Questions/Comments on the Quran

4251 And it is not for any human being that Allah would speak to him, except through inspiration, or from behind a barrier, or by sending a messenger to inspire whom He wills with His permission. He is Most High, Wise. regards yes, Just what I was looking for. bravo thanks.

As far as I know, Israel is a people/race, such and such, i.e. descendants of Isaac. See 17104, and if that doesn't conform to reality. That's what i thought... (195 1958 (Asad) THESE WERE some of the prophets upon whom God bestowed His blessings - of the seed of Adam and of those whom We caused to be borne with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel and among those whom We had guided and elected; whenever the messages of the Most Gracious were conveyed unto them, they would fall down , prostrating themselves and weeping. It seems to indicate either Israel was someone or that it's a continuation/addition of the Abrahamic dhurriya.. 17104 indicates "bani israel" not israel in isolation. So i'm not sure what israel here means..

peace According to this ayah; 214 When they meet those who believe, they say "We believe;" but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say "We are really with you We (were) only jesting." peace Well, Not all terrorists claim to be muslim. Eg> Tamil tigers.

Peace, I see, 337 does mention this, therefore on that basis are you suggesting that 3340 does not indicate that Muhammed was the last prophet? I understand that if the 'seal' is substituted for 'official mark' then Muhammed can theoretically be a universal representation of those who have played similar roles before. Could such an important matter boil down to just the meaning of one word in this verse? Or was this 'end of prophethood' an innovation because there isn't enough to support this change? Or are we not reading correctly?! Obviously many translators are certain about this verse and the language of the Quran is very specific and clear. Does the flexibilities of translation allow for an even wider meaning for various important words including this one, which shape important ideas and concepts in the minds of readers and students? Masoom It does seem simple; If they were saying he has a step son, then to marry the step sons wife- allowed, but people will talk, so to clarify further his office is declared to everybody, to stop the talk of the town and to allow such a thing in the future -if the need be. 4034 (YA) "And to you there came joseph in times gone by, with Clear Signs, but ye ceased not to doubt of the (Mission) for which he had come At length, when he died, ye said 'No apostle will Allah send after him.' thus doth Allah leave to stray such as transgress and live in doubt,- peace

I have renewed the link at www.deenresearchcenter.com You can download Mashriqi's book now.

Grand Qur'aan has been declared perpetual, to remain beacon of Guidance and act as Guide in time and space. It is all time classic, made easy for all times.

masajid is the plural of masjid(a plural on the pattern of "mafaaeel" like madaris as the plural of madrassa and manasik as plural of mansak). the pronoun"haa" in "fihaa" definetely refers to the mosques. Besides being used for singular feminine,it is also also used for "jamaa mukassar(broken plural-irregular plural).

Salam Sarah, a quick question what's the Arabic word for 'blood' and the word for 'running blood'? A quick answer 1 - Blood is "dam" , "dam-oun" or "dam-an"(&#1605 and, 2 - Runing blood is "daman masfou7an" ( &#1575 . Salam

Boy, the lack of responses to a very basic question. Shall it be taken another evidence, for lost language? Is it general apathy that all Muslims suffer from? Or is it fear of hurting ones beliefs without knowledge, with the knowledge? May be it is all of the above. Badar Dude... I don't know. I just know that the old Arabic is called Fosh'a. I gave you a hint (all I know) it's your turn to take it from there.

Peace ugur1! This mess is created by the present Education System whereby a child becomes an adult & is still dependent. bravo bravo

Er, that helps! giveup

Dear all, my brother and friend Abdun Nur, asked me to translate this verse. Upon looking, it was shocking to find out that even the very common words; as we understand those today, were not meant the same at time of prophet. One such word is . Badar 4332 Those who depart from our shelter due to the suspension of opinions or actions, of the ample and easy state of life available from us. A means of gaining access to your Rabb. They are separated, just like a child becomes separated from their parents relating to the provisions of life. And when we bring this for their review, it stings them like a gnat; resulting in successively and progressively stinging those around them to become superior to one another; and to achieve this purpose of superiority, fighting and seizing one another lives and possessions in war. Hence those already stung, became more stung, so are mocked and become a laughing stock. Whereas the ample easy state of life, that gives access to your Rabb is far better than whatever they accumulate. Abdun Nur http//servantofthelight.com/content/view/95/126/ Badar English part is a speech delivered by Abdun Nur and has nothing to do with the Arabic words quoted above.

wakas, salam Mohsinna can only have one consistent meaning, It can not be translated as Married women, and then right in the next (4-25)aya as completely opposite.Hence your explanation logically will not take the right direction. Mohsinna is a title, which creater has chosen to call those women , who are Hallal, and chaste. so where ever Mohsinnate is used , you can simply translate it as , chaste women. (a similar example could be like the word lady) For further explanation dig up thread , "Mohsinnats, a new understanding" siki

JawadIt's not said that the Quran is or "=" al Furqan but rather it's said that the purpose of the Quran is to guide mankind, to clarify the guidance, and (assist every body) to differentiate between the truth and the false. Sorry but if the Quran agrees with your wording above, it would say 'unzila fihi al-quran liyakunu ..... al-furqan' There is no purpose of furqan, achieving furqan or whatever. Al-quran is al-furqan. See the compared translation of 5 translators Khalifa providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book Yusuf Ali as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong) Pickthal a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong) Shakir a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction Sher Ali as a guidance for mankind with clear proofs of guidance and discrimination and are use here as indefinite noun for making a general statement about the Quran or the function of the Quran (= no clear identification). How then can you so confidently say that the Quran = al Furqan since it's not clearly said that the Quran is al Furqan ? Second, If according to you, the Quran = al Furqan then we can write this part of the verse like this !!!! What a nonsense !

There are 7 places in the Koran where the word furq?n is used surah 250.181, 32, 829.42, 2149 and 251. It has already been remarked long ago that in all places but in surah 251 the understanding of furq?n as "salvation", "liberation", "redemption" etc. How poor is his eye sight and memory in going through the Al-Furqan!! The man does not seem to know "abc" about Grand Qur'aan.

6 MIRACLES FROM PROPHET ISA but HOW BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING RATIONAL IN THEM ! "Rational" will vary from man to man depending upon the level of information and knowledge one has. Those who had physically seen those, got divided into two groups, one group thought those to be http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/006.%20Al%20Anaam/temp%2002%206.007e.gif when you brought to them evident/distinct unprecedented demonstrative Signs then those/one group amongst them who refused to accept said, "this is nothing except an evident illusion". http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/005.%20Al%20Maida/005.%20Al%20Maida%2064-120.htm

I do not see what your question is about here. The use of the "or" is just as you say, there different possibilities, but not exclusive. And the mothers or sisters or daughters ar "their" (of the women) women. Hi , ....their women or those married to them (ma malakat aimanohuna) Sorry, this is what i meant if this makes sense. I hope it does , as it would clear a lot of miss-understandings. peace

Did you ever hear of the birds and the bees? what about them?!

peace jawad, all, AQ = Al Quran The expression you refer to is used several times in AQ, see here for example http//www.al-islam.org/encyclopedia/chapter1a/11.html After reading the above, also see http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahl_al-Bayt

I have written an article on 434 which is currently being checked over. I'm not sure how long this process will take however. Please keep us posted on this...I am excited to read it.
