Translations - Another dangerous form of Hadith
-
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

Either stop defending that Liar or justify his interpretations.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 ?

Is this not a blame on the Quran ?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?

Is the Quran Lying and RK (LIar of the Century ) Correct ?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?

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?

Mashallah ! Typical Rk thinking.
Preserved in Master Tablets???. May I ask you ,is there any RK who can try to change the Quran.Even Satan has no access there.There is no need to say that it is preserved in master Tablets.
This can only be said for the place where there are Likihood of Satans and RKs who can try to change it.Use common sense.As far as Your metaphorical theory is concerned. It is part of that mania which is deluded with the concept whatever you mind says ,declare it metaphorical.
For muslimsRK and his followers may say that this verse is not part of the Quran. It was added later.After all there must be some way to make the integrity of the Quran doubtful.
They can also say that It is metaphorical.------> metaphorical -------> metaphoricalIt is the reason Quran said
(50)
BTW Where is Allah's REPRESENTATIVE as per RK ? I am looking for it.
Note Your Quran whose author is RK might not be protected but Our Quran whose author is Allah is fully Protected Alhamdulillahi

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?I think that you have it the other way around. Khalifa removed the 2 verses as a result of the Hadiths. He merely used numerology to justify this preconception from Hadiths. Had the Hadiths mentioned different verses then he would have applied his numerology to these.
Peace,
Ayman

Peace and blessings Ayman,
Allow me to wonder, 9128-129 seem two pretty inconspicuous verses.
Surely adding these does not corrupt the Message either way.
Corruption worth talking about would be if ayahs were indeed removed from the original, and accepting that
this did not happen is a leap of faith, this is where Belief comes into force, because after all we need to take
Allah's word for it.
I do because of accepting the Message as really being the Word of Allah, and hopefully being a Believer, but how about others?
Another intriguing thing about belief is when you look at other faiths, for instance many Christians and Jews
will swear that their parts of the Bible constitute the unadulterated and infallible words of God despite the contradictions therein
(we know where these come from).
That explains how the Muslims who cling to Hadith justify their Beliefs too.. and it is very hard to shift such mind frames...
What do you think?Peace Idriss.III,

Peace Ayman,
Khalifa removed the 2 verses as a result of the Hadiths. He merely used numerology to justify this preconception from Hadiths. Had the Hadiths mentioned different verses then he would have applied his numerology to these.
Is there any proof for this? OF COURSE NOT! Rashad Khalifa openly rejected the hadiyths, even writing a book on why everyone should reject them.
"Quran, Hadith, and Islam" (http//www.submission.org/qhi.html)
Also, he plainly stated in his research that he believed in the corruption (fabrication) of those verses, based on his mathematical calculations, BEFORE he realized the hadiyth concerning them. What you're stating is speculation, not fact.

Rashad Khalifa if he were a Messenger as he claimed he were, would not have needed to do research to prove anything.
As a Messenger, Allah would have told him what to say, what to do, and how and where.
Messengers are not Scholars, they do not conduct research, they are Leaders of men, by Action, Character, and Purpose...
It is only when they have finished their task, that they retire and can do what Allah pleases for them to do
(example Shuaib visited by Moses in Midian, or Joseph after his task of bringing his family was complete).
Now there is a big if about the possibility of a Messenger coming after Muhammad, I believe there will be one, but not everyone agrees...
but there is an ayah in the Quran that RK used that makes that clear I think..., but he used it for himself...
RK's interpretation of the Quran is one of the first that tried not to rely on Hadith, but in my view, ruling out all Hadith is a mistake...
of course the legal aspect of hadith leaves a lot to be desired, and only the Quran should be taken into account, as this is obvious if the Quran is read with an open heart...
There are some things we are missing that happened between Ali and the other Sahabas, and with the destruction of Baghdad by the Mongols, and the burning of all the Muslim literature of the time, that information might be completely lost, or maybe it isn't, maybe there are some people who bothered to write about the first civil war and what it was all about.
The answer to that will give us many clues about who really Muhammad was, where he came from, to whom was he preaching, who opposed him, and most importantly who helped him...
Another source of information that is neglected is the Ottoman Arabicised Script Literature (I wonder how many still bother to look into these), there might be some interesting writings that were neglected there that will shed some light on early Islamic history salvaged from Uammayads/Abassids dynasties. -

Contradiction is the outstanding features of LIARS .This is what RK did.
May I ask you what was his source of sequence /numbering of Quranic Chapters i.e Suras???

Messengers are not Scholars, they do not conduct research, they are Leaders of men, by Action, Character, and Purpose...This is totally false. There is no evidence that the messengers of God don't have to study and do research to reach certain conclusions. I think that everything happens in a certain order, and knowledge doesn't just pop into someone's head; they have to actually think and use reason, to analyze things for themselves. In fact, the Qur'aan instructs them, and everyone else, to study the world around them, so that they (and we) can find the truth of God's word... This is my viewpoint...

Was he the only person who wrote a Qur'aanic translation?! I sure don't see you criticizing Yusuf Ali, Pickthal, Shakir, Muhammad Ali, Hilali/Khan, Muhammad Asad, or any of the other many translator.Why are you focusing all your attention on Dr. Khalifa? This is called IDOLIZATION...
For the record, Rashad Khalifa numbered the chapters of the Qur'aan the same way they're numbered in the traditional Islaamic texts ("surah 1 al faatiha" to "surah 114 al naas"... What's your point?

... and you are perfectly entitled to your viewpoint
but as far as I know, those before Muhammad did not have access to the Quran, which was revealed to Muhammad and those after him...
so unless the Taurah or Injeel say so... and regardless, Allah will not allow Messengers to err while delivering a Message, which is not the case of someone who does research as by definition research uses trial and error...Peace Idriss,

Before I address your fallacy which I've highlighted I have to make it clear i'm not part of RK's group called submitters and neither do I agree with everything he states and neither do I judge him.
Now to your statement about translators not having intentions of fulfilling satanic agenda. How do you know this?? Intentions are only known by the person doing the act and The God.
Also your 2nd statement about RK contradicting himself which you say is a clear sign of being a liar. Again this comes down to intention because you could genuinely be ignorant whereas a liar knows with intent he/she is lying. It seems from your post you have alot of hatred for RK which you haven't justified with reason which I felt obliged to point out to you. I hope you take it on board constructively.

Maybe thats how you interpret his behaviour/literature which does not necessarily mean you are right in what you say unless you can bring a direct clear statement supporting your accusations. Actions are judged by intentions and hence its between him and The God on what he did in my opinion.
