(ie. who are the Criminals?) What's wrong with your logic? On what basis do you judge? https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=inU8a0dgn1s Or do you have a Book (of Forced Justice) which you study, so that you may have anything in it you choose? Or do you have oaths which bind Us, extending to the Day of Rising, that you will have whatever (unnatural and fallacies) you decide? Ask them which of them stands as guarantor for that!? Or do they have Divine (natural) partners? Then let them produce their (natural) partners if they are telling the truth (natural)! On the Day when legs are bared and they are called on to prostrate, they will not be able to do so. (6835-42)

    This is a question I am trying to answer too and I made my own list but I can't claim it is 100% true Nuh - he is the first nabi and rasul Hud - nabi Saleh - nabi Ibrahim - nabi and rasul - received scripture Lot - nabi Ishmael - nabi and rasul Ishak - nabi Yaqub - nabi Yusuf - nabi Zechariah - nabi Musa / Zulqarnain - nabi and rasul, received Taurat and Al Kitaab Harun - nabi Yahya - nabi Isa bin Maryam - nabi and rasul, received Injeel Ahmad - I do not think Ahmad and Muhammad are same person since I do not identity Isa as Jesus - I think Ahmad was the prophet who proclaimed Talut as King before David? Davud - nabi and rasul, received Zabur Sulaiman - nabi Alyasa & Ilyas - enbiya Job - nabi Jonah - nabi Muhammad - nabi and rasul, received Al Qur'an Shuaib Idris Zulkifl - I don't know when these three enbiya lived so I can't place them on the list I am thinking they lived post Abraham and pre Moses though? Loqman - not a nabi or rasul Uzair - Israel? Since Jews consider Israel as son of God instead of Ezra but Ezra(Esdras) could be Idris?

    The same way you would know when you go to a brothel or to any person of the trade. That does not seem to bother Iblees worshipper does it? I will not be answering any of those ever so clever and witty questions, particularly since knowing whose children they are, other than by scientific or technological means is and always has been a question of trust and nothing else. So if you trust, it does not matter how many consorts there are, unless they are absolutely mentally incpacitated. On the other hand something always slips the ever so clever and witty mind of iblees worshippers retorts and it is that in fact you can marry a woman over fifty or fifty five and you will not have that problem. Or what are you sugesting when there is exccess of males and shortage of women? having a number of men castrated or keeping them chaste even if they have as much drive as anybody else or else have them do what they would do if they were in a poligamous marriage but hiding it and making it as if it was not hapenning. That also in fact happens with monogamy, you know. So how do you know which are your children? You never know except by adn and that kind of thing in s much as it may be reliable. I will not answer to any more of this. It is too much of a dej� vu, actually utterly boring and repetitive, and there are really nice men who are not iblees worshipers for me to waste my time with the nonsense an self-dilusion of pitiful males lacking self assurance and wanting to be cajoled as if they were five year olds. Salaam I don't go to a brothel .. and I don't know how you decide whose children it is.. so how you decide? how to clearly identify the father for each of her children? Divorced women should wait by themselves for three menstrual cycles; and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they have iman in Allah and the Last Day. (222 further, are this feminine polygamy woman suppose to get pregnant continuously by her husbands during their life? how many times can she get pregnant; continuously, by her four husbands? is she built for that? how will she breastfeed? https//i.pinimg.com/originals/e5/37/aa/e537aa2958cde5f45ec1204ceeebf624.jpg how will she take care of her husbands and children? is that justice? laugh

    As-salamu alaykum! I have been trying to understand the implications of 923 in regards to relationships with non-Muslims. I thought it was okay to be friends as long as they don?t hurt or fight Muslims based on 608 and 609. But 923 seems to forbid close relationships with non-Muslim family just based on their disbelief? I had seen someone mention that 608 and 608 does not include all non-Muslims, which has confused me even more. Could this be true? Pickthall translations O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers. (923) Allah forbiddeth you not those who warred not against you on account of religion and drove you not out from your homes, that ye should show them kindness and deal justly with them. Lo! Allah loveth the just dealers. (608 ) Allah forbiddeth you only those who warred against you on account of religion and have driven you out from your homes and helped to drive you out, that ye make friends of them. Whosoever maketh friends of them - (All) such are wrong-doers. (609) O those/you who proclaim to have accepted-become believers, listen; You should not hold your fathers and brothers as your guardians, protectors, managers if they loved the disbelief over the belief; And if someone of you people holds them as patron, allies Thereby, such people are truly the evil-doers-distorter-creators of imbalances-disorders-over stepping. O those/you who proclaim to have accepted-become believers, listen; You people should not purposely adopt My enemies and your enemies as your guardians/protectors/ godfathers/ managers/allies? Placing before them gestures of love and compassion? While they had publicly refused to accept/believe in that which has since come to you from the Infallible Discourse, they forcing the drive out of the Messenger and you people? That you believe in Allah the Exalted, the Sustainer Lord of you people; If you people have come out for fighting/striving in My Path/Cause and for seeking My Approval and Appreciation, Holding secret the feel of love and compassion towards them; And I fully know that which you concealed and that which you openly stated. And whoever will do that from amongst you? Thereby he has certainly lost the aright path.

    It is a meaningless sentence. Master means a man in charge of an organization or group. It is not the subject of this post but i quote the definition from Muhammad ASAD that i found good " The Arabic expression rabb - rendered by me as "Sustainer" - embraces a wide complex of meanings not easily expressed by a single term in another language. It comprises the ideas of having a just claim to the possession of anything and, consequently, authority over it, as well as of rearing, sustaining and fostering anything from its Inception to its final completion. Thus, the head of a family is called rabb ad-dar ("master of the house&quot because he has authority over it and is responsible for its maintenance; similarly, his wife is called rabbat ad-dar ("mistress of the house&quot. " => For me Master in English is the word which is closest to the Arabic meaning. (Cf. 2 qualities of Rabb in surah 55.) A bonus by means of letters meaning Ra-Ba-Ba RA = Repetition Ba = House, block with an idea of protection => Repetition of protection, to care and take care, responsible of evolution of something, physical as spiritualy (From the root R-B-B you have also the idea of educator, education, farming..) So finally another good translation could be "Responsible of evolution"...

    It seems that few works exists in English. I tried to find English documents for you in an another topic. https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9610589.0 You will find a document in English which answer your question (first link of this topic) Raymond Farrin, as Michel Cuypers said, has made "a step" and it is a good effort and i bought his book. But too general...and i need more details about his methodology to know how he extracted parts from surah (That's why i said i think he didn't use principles of Semitic Rhetoric) . For example, M. Cuypers produced 1 big book for just 1 surah. Therefore this must be continued.. I have tried here by SMALL exemples and using colours (surah Baqarah is so big for just one topic!) to show its utility to have a better comprehension of the Quran and avoided "own interpretation". Had Cuypers applied little mind on the point of long held literary tradition of linear coherence in non-fiction discourses, instead of rejecting it straightaway and studied the inbuilt information as to how the text of Qur'an is composed, he may have seen par excellence coherence therein. Those who tried earlier also did not see the inbuilt keys provided in Qur'an about its structuring and composition. Regarding interpretation, information is built in as to how it is interpreted. Little careful and critical reading is needed.

    Not Split. A more accurate translation is "breached/reached". In Arabic, the word "shaq" is to cut a path to something - the boy "shaq" his way home. I would say this verse was a foretelling of the 1969 moon landing which tells us that the hour is comming closer... This is the meaning of this sentence But the verb in the Ayah is Form-VII which is always INTRANSITIVE, thereby such meanings are absolutely not the possibility. http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/054.%20Al%20Qamar/54.1a.gif

    Because it is not mentioned in the sentence. So what the Kafir have denied to acknowledge? https//scontent.fkul7-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/54729912_2309153779301200_5608388455693287424_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_ht=scontent.fkul7-1.fna&oh=a02a33a3840fd387d1c5b4bbfc923dc2&oe=5D1104EA Is this your interpretation methodology? Do you believe in part of the Book and disbelieve in another part of it? (285) If yes, then why called all those translators .... here some more.. https//www.islamawakened.com/quran/2/6/ as pseudo-scholars when you yourself are against Allah? Hypocrisy? rotfl

    ?why the verb zawwaja, standing (at least apparently) for marrying, instead of the verb nakaha or ankaha is only applied in the case of the prophet and in paradise, and never for other kind of marriage? Salaam Peace Aliart and Huruf.... .. I don't know why you failed to grasp why God used szawwajja to marry in the case of prophet only to the ex wife of Zaid and to those in Janna. It's so simple and obvious.... These two marriages (Zaid ex wife for Prophet and marriages in Janna) are totally under complete willingness of God.... It was not the wish and liking of Prophet that he should marry the ex wife of Zaid... But God gave him and asked him to marry. In fact God was the one who made the partner for him... And in Janna God will make marry those in Janna... Not our option... Same with Zaid ex... In all other cases in our life and in quran people find their partners and they marry that's why God used the word Nakah (marry-verb) .. But these two exceptional cases is nothing to do with our own option but as God planned... In fact God plans everything as you aware.. But in all occasions God gives freedom to choose our wives... But here in Janna No freedom but God already chosen and marry the one God chose to us and we accept.... . Prophet case.... Prophet never thought to marry her and kind of hesitant but still God made him marry her... That's why God uses WE WILL MAKE THEM MARRY (szawwajnahum) in Janna... And for Prophet WE MARRIED HER TO YOU (szawwajnkaha).... All God's solo wish... That's why not used nakaha or ankaha.... The word WE here is key.... I don't know whether you agree but that's what I get in my understanding....

    OK, we do not exist, what is the use of heaven and hell then? Without humans to fill it, hell will not exist also brother. you're only existence is consciousness (of light upon light) ... accordingly, • consciounsness of Heaven <- is light upon light • consciounsness of Hell <- is light upon light same thing during dreams... <- is light upon light same thing in this life you called as "reality" <- is light upon light THEREFORE, Hell & Heaven exists. He who comes to his LordLaw (of Nature/Sunnatullah) as a Criminal (vs. the Sunnatullah, unnaturalist, crime of ecological disorder and the sixth mass extinctions), he will have Hell, where he will neither die in it nor live. (2074)
