To Obey the Prophet(PBUH) is obligatory to every Muslim
-
I don't see it, I don't see Jonah being labelled explicty a prophet in those verses.
Maybe you can point it out for me?
-
Peace,
689 Those to whom We have given the Scripture, and the law, and the prophethood, if they reject it, then We will entrust it to a people who will not reject it.
Z The "whom" is in reference to a "people" (more than likely jews) who were given the Scripture, the law, and the prophethood.
It has nothing to do with Jonah being labelled a prophet.
The fact is, if you were to conclude that Jonah is a prophet by that verse, you would also have to include the following people..
687 And from their fathers and their progeny and their brothers We have also chosen; and We guided them to a straight path.
Peace

There is nothing to stop the 687 from talking about other prophets related to them but not mentioned by name. There are many of them in the bible and the Qur'an does not deny it. Regular jews are not given prophethood as mentioned in 689. Also, 687 starts with
687 And from their fathers and their progeny and their brothers We have also chosen; and We guided them to a straight path.
The "from" puts a limit to the issue and God chooses prophets.

Z Yes, and there is nothing to stop verse 687 from talking about other people in general, IN FACT, it IS talking about other people in general, not neccessarily prophets(a subset of the others).
Furthermore, the people referred to in verse 689 are more than likely the Jewish people in general, thus they are given as a people the gift of having prophets(prophethood), but of course if they reject their prophets, than the prophethood can be given to another people, which of course...
Now my friend, I am still waiting for the quranic proof that Jonah the messenger was labelled a prophet.
And if by some miraculous luck you do actually find some verse in the quran, thereafter I would like for you to locate a verse in the quran describing Shu'ayb as a prophet.

687
Can you tell me which type of "Min" is used over here?? -
Peace,
381 talks about any later messenger and Muhammad was the latest.
Are you sure?

1689 One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people) and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims.
There is not a single Messenger/Rasool in the Qur'an who was not a prophet/Nabi at the same time. So, your last point, you are making things up and conjecturing beyond what the Qur'an provides you. I thought that you were a Qur'an aloner.

Literal And Noah's nation when they lied/denied/falsified the messengers, We drowned/sunk them, and We made them to the people (as) an evidence/sign , and We prepared to the unjust/oppressors, a painful torture.I suggest that you study how conditional sentences in Arabic come.
I suggest you study basic logic and use common sense instead of posting illogical nonsense to fit hearsay.
Emotional speak with no support. That rule is important to maintain the unity of the message of God to the people. If the earlier prophets were not bound to follow the later messenger, then there would be many "legitimate" messages, all claiming to be from God but vastly different from each other or fighting with each other. God would not want his people to fight with each other.
Emotional are the hadithists and earlier prophets preached exactly the same message.

1636 For We assuredly sent AMONGST every People an apostle, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil" of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).Take care and have a great day as well.

Leo,
I will answer your question after you respond to my last post directed to youn (last night) in the following thread..
Are the Quran aloners hurting the refomist cause?
I am not interested in getting the answers.I just wanted to show the depth of knowledge on which Quranists are basing "Quran interpretation".
You are misinterpreting the Aya because you do not know the type of "min" being used in this Aya.
That has become obvious. -

God also chooses humans.
Regardless, I believe that aya makes it clear Jonah is a prophet.

Is there a problem with that? There is none.
4113 And were it not for Allah's grace upon you and His mercy a party of them had certainly designed to bring you to perdition and they do not bring (aught) to perdition but their own souls, and they shall not harm you in any way, and Allah has revealed to you the Book and the wisdom, and He has taught you what you did not know, and Allah's grace on you is very great.

Z In no way is it clear. Do you see "Jonah is a prophet", No you don't, thus it isn't clear.. at best, it is an illogical inference.
Is there a problem with that? There is none.
Z No there is not a problem with THAT, though there is a problem when attempting to use the verse as support for Jonah being a prophet.
Nonetheless, my postion stands, the quran does not label all messengers(including jonah), prophets.

Yes and the Aya that you are pointing out will have to be understood with this other Aya in mind.
Muhammad Assad
2143 Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; ------
So, if we (submitters to the message) are witnesses over the nations and he is a witness over us, then he is a witness over all the people. Yes their messengers will witness over their people and since he will be the witness over all the muslims, including all the prophets, then he is the witness over all humanity, including their prophets.Are you sure?

Literal And Noah's nation when they lied/denied/falsified the messengers, We drowned/sunk them, and We made them to the people (as) an evidence/sign , and We prepared to the unjust/oppressors, a painful torture.Yes again. The use of the plural does not have to mean that there had been plural of messengers. Have you heard of the WE of the Qur'an? This is documented in the use of the Arabs in the language from a very old time. Since we do not know except Noah, then venturing outside what the Qur'an tells us and assuming more messengers than Noah is mere speculation. We do not go by speculation.

1636 For We assuredly sent AMONGST every People an apostle, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil" of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).And you have 2106 talking about abrogation. You have the rules that were cancelled from the people before us as the Sabbath and certain dietary rules. Do you read the Torah and bible all the time to know your practice of Islam?
At the end, Aya 548 tells us that the book that came to Muahmmad declares true what became before it and Muhaiminan= reigning over the older books. This means that the message that came with Muhammad can cancel or add new rules. Yes the basic rule of the worship of the one God applies to all, but other rules change according to the human condition and history.
Z, you can remain in your stubborness. Here is another Aya for you
4163 Lo! We inspire thee as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as we imparted unto David the Psalms;Take care all

Anyways, since you're having trouble locating Jonah being explicitly labelled a prophet in the quran, maybe you might have luck locating Shu'ayb being labelled a prophet in the quran.

Peace Hussein, all,
Not true. In Aya 1989, the Shayin is "son of God" which is supposed to be a stand alone entity, and not the speech of the people. Proof The Aya starts with Jitum= you brought and not Qultum= you said. Jitum points to the entity in question and not the speech itself.
Are you saying that the god is blaming them because they "brought a son of god"? I think that everyone can see how ridiculous your claim is. Clearly any person with a grain of common sense can see that what they actually brought is not the son of god but "the saying that the god has a son". This is confirmed by 1991 where what they "brought" is further described as
- That they called a son for the almighty.
019.091
YUSUFALI That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.
PICKTHAL That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son,
SHAKIR That they ascribe a son to the Beneficent Allah.
KHALIFA Because they claim that the Most Gracious has begotten a son.So clearly this thing/shay'a that they brought is "saying/calling/invoking/ascribing/claiming that the god has a son" not "the son of god".
The rest of your post is a rant. I will leave it at that.
I guess you are evading to answer as usual because you know you can't. Your whole idea about the "uncreated and eternal Quran" is completely useless anyway. It is nothing but idle talk that has zero practical implications to anything in real life. It has already been exposed as a late Abbassid era baseless dogmatic innovation and you can't answer any of the logical can of worms it opens so it is not worth any more of anyone's time.
Peace,
Ayman

Speech is saying. You can speak about stand alone entities=Shayin whether real or supposed. God was not pointing to their speech. He was pointing to the supposed stand alone entity that was claimed in their speech. That was the Shayin and not the speech itself.
Take care
Hussein
