Differences in translation of verse 39:18

siki

wayfinder,

salam brother,

I worked on your assumption that "Quran is a common noun" and i find it to be wrong because "Alquranu" is a masculine proper noun. The ayah down below may further support my view on the subject,

7-204 When the Qur'an is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace that ye may receive Mercy or
And if the Quran is being read, then listen to it and pay attention, that you may receive mercy.

If we translate the word quran as reading, then this ayah is saying " when reading is being read " ? and in this particular case the reading ( "Al Quranau &quot is proper noun with absolutely no ambiguity.

So, Now i am very sure that Alquran is a proper noun, which can be identified as a reading which contains part of Alkitab and also AL qaul of creator, in Arabic language compiled in a certain sequence, sent down via the lips of prophet Mohammad.

I agree with you brother... Indeed 'The Quran' is a proper noun which refer to Al-Kitab. Same as all the other attributes like Az-Zekr. Even if we are translating them... 'The Reading' will still be a proper noun but conveying a clear message that it is something which should be read.

Thanks Brother, so, after this conclusion, let me re explain the problem with Mazhar's translation, so that you can re evaluate your stance.

Mazhar translates/refers/understands the arabic word ALQaul,"" as Grand Quran, and also the word Al haque as Grand Quran. I strongly objected to this translation/referral, due following reasons.

Al quran is a name given to a reading by God which contains his words in Arabic in a certain sequence sent through prophet Mohammad.
contains God's word and Al haque, True.
Does Only contain God's words and Al haque? In my opinion this is a false statement ,
and that is why I objected to his translation , because it makes a reader believe so.
I declared statement No 3. wrong because, "Allah's word existed before Quran was sent". "Allah's haq existed before quran was sent".

I have been insisting on him, that when God uses the word "Al quale" , or "Al haque", it is by design, and when he uses the "pronoun" it is again by design,

He can't translate "Al quale or Al haque" as "Grand Quran"

WayFinder

I agree with you as it comes to the literal translation... We should stick to the true meaning of each word and not substitute the translation. However, as a sidenote, we can indicate the x here is referring to y because of so and so... This will make sense... I do not think we should be separating kalaamullah/shifah/hikmah/alqawl/alhaq etc etc... Because all of them, in our quranic context are referring back to the revelation.

I get your point, but brother had his referral be like this,

scriptures or
Quran, Injeel, Taurat, etc,

It would have been OK, but if it makes a believer believe that , It means "Quran only" That is the problem , and a big one.

Our understanding of God's word is plagued with translator's personal"baggage" which misguides honest learners. We have to be very careful with GOd's words.

And who knows this better than Mazhar ? But when Mazhar himself commits the same error and somebody points it out, Mazhar, instead of contemplating turns to intimidation and ridicule using foul language/abuses and person's lack of knowledge regarding Arabic.

I keep trying to give explanaton from various angles to make one understand the point. Nowhere ever one will find that I was the first to use any offensive term. Once a moderator softly warned through PM, about this idiot or stupid word; and I told to go back to the thread and see what has been responded, and compare which of two is more serious. The point was well taken and was agreed.

The purpose is to share knowledge. It is stated that I do not put in parentheses anything except either it is written in Qur'aan at another placed or to indicate the connotations attached to Arabic word which cannot be indicated in word by word translation or with one single word.

You resorted to abusive language when i pointed out your intellectual dishonesty while debating a point. Taking advantage of my patience , you even repeated your abuses second time.

Good that the Mods were active and took notice of your abuses at their own, I never reported.

When you had no logical explanation to my objections , you got irritated and repeatedly abused me, leaving me no option but to highlight "your work" in the mirror of your own translations.

The point was well taken and was agreed.

Which point? point of the mods , or mine? ;D

No , I did not mean my objection to be understood the way you are understanding above,

When the wordings, or the context is clearly pointing towards certain meanings there is no harm in doing so. I understand, that you are not doing a literal translation, but locking a meaning when the Arabic or the author is not intending to do so, is a mistake, and a big one.

Was above reference quoted by you earlier , or not? you did not. Is alhaque quoted above, similar in context to your previously quoted example ? which is,

10-108 Say "O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who receive guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to their own loss and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs

You are proving apple , by giving me example of an orange, let me show you how,

In 47-02, Al Hague is referenced as sent down to Messenger which is by name being mentioned as Mohammad, clearly and unambiguously locking the meanings as ALquran.

Whereas in 10-118 it does not. And that is my objection, not for Alhaque in 47-2.

Mazhar salam Brother

Your insistence on a mistake by giving misleading examples is indeed alarming. You think you can wrap it up in fancy grammar, or sophisticated words and hence deceive readers to digest it innocently?

Flagrant use of such tactics by you, made me say in the past that " you are intellectually dishonest" .

And if you are not doing this by design, then chances are "you are intellectually bankrupt" and hence are incapable of comprehending these finer issues. And with this honesty or wisdom, you have taken upon yourself to translate God's words and/or to correct previous translators mistakes?
GOD help us please!

Dear Siki, I make another attempt from another angle and with different word, to bring home to you that how Qur'aan is referred without the use of word Qur'aan.

You, the Messenger pronounce, "Indeed the Statement of Established Fact/Grand Qur'aan has since come to you people from your Sustainer Lord.

Here is the subject/doer of the verb before it. Who has come to people? the Grand Qur'aan.

And it is the solitary source of guidance to success in hereafter

Therefore/in response whoever is guided then undoubtedly he guides/leads on the way only for his own self.

Raj, even for once, did not come and say anything on this thread. Now it makes further evident who the male and female are in the quote. It is Allah's verdict He will expose the Munifiqeen, both men and women. Allaho Akbar.

yes He will expose and He has exposed you to be unable to answer questions raised to you and verbally attack anyone who makes you, and everyone else, aware of your inability to answer them, in every thread. you carry on calling people names and quoting verses from Quran while being totally oblivious that they could very well be about you too, your arrogance blinds you completely to anything of the like of that or that you could be wrong on anything. I could quote a high number of verses which would apply to you and your manner, but I wont as they wont make a dent in your arrogance and maybe it's better you continue to live with it.

InshaAllah I will try hard not to reply to any more of your posts lest I become like you, and I will let others continue to deal with you until they eventually tire of banging thier heads against a wall of arrogant boastful pride you display. peace
