Is Prophet Muhammad?s duty to deliver Quran only?: No

[Mazhar]

Quote
In which order do you read the Quran? Just jumping from one verse to another of different Surahs, or do you read it in some order?
Raaajah

I rarely read the Quran in a specific order.. Most of the time, when I want to read, I will just open the Book and read where it leads me.. No matter where I read.. it does not change the message... Moreover, most of the time, I am studying the book which is different from general reading.. therefore, I am jumping from verse to verse.. without sticking to a particular surah so that I can gather all the verses which address a particular topic.

Grand Qur'aan must be read/recited in the order it has been sequenced and compiled by Allah through His Messenger for the posterity. Only by that sequence one will get the explanation of each and every word and statement and ultimately the wisdom. And this is how the knowledge is acquired from any book. For any word and concept, compile all statements in the sequence they are mentioned in Qur'aan, and one will comrehensively understand that word and concept.

[guest]

No one has said anywhere that there is no wisdom outside the book!

Peace Ayisha,

Do you then accept that Scripture and wisdom are separate things, when Allah says ?scripture and wisdom?? This is such a simple, clear, unambiguous sentence but unfortunately many do not get it.

The ones claiming this are the ones ignoring the verses that say the book is full of wisdom and that Allah has explained it.

This understanding contradicts the verse that says Allah is the teacher of the Quran

Yes it takes wisdom to understand it as it should be, but Allah grants that wisdom to whom He pleases and YES the messangers all were granted wisdom, no one has said otherwise.

I agree.

Once one has the wisdom to understand the verses, does it change the verses in any way? Would an explanation of someone else be any better than the explanation of Allah? Of course not!

No, the verse does not change! Only your understanding of the verse changes i.e. you have correct understanding of the verse. There is no better, only correct or incorrect. Beware of the compromiser!

[guest]

No way... I am talking about guidance... wisdom is something else.

Peace WayFinder,

Once you are guided you are good. Everything else is secondary!

One needs wisdom (must be acquired) to be guided. Think about it. You are not speaking coherently.

[Raaajah]

Allah says He is the one explaining it and collecting it and compiling it and you say "Allah did not came to earth to collect and compile it" so how was the message itself revealed Raj? through email perhaps? a few phone calls? How did this message GET here in the first place if Allah had nothing to do with it at all according to your ramblings? You think He sent a message then left it to be sorted by humans when He clearly says IN that message that it is up to HIM to explain it and compile it?

Message was revealed via a Messenger (and his name happened to be "Jabraeel&quot to Muhammad Peace is upon him, if some one does not know this basic, she can only be Ayisha.

The circumstances were specific to the time of these people... it is not needed anymore here.. for example, when the people embarassed the prophet by seeking vain talk with him each time they came to visit him... A verse was revealed to this effect...

How do you know? which Ayat tells you that this is for particular time, and other one is for future. i don't want to be harsh but you are just talking non sense. How do you know that the Ayat I am talking about was for that time only?

Way Finder

This is your assumption.. I did not tell ANYTHING regarding the position of this verse as well as its revelation... this is beyond my knowledge..

Now you are cheating as well, you said if an ayat was revealed at # 2500, it was placed at the place as it had to be because Allah finalized the order, and Surah 75 is almost in middle of the present order, which was the order of Allah, according to you.
You said this

A verse being revealed the 2500th position does not mean it will be written in the 2500th position... It might be written at the 15th position for example... this is how the arrangement was being carried out gradually as well.

the verses were revealed according to their own circumstances and needs of the audience... but as soon as it was revealed, the messenger also ordered where to write the verse in the list of already revealed verses. A verse being revealed the 2500th position does not mean it will be written in the 2500th position... It might be written at the 15th position for example..

Way Finder

Anyways, just an advice... if the attitude continues... I would not bother answering you anymore..

and from me it is over now, until you don't explain the above.

It is Messengers. What take you so long to acknowledge, it was in one of my earlier post.

Peace,

Way Finder
How do you know? which Ayat tells you that this is for particular time, and other one is for future. i don't want to be harsh but you are just talking non sense.

Maybe you are hard of the ear but I will try again... Do we have a list of events which 'caused' the revelation of a particular verse?? The answer is NO. Therefore, it is not necessary for you to know the circumstances. Moreover, if you have a list of ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES of revelation... Show it to us. Then we will take you seriously.

How do you know that the Ayat I am talking about was for that time only?

We know because we cannot apply them anymore.. For example there is a verse which forbid you to marry the prophet wife.. Or yet another verse to give a donation when you visit the prophet etc etc... All these cannot be done anymore. If you disagree, then share your thought.

Way Finder
Now you are cheating as well, you said if an ayat was revealed at # 2500, it was placed at the place as it had to be because Allah finalized the order, and Surah 75 is almost in middle of the present order, which was the order of Allah, according to you.

It is ok to accuse me when I am guilty.. but I would not like to be wrongly accused... Now let me clarify how it all started.

No... The quran was revealed in stages... according to the needs of the current audience of that time... However, as soon as the verse was revealed, its placement in the Book was revealed at the same time... That means, when the 2500th verse was revealed, its placement somewhere in some surah is also revealed with it.. for example the 2500th verse could find its proper place in the first 20 verses of the Book. It is always Allah who did the compilation and arrangement each time he revealed a verse.

Verse 7516-19

7516 Do not move your tongue with it to make haste.
7517 It is for Us to COMPILE/COLLECT (jam3ahu) it and relate it.
7518 So when We relate it, you shall follow its revelation.
7519 Then it is for Us to clarify it.

Regarding verses of Surah 75

7516 Do not move your tongue with it to make haste.
7517 It is for Us to COMPILE/COLLECT (jam3ahu) it and relate it.
7518 So when We relate it, you shall follow its revelation.
7519 Then it is for Us to clarify it.

According to your understanding these verses were not the last verses of Quran neither were they the earliest, if it is telling Messenger to hold his tongue as you are presuming then it makes no SENSE at all. (Wayfinder where do you get the RED idea? You fabricated it?)

This is your assumption.. I did not tell ANYTHING regarding the position of this verse as well as its revelation... this is beyond my knowledge.. as I told you... I have no idea which came first or which came last... Allah knows best... If He has not included the chronological index in the quran... then there is a DIVINE reason for this.

Now you are cheating as well, you said if an ayat was revealed at # 2500, it was placed at the place as it had to be because Allah finalized the order, and Surah 75 is almost in middle of the present order, which was the order of Allah, according to you.

Now just see how your understanding is deficient... Nowhere I have said anything about the placement of the verses of Surah 75 or the 2500th... Just scroll us and see the RED highlight... Don't you understand what an EXAMPLE is now? It was never a fact.. I just took a number at random to explain the revelation process... But however, I think you are way too smart to be able to grasp such a simple example and you took it as a FACT. This is what we call foolishness... Next time, take full time to read at least 10 times before posting anything.

You said this
Way Finder
and from me it is over now, until you don't explain the above.

I would not matter much with you either.. Dont get me wrong... Because your most recent post addressed to me is just another 'pick and choose' from you.. You do not address those which throw you on the wall.. You pretend not to see them... It would be futile to waste time argumentating with an opponent who is showing such clear dishonesty and prejudice.

Then why have YOU got references to other verses all over the place to MISLead a reader all over Quran for the LINKS to the verses you are 'translating? And why did YOU translate Sahibukum as Guiding Lord because somewhere else it said Muhammed was to guide?

[WayFinder]

Peace WayFinder,

Peace

In case you are right... Then I would say that this wisdom cannot be transmitted from one person to another... And again... I always attach hikmah to its root meaning as well as other related words such as hukm(law),haakim(judge) etc which has to do with legislation... Therefore, Hikmah, if taken from your perspective could mean 'sound judgement' and this as I think it is, cannot be transmitted... But can be bestowed only from God.

Allah grants wisdom to who He wills, so wisdom is all over the place and we can learn it but He also says the BOOK IS FULL OF IT and that all messengers had it, do you accept that the book is full of Wisdom?

how? I agree He is the teacher of Quran, I agree he is the one that explains it in detail, I am not the one disagreeing with any of the verses.

so WHERE is the explanation of the verses to give us a CORRECT understanding?

This is what Raj cannot answer, can you?

[Ayisha]

Message was revealed via a Messenger (and his name happened to be "Jabraeel&quot to Muhammad Peace is upon him,
yes I know that Raj. the messge was revealed through 2 messengers, Gabrielle and Muhammed.

and if one cannot answer a simple question repeated countless times and cannot see his idiotic rantings, that one can only be raj

It is Message.

The Message was revealed to Muhammad by Allah Via Jabraeel. If you know this fact then what are you asking here

Allah says He is the one explaining it and collecting it and compiling it and you say "Allah did not came to earth to collect and compile it" so how was the message itself revealed Raj? through email perhaps? a few phone calls?

Not you Raj, of course not you, I was mistakenly thinking I was talkting to someone with half a brain, sorry

Simple steps

Allah sent the message
through Gabrielle
through Muhammed
to us

Allah put in His message WISDOM
Allah gave Muhammed WISDOM
Allah gave ALL prophets and messengers WISDOM
Allah gives people WISDOM
Allah says HE expains IT
Allah says He collects IT
Allah says IT if full of WISDOM
Allah says IT is COMPLETE
Allah says IT is FULLY DETAILED
and
Allah says its all there for those who THINK

and YOU tell me "Allah did not came to earth to collect and compile it"

who are you trying to fool?

Allah managed to get the message TO us so Allah is fully able to do as HE SAID and collect and compile it, or don't you think so?

It is always Allah who did the compilation and arrangement each time he revealed a verse.

I will make it simple for you and me

1. The Quran was revealed in stages
   Agreed
2. The verses were revealed according to needs of current audience of that time.
   No, not at all times.
3. At the time of revelation of the verse its placement in the Book was revealed.
   The Book took many many years to complete, therefore since it was not completed, there were questions regarding the verses and the Messenger of Allah who was provided the Wisdom from Allah explained those verses to audience.
   For example the name "Rehman" was not familiar to Arabs, Messenger of Allah explained to them who is Ar-Rehman.

From your above statement
Surah 75 is in exact place where it has to be, 74 Surah's before it and 39 after it, according to Allah,
Now Allah tells Muhammad peace is upon him half the way that he should not explain any thing and Allah will do that on his own.

Now if you agree that there was a mechanism for that, then you obviously believe that It was Wisdom provided to the Messengers as mentioned in various posts of mine, through which they explained the Ayats of Allah to the audience.

Way Finder

Therefore, it is not necessary for you to know the circumstances.

This is very poor reasoning.
If some one tells you "Ayisha had a black eye" what will you understand from this if you will not know the circumstances. And we are talking about a Book that is to change our lives.

Therefore I mentioned a verse to you at random from Quran, which you have conveniently ignored for repeated of times, to tell me what is the purpose of the Ayat without knowing its circumstances.

You like Ayisha think that some of the Quran is of no use today and was for the past,
so why not remove those verses, they are of no use now.

I pick and chose from your posts because we don't want to go in circles, right? it is not thing of a kind that you put me to wall or whatever.
In fact You keep on denying simple fact that Allah gives Wisdom to his Messengers and people he chooses.

Yu/tee alhikmata man yashao waman yu/ta alhikmata faqad ootiya khayran katheeran wama yaththakkaru illa oloo al-albabi

He bestows wisdom upon whomever He chooses, and whoever attains wisdom, has attained a great bounty. Only those who possess intelligence will take heed.

There is no Al-Kitab here.

Praise be to Allah the Lord of Abraham, Ram, Musa, Issa, Muhammad, mine and Yours.

Einstein presented the "special theory of relativity"

Einstein was bestowed with wisdom from Allah. Allah did not came to earth and sat with Einstein and taught him.
He bestowed him with wisdom according to following Ayat

2169
Yu/tee alhikmata man yashao waman yu/ta alhikmata faqad ootiya khayran katheeran wama yaththakkaru illa oloo al-albabi

I being a non native English speaker can commit mistakes, but if a non native speakers points out spelling and other mistakes of a native speaker, It is shame for her specially when he or she tries to degrade others, not on the basis of arguments but English elektro.
