    Translation is Translation NOT THE QURAN (A human made stuff) .That is why there is a lot difference of opinions in them.Some Liars translated "Khalifa " as Satan god" and "Al-daabba" as computer.

    When this stuff is from "ghairullahi" (Other than God).Allah says

    Any man made versions of Hadith (old/New) are against Quran.This is satanic agenda to create "confusion".

    Nobody that I've heard of, including Rashad Khalifa, ever translated "khalifa" as 'satan god'. It is always translated as successor or represenative. Rashad also didn't translate "al daabba" as 'computer'. Have you even read his translation? You don't seem to have a clue as to what you're talking about... When it comes to translations, interpretations, and duplicates of the Qur'aan, that is what the scripture was presented for, so it could spread to the world. Are you claiming that you have the ORIGINAL Qur'aan, composed by the prophet himself? How do you know that YOUR Qur'aan isn't also a translation? Just because it's in Arabic doesn't mean it's authentic, and Arabic speakers are known for adding in their own commentary and parentheses to explain THEIR VIEW of what the scripture is saying.

      Brother ! You knowledge about RK is very faulty. Just like you were insisting that Lahori Ahmediis are considered Muslim in Pakistan then I copied pasted the amendment in Constituition of Pakistan.While your claim was without any evidence.

      Exactly ,this is what you are doing about RK .

      Look at his Translations

      Satan A Temporary "god"*
      Recall that your Lord said to the angels, "I am placing a representative (a temporary god) on Earth." They said, "Will You place therein one who will spread evil therein and shed blood, while we sing Your praises, glorify You, and uphold Your absolute authority?" He said, "I know what you do not know."

      Source = http//www.submission.org/suras/sura2.htm

      The Computer Is The Creature*
      At the right time, we will produce for them a creature, made of earthly materials, declaring that the people are not certain about our revelations.
      Foot note on this verse about 2782

      *2782 (2+7+8+2 = 19) The computer was required to unveil the Quran's mathematical miracle, and it proved that most people have discarded God's message (see Appendices 1 & 19).

      Who has not read these translations ???? You or I

        Peace Q_student,

        What all of this stuff has to do Modern Hadith of Translations /Inscriptions/Code 19/www.blablabla.com ?????

        It has everything to do with Modern Hadith. A translation is just an interpretation just like when you interpret and translate in your mind the word " " to mean "the stone cube in Mecca built by the Saudis in 1996 and that people love to kiss and fondle and that has a vagina-shaped enclosure in one of its corners containing some small black stones (Tektites) glued together with epoxy and named the Black Stone." You can't escape making an interpretation/translation in your mind unless you stop thinking alltogether. Your logical fallacy of appeal to popularity in an attempt to escape from the burden of thinking logically and to justify your false translation/interpretation of " " is just another form of Modern Hadith junk since it has absolutely no basis in the great reading.

        Ironically, despite all your criticism of 19ers and Hadithists, Rashad Khalifa and Ahl Al-Sunna interpret and translate the word " " exactly like you do. You have a lot more in common with 19ers and Sunnis than you realize. Practically speaking, you share 99% of their beliefs and so you are likely to find yourself next to a 19er and a Sunni mindlessly revering a useless and inert stone cube and spinning around it in the false hope that all your sins will be forgiven and you will return as if you are a newborn while in reality you are all committing the only unforgivable sin of idolatry. So you should look at yourself in the mirror and worry about yourself first.

        Peace,

        Ayman

            Peace Liquidharma,

            This is strange and disturbing. Couldn't they have used a different coloured glue? Or is it some kind of practical joke that the Saudi princes couldn't help but play?

            The problem is that larger Tektites are rarer and get more expensive. This is why they used small relatively inexpensive ones that they glued together with this brownish epoxy. You can find them here for around $100

            http//www.meteorites-for-sale.com/catalog/tektites-for-sale.html

            They have them on special now so you also get a 10% discount if you spend over a $100. So for a cheap price you could have your own Black Stone just like the one in Mecca. )

            So as brother RasulHamsa indicated, for those who are jaleous of Sunnis because they have a Black Stone, they can spend about a $1,000 and make an even bigger and better Black Stone of their own. ) What is more is that they can use their favorite color for the epoxy and they don't have to settle for the Saudis' brown epoxy which is so old fashioned.

            Peace,

            Ayman

              There is no argument. I showed you the reality of your filthy stone cube idol with pictures that you can see with your own eyes. You are free to not believe your own eyes and instead live in a delusional state imagining that your filthy stone cube idol is " " talked about in the great reading. As you said, millions do anyway so millions+1 won't make a difference to me and I am sure that hell can accomodate 1 more stone cube idolizer.

                Obviously you... ) We're talking about TRANSLATIONS here, bro, not interpretations. Rashad Khalifa, even according to the passage you just posted from his translation, INTERPRETS the "khalifa" to be Satan, but he correctly TRANSLATES the word as 'represenative'. In 2782, he INTERPRETS "al daabba" to be referring to a computer, but he correctly TRANSLATES the word as a 'creature'. There is a big difference, even in this case, between a translation and an interpretation. His interpretation led him to believe in certain things, but this doesn't mean he deliberately mistranslated an Arabic word to fit his own understanding. He simply placed his interpretation in parentheses, like nearly all of the other Qur'aanic translators...

                  Khalifa = does not mean representative (again wrong translation) .Adam was representative of whome ?
                  In parenthesis he clearly rights ,temporary god and the heading of it Satan -temporary god.
                  The same goes to Daabba.
                  Who has given the right to filthy minded Mufassirin old / New to "interpret and distort the meanings of the Quran?
                  These are what I calle Fabricated Hadiths .
                  In old days themes were concocted and Attributed to Prophet PBUH
                  In Present days themes (interpretations) are concocted and Attributed to Quran (Allah)
                  Any fabricated material is Satanic in Nature.
                  Quran forbids to believe in this satanic Fabricated Material.

                    Dude, are you kidding me? You want to base this claim off the literal translation? Fine. The LITERAL translation of "khalifa" is successor or replacement, or a substitution. So, you'd rather believe that Adam (or Satan) was Allah's replacement or His successor? Did Allah go somewhere and substitute Adam in His place? Personally, that sound conflicting with certain other Qur'aanic verses, so I'd rather interpret this as referring to a represenative... How would you translate 230?

                    In parenthesis he clearly rights ,temporary god and the heading of it Satan -temporary god.

                    That's because this is his INTERPRETATION. He translated the word as "represenative".

                    The same goes to Daabba.

                    Yes, he INTERPRETED the passage as referring to the computer, but he translated it as "creature". Is this a faulty translation in your opinion? How would you translate "daabba"?

                    Who has given the right to filthy minded Mufassirin old / New to "interpret and distort the meanings of the Quran?
                    These are what I calle Fabricated Hadiths .

                    So, what would you call your idolization of a 'black rock', circling and kissing it?

                    Any fabricated material is Satanic in Nature.
                    Quran forbids to believe in this satanic Fabricated Material.

                    Define "fabricated material"? Fabricated by whom? You're saying that EVERYTHING outside of the Qur'aan is false and satanic?

                        Peace

                        Unless the Quran is a collection of words with no meaning we can claim it could not be translated. But if the Quran is a book to be understood then the words have meaning but people do not generally know them meanings, hence different intepretations. I feel to intepret the Quran you must first be cleanced with all knowledge of muslim practises and previous translations and start from first principles.

                        Peace

                        Hope

                          peace all,

                          AQ = al quran

                          Like all ahadith/narrations, some can be good, some can be bad, hence AQ itself saying that it is the best and most truthful hadith/narration etc.

                          http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/Hadith_in_Quran.htm

                          And of course, bro Ayman is right in the sense that as soon as one reads something, in order to understand it, their brain interprets/translates whatever they have just read into an understanding. In other words, even if one reads directly from the Arabic of AQ, a reader is still interpreting/translating. This can be proven when several Arabic readers each walk away with different understandings even though they have read the exact same thing. This will not happen all the time, but some of the time. To not understand such a simple point implies a fault in one's reasoning ability or logic and if so, something much worse than a corrupted translation is a corrupted mind, because if one has the latter, then they will find it difficult to differentiate between good info and bad info..... whilst if they have a sound mind then they will often be able to spot a corrupted translation.

                          "to know oneself is the path to true enlightenment" - confucius

                          All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                            Where did Allah say that "That Adam is His Replacement /Representative.
                            Representative = One who represents in the absence of some one?
                            I am waiting for evidence from you that Adam was Allah's representative or Replacement

                            When did I say this? Can you quote me on this?

                            I said that "khalifa" literally means successor, or replacement. Since Allah says in the Qur'aan that He is creating a "khalifa" and placing him on the earth, does this mean that Allah is placing His "replacement" on the earth? Or is it referring to His representative, which is how Rashad Khalifa translated it? Which one is more likely to you? How would YOU translate the word "khalifa"?

                                Okay... So, when Allah said that He is placing a "successor" on the earth, who was this person (Adam) succeeding? Who was the person, or group of people, that he was replacing? Are they mentioned in the Qur'aan? If you interpret the Head to be Allah Himself, then "khalifa" would have to be translated as representative, since Allah can't be replaced or substituted by anyone. And regarding the "temporary god" issue, maybe you should ask Rashad Khalifa, the translator. That's his interpretation, not mine.

                                  For the sake of your information ,Allah does not need any Representative. Is this RK influence ,that you are Creating Allah's Representative.
                                  As far asking RK is concerned ,why are you defending him. You very know that he was a LIAR as he blamed the Quran and Allah for lying.
                                  Either stop defending that Liar or justify his interpretations.

                                  Regards

                                    Is such negativity and slander necessary, brother? -\

                                    Rashad Khalifa simply interpreted this passage as referring to Allah's "representative", just like you've interpreted the passage to refer to a successor. Is this a crime? I'm not defending Rashad Khalifa, I'm simply saying that maybe you should try to understand his views (and why he believed in them) before you judge him, especially considering the fact that he's no longer here to defend himself.

                                    How did he accuse Allah and the Qur'aan of "lying"? Can you cite some examples of where he made this claim? Please quote it and, if you can, post the link.

                                      Did not Quran (Allah ) say that Quran is Preserved ?
                                      RK said ,"no it was adulterated for 1400 years" .
                                      Is this not a blame on the Quran ?

                                      Allah said "No one can change my words"
                                      RK said ,"No, Code nineteen can change it and he threw out two verses".
                                      Is this not a blame on the Quran ??
                                      Is the Quran Lying and RK (LIar of the Century ) Correct ?

                                        No. God says that the Qur'aan is preserved in a "master tablet". Obviously this isn't talking about the Qur'aan that we have today, since where would this master tablet be?

                                        Allah said "No one can change my words"
                                        RK said ,"No, Code nineteen can change it and he threw out two verses".

                                        This is metaphorical. It's saying that nobody can change the commands of God, since He executes them. It can't be talking about His words, as in the scripture, since the scriptures also confirm that the Torah is the word of God. And 80% of Muslims today would adamantly declare that the Torah has been altered. Isn't this still changing the words of God, even if they're not in the Qur'aan? What makes them any less hypocritical, as liars, than you claim Rashad Khalifa is? If he is a liar, then obviously they are too, right?

                                          Peace
                                          The issue of the added two verses puzzles me...
                                          not because there is some maths gizmo trick that proves it should not be there,
                                          but there is indeed hadiths that say it has been added by scribes without witness, and that is very controversial...
                                          even for those who do not accept most hadith as I do;
                                          why did this hadith come about?
                                          not only it involves Ali (Allah blesses his soul), but curiously enough, no Muslim Sect bothered to implement the finding of the hadith, and thus remove the two ayahs?
                                          also what did the Scribes think the gain would be by adding the two ayahs? if they were indeed added at the end of Ch 9?

                                          No. God says that the Qur'aan is preserved in a "master tablet". Obviously this isn't talking about the Qur'aan that we have today, since where would this master tablet be?
