    So Arabic grammarians explain what a noun of time/place is and give examples. They discuss exceptions (e.g. masjid). I provided Quran examples of each in my article. You do not comment on any Quranic examples or what any Arabic grammarian said and make the baseless claim a 3rd time "masjid is a location noun / masjid is a noun of place". Let me help you out before you repeat your baseless claim a 4th time... A more accurate reply from you would have been to say it can theoretically be a noun of time or place but in my understanding it is a noun of place. You did not answer my question on the houses formation again. I wonder why. What is Aramaic or Hebrew for time of prayer? Do they have similar to Arabic word forms, e.g. maf3il, maf3al ? Since you claim your view is Quran based please give your clearest examples from Quran where the form maf3il (i.e. same form as masjid) means place. The beauty of my article is I provide a checklist anyone can run their understanding through to see what issues come up, e.g. I point out what verses may cause issues for each understanding. Of course you did not address any of the issues and then claim with confidence you are right. God knows best.

    I think it is appropriate to place this verse as well under this topic.. So, here we go.. 1087 "And We instilled to Musa and his brother that 'to steady your (dual) citizens (kawm) with indulgence (Misr) of awakenings (buyut) and, to make your awakenings centralization (Qibla) and, uphold the interaction and be in touch to the faithful ones.' It suggests the importance of focusing on or centering the "awakenings" (or the awareness or spiritual insights). It could imply that the collective understanding or consciousness should be unified and directed towards a central purpose or goal. In other words, it emphasizes the idea of unity and centralizing efforts on spiritual or societal goals. The overall message seems to emphasize spiritual leadership and community-building, guiding followers to awaken spiritually, maintain unity, and foster meaningful connections with fellow believers. The leaders (Musa and his brother) are encouraged to help their people stay grounded and centered while also upholding the importance of interaction and communication with the faithful. This could apply to leading a community with awareness, unity, and mutual support, promoting collective spiritual or social growth.

    Hi good logic, But Qoran as a whole does not/ has no abrogation of its verses. You were really focus on that point. As I mention at the beginning of this post, my conclusion from the textual analysis of the Quranic verse does not justify the theory of abrogation of the Quran by the Quran itself, as suggested by tradition. Therefore, we agree on this point. handshake Peace be upon you.

    Rhetorical question is a device used to persuade and subtly influence the audience. It is a question not asked for the answer, but for the effect. It is used to emphasize a point or just to get the audience thinking. It is a very powerful persuasive and thought provoking tool. Hypophora rhetoric is when the speaker asks the audience a question and then immediately answers the question. It is immediately clarified what is referred by those words The original text of Qur’ān is stated as inscribed on (لَوْحٛ) a wide and thin, gleamed and glistened plate which is all time safe (مَّحْفُوظِۭ). Both the books, Mother/Principal Book and Qur’ān, share the qualitative attribute of explicitly explicative—conveyor of information in succinct, individuated, distinct and crystallized manner, functioning like an exegete. It reveals it has distinct chapters which in itself constitute a book of distinct concept. The biographies of different type of peoples are assigned distinct name and how are they penned is disclosed which further confirms that the Principal Book is in the language resembling the code language of the Computer كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٟبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّيـنٛ ٧وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّيـنٚ ٨كِتَٟبٚ مَّرْقُومٚ ٩ Nay, that will not avail; the fact is that the Book/biography of fearless transgressors/wicked is detailed in that given the title Sijjeen — And what is that which could give you the perception as to what is Sijjeen — That is a book which has the characteristic of written with dots. 24.21. As against the Book of the people who will be imprisoned in the Hell-Prison, the biographies of those destined to Paradise is in separate Book recorded in the same manner كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٟبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّيـنَ١٨وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ١٩كِتَٟبٚ مَّرْقُومٚ ٢٠ Nay, indeed the Book/biography of the pious is certainly incorporated in Illiyin — And what is that which could give you the perception as to what is Illiyun — That is a book (record of elevated/honoured people) which has the characteristic of written with dots — 24.22. The last elliptical sentence (كِتَٟبٚ مَّرْقُوم) with subject elided described how those books are penned/inscribed. Passive participle as adjective is descriptive term for the said book from Root ر ق م which embeds the perception of streak, calligraphy, penmanship and writing and that which resembles it; writing with dots or points.

    Here's a more detailed analysis of the third part (verses 27-29) of the second section of Surah 81, to eliminate any doubt about the expression "Rabb al-'âlamîn" The passage consists of two bimembral segments (27-28, 29a-b). The first segment (27-2 defines the Quranic word as a Reminder for those who want to stand upright, meaning those who wish to walk on "the straight path," which the Quran precisely recalls (the verb yastaquîma, "he stands upright," inevitably evokes al-sirât al-mustaquîm, "the straight path" of Al-Fâtiha, 16). The synonymy "for humans" / "for whoever among you" acts as a median term linking the two members of the segment. 27 This is but a Reminder for humans, 28 for whoever among you will to stand upright. The last segment (29 a-b) is a theological aphorism that concludes Surah 81. The verb "to will" is the median term linking the two members. 29a And you do not will b except that Allah wills, the Master of mankind. The two segments are arranged in a chiasmus A This is but a Reminder for HUMANS (al-'âlamîn), B for whoever among you will to stand upright B' and you do not will A' except that Allah wills, the Master of HUMANS (al-'âlamîn). The outer members (AA&#39 end with the term "humans"; they frame two forms of the verb "to will," whose subject ("whoever," "you&quot refers to the believer(s) (BB&#39. Members 27 and 29b are symmetrical, which leads to understanding 'âlamîn in 27 in the same way as in 29b.

    Further explanation regarding the word al-Samad interpretative as "The Rock" in verse Several terms connect the last two surahs of the Quran to the previous one, acting as mediating terms between two sections of the text (surahs 113 and 114 forming a separate pair of surahs -> a whole section). The same imperative "Say" (1131; 1141 and 1121) introduces the three surahs. They include the names of "God" (Allâh, 1122; 1143) and its equivalent "Master" (Rabb, 1131 and 1141). But more significant is the synonymous correspondence between the expression "I seek refuge with the Master" (1131 and 1141) and the term al-Samad (1122), which we have seen refers to the divine metaphor of the "Rock," precisely meaning "The One in whom one seeks refuge in times of need." This correspondence provides a new argument for interpreting the enigmatic term samad in this sense. Furthermore, after defining Himself as the "Rock" in , the Quran specifies in the following two surahs (113 and 114) what this refuge consists of surah 113 deals with listing external evils to Man and surah 114 internal evils. Finally, let us note that the symbolic notion of God as a "Rock" is also found in the Psalms (622; 183) and Deuteronomy (324 and 3231-39) NB Read more about Semitic rhetoric here The_Semitic_rhetoric_in_the_Koran_and_a_Pharaonic_papyrus

    //Nisa Allah instructs you concerning your children For the male, a share equal to that of two females.// Defective/wanting translation will always lead to faulty perception. Inheritance from biological parents to biological children يُوصِيكُـمُ ٱللَّهُ فِـىٓ أَوْلَٟدِكُمْۖ In semantics First is surface structure and choice of specific words. Prepositional Phrase coupled with Possessive Phrase فِـىٓ أَوْلَٟدِكُمْ is an indivisible Unit of the sentence. Preposition is adverbial and relates to the preceding Verbal sentence. The subsequent information and the Preposition vividly expresses that the permanently binding instructions relate to distribution of the wealth of the deceased amongst the Offspring (biological children), comprising of female and male gender. In consideration of the second Pronoun of the Possessive Phrase being Definite the First Noun is also definite like- ٱلْأَوْلَٟدِ a broken plural feminine noun denoting the offspring, signifying daughters, or the grouped offspring comprising of daughters and sons. Therefore, while reading subsequent clauses, this fact must not slip attention that focus of speech is the Offspring (plural noun) ٱلْأَوْلَٟدِ It is broken paucity plural feminine noun but grammatically it is used both feminine singular and plural. The superb choice of أَوْلَٟدِكُمْ reflects to us the beauty of succinctness in the Qur’ān. Singular and Plural feminine hidden Pronouns in subsequent Verbs in the text could refer back to it, affording economy. Inattention to this fact is usually the cause of misconceptions about inheritance.

    As humans, we can only be certain of two things, 1) direct experience, and 2) لا اله الا الله . It appears that the first generation of believers produced copies of the Quran at least within decades of the messenger's death (as evidenced by radio-carbon dated manuscripts and palaeography). What did the Quran look like before this time? Was it merely oral? Was it written down? It is not known. The first copies of the Quran were probably produced in western Arabia by teams of scribes working together (as evidenced by the different handwritings that exist within some of the same manuscripts). But what were the first copies made from, i.e. what were they copied from? It is not known for certain, however, van Putten has shown in his paper “The Grace of God” as evidence for a written Uthmanic archetype (2019) that most or all copies of the first generation were made from a single "master copy" which he calls the "Uthmanic archetype." It appears that scribes of the Quran made their copies directly from previous copies, i.e. they didn't make copies of the Quran based on oral dictation (as evidenced by anomalous spellings in the same surahs and ayahs). There are exceptions to this, such as Is 1414, which is a manuscript held at the Chester Beatty library in Dublin. It seems to follow a different tradition or maybe it is an innovative copy that spells words in a way that doesn't match other manuscripts before its time. Over the centuries, one can expect that aberrations will occur in spelling, e.g. maybe a scribe will choose a spelling that matches the prevailing reading of his town, or maybe there will be an honest mistake in spelling, or maybe there will be a mistake in interpreting the text, etc etc etc. This is how errors build up. Ultimately, we reach the early 1900s when AlAzhar University commissioned a group of scholars to produce an 'authoritative' copy of the written Quran for the reading of Hafs via Asim. However, they did not rely entirely on manuscipt evidence, instead, they relied on the works of orthography produced by classical scholars. These classical scholars did amazing work, however, they did not have access to the breadth of evidence available to us today. Naturally, the scholars of AlAzhar produced a copy of the Quran which was a mix of real historical spelling practices and innovated traditional practices. This copy is now known in secular academia as the Cairo Edition, and it is the copy that exists around the world in everyone's home. The aim of uuq114.org is to gather and merge every accessible manuscript of the Quran that is safely dateable to the period before 1200 CE so that one would be in a good position to propose what the 'original' or 'first' Quran looked like. As for the traditional narratives of Uthman burning aberrant copies of the Quran, or Hudhayfa appealing to Uthman to produce a definitive copy of the Quran, or the story of the believers who knew the Quran by heart being killed in battle etc etc, these stories surrounding the compilation of the Quran are unverifiable. I've not read the work by Karim. As long as it is an academic work, and not a work that blindly adheres to Sunni convention, then go for it! Otherwise, I recommend the following (1) On the language of the Quran Quranic Arabic From Its Hijazi Origins to Its Classical Reading Traditions, Marijn van Putten, 2022 (2) On the message of the Quran Qur'an A Historical-Critical Introduction, Nicolai Sinai, 2018 As for Quranic orthography and Quranic readings, I have not come across any contemporary academic works that are devoted entirely to each of these fields that are worth recommending. There is a work by Shady Nasser of Harvard University The Transmission of the Variant Readings of the Qurʾān (2012), but it leaves much to be desired. Even the work by van Putten I listed above (which does cover the readings) only superficially explores the readings, and I have observed patent errors in his work. Sorry, long post!

    This is a tricky topic. When it comes to genetic manipulation, I think we need to be really careful. There’s so much we still don’t fully understand about how altering genes could affect things down the line, both in terms of individuals and future generations. I’ve always felt that there’s a fine line between progress and unintended consequences. Personally, I’d like to see more focus on ethical guidelines and long-term studies before we dive deeper into these technologies. It’s exciting to think about what we could achieve, but at the same time, there’s a lot of responsibility that comes with it.

    can you address the problems with my translation? I am seeing three different scenarios, First is participating in Hajj without any delay, and shaving the heads only after the sacrifice reaches its destination, if cannot do the head shaving, then fasting or extra offering in ransom. Second is prevented in traveling to Hajj and arriving after the Hajj, and thats Umrah as they had put extra effort. Third is returning back without participating or unable reach the masjid al haram, which can be satisfied with fasting.

    Creation and Literary Creation - the Book Are the Source of transmitting Knowledge 4.1. In Arabic the semantic frame "Creation" is embedded in Root خ ل ق. Ibn Faris in his famous lexicon مقاييس اللغة stated "الخاء واللام والقاف أصلان أحدهما تقدير الشيء، والآخر مَلاسَة الشيء" That it signifies the act of determining the measures and proportionality of a thing to other things, and then smoothness of the object". Its general perception and meanings as create - creation are well known. The basic perception is that of the idea and intention of giving existence to the intended object. Thus the thing is created and exists firstly in Abstract Realm - thought of the sentient before it takes existence in the Physical Realm, the observable domain, in Arabic ٱلْعَٟلَمِيـنَ (regular plural active participle), the existent domains that impart knowledge to observer interested in seeking knowledge shared by the Creator. The words that stem from this Root are result oriented. The irreducible semantic features of this Root are (1) A living - sentient who is the creator of the object; (2) The will - decision taken by the living to create; (3) The purpose or the desire Creator has in mind to create the object; (4) For what or for whom it is meant; (5) Idea - blue print - determination of measures and proportionality of the thing to other things that creates interrelationships before the object takes existence; (6) The appearance, shape and picture the object would look like for cognition and perception building; (7) The span of time it will continue to exist or live. ( Assigning a name to the object for its introduction, cognition and reference. 4.2. Creation is the desire and resolve of a living to manifest oneself and be acknowledged. Creation sets in sciences - knowledge. Resolve behind creation is communication. Communication needs "language". I understand "The desire of communicating is the origin of language, which is but vibration to influence, positively or negatively; and to attract to wholeness or disintegrate to fragments". Language is the principal means used by human beings to communicate and share information. It is the main tool of transmitting information containing ideas and perceptions. Perception is a neurological process of observation and interpretation; acquiring and mentally interpreting information from the senses. Perception and word of a language are compulsorily complementary. 4.3. Language is considered unique to humans. Communication via speech is considered a dividing line between humans and animals. What in reality is the language and speech? It is a stream of sound at intervals which is a vibration that typically propagates as pressure wave traveling though medium of air, liquid or solid; and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ears - auditory instrument. Thereby, in the meanings of communication and sociality, it is something common between humans and animals. The animals do have their own "languages" which are translatable, as disclosed by elevated Messenger of Allah the Exalted وَقَالَ يَـٰٓأَيُّـهَا ٱلنَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ ٱلطَّيْـرِ And he (Sulie'maan alai'his'slaam) said, "O people, we have been taught the language - communicating sounds of the birds — حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَـىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌۭ يَٟٓأَيُّـهَا ٱلنَّمْلُ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مَسَٟكِنَكُـمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُـمْ سُلَيْمَٟنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُـمْ لَا يَشْعُـرُونَ١٨ They marched until when they arrived upon the valley - colony of certain Ant species — She-Ant imperatively said, "O you the Ants listen! you (masculine plural -male and female ants) enter your respective dwellings - nests — Sulie'maan and his troops will not thenceforth crumble you; (otherwise you will get crumbled under their feet) while they will not even be aware of it". فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكٙا مِّن قَوْلِـهَا Thereon, having heard, he (Sulie'maan alai'his'slaam) smiled feeling amused by her commanding statement — 4.4. The Author has translated verbatim in Arabic the announcement of Queen-Aunt for the aunts on the open surface of the Earth. Today, we certainly know that Queen-Aunt communicates by chirping sounds which is their way of talking مَنطِقَ communicating. The difference between communicating phenomenon through sounds by humans and other things is perhaps of anatomy. The specific word for human language is associated with organs tongue and lips أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْـنِ٨ وَلِسَانٙا وَشَفَتَيْـنِ٩ Have Our Majesty not rendered two eyes as organs for observation for him (mankind) — And a tongue and two lips as speech organs-articulators? 4.5. The Arabic word لِسَانٌ (Root ل س ن) denotes both the tongue which is the main speech articulator, and the language. Ibn Faris stated it leads to the perception of something long and delicate, subtle, and fine, which is not broken whether relating to an organ, its part, or something different to it. And its well known signification is language and tongue. 4.6. We are aware materialistic philosophy and science has no sufficient explanation not only how speech came about, but also why there are so many different languages. Grand Qur’ān has given the humanity a clue to get to the origin of language and mystery of variety of languages by declaring ٱخْتِلَٟفُ أَلْسِنَتِكُـمْ the mutual variation and differences of your languages and mutual translatability as sign. Sign is the Indicator which exists as an indication of another's existence or another phenomenon, the Indicated. The sign for locating the origin of language is first cause, desire of the Sentient to create and communicate with the created realm. 4.7. Having known what language is; what are the anatomy and apparatuses required, and its mechanism; all these signs lead us to conclude and accept that the source and originator of language is but divine; the Creator and Setter of Sciences. 4.8. Aristotle placed the crucial condition "we have knowledge of a thing when we have grasped its cause". But language is for communication with the existent, and knowledge relates only to the existent, abstract or real. Thereby the language and creation are essentially complementary. Therefore, the initial cause is certain desire and intention of the Creator for the sake of which something is created. We proceed from effect - empirical - physical realm to find the cause of its existence, and when we can recognize the desire sought by its bringing into existence, it is only then we can say we have the knowledge of the thing. 4.9. Albert Einstein said; “Everything in Life is Vibration”. We live in the world of Words. We hear words, thereby we speak words. We see how words are written; thereby we write words with our hand. These are all apparent activity. Our non apparent world-Abstract Realm is also but words. We silently think by words, we ponder by words, and we reflect by words. We arrive at conclusions, decisions and thoughts which are but words. We see and perceive with closed eyes, all by words. Word is not only all around us but inwardly in every cell of us, for convenience of understanding let us equate it with vibration. Minus Word, We cease to exist. The moment we hear not Word, speak not word, read or write not word, or think not a word, "We" are no more cognizable to the majority. 4.10 We associate language and speech only to humans and animals and birds; but since it is sound and vibrations, may be every object that exists has a language and perceptive capability of its own that we understand not. What is harm or something extraordinary in presuming that vibrations and sound waves are a "language"? وَيُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَٱلْمَلَٟٓئِكَـةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِۦ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلصَّوَٟعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِـهَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَ هُـمْ يُجَٟدِلُونَ فِـى ٱللَّهِ وَ هُوَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْمِحَالِ١٣ And the thunder remains active in executing work with His glorifying praise and the Angels do so for fear of Him the Exalted. And He the Exalted sends the thunderclap, then for reason He strikes/makes it reach only to whom He wills. But despite it they wrangle about Allah the Exalted. Mind it, He the Exalted is the Mighty in the grapple. 4.11. The act "يُسَبِّحُ" performed by two entities is executing the assigned work "بِحَمْدِهِۦ" while praising and extolling the glory of Allah the Exalted. The first subject is "inanimate" noun (ٱلرَّعْدُ) meaning the noisy commotion and charged activity within the clouds that resembles threatening and frightening speech, and second is the animate creation, the Angels. It is specifically mentioned that every created entity repetitively expresses glorifying praise for Allah the Exalted تُسَبِّـحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٟوَٟتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ وَٱلۡأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيـهِنَّۚ وَإِن مِّن شَـىْءٛ إِلَّا يُسَبِّـحُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُـمْۗ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيـمٙا غَفُورٙا٤٤ The Seven Skies and the Earth and whoever is assigned and given permission for performing duties within them remain active in executing work for Him the Exalted repetitively hymning. And there is not a single object of existing matter but that remains active in executing work for Him the Exalted along with repetitive glorifying praise. But you people understand - comprehend - perceive not their praises. Indeed He the Exalted is eternally imperturbably over looking and forgiving. 4.12. The Earthly Universe comprises of seven Skies and the Earth which is likewise seven layered entity (6512) in such manner that a layer encases the other; the edges of both facing each other in exact equivalence (طِبَاقٙا 673). It is disclosed that they and all sentient managers appointed therein with assigned duties repetitively hymn for Him the Exalted. And same is the information with emphatic grammatical structure about every object that they regularly hymn. But we the human do not comprehend the content of their hymns. The act of hymning is obviously resulting of some level of consciousness. Thereby, everything that exists, matter and life, is endowed with consciousness in the meaning of state of being aware of, and responsive and responsible to one's surroundings. ثُـمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَـى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِىَ دُخَانٚ فَقَالَ لَـهَا وَ لِلْأَرْضِ ٱئْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًۭا قَالَتَآ أَتَيْنَا طَآئِعِيـنَ١١ Afterwards having created the Earth and its wherewithal He the Exalted attended-directed towards the Sky while she already existed in gaseous state. Thereby, He the Exalted decreed for her (the gaseous Sky ) and for the Earth solid mass-matter "You both develop relationship either of attraction-tug-pull or repulsion". They (Sky and the Earth both feminine) said "We have assembled like those who develop relationship of pull-affection-attraction desiring proximity". 4.13. It is explicit that at the time and during the creation of the Earth and insertion of other "imported" materials in it, like water, iron, dark matter, white light and tectonic plates, One Sky was already present in gaseous state. These were two independent components at that point in time. Allah the Exalted gave an option to the Sky and the Earth (both feminine objects) to make an assembly - a relationship either of attraction-tug, or repulsion. This shows that the matter too has some phenomenon of "consciousness - perception - intelligence". They, the two feminine (negative charge!) objects replied they have come like those who develop relationship of mutual pull-affection-attraction desiring proximity. 4.14. If one was to describe the entire field of epistemology in one word, it is ONTOLOGY, the word coming from the Greek, meaning "being, "that which is", present participle of the verb "be". It is the origin of Philosophy - Metaphysics, the "Existence". 4.15. For any action; the presence of the Being is understood. His act can yield another being. It will introduce second concept and a relationship; it is the second field of study in Metaphysics. It is the relationship between The First Being and the being caused by an act of the First Being. Thereby, the First Being can only be perceived and known as an Abstract, Absolute entity but cannot become the object of observation - a document (Library terminology), reason being He was not caused to be. 4.16. Many scientists naively make a patently unscientific statement that belief in Allah the Exalted (the God) is "blind faith". They forget that "blind faith" can never make anyone sincere to anything. It is self deception. Sincerity is always the end product of thoughtful processing, critically evaluating and arriving to conviction of it being infallible fact about an idea. They ask Does God Exist? If God does exist, has He revealed Himself? It is interesting that the first question posed in Qur’ān is addressed to the Atheists who believe not in the existence of Allah the Exalted (the God) . 4.17. They perceive the existence of sciences but strangely perceive not the existence of the setter of sciences. They even perceive not that the primal source of "information" and "knowledge" is always unitary and its sharing is volitional. And that it is the attribute of a Living and sciences are the manifestation of a Living Being. Science itself is the evidence of the Existence of their Setter. 4.18. What is the causative factor of information? It is the Will of a Living Who desires to share information with others. Information, thus, arises only through an intentional, volitional act of the Living Being. Therefore, information is but a variable quantity depending on the desire and decision of the Holder of Information and Knowledge وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٛ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَۚ But they can not comprehensively grasp any physical or abstract entity loaded with partial information of the Knowledge of Him the Exalted. Exception is only to that information which He the Exalted desired to share - acquaint them with. 4.19. A bit of information through the medium of material world suffices for a rational man to immediately recognize the existence of its sender. Every bit of information introduces us the Lord of the Universes - Allah the Exalted. Therefore, we should not be neglectful of surroundings and become worse than mammals. Let us awake and acknowledge the most visible fact all around us. She whispers us to get out of trivial thoughts to feel awe of her Lord by seeing her magnificence splendour. الله أكبر; الله أكبر 4.20. John Archibald Wheeler said the universe had three parts First, “Everything is Particles,” second, “Everything is Fields,” and third, “Everything is information.” In the 1980s, he began exploring possible connections between information theory and quantum mechanics. It was during this period he coined the phrase “It from bit.” The idea is that the universe emanates from the information inherent within it. Each it or particle is a bit. But this postulation is lacking reality when seen in its totality ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ٢ وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ٣ He the Exalted is the One Who created all that exists. Thereat, He the Exalted proportioned it to have attributes of proportionality and balance with others for efficient performance of the job it was created for — Moreover, He the Exalted is the One Who destined things in measure-limit-scale-proportional relativity. Thereby, He the Exalted prescribed regulation - information code for its course of conduct, proceedings and management. 4.21. John Wheeler's first part "Everything is Particles" is correct. Everything created is called in Arabic شَـىْءٌ, it includes subatomic particle to gigantic tangibles. His second part, "Everything is Fields" is also near reality since second phase of creation is فَسَوَّىٰ; that signifies since everything was to exist in a unified state, therefore, attribute of staying in Fields and enabling ability to perform the assigned function was given to each particle. Thus individual particles were in place. The third was determination of quantity of each particle so that all creation is coordinate. His Third postulate "Everything is information" is vague. Everything exists in a state denoted by فَهَدَىٰ, "thereby He the Exalted equipped every particle with guidance, the information-code that is the governing and regulatory instructions for their functioning in right way - course". Thus Wheeler was right to certain extent in saying the idea is that the universe emanates from the information inherent within it. However, it is better to say that everything emanates as reality as exhibition of information previously held by an Agent. Every particle شَـىْءٌ, is a Percept. 4.22. The science and scientific study revolve around a percept. But there is no percept which can be perceived in isolation, it is perceived with reference to existence of another percept. Arabic language has a far comprehensive rather scientific word to describe the unit of sciences and scientific study ءَايَةٚ (plural ءَايَٟتٚ) stemming from Root ء ى ى. It relates to semantic frame Sign. Lane's Lexicon quoting classical Arabic lexicon of Er-Rághib says; "It properly signifies any apparent thing inseparable from a thing not equally apparent, so that when one perceives the former, he knows that he perceives the other, which he cannot perceive by itself". 4.23. This discussion and analysis has revealed to us that "information" is not just "abstract entity" but is a physical - concrete reality. In fact it is "information - knowledge" that exists while what we think exists actually subsists. كُلُّ شَـىْءٛ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُۥۚ Each and every created thing-matter and life is a self destroyer. His Person is the only exception Who is not self destroyer. 4.24. The creation is but subsists, thereby it is subject to deterioration and perishing and loosing its personal identity كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْـهَا فَان٢٦ وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو ٱلْجَلَٟلِ وَٱلْإِكْرَامِ٢٧ Each and every one of those who exist upon her (Earth) is the deteriorating, perishing one. And the existence of Sustainer Lord of you the Messenger is to remain perpetual, the holder of Majesty and Absolute Honour. 4.25. The expression of a Being is creation. Creation is object - percept. Creation is by purpose. Purpose is by desire and intention. Everything has a creator. Creation is the expression of intention of the creator. The intention is only of the Being - the sentient of Freewill. The creation is the indicative icon of the creator. It is his manifestation, the sign of his existence. It is his recognition. It is awe inspiring for him. Knowledge is of the created object - percept. Object has a purpose. Knowing the purpose of creation is enlightenment. Knowing the desire, tacit in the creation is the zenith of knowledge. It is to knowing the Creator and knowing the object beyond subsistence. We the believers do keep pronouncing that we have attained the highest point and culmination of knowledge and enlightenment إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِيـنُ٥ You the Exalted are the One and Only Whom we presently and henceforth shall solely and exclusively owe and demonstrate allegiance and servitude — Moreover, You the Exalted are exclusively the One we keep looking for rendering the environment supportive and assisting to elevate ourselves. 4.26. In the Second Frame of First Chapter, we state that we are following the Purpose and Intent of the Creation of entire Physical Realm and how it is sustained, as mentioned in the Discourse, reflecting that we have understood the ultimate objective, purpose and desire of creating such a gigantic universe. This is the attribute of the Men of Wisdom. (Aristotle, in his Metaphysics, defined wisdom as the understanding of causes. It is understanding, why things are a certain way as they are.) وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ٥٦ Know it; I did not create the species of Jinn and Human beings except for the purpose that they might submit - by will and affection - to subservience and allegiance exclusively to Me. 4.27. Others recognized as wise men keep revolving around existing knowledge and their leaps of imagination to go beyond existing knowledge also remain restricted to the visible percept يَعْلَمُونَ ظَٟهِرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَ هُـمْ عَنِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُـمْ غَٟفِلُونَ٧ They acquire prima facie knowledge relating to apparent phenomena of life of this Lowly World — While they are certainly neglectful regard the Hereafter. 4.28. It is further told ذَٟلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُـم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِۚ That (seeking the worldly life) is their extreme limit of acquiring knowledge. 4.29. Knowledge is Infinite; all that persists is finite, whereby a certain quantity of information and knowledge is always retrievable and acquirable. The Universe is like the screen of the Computer displaying limited amount of knowledge stored in its RAM (Random Access Memory) which can instantly be acquired but much more information is already there in its Permanent Memory that will come to access once transferred to RAM and displayed. So the Source of Knowledge is Unitary. Whatever amount of knowledge the ٱلْعَلِيـمُ ,the au fait source of knowledge - Allah the Exalted did wish to share, it is displayed in the observable form of universe that can be obtained equally by everybody who has passion for knowledge; but also has rendered it exploitable (سَخَّرَ) by humans. 4.30. The universality and permanence of the Messenger-ship necessitates that academic and scientific approach is made the base for learning the divine guidance by the Humanity and Species Jinn, while demonstrative signs indicating the Divine Providence are already all around as ءَايَٟتِهِۦ His Signs for reflection and visualization أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِهِـمْ أَنَّـآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ يُتْلَـىٰ عَلَيْـهِـمْۚ إِنَّ فِـى ذَٟلِكَ لَرَحْـمَةًۭ وَ ذِكْرَىٰ لِقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ٥١ You confirm it, has it not sufficed for them as irrefutable primary evidence of you being universal Messenger that Our Majesty have since sent upon you the Messenger compositely the Book (Qur’ān) which is recited to them, word by word? Know the fact, indeed prelude to blessed life is explicitly elaborated in it — And for frequenting to obtain advice and guidance the memoir from eternity to eternity are incorporated therein especially for those who truly believe in the Messenger Muhammad . 4.31. The point about cessation of displaying miracles like the cessation of the office of Messenger after the arrival and presence of Universal Messenger for the entire future is superbly highlighted by rhetorical question. Rhetorical question is a device used to persuade and subtly influence the audience. It is a question not asked for the answer, but for the effect. It is used to emphasize a point or just to get the audience thinking. It is a very powerful persuasive and thought provoking tool. Here the question is obvious and reflective. 4.32. The academic rules and principles of learning by instruction are universal. The Divine Book titled Qur’ān is declared as the Text-Book for Guidance in space-time irrespective of national and linguistic boundaries. This is the only Divine Book that was delivered to people in smaller chunks, orally and in writing, over a period of 23 years when it was composed and organized in the formal format of bound book as promised by Allah the Exalted during the days of its intermittent revelation. (The number 23 is interesting; average human life is 23000 days that equals 63 years which was the corporeal life span of the Publisher of Qur'an which was delivered to him at age 40) 4.33. Allah the Exalted in fact turned the world into a global academy by appointment of the Universal Messenger. We need to have a teacher for learning by instruction. Allah the Exalted assigning him the role and status of the Teacher to teach exclusively the Text Book, Qur’ān which was firstly taught to him ٱلرَّحْـمَـٰنُ ١ عَلَّمَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ٢ Be informed; Ar'Reh'maan, He the Exalted has taught the Qur’ān to the elevated Messenger (Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam) 4.34. We learn by listening to a teacher who is present - a living teacher. And reading is learning from one who is absent or who has died. Alternatively, we can say that while we are reading the book we are learning from a teacher as an absentee student who is not in the presence of the teacher. Learning means to gain more information and coming to understand what we did not understand before. The important difference between these two kinds of learning is that gaining information is merely to know that something is the case. Coming to understand more and getting more enlightened is to know all about the information; to know different aspects of why, what and how. In the first case it is being able to remember while enlightenment means to become able to explain it. We become enlightened when we know what the author meant by giving that information and why did he say it. 4.35. The concept of education as an assignment of the Messenger of Allah the Exalted was for the first time proposed by Iebra'heim (alai'his'slaam) and Iesma'eile (alai'his'slaam) in their prayer while raising the House of Allah the Exalted in the Town named Becca in Mecca رَبَّنَا وَٱبْعَثْ فِيـهِـمْ رَسُولٙا مِّنْـهُـمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِكَ وَيُعَلِّمُهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكِّيـهِـمْۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيـمُ ١٢٩ Our Sustainer Lord! And raise a revivalist amongst them as messenger who is characteristically a perpetually Monotheist Believer amongst them- . He will recite word by word-syllable by syllable the Aa'ya'at Verbal Unitary Passages of the Book of You the Exalted. And he will educate them to read and copy writing the Book, and will teach them how to attain the wisdom-capability to perceive the information about invisible realities. And he will intellectually uplift-sanctify them . The fact remains that Your Majesty are certainly the Pervasive and absolutely dominant; and the Infinitely Just Supreme Administrator of the created realm, visible and invisible." 4.36. The act of reciting the verbal passages of certain Book of Allah the Exalted, given to every Messenger, remained the assignment and practice of the Messengers in timeline. وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يَبْعَثَ فِـىٓ أُمِّهَا رَسُولٙايَتْلُوا۟عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِنَاۚ And your Sustainer Lord was not such to annihilate any habitat until and unless He had sent a revivalist as Messenger in her main city —He recited/narrated upon them Our Aa'ya'at unitary verbal passages word by word. 4.37. Assigning to this particular Messenger the responsibility and role of the Teacher to teach specific Book containing both knowledge and pearls of wisdom was a unique proposal. This proposal and request was acceded كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُـمْ رَسُولًۭا مِّنكُـمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُـمْ ءَايَٟتِنَا وَ يُزَكِّيكُـمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُـم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْلَمُونَ١٥١ Conclude My Favour/Grace/boon like the obliging beneficence that Our Majesty sent among you as a Messenger who has been a perpetual Monotheist Believer-Muslim amongst you — He recites word by word upon you people Our Aa'ya'at unitary verbal passages of the Book — And he makes you people intellectually uplifted and sanctified (by removing shackles of conjectural myths- distortions in belief) — And he (Messenger Mohammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam) educates you to read and write the Book (Qur’ān) and teaches you to attain the wisdom-enlightenment-insight to perceive information about invisible realities —Realize it; he (Messenger Mohammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam) imparts you the information-knowledge which hitherto you did not have. 4.38. The act of teaching - educating (يُعَلِّمُكُـمُ) the people is ever continuing. The Teacher is continuously imparting such knowledge about which the audience was not earlier aware. It is thus evident the Book has inexhaustible semantic density. 4.39. The other method of communication - conveyance of information and knowledge is verbal, orally and in writing. Whatever and to whatever extent the Unitary Source of Knowledge wished to share, He has already shared with His Spokesperson closing the chapter of any further verbal communication of information and knowledge إِنَّـآ أَعْطَيْنَٟكَ ٱلْـكَـوْثَرَ Our Majesty have since personally granted you the Messenger the unique - ultimate profundity. 4.40. Henceforth, there shall be no communication and sharing of information. Onwards, it will only be exposure of realities to visual faculty. The fact about existing realities is that not all are visible to human naked eye. The Primal Creator as well as the knowledgeable, observant-scientists convey the knowledge about realities not apparent to human eye by using the metaphors. Descriptions by metaphors enable people perceive a general idea-image of invisible fact by relating it to features of the metaphor. 4.41. Knowledge acquired by human beings until seventh century was through naked eye observation. Naked eye observation of an object and reality grants conviction about its existence. Thought of invisible realities was all along there in human mind that kept him busy in developing theories to gain a perception about various phenomena. 4.42. Turning point was when the Creator of all that exists, Allah the Exalted Who had initiated creation with self-imposed obligation of Mercy, personified Mercy for all in the person of Muhammad , His Last Messenger. The Grand Qur’ān, life sustaining and path illuminating Visible Light came to humanity along with him . It disclosed that a new era of observation of invisible realities is ushering in. It advised humanity to break away from the ideas of the Greeks, who were mired in the belief that they could theorize and deduce underlying principles; and to believe in empirical observation and measurement وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُـرِيكُـمْ ءَايَٟتِهِۦ فَتَعْـرِفُونَـهَاۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٟفِلٛ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ٩٣ Moreover, you the Messenger pronounce "The Infinite Glory and Praise eternally stands specified entirely and exclusively for Allah the Exalted. He the Exalted will henceforth keep visually showing you people His Aa'ya'at realities in the Universe and your own bodies. Thereat, you people will keep recognizing them as were verbally mirrored." —And warn that your Sustainer Lord is indeed never unmindful/neglecting of what acts you people perform." سَنُرِيـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِنَا فِـى ٱلْءَافَاقِ وَفِـىٓ أَنفُسِهِـمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّـنَ لَـهُـمْ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّۗ Our Majesty will henceforth keep intermittently exposing visually Our tangible realities prevalent in the Universe-horizons and in their own bodies to them (who accept not the Divine origin of Qur’ān) —The purpose of this visual manifestation is that it (Qur’ān) being Infallible Discourse of Reality itself explicitly explicates to have been sent for them by their Sustainer Lord. 4.43. Verbal specification and visual observation are two aspects of identification of a tangible fact of real existence as denoted by Arabic word ءَايَةٚ. The visual observation of an earlier unseen fact by humans will manifest a book written earlier in time as Book of Facts which contains its verbal presentation. This will establish that the Book really contains verbal statements of physical-scientific facts and is not conjectural, hypothetical and presumptive in its contents. 4.44. The title Qur’ān of the Divine Book illustrates that all the realm, theoretical and practical, relevant to the reader is gathered and incorporated as a coherent unit in its folder the contents; miscellany of verbal passages; the words and sentences. But the timeline is much wider - from zero hour of the creation of the Universe to end-hour and then transition into timeless domain. It is warping of space-time. Thereby, the greatest, the Grand book is only one, Qur’ān, "a verbal warp bubble" that can drive us into and show any region of spacetime. Allah the Exalted explicitly informs that which has the value of a tall claim مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِـى ٱلـكِـتَٟبِ مِن شَـىْءٛۚ Our Majesty have not neglected mentioning in the Book (Grand Qur’ān) not at all a thing relevant to the audience.

    Some of the verses were linked to personal life of Mohammed, but i think were not correctly explained as per traditional narratives, Quran has verses that are either religious ones or they are more of motivating the people to support the leader or prophet which are poltical, not many verses were personal, except when needed a law or transition from older beliefs. About the surah on AbuLahab, The character involved may be referring to some old biblical character, theres an article i read, linking with Abu’l-Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Or it could refer to some character like Lucifer.

    When one wakes up and realises that beliefs require evidence, one will search deeper and check all his/her beliefs. Life will become a puzzle and an ongoing experiment to find facts for all the information stored in the brain. Who s mind is satisfied with all the brainwashing/information received from all sides of the arguments since being a child? Evidence means certainty , who has reached certainty for all the information and beliefs they hold on to? So best of luck to all of us in our searching. GOD bless you all. Peace.

    In the Quran, Isa/Joshua/Jesus' maternal uncles are Moses and Aaron, his mother is Mary, and his grandfather is Imran. In the fake Torah on the market, Isa/Joshua/Jesus' life is also described in this way. But of course, the fake Torah contains many errors as well. While the fake Torah contains accurate information on these basic facts, many of its other details are incorrect. In short, the true life story of Jesus/Joshua/Isa is found only in the holy Quran. In contrast, the fake Gospels and fake Torah, which are human-written hadith- books available on the market, contain some truths but are intertwined with many falsehoods. In short, Jesus/Isa/Joshua lived in much earlier times than commonly thought and was the nephew of Moses and Aaron. Later, people did what they always do they paganized the prophet's life story and began to worship him. Stories like that of Osiris actually emerged after Jesus and are yet another example of the paganization of his story. The way to realize these truths is to abandon the fake Gospels and turn to the Quran, which is currently the only true holy book we have.

    The most amazing resonance with unique hidden realities is also embedded in the statistical analysis of First Ayah. Apparently, it has 19 letters but Pronounced (Seen + Heard) Letters are 23. Breakdown (Seen + Heard) بِسْمِ → 3 letters (ب، س، م) ٱللَّهِ → 5 letters (ا، ل، ل، ه, and the heard alif after the first ل) ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ → 8 letters (ا، ل، ر، ح، م, dagger alif, ن, and the pronounced elongation for the first رَ) ٱلرَّحِيمِ → 7 letters (ا، ل، ر، ح, ي, م, and the pronounced elongation for the first رَ) Total (Seen + Heard) = 23 letters. This fascinating alignment with the number 23 reflects the divine precision in the Qur'an composition, further emphasizing its harmony with natural and spiritual patterns. 16. The serial publication and final composition of Divine Discourse expanded over a span of 23 years. Its Biological Significance is that Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in a cell), which carry all genetic information while one set comes from each parent's sex cell which has only 23. Thus 23 is central to genetics and human life. 23 is the ninth prime number and has properties that make it fundamental in number theory and it is part of a unique class of primes where 2p + 1 is also prime (here, 47). Further the sum of the first 23 primes equals 874, which is divisible by 23, an unusual property. Some Human Biorhythms theories suggest a 23-day cycle influences physical and emotional health.

    Salam Bro BH, He contends that MHMD is known in the Old Testament and New Testament to be not Muhammad of Islam Salaam, So what? What exactly did it say? Where exactly in the Biblical text did it appear, and did it include phrases like “بِسْمِ الله” (Bismi Allāh) or “مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ الله” (Muḥammadun Rasūlu Allāh)? https//www.middleeasteye.net/discover/coins-muslims-islam-seventh-century-arabia Likewise, why so focused on Jay Smith and the other person dressed in Arab garb, whose main purpose is preaching—or rather ranting and braying—to uninformed Christians and so-called Muslims who have never read or understood basic Quranic concepts, much like many of the moronic, cowardly spammers on this site who are delusional, disgusting, and infatuated with fetishes more interested in seeking attention to themselves rather than fostering genuine understanding, an issue compounded by poor moderation. The moderators, overlook these issues unless their own posts are affected, share responsibility for this environment.

    Peace centi50. GOD has the best argument only for those who see,hear and ponder/search His signs. Please do not expect those who have an inner arrogance and hard hearts to see ,hear or reflect on what GOD s message is saying to them. They will argue with falsehood thinking they are defeating the truth. I have tried to debate some folks in London, Hyde park and I came to a conclusion that some will never ever see , hear or reflect because they are set on their ways/systems/religions of their fathers. They will clearly say that about you and will be adamant they have the truth. Nobody can claim with certainty they have the truth about everything. My argument , from Qoran, was simple- Study Qoran- or any scripture you think comes from GOD- with a sincere heart all of it , ask for GOD s guidance -if you believe in GOD- and summarise GOD s message on how one should lead their life. Answer these 3 basic questions to learn the basis of GOD s religion 1-What is submission to GOD/GOD s system? 2-What is a scripture and who is the authority and law maker? 3-How many religions did GOD send and does GOD contradict himself? By definition, if religions differ and people break into sects there must be misinterpretations and issues with the basics of GOD s one consistent message, their understanding/following... is causing these sects and different religions. Just study and acquire knowledge of GOD s scripture/s- if one believes in GOD- it is futile to keep debating different people. Just state your views and advertise them. The main effort of searching and learning is to help oneself to develop our own soul in readiness to meet our creator, not to debate others or concern ourselves with what they do. I admire your character and attitude for learning. You are also kind and amicable ignoring those who insult and mock you and members here. This is the best way to deal with those that have other agendas /motives "The Ibad-those who reverence and value GOD- of the Most Gracious are those who tread the earth gently, and when the ignorant speak to them, they only utter peace. وَعِبادُ الرَّحمٰنِ الَّذينَ يَمشونَ عَلَى الأَرضِ هَونًا وَإِذا خاطَبَهُمُ الجٰهِلونَ قالوا سَلٰمًا Keep ignoring insults and those who mock. Eventually, when you do not take notice or answer by the same manner, they go away. Take care. GOD bless you. Peace.

    O God! I have believed in Your book The Quran, and I testify that the Quran is from You, and so do You bear witness that the Quran is from You. By Your Command, I testify to You in Your Presence, in the name of Truth and Sincerity, that the Quran is from You. Now I pray to You that You make me understand Your book as it is to be understood, and to further strenghten my faith in it. And may my testification and faith in Your book save me from the hellfire, and may You Forgive me for my sins. You are the Most Great, there is no god but You, none are worthy of worship except You, everything in the universe praise You and everything in the universe prostrates in submission to You, You are the King and Lord and Protector and Light and Ruler and creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in them! Science is bullshit. Scientific evidence found in the Quran is funny stuff, midget stuff. God created man. God created everything. You need to understand this. God created you. Science is nothing. And that's that ) Just know; Allah the Exalted is the setter of sciences. Abstract 1.1. Grand Qur’ān is not a book of Science in scientific parlance, yet larger chunk of its discourse after Narratives is about sciences and psychology. Scientific facts are mentioned not by terminology, but in descriptive manner - imagery to explain for easy perception of common man to have fair idea of the hidden realities and phenomenon. It are evidence and argument in support of the Thesis Statement of Qur’ān and to keep it alive in every-present. Another objective is to provide forensic proof of its authorship which the non-believing elite of Polytheists and Arabized Jews propagated, it is the creation of exalted Universal Messenger since the days he published it. The sciences described relate to realities and phenomenon prevalent in the horizons of Universe and human body invisible to naked eye . سَنُرِيـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِنَا فِـى ٱلْءَافَاقِ وَفِـىٓ أَنفُسِهِـمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّـنَ لَـهُـمْ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّۗ Our Majesty will henceforth keep intermittently exposing visually Our tangible realities prevalent in the Universe-horizons and in their own bodies to them (who accept not the Divine origin of Qur’ān) —The purpose of this visual manifestation is that it (Qur’ān) being Infallible Discourse of Reality itself explicitly explicates to have been sent for them by their Sustainer Lord (it is not the creation of the Messenger, its publisher). (Refer 4153) 1.2. Knowledge is primarily divided into two branches; knowledge of things/matter and what happened - was talked about by the people; their dialogues, habits and acts in the past. The knowledge about matter is verifiable in time and space. Anything said by anyone or a book regarding physical matters could be subjected to verification in time and space about its truth to an exact detail. 1.3. If the scientific information mentioned in Grand Qur’ān stands the verification test; provided it is of such nature that it could not be considered as the personal knowledge of a human being living in 7th century when this book was published for the first time, it will prove its infallibility and Divine Origin. This verification test is the key to decide about the veracity of Thesis Statement.
