425And whoever of you cannot afford to marry the emancipated
female believers, then from those committed to by your oath
of the believing young women. And God is more aware of your
faith, some of you to each other. You shall marry them with
the permission of their parents, and give them their dowries in
kindness. To be emancipated (mu'antin)?not for illicit sex or taking lovers.
Once they are emancipated(u'inna), then any of them who comes with
an immorality shall have half of what is upon those already
emancipated of the punishment. This is for those who fear a
hardship from among you, but if you are patient it is better for
you. And God is Forgiver, Merciful.

I think you cant use emancipate here, as the root means to protect or to guard.

Salam this is what Edip Yuksel said about 415 & 16

416

You can check in http//quranix.org/4#15 for verification, click on the red numbers to see the translators notes.

Salaam,
Thanks for the notes.
I believe he is right on the "prostitution", because otherwise, in my opinion, it would be difficult to explain "until God makes a way out for them" (a way to escape from the house? a way to get out of the situation sounds better), but I don't agree with the "quarantine" thing; to me it looks just like a command to a man to keep his wife or daughter at home, to avoid them continuing committing that lewdness.

I would suggest to translate the word "junuban" as impure or something else/similar.

Bismillahi I think it would be more accurate and appropriate to translate it to With God's name

Salaam, I think this is a typo

2380 And He is the One who gives life and brings death, and to Him is the alteration of the night and the day. Do you not comprehend?

Alteration instead of alternation.

Bismillahi I think it would be more accurate and appropriate to translate it to With God's name

http//haqeeqat.pk/02.%20Grammatical%20units/1.gif

These three words, a preposition, a common noun and a Proper Noun constitute the first grammatical unit . It comprises of a Prepositional Phrase + Possessive Phrase.

The first word comprising of a consonant and a vowel is Inseparable Preposition, meaning that it occurs prefixed with its object noun; in Arabic it is called . Prepositions render their object noun in genitive case. The preposition and its object noun constitute what is called a prepositional phrase, in Arabic grammar .

The prepositions used in the Divine Discourse help visually recognize the nouns, effortlessly. The preposition designates contiguity in its broadest sense. It has a wide range of uses including spatiotemporal, instrumental and manner adverbial. It is used for the following purposes

For connectivity;
For assistance; instrument
For making a verb transitive;
For an adverbial meaning;
For accompaniment.
For requital; and
Extraneous; according to a rule for the negated predicate; also in interrogation.

The preposition is evidently for seeking assistance; This phrase in isolation literally means "recourse-beginning-activation-concomitance is with/by a name-code". Initiating a controlled process requires information. And the most fundamental fact about information is that it is itself preceded by the Prime Source Who is but the Living and holding Will. The Divine Discourse concatenates facts in perfect sequence and chronological order. Its first word vividly indicates at the outset about superb concatenation-consistence-contiguity and colligation in the contents of the Book in hand. This is the First scientific fact of the physical world. The creation and for created ones the initiation of the process of learning-knowledge is but the "code/name". The human memory and that of computer can save nothing without knowing or assigning a code/name to a thing-object-phenomenon.

Mazhar

Salaam, I think this is a typo

Alteration instead of alternation.

Good detection.

Alteration refers to change in one thing. Alternation is the reciprocal succession of (normally two) things in time or place; the act of following and being followed by turns; alternate succession, performance, or occurrence; as, the alternation of day and night, cold and heat, summer and winter, hope and fear.

Verbal noun is also of Form-VIII. Its Root also has the primary signification

That it signifies the coming or happening of a thing after another thing rising and holding the position and status that was once held by the other one - alternation; secondly it is contra. of past referring future; and thirdly it signifies change.

Root http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/(410).htm

And He the Exalted causes emergence of life in matter and causes death to alive.

And the alternation of the Night and the Day is for Him the Exalted to manage.

Is it for reason that you do not ponder?use intellect to differentiate?

Thanks for completing
I noticed it randomly.

I want also to share a thought on nafs.
I think that, since its primary meaning is "soul", before translating it to "person" we should then consider if another meaning is possible in that context.
For example

They did not teach anyone until they would say "We are a test, so do not lose faith!" Thus they teach what can separate between a person and his mate; but they cannot harm anyone except with the permission of God.

2102
What if God meant another thing here?
This piece of the verse is usually understood to mean that they learnt how to separate a man and his wife, but what if what they learnt was to divide any living being from its mate?

O people, be aware of your Lord who has created you from one person and He created from it its mate and sent forth from it many men and many women; and be aware of God whom you ask about, and the relatives. God is Watcher over you.

41

And He is the One who initiated you from one person; with a place for stability and development. We have explained the signs to a people who understand.

698

These verses are understood by sectarians to mean that Eve came from the rib of Adam... This translation does the same as most of the traditional translations.
But the verses could also mean that we were initiated from one living being, like a living cell, and from it God made its mate (by dividing the cell).

Correct me if I am wrong in anything, since I don't speak arabic.

Salam brother,
Sorry for replying only today.

I see that the meaning of "Soul", which also carries the meaning of "life" is in the lexicon.
Also we have the following

Qur'an 3185

Every soul will taste death

It is not only every person that will die, but every living being (animals, plants, ...).

The_Sardar

It is not only every person that will die, but every living being (animals, plants, ...).

Yes and they will return to Allah/God (SWTAY)

20111
WaAAanati alwujoohu lilhayyialqayyoomi waqad khaba man hamala thulman
And the faces shall be humbled for the Eternal, the Living. And whoever carried wickedness with him has failed.

5526
Kullu man AAalayha fanin
Everyone upon it will fade away.

5527
Wayabqa wajhu rabbika thooaljalali waal-ikrami
And the face of your Lord will remain; One with Majesty and Honor.

4065
Huwa alhayyu la ilahailla huwa faodAAoohu mukhliseena lahu alddeenaalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
He is the Living; there is no god except He. So call on Him while devoting the system to Him. Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds.

2135
Kullu nafsin tha-iqatu almawtiwanablookum bialshsharri waalkhayri fitnatanwa-ilayna turjaAAoona
Every soul will taste death. And We burden you with evil and good as a test, and it is TO US THAT YOU WILL RETURN.

2957
Kullu nafsin tha-iqatu almawti thummailayna turjaAAoona
Every soul will taste death, then TO US YOU WILL BE RETURNED

Ra-Jiim-Ayn = to return, turn back, turn off, (blame) upon any one, come back, repeat, answer, bring answer, be brought back. raji'un - one who returns. murji'un - return, termination. taraja'a (vb. 6) -to return to one another.

2558
Watawakkal AAala alhayyi allatheela yamootu wasabbih bihamdihi wakafabihi bithunoobi AAibadihi khabeeran
And put your trust in the Eternal Who does not die, and glorify His praise. It is enough for Him that He is expert in the sins of His servants.

3952 is missing something.

3952
Do they not realize that God spreads the provision for whoever He chooses, and withholds? In that are signs for a people who believe

Is the underlined correct in 3953?

3953
Say ?O My servants who transgressed against themselves, do not
despair of the mercy of God. For God forgives all sins. He is the
Forgiver, the Merciful.?

I wonder why we as muslims still use proper names such as moses, gabriel, pharaoh and so on.

Isn?t it clear from Quran that their names are Musa, Jibril and Firawn?

Please stop using names taken from other than Quran itself, especially from the books that had been twisted and edited by men.

May ALLAH forgive us.

I depends on where you are with whom you are talking.

In an englishspeaking Forum it is ok to use Moses to stick with this example as this is whats the englishname is .When you know that you are debatting with a jew it is ok to use Moshe due to respect if you know they are muslims then Musa.

Dont think that People Twisted the names

My view

i dont think they are English name. they are taken from Old Testament (OT).

Since the current book of Old Testament has contradictions injected by human led by the devil itself, we should not consider it as a holy book. we should not take any information from it to add up or complete any information we got from Quran under any circumstances, since Quran already state that it is complete. no extra information regarding road of salvation is required.

those names from OT are causing us heavy problems due to

that is the way they can smuggle the non existing character of Jesus to become Nabi Isa, so that many of us think Nabi Isa is Jesus and vice versa.
that is the way they smuggle the idea of false long timeline of prophets from Nabi Nuh to Nabi Muhammad by changing the name of Nabi Yakub to Israel, so that we will think that Bani Israil is the descendant of Nabi Yakub.

i dont know if there are more evil agenda other than these 2, but these are already bad enough.

please stop using extra-quranic information when we talk about Quran.

FM translation of 2217

They ask you about the sacred month "Is there fighting in it?" Say "MUCH FIGHTING IS IN IT, and to repel from the path of God and to disbelieve in it, and the Sacred Temple, to drive its inhabitants out from it is far greater with God, and persecution is worse than being killed." And they still will fight you until they turn you back from your system if they are able. And whoever of you turns back from his system, and he dies while disbelieving, then these have nullified their works in this world and the next; these are the people of the Fire, in it they will abide!

but this is correct imo ?...say "FIGHTING/KILLING IN IT (IS) BIG/GREAT, and prevention/obstruction from God's path and disbelief with(in) it, and the Masjid the Forbidden/Sacred, and bringing/forcing out its people from it (is) bigger/greater at God, and persecution (is) bigger/greater from the fighting/killing,...?

In this verse the derivatives of root K-B-R come 3 times, and it is clear that the 2nd and 3rd occasions signify a sinful action even though it is not mentioned directly, (i.e. bigger/greater crime/sin). So the first occasion can also interpret in the same way i.e. big/great sin/crime.

Thus fighting/killing in Al Shahr Al Haram is

great sin
preventing (people) from God&#039s path
equivalent to disbelieving in ASAH

peace Mohamed, I agree with you. As a side note you may be interested to learn of the controversy surrounding translation of 2217 in traditional sources
http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/meaning-masjid-al-haram-Quran.html analysis, and references this article.

It is a rarely discussed issue.

What is the difference between ism and alqaab?
FM translation of 4911 made both as the same!
I think ism = name and alqaab = insulting nickname(s)

from 4911,
"...Nor shall you mock one another, or call each other names; miserable indeed is the name of wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors."
