    if the hands of men corrupt something you can compare it to an uncorrupted thing and see the difference also consider the praiseworthy ones (Prophet muhammad) 's struggle... it would none the less make it easy if it brings object from corrupters and sorts out the believers from those who are not. look at the stories of these books, the torah the injil, or the more common story of Prophet musa (the honorable one) who brought down laws on tablets while the people were again volating what they had before. just be glad ALLAH sent something true for the guidance of men you have the real to compare other things too.

    Peace Noon waalqalami I thank God for your reply ) Thus I find it hard to understand the meaning in the tanslation you gave. Is there an easier one? But the essence should be that in this case, that the shares given in 411 and 412 are not valid in this case. Therefore they share the rest equally. Did I got that right? But again, is this stated? I see there is a long thread, you been working on a lot. I will (God willing) try to continue there next time. May God lead us, for his glory. Peace NielsJacob It has to do with definition of walad and we know from 411 that either sex is included. 411 directs you the god in awldikum/children yours Likewise with cross-reference we know yakun can refer to either sex. 2196 ... to whom not yakun/that be family his present Likewise with cross-reference we know that ? family his? includes females 2932 and family his except lady his be she (f/s) from the remain behind Whereas kana/be he (m/s) always refers to masculine Example Case 3 daughters, husband 411 so if kunna/be they (f/p) nisan/womenfolk above two (f) so for them (f/p) third dual (1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3) 412 and for you half what left spouses yours if not yakun/that be for them walad (if no child 1/2) so if kana/be (m/s) for them walad so for you the fourth Therefore husband share is left variable/undefined this particular case and gets 1/3 remainder. 1/2 if no child = false 1/4 if son = false That?s only non-contradicting reading far as I know for all combinations without surplus/deficit. Contradiction excess 2/3 + 1/4 = 0.9167 1/2 if no child = false 1/4 if child = true Contradiction deficit 2/3 + 1/2 = 1.1667 1/2 if no son = true 1/4 if son = false 4176 ... shows the god for you lest stray yeh and the god in every thing knower

    You can check Lane's Lexicon here I can't link to the specific page, but it's on page 2785. You're looking for the singular (Nas2 &#1569 and not the plural (nisaa2) Also the word for 'woman' is Imra2ah (&#1577 and is used frequently in the Quran

    Women BF for two years and wean for 22 months after BF is completed. It's simple and since father should finance mother even if they are divorced that is why the weaning period is defined so financing couldn't be abused, in my opinion.

    Salaam ths First I clarify if I'm not hate Arab at all.I have some friends in my country whose had Arabic bloodline (Yemeni Arab). http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Indonesians Btw thanks for clarify, actually I'm not thorough when searching in Lane. But be careful if Lane Lexicon isn't entirely provide literal meaning, some of it's explanation contains common intepretation. Myself even didn't found this word in classical dictionaries. Now I agree if that word means "nomad", but is that "nomad" is bedouian themself?

    Peace Yuliana Unfortunately you gave no diacritic into that word. If we input the diacritic - Aalihii = divine, godlike (adjective) Ilahi = my god (ilah = god and hi is pronoun of anta/my) I also checked in baheeth.com if the word seems more close to "my god" in Classical Arab. Don't know, but maybe other members have more opinion.

    I do not understand why we have to go to a particular place to serve God. Saudi Arabia is rich because of Hajj/Umra and oil.
  • Obey - Obedience ?What is wrong with it?

    Peace, About the context regarding "obey", We are to be obedient only to God. Do we have two lords? We are to obey God and his messenger and those in authority over us as per Quran. When obedience in deen is decreed it is to obey God. If we were to obey Muhammed the human being,(not the messenger), we were to frown at the poor, fear the people instead of God and prohibit what God did not. We are required to obey the messenger, because it is the message (QURAN) that made the obedience a requirement, not the person, Muhammed, that made it a requirement. In the four ayats that Muhammad is mentioned not once does it state that Muhammad the person is to be obeyed 3144, 3340, 472 and 4829. The distinction must be made between Muhammad the person and the messenger, notice ayat 33/30-31 does not say husband or Muhammad but messenger (the message is to be obeyed)! O wives of the prophet, if any of you commits gross sin, the retribution will be doubled for her. This is easy for God to do. Any one of you who obeys God and His MESSENGER, and leads a righteous life, we will grant her double the recompense, and we have prepared for her a generous provision. 2/116 They say, " Allah has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are devoutly obedient (qanituna) to Him. Soldiers obey their chiefs. Because the relationship between them is one of subordination to the orders of the hyerarchical superior. But in order to say, speaking of some specific action "the soldier obeyed the chief", then the chief must have given an order. Authority notice during war as huruf has stated, soldiers have generals who give orders, these orders are not religious directives but war tactics. Muhammad the general and his lieutenants were to be obeyed. Furthermore Muhammad did not make religious laws. In ayat 4/34 since it is a religious directive (from God) the obedience is to God alone. Conclusion When ayats directing us to be obedient in our religion, that obedience is to God alone Religious duties = obey God Non religious duties = obey Muhammad (during his lifetime) and those in authority. God bless peace

    SHAFA'AT for the Last Ummah from the Rasool....!!! Read from Verse 53 of chapter 7.........this Verse talks about the Kuffaar who rejected Allah's Message that the Rasool brought for them, and for whom amusement and play was their religion, they used to ridicule Islam........these are the people who would look for any Shafa'at for themselves on Al Qiyamah. -----"Are they waiting except for its fulfillment. On the day when comes the fulfillment thereof, those who were forgetful thereof before will say ?Indeed, the messengers of our Lord did come with the truth. So are there any intercessors for us, so they might intercede for us. Or could we be sent back, so that we might do (good) deeds other than those (evil) deeds which we used to do.? Indeed, they have lost their own selves, and has gone away from them that which they used to fabricate." (7 53) Read the Quran completely.........you will never find a Verse where momineen are looking for Shafa'at......it is the Kuffaar who fabricate a concept of Shafa'at and believe in it........and of course rely on it, and thus indulge in Shirk, Kufr and Sins. So.......according to the above quoted Verse........only the kuffaar, mushrikeen and sinners believe and rely on Shafa'at........and these are ones who will look for a Rasool or someone to do Shafa'at for them. Al Quran is so Clear on this matter............and on all matters.

    Personally I think Elohim is equal with the word Allah not Illah. There is none in Hebrew called my-Ellohim, your-Ellohim as well as Allahiya (my Allah), Allahikum (your Allah), but illah-iya, illah-ikum. Hope you understand what I mean.

    1817 "Whomever God guides is the truly guided one, and whomever He sends astray, you will not find for him a guiding teacher". Peace In other words - one will never know - who or who isn't rightly guided - and there is no criteria for measurement either!

    Hai, I just want to quote something from Bible. Bakah is the another name for Makkah as it is mentioned in Quran (396) , actually Bakah is the ancient name for Makkah.Refer http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakkah .Now refer Bible Pslam 846, mentioned the name Bakah. But the bible translators refer this name as ''weeping valley'', but you cannot find such weeping valley no where else in Bible. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

    See ? I have proven this so many times . . . countless and beyond any doubt You are a hypocrite and a coward . . keep on running like a zebra , and Keep on deceiving yourself because no one is fooled by your deceptions . . The facts are . . you cannot answer the questions and know nothing about Islam People from all over the world and even the Muslim communities hates your Islam . . . simple because it is not Islam . . but it is the Today's People of the Scripture Islamic Version . . The true Islam should bring peace to humanity, and not chaos or opposing justice in humanity ! (sectarianism) Looks like they (regardless of religions) know more about Islam , more than you know about Islam . . Shame on you ! Therefore you are an embarrassment to Islam and you humiliate Allah as equal to Dajjal but claimed yourself as pure. . You are disgusting !

    Peace. What exactly is 3110 saying regarding the sky? "Khalaqa alssamawati bighayri 'amadin tarawnaha" Bighayri as far as I understand means "not with" or "without". 'Amadin seems to be "pillars" or "columns" Tarawnaha means "that you see" So, is this verse saying the sky is built with invisible pillars i.e. "with pillars that you cannot see"? Perhaps I'm having a mental block; sometimes the language of the Qur'an is confusing as it is often uses negatives. Peace He created the heavens without pillars that you can see. http//2.bp.blogspot.com/_wTzy_DEh5O4/TOjmUDLllnI/AAAAAAAAAAo/wbB01WLV4_8/s320/magnetism2.jpg Invisible gravity and magnetism has been main core of my question from propel with books when they refer to words, I was asking if they can show a sign like falling apple due to invisible gravity or invisible magnetic line which cause compass to show NS prior to reciting the messages. I found this sign in Miracle and later discovered that Quran is only scripture demonstrate its divinity prior to read the messages just by book index . ) How ever God knows all knowledge we have with less than 10% of granted brain capacity, imagine if those atoms of Gravity or Magnetism was colored like fog then we could not see anything Peace.
