    Yes you have explained it but failed to translate.
    NVM

    Alphabets of a language are mentioned in another language by spellings that produce the sound of letters in original language. While translation is of words which have meanings. A word in Arabic is combination of a consonant and vowel. Thereby either go by the universally accepted definition of translation or coin a new one as you said I failed to translate.

      My honest answer would be I do not know what 21 means and why it is there.

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

        Is that a new definition of the masjidulharam?

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

        Brother you said "My House" in your translation in following post of yours.

        Be aware of history; When Our Majesty had marked the site of the House for acknowledgment by Iebra'heim .
        The purpose of this site-marking was told to him "you should not associate with Me any other space-thing.
        And you manage and maintain the cleanliness- sanctity of My House for people who will walk-orbit around it;
        And for those who steadfastly stand and are the performers of kneeling coupled with the trait as performers of prostration."

          Then enlighten what is conveyed in those Ayahs.

          I have said this journey was corporeal.

          Please reply my question. Which Arabic word in 531-18 has the meaning of travel i.e. Isra wal miraj?

            Please reply my question. Which Arabic word in 531-18 has the meaning of travel i.e. Isra wal miraj?

            The event begins by disclosure in 171

            http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/017.%20Al%20Israa/17.1PPP.gif

            The desire of approval of the Infinitely Glorious, Allah the Exalted, is the focus of all effort. He the Exalted had arranged the travel carrying His sincere Allegiant (Muhammad is

            That it leads to the perception of far distance and deportation to far away, or to an utmost limit.
            Lane's Lexicon signified the perception of proceeding to extremities and with reference to drinking water; it conveys meaning of drinking in the manner of exhausting the last drop which reflects extremity in any action. He emphasized its meanings as reaching and attaining the utmost by referring to various words made from it.

            The fact of reaching or attaining the utmost has the built in perception of elevation and altitude. Grand Qur?n, for itself is the best Lexicon. It exposes the perception and meanings of most of its words picturesquely by relationships and contrasts. Basic perception and meanings of the Root are unfolded at the very first place of its occurrence


            What you get from these declarative sentences of Ayah if you disavow the journey?

            But please do indicate who is "His Abd"; you can name anybody.

              You cannot understand a simple question? Let me give you my question once again.

              Which Arabic word in 531-18 has the meaning of travel i.e. Isra wal miraj?

              You are linking 171 with surah najam but what is your proof from Quraan other than the scholars have told so in their tafseer and traditions?

                The purpose of journey is mentioned in both narratives.

                  For journey the core collocates are the words and prepositions signifying place of departure and destination; and also direction. Every prudent man knows it. From where the journey began?

                  That is called hearsay. Quran is a mubeen book. You are quoting tasreef ul ayat so lets see what Quran says about the prophet ascending into skies

                  635

                  I will quote your translation of 635 from your web site

                  Reverting to your sensitivity of grief; if their deliberate refraining is heavy upon you that you can't resist feeling grieved

                  Thereby, if you self acquired the capability enabling that you might find a two-mouth run-through tunnel within the Earth;

                  Or a ladder that leads to be within the Sky;

                  Thereby, come back to them along with some unprecedented demonstrative sign.

                  And if Allah the Exalted had so resolved, He would have indeed consolidated them upon the Al-Huda the Guide (Qur'aan).

                  Having known this, you should not henceforth emotionally be disturbed for them.

                    Has it any relevance to a Real-Life Event?

                    Episodes are mentioned in Frames. You will see an episode explained at other places by repeating key words to give more information about same events.

                    Now you come up with what you think is mentioned in 171 and Chapter 53. Leave aside what I have said.

                      Yes it is telling us a real life event. People were not accepting the message. The prophet was getting restless that why people are not accepting the truth. He was advised by Allah to bring some ayah for them from the sky if he could.

                      Now you come up with what you think is mentioned in 171 and Chapter 53. Leave aside what I have said.

                      Did I claim I have a web site or have done translation of Quraan? I am a student trying to understand Quraan and that is why I have been looking into different translations of "Prudent people" like yourself.

                      I can only give my reasons why a certain translation is not acceptable to me in the light of Quranic evidence. So I have tried to point out issues I have with your translation. Nothing against you but it is my search for the truth.

                        It is good to see things critically. However, evidence should be relevant to an issue. Declarative statements are not compared with episodic text.

                        I have tried to explain that Qur'aan is composed in encyclopedic style. Conceptualization becomes easier by frames,

                        May be you find it helpful for critical study and evaluation of works

                          Sorry brother I dont buy that. This complex terminology and word games have confused people so much that muslim have become a target for hatred and ridicule. Quran is a book of guidance and I do not imagine things or use stories circulating in the market, to get guidance from the Quran. I try my best to stay with the original text. If I cannot comprehend something I admit it that at present I dont understand it. I keep my search on to get the truth.

                            To me the whole story of isra wal miraj make no sense. So many issues if you look at it critically

                            Allah is somewhere and prophet had to go there at the speed of light to get revelation whereas he was getting revelation for 23 years as well while staying on this globe.

                            50 salah per day so one salah about every half an hour.

                            Hagling with Allah to reduce the salah from 50 to 5.

                            After reducing it to 5 the prophet felt shy to go back to get further reduction.

                            The hagling prompted my prophet Moosa who supposedly knew more than the giver and taker of 50 salah gift.

                            The journey started from the house of his widowed cousin, Umm Hani or

                            The journey started from kaaba

                            It happened before hijra or it happened after hijra.

                              isra' means travel that is undertaken at night. That is the meaning of Isra'ill, the people of the pact of the travel starting in the darkness towards the light. Isra'il means that. bani isra?'l are those who maintain that pact or the descendants fo those who had that pact although may not continue abiding by it.

                              All of humanity, ll of existence is meant to travel from darkess to light. That is what eminently did prophet Muhammd and all prophets and believers each one at his own pace and in his stage.

                              Amongs the germanic people, Swiss, austrin germ, there is a ritual in november wth candels where people go out and sing some thing like it is night I am going home, with my light. It is very moving and to me an indication precisely of God's light having been sent to all peoples. The rituals or appearance may differ, but the thrust and the message is the same.

                              Salaam

                                Read again but firstly remove what is stuck in mind for making study critical. What was the purpose of journey; read as is told by Allah and not what inspirations come to mind because of some aversions to stories.

                                Look the purpose told by Allah the Exalted

                                The purpose of ascending him (Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam) was that We show him visually the greatest Existent in the Miscellany of Our Existents-Physical realm.

                                  It is bad manner of discussion. Where did I say all this rubbish. We are talking with reference to statement in Qur'aan.

                                  If you have aversion to the ascension of the Messenger beyond the extremities of the universe you should restrict to what actually is stated in Qur'aan because I am not going out of it. Ok, no use of discussion since passion does not let learn anything. Thanks.

                                    Look the purpose told by Allah the Exalted

                                    http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/017.%20Al%20Israa/17.1PPT.gif

                                    The purpose of ascending him (Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam) was that We show him visually the greatest Existent in the Miscellany of Our Existents-Physical realm.

                                    171

                                    171 has no word for the greatest. It says which means our signs. I guess you are trying to add/impose these meanings to prove the link between 171 and 5318.

                                    Have you given a consideration that is referring to ?

                                      It is bad manner of discussion. Where did I say all this rubbish. We are talking with reference to statement in Qur'aan.

                                      If you have aversion to the ascension of the Messenger beyond the extremities of the universe you should restrict to what actually is stated in Qur'aan because I am not going out of it. Ok, no use of discussion since passion does not let learn anything. Thanks.

                                      Brother why you imagine what I did not write. When did I write that you said it. I started my post with the red part i.e. TO ME THE WHOLE STORY OF ISRA WAL MIRAJ..........

                                      To me the whole story of isra wal miraj make no sense. So many issues if you look at it critically

                                      Allah is somewhere and prophet had to go there at the speed of light to get revelation whereas he was getting revelation for 23 years as well while staying on this globe.

                                      50 salah per day so one salah about every half an hour.

                                      Hagling with Allah to reduce the salah from 50 to 5.

                                      After reducing it to 5 the prophet felt shy to go back to get further reduction.

                                      The hagling prompted my prophet Moosa who supposedly knew more than the giver and taker of 50 salah gift.

                                      The journey started from the house of his widowed cousin, Umm Hani or

                                      The journey started from kaaba

                                      It happened before hijra or it happened after hijra.

                                      Discussion must be to find out the truth and not to win or lose.

                                        171

                                        171 has no word for the greatest. It says which means our signs. I guess you are trying to add/impose these meanings to prove the link between 171 and 5318.

                                        Have you given a consideration that is referring to ?

                                        It is a prepositional phrase coupled with two possessive phrases; and the pronoun is referent to the referred Abd. is the object of verb perfect single transitive and the subject is Abd. This object is elided in the 171 as second object of verb there.

                                        This is explained at length in the link.

                                          Brother you did not explain the following

                                          Look the purpose told by Allah the Exalted
