    Your interpretation of the Quran offers a unique perspective rather than sticking strictly to historical contexts, unless am wrong in the understanding.

    Interestingly, there have been few scholars in the past who also sought to understand the Quran in a more metaphorical and universal way. One such scholar was GA Pervez who faced significant opposition for his unconventional views, as many traditionalists felt he was altering the original meanings of the verses. Despite this, his work aimed to highlight the timeless truths within the Quranic text, much like your interpretations do. I did share with you one of his works as "What is Islam" in another thread.

    You can refer to his work here below

    https//www.parwez.tv/Abid_Audio_Refrences/Mufhoom_1/by_G_A_parwez/Exposition%20of%20Quran.htm

    Although I refer to G.A. Parwez's understanding from time to time, his translations of certain Quranic chapters that depict apocalyptic scenes are so unique that I have not found any other interpretations quite like his so far.

    Therefore I am quite interested to know your own understanding/translations of chapter 84 and chapter 99 please.

    Thank you

      1081 Verily, We have bestowed you the Abundancy (Quran)
      1082 For you to connect/turn toward your Lord and to master/be proficient
      1053 That your evil disposition, it is the abolition/amputation

      @Fusion
      once guidance reaches me only I can translate and it is not a mixing of words and saying whatever comes to mind, but Allah should guide me with each chapter and its precise meaning.. until then be patient if you can..

        1131 Say! I seek recourse in Lord from the Calamity
        1132 Against spark what it formed/fabricated
        1133 And against spark of cover when it entered
        1134 And against spark of spittle into the knots
        1135 And against spark of resentment when it resented

          1141 Say! I seek recourse in Lord from/of the Commotion,
          1142 of Possession of the Commotion
          1143 of vehement agitation of the Commotion
          1144 Against the confusedness that’s concealed
          1145 Which confuses into the advancement of the Commotion
          1146 Amongst the Jinn and the Men

          Here the first (1141) and last verses(1146) are key and the middle verses detail it..

            1121 Say! He is the Deity of anyone
            1122 The Deity of the one betakes
            1123 Never He rears, and never is He reared
            1124 And never would anyone be comparable to Him.

            My explanation based on Quran verses would be ; Allah claims. He is indeed the Deity of anyone and that matters in fact to those who betake in Him... And further clarifies He is not a kind of a deity who rears anyone nor He himself is reared and like almost all deities people invented have betaken with ascribed the attribution of rearing, thus He could never be comparable with any false deities most on earth has taken even if they claim deity to be one or many .. Attribution shouldn't go wrong... Some would say Deity is one but they ascribe partners to Him...

              1071 Have you seen the one who belies from/of the Direction?
              1072 So, for that is the one who drives away the orphan.
              1073 And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
              1074 So woe to the one who connects.
              1075 who are heedless of their connection.
              1076 The ones who show
              1077 And withhold help

              I would like to add this chapter as well

                991 When the Earth is convulsed with its convulsion
                992 And the Earth is evicted its burdens
                993 And said the man, “What’s it for?”
                994 A day, exposing its reality
                995 Because that your Lord inspired to it
                996 A day dispatching the man into separation to realize their actions/deeds
                997 Thus, whoever performs good of weight of seed will realize it
                998 And, whoever performs evil of weight of seed will realize it

                Earth is carrying loads of burdens on its surface, and on that day it will be sheer Earth void of anything on its surface and flattened/spread out thus it will expose its true nature void of burdens..

                841 When the Sky is split
                842 And permitted to its Lord and fulfilled/justified
                843 And the Earth spread out / extended
                844 And dislodged what was on it and emptied
                845 And permitted to its Lord and fulfilled/justified
                846 O the man! Verily you are toiling towards your Lord a toil so that you will receive it
                847 So as for whom his register given in his right hand
                848 So Immediately, it will be reckoned with a gentle reckoning
                849 And he will return to his people exhilaratingly
                8410 So as for whom his register given behind his back
                8411 So immediately, he will invoke for doom (permanent destruction)
                8412 And he will suffer in madness
                8413 Indeed, he used to be exhilarating amongst his people
                8414 Indeed, he assumed that he would never choke
                8415 Yes! Indeed his Lord used to be a watcher on him
                8416 But Nay! I will divide with the fright
                8417 And the blindfold/darkness and what it enveloped
                8418 And the perplexion when it is loaded
                8419 That you will traverse layer on layer
                8420 So what for them, they do not believe?
                8421 And when the Quran is read to them, they do not acknowledge
                8422 Nay! Those who disbelieved are belying
                8423 And Allah/The Deity knowing what they perceive
                8424 So, give them notice with an afflictive humiliation
                8425 Except those who believed and did the righteousness, for them recompense never prohibited.

                  The adamant elite of Jews, Christians, and Polytheists were desiring stoppage of further Divine communication and were simultaneously propagating negative fabricated conjectures in the hope they will succeed detracting people away from it

                  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِـىٓ ءَايَٟتِنَا لَا يَخْفَوْنَ عَلَيْنَآۗ

                  Realize it; those (scholars, clergy) who keep associating fabricated assertions with the contents of Our Aa'ya'at verbal passages of Divine Discourse, they are not hidden from Our Majesty.

                  أَفَمَن يُلْقَىٰ فِـى ٱلنَّارِ خَيْـرٌ أَم مَّن يَأْتِـىٓ ءَامِنٙا يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٟمَةِۚ

                  Is then the one who is made to confront the Hell-Prison better or the one who comes as calm and tranquil secured person on the Day of Rising?

                  ٱعْمَلُوا۟ مَا شِئْتُـمْۖ

                  O you people who associate fabricated assertions with the verbal passages of Qur’ān, do whatever you wish and decide to do —

                  إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيـرٌ .٤٠

                  Certainly He the Exalted ever keeps watching what acts you people perform.

                  The Form-IV Imperfect indicative, third person plural masculine verb (مصدر-إلْحَادٌ) stems from Root ل ح د that denotes one who deviates, or swerves, from the truth, and introduces into it that which does not belong to it. The object to which they introduce and associate fabricated false conjectural assertions is described by prepositional and possessive phrase فِـىٓ ءَايَٟتِنَا, in which the preposition signifies connectivity (للإلصاقِ) and its object is the verbal passages of the Book of Allah the Exalted, Qur’ān. It is clarified that whatever such pseudo-scholars and intelligentsia with tilted hearts would fabricate, it will never associate or have any correspondence with the Intellectual Property of Allah the Exalted, Grand Qur’ān

                  لَّايَأْتِيهِ ٱلْبَٟطِلُ مِنۢ بَيْـنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِۦۖ

                  The unique feature of the Book (Grand Qur’ān) is that neither whimsical, conjectural falsity fabricated in times before it will associate with its text and nor that fabricated after its revelation, as suggested by "ٱلْغَوْا۟ فِيهِ" (refer 4126) will ever associate in meanings with it —

                  تَنزِيلٚ مِّنْ حَكِيـمٍٛٛ حَـمِيدٛ .٤٢

                  This is because this Book is gradually communicated and delivered by the Infinitely Just Supreme Administrator of the created realms, visible and invisible, the Praiseworthy --.

                  The most dismal and saddening fact for me is that none of the exegeses, whether termed as mothers of exegeses, traditional, or modernist, to which I had access during twenty five years of studying Qur’ān as autodidactic student, I have found pure of such insertions of concocted, conjectural, capricious, whimsical and blatantly false content that has no remote relevance and association with the text of Grand Qur’ān. It was and is continuing practice ever since the serial release of Qur’ān, and that it is a well thought strategy.

                  يَدَآ أَبِـى لَـهَبٛ Bold is the Subject of verb. These are two possessive phrases. The subject of a verb is always a known and specified entity.

                    This is in reply to one's concern... What does "He is Deity of Anyone" mean... Well, it means Allah is Unique / Distinctive and that's what the word 'Ahad' means and not instead ONE.. never Ahad is not ONE.. I don't know why they make this basic error... Since He is Allah of anyone indeed He is unique...I hope I clarified in case you did not get it right..

                    May Allah guide us.. Thank you... Peace..

                      He It is a pronoun.

                      What is هُوَ referring? Is it about referent?

                        1091 O, you the deniers!
                        1092 Not I am believing what you are believing
                        1093 And not you are believers of what I believe
                        1094 And not I am a believer of what you believed
                        1095 And not you are believers of what I believe
                        1096 For you, your direction and, for me a direction

                        Everyone has belief/ibadath..

                          Some of the verses were linked to personal life of Mohammed, but i think were not correctly explained as per traditional narratives, Quran has verses that are either religious ones or they are more of motivating the people to support the leader or prophet which are poltical, not many verses were personal, except when needed a law or transition from older beliefs.

                          About the surah on AbuLahab, The character involved may be referring to some old biblical character, theres an article i read, linking with Abu’l-Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Or it could refer to some character like Lucifer.
