        Peace Mazhar,

        Dear you make statements in the manner of a hard fact while these are mere blows of the mouth. Grand Qur'aan was revealed in the seventh century. Which city of Mecca it is talking about

        Nothing in 4824 about the inviolable house being in a city called Mecca. Where does it say in 4824 that Mecca is the name of a city? You don't seem to know what "mecca" means and you take it as meaningless. If you translate it then you will understand what 4824 is saying and you will reach certainty that the great reading is from the god and has been preserved by the god.

        Peace,

        Ayman

          Peace Mazhar,

          Ayman, peace
          If Mecca did not exist prior to 8th century CE, then which city is this with whose Sustainer Lord we should be allegiant?

          "Indeed I was advised that I should remain subject/subservient/allegiant to the Sustainer Lord of this City, which He has declared sanctified,

          Where does it say the name of this city? Had the name of the city been important then the god would have said "this city named X".

          Again, you need to bring real evidence from the great reading not from your preconceptions. It is good to see that you are going back to the great reading and have abandoned your "physical reality" argument since by now you probably learned that this opens up a can of worms for Mecca. Hopefully, you can continue on the right track.

          Peace,

          Ayman

            Actually God did not consult you before putting this name.

              Dear Ayman;

              My sinere and heartfelt advice to you is to start learning Arabic from Sisiter Samia; She is never hesitant and irritant to teach. I never feel shy in asking her to guide and make me understand even elementary things about Arabic.

              This is a statement made by a human being

              and he is referring to the specific city and the Sustainer Lord of that city. If you cannot find and name that city then who is that lord whom you worship because the man who made this statement says he is to remain loyal and sincere to the Sustainer Lord of "this city"? If you do not recognize then you also do not recognize the man who said it. Sustainer Lord is recognized and then understood only by physical realities not by abstract hypothetical assertions. Allah is recognized only by "Aa'ya'aat" and these are physical realities all around us.

                  Idolatory in pure physical terms is sculpting statues and declaring them as various iela'aha after giving them imaginative names. Idolators do not worship or call upon all sorts of stutues. Honouring and veneration does not constitue idolatory.

                    Indeed, sister Samia has helped me on many things. Why don't you ask her what the word "mecca" means?

                    The present day town named Mecca is that town only in your imagination.

                    Besides the fact that the town presently called Mecca didn't exit prior to the 8th century CE, the physical reality is that the same city is referred to in the great reading with figs and olives and a mountain

                    This certainly doesn't sound like Mecca which has no figs and no olives. These are found in northern Arabia.

                    Peace,

                      Througout the thread you are in "abstract" frame of mind. I talk about ground facts but you do not mention the name of "this city" where a particular "bait" exists upon whom the claimant is Allah since He calls it "My house".
                      If that is not Mecca as you emphatically claim that it came into existence in 8th century then please name it.

                      Terms like northern Arabia, southern Arabia is not the translation of such specific words

                      By the way who told you/from where you got this "Mecca didn't exit prior to the 8th century CE".

                        If that is not Mecca as you emphatically claim that it came into existence in 8th century then please name it.

                        You are the one who is stuck in an abstract frame of mind. Names are 100% abstract and have no relation to reality. Your name Mazhar means "appearance" in Arabic. Are you an "appearance"? Is this who you really are according to physical reality?

                        Similarly, there are many people named Mohamed, does this mean that they are the prophet? Anyone can name something this or that. This doesn't reflect the reality or truth.

                        You have to get beyond the superficial name and look at the reality of things. The location given in 2226 is the REALITY irrespective of what superficial untrue names people give to locations and things.

                        If someone in the 8th century CE named a town Al-Balad Al-Amin then does this make it the location? Is "al-balad al-amin" a name or a description?

                        Terms like northern Arabia, southern Arabia is not the translation of such specific words

                        Northern Arabia is where figs and olives grow. This is REALITY.

                        By the way who told you/from where you got this "Mecca didn't exit prior to the 8th century CE".

                        This is a fact based on great reading constantly talking about this town as a town with a multi-faith population of the people of the book. Yet no one from the people of the book ever heard about a town called Mecca prior to the 8th century CE. You can easily prove me wrong by bringing any evidence for the existence of Mecca prior to the 8th century CE.

                        More importantly, here is the Classical Arabic meaning of the common noun "mecca"

                        ( &#1591

                        From the Mohit Classical Arabic dictionary, one can see that "mecca" can have the following meanings

                        • Sucking everything out
                        • Destruction and wearing down

                        Here is the Yusufali translation

                        1. And it is He Who has restrained their hands from you and your hands from them in the midst of Mecca after that He gave you the victory over them. And Allah sees well all that ye do.

                        Here is the translation of 4824 using Classical Arabic dictionaries and the context of war from the passage to translate the common description "mecca"

                        1. And it is He Who has restrained their hands from you and your hands from them in the midst of destruction after that He gave you the victory over them. And Allah sees well all that ye do.

                        The common meaning fits perfectly with the context of a war and standoff in 4824. This is an amazing observation. Besides discrediting the paganism going on in present day Mecca, it means that we can be 100% sure that the great reading is the preserved word of the god. The pagans couldn't even insert one word or change it to name the location of the pagan shrine they established. They were forced to hijack a clear common noun. When we see the truth, we achieve certainty. This is something a stone cube can never do for you no matter how long you stare at it.

                        Peace,

                        Ayman

                          My dear Ayman;

                          Watch your words; they show and expose the inner frame of mind and heart of a person.
                          See the first word of Grand Qur'aan, "great reading" as you call it. You call it "great" but do not accept it. The first information it gives is this "Beginning is with Name/Code"; and you think name is something abstract. Yes it is abstract when you innovate an imaginative/hypothetical name when the thing or person being referred through this innovate name is non existing.

                            Tell me which hypothetical name I "innovated". It is you who is worshipping innovated hypothetical names. Just because some guy named a pagan stone cube Kaaba, it doesn't mean that it is the real base/"kaaba" talked about in the great reading. The great reading is only for those who use their god-given common sense. As for those who disregard their common sense because of some man-given names, nothing matters for them anyway. You see them here on this thread unable to understand the great reading or its clear words such as "kaaba" and "mecca" and are thus unable to translate them and instead provide lame excuses.

                              The great reading gives physical facts and realities which do not come into the focus of those who live in hypothetical world. See the ground realities

                              Please answer in physical terms where it exists?

                              And when you do not know " My House" obviously you cannot be amongst its those who sit around it. When you do not know the House and its location/city how can you claim that you worship the Lord of that house?

                                  The great reading gives physical facts and realities which do not come into the focus of those who live in hypothetical world. See the ground realities

                                  Please answer in physical terms where it exists?

                                  And when you do not know " My House" obviously you cannot be amongst its those who sit around it. When you do not know the House and its location/city how can you claim that you worship the Lord of that house?

                                  They ayat you quoted fails the test. Tell me, does the kaaba allow AN-NAS/mankind to go there?

                                  Al bayt is for mankind. They will come in flocks. The 'kaaba' in existence fails the test in every way.

                                  Where is al hajj? Since, all of mankind will flock to it, we will just 'know' it. Note it can be taken metaphorically, 'mankind', i.e. people of all races are allowed, etc..

                                  Are you telling me that when Al quran uses 'al kaaba' it means any place that calls itself 'al kaaba' on earth?

                                      you are kidding for sure, countless times we've been told the location of kaaba and bayt-allah in countless ahadith! ever heard of Bukhari PBUH? You know nothing about history of Islam and claim to understand quran? are you for real?

                                        Peace Mazhar,

                                        Why don't you translate the passages that you provided so that we can see if you understand them or not.

                                        Peace,

                                        Ayman
