    Salam Belalhammad,

    I have been trying to find a historical person from scripture that fits the description of these verses.
    In fact there are many stories and historical people that these verses could be speaking of. The fact that the verses do not specifically speak of WHO the person is, leaves me to believe that maybe we shouldn't try to MAKE a person fit.

    It says what it says.

    And, we cannot insert any names or other information into that reading. Even guessing who it is speaking of.

    The fact is that WHO the person is....is irrelevant. Why do I say that? Because if it WERE relevant the Quran would have indicated who it was.

    The message of the verses is what is important.

    Salam,
    Arnab

      The root "Kh Lam Dal" means to stick to something and be committed to it/ to stay. Expressions such as "khladaa ila al-noum/raa7a went in deep sleep, quiet rest" are common. The "eternal" meaning is an extension of this and not an original meaning of the verb. The verse gives the example of those who entrust this life and reject higher principles which guarantees them a better life to come.

          Peace All
          Sorry, I was away from my computer,

          Peace brother,
          2134 And We did not give immortality to any human being that came before you. If you are going to die, would they be immortal?
          I think there is a misunderstanding that this person is "eternally" on earth.

          peace

          I agree with verse 21-34

          But Verse 7-176 does not say eternal life only, but a restricted eternal life. The eternal life is in Earth only, and restricted by the Earth life ?Hayat Eldonia?; which means that he will die at the end, along with Satan and every human on earth (some say even Angels).

          Peace Hati,
          Please explain to me in words (I'm very bad in numbers) confused.

          The verse gives the example of those who entrust this life and reject higher principles which guarantees them a better life to come.

          Peace
          Which means, most humans are under this verse; but what so special about this verse, when God told the prophet, in the beginning of the verse, "recite to them the story of...".

          I think there is a deeper meaning, which I do not understand fully yet. Thus, I think we should think more about this verse.
          Peace

          Salam Belalhammad,

          Peace Arnab
          My post was to understand if the verse means that there is a human who is or will live a long time on earth.
          I was not trying to find a name, because if God did not reveal it, no one can.

          Peace

            My mistake then, I thought you were looking for an actual person from any of the scriptures.

            However, I spent a lot of enjoyable time trying to find someone to fit the description.

              Peace be upon you,

              Wait a minute...you mean there is a devil out here in the earth with us? Is he red with horns and a tail? What does he eat and drink? Did he vote for Obama or Hillary? (assuming he is a US citizen).

              If the word "eternally" is present , then it is only to emphasize how committed to the lower life this person...rather ANY PERSON who fits this example..is.

              Dont waste your time trying to find the forever living man

                Peace Hati,

                The worst thing they did was introduce verse numbers causing people to read out of context and come up with nonsense which anyone with basic math knowledge can plainly see.

                1974 takes the prize for absurdity topping even the dumbest hadith ever invented.

                Why do you suppose this is in the verse?

                ... Such is the parable of the people who reject Our Ay?t. So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect (7-176)

                  Peace Nun de plume

                  And recite to them the story of him to whom We gave Our Ay?t, but he threw them away, so Shait?n (Satan) followed him up, and he became of those who went astray. (7-175)
                  And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he clung eternally to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his parable is the parable of a dog if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the parable of the people who reject Our Ay?t. So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect (7-176)

                  So his parable is the parable of a dog

                  Such is the parable of the people who reject Our Ay?t

                  God meant That the parable of the people who reject Our Ay?t is the parable of a dog.
                  That is how I understand it.

                  Peace

                    Exactly!

                    That is why him (singular) is used in beginning and not "them" (plural) to compare a human to a dog (singular).

                    Waotlu AAalayhim nabaa allathee ataynahu ayatina...
                    And read/recite on them whom We gave/brought him Our verses/evidences...

                    Thus it's a parable and not about a single person living forever; although there will forever be rejectors.

                    Peace

                      So are you bothered that the number 504 725 born 11 19 1935 died 1 31 1990 fits 7175-176? Dont be bothered with what you call nonsense on arithmetic.

                              1. 7175-176 is NOT about ANY single person -- it's a parable!

                              2. Thousands of names = GV 504 with people born/dieing everyday.

                              3. Juliann calendar dates which people MADE UP have NOTHING to do with Quran

                              Lastly, the math is comical and trial is to read/believe Qur'an or imaginary self appointed messengers.

                              This is no different than hadith story tellers who likewise prey on the naive ignorant masses.

                                "Wa Etlo Alyhim Nabaa Ellazi" Recite To Them the Story of to whom. NABAA Means a True Story, and Elazi refers to one person.

                                If God said "recite to them the parable (example)", in Arabic " Wa Etlo Alyhim Mathel", that would mean A Parable Story.

                                In the entire Quran, when God telling us a true story, he uses "NABAA" or "Kasses".

                                  How about he clung "as long as is possible" to the earth. Could that be a valid meaning of K L D?

                                    Conjecture on word usage and Qur?an said exactly that ?His parable is that of the dog."

                                    The Qur?an contains literal and parables and is also referred to as a story...

                                    3867 Say "Is it (a) great news/information?"

                                    Sura Naba (7 - The Great Event

                                    Above is mostly allegorical as are many verses in Qur?an and we determine if a story is literal not by assumptions on word used for story, rather by reading/listening to context of the story and using our common sense.

                                    Peace

                                      Peace Belal,
                                      How about he clung "as long as is possible" to the earth. Could that be a valid meaning of K L D?

                                      Peace,

                                      The arabic three words
                                      Earth To Forever

                                      To translat this words to english in a way that would reflect the rich meaning of the three words, one can say "Lived forever to earth", "God gave him a very long life on earth". But forever life cannot be ignored.
                                      Peace

                                      Sorry I do not understand what you are trying to say.
                                      But The Root word Nabbaa clearly means "telling some thing true"; please note that the word prophet in Arabic means "Nabbi" (from the root word Nabbaa) which translate to a person who says truth and do not lie.
                                      The story is a true story and not an example "parable". the word parable was used to tell us that this person is a parable of a dog, in other words, he is like a dog.

                                      Sora Elnaba, is about True Event, which is the Judgement Day. In the Sora, God telling us about very true events that will take place in the Judgment Day; Thus, True Story.

                                      Peace

                                        The parables used in Qur?an are not lies; they are example stories to illustrate true principles.

                                        Likewise, he (singular) liked to parable of a dog (singular) and ?such is the parable of the people who reject Our Ayat? teaches a true principle ? nothing to do with fictitious stuff like this...

                                          If the story in youtube is true, then this is the man in verse 7-176.
                                          If not, then.......I don not know the meaning of the verse yet.
                                          Peace
