Hi Aron,
"kick off your sunday shoes"
Pity is that Aron people ain't correcting these things in the quran - and some believe in them literally. hypno
God Bless Br.

I dont get what you mean here. Can you clarify as to how the grammar forces this meaning of "can make monkeys from men"?
In the quran it says sticks changed to snakes and men changed to monkeys the ocean split into two , all this is in accordance to your grammer Br.
I think i rather stay within bounds of reality then what the Grammer may envisage.
Gods Blessings.

Salaam simple
Beware of transferring expressions between languages. After all, "kick off your shoes" is/maybe an English expression. In Arabic, it could be "change you threshold" or something else, but not "take off your shoes".
Might it be that some Arab experts lack something in the language?
See page 569 of the quranic dictionary , that is where "take of shoes" is mentioned.
God Bless.

You seem to be confusing what grammar is.
For example, if the rules of grammar are followed and someone using such a translation or the Arabic Quran itself reads "be ye apes" they may take this literally to mean they turned into actual apes, or they may take it metaphorically to mean they took on the characteristics of apes. Both could be correct theoretically, thus the difference is in the understanding/interpretation, nothing to do with the grammar in this case.
Perhaps what you more correctly mean is the tashkeel/vocalisation marks, and you somehow feel these restrict the meaning and skew it towards what you consider to be out with the bounds of reality in some cases. If we remove the tashkeel/vocalisation then that does give the possible translations/interpretations a wider scope. This is a fair point. However, this is not what you are doing.
In another thread, you dismissed the letter "ba" when it was used as "bi" (meaning "with/in", thus, puting the question of tashkeel/vocalisation aside, you wish to ignore letters too. This is unacceptable. The only way it would be acceptable is for you to post a disclaimer before your translations, something like "the following translation of mine ignores the rules of grammar, cross-referencing and even some parts of the Arabic text in The Quran". Of course, you as well as I know that if you were to do this no-one would take you seriously.
Please clarify your position with regards to the above.
Thanks.

I don't take your or anybodies grammer as my god.
but i think will try and pay more attention to it now and then.
I believe the secret isn't in the grammer at all but finding what the meanings of words where 1400 years ago That is the ideal way - 100% fool proof.
But if we had a compendium of Arabic Metaphors that would be a great Asset as well.
Thanks Br.
Gods Blessings on All.

In Qd its either aradza (p19) or Ardz - who is to say which is correct???
using lanes you can use either root as the meanings are there in both
page 49 of lanes (using your root) - A man lowly or naturally disposed to good or to do good.
Can you actually read arabic ??
In 521 There is NO Alif-ra-Dad-alif (ardza). The word is Alif-Ra-Dad (ardz) hypno So QD didn't have the meanings you were looking for and you went on to Lane's, interesting. And again wrong page number, its page 47.
I would learn how to read the quran before translating it, if i were you.

simple,
In my previous message I pointed out it wasn't a case of grammar. Also, you ignored what I wanted you to clarify.

Why would finding the meanings of words help you if you are happy to ignore letters in the Arabic Quran? In any case, there is such a book if you wish to improve the quality of your so-called "translations"

I have the above book. It may not contain a complete list however.

Let me explain- when you want to translate between two language ,as i see, the only way is to comprehend the message and then translate it so
in English you say " with gods help" in Urdu you say " Allah ki maddad se" the English has three words and Urdu has four.
Sometimes you may be adding words or subtracting words and to argue over things which don't change the overall message is a waste of time.
Grammer doesn't matter the message does.
Just think if the wording changed to "with Joe's help"

And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath We said to them "Be you abject/mean, despised and rejected."(hope you know which word here is apes)
So swindling with cunning - that is transgressing, how will people see such a person , won't he be mean,despised, rejected?
meanings of words matter a great deal..........to me anyway.
Thanks.
God Bless All.
