      (

      Surely those who rejected, are/will be called that Allah's dislike is greater than your dislike. When you were invited to the imaan then you rejected.....So this ayat is referring to time when they will be given life after their death in this world.

      (

      They said our Rabb you give us death twice and gave us life twice, So we accept our misdeeds so is there any exit from it.

      Here it seems that second death is their life in hell which is named as death and that is why they are asking for an exit from this situation.

      (There are many times when situation of future life is told in past tense.)

      That is because when you were invited to Allah alone you rejected but when He was associated you believed so now the Command is for Allah the high the great.

      This ayat further give me understanding that their second death is their stay in hell because of their rejection.

      Yes the Hereafter events are mentioned in Future Perfect to emphasize certainty as if it is history.
      In the First Ayah they are reminded what they were habitually doing in their worldly life.

      Certainly those who had disavowed will be reminded of their state?
      "Indeed in the judgment of Allah it was more inappropriate and abominable act than the irritating vile of you people which your selves felt when you were invited towards the Belief, whereupon you kept refuting it".

      Responding to it they state how they were already dealt with for their conduct

      They said, "Our Sustainer Lord, You earlier did cause us death on two occasions when You had given us life twice;
      Thereby, we had confessed our sins
      Thereby, is there any way of getting out?"

      The answer to the fact or subtle complaint of giving twice life and twice death is given in the dependent clause beginning with Demonstrative pronoun

      "This was for the reason that you people refused to accept when Allah was mentioned as "He is the One"
      But if a partner was joined with Him you believed that (duality).
      Therefore, the decision/command (regarding the way out) is for Allah, the Exalted, the Greatest."

        You mean our bodies that we are coupled with as humans were created as follows? Quote

        Our creation was started from inorganic materials which are dead from our perspective. So that dead matrial was changed into life then after lifetime this live person becomes dead and then will be raised again.

        I believe originally, before our first creation we were "nothing", no matter ,no materials, Zilch(Kun Fayakun)
        1967

        1967
        Did the human being forget that we created him Min Kablu, and he was nothing?
        GOD bless you.
        Peace.

          Salam to All,

          So does this mean we exsisted before being born here in this world?

          God bless

            Peace centi50.
            For me it can only mean that we had a life before this one.

            If ,quote Kuntum Amwatan...you used to be dead -- does not say first time or we were alive before that.

            The word "Amwatan" would not have been used , as Mawt only follows a life. You could not die if you were not alive .
            If it means we were materials or mud or other ,then we were not dead!!!
            Also as I pointed out ,there is a clear verse(1967) that says we started out from "NOTHING". This must have been before the first life.
            GOD bless you.
            Peace.

                Peace Mazhar.
                Where did you get "Statues" from the verse

                The verse is talking about calling on "others" like Jesus ,Mohammed, saints, other creations as "gods beside GOD Alone".
                And these, gods like Jesus, Mohammed...etc are dead not alive
                That verse is not talking about the statues but about the humans/other gods they represent for those who idolise them!!!
                GOD bless you..
                Peace

                    Honestly brother mazhar, you will argue even with statues!
                    I get you. The verse is about statues because you say so even if it has nothing to do with statues.
                    I am wasting my time ,it is like talking to statues,

                    Common brother Mazhar,! The Aya is not talking about statues. and you know it. Dead prophets and dead partners with GOD are the subject.
                    Anyway, you may carry on with the argument, like you always do, but please do not get into the grammar, verbs, characteristics, adjectives...of the verse. You will lose me otherwise.
                    Thank you brother.
                    GOD bless you.
                    Peace.

                      Do they not reflect on Quran, had it been from other than Allah they would have found many differences in it.

                      Quran does not contradict itself. It has given us information on how we were evolved. To cite few examples

                      359

                      ......He created him from dust......

                      62

                      He who created you all from mud......

                      712

                      .......You created him from mud

                      1526

                      We created the man from sounding decayed clay

                      and on and on...

                      Now coming to your cited ayat

                      1967

                      Does the insaan not recall that indeed We created him before and he was nothing.

                      Thay ayat does not say he was created out of nothing rather it says he was nothing before creation.

                      Hope I made myself clear.

                        Hope I made myself clear.

                        Very good, very clear.

                        The details of the raw material are explicitly mentioned. I have compiled them, and analysed the words describing them.

                        Human Being - the Blue eyed of created realm

                        Introduction
                        Man is the cause behind the creation of physical realm.

                        In English Frame Index the Creation, Create physical artwork, Create representation, Intentionally create is defined "The Creator creates a new entity, the Created entity, possibly out of Components"; "A Creator creates an artifact that is typically an iconic Representation of an actual or imagined entity or event. The Representation may also be evocative of an idea while not based on resemblance"; A Creator produces a physical object which is to serve as a Representation of an actual or imagined entity or event, the Represented".

                        In Arabic the semantic frame Creation is embedded in Root . Ibn Faris in his famous lexicon stated about this Root

                        That it signifies the act of determining the measures and proportionality of a thing to other things, and then smoothening of the object.

                        Its general perception and meanings as creation are well known. The basic perception is that of the idea and intention of giving existence to the intended object. Thus the thing is created and exists firstly in Abstract Realm before it takes existence in the Physical Realm.

                        The words that stem from this Root are result oriented. The irreducible semantic features of this Root are

                        (1) A living Who is the creator of the object;

                        (2) The will - decision taken by the living to create;

                        (3) The purpose the Creator has in mind to create the object;

                        (4) For what or for whom it is meant;

                        (5) Idea - blue print - determination of measures and proportionality of the thing to other things that creates interrelationships before the object takes existence;

                        (6) The span of time it will continue to exist or live.

                        (7) Assigning a name to the object for its cognition.

                        The first occurrence of the word "creation" is about Man's creation, reflecting the honour he has in the physical realm, though he was made to emerge in physical form when all arrangements commensurate to his status and security were set in place

                          Everything you may have might be good, minus logic. Please study the whole Qur'aan you will find nowhere it is alleged what you say. Just check you will find the names of gods besides Allah and they are hand sculpted idols, statutes.

                          Prepositional Phrase coupled with Possessive Phrase occurs 71 times. Ayahs where it occurs are mentioned here

                          http//haqeeqat.pk/208.MinDooniAllahe.htm Pl study them in context, Allah willing confusion will be over.

                            Peace Novice.
                            Indeed Qoran does not contradict itself. So this here, quote

                            Thay ayat does not say he was created out of nothing rather it says he was nothing before creation.

                            How can this not contradict your ayat about creating the human from Teen,Turab...?
                            Are these materials nothing? Remember "Chaiian" in Arabic means Zero things. So the human was Teen, turab, water...But not zero thing?
                            Also when did this happen(7112)?
                            We may not have existed as humans before, but as souls(with other coupling body) we certainly have. Just like after the resurrection, our souls will be coupled with something else. i.e we will not be humans in this dying body!

                            Questions to ponder
                            What is the original sin? What sin did you yourself commit to be given a trial here as human?
                            Why has GOD created humans to live on earth with a massive universe?
                            What is the meaning of(38 67-74)?
                            Thank you brother.
                            GOD bless you.
                            Peace.

                              Peace Mazhar.
                              I am surprised at your understanding of this
                              ...

                              GOD is giving you an example here. The verse is saying following /idolising others is like following the statues you make of them/things that do not think/ ,and GOD even says elsewhere in Qoran it is like following/idolising nothing. NO benefit from it.
                              GOD bless you.

                                Peace Mazhar.
                                I am surprised at your understanding of this
                                ...

                                GOD is giving you an example here. The verse is saying following /idolising others is like following the statues you make of them/things that do not think/ ,and GOD even says elsewhere in Qoran it is like following/idolising nothing. NO benefit from it.
                                GOD bless you.
                                Peace.

                                  Remember "Chaiian" in Arabic means Zero things.

                                  The root for the noun "Chaiian" is which means "to wish". Please share your Arabic source which says "Chaiian" means Zero thing.

                                  Also when did this happen(7112)?

                                  I guess brother you are referring to 7172 which has been happening all the times in human history and will continue to happen.

                                  We may not have existed as humans before, but as souls(with other coupling body) we certainly have. Just like after the resurrection, our souls will be coupled with something else. i.e we will not be humans in this dying body!

                                  What is the proof for your above statement brother.

                                  Questions to ponder
                                  What is the original sin? What sin did you yourself commit to be given a trial here as human?

                                  There is no concept of original sin in Quran. There is no trial for humans here rather it is an opportunity given to us to give "zaka" to our "Nafs".

                                  Brother lets clear above points for our benefit.

                                    Peace Mazhar.

                                    People make statues to represent other "gods" ,
                                    Exactly the same meaning as the verse before brother! just represents the "gods" they idolise.

                                    You should know this ,Hindus do this with many gods.
                                    GOD bless you.
                                    Peace.

                                      Then you may have also read what they idolize are imaginary names, not real names which you keep mentioning as idols.

                                      They carved stones, gave them a name and declared them as gods besides Allah and started worshiping them.

                                        1-So "Lam Yukun Chaian" means he was not what he wished?
                                        In Arabic it means "He was nothing/zero"
                                        Like "Wa Ma MIn Chaiin" means everything. Surely not wishes?
                                        "Yachau" is to wish. Are you sure you are not mixing up words?

                                        2-Sorry yes(7172). My understanding is different. I will elaborate at the end of the last point.

                                        3-Humans means determined time. The body rots. After the resurrection Earth and the universe will be changed. We will be changed to be accommodated in a different domain. That is the message from Qoran.
                                        Or are you expecting to stay human and repeat the cycle? "Wa Zawajnahum " It means we will be coupled with a new body" it does not mean giving us virgin spouses. There will be no reproduction.

                                        4-So who is this verse(435) addressed to first?
                                        And why are the addressed "musrifeen"?
                                        It is this concept in Qoran I was referring to as "original sin"

                                        Coming back to 7172, in my opinion it refers to the time of 3867 and before we were made humans.. GOD has made this particular covenant with every human .
                                        Also this life is a trial(yabluakum) 672
                                        GOD bless you.
                                        Peace.

                                          Peace Mazhar.
                                          You say, quote
                                          They carved stones, gave them a name and declared them as gods besides Allah and started worshiping them.

                                          So you acknowledge that people make statues to represent their "god". Hence they idolise/follow their god. The statues are there because what they idolise are dead ,not with them.

                                          The stones have no meaning on their own, The verses with "taabudoon" are meant for the "represented gods".
                                          GOD bless you.
                                          Peace.
