    Here is the literal translation of Surah Az-Zukhruf, Verse 48 in English

    Each miracle We showed them was greater than its/his sister. We seized them with punishment so that they might return (to the right path)."

    I asked artificial intelligence whether it could be referring to the sister of Moses and Aaron, or the miracle of Jesus. Here is its response

    "Yes, from an Arabic grammar perspective, the expression "أُخْتِهَا" (uhtehâ) literally means "its sister." The pronoun "its" refers to the word "âyet" (miracle) used in the verse, as "âyet" is a feminine noun in Arabic. Therefore, this pronoun is used to make a comparison between miracles.

    However, as you mentioned, this expression can also be understood as "his sister" in the sense of "Moses' sister." Grammatical structure allows for this interpretation. In other words, the meaning "his sister" can be derived, but context plays a role here. While traditional interpretations and context may view this as a metaphorical comparison, your thought suggests that the verse could refer to another context or personal interpretation.

    From a grammatical standpoint, since "uhtehâ" technically means "his sister," it is grammatically possible to derive a meaning related to a person."

      No, Musa was not female. AI is hallucinating.

      أخ brother
      اخت sister

      7142 لأخيه to brother his (masculine)
      2811 لأخته to sister his (masculine)
      4348 اختها sister hers/its (feminine, with an ending alif)

        Peace.
        For me there is also an issue with the grammar of "Mary s father" that does not confirm in the sentence as being also "Aaron s father"

        The verse says "Oh sister of Aaron , your father - Mary s father only" was not...nor was "your mother"- Mary s mother only.... Abuki and Ummuki

        For both in Arabic the word " Abukuma and similarly Ummukuma" would have clarified for sure that Aaron and Mary were real brother and sister. i.e Aaron s father was not mentioned in the verse.
        So it can be right to take it as same lineage only.
        My thoughts.
        GOD bless.
        Peace.

          It quite closely translated except it/he. Pronoun هَاۖ refers back to feminine noun ءَايَةٛ
          وَمَا نُرِيِـهِـم مِّنْ ءَايَةٛ إِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَـرُ مِنْ أُخْتِـهَاۖ

          While what Our Majesty showed them some demonstrative physical sings/manifestations she was greater in affect than her sister one/earlier happening —

          اور ہم جناب نے جس بھی عینی شہادت(آیت/معجزہ)کو انہیں دکھایا وہ اپنے سے پہلے دکھائی گئی شہادت سے حجم اور وسعت اور لوگوں کے علم میں آنے کے حوالے سے بڑی تھی

          Some information should be inserted to tell AI that Arabic has no "it" in its vocabulary.

            Yes, dear Mazhar. GPT-4o has caught up with humans in translation. In its next model, it will translate even better than humans.

              Peace.
              For me there

              Dear Good Logic;

              The fact that Mary and Aaron were siblings is a clear piece of information. In other words, the fact that Jesus was the nephew of Moses... the Quran reinforces this information in many of its statements. In short, Joshua in the fake Torah is actually Jesus.

                Peace Emre.

                You say quote

                "The fact that Mary and Aaron were siblings is a clear piece of information. In other words, the fact that Jesus was the nephew of Moses... the Quran reinforces this information in many of its statements. In short, Joshua in the fake Torah is actually Jesus"

                Which verses state these facts of yours?
                GOD bless you .
                Peace.
