    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.

    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.

                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 ?

                  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

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

                    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.

                        This is because you do not even study individual words.

                        171

                        This verb needs two objects. The one to whom something is to be shown and another what is to be shown to his eyes. it relates to elided second object. A prepositional phrase always relates to another entity and that entity must be determined, preferably by reference to Qur'aan itself.

                        Firstly it is mentioned what was to be shown and in the next it is told what was seen by him.

                        and have the same meanings with difference of first person structure and third person structure.

                          Brother are you trying to avoid the question. Its ok if you do not want to admit that you added "The Greatest" in your translation of 171. Here is your translation from your web site

                          171 ........ ........

                          Which Arabic word in 171 you translated as "The Greatest"?

                            Now it seems you are just playing. What hampers you read the words. tells you not something FROM our Ayat. That something is later mentioned as the greatest Ayah.

                            You listened not doubly transitive verb needs two objects; and objects can be elided if mentioned somewhere else about the same concept.

                            You accept not any academic rules.

                            Goodbye.

                              I cannot dare to play with the words of Allah brother.

                              ......to show him from our signs....

                              First object is "HIM"
                              Second object is "OUR SIGNS"

                              Why to ignore two objects in 171 and jump to 5318 to impose second object?

                                You are playing with words unnecessarily while from within you are clear. At this stage I can't believe that you are not aware of Preposition and that is the object of preposition and NOT of verb.

                                The object of a verb is always ACCUSATIVE. A genitive noun is never the object of verb,

                                If you wish not to believe the ascension of the elevated Messenger beyond the extremities of universe, it is ok. But you should not play with words.

                                  The object of a verb is always ACCUSATIVE. A genitive noun is never the object of verb,

                                  If you wish not to believe the ascension of the elevated Messenger beyond the extremities of universe, it is ok. But you should not play with words.

                                  The formula is simple

                                  Verb +who+what

                                    When one goes to the extent of blindness just to remain stuck what nonsense he had thought in the beginning, it is better to stop discussing with him. Ok Mr Novice, I will no more waste my time on you.

                                      Here is grammar rule

                                      1. A transitive verb is a verb who, in addition to its agent, occurs on an objective compliment, for example . An intransitive verb only occurs with an agent, for example . The transitive verb is connected to its objective compliment with preposition or without a preposition but an intransitive verb suffices itself with its agent.

                                      I showed your Quranic verses showing the usage of objects of the verb "" and you started calling my understanding "nonsense" .

                                      What happened to your tasreef ul ayat? Can't you see how the verb "" is used at other places in Quran?

                                      171
                                      ...... .....

                                      ......to show him from our signs....

                                      Is this part of ayat not giving understandable meanings or it is lacking some information?

                                        Again irrelevant stance. Only non transitive verb is made transitive by using preposition "be" NOT transitive verb. Then a verb is either singly transitive needing one object or it is doubly transitive needing two objects to complete the statement. When second object is conveniently understandable, it can be elided.

                                        http//to show him from our signs....

                                        It is ambiguous. What is that which is "from our signs"? Add that and its becomes explicit.

                                          Thank you brother for your reply.

                                          By adding "greatest" to our signs what become expicit?

                                          means some of our signs. His signs are everywhere around us. Let's see what Tasreef ul Ayat shows us in Quran

                                          3020-25

                                          And of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing .

                                          And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

                                          And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge.

                                          And of His signs is your sleep by night and day and your seeking of His bounty. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen.

                                          And of His signs is He shows you the lightening fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that are signs for a people who use reason.

                                          And of His signs is that the heaven and earth remain by His command. Then when He calls you with a call from the earth, immediately you will come forth.

                                          Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every moving creature, and directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.

                                          And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.
                                          And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful.

                                          SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
                                          And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account . And everything We have set out in detail.

                                          These are few ayat from Quran. Do we have to go somewhere to see these signs?
