      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!

        Kindly clarify.

        Salam

        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.

        Peace

          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!

              I do not qualify to doubt the acumen of ancient Arabs.

                  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.

                            Free ourselves from Shirk

                            Therefore

                              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.

                                  You know limited is what? It is (i) Concrete Knowledge (ii) Conceptual Understanding (iii) Reach
                                  What is unlimited is ? (i) Wish & Speculation (ii) Guess & Conjecture (iii) Argument & Ego (iv) Pretension & Supremacy (v) Lie & Rejection.

                                    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%

                                          Iblees
                                          He refused <- Main Premise Disobedience
                                          and was arrogant <- Secondary Premise The God inside ourselves (2543) (4523) (334)
                                          and became of the disbelievers <- Conclusion The main reason why Allah destined certain people to become the disbelievers
                                          (234) Yes, "destined".. because Allah Knower of all things, and no one can fool Allah

                                          And you cannot guide the blind away from their error
                                          You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses
                                          so they are Muslims <- Reason for receiving guidance from Allah, ie. always ready to obey Allah
                                          (3053) Otherwise, no use for Allah to guide them.. waste of time

                                          Now, as a matter of philosophical statement...

                                          This is the self

                                          the number one enemy that's been living in our bodies

                                          our ego or arrogance

                                          (final stage or battle)

                                          http//www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/jtwpd.png

                                          We will understand reality once we are able to kill the above monster...

                                          but how can we kill if we can't even realize that he is existed in ourselves?

                                          The invisible enemy.... tempt

                                          http//s12.postimg.org/kyqnw00yh/glass.png

                                          and it is surely against positivism, nope.. totally not that one.. nope

                                          Surely this is indeed what is the evident trial
                                          (<a href="http//quran.com/37/106">37106</a&gt

                                          Do the people think
                                          that they will be left to say,
                                          "We believe"
                                          and they will not be tried?

                                          But We have certainly tried those before them
                                          and Allah will surely make evident
                                          those who are truthful
                                          and He will surely make evident
                                          the liars

                                          Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us?
                                          Evil is what they judge
                                          (<a href="http//quran.com/29/2-4">292-4</a&gt

                                          Or do you think that you will enter Paradise
                                          while such has not yet come to you
                                          as came to those who passed on before you?

                                          They were touched by poverty
                                          and hardship
                                          and were shaken
                                          until messenger
                                          and those who believed with him said
                                          "When is the help of Allah ?"
                                          Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near
                                          (<a href="http//quran.com/2/214">2214</a&gt
