    Salam, When I translate sexual intercourse I get something similar to sexual "company". I think this translation to my language is incorrect...In Quran when it's written sexual intercourse does it mean only sex or is "sexual company" correct? Salam An English translation of the Gospel - Matthew 528 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. An English translation of the Quran - 546 And We sent in their footsteps Jesus, son of Mary, authenticating what was present with him of the Torah. And We gave him the Gospel, in it is a guidance and a light, and authenticating what was present with him of the Torah, and a guidance and a lesson for the righteous. I just shared it group! Do not ask why ignore!

    You always have a problem in thinking, because you're thinking on something else. The Sun can't be "he", because it's "she". Allah swt is He and Allah is coming with the Sun, as same man Ibrahim a.s. stated in ayat I already quoted. So, whenever we see the Sun we should know that there's Allah swt Who is coming with it. But, don't do sejdah to the Sun, do it to Allah swt. This is why many of the people took the Sun as their diety, they knew that Allah swt is there (here) and they started with performing their worship acts to Allah swt. When their offspring continued with the same, but without the knowledge, they thought their fathers are worshiping the Sun (the Moon...) and they made a shirk. Ibrahim a.s., as a person who never done shirk, has best examples we can think about and get the knowledge about shirk, and many other topics. We just need to reject tefsirs and stories from ignorant ones and kadhiboon and to think about Allah swt Only and His ayats. Allah's bless and selam.

    Peace Mazhar, Sorry for the late reply. As you know, Sunday is the day of groceries and completing pending work. My brother, the bird will remain bird even if it can not fly and insect will remain insect even if it can fly, it is as simple as it is. There is no rocket science behind it. I discuss not only for the sake of discussion but to learn something. To exchange knowledge. Google it and you will find that what I have said above. I think we both can not convince each other. It is hard for a science person like me to accept your logic. But thanks anyway for your contribution. Salam You are talking on the basis of human classification of creatures. They have been changing their classifications. May be tomorrow they take out ants from classification of insects into bird. People were not believing that ants speak. Now they accept.

    yeh i agree on that prophet is the one who predict , i mean wordy meanings...derived from prophecy... so what do u think what possible and close understanding of this word nabi should b... ? atleast with messenger its pretty clear its a message and delivery person known as messenger... but with nabi the word is debateable..whats about informer I think informer is indeed much better, I think it must have something to do with information Depends on what the "high community" lets the person know. The true future you cannot see because it does not exist yet although you can see visions of a possible or determined future in advance. The "prophet/seer" is dependent on being enabled to see by the Foundation in control. But if successful and elevated to the "high community" the person will be aware of everything going on and is in control. Such things is not the purpose of this world though but here it is about refining your person in order to progress and shape your soul into something worth preserving. Be well Amenuel RED If you are talking here about natural phenomenons then I don't call that prophesying as they can be calculated. If you mean with prophecies like Nostradamus then I can also make such prophecies. btw. prophesying does not allow free will or vice versa Not informer but informed, though I would opt for the word insightful. The word is more or less synonymous with the Sanskrit word buddha which is not a label but attribute of a person. Be well Amenuel RED Nice! Or maybe even an informed informer.

    Abraham moved from Ur the Chaldees to the land of the Kanaanites ! In the Torah we read about that in details. May the Lord bless Abraham and hes children. Good question, but remember that miracles are true, the 3 days-death of Jesus, son of Mary, the Messiah, the 3 days of Jonah in the belly of the Fish, etc. Our Lord says "Be" and it "Is". Peace.

    In spanish an orphan is the person who has lost to death one of the parents or both, to specify it is said mother orphan or father orphan, or without father and mother. It may be in the Qur'an it is the context that might say, but still i think the 4.3 and 127 refers to children without father for whatever reason, bein death or being unknown or not acknowledging the child.

    Salam Birth of Marry(pbuh) daughter of Imran(pbuh) Q 336When she gave birth to her she said, my Lord surely I gave birth to her a female. "Allah knows more" with "what she gave birth". And a "male is not like a female". And surely I have named her Maryam / Mary and surely I seek refuge for her with You and her "offspring / progeny" from the satan the stoned QuestWhy did Marry's(pbuh) mother said, Marry's progeny? When in Quran Progeny is always from father!! Jesus(pbuh) conceived by Marry(pbuh) Hints given in Quran 2191 compare with 6612 ""1 Q2191 And she(Marry) who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into it(1feminine private part/organ)of Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds. ""2 Q6612 And Maryam, (the) daughter (of) Imran who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into it(2masculine private part/organ) of Our Spirit.

    I did not mean "tinker" in a negative regard, but more like repairing or something similar. The word tinker does not have a negative meaning and it means to improve. If I would talk negatively I would use the word conjecture. If you read the whole post you would see that it is incoherent that it would be read negatively considering the post in its entirety. It is such contextual checking you would have to do when deciphering Quran before jumping to conclusions. So despite I advised you not to hasten you did. I thought you were going to reply in a friendly way and say that you would share your results with me whenever you make progress. Be well Amenuel
  • The Rights of Children

    One thing about that site you quote is that still they consider that only half humanity has own will, that is, males. It cntinues saying in english "your wives and your children",where it says your mates and your children. Women also have children, in fact they have he children more hn he males, but still, who cares about them. 9.85. It is obvious that it points to the worldly value we put on everything, how we admire the "rich and beautiful" and consider their lives as worht envying or admiring, and children are part of it. Think of Ibrahim sacrifice as oposed to that as the realisation that our children are not for us nor belong to us, but re indeendent of us and the only success for us is to lead them to submit to God, if the children will. Because if hey will not there is nothing to do. Watch carefully the dilog between Ibrahimand his son, because that is about the best image of what the ideal parent and child relationshi should be. And if it is true that when that happens the son is not any more a small kid, you cannot come to that kind of relationship without building it since the beginning or at least for a long time before. To me, as regards parent and child interaction that scene is worth hundreds of pages and brings Ibrahim closer to the reader tha anywhere else in the book. That "my dear little son" , full of overflowing tenderness and the concern for his son's oinion says more than five treaties on the rights of children. Salaam

    Blessings to you too What did you mean by this word ? ) If we're on some magic ball there should be no "above", it should be "outside". It's interesting that shaytan la promised to come to us from before us, after us, our left and our right sides. (717) He can't come from above? What is coming from above is blessed (mubarak). Allah's bless and salam.

    The Elevated, Distinct and Chosen Allegiant is more dear and revered with the true believers than their Selves; And his wives are their mothers. Take note, the holders of womb's relationship some are in worldly matters nearer-preferable than others as laid down in the Book of Allah the Exalted; From amongst the believers and emigrants except that you conduct to your kin in a decent recognized manner. This is what has been prescribed in writing in the Book.

    This is one of the most important topics, not just for Muslims, for all of the mankind. Speaking of this, I'll start with His blessed name and His ayat marked as 02168. There're about 20 ayats which starts with "O, mankind" and all are about faith, but this one, which is about "deen", rules. This ayat is about the food. We all should eat halal and tayyib, otherwise we're following shaytan's footsteps. So, the food is the source of shaytan worshipping and becoming shaytan from men. This is why this topic is very important. We should also remember that the food is what caused Adam as to go out of Jannat, and we have Shaytan again in that story. In 0505 we have to understand that the food from Ahl-ul-Kitab (Jews and Christians) is allowed to us, if it's not against other ayats, but we should also see that this ayat is telling us that we cannot eat the food from other (then them and Muslims) people. I haven't found any ayat that we can eat from mushriqoon, have you? Ayats 06118-119 and many others can tell us more about the food, and the Qur'an has all we have to know about it. But, remember, it's very important to know about this. I've found some video about the meat and this is good to see www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA7-7igGU1I Allah's bless and salam
  • Does Fasting End at Sunset or at Night?

    Night, day, the Sun and the Moon have their "falak" (pl. of "fulk&quot. This means that they're independent of each other. The day and the night's start and end has nothing with the Sun (nor the Moon). I wonder where you have found "Earth's tilt" in the Qur'an... Have you found "fulk" of the Earth? I haven't, and I know it doesn't exist, it's just sihr from fasiqoon. As said in 7320 we cannot calculate day and night, but how to fast? We have told that the Sun and the Moon are ayats of the day and the night, so if we see the Sun we should know that it's day for sure, and if we see the Moon we should know that it's night. What if we see both? It means that it's night and day same time. Is it? We should also know that the Sun and the Moon are "daibayn" which means their behaviour can be predictable, so we can calculate all about them, as the time and place when and where we can see them, or stop seeing them, their orbits, eclipses and so on. But, in the same ayat the night and the day are mentioned, but it's not said that they're daibayn, because they're not. We cannot predict them. We should fast till we see the Moon (night's ayat) or till we see any darkness, for which we're sure that it's from the night. In any case, this is before sunset, as day(light) starts before sunrise. 9104 is a proof that the night starts before the Sun sets. If we're not sure we can wait for sunset, or for total darkness, even there's no need for this. We should all ourselves understand what is "al-layl" and fast according to that. Allah's bless and salam.

    Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up truly obedient to Allah. (23 This doesn't mean "middle prayer", there's no "middle prayer". Sorry for quoted this, but my intention was to tell that if it is told "that and this" in the Qur'an, it means two things in which one doesn't contain other one. My point is that what is told in 1587 can't be first surah, Al-Fatiha, nor any surah, nor any of Qur'anic ayats. If we wanna understand "mathani" we should see that most of the words from this root are translated as "two" or "second" and some of them are used in modern Arabic with these meanings. But, obviously, if they're same Allah swt wouldn't use all of them, there would be no need. So, their meaning is different, but we should agree that they'll point to number two in some way. Let's try to understand how... If we find verbs from this root, we'll notice that form I verb is used in 1105 where it's describing some action with which some people are hiding something with their breasts. Faith is in the breasts and their action is usually translated/understood as "folding up breasts". From described we should also understand that it's covering, which goal is precaution. Similarly, form X verb is used in 6818. Here it means that these two men were hiding "in sha Allah" with their words (they swore to plunk the fruits - for sure). In both cases it's about uncovering what was covered. This is why some nouns mean "two", covering and covered. Uncovering is done with mathani. In many ayats we can read that Allah swt was sending revalations to humans, and we can understand reasons for so many revalations. Here we can get the knowledge about their number there were 7 revalations and the Qur'an is 8th. The Qur'an is also mathani as said in 3923. Whenever Allah swt sent some revalation people should cover its Truth (haqq) and Allah swt sent new one... until He sent Qur'an, as final mathani, which uncovered all what people covered from previous revalations. Qur'an contains all from previous revalations, as all of them contain what was revealed before them (except the first one). If we read 2208-09 we should understand that "covering" revalations is talking without the knowledge without the guidance without Kitab Muneer. But, indeed there're so many ayats about this topic. Allah swt knows best. Allah's bless and salam.
