    Samia

    Samia, Good try.....your becoming predictable, when confronted with something you don't know or understand, you feel compelled to 'assassinate' the messenger.

    Yes, when the mesenger is a fake . I have no problem with the message, (the page you copied).

    Well, Now you have been taught that Hunna is Feminine Plural , Subject Pronoun

    What nonesense! If anyone understood this gibberish, please explain

    Moving on....

    It obvious someone gave you all of this minutia....isolated facts that are considered separate (irrelevant) from the point

    Look under the first in (nushuuzahunna) what does it say? Do you understand what means? (second part of a possessive construct)
    Look under the second in This word is divided into 4 parts
    We read der it
    We read under it , which means (imeratif in the jussif by deletion of the nuun)
    (&#1608 The wau is the subject/agent/doer
    We read . which stands for direct object

    Then there is which stands for (assumed predicate this is the grammaticl position for the whole word/sentence )

    Very sad state of ignorance! You do not know where I got this "minutia"? It's all written on the page you scanned . Truely some people are ( like a donkey carrying scriptures)

    @Samia, My question to you, are you in agreement that Hunna is a Subject Pronoun, 'isolated' pronoun?

    Now do not deviate from the issue. Do you see (hunna ) used as an isolated pronoun in this verse in question?

    My question to you as a moderator

    1. Do you accept that your grammatical analysis of this verse (just for now) is completely wrong?
    2. Do you admit that you highlighted the wrong correspondng analysis to falsely prove yourself right, even if this results in misleading other members?

    This is not an invitation to you to enter into a grammatical or any discussion with me. I am done with discussing with you on this thread or any other thread.

      Assalaam Alaikum Bismi'lahi Ar Rahman Ar Raheem

      @Samia, I could careless whether you are the moderator or Queen of All Moderators, you have a problem with admitting that you are wrong.

      The truth (is) from ALLAH alone; so be not of those who doubt.

      If any one disputes in this matter with you, after knowledge has come to you, say. ? come! Let us gather together,-- our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves. then let us earnestly pray, and CALL THE CURSE OF ALLAH ON THOSE WHO LIE!?

      This is the true account. There is no god except Allah; and Allah-He is indeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.

      Your argument now Samia is with the Quran NOT me.

      Now, instead of slandering me, bring some evidence to disprove what I have presented.

      If you don't....

      And if they turn away - behold, Allah has full knowledge of the spreaders of corruption.

      Fain tawallaw fainna Allaha AAaleemun bialmufsideena

        Salaam Muslimtruthrevealed,

        In these three expressions, any one with a very small knowledge of Arabic language can easily understand that the subject (the doer of the action) is ?antum? ?you? represented by the letter ?? ?wau?.

        I have no background in Arabic Grammar but I can easily see that.

        You either, now nothing in Arabic language and Arabic grammar or you are twisting the meanings.

        You are 100% wrong and Samia is 100% correct. Please you have to apologize to all for your mistake.

          Excuse me, your kidding right?

          Its Hunna NOT 'antum'. I dont know where you see 'antum', because its NOT there.

          Im not sure why the ?? ?wau? is giving you folks so much grief, its merely a marker denoting the end of the intransitive verb and the pointer to the subject, Hunna . Just look at the other references to in the scan.

          When separate object pronouns (i.e. Hunna ) serve as direct object pronouns they must come BEFORE the verb. Hunna is NOT a direct object, thus it is NOT in the Accusative Case with these verbs

          Hunna is NOT a direct object because it comes AFTER the verb I?DRIBU , which is Intransitive and ONLY requires a Subject, Hunna

          Again, Active Verb, the action is directed outward from the subject (Hunna ), which means that the subject (Hunna ) performs the action but does not receive it.

          Thus, Hunna is the Subject and Agent of the verb I?DRIBU

          I believe the other verbs associated with the subject Hunna are Intransitive also

                  Arabic is much more than picking a word of our suiting from the dictionary and replacing it in a verse according to what we think should be correct, had it been like that , life could have been very easy.

                  I had asked you which meaning you think fits here other than strike/beat? and please prove it that it fits grammatically as well as in the context.

                  what you are advocating is in the next verse, but beating stage is before that

                  4-35 If a couple fears separation, you shall appoint an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family; if they decide to reconcile, GOD will help them get together. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant.

                    Context/cross reference without contradiction less about the Arabic language of the messenger; Quran did not come with Hans Wehr dictionary.

                    Let?s turn it around; prove it means beat/strike according to Quran without contradicting Quran?

                    I showed evidences to live with them if no divorce and/or after divorce;

                    ...so hold/grasp them (F) with kindness/generosity or divorce/release them (F) with kindness/generosity,

                    ...and do not hold/grasp them (F) harming to transgress,

                    ...and who makes/does that, so he had caused injustice (to) himself.

                      To beat is the meaning that most of the translators agree upon and that is how it is/was understood, it is you , who is coming out with something new(which i do not know what it is), so the burden of proof is upon you.

                      so kindly suggest an alternate meaning, which fits in better than strike, and believe me i shall be the happiest person, and the first one to accept it.

                        You are confronting Holiday with what the majority is doing.

                        But Quran in 6.116 says
                        "Now if you pay heed to, or get intimidated by majority of those who live on earth, they will lead you astray from God?s way. Most of the people follow nothing but conjecture and they only live by guesswork"

                            (&#1606 (zawjayn) is used in Quran (11.40 and 23.27) meaning a male and female (a couple)

                            1140 Thus it was until Our command came to pass. Waters gushed forth in torrents over the face of the land. Torrential rain began and the rivers started over flowing. We commanded Noah to take with him livestock, a couple each, and to take his family and followers with him. The rejecters, of course, were not to embark. The community of believers with Noah was small.

                            ( &#1601 (zawjan min kheefaf) signifies a pair of boots.

                            A man and his wife together are termed zawjan (&#1606

                            And in Quran (39.6, 6.143, 6.144) ( &#1613 (thamaneeyata azwaj) means eight ones (of pairs or couples)
                            Two sheep, one male and one female, two goats, one male and one female two camels, one male and one female, two cows, one male and one female. (Altogether 4 pairs)

                            So zawj is one of the pairs. A left shoe is a zawj. A right shoe is a zawj. Both of them together are zawjayn.

                            A husband is a zawj. A wife is a zawj (it is also called zawja). Both the husband and wife together are called zawjayn.

                            The left shoe and the right shoe are equal. The right shoe can not be used instead of the left shoe and visa versa. They complete each other. One can not form a pair (zawjayn) of shoes from one left shoe and two ore more right shoes.

                            A pair (zawjayn) is formed by one husband and one wife. One husband and two wives or one wife and two husbands can not form a (zawjayn) pair.

                              Salaam All,

                              A husband is a zawj. A wife is a zawj (it is also called zawja). Both the husband and wife together are called zawjayn.

                              The left shoe and the right shoe are equal. The right shoe can not be used instead of the left shoe and visa versa. They complete each other. One can not form a pair (zawjayn) of shoes from one left shoe and two ore more right shoes.

                              A pair (zawjayn) is formed by one husband and one wife. One husband and two wives or one wife and two husbands can not form a (zawjayn) pair.

                              This is a very simple, correct and to the point explanation! Thank you Tlepsh. I hope this puts poly-zawj in a couple to rest

                                How can you derive deductions of your own suiting being in knowledge of verse , 4-23, specially you samia ?

                                Ladies! you have biases so deep entrenched, that you would not care, even if it amounts to defying God's clear verdicts/commandments. Exactly like that, you would not care if father of your children commits adultery and hence may be doomed to Hell ultimately, you can reconcile with this, provided he does not marry her.

                                What a pity , what a shame? I am terribly disappointed, (

                                    Verse 4-23 does not contradict my opinion about polygamy as being restricted to a specific condition This already restricted condition is further restricted If the mother of the fatherless child (whom you are allowed to marry even if you are married) happens to be a sister of your wife, do not marry her.

                                    Ladies! you have biases so deep entrenched, that you would not care, even if it amounts to defying God's clear verdicts/commandments.

                                    If one of us has to go to hell, let the rat be the one. Why would I and the children go to hell so that he might get married again, and for no reason as stated in the verse? He should learn to control his desires. Just like the logic of covering women so that men do not "sin with their eyes". I say again, I am covering no head or hair, and if they do not learn how to cast their eyes, let them go to hell.

                                        let us assume for a while, that other woman happens to be mother of an orphan, how would it change your situation of so called being in hell?
