    Salaam, Peace not about guarding text which anyone can change, edit, delete, etc. at any time or guarding text ?before it? is written (irrational!) rather ?the reminder? does not contain falsehood ?before it? i.e. pertaining to prior events mentioned and neither future events ?behind it? foretold to occur. Likewise not about infactuation with certain ?number/s? which are counteless. Other translations for " bayni yadayhi " before it / openly / presently Doesn't the red text contradict the blue text ? If no certainty about the preservation of the text, how to be certain about the events it mentions ? ( change, edit, delete, etc.) Likewise not about infactuation with certain ?number/s? which are counteless. 92 naturally occurring elements 2.98 * (10^4) = 29,800 meters/sec speed of the earth in orbit floating around the sun 2 * (10^5) = 200,000 meters/sec speed solar system in orbit around milky way galaxy 2130-33 do they not see the ones reject they of anna (i.e. ?an inna?/that indeed) the heavens and the land be dual sewn of so ripped we them dual and made we of from the water each thing live then so not believing and made we of in the land firm peaks that shake with them and made we of therein ravine of paths of perhaps they guided being and made we of the heaven/sky roof of safeguard of and they about signs its away turning and he the one creation of the night and the daytime and the sun and the moon each (i.e. all prior mentioned above) in vessel sailing/floating It would be more relevant to share your translation of these verses 159 Inna nahnu nazzalna alththikra wa-inna lahu lahafithoona 4141 Inna allatheena kafaroo bialththikri lamma jaahum wa-innahu lakitabun AAazeezun. 4142 La ya teehi albatilu min bayni yadayhi wala min khalfihi tanzeelun min hakeemin hameedin 5677 Innahu laqur-anun kareemun, 5678 Fee kitabin maknoonin. 7228 LiyaAAlama an qad ablaghoo risalati rabbihim waahata bima ladayhim waahsa kulla shayin AAadadan. 8521 Bal huwa qur-anun majeedun, 8522 Fee lawhin mahfoothin.

    4.15 is in the plural and there is no punishment. Amsikuhum fil buyut does not say imprison them, but shelter them in the houses, keep them safe in the houses. It looks very much like it is speaking about prostitutes who do the street. And do not throw them out till God opens for them a way to get a living, and if the do not find another way of getting a living keep them in the houses till they die. Keep them not imprison them. Salaam Amsikuhunna does not mean confine or incarcerate, never. Check every occurrence int he Qur'an. It never has that meaning, but it always has a helpful meaning. On the other hand, what kind of punishment for the same "crime" is that that goes from 0 to perpetual imprisonment? It is preposterous. The way out is that they find a way of earning their life like an employment or a marriage or somebody to help them to not need to prostitute. Why is it that when something concerns women know-alls always find a way to twist it so that it crushes women instead of helping them. Salaam

    You mean the same "meanings" for completely different words, which bear different meanings? According to your logic man is made out of the same material as . Stay happy. Salam

    Israel means God-conscious, the system of mode of conduct, among dwellers of this forum as well. It stems from Ancient root , meaning straight path, and also ads (El), which traditionally means God. Combined it means "Straight path to God". In the Quran this phrase is available as a combination of and , which is joint + familiarity, unity, because that's what AL steps from. Together it means "Enjoined Unity", which is also related to A LOT OF Quranic phrases, including the name for the Quran itself, which means "Unification". Unification of what would you ask? There was never such tribe as Children of Israel nor Exodus events, at some point in history they simply titled themselves as adepts of a particular religious movement as spiritual successors to these tribes described in the myth. Similarly as people in Arabia started calling themselves "muslims" and converting to "Islam" (also completely mistranslated words) because of the Quran. The twelve tribes is an allegory for what hangs on every wall in every house in your hallway. Those who believe it to be a nation should also support the creation myth and explain the problem of different races from it as well, since there is banu Adama (Children of Adam) too. Israel is not a tribe.

    Jafar Yes everything is in God?s plan. I don?t perceive God as angry for lack of recognition. But it?s more about human consequence. Some human perceived God as if It is a human, thus it became 'angry' when a frightening event happened to them. (ie volcanic eruption, earthquake, thunderstorm etc..) and need to be pacified by 'offerings'. Such tradition exists in nearly every part of the world. We can judge others, doesn?t necessarily mean much. It means when you start judging others with certain standards, be ready to be judged by such standards as well. Because definitely you will, it's a correlative relationship. However what are your thoughts today with the abundance and ease of information access. Do you judge them? It's a blessing.. and no I don't judge... You seem happy to associate with all kinds of groups, maybe it?s just to placate others I don?t know. What thoughts do you have of them? Other than it?s God?s plan. Short answer Love If somebody said I'm a member of all Football Club's fans club, why do you think he is as such? Does he really did that to placate others? or is it because he loves football? thus he appreciate all stakeholders of the game? And why you then didn't find it weird on somebody who is a fan of only ONE football club?

    Mazhar my brother Qur'an is a book of guidance for us to go through this life. You are trying to stretch it beyond its purpose. Qur'an commands us to reflect on everything around us as well as inside us to understand the power of the Creator and to use this knowledge to make our life better. So to understand creation there are people who are researching and making theories. Every field of study is specialized and needs hard work to acquire knowledge. Qur'an does mention facts about everything but does not give details. It is on us to acquire knowledge. Meaning of parts of ayats or individual ayats without understanding their context could be wrong. All ayats your referred have a context and are meaningful in that context. Hope I made myself point of view clear. Salaam Yes, every book is authored for an objective; what it desires its audience should become. Its objective is that people adopt http//haqeeqat.pk/02.%20Grammatical%20units/12.%20AsSeratalMustaqeema.gif The first and the most important prayer. http//haqeeqat.pk/12.AsSairatalMustaqeema.htm

    Peace Mazhar. I only see technicality, I have no issue if one does not know name or description or anything about "the one who existed first" to say " Existence" but the context of what is meant by "Existence" should be in the statement. GOD bless you. Peace. Right, without context, except names of things, entities, all words are meaningless voices including the word "Existence".

    Salam Will appreciate if some one can share opinions about 'Badr' in 3123. Does it have to be name of a place? Some other opinions I have heard are that it may mean 'Earlier on' or 'Full manifestation'. 3123 Thanks Testing Result is okay. Let us forget it, some fault somewhere occurred earlier.

    Good questions. Like no two things are exactly similar, two Roots can't be exactly similar, they can have overlapping features but are distinct from each other in some respects. To me the difference is that of enveloping and coating. http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/00.Arabic%20Text/004.%20An%20Nisa/temp%2014%20%204.155a.gif http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/00.Arabic%20Text/004.%20An%20Nisa/4.155QQ.gif And because of their saying "Our hearts are enveloped". No, that is not the case, in fact Allah the Exalted has put a coating upon them (hearts-locus of understanding). This is for reason of their disavowal. A coating of rust upon their hearts is mentioned in 8314. Thank you for your answer. That seems entlightening, indeed. Salaam

    The above verses was quoted to me by a hadithist. Here is said if Prophet Muhammad duty was to deliver only and not explain the book and if the Quran is easy to understand and Quran explains itself. If that is the case all the person has to do is read the Quran and he will understand the message. Why does the prophet need to interpret, explain to people to understand the Quran, if the Quran in itself is explained already? peace, next time when you see him ask him one more question. and very logical one ask from him whats his intake on the verses in which clearly written " it explain itself and its easy to understand" ? if he reject that verses its mean he is not the one who beleives in real terms.. and if he accept it then all his claim get nullified/baseless/worthless. unfortunately he can only take one option.. and say him he can also provide answer with the help of hadith if he can

    About the question of the witnesses and the papers and ll that, wakas, youhave made me think. Imagine I agree with someone I trust to lend him or her some money, or to put some capital on aventure he or she trusts a lot and thinks will be profitable. I give the money, but oh, I am so stupid that I do nto sign a paper nor do I have witnesses. Was there no loean or no contribution of capital? Of cours there was loan or contribution of capital, but I do not have any proof for the world. You may say I am stupid, and I even agree with that, it is plain I was stupid, but you cannot say THERE WAS NO LOAN, NO AGREEMENT, NO CONTRIBUTION OF CAPITAL. The money, the thing that makes the venture work (or not, it will depend) was there, handed. If the person who got the money, on the other hand, is a decent person there will be no problem, she will behave according to what was agreed. See what I mean, laws, civil laws, trade alws, whatever laws are there or should be there so that people can be protected from those who have no honour, but you cannot say that if there are no witnesses there is no loan, if there are no papers there is no loan. You may not be able to prove, but loan and money os there, and if the person is honourable, the loan was there but if the person is not honourable there was no loan? What a gift to scoundrels! ON the other hand, if a new life does not prove something I do not know what does. I supose we worship ourselves, if we do not mean to marry just waste some time, then it is not marriage, but if we want now really to have a nice married life than there is marriage. Where is God, and where is self-respect and and sincerity to God? Long live ancient Egypt! They did know those people. Salaam
