Homosexuality LGBTQI and the deen

imrankhawaja

Bender,

Thanks for clarifying. I believe that gives us enough info to test your theory. It seems MofF also agrees with you, so perhaps he too will provide answers.

You may recall in the past you and mmkhan claimed (without evidence) there were no synonyms in Quran, and when I produced one simple example, both of you were stumped and could not explain any difference between the words. Reference thread.

Let's move onto your claim(s) in this thread. Please answer the following questions

what is the root concept of Daad-Ra-Ba AND the meaning of the first form verb DaRaBa
Root http//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=Drb
what is the root concept of Ra-Alif/Hamzeh-Siin AND the meaning of the word 'raas'
Root http//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=rAs
what is the root concept of Siin-Jiim-Dal AND the meaning of the word 'masjid'
Root http//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=sjd
what is the root concept of Ya-Dal-Ya AND the meaning of the word 'yad'
Root http//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=ydy

Once you provide the answers we will test them in Quran occurrences. If others have better test examples, feel free to cite them.

excellent post wakas.. indeed God blessed you with lot of knowledge and understanding of scripture..

peace
God bless you

imrankhawaja

I think you missed my point.
If he (imran) uses corpus quran to make a claim then I am also allowed to use the same source to make a claim.

i think we missed your point and you missed your homework... or you are careless enough to check the previous reference... but this time i will make sure i will take you to the tour of words... lol look word tour and world tour just one letter difference make it so big and small... hmm

26165

26165 "Are you attracted to the males of the worlds?"

incase if you have some issues with the meanings of males...

1697

1697 Whoever does good works, whether male or female, and is a believer, We will give him a good life and We will reward them their dues with the best of what they used to do.

incase if you you are looking for arabic of foot ...

1694

1694 And do not use your oaths as a means of deception between you, that a foot will slip after it has been made firm, and you will taste the evil of turning away from the path of God, and you will have a great retribution.

you always welcome again to try foot, hand, or anything with this word ( )

interestingly this word we can methphorically use for move/advancement.. same like a move in chess !

peace.. peace

How do you make into males by the way? Clearly a sectarian idea of the past. Dhekr is obviously a word with a completely different connotation. The sentence is beyond doubt meant to say something else. does have a connotation close to the meaning of "know" and is most guaranteed related to the word dhekr used in the context.

No reason to be around here with people who cannot use their brain. I will not discuss any further. And I had already abandoned my work on explaining Quran to most part in this forum in response to accusations.

Man_of_Faith

And the translation of 1694 seems pretty feeble.

The thing is, the right interpretation will look so wrong because the correction of what Quran wishes to convey is so vastly different from the sectarian conjecture of medieval times. There are myriad words to check for their true meaning in every section of Quran in order to puzzle the pieces together. And if one wishes to reach the true message of this writing then they cannot associate several different meanings to Arabic words, because the language does not work this way.

And I already decided after the threats not to continue any efforts in this forum related to relaying any of my work here nor discuss it. If anyone wishes to hear any more they will need to take it with me privately or elsewhere. In this forum I mainly focus instead on bringing forth remarks on the already established common interpretation in order to reach the consciousness of some witted people. The problem is that I do not seek for people to abandon Quran and lose faith in it but lose faith in the accompanying interpretation.

@ MOF i m really not in a mood to talk with you becoz in last one and half year... i come across with you plantey of times and you failed in proving your claims ... i have given you enough chances in past ... in every thread you cry on one thing like a stubborn kid... which make me feel sympathy for your/your mind so did u see me replying you anywhere in last month... ? if not then

its a hint for a witty person that someone is ignoring him and his ideas...

.. and you know what that thing is... secterian interpretation is wrong & & & & &

i just replied here to let you know i m not interested in your ideas and you tell your ideas to the one who wishes to listen..

this mazakar(urdu)/zakar(arabic)(male) monas(urdu)/onsa(arabic)/ (female) thing if somebody else will ask from me i will give him reply... so better not waste my and your time...

handshake

NOTE ( wakas ask something from you) waste your time there...

Man_of_Faith

Have I? As far as I can remember I have shown you each time concerning this. If something sounds weird in your version of Arabic it is because those semantics are entirely taken out of thin air by medieval clergymen.

However I told in the recent posts that I would also let you live in your little sphere of imperfection with a primitive deity who needs to be fed to its ego big as a mountain in comparison. That is your choice.

You have never proven me wrong except in your opinion, and that you can keep together with your fellows here being followers of a neanderthal god.

Be well
Amenuel

Man_of_Faith

And I answer your ranting as much as I would like since I asked a question that I never got any answer to. Answer my Question or one cannot take you seriously.

What is the logic in using a word with its root in memory, mind, remember, to say "male" in Arabic?

Answer how you can make it feasible according to some sane logic.

You never gave me an answer concerning "haram" that you say means both sanctified and forbidden.

You could start giving rational answers before you talk about any possible error in my interpretation.

imrankhawaja

look i dnt wanted to b rude with you...

your problem is obvious ... you know what ... your knowledge regarding language is very poor ... forget about past ,, how many times you failed..

even here due to your poor knowledge of language you did not pay attention on zakar and zekar ... dhakar/dhekar

now think about it ... what is the difference ... ?

and please .. dnt ruin this thread with your faulty interpretation...

look the topic , and then give reply..
the topic is lgbt in the lens of quran ?

for you
question is lgbt in secterian lens of quran?

according to you if secterian version is against homosex then you already gave your answer ... if not then provide reason with the same secterian interpretation?

example

if secterian interpretation is sayin .. God is one(wahid) then you have to prove from the same secterian interpretation that God is two(sani)... hope you got it...

what do you think secterian interpretation is in the favor of HOMOSEX?

Man_of_Faith

There is no difference between any zekar or zakar, the root is .

What do you base your claim about zekar and zakar on then? is pronounced the same no matter what kind of invented diacritical markers added to it.

You and your people have the faulty interpretation and not me.

imrankhawaja

There is no difference between any zekar or zakar, the root is .

in that case refer what waks ask you... about rooting

for me its a clear difference and i can see it clearly ... (sajud) rooting and masjid from same root is a good start...for begginers

You and your people have the faulty interpretation and not me.

ok thats another thing , but its not the answer ...
i repeat it once more .. i hate when i need to repeat my questions you was right people are behaving like primary kids in this thread... i agree with you on this..

question is , what do you think about secterian interpretion is in favor of homosex or no?

Man_of_Faith

Meem is prefixing Sejid, the root is still Siin-Jiim-Dal.

You are not answering my reply to my input from day one except rejection based without a valid counter-argument.

You are still not dealing with my question on and explaining to me how one same root can be mind, remember and male at the same time. You need a rational argument for that one or any intelligent person could find the whole Arabic language as your friends the medieval clerics invented as unintelligible. Instead of addressing my question you circumventing my question by saying how lost I am which is not relevant to the subject.

And yes, it is quite repetitive, and this is why I have previously also stopped responding after a few rounds because it is just circular reasoning, i.e. the discussion is not allowed to develop, and that is because the questions still stand unaddressed.

Homosexuality is breaking the directive of Moses on the parameter about vain sex (usually translated illicit sex). This is however in return misinterpreted as not to include marital intercourse, but all kinds of activation of the sex drive is included in the rule. Jesus did clarify it by saying even looking upon a woman with desire is wrong and against this rule.

On the other hand all directives are mostly misinterpreted and it is the root cause as to why someone transgresses which is the point.

Why you want to look upon a woman is because of the sex drive. Why you would like to defeat (kill) a person is because of your drive for domination. Why you would like to not to care for your neighbor like yourself is because you by instinct care for yourself the most. And then et cetera.

Be well
Amenuel

Man_of_Faith

There is just 10 laws of God and there will always be. There is no specific anti-gay law, but obviously it can be put under the heading of "vain sex" if the homosexual couple is interested in that. The decree will stand until the end of time.

People should watch themselves on not becoming aroused at all instead or at minimum, not being so bodily in their mind.

imrankhawaja

thanx for your answer.. i can understand you also think secterian interpretation is against homosex whatever heading it comes with dosent make any difference ... peace

You have a good memory.
I don't understand why you insist I am claiming something.
If you do not agree with my approach then you are totally free to do it your way.
I can not prove that my method is the correct method just like you can not prove yours is the correct one.
I am just following what I think is better.

Your simple example in that thread did not prove your approach nor did it disprove my approach in case you thought so.

Are the red words synonyms?
btw this example of me is of course not a proof that there are no synonyms in the quran, it's just an example.
I am just against such ideas because I think such ideas are only bringing more and more confusions while I think the quran should be clear if it is indeed the book I think it is.

How exactly are my answers to these questions going to prove or disprove anything?
Lets say I take for "daraba" "violence" as root concept and first form is "beating" then what?

Bender

o

well let me know where i insult any women...

Ok, here you go
"and about homosexulty you already send the quote which is not answer by anyone yet apart from screaming like a loser... that what clearly show someone defeat when they start screaming or giving up on anything..."

hmm so according to your understanding...

interpretation should be like this..

why do you approach the foot(with lust) instead of women.. indeed you are ignorant people
or

why do you approach foot(footjob) instead of women , indeed you are intelligent people
tafseer by bender this verse indicates the invention of footjoob rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl

this boy is funny ... i love his interpreatation he will bring a change in free minds by his reasonings and interpreatation...

look i already know it will be faulty interpretation so i already guessed it... aww i think my prediction was correct ... yay

anyway everybody have a right to beleive and understand what they want... handshake

it looks like wakas also raise some points lets see where the wind will blow..

i think we missed your point and you missed your homework... or you are careless enough to check the previous reference... but this time i will make sure i will take you to the tour of words... lol look word tour and world tour just one letter difference make it so big and small... hmm

I guess I have no useful moves anymore, so I think it's time for me to resign this game.
Congrats handshake

Wakas

Your simple example in that thread did not prove your approach nor did it dissaprove my approach in case you thought so.

I never thought so and I even explicitly said this in the very link I referenced.

I can not prove that my method is the correct method just like you can not prove yours is the correct one.

I disagree. We can easily test methods to see which ones are consistent, lead to logical/practical results, and perhaps even falsify some. Methods (for various things) are tested all the time.

Are the red words synonyms?

No.

btw this example of me is of course not a proof that there are no synonyms in the quran, it's just an example.

I agree, your example is irrelevant and proves nothing.

I am just against such ideas because I think such ideas are only bringing more and more confusions while I think the quran should be clear if it is indeed the book I think it is.

Have you even considered the potential benefits of synonyms (in terms of clarifying)?

How exactly are my answers to these questions going to prove or disprove anything?
Lets say I take for "daraba" "violence" as root concept and first form is "beating" then what?

It's real simple, and I already implied how, we insert "beating" into the Quran occurrences and whenever it results in an illogical/impractical/contradiction (if any) I ask you to explain it. If you cant make it make sense your method fails.

Of course there will be an element of subjectivity to it, e.g. you may think your translation of a certain verse makes sense, whereas I do not. That's fine, but evidence needs to be put on the table first before we can test/decide anything.

If you are ready to put the results on the table, let's begin. Please confirm your answers for all 4, or if you want, we can do one at a time. Please confirm your actual understanding of the root DRB and verb DaRaBa.

MofF has already ran away, so it's just you.

imrankhawaja

Ok, here you go
"and about homosexulty you already send the quote which is not answer by anyone yet apart from screaming like a loser... that what clearly show someone defeat when they start screaming or giving up on anything..."

brother bender in that case , you must have to look this ... why i use red thingie... people due to their comments make me to write this... you can always verify the insults ...

No se le pueden pedir peras al olmo. ( i dnt know what that really means)

It is useless to attempt to reason or teach them grammar. They are impervious and they are not interested because women simple are not there nor, what is mor eimportant, SHOULD BE there.

I do not know why anybody still bothers to indulge talking to those peoples. If once they do no take any notice of what is explained to them, it is a waste of time to even bother taking any further notice of such contrived stupidity. For them a condition for being muslim is to be thouroughly stupid and brainless. Ignore them is the most charitable attitude towards and specially towards oneself.

handshake

uq

Peace all,

Notwithstanding my arguments presented above, this matter, as I stated above, is a judgement that must be made by each person who is affected by, or who is inclined to, homosexuality.

It is a judgement that must be made after the assessment of the relevant verses of the Quran.

Then, we shall all be raised after death, brought before God, and made to answer for our judgement.

Peace!

Bender

I never thought so and I even explicitly said this in the very link I referenced.

I thought I read something else there...

No.

I agree, your example is irrelevant and proves nothing.

Ok, then you really lost me now.
I thought when you brought up synonyms and even a link to an old thread were you gave the next example, you wanted to discuss synonyms.

idrib bi AAasaka al hajara fa infajarat min hu
idrib bi AAasaka al hajara fa inbajasat min hu
But I guess I am wrong.
So before I make the same mistake, can you please clarify why you were talking about synonyms and homonyms and why the reference to a 4 years old thread if that was not what you wanted to discuss?

I disagree. We can easily test methods to see which ones are consistent, lead to logical/practical results, and perhaps even falsify some. Methods (for various things) are tested all the time.

I welcome every feedback or correction

Have you even considered the potential benefits of synonyms (in terms of clarifying)?

Well the potential "benefits" are exactly the reason why I am against synonyms.

It's real simple, and I already implied how, we insert "beating" into the Quran occurrences and whenever it results in an illogical/impractical/contradiction (if any) I ask you to explain it. If you cant make it make sense your method fails.

Not my method fails but my understanding of that word fails.
And this is what I am doing for years, see if undersatnding x fits everywhere, if not then I try to come up with a better defintion.
A loooooooooooot of defintions failed by this method but not the method itself.

Of course there will be an element of subjectivity to it, e.g. you may think your translation of a certain verse makes sense, whereas I do not. That's fine, but evidence needs to be put on the table first before we can test/decide anything.

yes this is testing defintions not methods.

If you are ready to put the results on the table, let's begin. Please confirm your answers for all 4, or if you want, we can do one at a time. Please confirm your actual understanding of the root DRB and verb DaRaBa.

I seriously do not get the point of this, except if you want to see if my understanding of a particular word is consistent everywhere or not.

I admit that my approach does not bring a lot of results, this means that I have for a loooooooooooooot of words/verses no clue, but I am confident that this is the way to go as I believe that this approach will lead to a better understanding.
Allowing homonyms and synonyms will for sure bring a lot of results, but it allows also a lot of different interpretations, and I am confident that this is the wrong approach.

MofF has already ran away, so it's just you.

I guess he is wiser than me.

Is every discussion here a game of thrones?

Man_of_Faith

I guess he is wiser than me.

Is every discussion here a game of thrones?

The point is that I have tried before, but the way I perceive it the tone tends to get very arrogant and presumptuous and seldom I get any answers on remarks that I give. And a while ago I was warned by the administration of saying things with no evidence, but evidence on an esoteric topic like this is obviously difficult to reach definitely just like that. I think no one or very few in this forum agree the Arabic is understood properly and the more people seem to open-mindedly study it the less coherent the traditional understanding is.

I stand by the results of my own study and the way I see it Arabic would be exceedingly ambiguous in case the language's words would carry multiple clearly different meanings. My research has also pointed me towards one single general meaning for each Arabic root although with attached affixes it can be altered slightly, but still keeps the root's fundamental meaning.

The most common counter-argument I receive is that "when your claim is applied to Quran in general it does not add up. Well, that is usually because in those circumstances the traditionally generated rendition is incorrect and needs reinterpretation. Quran is not so well interpreted as people may think. In fact it is a chaos and the whole understanding of the language needs to be revised. Pure amateurs made it look like this version is right.

Aramaic and Arabic are "God's" languages, but left mysterious and gotten into the hands of paganistic clergymen who could not understand it and also did interpret it as according to themselves. The abuse of this family of languages is systematic.

But very seldom does any intelligent people care to listen and it is indeed futile as Bender likes to imply in his comment to you, you are stuck in a clerical fabrication and do not seem to find your way out of it just like every person for the past 1000-2000 years who has tried to interpret it. Most people fail because they take for granted that what was already known for centuries before has any basis in the real family of Semitic languages.

I have written it before, but it is like someone just fabricated a context upon another innocent one which also does to a great extent speak of something quite different.

But that is not so difficult to figure out, the deity of the traditional interpretation of Quran is awfully primitive and not what you would expect from an advanced being like the Rabb of the world. This is because this image of Rabb was developed by Pagan-minded clergymen who actually did not have so much knowledge on the real truth and whose understanding of things is shown by reading Quran from their perspective.

Like the most advanced being in existence would care whether people are homosexual or not, no, the one who is interested in something as primitive as physical intercourse is just indulgent in vanity, but it is their own choice to be underdeveloped. No punishment except what they cause for themselves.

Prophet Lut was primarily concerned about his people's aggression and keeping of slaves and having orgies and it may be true that they were homosexually inclined but it was mainly because of the vanity in it. He offered his daughters because he had offered them in marriage to male young men who came to his home, but they were too obsessed with their spree and strange religious practices. But the story is twisted quite much throughout the history.

Lut had been forbidden to speak to outsiders and they came to isolate his guests and to prevent the word from spreading from them, but it was also to enslave and abuse strangers and take their possessions and the angels which had arrived looked tempting. And nothing in the text says the angels did not look like females in their disguise.

But this is where your translation has gotten it entirely wrong since you make "male" out of zekar for example while it does not say that.

And does not "males of the world" sound stupid as a translation and even in the native tongue point of view? Al-'Alemeen does obviously not mean world but it is a form of Alem which connotes on "to know". I have not worked on this particular segment of text, but contextually it tends to be feasible to regard zekar as something about the memory, mind or remember when you have a word with connotation on "know".

But then again this is the result of my work and I am laying forth the point of view that I am having, and in that view the family of Semitic languages has been hijacked by people who have not had a clue about what they were doing.

Be well
