New Groundbreaking Arabic Book: Peacemaking from the Quran
-
Given the optimal times of the learning connection at the start and end of day, washing is what one normally and naturally does when he wakes up and starts his day and when he returns home at the end of the day after work.
Peace,
Ayman
Thank you @ayman for the answer, but I do not agree, I do not think that God would mention in a Sublime Scripture such an obvious and hygienic habit everybody learns as children to wash your hands
Anyway...
Peace

One question In the new chapter of your book you translate sujud as prostration. Have you changed your mind? Or is this simply because you are going to explain the meaning of sujud in the fourth chapter in detail?
Peace.
Ditto with Timur. I had regarded your understanding of sujud as not necessarily physical. This is also my view.
peace + nice to see brother ayman on here again )

Peace brother Timur,
One question In the new chapter of your book you translate sujud as prostration. Have you changed your mind? Or is this simply because you are going to explain the meaning of sujud in the fourth chapter in detail?
I was going to explain the meaning in chapter 4. However, you are right that it may be better to specify the meaning as "obedience" right away and then explain in chapter 4. I have changed this based on your comment and uploaded a new version.
Peace,
Ayman

When put in the context of doing the learning connection with a clear mind then it does make sense. Personally, I think better after washing .
Peace,

Peace brother Ayman.

Yes, I think this is better. Thank you However, now a new problem occurs You refer to obedience, but in the traditional translations you provide no obedience is mentioned. I think this may lead to confusions. Maybe it would be better to point out briefly that sujud is traditionally translated as prostration and that you are goind to explain your translation in the next chapter? What do you think?
Peace.

I provide a short explanation of why "sujud" means obedience as you suggested. I just uploaded the new version.
Thanks for the great input and support.

Sajdah - in Arabic means to prostrate and not "obedience".

http//www.quran4peace.org/documents/Quran4peace-English-part3.pdf
This document is someone's made up and baseless views with many errors.
As we saw in the previous chapter, the common noun ?islam? is not the meaningless proper name of a religion.
Incorrect - virtually every scholar of Islam would term Islam as a Proper Noun.
For example, while ?islam? means peacemaking
By whose reckoning?
The word Islam means "To submit". Well documented . . . unless one invents completely new meanings.
As we can see, the word ?taslim? in 3356 is translated as salutation. However, by doing a simple search in the Quran, everyone can easily find the same exact word used in 465 to clearly mean ?submission? not ?salutation?.
Words have different meanings in different contexts . . .
Sallama does have the meaning of to send peace/greetings/salutation.
It is obvious that the word ?taslim? in the Quran is used to mean ?submission? and not ?salutation?.
Actually it is far from obvious. By finding different usage that alone is not sufficient reason to go and change the meaning of another word.
So, according to 3356, when people say ?sala allah alayh wa salam? they are ignorantly saying that the god submits (the god be most exalted). So billions of people, including so-called scholars, have been mindlessly uttering what is essentially a gross blasphemyagainst the god!
Shock, Horror! Or what the case likely to be is . . . that YOU are wrong. Think about it . . . Arabs whose language it is . . . have produced outstanding scholars of Arabic and what not . . . and others that are not Arab . . .
They all missed it . . . and yet . . . . you have spotted this mistake?
Unlikely.
People are not saying God submits at all . . .
Read
"Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels . O you who have believed, ask blessing upon him and ask peace."
The above is one bit . . . rest of document is filled with unqualified amateurish nonsense.

How do you translate 258, 4154 or 7161?
Please have a look here http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/meaning-of-SuJuD-from-Quran.html
Summary of issues http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9601641.msg328785#msg328785Here you can read an older article by brother Ayman containing information about the meaning of sujud. At that time he rendered it as "hearing and obeying", which is in the essence no difference to "obedience" http//www.free-minds.org/Old/articles/gods_system/name.htm
Here you contradict yourself concerning the meaning of islam

So what shall it be? A proper noun or a common noun meaning "submission"?

Peace,
Disregard them; they only follow their leaders blindly.
6116 And if you obey most of those on the earth they will lead you away from the path of God; that is because they follow conjecture, and that is because they only guess.
3367 And they will say ?Our Lord, we have obeyed our leaders and our learned ones, but they misled us from the path.?Peace

Quran 258
"And when We said, "Enter this city and eat from it wherever you will in abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens.' We will forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good .""
And We raised over them the mount for their covenant; and We said to them, "Enter the gate bowing humbly", and We said to them, "Do not transgress on the sabbath", and We took from them a solemn covenant.
And , when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens,' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good ."
In all the meaning is right . . . inventing new meanings is OBVIOUSLY 100% wrong.
= = =
I do not contradict my self over the word Islam.
Islam - the word means "Submission". And it is also a nomenclature - when referring to the Muslim religion it is a Proper Noun.
Proper Nouns to have meanings! For example my name "Amin" is proper name and has a meaning!
Once again . . you simply cannot "invent" new meanings. It is 100% wrong.
