Until now I agree if Kitab in QUran can be mean Book or letter/chapter.
Quran's language pattern indeed is a special, even for Arab themself.A word hasmany multiple meaning depend on it's context.One of the example is the word "Rabb" in Chapter Yusuf.The word "Rabb mostly directed to the One Supreme Being, but in that chapter also directed to Jusuf's FIr'aun

Peace Earthdom,
I have put much of my brain processing power on ketaab, but its root word seems to incline towards to compose something such as a composition, but in my own philosophies it does not have to mean a concrete object in its noun form ketaab. Ketaab as letter could be it, but I find the word still connotes to kind of a prescription, much like the doctors give to their patients and that put me to the decision of using the word Message for the context of The Book. The problem we face with ketaab is that we humans have a tendency to always have to relate to things physically and that has caused ketaab to become a thing. But as a physical item 'ketaab' does not fit all the context and some of the verses look pathetic if you ask me, but if you give a slightly more abstract meaning such as message which a book could possibly be although it means more abstractly. A message is usually abstract in meaning and in The Book ketaab as concrete item does not suit the context.
Ketaab as letter is better than book, but I still am not satisfied with that as it does still not give enough. Ketaab in The Book is many times evidently not a physical item because it does not fit the context and it makes it faulty. For example; Abraham could not have known about physical books unless he knew the future as in the verse I was talking about in previous posts where Abraham together with his son prayed
2129 ?Our Lord, and send among them a messenger from among themselves, that he may recite to them Your revelations and teach them the Book and the wisdom, and purify them. You are the Noble, the Wise.?
Red What book did he refer to? Could the man read the future or does ketaab really mean a physical book? If you replace book and insert Message then the sentence takes its true form according to me.
And its meaning is not adaptable to just this context, but that is true for the word ketaab wherever you encounter it in The Book.
It does not exclude that the word does mean to compose something, but it does not have the absolute meaning that the result product has to be a physical item. In the case of The Book in relates to the contents of it as the Message.
Based on this I know that the Torah and Gospel are also part of the Message and not necessarily physical books. I personally believe that Moses only received guidelines on two stone tablets which he and his people were told to follow and which also Jesus were taught to follow although he came with news which the Message Gospel means and you know yourself what Jesus spoke about if you read one of the Gospel testimonies. What they taught are part of the grand Message, but Torah and Gospel themselves are the abstract teachings of respective era. The Messengers before Gospel taught strictly what was of the Torah while Jesus elaborated and showed that you could regard the list of commandments as the minimum requirement. What the Jews know of the original prohibitions they had that is the Torah, but lots of what they do is inventions much like we know happens to Muslims today. Jews have a relatively small list of things to do; the ten commandments and some community-specific commands. The list of the ten commandments (I think is al-furqan) is still valid for every Believer in the system of God and His Covenant.
Once again I am bold as to claim Torah and Gospel are not to be regarded concretely but abstractly although you follow Torah if you follow the (original) teachings of Moses althogh the Message is renewed with news that newer generations do not to be punished for their (the Jews from the Exodus and following generations) sins not to eat from the good which God forbade because the Jews had sinned. Possibly it is this that is the Gospel, i.e. that certain prohibitions were lifted and Jesus were a Light that showed that one could apply the heart in the interpretation of the Message and that the Torah is just the minimum requirement expected from a Believer.
So the Bible carries some Truth, but much of the Old Testament is not to be considered The Criterion and the Torah of Moses. In fact very little of it and you can apply logic that it has to be contained in text on two ancient stone tablets. And obviously the Gospels you find in the New Testament were not written by Jesus and nothing exists which were written by Jesus. There is probably nothing that Jesus wrote and the Gospels reveal most of what Jesus did quite well despite distortion, so there was really no need for him to write down anything. If you tinker on the Gospels next time you read them you find that the Message is not to do only minimally what is required of a Believer but do more and Jesus gave the optimum state of a Believer to completely reject the wealth of this world and only do things to help others.
God bless you

I also believe in so.Actually all the phrophets never wrote anykinds of Scripture, they received revelations via oral transmission.
It's third parties who wrote Scriptures in text, they can be companios, apostles, clerics etc.
This supported by verses both in Tanakh til the Quran.I see the ten commandment itself is the result of religious councils, I never found this formula in Tanakh.
God bless you.

Chapter 17 Message check
172 And We gave Moses the Message and We made it a guidance for the Children of Israel ?Do not believe in any besides Me.?
173 The progeny of those whom We carried with Noah, he was a thankful servant.
174 And We decreed in the Message to the Children of Israel, that you will make corruption twice on the earth, and that you will become very high and mighty.
175 So, when the promise of the first one comes to pass, We would send against you servants of Ours who are very powerful, thus they managed to breach your very homes, and this was a promise which has come to pass.
176 Then We gave back to you your independence from them, and We supplied you with wealth and sons, and We made you more influential.
177 If you (2) do good, then it will be good for you, and if you (-2) do bad, then so be it. But when the promise of the second time comes, they will make your faces filled with sorrow and they will enter the Temple as they did the first time, and they will strike down all that was raised up.Red Phrase reinforcing the linguistic need for ketaab to be Message rather than Book.
179 This Book guides to that which is more upright, and it gives glad tidings to the (1) believers who (2) do good works that they will have a bountiful reward.
1710 And for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have prepared for them a painful retribution.
1711 And man calls to evil as much as he calls to good, and man was always hasty.Blue The common man in a nutshell in my humble opinion.
1719 And whoever seeks the Hereafter and (2) strives for it as it deserves, and is a (1) believing person, then to those what they have sought is given in thanks.
1723 And your Lord decreed that you shall (1) not serve except He, and (2) do good to your parents. When one of them or both of them reach old age, do not say to them a word of disrespect nor shout at them, but say to them a kind saying.
1725 Your Lord is fully aware of what is in your souls. If you are (2) good, then He is to the obedient a Forgiver.
1726 And give the (2) relative his due, and the poor, and the wayfarer; and do not waste excessively.
1727 Those who (-2) waste excessively are brothers to the devils, and the devil was to his Lord a rejecter.Green Consume in moderation.
1728 And if you turn away from them to seek a mercy from your Lord which you desire, then say to them a gentle saying.
1729 And do not make your hand stingy by holding it to your neck, nor shall you lay it fully open so you become in despair and regret.
1730 Your Lord lays out openly the provision for whom He wishes, and He is able to do so. He is Expert and Seer over His servants.Green I interpret these verses as in spoiling yourself in some provisions from God and it ought to be done modestly and without making a big display of it. But the verse tells that it can be done righteously as long as you show appreciation. This set of verses show part of my chain of Faith called 'Peace and Prosperity' when God has begun to bless the Believer with provisions.
1731 And do not (-2) kill your children out of concern of poverty; We shall provide for you and them. The killing of them was a big mistake.
1732 And do not come near (-2) adultery, for it is immoral and an evil path.
1733 And do not (-2) take a life, for God has made this forbidden, except in the course of justice. And whoever is killed innocently, then We have given his heir authority, so let him not transgress in the taking of a life, for He will be given victory.
1734 And do not (-2) come near the money of the orphan, except for that which is best, until he reaches his independence. And fulfill the pledge, for the pledge brings great responsibility.
1735 And (2) give full measure when you deal, and weigh with a balance that is straight. That is (2) good and better in the end.
1736 And do (-2) not uphold what you have no knowledge of; for the hearing, eyesight, and heart - all these you are responsible for.
1737 And do not walk in the land (-2) arrogantly, for you will not penetrate the earth, nor will you reach the mountains in height.1738 All of this is (-2) bad, and disliked by your Lord.
1739 That is from what your Lord has inspired to you of the Wisdom. And do not make with God (-1) another god, or you will be cast into Hell, blameworthy and regretting.
Blue Even if God gives the right to kill in the course of justice it is more righteous to save a life whenever possible.
Green Some people would probably abuse this against what I have written here despite it is just copy-pasting from The Book and writing commentary. Okay, they would say so about ketaab and quran, but I stand by that.
Red And that is basically the whole Message printed out in a short sequence of verses, together with the verses what you should do above the horizontal line and the one above that including the text in bold. Uphold justice is the key.
1741 And We have dispatched in this Book that they may remember, but it only increases their aversion!
1745 And when you read the Book, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.
1746 And we place shields over their hearts, that they should not understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you mention your Lord in the Book alone, they run away turning their backs in aversion.1757 The ones you call on, they are themselves seeking a path to their Lord which is nearer, and they desire His mercy, and they fear His retribution. The retribution of your Lord is to be feared!
Blue It is a hint that God is not necessarily referring to stone statues and such idols but real people who are being revered as gods. It would obviously question those who hold for example Muhammad excessively high.
1758 And there is not a town before the Day of Resurrection that We will not destroy it, or punish it with a severe punishment. This is in the Message.
1760 And when We said to you ?Your Lord has encompassed the people.? And We did not make the vision that We showed you except as a test for the people, and the tree that was cursed in the Book. And We are making them fearful, but it only increases their transgression.
1765 ?As for (1) My servants, you (Shaytaan) will have no power over them.? And your Lord is enough as a Caretaker.
Red As long as a person struggles to fulfill the criteria in this circular diagram and by following the Message, the above verse is true for them
http//farm6.staticflickr.com/5546/10816793444_18c10caea7.jpg
1773 And they nearly diverted you from what We inspired to you so that you would fabricate something different against Us, and then they would have taken you as a friend!
1774 And if We had not made you stand firm, you were about to lean towards them a little bit.
1775 Then, We would have made you taste double the retribution in this life and double the retribution in death. And then you would not find for yourself any victor against Us.
1776 And they nearly intimidated you so they could drive you out of the land. But then they would have been destroyed shortly after you were gone.
1777 Such was the way of those whom We had sent before you of Our messengers. And you will not find any change in Our way.Blue And the "infallible" Muhammad nearly commits a grave sin except that The Lord saved him from doing so. So much for infallibility.
1778 Hold the Communion till the setting of the sun; to the murkiness of the night; and the Book at dawn - the Book at dawn is witnessed.
Red In case the verse above should be read in conjunction with the preceding verses it would mean that the Communion mentioned here was something specific for the Messenger in this narration. Otherwise The Lord surely switches fast from directing the focus on Muhammad to other people.
1779 And from the night, as an addition, you shall reflect upon it for yourself, perhaps your Lord would grant you a station that is praiseworthy.
1780 And say ?My Lord, admit me an entrance of truth and let me exit an exit of truth, and grant me from Yourself a support to victory.?
1781 And say ?The truth has come and falsehood has perished. Falsehood is always bound to perish!?
1782 And We send down from the Book what is a healing and mercy to the believers. And it only increases the wicked in their loss.
1785 And they ask you concerning the Spirit. Say ?The Spirit is from the authority of my Lord; and the knowledge you were given was but very little.?
1786 And if We wished, We would take away that which We have inspired to you. Then you would not find for yourself with it against Us a caretaker.Red The Holy Spirit which is some special The Force-like energy in the Universe which runs stronger in some people. It is interesting that one can draw a parallel to something like Star Wars.
1787 Except for a mercy from your Lord. His grace upon you has been great.
1788 Say ?If all mankind and the Jinn were to gather to bring a Book like this, they could not come with its like, even if they were helping one another.?
1789 And We have dispatched to the people in this Book from every example, but most of the people refuse to be anything but rejecters!
1790 And they said ?We will not believe unto you until you cause a spring of water to burst out of the ground?
1791 ?Or that you have an estate of palm trees and grapes, and you cause gushing rivers to burst through it.?
1792 ?Or that you make the heaven fall upon us in pieces as you claimed, or that you bring God and the angels before us.?
1793 ?Or that you have a luxurious home, or that you can ascend into the heavens. And we will not believe in your ascension unless you bring for us a message that we can read.? Say ?Glory be to my Lord. Am I anything other than a human messenger!?
1794 And what stopped the people from believing when the guidance came to them, except that they said ?Has God sent a human messenger??Green How highly the people usually regard their (previous) Messengers. Muhammad, Jesus are seldom regarded as common folks.
17105 And it is with the truth that We have sent it down, and with the truth it came down. And We have not sent you except as a bearer of good news and a warner.
17110 Say ?Call on God or call on the Almighty; by whichever you call on, to Him are the best names.? And do not be too loud in making your Communion, nor too quiet; but seek a path in between.
17111 And say ?Praise be to God who has not taken a son, nor does He have a partner in sovereignty, nor does He have an ally out of weakness.? And magnify Him greatly.Red Obviously an example of what kind of phrase you can have in your Communion, but it is a conversation or monologue to God and it has a purpose other than parroting phrases as the Pagans. We have proved relatively well in previous examinations that Communion is serves a purpose of communication with The Lord. is a word that connotes communication/connection and several other related meanings and is not able to change the meaning so much out from the root's meaning.
We have many examples of Communion in The Book where people implore God or talks to God about their issues and so we have in the Bible too. This is the salah one ought to keep.
Green God has no definite name, but call upon Him by whatever suitable name you find that is honorable.
God bless you

Peace good logic,
The tablets were with written information and they did not contain endless amounts of words but some phrases, a small portion of what people claim. There are no 603 laws or whatever the Jews claim, but they were given some brief commandments and from there the conjecture begun.
The history repeats itself now with "Islam's" sharia laws and the conjecture (hadith) which is out there, while the Message is very simple and one would be fine by simply obeying the text on the tablets from thousands of years ago. If we apply our intellect we can live with the teachings of Moses as they supply enough Guidance together with when we seek the blessings of The Lord.
The question is which faction beats the other in amount of conjecture in rotation.
And I will be threatened and mocked (and perhaps killed) for simply proclaiming the Message, but that is fine because it is a noble mission. Believe and do good and communicate with the Lord and fight injustice. This I stand by.
And I am sorry that I replied in Earthdom's stand.

Saying this doesn't really help out . . . you will start all over again.

Chapter 18 Message check
181 Praise be to God who has sent down the Message to His servant, and He has not made in it any crookedness.
182 It is valuable, giving warning of the severe punishment from Him; and it gives glad tidings to the (1) believers who do (2) good works, that they will have an excellent reward.
183 In which they will remain eternally.
Blue/Red The Message black on white. This is the criteria of God's creed and system.
The cave-dwellers
1813 We tell to you their news with the truth. They were youths (1) who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in Guidance.
1814 And We made firm their hearts when they stood and said ?Our Lord, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, we will not call besides Him any god. If we have done so then it was in error.?
1815 ?Here are our people, they have taken gods besides Him, while they do not come with any clear authority. Who then is more wicked than he who invents lies about God??This was in a Communion (salah) to God they said this and it is just what it is communication.
They were so strong in Faith (infused with the Holy Spirit) that God inspired to them
1816 ?So when you withdraw from them and what they serve besides God, seek refuge in the cave, and your Lord will spread His mercy upon you and prepare for your problem a solution.?
A reverent Believer should believe that God could possibly go this straight-forward to us and inspire this clearly to us, possibly through an angel though it is not clear from the narration.
Green They sought God's Nearness and thus they gained Guidance much like in my thread's approach with Nearness and Guidance.
1827 And recite what has been inspired to you from the Message of your Lord, there is no changing His words, and you will not find besides Him any refuge.
1830 Those who (1) believe and do (2) good works, We do not waste the reward of those who have done good work.
This narration with the two men who had gardens might make us question what God means with setting up partners with God which is echoed throughout the whole Book. There are no partners as far as I am concerned except his own ego here, so logically it should mean that every instance in The Book follows the same reasoning when it comes to associating partners with God. It could be just anything which you believe is a help other than God in deciding the outcome of things.
1832 And give them the example of two men We made for one of them two gardens of grapes, and We surrounded them with palm trees, and We made crops in their midst.
1833 Each of the two gardens brought forth its produce, and none failed in the least. And We caused a river to gush through them.
1834 And he had fruit, so he said to his friend while discussing with him (-2) ?I am better off than you financially, and of great influence.?
1835 And he went back into his garden while he had wronged himself. He said ?I do not think that this will ever perish.?
1836 ?And I do not think that the Hour is coming. And if I am indeed returned to my Lord, then I will surely find even better things for me.?
1837 His friend said to him while discussing with him ?Have you disbelieved in the One who has created you from dust, then from a seed, then He evolved you into a man??
1838 ?But He is God, my Lord, and I do not set up any partners at all with my Lord.?
1839 ?And if you enter your garden, you should say ?This is what God has given, there is no power except by God.? You see me as being less than you in wealth and in children??
1840 ?Perhaps my Lord will give me better than your garden, and He will send upon it a tornado from the sky, so it becomes completely barren.?
1841 ?Or that its water becomes deep under-ground, so you will not be capable of seeking it.?
1842 So his fruits were ruined, and he began turning his hands at that which he had spent on it while it remained destroyed upon its branches. And he said ?I wish I had not set up any partner with my Lord!?Blue He was pretty arrogant, yes? Well, he seems to have believed but that he could somehow evade the requital from God or he would not have used these words. Perhaps he thought that God actively blessed him and that he was better than the poor (or less rich) and less famous man. The arrogant man disbelieved in the absolute authority of God, but he doubted a bit as he said "if" and talked about "my Lord".
1854 And We have dispatched in this Book for the people from every example; but man has always been most argumentative.
< --- >
Verses mainly been talking about Moses travel companion and it is a good lesson in it.
18102 Did those who reject think that they could take My servants as allies besides Me? We have prepared Hell for the rejecters as a dwelling.
Some people think that Muhammad can help them.
18107 Those who (1) believe and do (2) good works, they will have the gardens of Paradise as a dwelling.
18109 Say ?If the sea were an inkwell for the words of my Lord, then the sea would run out before the words of my Lord run out;? even if We were to bring another like it as an extension.
18110 Say ?I am but a human being like you, being inspired that your god is One god. So whoever looks forward to meeting his Lord, then let him (1) do good works, and (1) not serve anyone besides his Lord.?
What is the matter with you? Do you not think the Lord is right here right now?
God bless you
