Could someone please explain following verse to me?
-
That was the reason I gave in brackets the sense of the word dominion.
Thanks, your insights on his work have clarified to me what is his view point, reading with First part given by Huruf
Has he said something about this

Does he take Jundohum groups of villagers and who is Haman.
Thank brother Mazhar. I guess you should read his articles and see what he has researched. I do not remember every word he wrote because I read his article long time ago. Below is the link if you want read it

Novice thanks.
I downloaded his work.
After talking at great length about the Book of Mormon (https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Mormon) he talks about (seems imaginative) a survey about two photographs 3 and 4 calling second which he calls an Arabian as probable Pharaoh.
Interestingly the photograph 4 can not even be considered of a man of Hijaz with that big turban and heavy dress. In peninsula of Arabia one cannot think of putting such heavy turban on head in scorching temperature.
Then he discusses about the origin of name Misr by borrowing hundred percent from a paper already on internet because I found it in my folder on Root Misr, exactly as he has written.
Please reflect on this para of him
//This is why, in the entire text of the Qur?n, we do not come across any mention of the
term Far?awn either before or after Msa?s time. The proof is evident by reading Surah
12 of the Qur?n, which recounts the story of the prophet Ysuf (P). Allah?s book - which
99% of the Muslims have thrown behind their backs - tells us that the title of the ruler of
the place called Mir during Ysuf?s time was al-malik (the king or supreme authority),
while his subordinate was given the title of al-?azeez (meaning ?one who had high status
or power?, or something of the sort). There is no mention of Far?awn anywhere in the
account of Ysuf (P), even though it is presumed that he lived, at most, some 150 years
before Msa ?s time.//Yusuf alahissalam along with his father, mother, brothers and their families are admitted to have settled in Misr. By the passing of time they turned into Bani Israel. And demand from Firaun was to let Bani Israeel go with Musa alahissalam.
He naively forgot or overlooked this speech
It is Chapter 40

Brother Mazhar as I recall his research shows that scene of Misr was southern Arabian Peninsula around Yemen area. Turbans are still worn in that area. Please google Sultan Qaboos and see how he looks in his pictures.

I cannot speak on his behalf. So I dont know if he borrowed from some other research paper.

Does Quran confirms this statement? If not how it is admitted and by whom?

Sorry brother I could not see how it confirms that Prophet Yusuf was in Egypt.
-
And haw many gates were there to enter Egypt and how far one from another?
And he said O my sons! Go not in by one gate; go in by different gates. I can naught avail you as against Allah. Lo! the decision rests with Allah only. In Him do I put my trust, and in Him let all the trusting put their trust. (67)
Salaam

No, it is not to say that. Only the point that Misr is the same place where the Ruler is mentioned by Malik in the days of Yusuf alahissalam and the same Misr is the place where Firaun was mentioned as the Ruler in the days of Musa alahissalm.
So the title of the Ruler is different in the same Misr in two periods of history.
We will later see in Qur'aan that this Misr is the same Misr of today, also called Egypt.

Bible, yes bible ?ber alles.
Never mind, what the Qur'an says, what the Qur'an does not say, the bible says, that is the en dof it.
Egypt is called Misr. Please reproduce here the earliest quotation in Arabic referring to Egypt with such a name and without any great river let alone Nile.Misr in arabic has a meaning and a meaning that is applied more specifically today to Cairo, and only by extension to the whole of Egypt but in fact it refers to Cairo, mainly by people, because main city is called misr or rather masr.
But there was no masr in ancient Egypt.
Bible, bible ?ber alles and don with Qur'an. My God.

There are few assumptions here namely
Misr is the name of a place....whereas Misr is an Arabic word from root with the meaning "a partition between two things.
Firaun is a title and not a name.....background is that pharaoh was the title of rulers of Egypt. Is Firaun=Pharaoh?

No assumptions. In a book which says it is explicitly explicit, it cant leave things for assumptions.
? (
That it is name for any any land with defined boundaries and walled.
Lane Lexicon The area between two things. A partition or a barrier or thing intervening between two things. Limit or boundary between two lands.
In Qur'aan it is stated as a walled locality/city by mentioning entrance/door(s). So it is a place where people lived.
One is particularized by reference to a person referred as Fir'auan.
Both are diptotes showing as if both are of non-Arabic origin.
We will see in Qur'aan who was he and where was he living. It is whether Name or Title that will make little difference in identifying him since subjects of a king know more his title than the personal name.
It will be very poor for us if we cannot identify a person whose name or title is second to one Noun by count of mention in Qur'aan in the word category of Proper Nouns,
There must be something especial and unique to this King, than all the kings who preceded him in history, that in the category of Proper Nouns his Name finds mention maximum number of times (74) only less than the elevated Messenger Musa alahissalam whose name finds mention 136 times.

Thank you Mazhar. I love to learn the truth so waiting to see how you conclude Misr=Egypt.

Thank you Mazhar. I love to learn the truth so waiting to see how you conclude Misr=Egypt.
I will try to restrict strictly to academic rules and principles of studying a book without preconceived notions and influences of the works done earlier on the subject.
No assumptions, no far fetched inferences, no insertion of meanings different than the Lexicons, and no lessening of semantics of a word; e.g. Form-V or Form VIII must not be translated by equating with basic form.
Each word in the original text is a pearl embedded at its proper place - it can't be substituted with another Arabic word to render it in English.
Elisions in source text nor anaphora resolution will be overlooked. Allah the Exalted so willing.I will need your help for scrutiny and insights.
-
In the hope that you will certainly help, let us begin with Fir'aoun (Pharaoh for ease of generally referred word otherwise we restrict to source text name).
This Proper Name finds mention in Grand Qur?n 74 times in 27 Chapters. The person by this Name (or Title, since Kings are known to the majority of their subjects mostly by Title and they are mostly addressed by their honorific title) is mentioned exclusively in the narrative of history period relating to the life of elevated Messenger Musa alahissalam, since his childhood to the death of this King.
Classical Lexicons mentioned its Root as . Lane's Lexicon translated the classical Arabic Lexicons in these words
{He (a man, TA) affected the nature, or disposition, of the . (S, * K, TA.) Cunning; i. e. intelligence, or sagacity; or intelligence mixed with craft and forecast; (S, K, TA and pride, haughtiness, or insolence. (TA.) the surname of El-Weleed Ibn-Mus'ab, king of Egypt (S) or the surname of every king of Egypt (K) or it signifies, (K,) or signifies also, (S,) anyone inordinately proud or corrupt or unbelieving; (S, K insolent and audacious in acts of rebellion or disobedience, or extravagant therein and in wrongdoing] unquoteA three radical Root also denotes as Lane's Lexicon translates it Its primary signification is He overtopped, or surpassed in height or tallness in eminence, or nobility,
We find in Qur'aan his first characteristic exactly matching the concept of rendition of his name in Arabic
We recite unto you the Messenger the narrative of the history relating to Ms and Fir'aoun (Pharaoh), truthfully, for the people who believe.
Indeed Fir'aoun (Pharaoh) had exalted himself in the Land (which land not mentioned here by name or specification);
And he had rendered its society segmented in few classes?
By design he kept causing weakening a group of them;
He used to slaughter their sons and let their women live.
Indeed he was of those who cause distortions and create imbalances/in-equilibrium.
The verbal sentence comprising of Verb Perfect; Third person; Singular; Masculine; ; Subject Pronoun hidden referent to Fir'aoun is the true depiction of his Arabic name/title. Its verbal noun is; - stemming from Root . It leads to the perception of eminence, loftiness, sublimity, elevation, exaltation, and up-rise; such exaltation and grandeur that nothing can deviate from it.
( ة
(َ
Lane Lexicon It (a thing, Msb) was, or became, high, elevated, or lofty; he was, or became, high, or elevated, or exalted, in dignity, or nobilityAnd indeed We had rescued Bani Iesraa'eel from the humiliating torture/anguish?
They were suffering from Fir'aoun (Pharaoh).Indeed he (Fir'aoun/Pharaoh) had made himself the top most of the transgressors - unjust rulers.
It is the judgement of Allah the Exalted. Evaluee about whom judgement is made is Fir'aun. He is placed in the highest negative evaluation that he had become the top most transgressor and unjust ruler. He was warned by Ms about his extreme abnormality
And that you people should not exalt yourselves defiantly against command of Allah the Exalted;
Indeed I have come to you with manifest authority;
And indeed I have already taken refuge with the Sustainer Lord of me and the Sustainer Lord of you people that you could hurl harm to me.
And if you have not yet decided to believe me, thereby, consciously keep yourselves aloof from me."
(He was sent to give message to Fir'aoun and his chieftains, Haman and Qaroon in particular).
Can we believe that merely enslaving a segment of populace of his kingdom and treating them harshly could earn him the condemnation of top transgressor since many would have done this even in recent history?
So there should be something else.

Lexicon has not given details or even period if he was actually a king. Thereby it is not important. Actual one is he mentioned in Qur'an.

But you were to base our discussion on lexicons along with Quran and Arabic grammar and now you wrote it is not important.

I said about that segment in which he quoted name of a person. Not about the meaning of Root. Meanings given in lexicons can be cross verified by its usage in Qur'aan.
Both the works referred in Link are just thoughts in vacuity, no relation with Qur'aan.

There're two sees in Egypt, but el-Bahr means river Nile. Even Blue and White Nile are called by names with baHr. There's also Dayr-ul-Bahri (Monastery of Bahr), which is very far from both sees, but is on Nile. Musa used his stuff to measure river's depth, so they can safely cross it. It was a flood time and flooded Nile drowned pharaoh and his army. Nothing impossible here, just not expected by participants.
Maybe best proof for el-Bahr is Nile is in word يَمّ yemm which is understood as river in relation to pharaoh's drowning. Yemm is used also with Musa in 2039 and 287 when his mother put him in the river. So, is it the same water by the same name, or it's sometimes Nile and on the other occasion it becomes some of 2 sees. Can we choose which one of sees is it?
