    Anything wrong here? hmm

    yajidoonahu / They find ; Imperfect verb indicates present or future tense meaning ?Is?, occurring NOW and in the Future

    maktuuban is again active participle, means 'writing' 'written' is incorrect.

    AAindina is a preposition which means AT, NEAR, by, WITH, on, AT THAT MOMENT, AT THIS INSTANT, WITH THESE WORDS, IMMEDIATELY ; Hans Wehr Arabic English Dictionary page 759-760 (inda)

    Hum, 3rd person, plural pronoun meaning 'them'

    @Wayfinder, the words all denote present tense NOT past tense meaning, sorry no previous scriptures

    As I mentioned to the 'Torah Peddler' the Quran, Tawrat and Injeel have nothing to do with Torah and Bible, thats been made clear.

      Wrong. It's a passive participle and it means "written".

      AAindina What's this? There's no such word in Hans Wehr. The entry "3inda " is on page 648, not 759. You're not quoting Hans Wehr

      AT THAT MOMENT, AT THIS INSTANT

      These are mentioned under "3inda-ithin " which is completely different from "3inda ".

      WITH THESE WORDS, IMMEDIATELY

      Where did you get this from?

      Not that these are your only mistakes, but I really gave up on correcting your bizarre and wrong grammar since I first started to respond to your posts. Please stop referring to wrong grammar not only because it is wrong but also because it's irrelevant most of the time and serves nothing. Anyone who takes MTR's grammar seriously, does it on their own responsibility.

        Assalaam Alaikum @Samia

        I could careless what you say to attempt to slander my perceptions. Besides I never asked you to 'correct' any perceived mistakes.

        Maktuub / maktuuban is a passive participle, thats true. I was mistaken.

        Now does that qualify you to slander me?

        In our previous discussion you made some rather gross misinterpretations, I dont recall slandering you and attempting to garner an audience.

        @Samia, by the way I dont just use Hans Wehr or one specific reference. I note Hans Wehr or Dictionary of the Holy Quran due to the easy accessibility of these references. So when I note those references, Im NOT 'quoting' them, Im encompassing other sources in the meaning also.

        @Samia, As I illustrated in our previous discussion, your reference to the Free Minds Modern Standard Arabic 'translation' is NOT a valid or proper translation of the Quranan Arabbiyyan. May I suggest, before slandering me in regards to my perceptions relative to the language of the Quran, that you refer to a 'proper' Arabic Quran that maintains the correct tashkheel and Harakat.

        @Samia Now would you care to address Sura 7.157?

        maktuuban is PASSIVE participle, which requires an object, that is being 'written on or to'

        What is this object?

        Something is being 'written to' in present tense, now the preposition AAinda-hum makes that clear

        @Samia What is the 'Object' that is being 'written to' in Sura 7.157?

        I await your response to this question.

        Inda, preposition meaning near, for, to, PRESENCE ; Language of the Holy Quran by Nadwi page 201

        Dictionary of the Holy Quran page 390 (Inda) Preposition meanings 'here, with , by, at the point of, about, from; The word denotes the idea of nearness, whether it be actual in the sense of possession or conceptual, it also denotes a sense of rank or dignity or opinion, time and place"

          Peace MTR

          Initially you were not accepting that the verse were talking about previous scriptures... And not you are agreeing that MATOOBAN means 'written' ... And you are asking on what is it written? What is this question bro?? It says clearly in the verse that 'Which they find WRITTEN in the Injeel and the Torah in their possession..."

          Also, the since the verb is in present tense, it denotes continuity... which means, they will always find it written in their scriptures... Also this verse is making reference to the Nabi and not to the Messenger... You are trying to imply that the guys find it written in the Quran itself... However, most of the places where the Quran is referred, Muhammad is reffered as Messenger in these verses and not Nabi... Correct me if am wrong...

            Nope, sorry, Al Tawrat and Al Injeel are NOT the 'object' of the passive participle Maktoob.

            Besides, Al Tawrat and Al Injeel were 'revealed' NOT 'written'

            Does NOT translate to "Which they find WRITTEN in the Injeel and the Torah in their possession..."

            Thats NOT there at all in the arabic grammar

            Again, the question

            What is the object of the passive participle Maktuban, that is being written to or on?

              Well if my literal and word for word translation is wrong... then the simplest thing you can do is to give the right translation of this phrase... If you look at 7155 - 156 ... You will see that the verse are referring to Musa and his people... the people who we know as Ahl-ul-Kitab... However, I still cannot get your way of thinking...

              If I want to say this in arabic..

              the news is written in the news paper

              I will say...

              Al Akhbaarou matooban fil jareedati...


              In the verse 7157... it says 'Maktooban fit tawraati wal injeel'

              The meaning of this phrase is PLAIN... Moubeen...Clear... Why are you trying to make us see what is not written there??

              The Quran is a guide for humanity in complete.... Its not intended only for high thinkers... Do you think the farmer/labourer etc... I mean those who did not pursue big studies will know about these details and weird gramatical rules... They will have to understand the Quran plainly as Allah says in many times in the Quran, Al-Kitab Al moubeen...

                Salaam MTR

                No one needs permission to correct an error. I am not slandering you. I am telling what you are doing. References are sited so that people verify them, and to your bad luck, I do, and I can easily deduce that either you did not consult Hans Wehr on that specific word as you claimed, or you corrupted the information on that dictionary. Same thing with your claimed reference about Tantawi, whom you claimed has made this and other silly grammar

                Samia as you can see has a tanwiin fatha, which makes the word indefinite, plural and feminine.

                  @Samia

                  If I may inform you, as a Muslim Mumin I dont believe in 'bad luck' or 'good luck' for that matter. As Allah states 'What good comes to you is from Allah, that which is bad, comes from your own soul'

                  In response to your statement....

                  "No one needs permission to correct an error. I am not slandering you. I am telling what you are doing. References are sited so that people verify them, and to your bad luck, I do, and I can easily deduce that either you did not consult Hans Wehr on that specific word as you claimed, or you corrupted the information on that dictionary. Same thing with your claimed reference about Tantawi, whom you claimed has made this and other silly grammar"

                  It's 'cited' not sited. 'sighted', yes

                  Hans Wehr is on the 5th or 6th edition, I use the 4th edition. Thus the page references will be different from previous or current editions.(you corrupted the information on that dictionary?) Secondly, as I stated in a previous post, when I reference a word I use various sources, Hans Wehr is just one, 'what Im doing' is referring the audience to a credible source and easily accessible source.

                  Tantawi? I was referring to Tanween / Tanwiin, the harakah, which makes a word indefinite, plural and feminine, as part of the Idafa Construct a word with tanween can be DEFINITE. (silly grammar?)

                  The reference to Tantawi was to confirm the ayah that we were discussing! You are not being intellectually fair.

                  Here is the post

                  @Samia the ayah

                  Samia as you can see has a tanwiin fatha, which makes the word indefinite, plural and feminine.

                  But Samia, for some reason in the Free Minds "Translation of the Glorious Qur`an" in the Arabic of Sura 73 Muzammil ayah / verse 5 http//free-minds.org/quran/PM/73/5 the tanwiin fatha's are MISSING!

                  In fact the tanwiin fatha's are missing on BOTH "qawlan thaqeelan" in the Arabic!

                  Confirmation Reference Grammatical Analysis of the Holy Quran (Arabic) by Grand Mufti of Egypt, Prof. Dr. Muhammed Sayed Tantawi Reviewed by Mohammed Fahim Abou 'Oubayya (page 773 Surah Al Muzzamil ayah 5)

                  Im sorry, If it offends you, but the Free Minds Arabic translation does NOT have the harakat. Thus the use of the Tantawi reference.

                  @Samia, Its not about you or me, the picture is bigger than you or I, this forum, etc. When we leave this life, the Quran and Muslims will still be here. Thus threatening me means nothing, I will bear my burden and you will bear your burden.

                  Then there are among men such as say, "We believe in Allah"; but when they suffer affliction in (the cause of) Allah, they treat men's oppression as if it were the Wrath of Allah! And if help comes (to you) from thy Lord, they are sure to say, "We have (always) been with you!" Does not Allah know best all that is in the hearts of all creation?

                    @Wayfinder Maktooban is a passive participle, which means a verb, or form of a verb, which expresses the effect of the action on the Subject of the verb, NOT active, but acted upon; receiving impressions or INTERNAL influences

                    Wayfinder, its impossible to 'write' something in past tense, using a passive participle or for that matter to 'write' something in a literal or active sense, a passive participle is just that, passive, internal influence NOT something 'actively' written on papers.

                    @Wayfinder your reference to the ayah is incorrect...

                    "In the verse 7157... it says 'Maktooban fit tawraati wal injeel' "

                    The question still remains to be answered, What is the subject/object that maktooban, the passive participle is influencing?

                      Still you are unable to prove me wrong.

                      • Hans Weir entry is corrupted by you when you mix entries of two different words to add to the meanings of one word.
                      • Tantawi was referred to in his "Grammatical Analysis of the Glorious Qur'aan" for a completely wrong grammatical analysis of a word.

                      Nope, sorry, Al Tawrat and Al Injeel are NOT the 'object' of the passive participle Maktoob.

                      Now tell me, where did you study that a passive participle must have an object, or may even have an object?

                        (revealed) FROM BEFORE, as a guidance to mankind / min qablu hudan lilnnasi, and it is He who has revealed / anzala the standard by which to discern the true from the false / Al-Furqan. Behold, as for those who are bent on denying God's signs / kafaroo bi ayati Allahi - grievous suffering awaits them for God is almighty, an avenger of evil.

                        There is no 'writing' of 'previous scriptures'

                        You wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who resist Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred. For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself / olaika kataba fee quloobihimu al-eemana wa ayyadahum biroohin minhu. And He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein (for ever). Allah will be well pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Truly it is the Party of Allah that will achieve Felicity.

                            Confirmed....

                            Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. You will see them bow and prostrate themselves (in Prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks / seemahum fee wujoohihim , the traces of their prostration. This is their behavior in the Taurat; and their character in Al-Injeel is like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.

                            seemahum means a sign, a characteristic, outward characteristic, feature , trait, stamp, impress, character, facila expression, features, character traits;

                              There is no 'writing' of 'previous scriptures'

                              Are you sure, then what was sent to Sheba other than a previous Quran?

                              Qalat ya ayyuha almalao innee olqiya ilayya kitabun kareemun
                              2729 She said "You, you the nobles, that I, is thrown to me (an) honored book

                              Innahu min sulaymana wainnahu bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi
                              2730 That it truly is from Soliman, and that it truly is by God's name the almighty, the most merciful.

                              Innahu laqur-anun kareemun
                              5677 That it truly (is) a Quran, honored

                                You answered your own question!

                                Quran Kareem!

                                Sulaiman,as sends the Kitab to Saba....

                                "Go you, with this Kitabi of mine, and deliver it to them. then draw back from them, and (wait to) see what answer they return"...

                                Ithhab bikitabee hatha faalqih ilayhim thumma tawalla AAanhum faonthur matha yarjiAAoona

                                There was, for Saba, aforetime, a Sign in their home-land - two Gardens to the right and to the left. "Eat of the Sustenance (provided) by your Lord, and be grateful to Him. a territory fair and happy, and a Lord Oft-Forgiving!

                                Then they rejected....Quran Kareem

                                But they turned away (from Allah), and We sent against them the Flood (released) from the dams, and We converted their two garden (rows) into "gardens" producing bitter fruit, and tamarisks, and some few (stunted) Lote-trees.

                                That was the Requital We gave them because they ungratefully rejected Faith. and never do We give (such) requital except to such as are ungrateful rejecters.

                                  yajidoonahu / they find maktooban / written, described, whose example is defined AAinda / near, on, with hum / them fee / in Al-Tawrati wa Al-Injeeli

                                  Confirmed....

                                  Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. You will see them bow and prostrate themselves (in Prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks / seemahum fee wujoohihim , the traces of their prostration. This is their behavior in the Taurat; and their character in Al-Injeel is like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.

                                  seemahum means a sign, a characteristic, outward characteristic, feature , trait, stamp, impress, character, facila expression, features, character traits;

                                  wujoohihim means direct face

                                  Peace MTR

                                  I see that you are making another attempt to bypass the 7157 and redirecting our attention elsewhere on other verses and you are therefore arousing a lot of confusion around... The 7157 is so plain and clear, however, your biased view is urging you to use the other verse as a confirmation... the very same verse which you keep pasting on and on... Whats wrong with you? Whats wrong wrong with your logic?

                                  However, what I can find very wrong with you is your arabic grammar....

                                  You are using all kind of words to describe the state of these words.... Can you use arabic words themselves to define these words?

                                  MAKTOOBAN --> Haal, Mansoob (Do you know what this means?)

                                  HAAL is a state of a word which denotes a state of something... Same as RAAKI3AN(bowing or humble state), QAA'IMAN (standing state) etc...

                                  HAAL are always MANSOOB.... And this is the proof that MAKTOOB(AN) is a HAAL here....

                                  MAKTOOB means written down... Can you find another meaning from the dictionaries? The object on which it is written down is clearly stated in the 7157 itself... Its written down 'FEE / in" At Tawrat and Al-Injeel.... But no idea why this is not fitting in your head.... Although its plain and clear...

                                  The fact is, this 7157 alone proves that Al-Tawrat and Al-Injeel were written down... We all know that something written down cannot happen in the present... Since the Quran was currently being revealed, it cannot link back to mean the Quran.... This 7157 alone make your whole theory collapse....

                                  I advice you to stop bringing so much confusion in the minds of people....

                                  IF YOU WANT TO REPLY AGAIN, PLEASE, MAKE A WHOLE LONG POST ON THE 7157 ALONE AND NOT GO PASS IT IN 1 LINE.... IF VERILY, YOU ARE AMONG THE ONES WHO SPEAK THE TRUTH...

                                  Regards

                                    Excuse me what is wrong with you?

                                    You folks are so fixated on condemning and vilifying me that you cant see the forest for the trees....

                                    Again....

                                    Al Tawrat and Al Injeel is REVEALED!!!! NOT written

                                    Get over it!!!!!

                                    You tried to ignore the preposition AAinda and the pronoun 'hum' in a previous post, because thats the ONLY way you can suggest that the subject/object of the passive particle maktooban, can 'write' to Al Tawrat and Al Injeel.

                                    That did'nt work.

                                    Then someone wants to 'play' and 'manipulate' the grammatical rules by suggesting the passive particle does NOT require a subject/object. Just so you all can say Al Tawrat and Al Injeel was 'written', unbelievable.

                                    That did'nt work either.

                                    Ok Lets see If the 'Hal' works for you....

                                    Define the accusative case in 7.157.....The Object...The Subject...The Verb

                                    Allatheena yattabiAAoona alrrasoola alnnabiyya al-ommiyya allathee yajidoonahu maktooban AAinda-hum fee alttawrati waal-injeeli

                                    I await your answer.....

                                      Why to get over it? Because you are saying so? Even if it is in clear contradiction against the Quran... Also, its not of my intention to vilify you or whatever... It is just about proving your assumptions to be wrong when compared against what the Quran has to say...

                                      You tried to ignore the preposition AAinda and the pronoun 'hum' in a previous post, because thats the ONLY way you can suggest that the subject/object of the passive particle maktooban, can 'write' to Al Tawrat and Al Injeel.

                                      I await your answer.....

                                      I told you... stop using these terms such as accusative/active participle or whatever... Use the original arabic terms as we learn in the NAHOU classes... For instance a noun can be marfou3,mansoob, majroor... same for a verb, but the verb can also remain mabnii...

                                      MAKTOOBAN is HAAL... the proof is from the grammar rule that haal is always mansoob... mansoob means it ends with fatha/fathataan/yaa-noon

                                      INDAHOUM is 'in their possession'... in whose possesion? definitely in the possession of the subject of this phrase, therefore 'those who are following the gentile prophet'... these guys are the subject of this phrase... INDAHOUM links back to them... Therefore, they have it written in their possesion... Now written in WHAT?? Again in same phrase... FII means IN... do u this meaning? Now in WHAT? At-Tawraat and Al-Injeel....

                                      A phrase as simple as this ' Those who follow the gentile prophet/rasool whom they find written in their possesion in the tawraat and the injeel....' is so difficult to understand?

                                      Again you fail to understand what Allah has revealed clearly and you are focussing on blurry parts... check this verse...

                                      He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except God. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.

                                      Also in your previous post... you brought the verse from Aal Imran to confirm this verse... However the 7157 itself is a confirmation verse, it is confirming the prophethood of Muhammad... So do we need another verse to confirm another confirmation verse? What about another verse to confirm the confirmation verse of the confirmation verse .... Endless loop.... When a verse is confirming something... It is stand alone...

                                      I think I did not tell this anywhere, but I work in primary school and I teach Arabic language... Before becoming Arabic teacher, I studied arabic at school, then college, then institute before I get my teaching license... One of the main things we learn is the GRAMMAR or NAHOU and it is very important for the language... learning Arabic through english is not the right/best way... Arabic should be learn through arabic itself... same for the grammar and the grammatical lingo... So if you want to discuss this verse grammar-wise... you should discuss it using ARABIC lingo as we are dealing with arabic grammar which is very special compared to most other languages... So the ball is on your side....

                                        @Wayfinder......

                                        What? Why all the minutia?

                                        All I asked for was to identify the Hal accusative case in 7.157

                                        Allatheena yattabiAAoona alrrasoola alnnabiyya al-ommiyya allathee yajidoonahu maktooban A'inda-hum fee alttawrati waal-injeeli

                                        Let me assist you.....

                                        Hal Accusative must be accusative or finite verb and must be placed AFTER the direct object. By the way, the Hal Accusative is 'nearly' ALWAYS an active participle, but may be a passive participle or even a verbal noun.
                                        Language of the Holy Quran by Nadwi page 347 - 348

                                        @Wayfinder You have to consider the function both of the verb and of the preposition demanding the accusative in 7.157 (maktooban AAinda / -hum / &#1585

                                        maktooban is NOT a finite verb, its a passive participle / , non-finite verb

                                        @Wayfinder, Now you have to identify the Hal Accusative, because obviously maktooban does NOT meet the Finite Verb qualification.

                                        Then your NEXT problem is trying to 'position' the Hal Accusative AFTER the direct object, that YOU claim are Al-Tawrat & Al-Injeel

                                        @Wayfinder Again, Identify the Hal accusative case in 7.157 and position it correctly AFTER a direct object NOT subject, but object

                                        I await your response.

                                          I have no idea what haal accusative /positive/negative or whatever you are talking about... Can you give me the arabic term of this please... it will make more sense for me and what I have to look for...

                                          Well, let's just forget 7157 for this time and focus on this little sentence...

                                          --> I found the news written in the newspaper

                                          In Arabic --> wajad tou al-akhbaara maktooban fil jareedati

                                          Is this phrase correct? If not... then don't just post your grammar rules, BUT also correct this and re-phrase it as it should be...

                                          Thank you....
