    Both things are valid. Pl study how books are written. Please read it

    No brother both things are not valid in the case of Quraan which is a book of guidance for the whole mankind. It claims to provide guidance to everyone approaching it with clean slate. The one approaching it with pre-conceived information will try to get confirmation of what he has already established.

    When approaching a text, a reader should try to determine who the author is trying to communicate with. It is necessary because the message is geared to be consonant with the audience's prior knowledge and assumptions. It is the audience in relation to whom will depend the main idea, validation and support, word choice, sentence structure, writing plan - form, writing relationship what tone of voice comes to you as a reader.

    Target audience for Quraan is the mankind. So the author is communicating with everyone approaching it.

      The audience is humanity. But did you notice who is addressee in a particular part of the text. Since you have totally closed your mind to let any knowledgeable thing enter therein you keep raising irrelevant things. See the addressees

        Who is this Abd of Allah? Allah says this Abd takes you and me out of the depths of darkness into enlightenment.

        What is the name of Abd to whom the Book was sent?

        Mazhar thanks for quoting these ayahs but these are with reference to the book. Obviously Abd in these ayahs is the one who received the book and as such became the messenger of Allah. Quraan inform us that the messenger of Allah was Muhammad.

        4829 .......

        Are you assuming that 131 occurrences of the noun "Abd" in Quraan are always used for Muhammad?

            Personal insults will make no difference brother. Bring your proof to validate your translation.

            You missed 2185 which say Quraan is guidance for mankind.

            ......

            SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
            The month of Ramadhan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people .........

            Your references for different addressee are valid to get guidance from them and not making these ayahs for those specific groups. All examples, history etc in Quran are there to give us guidance.

            SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
            Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allah intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,

              Does it mean every occurrence of Abd in Quraan means prophet Muhammad.

                  It is no answer. See who are addressed by vocative particle. Importance of structuring the text according to addressee I have already highlighted.

                    The author of these verses is commanding to the one who received these verses i.e. prophet Muhammad.

                      Exactly. And it reveals to us that the Speaker is calling upon the Messenger by an epithet, giving him a descriptive name; and we get about his inherent nature, habit, conduct he possessed at the time of this call.

                        In it also "His abd" is the Messenger. And this sentence is mentioned in the episode of his journey beyond the ascensions of the universe.

                            What it has to do with your translation of isolated ayah 171?

                                Going by the discipline of reading a book, one does not need assumptions and traditions. One figure of speech is Tasreef; and second is frames on subjects/concepts. In every frame there are key words. You can then link the frames and get the complete idea.

                                Qur?n is rendered facilitative for comprehension

                                By unique device like coverage of an event by multiple cameras

                                  Going by the discipline of reading a book, one does not need assumptions and traditions. One figure of speech is Tasreef; and second is frames on subjects/concepts. In every frame there are key words. You can then link the frames and get the complete idea.

                                  Qur?n is rendered facilitative for comprehension

                                  By unique device like coverage of an event by multiple cameras

                                  1-surah najam is about night travel of the prophet from a non-existant masjid ul haram at that time around kaaba to a remotely high masjid.

                                  There is no travel mentioned in these ayahs. Can you please show me a single word in these ayah that means travel?

                                  2- Jannah is a physical place where your great great great grand father used to live with his wife. They ate from a forbidden tree and as a result were thrown down on this earth. What a crime and what a punishment.

                                  Quran gives an example of Jannah in following ayahs not actual description of Jannah.

                                      I do believe in "Baitullah" but my God is above corporeal needs.

                                        I said there is no word for travel in these ayah. Then how you bring in the word isra walmeraj in your interpretation.

                                        God can show His signs to a human without sending a flying horse with the face of a beautiful women. The vision does not require to physically travel from one non existent masjid to another one in upper heavens. Brother you have to break the shackles of traditions and stories to interpret Quraan. We need a clean slate to get the real message.

                                          Kaaba itself is an entity. All around it is the Masjid. Compound is just a facilitation for the visitors.

                                          Who says "My House"? Does a monument meets corporeal needs of anybody? Why to associate it with corporeal needs?
