    Peace to all,

    Ive been thinking lately about God and how he has communicated to us throught his messengers, there is always only one message from God he sends through different prophets, when Moses was given the law he also spoke of another messenger coming after him, then jesus brought the same message and said he confirms the scripture before him by bringing his gospel, and that he has not changed the law at all but has only come to fulfill it, and then he too speaks of another messenger to come after him, or the paraclete/ advocate, whom Jesus says will fulfill all truth and finalize the message that he brought, so then Mohammad comes with the Quran and it says it is the confirmation of the messages before it, and indeed it is, so each in the past confirms what will come, and what has come confirms what was in the past, with Mohammad and the Quran being the perfect and final protected message to all mankind. So, I think that when Jesus says in the gospel that he will return someday and be with us even unto the end of time, he is not speaking about his body coming back and judging us all as some God like deity, what he is saying is that he brought the word from God, he confirmed the word of the past from moses, and he will tell us all of a future word from God that confirms them all, which id the Quran, so the Quran is the return of jesus (the word of GOd) that judges us in all truth and with justice forever, just as jesus said he would, it was the word of God that he embodied while he was here on earth, and now that he has died and gone, his return is the word of God embodied for all time in the Quran. What do you think of this idea?

      Peace,

      007.158
      YUSUFALI Say "O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah, to Whom belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth there is no god but He it is He That giveth both life and death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believeth in Allah and His words follow him that (so) ye may be guided."
      007.159
      YUSUFALI Of the people of Moses there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth.

      Moses,Moses and Moses! No?

      NO!

      To whom is "SAY" being addressed?

        The "unlettered" prophet you are referring to is no one else other than Muhammad ofcourse. Moses was brought up in the royal household of the then Pharaoh and he was probably lettered as he held high posts in Pharaohs regime. The word "unlettered" is a mistranslation, it seems, according to the essence of the scripture. The correct word here is gentile. And Moses is no gentile since he belonged to the Hebrews who were possesors of the scripture.

          And the prophet Jesus was send to give the Gospel the good news. And what is the good news; the advent of a new messenger, a gentile prophet from among the brothers of Moses who would resemble Moses much. And who in history resembles Moses much. None other than Muhammad whom our learned translators have mistranslated the word "Ummiy" to mean as "unlettred", which corrrectly should be rendred as "gentile", someone who is not from among those who were given the scripture before. peace

            Peace,

            NO!

            To Moses! - i think.

            Look at all the ayah's surrounding they are all about Moses and his people arn't they? He got inspiration and could hear Allah.

              Moses was Ummi as he lived his life with pharoe , he never new Godly ways? - i think.

              And when and how did he learn Gods ways?

              http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=11461.0

              And he did go back to them after a long long time, living in the pharoes palace.

              622
              It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlearned a messenger from among themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom,- although they had been, before, in manifest error;-

              I think.

              peace

                Yes, how prior events and guidance are conveyed via 100s of ?qul? or say all address the same messenger

                  Yes, Quran confirms and contains within it the true Torah and Injeel.

                    2716
                    And Solomon was David's heir. He said "O ye people! We have been taught the speech of birds, and on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things this is indeed Grace manifest (from Allah.)"

                    Look here solomon is being sent to all men........................look at the Arabic, and not what they have translate it to.

                    Yes, how prior events and guidance are conveyed via 100s of ?qul? or say all address the same messenger

                    "Say"- addresses different people at different times in the quran, we have to look to who is in the context - i think.

                    Salaam.

                      The Arabic can be twisted same as translations; correct meaning does not contradict.

                      Read Surah "in context" which begins

                      Ta-seen, these are verses the Quran?s and book clear
                      Guidance and good news to the believers

                      Who is relaying this information?

                      Yes, think find one qul (not qala) not addressing the same messenger of Quran.

                        If not who do you say is saying it? nope

                        ya ayyuha alnnasu=ya ayyuha alnnasu= "O ye people" and this is the same in both ayah's 2716 and 7158 ??

                          7158 is a command to ?say?
                          2716 is a narration what was said

                          The messenger of Quran is told to relay the stories of prior events and/or to give examples/guidance.

                            2716 and 7158 i thought showed that different messengers where sent to men everywhere unless we say that in both cases its the same person speaking or something like that.

                                peace


                                Transliteration Qul man kana AAaduwwan lijibreela fa-innahu nazzalahu AAala qalbika bi-ithni Allahi musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi wahudan wabushra lilmu/mineena

                                297 Say "Who was an enemy to Gabriel , so that he descended it on your heart/mind with God's permission, confirming to what (is) between his hands, and (a) guidance and a good news to the believers."

                                say "HE descended it on your heart....................confirming what between HIS hands...."

                                on your heart......(but).....HIS hands

                                "your" and "his"

                                so Gabriel descends it to peoples heart what is between Gabriels or the prophets hands.

                                isn't that what is implied?

                                God Bless.

                                  How can Gabriel be saying "say" when the same ayah is also saying "HE descended it"

                                  and by whom
                                  http//www.islam-muslims.org/quran/2/97

                                  If you are content that "say" is addressed to the last prophet, open a different thread as to transmission.

                                  Peace

                                      Sure thing.

                                      297 Say "Who was an enemy to Gabriel, so that he descended it on your heart/mind with God's permission, confirming to what (is) between his hands, and (a) guidance and a good news to the believers."

                                      1. Say is addressed to last prophet (clear)

                                      2. Transmission medium is through Gabriel to the prophet?s mind with God?s permission (clear)

                                      3. Confirming to what between his hands (not clear)

                                      4. Guidance and good news to the believers (clear)

                                      31-3
                                      Alif-lam-meem

                                      Allahu la ilaha illa huwa alhayyu alqayyoomu
                                      God, no God except He, the alive, the of no beginning and self sufficient.

                                      Nazzala AAalayka alkitaba bialhaqqi musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi waanzala alttawrata waal-injeel
                                      He descended on you The Book with the truth, confirming to what (is) between His hands, and He descended the Torah and the Injeel.

                                      Now clear ?between His hands? is non literal meaning from God; cross reference for consistency
