Questions/Comments on the Quran

Root is Ayn Thal Ba, meanings ?it was, or became sweet ? or it was, or became, easy and agreeable to be drunk or swallowed?. That's one meaning of the root, didn't you see number 2 from the link http//www.studyquran.org/LaneLexicon/Volume5/00000266.pdf I don't understand what Wazaan means? I don't see how sweet could be placed in the verses, that being said I haven't checked them all. Which verses do you think would apply to you understanding of the meaning "?it was, or became sweet ? or it was, or became, easy and agreeable to be drunk or swallowed?

I think you've misunderstood my writing or you didn't read the link for the correction of this vers instead to translat it "to kill yourself" i wrote that it doesn't make sense and instead i gave the example of to improve oneself. There is only one Messenger as far as i know in Sura 18 who is killing the young man but as i already wrote it is a Vision in my opinion or a alagorical message and not to be passed over in reality. Stay connected Peace si di, No no, I did not misunderstood your reply. But I wrote in addition to what you posted. Sorry for not clarifying it ( May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr mmKhan

How can we say for sure that the Quran is authentic, and it is a book from God? Is there any undeniable proof that it is not just a well written book by a wise and talented writer? Grand Qur'aan The Infallible Doctrine-Discourse of Reality-Profitability and substance of permanence The fundamental characteristics that render and earn for a book the title of great book include; validity and reliability of its contents. In timeline, we are always surrounded by information and to know which source to trust is not always an easy proposition. The ability to evaluate the credibility of information is the most important skill for success. Validity and reliability of a book is the primary and the foremost concern of a critical reader and searcher for the truth. Except Grand Qur'aan, presently no book in its body has addressed such concerns of a reader. The parameters, criteria for evaluating the validity and reliability of a book is that its contents must be absolutely void of psychologically disconcerting suspicious, conjectural, whimsical, conflicting, un-certain, illusory, unsubstantiated, biased and opinionated matter. These features grant a book the credentials of infinite validity and reliability. Conversely, we can say that only such book can be credited as valid and reliable which has in its miscellany nothing but infallible truths whose veracity can stand the accuracy test in timeline. In Arabic, this fact about the book is rendered in succinct and explicit manner by the epithet Grand Qur'aan The Infallible Doctrine-Discourse of Reality-Profitability and substance of permanence

Thanks Wakas for the link.

I don't think you can translate it as "putting down slander" by talking back. It's referring to clothing in a manner that will prevent them from being targeted by the slander of the hypocrites AND to be recognized. This verse is directed towards the wives/daughters of the prophets. I don't think it is a dress code for ALL women. You are free to lengthen your garments like you feel is suited for you. I think you aren't married to a prophet or are the daughter of one. In any case neither this verse nor the other one tells you to wear a head scarf or hide your hair whatsoever. There is just no evidence for it. Lengthen your garments and dress as you feel is modest in Gods eyes. You must have noticed yourself hypocrites (men and women alike) are specialized in targeting people for outer appearances of submission to God. Therefor you can understand God stresses this rule to the wives/daughters of the prophet. He wants to protect them especially from these types of slander. The hypocrites will always find ways to slander you based on what you wear. Eg in the ISIS khalifate women are reprimanded for lifting their burqa's when they need to take a stairs by even bigger hypocrites. Peace It's not just about talking back. I think we are having a misunderstanding. I believe the women being harassed should file a legal report (like a police report of sorts) so that the woman is known as someone who isn't taking shit off anyone and that no retaliation on the part of the hypocrites will be entertained, and/or, more importantly, that the harassers are known and taken to the woodshed

Thank you for the inputs, sister huruf and brother MoF. May the blessing of God be upon you. ) Salm.

I can?t find a good explanation with my level of knowledge but this two 1- The sentence talks about praying while still thinking about sex (mental purification) or having physical "symptoms" (wait until its over so you dont mix prayers with hormone-induced thoughts). 2- Washing the rests of the "liquid disdained", only coming from men, as well as women have their periods. I hope I?ve been explicit enough, Im an educated lady yes Does anybody find this right? Any contradictions? ??? laugh

It may help http//sheepoo.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/nahw-let-us-count-in-arabic-and-get-a-headache.pdf http//www.learnarabiconline.com/arabic-numbers.shtml Thanks

Salamun Alaika brother Israfeel. I intend to offer a response to the your original question. If I understand correctly ? your concerns are Without hadis ? how do we know we cannot marry with a predetermined intension of divorce. Without hadis ? how do we know that a husband cannot divorce his wife 3 times in one go. I would like to draw your attention to the following verse 2231 And whenever you divorce the women then they reach their term then retain them with fairness or release them with fairness. And do not retain them injuriously so that you transgress. And whoever does that then certainly he wronged his soul. And do not take the signs of Allah in mockery and remember the blessings of Allah upon you; and what has been sent down to you of the book and the wisdom - He instructs you with it - and be conscious of Allah and know that Allah is Knowledgeable of everything. (My personal translation, emphasis added ? cross checking is recommended) Do you see the instruction ?do not take the signs of Allah in mockery?? Any sensible person who applies his ?God-gifted? common sense and intellect would understand that the two practices mentioned in the beginning are intended to misuse / manipulate the verses of Qur?an which defies the spirit of the system prescribed by Qur?an ? in other words anyone performing such practices would be taking the signs of Allah in mockery. Thus if we apply our common sense / conscience and intellect ? then Qur?an?s directive itself would be enough for guidance of a conscious person. But if we burry our conscience and intellect under-ground ? and keep searching for literal instructions in every step of our life ? neither the Qur?an nor any amount of hadis collection would suffice us. Now let me reverse your challenge and show you why blind faith on these so called ?hadis? books could be dangerous. Take the example of below verse 46 And test the orphans until whenever they mature for marriage. Then if you notice right (guidance) in them, then hand over their wealth to them - and do not consume it excessively or suddenly lest they (should) grow up. And whoever happens to be rich so he should refrain, and whoever happens to be poor then let him consume (it) with due fairness. Then whenever you hand over their wealth to them - take witness on them and Allah suffices as an Accountant. (My personal translation ? cross checking is recommended) Any sensible person who reads this verse would see that there is an ?underlying assumption? in the above verse that there is a certain age when a person mature enough for marriage ? and according to the above verse the same age is also the age when a person is matured enough to take responsibility of his wealth. And if we apply our God-gifted common sense it is clear that under no circumstances that age can be can be 9 years. But in spite of the above, many so called hadis and sunnah followers would argue that our Prophet married Aysha when she was 9 years old and hence child marriage is legitimate. When they propose this argument they seldom think that ? Allah never promised to preserve the life story of the Prophet (beyond what is available in Qur?an) ? and hence it is possible that this specific piece of information (i.e. the age of Aysha at the time of marriage) was recorded incorrectly in books of sirat ? which historians agree were compiled 100+ years after the death of Prophet. Even in today?s age of transparency and openness gossip and falsehood can spread like hellfire ? then isn?t it possible that 1000+ years ago when there was no formal marriage register ? misinformation could spread, especially when such a misinformation helps justify prevalent malpractices? Since we cannot rule-out the possibility of such corruption in hadis and books of sirat ? are these literature reliable enough to overrule our God-gifted common-sense? I neither call myself a Quranist, nor a hadis rejector ? but my limited study of Qur?an and hadis has given me the conviction that following my common sense while reading the book of Allah is the best way to understand its true meaning. If you want to use the ?Hadis literature? as a supporting tool ? I personally would not call you a deviant ? as long as you are true to your conscience and intellect. But if you or anyone for that matter decides to bury his senses of right and wrong in favor of interpretation of so called scholars of hadis / sunnah or even the Qur?an - that to me ? is clearly a path of error ? no matter which brand of Madhhad or school of thought you claim to follow. May Allah guide us all to the straight route. Regards, Arman

Peace jafar. Agree. I would also like to add "Unseen" to your list. For example if your relative is away you say he/she is " Ghaiib". i.e you have not seen them , but they exist! GOD bless you. Peace. Thank you both. goodlogic, this gahiib you have written is not another different word which in fact does min absent? That is ghaib, the one I means is ghaib Then there is this ghaa'ib I am not interested in that, which although it may sound similar it is not the same nor sounds the same. Thank you again. More insights? Salaam

RED aaah thx!!! I get it now. This is kinda anti-climatic compared to all those other times angel If I translate my version into Dutch it means It is impossible for you (=Savage) to hit something without me (=Bender) noticing it. And that made perfectly sense to me. So how would you write what I meant, using the words "hands" and "eyes" in 1 sentence. Well, I'd write it like you just wrote it without hands and eyes and any catchy feel to it whatsoever but if I had to... 'Your hands can't hit anything because my eyes can see everything' or something...? I think the difficulty is not in the word while/at the moment/during but the difficulty is that we have a wrong understanding what AlQuran means. I agree. May be the Qur'an is being revealed all the time, to all people. As we can readily see, not all people understand the Qur'an in the same depth, or the same amount or the same aspects. Also a single person through life may change her understanding all the way, gain perception and insight. It is nto static, so we might think that besides having descended in a worded form at a given time, now it keeps descending for each person at her own measure in depth, extension, and quality. So may be we will not ask of the Prophet, but we will ask from the Qur'an as it is being revealed to each of us. Salaam Yes, I understand this to be true. Qur'aan is completed. Now window of asking questions through the Messenger is closed. Now one has to find answers for himself in the Book or in the universe, if he has certain questions in his mind. Both windows are open, only the Messenger is not there who could bring answers instantly as did Musa alahissalam about questions raised by his nation, see cow episode. I understand your point of view. peace

Secondly, the need for acquiring skill for real-time translation is for reason that Grand Qur'aan is alive in time and space. It is declared as "Infallible Discourse", a miscellany of facts for all times. Therefore, barring a truly academic translation, all translations of the past will become redundant-obsolete for successive generations in timeline. However, its characteristic feature; "Infallible Discourse" and declaration about its contents as absolutely void of peeving substance suspicious, conjectural, whimsical, conflicting, ambiguous, anomalous, irrational, un-certain, illusory, unsubstantiated, incongruous, biased and opinionated matter, renders it understandable for readers of any point of timeline. Quite many people have translated the text of Grand Qur'aan for various motivations, considerations and intentions, good as well as bad, in timeline. Detailed account can be seen in World Bibliography of The Translations of The Meanings of The Holy Qur'an (Istanbul, OIC Research Center, 1986), Most of these are available on line. It is worldwide known fact that the first translations to English were not undertaken by the believers in Qur'aan. During 231 year period from 1649 to 1904 only four English translations were produced, all four by scholars who had their identity as Christians. 1649 Alexander Ross The Alcoran of Mahmet Quote from Wikipedia One of Ross's most significant accomplishments, published in the same year as the beheading of the king, was his complete translation of the Qur'an into English. Although he knew no Arabic and only poorly translated L'Alcoran de Mahomet, the 1647 French translation of Du Ryer, his translation was the first in English, and his influence faintly lingers in latter-day translations down to the present. 1734 George Sale The Koran The first scholarly translation of the Qur'an based primarily on the Latin translation of Louis Maracci (169 George Sale's translation was to remain the most widely available English translation over the next 200 years, and is still in print today, with release of a 2009 edition 1861 John Medow Rodwell The Koran 1880 Henry Edward Palmer The Qur'an The fact remains that no attempt was ever made for the academic translation of Grand Qur'aan. Moreover, it is an undeniable and unfortunate fact that just few scholars attempted translating the Grand Qur'aan in their respective target language directly from its Arabic text. Thanks to computer and internet technology, it is now easy to see the majority of translations on one page. This blessing of technology has highlighted a dismal image of saddening effect; when we see many translations on one page we find more plagiarism than original work. Majority merely "re-translated", or "reproduced" already available translations; particularly that of George Sale and John Rodwell, with slight difference of sentence structuring, and replacements by synonyms and synonymous words of the same language. The conspicuous difference will be noticed only about additions of sectarian biases. The fact of reliance upon such translations becomes glaring in later translations when we find such opinions; which otherwise seem irrational, illogical and even ridiculous on face value, were plagiarized. Why is it necessary to acquire skill for real-time translation of Grand Qur'aan when more than hundred translations are readily available?

Salam, Just for your info If we read & understand the Quran fully; we realize that the Only one task that was assigned to all Prophets by Allah Jalla Aala which was to deliver the laws of BOOKs of Allah to the people clearly. Quran again and again says that the Prophets job is just to deliver the message from the BOOKs of Allah to the people. But these Khabeeth Fanatics do not believe what Quran says in verse 544 & 2213 & in many other verses instead they add in islam the forged sunna+Hadith that Prophet never left behind in manuscript form. It was not the duty of any Prophet to invent their separate Sunna+Hadiths parallel to the BOOKS of Allah nor they ever invented but by Clergy centuries later. "Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt'. Noble Quran verse 6114 "The sole duty of the messenger is to deliver the message, and GOD knows everything you declare and everything you conceal". Up to year 672 AD Muslims were united as one Umma (Nation) under Quran, & were not aware of terms such as sunna Hadiths, Naats, & Droods etc until Persian Imams (disguised Zoroastrians) forged millions of lies 250-400 years after the death of Prophet & later they labeled their lies as Hadiths in order to discredit/over rule Quranic Laws and split one united Muslim Umma into countless sects. Whole Islamic law is contained in Quran. Quran is THE BEST HADITH of Allah & also is only the AUTHENTIC HADITH OF Prophet. The Koran is in detail & is made Easy to understand & memorize Extra-Quranic Hadiths are an innovation Allah in Quran 6943-47 makes it crystal clear that all preserved Wahi sent to Prophet Muhammad PBUH is contained only in Quran. So there is no any preserved Wahi out side the Quran. Therefore, it is clearly proven from the verse 6944, that preserved Wahi is only one type that is contained in Quran . Verse # 6944 makes it clear as the sun on the sky that Personal sayings of Prophet are NOT WAHI. Allah in these verses clearly says, that If Prophet Muhammad had mixed his own sayings in Quran, we could have seized him from his right hand & could have cut his life-vein. NOBLE QURAN IS THE BEST HADITH OF ALLAH & also ONLY THE authentic hadith of Prophet . So when you follow Quran, its mean you are following both, Allah and Prophet. Mullahs succeeded to transform the REAL DEEN of Islam into Mullahs-made religion in past 1200 years. Then in order to market their "Religion of Mullahs"; they as usual felt no shame even in twisting the meanings of verses of Quran in order to misguide the majority of sheeple blindly-following Muslims so that they should come to Mullahs-shops to consult them for the matters of their self-made religion. Islam is a DEEN (divine system), & not a religion. DEEN emphasize on, to serve humanity/Humans to please Allah Jalla Aala but religion of Mullahs and Priests emphasize on to please GOD through their man-made rituals. Rituals are not given in scriptures. Allah says, His BOOK is complete and fully detailed & it does not miss any thing that is required in Islam. When Muslims followed only the Noble Quran under the command of Last Prophet and 4 guided Caliphs, Muslims became a superpower of world in 636AD after defeating two superpowers of that time, Romans and Zoroastrian Persians. But Muslims decline started after the defeated Persians trained pseudo Imams & ordered them to forge millions of lies and then labeled them hadiths of Prophet in order to distort Islam to take revenge from Muslims for their humiliating defeat in the battle field of Qadsia. After the inventions of millions of fake hadiths, majority of Jaahil blindly-following Muslims placed BOOK of Allah aside and started to believe in the lies of Zoroastrian Hadith imams that they stuffed in their evil books. Among these lies, is also a big lie called fictions about graves. Quran makes it clear that all prophets were like other mortal humans except they used to receive wahi from Allah. Quran also makes it clear that the dead do not listen. Quran also never says about any activity or Azaab in Grave But on the contrary, Forged Hadith books of Persians spread countless fictions about death and grave like there will be questions in grave and Azaab in grave, and many many other fictions that Zoroastrian imams copied from Christians Jews and Zoroastrians & stuffed in hadith Books. Look at the Biggest religious group, the Christians that have millions of scholars called Priests & scholars that carry Ph.D's in theology. But why all Christians with all their Priests & Ph.D Scholars have gone astray for 2000 years? Why? Why? There is only one MAIN REASON, that is blind-following of their elders & old misguided generations. This exact same reason applies to not less than 97 percent of Muslims who have also gone astray frm 1200 years, Despite the Quran declares those people THE WORST BEASTS on planet who follow others blindly. Iblees has sent majority of people on earth astray, incl Christians Muslims Jews, Hindus ++. Reason is blind following from the older generations. Quran repeatedly warns; Do not believe blindly unless u inquire and investigate it fully. Muslims are following the Criminal evil Mullahs blindly from 1200 years & so are gone astray. Quran 3882 said ?Then by Thy very might I shall most certainly beguile them all into grievous error Quran 3883 except such of them as are truly Thy servants" So please please at least do some research about Islam and learn arabic to understand the quran, if not get an unbiased translation of the quran and since it is god's book, let God alone be the teacher. If you all need more proof of the above just let me know, i will be glad to show you more info which is authentic.

Even if you interprete the verse to be dealing with living creatures, viruses do not contradict Quran. As I posted earlier, there is no understanding of the historical evolution of viruses. As it is not proven they can come into existence without requiring cellular life - they do not contradict. Being dependent on cellular life implies an indirect confirmation of that rule. Without pairs no cellular life, without cellular life no viruses.

Interestingly i am currently pondering over certain fishes which are not lawful to eat,it is not for a reason god had made this sign for People to think about it. Sorry i've forgotten whales aren't fishes they belong to animals which do babies suck.

Breaking it down. Can one bring hearts together in Quranic context with money? No Are believers affectionate to eachother in Quranic context? Yes Can one reunite/join hearts that are already affectionate but seperated from eachother using money? Definitely No contradiction.

Salamun Alaikum, Brother! I read the context and became more confused! If you continue reading further you will come to a verse which is strange and weird! This is the Free Mind translation 7032 And those who look after what they have been entrusted to and to their pledges. 7033 And those who uphold their testimonies. 7034 And those who maintain their contact prayer. 7035 They will be honored in gardens. 7036 So what is wrong with the rejecters staring at you? 7037 From the right and the left, in crowds? 7038 Does every one of them hope to enter a garden of bliss? 7039 No, We have created them from what they know. 7040 So I do swear by the Lord of the east and the west, that We are able. 7041 To replace them with better people, We can never be defeated. 7042 So let them talk in vain and play, until they meet their Day which they are promised. 7043 When they will come out of the graves in a rush, as if they are racing towards a goal. 7044 Their eyes are cast down, with shame covering them. This is the Day which they were promised. Do, you understand 7040? hypno Who is talking in some of the verses and who is talking in 7040? If, it is God, then why is he swearing by the Lord of the east and the west? I think it's the Angels talking here ! hmm What are your thoughts? Maybe Angels? confused And, why sudden shifts between I and We? I want also some clarifications! Wassalam! Allah the Exalted. 7039-41 No, this desire of Non Believing http//www.haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Tabweeb%20Part%202/14.%20Roots%20originating%20in%20Surat%2014/9.%20Mohetina%20Haa%20Toi%20Ain/1.gif those who hasten to confront in fear and submission, docility will not be entertained. Indeed Our Majesty had created them out of a part of that which they know. Therefore, I emphasize upon you "I swear as the Sustainer Lord of all the East-each point of Sunrise and all the West-each point of Sunset That Our Majesty have certainly the full command and control Upon that We might cause their replacement with people better than them; And that We are certainly never frustrated-outwitted. Allah the Exalted swears by a relational word Sustainer Lord, another example http//www.haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/004.%20An%20Nisa/temp%2014%20%204.65.gif Therefore; your Sustainer Lord swears ; they will not believe in the manner acceptable to Allah the Exalted until and unless they might consider and make you the Messenger judge-authority-ruler to decide in matters that have become hardened belief like entrenched tree amongst them the people of Book. Refer 465

If our deeds will be made visible during the Judgement even us will see it. It may refer to the future from the moment you are informed you are being observed, or the future in the day youre judged . Maybe the acts will be shown to some witnesses. Wonderful understanding. Other information and the sequence of happenings told in the Ayah reveals it, overlooking the particles rendered the translation vague. And perhaps you have an idea of other Ayahs about the judgment day. Those who are aware of the judicial process, the Ayah is self explanatory. He who has watched, his evidence is termed primary evidence in judicial proceedings. They will render apologetic explanations to you people when you would have returned to them; You reply to them "Don't give explanations, never will we believe you, Allah the Exalted has indeed since informed us some of the news of the news-paper of you people. Take note, Allah the Exalted and the Messenger of Him will in the Hereafter watch your deeds Afterwards this examination, you will be taken towards the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible domains, continuously and simultaneously; Thereat, He the Exalted will charge sheet you for deliberate and willful acts you were performing." Translation after morphological and syntactic parsing of sentences 994

Peace all What is decreed for women? And married women except those your right hands possess. the decree of Allah upon you. And lawful to you are beyond these, that you seek them with your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy from them, give them their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (4 24) http//i.snag.gy/B9Qxj.jpg http//i.snag.gy/SZT03.jpg The decreed for women is UJUR and UJUR is a FARIDAH and not gift, therefore SADUQAAT is a gift from the guardian to the orphan bride. The bridegroom gives UJUR to the bride before consummation of the marriage while a guardian gives SADUQAAT to the female orphan at the time of the marriage. If four wives are allowed by Allah then HE should not have revealed the following verse. Salam Bro, There is no mentioned of "MARRIED WOMEN". I do believe this is an error in the traditional translation. The interpolation does not provide any meaning because if you check the following verse 25, the same word "MUHSANAT" is used. If "MUHSANAT" means married women, than verse 25 should be "if you cannot afford to marry believing married women". It makes no sense! The translation of verse 24 AND 25 should be And free chaste women except what your right hands possess, decree of Allah upon you and lawful to you, what beyond that, you seek with your wealth, desiring chastity, not lust. So what you benefit from them, so give them their bridal due as an obligation. And there is no sin upon you for what you mutually agree of it from beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. Verse 24 gives us the persmission to marry free chaste women except MMA. The following verse 25, gave an explicit instruction for those who cannot afford to marry free chaste believing women than they are allow to marry MMA, with same rules as free believing women And whoever among you not afford to marry free, chaste believing women, then from what possess your right hand of believing slave young women. And Allah knows about your faith. You all are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their owners and give them their bridal due with a fair manner. chaste, not those who commit adultery nor those who take lovers. Than when they are married and if they commit adultery, then for them is half what on free chaste women of the punishment. That is for whoever fears committing sin among you all, and if you be patient is better for you all. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. The above instructions is exclusively for the believers and does not apply to the Prophet. What is exclusively for the Prophet is in 3350 - O Prophet, I, We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their bridal due, that is, what your right hand possesses from those Allah has given you and the daughters of your paternal uncle and the daughters of your paternal aunt and the daughters of your maternal uncle and the daughters of your maternal aunt who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet wishes to marry her, EXCLUSIVELY for you, from besides the believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, that not be upon you discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

If you search the forum, you can find the proper counter arguments of those two articles. The arguments made here in these two articles aren't very strong, very baseless...
