        Brother MMKhan, thank you for sharing your views.

        Just for discussion, in 22 we read 'thalika alkitabu. ...' Methinks 'this kitab' here refers to 'a-l-m', or 'a-l-m' (whatever it means or represents) is definitely a 'kitab'.

        Salaam brother Noh,

        You are welcome handshake

        Thalika means that and I also think that "a-l-m is that kitab".

        May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us to His only path pr
        mmKhan

          Dhalika , means both "this" and "that" refering to meanings of A L M, as, Man (Mankind) has suffered intensely. Dhalika, means, this suffering (for man/mankind), is due fleeing away from learned collection of principles.

          Salaam,

          How did you come to this conclusion brother hmm

          Salaam,

            salaam
            Now that is being lazy brother. If you just ignore the posts from members, and only follow from post 1 to post 15, you would see that it's all about alif laam miym and it is still not finished.

            Is it from this site
            http//www.thehiddenbook.net/Enter.html

            Yes this is his site, but its needs to be updated. Brother al-amiyr has spent all his time on this forum so his site has been neglected and his forum is not active yet, as we are too busy here.

              Tenth form of verb, is written as =

              So to called letters under discussion are written like this

              Now let us convert root into the 9th form of verb. It would become , the first two Hemzas/Alifs, due Idgham (rule of combining letters) rule could also be written as . Which is exactly the imlah (spellings) of script of Quran.

                Was this an answer to my question?

                If so, then I still can't see "Man (Mankind) has suffered intensely".

                  I think that you made a mistake with the numbering of the verb forms.

                  That is the 9th form if we count from the ground form fa-"a-la
                  The tenth form is istaf'ala
                  The 9th form would be if-"a-lla
                  I can see you know it. It might just be hasty slip like we all do. I have also drawn a diagram of this in The Qur'aan Cosmological Model. I post it here.

                    Root means "He (a man) was in pain or suffered"

                    http//www.studyquran.org/LaneLexicon/Volume1/00000119.pdf

                    Waazan/9th form of verb adds meanings of intensity to the root. To confirm this please see William wright Vol 1 page 43 (5.

                    Please use formula of the language to derive the real meanings "Root + Waazan" = Meanings of word.

                    "Man (Mankind) has suffered intensely".

                            Salaam,

                            Sorry, I confirm only with The Quran as reference. As far as I know William wright or LaneLexicon is not the author of the Quran and I can also not find a verse which states that we have to look into LaneLexicon/William wright to confirm the meanings of the words of The Quran.

                            I realy don't understand your method, you take whole words split them in parts add some extra letters and make new meanings. If Allah wanted to split them in parts like you do then that is very easy for Him.
                            As an example I can give you the word ALLAH. I know from your other post that you splitted this word like this
                            allathi
                            La
                            illah .
                            If Allah wanted to split it like you do then there would be not a single time ALLAH but everywhere those 3 words, just like in
                            5922

                            Besides this why don't you go further and also split into parts, you are flexibel with this stuff, I am sure you can do the same trick also for and after you splitted this into something new then you can split the new words again in parts and make new ones etc etc etc.

                                yes. I'm very curious. I have already received a variety of opinions from different members of this site, but for me is not completely satisfactory. So i wait for your explanation. Thanks and Peace

                                  Salaam brother,

                                  RED Do you mean the arabic text of The Book is also a translation? If so, then please give a verse for this understanding to support your claim.

                                  BLUE nope I only now how to read a little bit.

                                  GREEN Thank you for your offer, inshaAllah I will accept it and inshaAllah I will learn from you, but on condition that you support every claim of yours with ONLY examples from The Quran.

                                  First I want to learn why you splitted the word ALLAH in those 3 part.
                                  5922 clearly disapproves for me your understanding as they are used in the same sentence.
                                  We can create a seperate topic for this as this is way off-topic.

                                  Salaam,

                                    Salaam brother,
                                    First I want to learn why you splitted the word ALLAH in those 3 part.
                                    5922 clearly disapproves for me your understanding as they are used in the same sentence.

                                      By the way, the write up/break down of so to called word/noun, Allah, has been on this forum and several others for over 2 years. I hate to use word challenge, but it is like a linguistic challenge from Quran and its language. There has been no objection to it except for one that is already addressed in this link; citing its use, both in language and current translation of Quran, as well, from books of the language with due references.

                                      Regards

                                        i read the article but i have a question. the article states

                                        Let us turn to Qur'an itself for evidence. In Arabic script as well in the Qur'an, where a preposition ?Lee? is added in to a word containing a definite article ?Al? . Alif is dropped and so Lam of the definite article ?Al? joins with ?Lam? of preposition. Let us illustrate this point with some word examples from Qur'an itself.

                                        1. 21 Alif of ?Al? gone, lam is present and preposition ?Lee? added.

                                        2. 47 and 432, is the word same concept.

                                        but lil- muttaqin ( li+al+ muttaqin) and lil-rigal (li+al+rigal) is not the same as al mutaqin and al rigal. the second (al rigal) yes, is lam schamseia it becomes arrigal- for the idhram. but the word in the Quran is not ALILRIGAL is lil rigal (li+al+ rigal= lialrigal what is impossible to pronouncing so lilrigal 'for' the men as in 2.1 'for' the muttagin

                                        i don't know what has this to do with Al + ilah= Allah? alilah? here we have AL ILAHA not LILAHA confused

                                        so please you can explain??
                                        thank you and Salam

                                          These two examples are given to high light the point, as well to differentiate the difference between two kinds of "Al" used in Quranic text. In both as well . The particle "Al" is different than used in word . In former two words, it is "Al" for making these words Marafa i.e, to make Nakra/common noun as definite/Marafa noun.

                                          When the preposition "lee" is prefixed to words which are made definite due prefixing of particle "Al"; according to rule of the language "Alif/Hemza" of definite particle "Al" is dropped, whereas, "lam" is retained in the script. However, we find this not to be the case for word in the Quranic script. Therefore, "Al" in case of word Allah can not be the definite particle "Al"; as it completely disappears in the Quranic text, when particle "lee" is prefixed to it. This proves the point that it is a different particle not governed by rules of definite particle "Al"

                                          Which leads to conclusion that other word similar to definite article "Al" is a contraction of . Since this contraction is different from the definite article "Al". Hence, rule governing definite particle "Al" of only dropping the "alif/Hemza" shall not apply. Therefore, whole of this contraction of word is dropped when preposition "lee" is added to "Allah" and it is written as , instead of two "Lams" at the beginning. Which should have been the case had this first "Al" would have been a definite particle "Al".
