Questions/Comments on the Quran

One may have negative natured doubt about the condut of quite many people in his locality but that might not bother him or cause any irksome concern. However if he has same doubt about his spouse and progeny it will cause, to most of the people, psychological disturbance. There lies the difference. Shak precedes Raib and not vice versa. How can they be same? That is the point. Genuine Shak leads to enquiry and investigation whereafter it will diminish. Volitional doubt is not for purposes of investigation and enquiry.

Salaam, As per my understanding of 'sajada' is as follows 2218 2218 Did you not see that to Allah yields what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars and the mountains and the trees and what moves, and many of the people, and many who have deserved the retribution. And whoever Allah disgraces, then none can honor him. Allah does what He pleases. Did you not see that all do 'sajada' to Allah? That means, we can see. Please note that the word used 'taraa' in 2218 does not mean literal seeing by eye. Please refer 7198 for better understanding of this word. 'Taraa' means to see by Allah's signs, to see by research, to see by knowledge, etc. And 2218 makes it clear that we can taraa the sajada of all to Allah. 4829 4829 Mohammed is the messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against the rejecters, but merciful between themselves. You see them kneeling and prostrating, they seek the blessings and approval of Allah. Their distinction is in their faces, as a result of prostrating. Such is their example in the Torah. And their example in the Gospel is like a plant which shoots out and becomes strong and thick and it stands straight on its trunk, pleasing to the farmers. That He may enrage the rejecters with them. Allah promises those among them who believe and do good works a forgiveness and a great reward. Again the same word used 'taraahum'. This aayat is for all, even for those who are present at the time of Prophet Mohammed (AS), but still the word used is 'taraa', if 'sajada' and 'ruku' in 4829 is a 'physical act' then it can be viewed by others by a naked eye, in such case the word used would be 'nazar' instead of 'taraa'. 4829 shows us that 'sajada' is an act that either be done by mouth or from heart. 1761 1762 1761 And We said to the angels Yield to Adam. So they yielded except for Satan, he said Shall I yield to one you have created from clay! 1762 He said Shall I show You this one whom You have preferred over me, that if You respite me until the Day of Resurrection, I will seize his progeny, except for a few. Here I understand that Allah preferred/gave importance to Adam over Iblis and Allah asked that Angels for the same. Sajada in the above aayat is 'giving importance or preference'. This also clarifies that Iblis refused and became arrogant in 234 furthermore he said 'I am better than him' in 3876 1821 1821 And similarly, We caused them to be found that they would know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. When they disputed among themselves about their affair and said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take over them a masjid." There are two phrases to be noticed in 1821 "Ubnoo 'alaihim bunyaanan" means "construct over them a structure" and "lanattakhizanna 'alaihim masjidan" means "we will take/hold over them a masjid". 'Masjid' is the place of 'sajada', if we take the meaning from 1762, the meaning is clear that they want to take/hold on them a masjid or a place of importance or a preferred place. Please note that the word 'ubnoo' means 'construct' is used only for structure and not for masjid in 1821. Not only this, the meaning of sajad also includes 'remembering much'. 2114 2114 And who are more wicked than those who prevents from masjids of Allah that His name be remembered in them; and they seek their destruction? They will not be able to enter them except in fear; they will have humiliation in this world and in the Hereafter a painful retribution. 2240 2240 The ones who were driven out of their homes without justice, except that they said Our Lord is Allah! And if it were not for Allah defending the people against themselves, then many places of gathering, and markets, and bonds, and masjids where the name of Allah is much remembered, would have been destroyed. Allah will give victory to those who support Him. Allah is Powerful, Noble. This is how I understand, I might be wrong. May Allah correct me in my understanding if I am wrong and guide us all to His only path pr Mohammed M. Khan

I know exactly what the difference is. You are emphasizing on the creation of mankind, not the creation in general. What I am trying to get across is, that the creation of every thing on Earth, mankind included, has started from dust and clay and mud and?. Here I am emphasizing on HOW the process took place. I am saying that GOD ALMIGHTY wants us to excavate and search through the Earth and find out HOW He created all things. He wants us to learn by research and OBSERVATION through SCIENTIFIC means and processes and NOT by guesswork, interpretations, and conjectures, sitting behind closed doors PHILOSOPHIZING You did not notice the difference because the thing that is in your mind does not make you listen anything else. The specific information given about the Man in the Qur'aan is the exact base source of learning about him. The Article covers only those Ayah of Grand Qur'aan which mention the Raw material used for the creation of man. If you concentrate on the words indicating raw material and the processes carried on those, you might notice what people have learnt so far about the origin of life.

I gave you a link to educate yourself or to criticize it with intellect and knowledge. Repeating your bigotry and prejudice is not debating, it is called parroting others. I challenge you to respond the article; but like all those who cannot see the divine sign because of the smoke and fire in their minds, you too will never be able to respond the article properly. Peace, Edip I read your page, I appreciate the efforts you're making to prouve the 19 miracle, but the intro about people closing their mind is totally apsychological from your part , kind of a hidden intimidation , or maybe to get people to focus first , in both ways, I feel you're a smart man. anyway. When I study languages, I am good in 5 of them, I can make an analogie and see the origin of words myself without looking in the british version or frensh version etc.... I can't see the word SAQUAR , other than SUFFER. , to me it means two words , and nothing else, SUFFER , or SULFUR. and this word is phonetically the same in every language, and what you put SUFFER or SULFUR in the place of the word SAQUAR , it makes perfect sense, at least to me. SAQUAR doesn't mean hell . HELL must have a different word in the Quran, if it exists litterally, or metaphorically.. Al Bashar, according to research away from traditional arab dictionnaries, MEans a preacher When Allah Said I will create BASHAR , it translates a SPEAKER or PREACHER, and has nothing to do with skin so BAshar is a human, and it is an attribut of humans, meaning preachers. it is this attibute that differentiated us from animals (al anaam ) , speech. every rassoul , was MUBASHIR ( preacher ) and NADHIRA ( warner ) LAWAHA , translates laying , in many dialects, in arab countries, specially north africa, LOUHH and LAWAH means throw. ( I deceided to study the arab words in a different approach, I found many words make sense in arab strrt dialect, when compared with words explications of hadiths exemple, QUAHAR in hadiths means MIGHTY or something similar, in the dialect of Algeria it means the coherent. notice the ressemblance phonetic between QUAHAR and coherent) about the 19 , it could be true, there is this possibility, and there is a possibility that it could be false, something about trust, has to be verified by the individual, and every individual, if one cannot verify, there is no blame even if it is a true miracle, I myself don't believe in miracles, I don't believe the moses had a Rod and Threw it and became a serpent, and I am 100% sure of that . The way people imagiene it is all false and doesn't make sense, let's say someone can do a miracle like they imagine moses did, can he declare himself a messenger ? or an angel ? do we accept it or look for the tricks of how he did it ?). Moses never throw a rod, and there was never a living snake, nor Isa riaised the dead, nor 19 is an iportant miracle, to me, 19 created more confusion that clearing the quran. all it did is create another sect, and messengers and miracles don't create sects, and above all, I don't believe amessenger will come , if there is to come, to comunity of a city, or a mosque, If there is a messenger coming, he will come for Obama and sarkozy and others , we're prople trying to and not shoing us how to wash our hands or faces. Allah knows best

this is a quick reply of what I'm thinking about right now. Am not really convinced that Libass means Cloths or anything to do with garments. The key word here is Righteousness (Taqwa) What does Satan do as an enemy? To make us aware of our private parts and causes us shame? What is the core command here? Why are we told this example or this event? Does it mean that initially God, created us naked and unaware of it? The example here is about not obeying God, isn't it? The pair were told not to approach the tree. Is the tree meant to be a real tree or does it represent something else, like evil deeds, and what are they? Everyone who does an evil deed knows exactly that it is so, just remember that in this case the Pair were warned about it beforehand. And as a result they know that it not something that God would like. Finally, what would you feel when you do something knowing that it is a bad one? Will that make you realise that you're naked or something else? it's not about a tree , it's about fire worship He burned himself . Shajar has different meanings in the quran. ex surah 465 , shajara means fight or problem Shajar =is tasted "DHAKA" , this word "DHAKA" is only used for Fire punihsement 1760 Shajar is in the core of Hell 3680 Shajar green , is a source of fire 5672 , every source of fire, is called shajar , be it a tree, or oil or petrol etc... fire has shajar. maybe il means a park I understand , the best translation is of the word Shajar "SOURCE" and not a tree except when speaking of Garden, the trees are the source of a garden. I believe Adam played with Fire, it's always been about fire worship and Energy exemple, Abraham was put into fire Moses was worshiping fire looking for guidance . Today, fire worship is the biggest religion in the world , Illuminati ' ilu minati = elect of manet ' a,d not enlightened. olympic games they celebrate the holy fire that never turns off , every 4 years, and the worship of all is wars for energy , Oil, gaz etc... never a prophet was sent for statues worship, it's always fire, the reason they worship stars and the saun, is because of fire worship. Adam must have had the same problem, he approached fire , and get burned, that is why he healed himself with Herbs. The Shajar = source or ressource, and the fight over Shajar is still going on now, naturel ressources etc... until the end, Iblees favorite Arm, to the point of , he made people worship fire. About Libess, it means SPIRIT , not as spirte soul etc... but spirit as ambiance or good moods or aura etc... it is clear that cloths in the quran is called Kiswa, and in the street of Algeria , they call coths KISWA. the word costume , frensh for suit comes from the word Kiswa. Allah knows best.

In fact, in the very first Christian writings, contemporary with the ones which inspired those references to Isa in the Quran, there is reference to Sophia. A sort of supreme Mother of Creation. The original Judaic Christians were opposed to the Laws installed by the patriarch and thought to oppose it through a sort of revival ....which was eventually subdued, edited and eventually marketed in the form of what we now know as The Holy Bible.

A non oppressive government doesn't exist on this planet. When you're changing something by force you're bound to guard it and keep it by force. Now here is the key issue. If you want change a country then people have to change themselves. it's a slow process.

Then what is the word for elephant in Arabic or Hebrew which are both Semitic, difference there's no "p" in the Arabic so f?' was used or cite ?feel? in literature to mean other than elephant? Arabic feel fa ya lam Hebrew peel "pyl" pe yod lamed It's a borrowed word from Persian; read the history of chess http//www.chesscentral.com/Chess_Set_History_a/182.htm http//www.chessvariants.org/piececlopedia.dir/alfil.html "As Murray reports in his Short History of Chess, the game hardly changed when the Muslims got it from the Persians. So the Persian pil lept two spaces diagonally. Murray reports in the same book that the Muslims merely modified the name of the piece to suit their own pronunciation, changing the p to an f for the word fil, which became the piece's Arab name. This got prefixed with the Arabic definite article, al, to form the name Alfil. When the names of fil and alfil reached Europe, they sometimes changed even more, but the transformed names eventually became associated with the Bishop. Although the name of Alfil is still used for the Bishop in some languages, such as Spanish, English-speakers began the tradition of reserving the name Alfil for the original piece." Peace if you feel PIL is proginal name of Elephant, than what about IBIL ? what make you think that it's a camel ? how come Camel is called JAMAL in the quran, what about Naqua ? is it a femele camel or just another fabrication of dictionaries to get muslims ashtray ? if Elephant is Pil , than Ibil is closer that AlFeel AlFeel = Evil , I am conviced , and specially, I see people don't trust hadiths because they were written by corrupted people, and they trust dictiannaries , all of them written in beyrouth, by christians , and go see channel AlHayat, and see the hatred against Islam. logic say Alfeel , is the same as Afeleen, EVIL ONES

You always skip my questions, but try to answer the following ones please. Funny, I seem to remember you glossing over mine in another thread.

Samaa, usually translateed Heavens, or Sky but, our Feet are on the ground, our bodys are in Samaa another exemple, a fruit tree, exemple orane, it's roots are in the ground, while it's fruits are in Samaa , therefore , if we take a fruit from a tree, we take it from samaa . Samaa dounia, is where we walk, massabih are litterally massabih, and not stars, lamps in the street are lamps in the Samaa , and not in earth, even though they're 3 or 4 meters high. and when the light is in the street, it rejects the wicked ones, they can't operate in the light, exemple, thiefs etc... another samaa allah talk about, is off ground, called JAW SAMAA , where the birds and airplanes flys another samaa is the one above, where there is Kawakib / stars , and from here, it's the cosmos No references again ??? Anyways, "Wa anzala min al Samaae maa-an" means shower ??? MashaAllah! May Allah help us understand the truth and I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitaan for all of us pr Mohammed M. Khan

Dear All, here is what G A Perwaiz in his Exposition of the Qur'an says about 541 Posted without comments for further discussion from http//www.tolueislam.com/Parwez/expo/exposition.htm SURAH 54 Al-Qamar The Hour of Revolution (about which they have been warned for a long time) is just around. The power and might of these opposing Arabs will come to an end and their flag (carrying the insignia of the moon) will be torn to pieces. Many of the signs of the coming revolution have appeared before them, but because of their rebellious attitude they do not seriously ponder over them. Instead they turn away saying, ?These are the same old fables that we had been hearing for a longtime.? (4611)

I understand it that whoever dies before his 40th will go to the lower heaven. Nothing in verses or Qur'an about under age 40 attain heaven or 40 year old orphans being mature and allowed to marry. 46 And test the orphans until when they reached the marriage 1734 And do not approach the orphan's wealth except with which it is best until he reaches his maturity 4615 (mentions pregnancy, birth, childhood, and puberty/young adulthood reaching maturity) And We directed the human a goodness with his parents, his mother became pregnant with him compellingly And she gave birth to him compellingly And his pregnancy with him And his wearing thirty shahr until when he reached his maturity (continues with later stage in life) And he reached forty years, he said "My Lord inspire me that I be grateful your blessing which you blessed on me and on my parents And that I do righteous deeds you accept And correct for me in my descendants that I repented to you And that I am from l-mus'limna. This reminds of saying which goes something like this... As a boy, I loved my father As a teen, I argued with my father Now as a man, I really miss my father Peace

I'm preety sure nobody follows the whole "Sunnah" of the prophet. Muslim hail Allah Sunni Muslim hail Bukhari

A particle of light has a source and an origin. A photon may be thought of as a string connecting two spheres of existence together.

This is inspiring, thank you. Salaam

My limited understanding is that Allaat, Al-'Uzzah, and Manaat are goddesses that the Arabs in Muhammad's (PBUH) time worshipped along with Allah and a whole slew of other gods/goddesses. So the Qur'an establishes that Allah is the only God and that goddess worship is forbidden. Someone more knowledgable may chime in to correct any of that. ) Al Lah is not a human. The usage of "He" is a case of grammatical etiquette particular to the Levant and surrounding regions. If anything, Al Lah is both... like a magnet. The detail you are referring to is a kind of deliberate distraction from the actual purpose of the Quran, or at least a facet of it, which was to challenge the increasingly popular interpretation of what "God" is.... because it was causing a lot of strife in the world. You will see people arguing that Al Lah doesn't have children. The same people will got to great lengths posting websites which outright declare themselves God's children. My point in bringing that up is not to say which is right or wrong.... but to point out that truth is, ultimately, a kind of relative concept. Because, no. God does not "beget". But in a symbolic sense, one could see it that way. To accept the Quran ....is to accept Christianity, on the terms of the original Christians. To accept Judaism, on the terms of the original Jews.... You want a good riddle? Ask yourself what a Saebean is. (Sabian... Sabean ....doesn't matter how you spell it in English. That is another game.)

what does history have recorded of canaan???

I think it can be very useful. bravo

I am having a hard time with this one. I do think that God doesn't aprove of same sex relashionships but I personaly never had anything against it. Its a situation were I think that God dislikes something and I don't wich is theoreticaly not very good for my future in after life. I supose you can belong to any monotheistic religion and say you are gay as well. But does that make sense? I think that the only way for it to make sense is if you are a liberal Quranist muslim. If you are a literalist then I don't see how can you be a practisning gay muslim. I would have to say that some of the liberals on this forum have given me some good explanations of why did Jesus have a father, precicely it was Loxbox. Now he did it by using the Quranic verses. If anyone can prove to me that you can be a fully practising muslim and gay I would like to hear it. I do believe that you can be gay and believe in Allah. I have done haram unfortunately in life and I believed at the same time. I am always open to adjusting my opinion of what Allah wants from us. I only have one condition It must be backed up By the Quran. Thanks

Can someone please give a brief explanation of what is Allah's message from this verse? I don't know why is a number of angels as guardians of fire a test! Is it something to do with the Bible or some other book? 7431 And not We have made keepers the fire only malikatan And not We have made their count only fit'natan for those kafar Fitna is not a test which one can pass/fail and pointless to state a test for those who fail. Fitna is an infatuation with numerology evident by those obsessed with nineteen multiples. Peace!
