    Salaam!

    Ma shaa Allah! you have got best of analytical abilities and nice way of presentation. May Allah bless.

    If your good self permits, I would like to point out some flaws in the the following

    This is the Book (the Quran)
    whereof there is no doubt
    a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun <- First condition, Qur'an is only for this people.
    (22)

    The arabic text of the above quoted verse is as under

    (i) It is known means 'That', but for the reasons known to you, you have understood the term as 'This'.
    (ii) Your good self has understood (lilmuttaqeena) as 'to those who are Al-Muttaqun', which seems to be erroneous.

    Kindly clarify.

    Salaam!!

        Salaam,

        If you could rely on Google Translation the Arabic Word has got the following meaning

        -adjective

        virgin, maiden, intact, maidenlike

        -noun

        first born

        -verb

        rise early, live from hand to mouth, get up.

        Salaam!

          You are right, thank you. It is just a translation and I guess the readers can check for themselves through the links I've given. I am more on delivering the message.

            Does it normal for an ancient Arabs to use that kind of name?

              Respected brother, you have taken the verse as a criterion to arrive at a conclusion but not taken the correct understanding. There is a lot of difference between this and that. That refers to what?

              Salaam!

                    Google translate use modern shape off Arabic while Quran use Classical Quraish dialect.

                    Lisan ul Arab and Lane Lexicon is the best source perhaps.

                      I know what are you referring to but as I said, I'm not dwelling in detail or even questioning the word "Book" or "Alif Lam Meem" and its relation to consciousness etc. It is just a simple message for simple understanding, for beginners - title - What is Islam?

                      Peace.

                        PREMISE 1

                        IF verse is entirely clear
                        THEN follow that verse
                        ELSE no one knows its interpretation (ignore the verse)

                        PREMISE 2

                        IF it is relating to obedience to Allah and and towards human unity
                        THEN it is Islam
                        ELSE it is not Islam
                        (or sign for troubles)

                        PREMISE 3

                        IF one i'qtiqad (creed) to obey all the "DO NOT" prohibitions in the Qur'an
                        THEN he is a Muslim
                        ELSE he is not a Muslim

                        PREMISE 4

                        IF one i'qtiqad (creed) to follow clear verses and obey all the "DO NOT" prohibitions in the Qur'an
                        THEN he will belong to the "companions of the right". (with or without faith)
                        ELSE he will belong to "companions of the left".

                        PREMISE 5

                        IF one is free from Shirk (1, 2, 3, and 4)
                        THEN he will fully benefit from the Qur'an.
                        ELSE he will not understand/ misunderstood the true message of the Qur'an.

                        SIXTH RULE
                        (Sixth Premise)

                        IF one grasp the true message of the Qur'an.
                        THEN he will find the straight path.
                        ELSE he will be deaf, dumb and blind and will never return.

                        • He will have "NO LIFE"
                          ie. he "cannot benefit" from his lifetime
                          and "cannot benefit" from his life after death
                          NO LIFE
                          but merely "passing his life"
                          like dreams or nightmares

                        Those are the ones
                        who have purchased error for guidance
                        so their transaction
                        has brought no profit
                        nor were they guided
                        Their example is that
                        of one who kindled a fire
                        but when it illuminated what was around him
                        Allah took away their light
                        and left them in darkness
                        they could not see
                        Deaf, dumb and blind
                        so they will not return
                        Or like a rainstorm from the sky
                        within which is darkness
                        thunder and lightning
                        They put their fingers
                        in their ears
                        against the thunderclaps
                        in dread of death
                        But Allah is encompassing of the disbelievers
                        The lightning almost snatches away their sight
                        Every time it lights
                        for them
                        they walk therein
                        but when darkness comes over them
                        they stand
                        And if Allah had willed
                        He could have taken away
                        their hearing and their sight
                        Indeed, Allah is over all things competent
                        O mankind
                        worship your Lord
                        who created you
                        and those before you
                        that you may become righteous
                        who made for you
                        the earth
                        a bed
                        and the sky a ceiling
                        and sent down from the sky
                        rain and brought forth thereby fruits
                        as provision for you
                        So do not attribute to Allah equals
                        while you know
                        (216-22)

                          Salaam,

                          Verse 21 i.e. 'Alif Lam Meem' (&#1751 is a mirror image of the Sanskrit word to be understood as 'The House'. The verse 22 starts with the word means 'that' referring to The House (i.e. Ka'aba) and the verse alongwith the verse No. 3 (23) may be understood as under

                          That is the Book no doubts therein, a gift for the immaculate persons who seek to accustom with the unknown and remain persistent with strict discipline and spends out of whatever bounties bestowed upon them.

                          Let me share with you something interesting about Ka'aba, kindly mull over -

                          The fourteen meter high pillar (Rukn-e-Yamani) in between the 35 rings of brass fixed on SHAAZARWAAN is seen here live which makes the combination Fourteen Thirty Five (1435). In addition, 10 more dots with one have been made visible upfront, if you strive. There is a lesson in it to imbibe; the symmetry reminds us the date which is called 10-01-1435. The date passed away three days before, giving an alarm bells ?life is no more?; if at all one can survive, the oxygen lies in the archive.

                          Stop! What do you say; be that as it may, life is eternal; look! I am still alive. 1435 is in any way significant; I don?t understand even a scant; I am not mesmerized, hardly inclined to thrive. I think you have got hypnotised with the number; pretending to be wise, tell me what else is left after 1435, if you can arrive.

                          Not to blame and not to frown; count it as 10 in a row up and down, what is left is left in the weight; some say it side by side eight; okay! You may call two and four with three and five.

                          I exhausted my mind but yet to bind what you made me to find, not easy to extract honey from beehive.

                          Ok! Cool your mind; take a rewind, one more show with a folding drive. Riddle is over wrap the band, one was doer seen by thousand; be a wise remain alive.

                          Have a look at the structure and the map

                            Peace all

                            And when We wish to destroy a town
                            We send Our commandment
                            to the people of it
                            who lead easy lives
                            but they transgress therein
                            thus the word proves true against it
                            so We destroy it
                            with utter destruction
                            (1475)

                            some interesting facts...

                            Muslim?= King of Solomon -> Jesus = 700 +- years??
                            (Solomon to Muhammad is estimated around 1700 years +/- ... according to them! eg. Which Jesus?)
                            Taghut = Jesus -> Muhammad = 700 +- years??
                            Muslim = Muhammad -> Abbasid/Bukhary = 700 +- years??<- Islam becomes corrupted, the Ummah is paralysed
                            Taghut = Abbasid/Bukhary -> Present = 700 +- years?? from Muslim, becoming Mushrikeen ... almost all. Europe?

                            = Present -> 700 + 700 +/- = 1400 +- years since Muhammad.

                            Muslim?= Present to future... maybe it is the beginning...
                            Logically, someone needs to fall for someone else to rise.. It is the Sunnatullah.
                            OR Maybe it is the time for the earth to develop,
                            and clean up the mess and corruptions. Disaster? Death?
                            Look around.. I think it's happening, everywhere..
                            economy, social, political, environments, dry season and earthquakes increasing in frequency.. etc...

                            Allah knows best... The Al Adl!!

                            Do you realize what happen in 2001?

                            http//astrocycle.net/Earthquake-chart.jpg

                            and the location? Thagut?

                            http//www.bgs.ac.uk/research/earthquakes/images/earthquakeActivity/world_seismic_stations.jpg

                            so We destroy it
                            with utter destruction
                            (1475)

                            Maybe it's time to stop calculating and focus on something else.... yes

                            There is no such things as "I want".

                              Allah is not our slave, we are .. and there is nothing in our ibada is for Allah, it is actually for ourselves, ie. solah, fasting, sadaqah, righteousness etc. It is the deen, our deen, not Allah, and for our benefits. Allah don't need our ibada etc.

                              Therefore, what is for Allah?

                              All that we do is for ourselves, and there is nothing for Allah.

                              Who is Lord?

                              Isn't He is the One who supposed to be our Lord?

                              This is the factor that determines the "attain that permanent state of spiritual peace", and it is in conflict with the Sunnatullah, ie. 1 & 1.

                                Below is the verse 33 of chapter 3 of Al-Quran

                                (Transliteration - Inna Allaha istafa adama wanoohan waala ibraheema waala AAimrana AAala alAAalameena)

                                Renowned scholar Mr. Farook Malik has understood the above verse as follows

                                ?Indeed Allah exalted Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran above all the worlds.?

                                http//www.islamawakened.com/quran/3/33/default.htm

                                The terms ? ?exalted? and ?above all the worlds? in the said verse led me to think over again and again. By the Grace of Allah, my efforts did not go in vain. I find a lot of say what poured down of my brain. If I say plain, the worlds refer to our bodily system; thanks to the elements that work in tandem. The four elements out of all actually sing the anthem. To end the mayhem, let me introduce with the exalted element; take a look what are below that I present

                                Hydrogen ? Adam
                                Nitrogen ? Noah
                                Carbon Family ? Aal-e-Ibrahim
                                Oxygen Family ? Aal-e-Imran

                                Our bodily machines require nutrients including vitamins to keep us safe and sound. Have a thought what they are made of and how they are bound? If permitted, I may share what I have found. Be careful, you may get astound

                                Four major nutrients are (i) Water (ii) Carbohydrate (iii) Fat and (iv) Protein. Apart from that we need ?Vitamin?. I hope you got a glimpse what I mean. Look at the structure, how it is seen

                                (i) Water consisting of Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) i.e. Adam and Aal-e-Imran.

                                (ii) Carbohydrate consisting of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O) i.e. Aal-e-Ibrahim, Adam and Aal-e-Imran.

                                (iii) Fats also consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O) i.e. Aal-e-Ibrahim, Adam and Aal-e-Imran.

                                (iv) Proteins consist of, Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O) i.e. Adam, Noah, Aal-e-Ibrahim, and Aal-e-Imran.

                                (v) Vitamins consist of a combination of elements from amongst Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O) i.e. Adam, Noah, Aal-e-Ibrahim, and Aal-e-Imran. Out of the total vitamins, Vitamin B and C are water soluble.

                                The impeccable principles that Almighty God suggested in His Book all through the ages was utterly misunderstood by the so called sages. They claimed to be the bearer of light, but actually taught us to fight. They never nurtured the soul but made us to resort to foul. They sought to drive the folk to be habitual without any sense; not to find the truth but stick to ritual and nonsense. Science has actually done the tricks, setting aside speculations broken the bricks. We need to understand the embedded pattern, for which we require the insight not a lantern. If we want not to let our efforts go down the drain, we will have to use the brain repeat use the brain.

                                Salaam!

                                  The external elements are for the external world, different parts, different languages. It might bring focus, excitement etc but will just keep us busy and reaching nowhere. In fact, farther away... just like the above picture and becoming spices pile up in warehouses. No real value or satisfaction. In actuality, we need real foods, lights.

                                      It's up to you.. these are only my views, and many have practiced it for thousand of years. Some call it lights, other call it an aura or else but never it produce or refer to the same since different belief and practices will produces different waves and lights.. many doors, different keys.

                                      light upon light

                                      Cannot pass through, too much weight and loads for the journey.... 100%+, not even 99.9%
