Questions/Comments on the Quran

Surah 108 1 Indeed, we will become most excellent by blending in the abundance of virtues. Syntactic Explanation This is a nominal sentence. It has Inna at the start. This imparts certain changes in iraab of its subject and predicate. Its subject gets or accusative case and predicate or nominative case. < ..> Please contemplate, ask questions, critique, correct or agree before proceeding further. First you should actually break up the whole sentence into Arabic letters then view them in term of words and phrases. Accordingly 1081 represent the following; inn - Indeed, We, aaynka - We have given you l-kawthara - abundance You will have to explain how did you arrive at the words in blue; "Indeed, we will become most excellent by blending in the abundance of virtues." You have not explained convingly how you arrive aaynka = will become most excellent by blending. You also have not explained where did you get 'virtue' from out of the blue. If you can explain the above and it is rational, then there is a basis for any one to decide whether it is acceptable or not . Btw, I do not profess to be good in Arabic, but I am merely emphasizing on an objective the exegesis technique.

Peace Nonetheless, If you maintain consistency and translate "maa" as 'what', there should be no issue at all. Simply treat it as an interrogative. In other words, "What have I created jinn and ins except for serving me?" Imraan That is an interesting view for thought. Though I can sense the basic meaning but I find the statement in English odd. Do you have any linguistic or cross reference from the Quran for the above. Along you line of translation of using "maa" as 'what', I would state it as; "What have I created jinn and ins is not for any other purpose except that they serve me?" • 5156 Wama khalaqtu aljinna waal-insa illa liyaAAbudooni And not I have created the jinn and the mankind except that they worship Me. • Like the universal 'if - then' I believe there is the 'negative - exclusion' set in any language. Thus the model would be as follows; . The can be No, Not, none, Never, etc. The can be except, but, other than, If we put 5156 into the above model, we get; And + + + I have gone through the 6,236 verses in the Quran and noted there are nearly 300 verses that conform to the above linguistic model, i.e. . Of the ~300 verses with the same linguistic model, there are about 10+ with the verb 'create.' e.g. We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them save with truth. It is accurate to represent 463 as We created ] the heavens and the earth and all that is between them ] with truth. In 4522 Allah stated in in the positive mode; Wakhalaqa Allahu alssamawati waal-arda bialhaqqi ... And Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth .. 149 Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth see also 163. 2944, 395, 4522, 643 There are other similar verses of the same linguistic model, i.e. 105, 1585, 2116, 308, , 4439, 463, I think there should be no dispute to the above? and it is easier to read and understand in that direct assertive mode. Therefore from the above evidences, logic and rationale, it is justified to represent; "And not I have created the jinn and the mankind except that they worship Me." as the same with' "And ] I have created the jinn and the mankind ] that they worship Me." I believe based on evidence and cross reference from the Quran itself, the above reconciliation is justified. Agree? Since the above linguistic model and justifications is the same for Quranic Arabic and English, I believe this "negative - exclusion" set is likely a universal rule of linguistics. My question is what is the accepted linguistics principles to explain it? If there are no existing linguistic principles to explain it, it would appear I have discovered a new possible linguistic model and principle and justifications within Quranic Arabic??

So, does this verse say that we should indulge in worship?

No, you have not yet presented anything. You did not address my argument on the language topic. And when I asked where in Quran, the sectarian interpretation too, it said what you proposed, you responded with something irrelevant. It more seems that you go with straw man arguments and ad hominem and accusations without any solid motivation.

Thank you for adding them here peace

Peace Bender. Thank you for your reply. I understand you a little bit better. When you say,quote> However, how does such thing work. Lets suppose I am a prophet, then how do I get a scripture, does is fall from heaven in my hands? What do you think? Scripture is a series of instructions/directives/laws/information/warnings/teachings of the right conduct...etc that are given to a prophet/s over a period of time that is necessary to complete the message that is supposed to be received by the people/community of that prophet messenger. It can be oral or written down . The whole message,when written down constitutes the "book".i.e a record for the people and generation/s that follow unless GOD chooses to renew the message through another messenger for different reasons( corruption/test/time and place...etc). "Book" for me means a "record",whatever happens to be recorded. It can be a scripture or "other records". That is my understanding. GOD bless you. Peace.

That means you outright buy the story of the clergymen who interpreted it. You do not realize that book has been in the hands of a clergy for centuries? If you are the slightest source critical you can search in generic Classical Arabic lexicons to find alternative meanings to pretty much every Arabic word. If you were, you would discover that Quran is a jungle of misinterpreted words misused in translation and interpretation. It is to the level that entire segments of text say something vastly different to what is presented. Salaam/Peace MoF, first of all, our Lord AL-LAH has sent down QURAN TESTAMENT in such a perfectly "clear" (in Arabic "mubeen") language that we may easily and unmistakably comprehend it (=12/1-2), that only such betrayers would try to distort or reject the essential perfect meaning of those crystal clear Verses here (=41/40 & 2/99), and "straightforward" (in Arabic "qayyiman") with no "ambiguity/flaw/discrepancy" (="iwajan") in it, at all, this also means each and every "Word" mentioned in QURAN TESTAMENT always has one essential perfect spelling and meaning (*which is almost always the first meaning recited in all credible classical Arabic Lexicons) --(no one can never change any of those "Words" of/in QURAN TESTAMENT with regard to their essential perfect spelling and meaning, never =6/115)-- that everyone who knows basic Arabic could clearly, unmistakably and easily witness and understand it therein, in the time it was first revealed, and also thereafter in all Ages, generation after generation, to the Day of Resurrection, here (=43/2-3 = 62/2-4). And because of this perfect Property of QURAN TESTAMENT above, it is always perfectly Protected by our Lord AL-LAH thus both in their essential perfect spelling and meaning therein =6/115, from the very beginning to the very end. (*Otherwise, all deluded or crooked persons would come up and easily deceive everyone with speculative meanings (=i.e. generally secondary, tertiary meanings) from within many man-made crazy Lexicons all around. Many impostors already came up in the previous centuries and attempted to do it ........) And in this respect, when we carefully looked into that specific root word "kha-ta-ma" throughout the whole QURAN TESTAMENT above, we have clearly witnessed this one essential perfect meaning therein (=i.e. "seal/final/end&quot --without any exception-- perfectly in all of those occurrences therein. (*Please, clearly see it again in the previous post) And thereby thus we have clearly and unmistakably understood that Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) was/is indeed "kha-ta-ma" (=i.e. "seal/final/end&quot of the Prophets --(specifically, in the Ancestral line of "Ishmael & Al-Yasa & Dha Al-Kifl" therein; *please, clearly see it again in the previous post)-- And then Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) himself clearly and unmistakably confirmed it that no other Prophet would never come, after him therein, in one of his authentic Message above. (*Please, absolutely see the authenticity and importance of such perfect-explanations (=litubayyina) of QURAN by Prophet Muhammad (PbuH) specifically for/unto his own Nation =i.e. "Children of Ishmael" living in Makkah and Arabia therein Sura Baqarah 127-129 = Nahl 43-44 = Shoora 7 = .................. again in the previous posts above.) Besides, you surely have never reflected upon the Arabic word 'nabi' and its true meaning. Prophet is a quite weak translation and its best translation I know of is 'insightful'. It is not some magical title but the scripture uses it to present when a certain person is particularly insightful into the 'Deen' of God. Anyone sufficiently enlightened can be a 'Nabi' which you call a prophet. If you say there is no 'nabi' from 1400 years ago and until now then that means you say people are entirely in the shadows (which I can agree on though for most people). If a person grasps the truth behind faith and acts accordingly that means automatically that the person is nabi, no matter what any person says. But if a person claims to be insightful but he actually is not, he is a false 'nabi'. The word's secondary meaning implying that the person is fairly wise. But if you would like to live in your little delusion feel free to. ......... It is already perfectly Explained by our Lord AL-LAH in such a straightforward and clear manner in QURAN TESTAMENT here again (75/17-19 = 2/99 = 54/17 = ......) what the "Naba" and "Nabi" means, from the very beginning. But I still generally prefer to say "Prophet," because everyone easily and clearly understands what I mean, because if I say (="Information-Giver" or "Informer") it would require extra explanation, and it would be a distraction from the most important Issue above. But now, we should absolutely and clearly see it in QURAN TESTAMENT here ========== 21- Did the "Information" (=in arabic "Naba") come to you of/about the disputing party when they came over into the Sanctuary? (=38/21) 51- And "give-Information-to-them" (=in arabic "Nabbihum") of/about the guests of Abraham. (=15/51) So thus whoever comes with a specific "Information" (=in arabic "Naba") from AL-LAH is rightfully called an "Information-Giver" (=in arabic "Nabi"), in the first place. And in this general/broad sense above, each and every Believer who delivers a perfect "Information" (=in arabic "Naba") from within The Scripture unto other people is such a regular "Information-Giver" (=in arabic "Nabi") to them, for/in that particular situation. In this general/broad sense again, all Believers who have been murdered by such barbaric rejecters were such truthful Believers and regular "Information-Givers" (=in arabic "Nabiyyeen") to them, e.g. as indicated in this Verse (=3/21). So, again in this general/broad sense above, each and every Believer, in our Age now, is such a regular "Information-Giver" (=in arabic "Nabi"), as long as they truthfully deliver a perfect "Information" (=in arabic "Naba") from within The Scripture unto all people therein. But in particular/specific sense, only a Person who comes with a new "Scripture = whole Information" (=in arabic "Naba") from AL-LAH can rightfully be called such a specific "Information-Giver" (=in arabic "Nabi"), (=19/30) and in this particular/specific sense, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) was/is indeed "kha-ta-ma" (=i.e. "seal/final/end&quot of such specific "Information-Givers" (=in arabic "Nabiyyeen") --(exclusively, in the Ancestral line of "Ishmael & Al-Yasa & Dha Al-Kifl" therein above)-- because there will be no one who can come, after him, with another new "Scripture = whole Information" (=in arabic "Naba") from AL-LAH, therein. But if you would like to live in your little delusion feel free to. ......... I always like to totally get rid of all kinds of delusions, they should never manipulate or rule over me, for that reason I always wholeheartedly and strongly recommend unto my self, and to you, MoF, and to all of my other Friends here, and everywhere, always to hold fast to the Scripture (=QURAN TESTAMENT), from the very beginning, Steadfastly and Rightfully, always and forever, here (7/196 = 35/29-30 = 6/114-115). Remain in peace/salaam.

Yes, I know John the Baptist was beheaded. I am quite knowledgeable about most anything in the Bible, knowing some by heart. John (Yahya), Jesus and Zachariah are the only famous prophets I know of being killed. And they lived about the same time which seems to have been a restless era. These prophets liked to convey a purified message that the clergy did not appreciate. Took three good men to get that message through. Yes, I know I wrote "no particular killings", but okay we can say a few killings over time. Abel was slain by his brother too, if we consider Abel a prophet. Be well Amenuel

Who's Abel? Maybe he goes by another name in translated Quran? Salam Abel is one of the sons of Adam according to tradition. Cain is the other.

The full meanings of this phrase is translated as "limit the anxieties regarding Universal mysteries as well overcoming lack of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment". Thank you. Let me put my question differently as per the title of the thread. What are the meaning of the words "Layl" and "Qadar" as per your translation/understanding?

Salaam/Peace to All, best Wishes and Blessings, and perfect Guidance, and eternal Peace and Serenity for All here, and Worldwide (7/196 = 10/62-64), in every new Year and all new Years to come, forever, inshaAL-LAH. (=56/10-40). What is most important to me, in this respect above now (=42/49-50), in my understanding, our Lord AL-LAH thus grants Permission to us to wish to have a "daughter" or to have a "son" according to our need or desire here (=42/49-50); but all of HIS truthful Servants --(when/if they deem it absolutely necessary)-- should use this Permission, Responsibly, --(taking into consideration, first, all of those (Religion-wise and health-wise and all other-wise) conditions and circumstances, which I have tried to clearly emphasize in my previous post above, in the first place)-- and then we should always thank AL-LAH for HIS immense Kindness and Benevolence therein (=42/49-50). Personally, I would never attempt to choose the gender of my off-spring, in normal circumstances, but only in such an extraordinary circumstance that only a "daughter" or only a "son" could accomplish that specific mission (=3/36-37 & 19/7-12), then I would consider it, and thus always thank AL-LAH for HIS immense Kindness and Benevolence therein (=42/49-50). Because sometimes our Lord AL-LAH does Cure us without any medicine or doctor, or/and sometimes HE does Cure us by letting us go to HIS Servants (=i.e. Doctors here in this case) and take some (legal/lawful/halal) medicine here, first. QURAN TESTAMENT 26/80 = 16/49-50 = 38/42 = ......... So, in the same way, our Lord AL-LAH can Grant us a "daughter" or a "son" without any action or doctor, or/and HE can Grant us a "daughter" or a "son" by letting us go to HIS Servants (=i.e. Doctors here in this case) and take some (legal/lawful/halal) action, first. QURAN TESTAMENT 26/80 = 16/49-50 = 38/42 = ......... 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)

I think you should have put the Arabic together with the English, otherwise it is difficult to judge. Salaam nvm, misunderstood you peace . Unfortunately, I don't know Arabic. Salam

I pretty much agree with what you said. I have always found 545 quite interesting. Notice "life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution". That means Allah would have told them to cut off the hands and feet of pharaoh. Honestly speaking, 533 seems more like God is pulling legs P because in several other verses pharaoh was the one threatening believers with those punishments. Salaam/Peace Reel, yes, I think because in the Perfect Justice System of our Lord AL-LAH we can clearly see that this is the unchangeable Main Principle ========== 17- Today, every soul/self will be recompensed only for/with what it earned. (Thus) there will be no injustice today. Truly, AL-LAH is Swift in Reckoning. 40- Whoever commits an evil-deed, will not be requited except for/with its equivalent, and whoever does a good-deed, whether male or female, and is a believer, then those will be admitted to the Paradise, where they will receive provision without reckoning." QURAN TESTAMENT 40/17, 40 And again, in both of those Verses you specifically referred to above (=5/33-34 & 5/45) we can clearly see that the Forgiveness and Mercy is Recommended unto us by our Lord AL-LAH always as the Better/Best option for us therein ========== 34- Except for those who repent before you execute (the recompense) unto them (=taqdiroo alayhim) (then) you should absolutely know that AL-LAH is (always) Best-Forgiver, Most-Merciful. (=25/68-72, 73-76) --(*and so, if any of such Aggressors above (=5/33; it could be Pharaoh too) thus openly repents (=i.e. regret and immediately refrain from committing such atrocities above, and reform themselves)-- and greets the believers with "Peace" (=4/94) even at the moment just before the recompense would be executed unto them therein (=min qablu an taqdiroo alayhim), "they should be forgiven" by this Commandment of AL-LAH here, in the first place (=4/94 & 42/40-43)-- QURAN TESTAMENT 5/33-34 ========== 45- And We have decreed for them (=i.e. Children of Israel) in it (=TORAH) that a life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and (always) just a similar/same-retribution for wounds; but whoever forfeits what is due to him/her as a charity (=tasaddaqa bihi), it will be an atonement for his/her (own sins). ......... --(*again, it is absolutely Recommended unto all truthful believers to choose to be patient and forgive in all such situations, by this Commandment of AL-LAH here again, in the first place (=4/94 & 42/40-43)-- QURAN TESTAMENT 5/45 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)

Even the traditionalists have different translations, but literally it means Kill yourselves, obviously they didn't nor would they, yet God destroyed them all and resurrected them. I think there is an idea here, when you read the entire verse. No, it says Thalamtum anfusakum ... so ask for forgiveness of your creator and iqtalu anfusakum That is undo, not kill, undo those anfusakum that you thalamtum. There are different angus in Qur'an. Those in janna are anfus al muTma'inna, there is also an nafs alLawwama... It is the transgressor soul tht hey must undo, not their nafs. There is after the word naf in aya 2.54 the exression dhalikum, it is usually translated as "That" that is better for you... But it could be that it may refer to the nafs al maThlumalike And undo that nafs of you al maThluma We understando from hte several qualifiations of the nafs as the Qur'an gives that the nafs can be in different conditions, or states, so udo the sick nafs is not kill yurself but get rid of your soul sickness. In english it may sounnd contrived but in Arabic is perfectly consistent. Salaam

Oh and modern science told us that ants can talk with each others. Just saying.

Could someone explain 6111? Does it mean that God will make people disbelieve and then sent them to hell for doing so? An English translation of the Quran - 6111 And if We had sent down to them the angels, and the dead spoke to them, and We had gathered before them everything, they still would not believe except if God wills. Alas, most of them are ignorant. Where is hell mentioned in 6111?

Peace all, Who is the fire career in the chapter 111? Followed is the text of the chapter In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful. 1111 Condemned are the hands of the fire maker; condemned. 1112 His money will not avail him, nor what he has earned. 1113 He will be sent to a flaming fire. 1114 And his wife who carries the logs. 1115 On her neck will be a rope of thorns. And also, who is the wife? Those who make fire? The wives of them who carry the logs? Those who make fire, deeds that consume others. And those wives who help their husband because they carry the logs. The wife carrying the logs and the husband starting the fires etc. Don't think to hard brother/sister in faith. May the Lord protect us against the accursed devil, the whisperers of the devils and from them coming closer to us. May He increase our knowledge.

Men and women are all over the place, one does not need any paper to see what persons do, of whatever sex, it is not anything secret or that needs a laboratory. you can see that there are men who are stupid just as there may be women who are stupid, men that are reliably just as women that are reliable and indeed that is what the Qur'an confirms, and regrding reliability of witnesses, Las Day has brought enough proofs FROM THE QUR'AN, not from any seudoscientifical paper with nothing to back its statements except conjecture alien to real observation of human beings. But I guess the Qur'an is nto good enough for thosw who want at any cost to have some edge over others. Salaam

As to there being two types, or rather two legal, terms for marriage representing two different sets of circumstances in it, I agree, and I think that it must have something to do with the degree of wealth autonomy of the wife, whether she could live by herself with her own means at any event or whether she would be dependent on the wealth of the husband. Iam not sure aobut this, I have just thought of it, as you, Last Day, have pointed out. It eould be worth to verify against all ocurrences and data within the Qur'an. Salaam
