Can anyone solve the puzzle of verse 3:164?
-
I am not an Arab. I know only Arabic letters.
Today, I came across this verse 3164. It doesn't seem to match the huge number of warnings Allah gave us against false teachings (hadith). I was little astonished to see it. In English, this is how it looks"Certainly Allah conferred a benefit upon the believers when He raised among them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His communications and purifying them, and teaching them the Book and the wisdom, although before that they were surely in manifest error."
How do we interpret it?
-
Peace reel.
Again like huruf, I do not see any contradiction?Reciting to them His communications( Qoran),purifying them (Qoran), teaching them the book and wisdom(Qoran)...
They did not have Qoran before that!
GOD bless you.
Peace. -

I guess, that in that aya in fact we are being told about the Qur'an in the sense that we must apply to it the wisdom that is shown in it. Like for instance, we are not merely told to do what we are told, but that we should ourselves, thinking properly in what we are told, in the WISDOM enclosed in the text of the book, go beyond the paralizing "is it forbidden or is it ordered" and be able to judge of any condition or situation according to wisdom and not necessarily for every context or complex question look for a specific order or prohibition. We are said to be khalifas so we should be able to ponder and reflect and act with wisdom. That is the wisdom in the Qur'an.
That concept, I think, is enfolded in the denomiantion of the Qur'an as guide. Hudaa lilmuttaqin. A guide is not a recipe book but something that appeal so our own ability to understand and to enquire and to draw sound consequences from any amount of data we may have and to identify dangers, differences, similarities, that is the ability to act with intelligence and wisdom according to what is being pursued.
3.164 is to let us know that wisdom is in the Qur'an. If we are looking for it, it is there. Not only recipies with all hte mninute details , but tools to be able to draw ourselves any recipe for any circumstance. In fact, we know, there are not many absolute detailed commandment or prohibitions int he Qur'an. The commandments are rather general and in the sence of what must be at all events safeguarded, like the common good, the respect for the person, for the privacy, justice, goodness to everybody, voluntary disposition to solve problems in the best way, as shown by the very common expression "bilma3aruf". Bil ma3aruf is not a precise doing or sn invariable amount of anything, but rather a general factor that we must always respect in any doing. What is the best solution in every situation is something that the believer must strive to get, so that everybody is attended to as solicitously as possible. No just mak what is minimumly equitable, but try to make the best possible with the best disposition and will. I mean, love people, love to make people satisfied. So that if you cannot give them so much, because there is not su much, give at least acknowledgement to their good deeds or attitudes, I mean be generous with people. That we can always try.

Salam,
Just for your info
If we read & understand the Quran fully; we realize that the Only one task that was assigned to all Prophets by Allah Jalla Aala which was to deliver the laws of BOOKs of Allah to the people clearly. Quran again and again says that the Prophets job is just to deliver the message from the BOOKs of Allah to the people. But these Khabeeth Fanatics do not believe what Quran says in verse 544 & 2213 & in many other verses instead they add in islam the forged sunna+Hadith that Prophet never left behind in manuscript form. It was not the duty of any Prophet to invent their separate Sunna+Hadiths parallel to the BOOKS of Allah nor they ever invented but by Clergy centuries later."Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt'. Noble Quran verse 6114
"The sole duty of the messenger is to deliver the message, and GOD knows everything you declare and everything you conceal".
Up to year 672 AD Muslims were united as one Umma (Nation) under Quran, & were not aware of terms such as sunna Hadiths, Naats, & Droods etc until Persian Imams (disguised Zoroastrians) forged millions of lies 250-400 years after the death of Prophet & later they labeled their lies as Hadiths in order to discredit/over rule Quranic Laws and split one united Muslim Umma into countless sects.
Whole Islamic law is contained in Quran. Quran is THE BEST HADITH of Allah & also is only the AUTHENTIC HADITH OF Prophet.
The Koran is in detail & is made Easy to understand & memorize
Extra-Quranic Hadiths are an innovation
Allah in Quran 6943-47 makes it crystal clear that all preserved Wahi sent to Prophet Muhammad PBUH is contained only in Quran.
So there is no any preserved Wahi out side the Quran. Therefore, it is clearly proven from the verse 6944, that preserved Wahi is only one type that is contained in Quran .
Verse # 6944 makes it clear as the sun on the sky that Personal sayings of Prophet are NOT WAHI. Allah in these verses clearly says, that If Prophet Muhammad had mixed his own sayings in Quran, we could have seized him from his right hand & could have cut his life-vein.NOBLE QURAN IS THE BEST HADITH OF ALLAH & also ONLY THE authentic hadith of Prophet . So when you follow Quran, its mean you are following both, Allah and Prophet.
Mullahs succeeded to transform the REAL DEEN of Islam into Mullahs-made religion in past 1200 years. Then in order to market their "Religion of Mullahs"; they as usual felt no shame even in twisting the meanings of verses of Quran in order to misguide the majority of sheeple blindly-following Muslims so that they should come to Mullahs-shops to consult them for the matters of their self-made religion. Islam is a DEEN (divine system), & not a religion. DEEN emphasize on, to serve humanity/Humans to please Allah Jalla Aala but religion of Mullahs and Priests emphasize on to please GOD through their man-made rituals. Rituals are not given in scriptures.
Allah says, His BOOK is complete and fully detailed & it does not miss any thing that is required in Islam. When Muslims followed only the Noble Quran under the command of Last Prophet and 4 guided Caliphs, Muslims became a superpower of world in 636AD after defeating two superpowers of that time, Romans and Zoroastrian Persians.
But Muslims decline started after the defeated Persians trained pseudo Imams & ordered them to forge millions of lies and then labeled them hadiths of Prophet in order to distort Islam to take revenge from Muslims for their humiliating defeat in the battle field of Qadsia. After the inventions of millions of fake hadiths, majority of Jaahil blindly-following Muslims placed BOOK of Allah aside and started to believe in the lies of Zoroastrian Hadith imams that they stuffed in their evil books.
Among these lies, is also a big lie called fictions about graves. Quran makes it clear that all prophets were like other mortal humans except they used to receive wahi from Allah. Quran also makes it clear that the dead do not listen. Quran also never says about any activity or Azaab in Grave But on the contrary, Forged Hadith books of Persians spread countless fictions about death and grave like there will be questions in grave and Azaab in grave, and many many other fictions that Zoroastrian imams copied from Christians Jews and Zoroastrians & stuffed in hadith Books.
Look at the Biggest religious group, the Christians that have millions of scholars called Priests & scholars that carry Ph.D's in theology. But why all Christians with all their Priests & Ph.D Scholars have gone astray for 2000 years? Why? Why? There is only one MAIN REASON, that is blind-following of their elders & old misguided generations. This exact same reason applies to not less than 97 percent of Muslims who have also gone astray frm 1200 years, Despite the Quran declares those people THE WORST BEASTS on planet who follow others blindly.
Iblees has sent majority of people on earth astray, incl Christians Muslims Jews, Hindus ++. Reason is blind following from the older generations. Quran repeatedly warns; Do not believe blindly unless u inquire and investigate it fully. Muslims are following the Criminal evil Mullahs blindly from 1200 years & so are gone astray.
Quran 3882 said ?Then by Thy very might I shall most certainly beguile them all into grievous error
Quran 3883 except such of them as are truly Thy servants"So please please at least do some research about Islam and learn arabic to understand the quran, if not get an unbiased translation of the quran and since it is god's book, let God alone be the teacher.
If you all need more proof of the above just let me know, i will be glad to show you more info which is authentic.
