    Peace, God alone I serve, to Him I will return. God bless you Of the people there are some who say "We believe in Allah and the Last Day". Peace good logic, Do you think the matter ends with this proclamation, since they have not mentioned anything about the "Messenger idol" as you put. You said what these people have said. But strangely, Allah the Exaluted rules about them oppositely "But the position is that in truth and entailment they are certainly not the believers." Why? Ponder

    The basic meaning of a verb is based on the root word / letters, not on the verbal noun http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_verbs You may have learnt Arabic in that order, starting from verbal nouns, but the root of a verb is not the verbal noun itself. You are again wrongly perceiving what is stated there in the link. "The root communicates the basic meaning of the verb, e.g. k-t-b 'write'". It is not saying that verb is made from the Root. The Root is the Origin of all words in Arabic minus articles. Meanings of a verb necessarily contains the basic meanings of the Root. Verb has few more things in its meanings.

    Exactly, what 'OR' from what. 'From' is not always required, especially if you are using it in the imperative sense of 'Shun' as in verse 434. Hence, it will read 'shun them'. Except he did not write the fourth form with , you are only imagining it there. I hope you know about what meanings are and how meanings are reflected or derived from the words. In the types of meaning we find "presupposed meanings"; they are inherent in the word. Taj first mentions the real-world experience and then gives you the example of two verbs of this Root. It tells you about altering the direction of a thing from its existing direction or placement. Please try to understand by keeping in mind the basic principles of writing; conjunction waw therein associates unho to both the verbs. without "Aen" will not convey complete sense.

    I agree with Mazhar with this, by looking the usage of that phrase in other verses. http//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=zyd#(25819) Peace be with you

    Salamun alaika, My pleasure. The skill to translate is hardwired in our brains by the Grace of Allah the Exalted. When we understand a speech or text in our mother language, that is because of the translation the hardwired system did for us. Translating text of another language is also a skill. One can learn it very quickly by writing down the hardwired mechanism in the form of rules or principles. One need not be a linguist for translating the text of Qur'aan. There were hardly a few linguists in the long list of translators of Qur'aan. I hope it encourages you to undertake the task of translating and understanding the Qur'aan by your own effort. You are most welcome to contact on skype mazharanurani Thanks again brother, and yes I am encouraged! I'm setting aside a few hours of each day to study Qur'aanic Arabic, and thank you for the skype invite but I am using my sisters computer which is quite slow and she doesn't want skype on it - but I would like to talk through PM's and I have a FB. Peace be upon you and God bless you brother.

    salaam aqua, Your article suffers from multiple problems as highlighted here http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9599954.msg347142#msg347142 "withdraw/turn away / go away from them" Requires the tashkeel of present day Arabic Quran to be incorrect This alleged usage in 434 occurs in 435 with the preposition "Aan", thus making Quran seems inconsistent IF it did mean that in 434 No identical example of this DRB usage in Quran No explanation of how the authority are notified It is unclear to what extent one separates, how they can do so without being unjust etc No supporting marital example in Quran My view Impractical result when inserted into 4128-130 and somehow requires iAAradan to be a positive thing and potentially makes Drb/3rD similar "cite them" www.Quran434.com Works perfectly with the tashkeel in the present day Arabic Quran Several identical examples of this DRB usage in Quran, including when humans are the direct object as in 434 Explains how the authority is notified by 435, and provides perfect logical/sequential coherence DRB use is clear and simple to implement practically 581-4 provides perfect coherence in terms of marital example When inserted into 4128-130 provides a complementary practical and coherent solution In fact there were more issues in your article. If you begin your own thread for your article I'd be happy to highlight them for you to respond to. Interestingly, in your work you do not reference www.Quran434.com where you clearly got a lot of information from.

    Peace be upon you. For me it would seem it goes like this IF reciting/reading the Qur'an, either in our heads or out loud then we should read the Qur'an as it is - therefore, if we are reading that Surah then we would read Bismillahi Rahmaanir Raheem, Qul hu Allahu ahat, Allahus samat, lamulit wa lamulat, wa lam yakularu kufuwan ahat (excuse my errors) Whereas the instruction is clear "SAY He is God, the One" therefore, if anybody asks us about God then SAY to them He is God, the One, The self-sustaining Master whom all creatures need but He doesn't need them" This is just what seems correct to me, but ask God directly to make things clear to you - He has ALL the power. May God increase us in knowledge and understanding. Peace be upon you.
