75:18/19
-
Verb Imperfect; second person; masculine; Mood Jussive.
The basic perception infolded in the Root is of transferring a thing from one place to another place, and it involves movement. When you read a written text/a book with your tongue you transfer the written matter from paper etc to your memory, where it gets recorded though different from that as it appears or looks on the paper.

Salaam,
Translation is totally wrong! There is no "O Muhammed", "The Angels", "Your heart", "Your mind". Where did you get all this? The translation is simple as follows
7516
7517
7518
75197516 Do not move your tongue with it to make haste.
7517 It is for Us to gather and relate it.
7518 So when We relate it, you shall follow its revelation.
7519 Then it is for Us to explain it.May Allah guide us all towards the truth pr

I always use Progressive Muslim's translation with necessary changes.

Mohammed M. KhanWhat is so special in PM's translation? Has it shown any "progress" over what the lot of others have done?
He seems to have translated the prepositional phrase by referring back to earlier injunction on the subject.

First of all you take out hatred from your heart about others, cause you are not going to answer for any one except for yourself. Look for yourself where your KNOWLEDGE and HATRED leading you. Is it towards Allah? Or...
It is very common that everyone make mistakes. Same as you do, don't you? Look below from the same page that the link in your post takes you.
And you pray, "My Sustainer Lord! You improve me in the faculty of gaining and retrieving knowledge"
20120
he said to him, "O Adam! May I lead you to the tree of eternity and of a kingdom that never falls/decays?"
20125
He said, "My Sustainer Lord! Why have you gathered me blind while indeed I had vision".
20135
You, the Messenger pronounce, "Each one is waiting, therefore, you people wait whereby you people will soon know who are the companions of the straightly even path and who is guided.
Once "Pray" and "Say" and "Pronounce" for the same word. This is because Allah said

Strange logic and inference!!
Sonnie quoted more than two dozens translations including that of PM. And you commented straight discarding all others
I always use Progressive Muslim's translation with necessary changes.
And when I ask you to clarify as to what is so special therein and what "progress" have they made over others, you take it as hatred in the heart about others.
And then you consider this a mistake;
And you, the Messenger need not hasten reading the Qur'aan earlier than that the oral/verbal communication of it may be concluded upon you.
And you pray, "My Sustainer Lord! You improve me in the faculty of gaining and retrieving knowledge"Qul is a verb, imperative, second person, masculine, singular, with implied pronoun "Anta". And the act of verb is to make a statement, oral utterence. And the oral utterence which is being told to him is about a request to be made to Allah. So in keeping with what is being uttered, the appropriate word in English for the act of verb seems "pray".
And when one is asked to utter a statement of the nature of a news, the best word, in my opinion is "pronounce"-formally declare something.

This was not the logic brother, but it was a suggestion. I did not mean to hurt you, if you felt so, please accept my apologize.

When Allah used the word "Qul" it simply means "Say", IF Allah wanted to say "Pray", He would have surely used some appropriate word instead of Qul.
There is an important and specific reason for each and every word used in AlQuraan / AlKitaab. So, we don't need to correct Allah. And it is always better for US to translate it as said by Allah instead of adding our understanding to it.

When what is going to be uttered is an imperative verb there the word "say" denotes a command. And we do not command Allah but we pray to Allah.

Mohammed M. KhanEven in English no one writes like this, red above. Say is outside the quote.
is an imperative/command verb- , second person, masculine, singular, and the Subject of verb is Allah who is being requeted to do that act.
When the subject of such command Verb is Allah-the Exalted this verb is referred as and since Allah is first commanding to do this act, Qul denoted "You pray"
