain") in the Land/Earth --(in the future, before the End of the World therein 18/98-99......) and We gave him the means of all things. QURAN TESTAMENT 12/21 = 18/84 Remain in peace/salaam. Whatever I have said that may be perfectly Correct and Right is from AL-LAH, and whatever I have said that may be essentially or partially mistaken or wrong may only be from my own self (shortcomings) (=34/50)
  • Story of Ibrahim a.s. in surah 21 and 37

    My English is poor and I don't know if I can tell all I have about these ayets, so I'll shorten my story and I'll leave it to you to read ayets and to think about them. Take this only as a hint... Word Et-Temasil from 2152 is understood as "idols, pictures...", but none of these is its meaning. This word, as you probably know is used only once in ayets about Suleyman a.s. This word, with several more in 3413, is jinn "types". People (males) of Lut a.s. were doing sin with other males and they wanted to do sin with angels sent to punish them. Similarly, people (males) of Ibrahim a.s. were doing sin with female jinn of Et-Temasil. When Ibrahim a.s. broke their idols (esnam) they wanted to punish him, and they wanted to make him do same sin as they did. So, they ordered "harriquhu", which is not "burn him!", it's "cause (make) him burn", which meant to them to force him to make sin with female jinn, which were in jeheem. Don't forget that jinn are made of fire. Ibrahim a.s. asked for protection from Allah swt, and he knew that he can get bad progeny and asked for salih instead. So, Allah ordered to "fire" ("been from fire&quot to cold itself and to protect Ibrahim a.s. After that we have, in both surahs, about his pure progeny. I hope this can cause somebody to think about these ayets and to discard all stories which are not real (haqq). Allah swt knows best. Selam to ones who are following Ibrahim's a.s. path, and he was hanifa.

    Peace All, I would like some input on the difference in meaning between these two prepositions. "Bi" tends to be translated as 'in' or 'with'. "Ma'a" is usually translated as 'with'. Imraan

    Salaam/Peace to All, here we shall reflect on these most essential and important Verses with regard to "Marriage," and try to clearly understand the Perfect Commandments and Recommendations of our Lord AL-LAH unto all of us, in this respect, now here thus =============== 1- O people, be Conscious of your LORD Who has created you as single "body/soul" (="nafsin" wahidatin = i.e. "Male-Kind," for example our honorable ancestor "Adam" in this respect, first of all, therein), and HE created from it (=i.e. from exactly the similar/same genetic material, equally "46 chromosomes" = "46 chromosomes&quot-- its mate (="zawjaha" = i.e. "Female-Kind," for example our honorable ancestor "Eve" in this respect, first of all, therein), and HE sent forth from two-of-them (=i.e. "Male-Kind" & "Female-Kind" in that first modern Human population wherein "Adam" and "Eve" were thus chosen Leaders therein =2/30-3-- many men and women; so, (always) be Conscious of AL-LAH in Whose (Name) you request (your needs/promises/rights) from one another, and (regard) the relatives. Certainly, AL-LAH is Watcher over you. 2- And give the orphans their possessions, and do not substitute the "bad" (=i.e. "illicit earnings/possessions&quot for the "good" (=i.e. "lawful earnings/possessions&quot, and so do not consume their possessions --(by greedily combining/adding them)-- into your possessions; for truly this would be a gross injustice/sin! 3- But when/if you fear that you cannot perfectly uphold justice for (all) the orphans (by taking good care of all of them in your Society-Community-Nation), then you should marry off (=faankihoo) those who (look) morally-clean to you of the "women" (=i.e. specifically the "mothers" of those orphans above) ="two" (to "two" good "single" man) and/or "three" (to "three" good "single" man) and/or "four" (to "four" good "single" man). But if you fear that you cannot achieve-"equity" (=i.e. you cannot succeed in finding perfectly "equitable" matches for/in each case above) then (you may try to "marry off" at least) "one" --such "widow" with her orphan/s above-- (to "one" good "single" man), or/and (this Law will apply exactly the same also with regard to) those whom your right-hands accommodated (=i.e. those "young girls/daughters" protected and sheltered by Believing --(financially middle or low income)-- parents or stepparents here =4/25) This is best that you do not commit injustice and suffer hardship (as/in whole Society-Community-Nation). *In the above Verse when/if this specific verb "marry off" (=fa-ankihoo) is thus rightfully read and understood in exact similar/same manner as here "marry off" (=wa-ankihoo) (=24/32), then we can clearly see that our Lord AL-LAH recommends unto all truthful Believers (as a good/best Deed on our part, as a whole Society-Community-Nation) to lawfully "marry off" (=fa-ankihoo) all such "widows" with their orphans, and then also all such "young girls/daughters" above, especially who are morally-clean (=tayyibat) among them, first of all, in this Rightful manner above (=4/3), and then again to lawfully "marry off" (=wa-ankihoo) all "singles", and also all "working-men and working-women" (in their business or in their homes as their lawful employees), especially who are morally-upright (=salihaat) among them, first of all, again, in this Rightful manner here (=24/32), in such a perfectly parallel and absolutely Coherent/Consistent manner here (4/3 = 24/32). 4- And give the "women" (=i.e. specifically the "mothers" of those orphans above here again, first of all) their "dues" (="saduqatihinna" i.e. --daily, weekly or monthly-- payment (other than the "dowry-payment" (="fareedatan&quot here 4/24 = 2/236-237) that should be given regularly to them by their husbands therein)-- willingly, but if they remit (occasionally) any of it to you of their own will, then you may take it thankfully, humbly. QURAN TESTAMENT 4/1-2-3-4 So, due to the Fact that our Lord AL-LAH thus makes it unmistakably Clear to us that HE has originally/ideally/perfectly created one "Eve" for one "Adam" or/and one "Adam" for one "Eve" in the very first Verse of this most specific Chapter above (=4/1), henceforth, I believe we should always absolutely be mindful of this "Perfect Decree" of our Lord AL-LAH above, in the very first place, and thereby should clearly understand that A wholly blessed and lawful "Marriage" is only between "a (one) Man" and "a (one) Woman", from the very beginning. QURAN TESTAMENT 30/21 = 4/1, 2-3-4 Remain in peace/salaam.

    Salaam/Peace to all brothers and sisters, here we shall reflect on this specific term "nutfatan" (="a tiny-drop&quot and try to clearly understand what it actually refers to throughout the whole QURAN TESTAMENT, now here thus =============== 45- And HE is the ONE Who has created the pair the "male" and the "female." 46- From a "tiny-drop" (="nutfatin" "egg cell" of a woman) when it is "impregnated-by-semen" (=in Arabic idha "tumnaa&quot. QURAN TESTAMENT 53/45-46 In the above Verse, we may clearly see that this "nutfatin" (="tiny-drop&quot thus perfectly refers to the "egg cell" of a woman, even just before and also at the very moment when it is impregnated by a "sperm cell" of a man (=idha "tumnaa&quot therein, and it is a Scientifically proven Fact now that only after an "egg cell" of a woman has been impregnated by a "sperm cell" of a man therein, it will be perfectly clear then whether the baby will be a "male" or a "female" because --(if the "sperm cell" of the father has a "Y" chromosome in it, it will be a baby "boy," and if the "sperm cell" of the father has a "X" chromosome in it, it will be a baby "girl.&quot-- So also in this specific respect above, it is absolutely Awesome that our Lord AL-LAH strongly emphasizes the Fact that HE has created the "male" or the "female" at the very moment and after when the "egg cell" of a woman is already impregnated by a "sperm cell" of a man (=idha "tumnaa&quot therein above (=53/45-46), from the very beginning! =============== 36- Does the human think that he would be left irresponsible/unaccountable? 37- Was he not a "tiny-drop" (="nutfatin&quot as/of an ejected semen (=maniyyin "yumnaa&quot? *Please, first of all, absolutely note that in the previous Verses above it was (in Arabic Text of QURAN) specifically feminine form "tumnaa" and here in the above Verses it is (in Arabic Text of QURAN) specifically masculine form "yumnaa" QURAN TESTAMENT 75/36-37 So, in the above Verse, we may clearly see that this "nutfatin" (="tiny-drop&quot thus perfectly refers to the "sperm cell" of a man therein. So thus we can clearly see that this specific term "nutfatin" (="tiny-drop&quot thus perfectly refers to the "egg cell" of a woman in this specific context above (=53/46) and thus perfectly refers to the "sperm cell" of a man in this specific context above (=75/37). And it is perfectly Correct for/in both cases above because when/if we would look at the "egg cell" of a woman or/and the "sperm cell" of a man under microscope both of them are perfectly "tiny-drops" (="nutfatin&quot in our eyes. =============== 2- Certainly, We have created the human from a "tiny-drop" that is "intermingled/compound" (="nutfatin amshaaj&quot in order to test him/her. ........ QURAN TESTAMENT 76/2 Thus we may clearly see that even after the "egg cell" of a woman has been impregnated by the "sperm cell" of a man (=idha "tumnaa&quot therein above (=53/46), it is still perfectly called a "tiny-drop" (="nutfatin&quot above, but it is thus a "tiny-drop" that is specifically "intermingled/compound" (="nutfatin amshaaj&quot therein now. QURAN TESTAMENT 53/46 = 76/2 So in all other occurrences --(i.e. in total "9" occurrences other than those most specific "3" occurrences we have exclusively seen above)-- I strongly believe that this specific term "tiny-drop" (="nutfatin&quot throughout the whole QURAN TESTAMENT thereby thus clearly refers to =============== 5- ....... We have created you from dust (=i.e. all of those "elements" present therein in the earth crust), then from a "tiny-drop" (="nutfatin" "egg cell" of a woman) before or/and also after it is "impregnated-by-semen" (=idha "tumnaa&quot therein above)--- then from a hanging-thing (=embryo), then from a fetus ......... QURAN TESTAMENT 22/5 Because the "egg cell" of a woman has thus specifically been referred to as a "tiny-drop" (="nutfatin&quot even before it is impregnated by the "sperm cell" of a man therein (=53/46), and then also after it is impregnated by the "sperm cell" of a man therein (=76/2), --(because the "egg cell" of a woman is relatively much bigger than the "sperm cell" of a man that even after that tiny "sperm cell" is --literally-- consumed by that giant "egg cell" therein but it is now still essentially a same/similar "tiny-drop" (="nutfatin&quot in our eyes, but just a tiny bit bigger now therein.)-- So, our Lord AL-LAH may have thus granted unto HIS Women Servants a profound Favor over HIS Men Servants in this specific respect here (3/36 = 4/32), that essentially Women are thus in dominant position (=i.e. giant "egg cell" and its highly complex functioning before and after pregnancy X tiny "sperm cell" and its relatively much less complex functioning before and after impregnation) with regard to bringing a new "Human" into this world and also raising and educating him/her in the best manner thereafter, thus beginning from within the womb therein (=46/15), in the first place. And perhaps for this reason, our Lord AL-LAH indicates unto all of HIS truthful Servants to respect always their Mother (first) and Father (thereafter), in this specific respect, in QURAN TESTAMENT. (=16/78 & 46/15 & 53/32 & ......) And perhaps in this specific respect again, Prophet Aaron (Peace be upon Him) calls his brother Prophet Moses (Peace be upon Him) always as the "Son of his Mother," in the first place (=7/150 & 20/94). Remain in peace/salaam.

    Salaam/Peace to all brothers and sisters, here we shall see the Great Wisdom of our Lord AL-LAH, in this most specific respect here (=71/13-14), in HIS "Evolutionary Creation Miracle" of our whole universe and all living-beings therein, now here thus =============== 30- Have those who rejected not seen that the heavens and the earth were "one-mass" (="ratqan") which We split apart (=i.e. in the very beginning, at the time of "Big Bang" therein and the following "Evolutionary Creation Miracle" of our whole Universe that has started therein and progressed in about 13.7 billion years till now), and that We have made from the water all things (that are) alive (=i.e. in the very beginning again, at the time of the formation of our "Planet Earth" therein and the following "Evolutionary Creation Miracle" of all living-beings that has started therein and progressed in about 4.5 billion years till now). So, will they (still) not believe? 13- What is the matter with you that you (still) fail to comprehend the Majesty of AL-LAH? 14- For/though HE has created "you" (=i.e. all of "us," all "living-beings" here 6/3 in "stages" (=i.e. through such a wonderful "Evolutionary Creation Miracle" starting from the least complex organisms to the most complex organisms --all of which are described essentially as beautiful "hasan" here 32/7--- and finally Humans --who is described thereafter aptly as most-beautiful "ahsan" here 95/4 & 76/1) 15- (And then also) did you not see how AL-LAH has created seven heavens in "layers" (=i.e. through such a wonderful "Evolutionary Creation Miracle" therein again and for example, starting from the least complex elements (like "Hydrogen" and "Helium&quot evolving to the most complex elements (like "Iron&quot therein, from the very beginning. QURAN TESTAMENT 21/30 = 71/13-14-15 So due to this wonderful "Evolutionary Creation Miracle" of our whole universe (with all of those galaxies, stars and all of those "elements" created in evolutionary layers therein) and also all living-beings created in evolutionary stages therein, which is perfectly emphasized by our Lord AL-LAH in these above Verses in such a perfectly parallel manner therein above (21/30 = 71/13-14-15), thereby, the "Majesty" of our Lord AL-LAH that we should absolutely comprehend above (=71/13) must be this Fact, in this most specific respect here, first of all Only our Lord AL-LAH Himself is absolutely beyond and above all kinds of "evolution" (=i.e. HE never changes, HE is always absolutely The Same and The Perfect, The One and Only GOD, from the Eternity to the Eternity), but everything and everyone created by AL-LAH is absolutely open to "evolution" (=i.e. they may change, by HIS Commandment, even HIS Angel Servants may evolve as/into "two" or "three" or "four" winged creatures, by HIS Commandment therein (=35/1), and in the same manner, HIS Human Servants have evolved, in successive generations, and may thus evolve --always in the direction and manner HE controls-- therein again (=35/15-17), because HE has Not created Angels or Humans to be HIS "Daughters" or to be HIS "Sons," in HIS Own Image, --(as a human mother who would have "daughters" who, in essence, always absolutely look like her, in her own image, or as a human father who would have "sons" who, in essence, always absolutely look like him, in his own image)-- to be "Partners" or to be a "Piece/Portion/Share/Part" of HIM, as they have falsely claimed and ascribed to HIM (=i.e. by falsely and blasphemously saying AL-LAH has begotten Angels as HIS "Daughters," and thus created them in HIS Own Image, or/and AL-LAH has begotten Humans as HIS "Sons," and thus created them in HIS Own Image, here =43/15-19 & 5/18, because the Absolute Truth according to QURAN TESTAMENT is HE has created Angels and Humans only to be HIS honorable "Servants" who should absolutely believe and wholeheartedly acknowledge the Fact that our Lord AL-LAH has no "Partner" (="Shareek&quot, and HE has created no one as a "Piece/Portion/Share/Part" (="Juzan&quot or a "Daughter" or "Son" of HIM, never, (=6/163 & 43/15 & 21/26-29) and so, nothing and no one (which is --potentially or/and actually-- inevitably under "evolutionary path" by HIS Commandment here =71/13-15) can never be likened to HIM (Who HIMSELF is absolutely above and beyond all "evolutionary paths," Who HIMSELF never changes, and is always absolutely The Same and The Perfect, The One and Only GOD, from the Eternity to the Eternity. =QURAN TESTAMENT 71/13-14 = 42/11 & 112/1-4 Remain in peace/salaam.

    Salaam/Peace to all brothers and sisters, here we will clearly see the Reason why it is always pronoun "he" (="huwa") specifically used for/in all such situations here throughout the whole QURAN TESTAMENT. =============== 97- Whoever works for a Righteous-Deed, whether "male" or "female," and "he" (="huwa" = refers to that "male" or/and "female" equally here) is a believer, We will give "him" (="hu" refers to that "male" or/and "female" equally here again) a good life and We will reward "them" (="hum" refers to all of those "males" or/and "females" equally here again) their dues with the best of what they are working for. QURAN TESTAMENT 16/97 So we can clearly and unmistakably see the Fact that these essentially masculine pronouns in Arabic above "he" (="huwa") and then "them" (="hum") have thus specifically been used to refer to that "male" or/and "female" equally above and also throughout the whole QURAN TESTAMENT as well. But these essentially feminine pronouns in Arabic "she" (="hiya") and then "them" (="hunna") have always been used exclusively and only to refer to "females" --(and never to "males&quot-- throughout the whole QURAN TESTAMENT. And therefore, we can also clearly and unmistakably understand the Reason now why it is always referred to our Lord AL-LAH as "He" (="Huwa") throughout the whole QURAN TESTAMENT. Because had it ever been referred to our Lord AL-LAH as "She" (="Hiya") then --(from grammatic/linguistic standpoint)-- we would have absolutely had to conclude that our Lord AL-LAH must exclusively and only be a "woman/female," in the first place, but because that it is always referred to our Lord AL-LAH as "He" (="Huwa") we can thus legitimately, clearly and unmistakably see the Fact that our Lord AL-LAH is neither a "man/male" nor a "woman/female," (42/11 = 112/1-4), first of all, but HE is the most Wise and perfect Creator of all "men/males" and "women/females," equally, from the very beginning. =QURAN TESTAMENT 16/97 & 33/35 & ......... Remain in peace/salaam.

    What is your understanding of this Qur'anic word (Sultan)? Can you use your own understand of it in all Qur'anic ayats where it was used? Mostly, people understand it as "authority", "might", "power", "energy"... but is it (are they) its meaning? Are there the other words for all of these translations, why would Allah swt use other (new) word? Allah's bless and selam.

    With the name of Allah, Er-Rahman, Er-Rahim. I seek a refuge with Allah from Shaytan, Expelled. I'll offer Saheeh International translation just as a wrong understanding, but if you check all of English translations (or I believe any other) you'll see what and why they translated very bad Indeed, we offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and they declined to bear it and feared it; but man bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant." Translation until the word "insan" (hu-man) is more-less correct, but what comes after is changing the whole ayat and is giving us wrong picture about what Allah swt told us. Reading tafsirs is even worse then reading translation of this ayat. Here's what we can read in Tafsir al-Jalaleyn, for example Indeed We offered the Trust ? the obligation to prayer and other matters which when performed result in reward and when neglected result in punishment ? to the heavens and the earth and the mountains and created in them the power of comprehension and speech at the time of that offer but they refused to bear it and were apprehensive of it; but man Adam undertook it when it was offered to him. Truly he is a wrongdoer to his own soul because of what he undertook ignorant of the responsibility that comes with it ?" There're many things we can think about and, with Allah's Help and 'izn, get (near to) the knowledge. But, no matter if we read translation or tafsirs we can conclude that Allah swt done something bad and unjust to "el-insan". I'll try to explain my understanding of this from the quoted ayat, so I'll focus on its end and will try to connect it with the next ayat, with His Help. We can understand that something which is called "El-'Emanet" was offered to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains. They rejected to bear it and feared it. For now we should understand that it's something "heavy" to bear and it's something of which the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains feared. Now, we'll see what happened with "insan". "Insan" bear it (obviously without fear). Was it Adem a.s. as Mahalli and Suyuti said in their Tafsir El-Jalaleyn? Or it was the humanity, which is called "El-Insan" here? Or it was one man, but not Adem a.s.? But, let's continue with reading... After this are the horrible words if we don't think, it was said he (el-insan) KANE dhaloom and jehool. If we accept dhaloom and jehool as adjectives, we'll get closer to the knowledge of this part of the ayat. The only problem is the verb KANE. If we wrongly understand it as the verb "to be" (or "was" in this case) we'll understand that the man (el-insan) was unjust and ignorant and that's why he bear what the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains didn't. If this was the case and we know that Allah swt Knows all, we could say/think that Allah swt was unjust to el-insan and gave him to bear what he couldn't, but since he was unjust and ignorant he accepted it. But, we should know that Allah swt Loves us, at least ones who're asking for forgiveness from Him. Then, what happened here? If we read about Adem a.s. (for example 231) we will see that Allah swt gave the knowledge to him about all things. Was Adem a.s. jahil? No, not at all. We know that he and his wife said that they done dhulm to themselves when they ate from the tree, even it is very hard to us to understand what they done is dhulm, but they done dhulm. Besides that, it's not known that Adem a.s. done any dhulm. So, was he dhalim? No, because Allah swt forgave him that (as said in 237, "tabe&quot. We can conclude that Adem a.s. is not "el-insan" from this ayat, as authors of El-Jalaleyn and many others said. Let's see if this is for the whole humanity... It can't be, because, for example, there're some of progeny of Ibrahim a.s. who are not dhalimoon and there're/were many people who're/were not dhalimoon and they're/were not jahiloon. So, this can't be for the humanity. Was it any other individual? Somebody who was jahil and dhalim same time? But, wait. Allah swt offered this El-'Emanet to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains... why would He choose some worst or very bad induvidual of all humans to trick him? No, it's not possible at all, but something's wrong. What is wrong is our understanding of the verb KANE. It doesn't and it can't mean "to be" (was). What KANE means is "to posses possibility do to something". So, El-Insan is whole humanity and we have possibility to be dhalimoon and jahiloon, but this makes us above the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains. These "negative" (?) possible qualities are better then all qualities of the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains. Ones without these qualities couldn't accept El-'Emanet. The Heavens, the Earth and the Mountains cannot make mistakes, cannot do sin, we can, all of us. Shi'as are wrong, there's no ma'soom amongs humans, we all can make wrong deed. If we read next ayat we can know more about us - there are males and females, how beautiful; and there're 3 groups of us, of both males and females munafiqoon, mushrikoon and mu'minoon. We can also read KANE in the last ayat of this surah. Does it mean "to be" (was)? No, Allah swt has possibility for these qualities, but He won't be ghafur-ur-rahim, except for believers (male and female). I hope this will help with His 'izn to others to think about one of the most frequent verbs used in the Qur'an. Understand it as "to be" can lead to very bad conclusions, may Allah swt protects us of falsehood and dhulumat. I won't comment on the meaning of El-'Emanet here, nor other words as "dhulm", but you can enjoy and relax in thinking about them and all other words Allah swt chosen for us to know. There's nothing bad in doing sins, as long as we get the knowledge about them, ask for forgiveness and change ourselves with His Help. Allah swt Loves Mutahheroon. I pray to him to makes us of them. Allah's bless and selam.

It is like abundant rain (that produces) "plants" which appear pleasing to the rejecters. But then they dry-up and you see them turned pale, and (ultimately) they turn into "useless hay." And in the Hereafter there is formidable Retribution (for those who would act in such a hostile, ignorant and arrogant way, here 22/72 & 85/4-10), and Forgiveness from AL-LAH and Acceptance (for those who would act in such a peaceful, knowledgeable and humble way, here 25/68-71, 72-76). Because this worldly life is nothing but a deceiving enjoyment! 68- And for whoever We grant a long life, We do weaken him/her in body --(in his/her old age).

    After Balfour declation 1917. (when Israel was born), it seems that only one man of all islamic scholars reacted. It was Pakistani, Allema Iqbal. He wrote a very short poem in Urdu and translation I've found (maybe somebody can offer better translation) is "Gog and Magog all have been released The Muslim eye will see the meaning of Yansilun" I've found this very very interesting. This word (verb) "yansilun" is used only twice in the Qur'an 2196 and 3651. Noun "nasl" from the same root was used twice also, in 02205 and 3208. What is your knowledge or opinion about this verb and noun? What you think about this Iqbal's poem? Allah's bless and peace.

    Hey everyone, So I got a few questions about Oaths I wants to ask. When reading verse 589, I noticed says in the translation on this site "...but He will hold you for what oaths you have made binding; its cancellation shall be..." some other translations I see here use the word "expiation" instead of cancellation as seen here "...but He will take you to task for the oaths which ye swear in earnest. The expiation thereof is..." Which is it and why as they give different meanings to it here. For the part that says " its cancellation shall be the feeding of ten poor from the average of what you feed your family" what does it mean by average of what you feed your family? And what if I don't have a family? how would I know how much to feed them? I live with my mother and my mother is the one who buys the food. Do I base it on how much I would buy for someone in my family if I was buying them food? If the translation is indeed "cancellation", what does one do then if they break an oath? simply ask for forgiveness? Many many years ago, I made a oath saying that something along the lines of "If I did this thing, I will go to hell". Thinking now, it was silly to make that as I can't control my fate of going to heaven or hell, only God can choose which I go to. I think I may have broken it, but would such an oath even count? and if so, would I have to go about cancelling it as 589 says? or do simply ask for forgiveness. Thank you, "God will not hold you for your casual oaths, but He will hold you for what oaths you have made binding; its cancellation shall be the feeding of ten poor from the average of what you feed your family, or that you clothe them, or that you free a slave; whoever cannot find such shall fast for three days; this is a cancellation for making your oaths when you swear. And be careful from making oaths. It is such that God clarifies for you His revelations that you may be thankful." 589

    In academic circles, the second important aspect for evaluation of validity and reliability of a book are questions about the publisher-issuer-relater-person relaying the Book verbally and in writing. Relevant questions are firstly, whether he is well known; secondly, has he 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 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'aan; 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 Cont iii) Reliability and license of the original "publisher" of the Book
