    If you understand what you are explaining in the above post, that should do. " aabaa' Fathers" are not necessarily males only. Scan the qur'aan for this word "'aabaa'" and show me where it must be males only.

    Moreover, 33-5 says "if ye know not their father's ", and if knowing the Mother is never been a problem and knowing the Father is a problem, then "Abaohom" is for Fathers.

      Peace,

      Here's some trivia
      Who said this? (hint, no relation to Isa)

      "Son of my mother, the people overpowered me and nearly killed me, so do not make the enemies rejoice over me, and do not make me with the wicked people."

      peace

          Peace belalhammad,

          Nicely done!
          Do you know of any "son of my father" quotes in the qur'an? Or "son of ______ (male name)"

            I personally do not identify with this, "cannot be named by your mother as it is wrong" you previously said that it was cultural, but you are trying to say in the same breath that it is in the Qur'an when Man and Woman are equal on grounds except who is the protector and who is the raiser of the children. I believe this is the same sexism and subjugation I see resonating through the Hadith. I need to know enough Arabic to justify my point. Isn't it so sons are named after Fathers, Daughters after Mothers? Orphans after Mothers or Fathers that died? Does it matter? Its not wrong to do either, someone said aba is not gender specific. I'm not sure, but that would make more sense.

              Do you call your Arabic...Arabic.
              Well, I call it a Twisted Arabic. It is an Arabic that meant to Mislead away from the true meaning of the Arabic.

              I always quote the dictionaries, I never make the meanings up or assume I know them through the modern common meanings. Quranic Arabic is different from Modern Arabic since MSA has been changed and shaped by a 1000 years of secterianism, Christian/Jewish and Persian influences. Maybe it is a humble suggestion to stop assuming your Arabic is the same as the Arabic of the Prophet and study the classic dictionaries to get a better picture of the possibilities of the meanings of some key words we have discussed.

                Are you an arbic speaker?
                I'm.

                Question irrelevant. Lane was not arabic speaker. Many arabic speakers do not know arabic (these are not examples of you or me, just examples).

                Om and Ab are not just natural parents. They are parents who sustained and brought up the child. A father who left his child and never cared about it is not "ab" but "walid". This (i.e ab; om) also covers "adoptive" fathers and nursing women, whom God called "your nursing mothers".

                "ad3iyaa' " is the plural of "da3ii imposter, claimant, not real" It has nothing to do with adopted sons. The claimant could be the one who made himself your son, not you who claimed him to be your son, but you liked it and went with it, without you being really his sustainer (ab). Maybe just for the sake of prestige.

                The ancient pictographs of the root alif-ba (based on Ancient Hebrew) are

                alif=ox head
                beyt/ba=floorplan of a house

                when they are put together one can understand that one of the meanings is "strong one of the house."

                aka sustainer; not necessarily male; and not necessarily the natural father, otherwise, the pictograph could have drawn something else
                Back to verse 434 ? confused

                "Son of my mother, the people overpowered me and nearly killed me, so do not make the enemies rejoice over me, and do not make me with the wicked people."

                Good point

                  Arnold
                  As you know SHRIK is to associate with God what he did not indicate in His Books; can you tell me how did you associate with God (his religion) that Jesues Has a Father, and his name is "Joseph? (I need a proof from The Quran).
                  And if you do not, then if I follow you I will be making you God within God, simple as that.

                  1. See 688 and 359. First mentions him part of who's father were blessed, second says he was created as all of mankind is (see present tense of the words).
                  2. I have never said the Qur'an mentions the name nor did I ever state that the name Joseph is correct. I have only said the Bible itself says this to show that the concept of virgin birth was not part of early Christianity itself.

                  Please do not keep mixing up things.

                    Salam,

                    Peace;
                    So, how do you understand 33-5

                    The main difference is in the understanding of "aba." Word by word understandings vary by some degree....

                    Moreover, 33-5 says "if ye know not their father's ", and if knowing the Mother is never been a problem and knowing the Father is a problem, then "Abaohom" is for Fathers.

                    There are times when the mother is unknown....remember when moses was put in the river by his mother....the mother was unknown to pharoah and a great deal of other people (but she was also known to others). It is not unheard of.

                    Salam,

                    This is correct. The word is not gender specific.
                    The word aba is also not gender specific in the Torah, and the Injeel....the same as alif-meem is also not gender specific.

                    Just To clarify....what Belalhammad is saying is CORRECT.

                    However, we must understand at the same time that "aba" is not gender specific.

                    That it can refer to both sexes....then we can fully understand why Isa is called "Isa ibn Marium."

                    Just as a side note
                    The ancient pictographs of the root alif-ba (based on Ancient Hebrew) are

                    alif=ox head
                    beyt/ba=floorplan of a house

                    when they are put together one can understand that one of the meanings is "strong one of the house."

                    Arnab

                    Back to verse 434 ? confused

                    Yes, that is EXACTLY my point! bravo

                      Are you an arbic speaker?
                      I'm.

                      Question irrelevant.

                      Salam,

                      From the way the question is posed..."Are you an arabic speaker?" I see that it is VERY relevant.

                      Belalhammad did not ask "Are you a NATIVE Arabic speaker?" or "Is Arabic your first language?"

                      The question was.... Are you an Arabic speaker? In the present tense....or phrased another way would be....Do you speak Arabic?

                      This question is relevant to see if you are speaking about something you have knowledge of. And it is also a fair question.

                      Lane was not arabic speaker.

                      Yes, Lane WAS an Arabic speaker. Although, Arabic was NOT his first language.
                      He dedicated a good portion of his life to studying the language and composing a dictionary.

                      Salam,

                        The context, Arnab, the context
                        Why is he asking if I speak Arabic? Does he need some directions?
                        Because, when I am abroad, I would ask someone if they speak English to ask for directions, not to engage in an academic, religious, linguistic, legal...or any other serious discussion

                            This is not Sexism, but for a reason that only God knows.

                            But then Moses was named after the Egyption King (male). It is very rare to not know the mother, but easy to not know the father

                              Again, where is your proof from the Qran (a Desicive Verse like the ones that Confirm the Virgin Birth of Jesus).
                              If you think that 6-87 (not 8 and 3-59 are desicive proofs, then you need to learn Arabic, Quran and reasoning before making a FATWA about God Religion hail.

                              1. I have never said the Qur'an mentions the name nor did I ever state that the name Joseph is correct. I have only said the Bible itself says this to show that the concept of virgin birth was not part of early Christianity itself.

                              Arnab
                              Can you confirm that the Bible says what Arnold says (that Jesus has a Father by the name of Joseph)
                              Thanks

                                Salam,

                                This is an interesting question. I going to use English translations to direct people to verses....I am not saying these are accurate translations....they are just to give one a loose idea of the content of the orginal verses.

                                In the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John... I cannot find ONE time that Jesus claims to be the son of Joseph.

                                In fact, on the one occasion where Mary says to Jesus in Luke 241....

                                "You're father and I have been anxiously searching for you".....

                                Jesus replies....
                                'Why were you searching for me?' he asked. 'Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?'

                                (he was in a temple aka his father's house)....thereby correcting his mother who was claiming that Joseph was his father.

                                The above verses are the only time that I can find Joseph being referred to as Jesus' father. And as you see Jesus corrects her.

                                Jesus is called Mary's son not Josephs in Matthew 125
                                Mat 125 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son and he called his name JESUS.

                                Here are some other verses on the pregnancy of Mary.
                                Matthew 118
                                When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

                                Luke 131-35
                                And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring for a son, and shalt call his name Jesus .... Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be seeing I know not a man. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee.

                                Jesus seems to reject being called the son of David as well....
                                Mat 2241
                                While the Pharisees were gathered together Jesus asked them
                                Mat 2242
                                Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
                                Mat 2243
                                He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
                                Mat 2244
                                The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
                                Mat 2245
                                If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
                                Mat 2246
                                And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

                                Mark 1235-37
                                And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that messiah is the son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son?

                                Its only the writings of Paul and Revelations that refer to Jesus (sometimes loosely) as the son of David and once the son of Abraham.
                                But I cannot find in the Christian bible even one time that Joseph is called Jesus's father.

                                  I mean the Last Name or Family name; for example, Mohamed Abdulah (Mohamed is the first name and Abdulah is the father or last name.

                                  I cannot find any referrence to "last names" as we seem them used today in the Quran...Maybe you can direct me to a verse.

                                  I do see people being called first name-child of-parents name. Or simply by their first name.

                                  But then Moses was named after the Egyption King (male). It is very rare to not know the mother, but easy to not know the father

                                  I'm not familiar with any verse where Moses is named after an Egyptian King....maybe you can direct me to this verse as well.

                                    otherwise you are not only violating Gods Laws, but Free-Minds.org rules.

                                        Now can you tell me how many time in the Quran God named a person (male or Female) or people after a Female name?

                                        peace

                                        5-27 it says "Ebni Adam" which mans two sons of Adam (and not Ebni Eve).

                                        10-90 and others says "Bani Israel" which means "Sons of Jacob" (and not of Jacob wife)

                                        66-12 it says "Mariam Bent Omran" which means "dougther of Omran"

                                        and the other verse mean the same "sons of"

                                        Now, "Isa Ibn Mariam", means "Jesus the son of Mary", where else in the Quran can you find a person is called by "Ibn + Female name"

                                        Peace

                                          This about the fathers name, I only see in the Quran the need to keep the identity of the slave and for that hte means are given. Now the slaves were thn and there in Arabia and the means to identify were those that fullfillled that purpose then and there in Arabia, I can't see how from that a command can be extracted to say that a person cannot have her mother's family name. It is too prepoterous, an as to God havin said that, no it is a case where the most efficient means for a result is sought, whereas the naming of whole humanity is a general rule which has nothing to do with the instance in the Quran. I am not slave, I am my mother's and father's daughter, and it is only logical that I am known as such.

                                          To say that the reason God knows, well God mostly gives a reason for everything He enjoings on humans, or the reaosn is obvious. In the case at hand the reaosn is obvious and it is to keep the identity of those slaves.

                                          At any rate, When God in the Quran says Jesus ibn Maryam, he is calling him by her mothers name, so no prohibition of a mother's name, that is clear. Whether he had or not had a father does not matter at all, he could be called by his grandfather name, but he isn't, here in a case where no immediate purpose had to be served that advised to follow the local custom. So yes, we can use our mother's name, which by the way, shen both parents names are used, makes it a lot easier to follow kinships.
