Questions/Comments on the Quran

Peace Timor Yeah, right, because a muslim is a peacemaker and a mumin is a believer. Believe is not required for being a muslim according to 4914, please see http//www.quran4peace.org/documents/Quran4peace-English-part2.pdf Nice link. That made my day ) Do you know if there is more. Since I couldn?t find more.

Welcome back Israfeel! This is one of few things I agree with you yay I am actually a skeptic but I believe the hell mentioned in the Qur'an is literal. thanks

Peace All. !Hikma" is not claiming you know it or have it.Just use it in your life Peace all.

Finally, after some minutes for getting disussion via facebook with my fellow, I got some clearness in the first question. My first Question http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9606071.msg344019#msg344019 THE ANSWER Actually Al-Kitab in 22 doesn't mean book or Quran, but surat/chapter, the proof is Verse 27 28-31 2728 ?Take this letter (kitab) of mine and cast it to them, then withdraw from them and observe what they respond with.? 2729 She said ?O commanders, a noble letter (kitab) has been delivered to me.? 2730 ?It is from Solomon, and it reads ?In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful?? 2731 ??Do not be arrogant towards me and come to me as submitters?? In that verses, the Arabic word of "letter" is Kitab actually. How can Kitab in 2728-29 translated into letter? Is it againts Arabic rules? I think not, now open verse 98 2 & 3 982 A messenger from God reciting purified scripts. 983 In them are valuable Chapters/Kitabun . If we translate Kitabun (plural) as Books, then it will be strange, because Quran is one book with many surats/chapters. This Kitab = surat/chapter of course also match with verses 2728-29. Conclusion if we use this intepretation in 23-4, result 22 That is the Chapter in which there is no doubt, a guidance for the righteous. 23 Those who believe in the unseen, and hold the contact prayer, and from Our provisions to them they spend. 24 And those who believe in what was sent down (chapters) to you, and what was sent down before you, and regarding the Hereafter they are certain. Both Al-kitab in 22 and phrase "what was sent down" in 24 are chapters. Chronologially is Muhammad received the new chapters of Quran in 22, and he already hold some chapters before (24). This also supported by verse 17106 which said if Quran sent down gradually/piece by piece. This the result for our discussion, maybe members in here have another views. Now please help me in http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9606071.msg344152#msg344152 May God bless u

Dreams could be regarded as signs of God. It is a miraculous event. I agree, may God bless you to brother!

Greetings and Peace, all group Oops, yes, I misread. I thought that Birdy was the brother. Apologies for inadvertently misleading. Thank you, Noon waalqalami, for catching my error. Your examples are cogent--but fairness and justice must also enter into the equation. Peace Abdul-Hadi, you're welcome. Verses are clear and without a will have to be followed as stated not changed to what seems fair according to people. A "half brother" is no less a brother; certainly he only had one father and is also grieving. A stepchild or adopted child is no less a child/sibling. It could be considered an injustice to exclude the brother; he did not choose to be a half-brother. Justice and fairness are more important than material things. AQ does not exclude half brothers--that is from tradition. Please re-read what I've posted, the step-brother only inherits from his father not from his stepmother. If both parents perished together (intestate), then division would be 50% for the brother and 25% for each sister--BEFORE justice and fairness comes into play. Such division would be considered unfair today, and based on 2182 (and other verses) equal distribution would be the most fair. If there is not a will, the most fair thing to do (if all children have equal means and needs) is to distribute the estate equally. Funeral expenses and debts are paid from the estate before division, of course. Please re-read, the above is imprecise and not according to Qur'an. If they perished together Birdy and her sister equally divide or inherit their mother's property. Birdy, her sister, and their half-brother inherit their father's property. (411) E.g. house value $960k equally owned by both parents, then $240k to birdy from mother $240k to sister from mother $240k to half-brother from father $120k to birdy from father $120k to sister from father Peace with you all, sun thank you gentlemen for the clarification. I do understand how to divide the heir, but I don't know now how my brother and sister will response to this. Peace Birdy, What's yours is yours; theirs is theirs; after division each is free to do what they like with their shares.

Now now, no need to retaliate after your confession, I only agreed with you God bless peace Salaam, Yes I understand from your point of view why there is no need, but I still like to know the answer to my question if you want to share it of course. Salaam, Bender

Just wanted to add my unrefined and incomplete thoughts on this. "What they accumulate" can according to me indicate things connected to the following concepts hoarding, and forgetting balance, generosity, redistribution and circulation believing you achieved something on your own, forgetting how things work (that you cannot do ANYTHING without the mercy of The Creator) material things, or even skills based on brain power or the body... i.e. all temporary and "perishable" things... disconnected or below wisdom. lack of gratitude But, bounties of Allah can be anything, including material things, but the difference is actually your perception or relationship to the things you acquire. It has a lot to do with your gratitude and wisdom and realizing that all of this world will go away. Peace Much better way of saying what i failed to try and say Zulf xD thanks ). peace

"Shabbat is primarily a day of rest and spiritual enrichment. The word "Shabbat" comes from the root Shin-Beit-Tav, meaning to cease, to end, or to rest." In scripture is another trap of selective translation. Translation is like glowes. But the best feel is without them. Those who know do not translate. They rewrite. And the right combination of words arrives to the perfect essence. Praise be to the God of Presence. Peace, R. So what is the right combination of words "which arrives to the perfect essence" Shin-Beit-Tav? Why do you write the hint and not give the solution or explanation? Thanx

All the best for you too, in sha Allah Salaam

Salaam sister, Sure. You can use it if you want. Glad someone appreciates it. I composed it for a demonstration in another thread to which there is a link in a previous post. God bless you

The changing of the mwaning of words in common use thorugh time is something we see continuously in avery language that I know of. Yes I aware about this. "Change the meaning" can be possible if the real meaning didn't synchronous with the ayat.

I believe if members are Quranic expert, but I has no answers until now. But now I already have a answer via discussion with local Quranist Thanks for not answering

Salaam Ane ngerti coz ane pernah ngalami hal yang sama, mungkin lebih parah. Ane dulu sering dimarahi dan dipukul oleh ortu, dan sekarang sering misskomunikasi dengan ortu. Ane gak bohong http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9605276.0 Salaam. Jadi itu post dari Ega Peace, bukan dari antoborn ya. Mengingatkan saya tentang masa lalu, dulu waktu SD saya juga pernah sempat di-bully. Saya kadang merasa benci dengan ortu, tapi ane sadar sebenarnya ortu itu sayang sama kita. Mungkin sebenarnya, Earthdom bukan kadang merasa benci dengan ortu, tapi kadang merasa kesal pada mereka. Saya tidak membenci orang tua saya, inshaAllah. Kalau kesal tentu pernah, kesal dalam berbagai tingkat kekesalan. Saya sayang pada mereka, tapi memang ada banyak hal-hal berat yang saya alami di keluarga. Karena jiwa saya sering merasa luka dan sendirian, jadi saya berusaha mencari teman yang paling bisa diandalkan, yaitu Allah. Jadi saya pikir, ujian yang saya alami inshaAllah ada hikmahnya. Saya rasa Allah menempa saya untuk bisa lebih sabar dan terus bersabar sampai pertolongan Allah tiba. Saya belajar dari Qur'an untuk bisa lebih sabar. Kalau kita banyak mengalah dan sabar, inshaAllah sikap orangtua juga melunak. But once again, saya tidak bersifat memaksa atau mengajak, saya hanya berusaha memberitahu saja. Peace peace Ya. Terima kasih, dik Ega. Jadi diskusi di sana lebih damai dan lebih akur daripada di sini ya. AlhamduliAllah. Kayaknya kita udah off topic banget, nih... P Salaam.

Allaah says in the Quraan It is He Who has sent down to you (O Prophet &#1605 the Book. In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking tribulation, and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allaah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say "We believe in it; the whole of it is from our Lord." And none receive admonition except men of understanding. So with regard to the letters that appear at the beginning of several Surahs, they are from the Mutashaabihaat (the ambiguous or unclear verses). No one knows their meaning except Allaah. We believe in them and believe it is from our Lord. However, those people who have a disease in their heart will try to explain the meaning of these letters or try to interpret them. Allaah warns against such a thing, because only Allaah knows what they mean. A certain astray sect from the 72 misguided sect, known as the Asharis, claim that although the Quraan is the Speech of Allaah, Allaah does not speak with letters or sound. They claim that Allaah's speech is Nafsani (internal), and it is not a speech which can be heard, or which consists of letters. This deviant and severely misguided belief is refuted by the fact that the letters "Alif Laam Meem", "Qaaf", "Saad", "Ta-Ha", "ya Seen", etc., are part of the Quraan, and therefore part of Allaah's Speech, which clearly prove that Allaah's speech does indeed consist of letters. There is NO full stop after Allah. Check the original text. Thus the meaning has now changed to those who possess knowledge WILL be able to understand the meaning of these allegorical/multiple-meaning verses. Please read Page 85 of Quran A Reformist Translation.

Peace All God willing this link could be of help http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9604771.210

Actually the answer is simple. Ayman or yamiin literally means right, right hand or oath. Why ayman doesn't mean slave?? "And tell the believing females to lower their gaze and keep covered their private parts, and that they should not reveal their beauty except what is apparent, and let them put forth their shawls over their cleavage. And let them not reveal their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or the sons of their brothers, or the sons of their sisters, or their women, or those maintained by their oaths, or the male servants (taabi'i/) who are without need." taabi'i/ literaly means disciple, follower, but it also have alternative meaning like "subject, vassal, dependent, appendant, subservient, tributary". I mean taab'i can also be mean servant or slave like "abdi". So if we translate "ayman" as slave, indeed there will be a pleonasm/repetition. Peace.

Thank you Let go everything and let God on everything.

The corporeal Journey far beyond the ascensions of Earthly Universe Unique Night Journey The Purpose of Unique Night Journey The Destination of Journey The Night Journey beyond the Terminus of Earthly Universe was corporeal. Ascension had no negative effect on visual faculty of the Elevated Messenger We do not belong to this Universe comprising of Earth and the Sky layered into seven segments. Our origin is partly terrestrial since some constituent elements are earthly but the primary and vital element is water which is extraterrestrial matter, flash descended in measured quantity and stored in the Earth . We came into existence in areas beyond the space of Universe of Earth and Skies. However, a happening caused us to leave that place and we came down to the Earth. Perhaps, all those present on the Earth would have observed, for the first time, a UFO-Unidentified foreign object landing with the first Man and the First Lady on board as governors enjoying discretionary powers to self administer their affairs . A question might come to mind. Has someone traveled to Foreign Domain ever since Man landed on the Earth? Allah the Exalted affirmatively informs ..... The Destination of Famous Night Journey Allah the Exalted breaks a news for humanity and thereafter provides them the updates. The breaking news in the Ayah understudy is that the Elevated Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam was made to travel from within the Sacred Mosque in Mecca in upward direction towards the Extreme Distant Altitude Mosque. This signifies that there is no other mosque higher in altitudes. The purpose of this journey was to bring to his observation the Greatest Existent amongst the Miscellany of Physical realm created by Allah the Exalted. What was the destination of this journey? Where was he Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam taken to highest and farthest altitude? What were the physical experiences, state and reactions of his sensory organs? Allah the Exalted has given us the updates about this breaking news The Night Journey beyond frontiers of Earthly Universe was corporeal
