    Peace be upon you Agentxxx,

    there is a long process of learning by trail and error, before the eygptians managed to achieve the perfection required to build a pyramid. it was indeed a remakable achievement but i dont think they knew any thing about brain? infact they associated all the workings of brain with the heart.

    All I can say is to do the research. Just as one must delve deep into this reading to ge the truth, you must do the same for ancient Kemet(egypt).

    Thier philosophy proves over and over with no doubt that they understood WELL the workings of the brain. For example, all of the faculties on the right deal with unification, those on the left deal with seperation, further, they cross over, just like the cadueces of the modern medical symbolism indicating how the right brain controls the left side and vice versa. Also how there are two speech centers in the left brain, etc.

    So again, do the research.

      Peace be upon you M Mehdi,

      what period of history are you speaking of... because if it has anything to do with the people of Moses

      Who were the people of Moses? You have done what no one else can do and prove Moses literally?

      ... i can say all their learnings of this and that.. the right side and left side.. the east and west... didn't do much... aka they didn't 'know' squat ...

      Thanks for your opinion, I disagree based on knowledge.

      what is the purpose of building so called great pyrimads if they 'enslaved' a whole people... you know? what do you think?

      If you are refering to the biblical story of enslaved "jews", then history does not support that, sorry. But history does support that the greatest thinkers went to Egypt to learn and study. You will have to do more studying in regards to ancient Kemet(the correct name for Egypt).

        Peace be upon you,

        What knowledge? heh..heh... you just disagreed and left it at that... ..

        Thats correct, I did not provide the knowledge to you. This would require a seperate thread, but I have no interest in discussing that with you. I would suggest you take the initiative to find out more on your own. From time to time you will see me give some evidence in my posts. But from your sacrcastic responses, I cant waste my time at this point.

        where is the knowledge? what knowledge? where knowlege? who's knowlege? Do share brotha man if you got it.. right?

        Information that is carved into stone and verifyable up to this very day would constitute a knowing (knowledge). Do your homework.

        please say more... sijjin....

        what Muhammad (pboh) Abraham (pboh) Isa (pboh) etc. etc.. etc.. ? is this what you are saying?

        please let me know..

        I am not sure what your question is, but if you are asking about proof of the listed names, then none can be given. I am not interested in searching for literal proof of them anymore, the guidance is in the message of the stories.

            Peace be upon you,

            (3949) So if harm touched the human he called Us, then if We gave him generously/granted him a blessing/goodness from Us, he said "Surely I got it on knowledge." But it is a test/allurement , and but most of them do not know.

            Here is the verse for you brother. What is being said is that Knowledge (knowing) is from the God, but many think that they figured it out on thier own. When the human needs help, the God answers by giving the human knowledge, as opossed to guesses. SCIENCE as oppossed to blind belief. But when the human gets through the tough times, he thinks that knowledge was discovered through his own strength.

            How does this apply?

              peace idolfree1,
              very interesting discussion between you and mm lol
              you wrote

              All I can say is to do the research. Just as one must delve deep into this reading to ge the truth, you must do the same for ancient Kemet(egypt).
              ok i will do my research about the kemet.

              please comment on the following verses

              552-Those in whose heart is a disease thou seest how eagerly they run about amongst them saying "We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster." Ah! perhaps Allah will give (thee) victory or a decision according to His Will. THEN WILL THEY REPENT OF THE THOUGHTS WHICH THEY SECRETLY HARBORED IN THEIR HEARTS.

              quran says they secretly harbored the thoughts in their heart instead of brain?
              297-Say Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel for HE BRINGS DOWN THE (REVELATION) TO THY HEART by Allah's will a confirmation of what went before and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe.

              The revalations were send down on prophets heart instead of brain?

              1215-So they did take him away and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well and WE PUT INTO HIS HEART (THIS MESSAGE) "Of a surety thou shalt (one day) tell them the truth of this their affair while they know (thee) not."

              again into his heart instead of brain?

              3337-Behold! thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favor "Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife and fear Allah." BUT THOU DIDST HIDE IN THY HEART that which Allah was about to make manifest

              thou didst hide in thy heart instead of brain?
              take care.

                The most imporant point is you must believe in the angels as creatures of physical entities to be a real Muslim as stated in the Quran, this metaphor concept is a deception plan by Satan to flaw our belief

                So the human ability to reason and to question is Satan's work! lol Nice job he's made. Please, be more remindful of God and less of Iblis. Next thing you know, you'll start sounding and thinking like some medieval priest whose speeches were only about Satan and his schemes. People attended churches just to hear about Hell or the Devil. lol

                thanks for your funny and useless comment

                you may raise this issue with Allah as He also talked about Satan a lot in His Quran

                  As far as i know - i checked in arabic as well as in the transliteration - the word angels is not found in the verses 50 (17-19). Also, the proposed interpretation does make sense.

                  Even though i'm with Jaxal when he wonders what's wrong with believing in angels i don't agree with the above statement. BTW, the metaphor concept is also accredited by the quran itself.

                  Elke

                  Fine Elka, let's debate this metaphor concept in a new thread slowely, until we find the truth, I know the whole Quran and Arabic very well and I will be very constructive and informative in the debate, please start the thread and I will take it from there

                  peace

                    Peace be upon you Agentxxx,

                    I think first we need to make sure that we understand the brain is not the same as "mind". The Heart is a symbolism of the will which is the part of you that SEES and DECIDES. It is the part of you that choses direction. Which is interesting since the root word is the same for Qibla(direction/focus). The will/heart is what we call "mind" and is the middle part of the spirit, between the Divine and the Animal.

                    please comment on the following verses

                    552-Those in whose heart is a disease thou seest how eagerly they run about amongst them saying "We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster." Ah! perhaps Allah will give (thee) victory or a decision according to His Will. THEN WILL THEY REPENT OF THE THOUGHTS WHICH THEY SECRETLY HARBORED IN THEIR HEARTS.

                    Those with a diseased heart(will) do not understand that they must CHOOSE, so they rely on luck. So they do not DECIDE for themselves, but just follow.

                    quran says they secretly harbored the thoughts in their heart instead of brain?

                    The brain sends the signals, it is not the same as "mind" which is symbolized as Heart/Will.

                    297-Say Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel for HE BRINGS DOWN THE (REVELATION) TO THY HEART by Allah's will a confirmation of what went before and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe.

                    The revelation comes from the God's will to Mans will(heart), man should CHOOSE based on the God's will, that is the true submission which brings about a peaceful existence.

                    Lets stop here to realize that the heart is doing just that, it is part of the body, yet has submitted to the Gods will.

                    To tie this in with Kemetic Philosophy, they used the heart to symbolize the Will. When a person died, thee was the "weighing of the heart" against the feather, a symbol of DIVINE LAW. The heart was suppossed to be light as a feather, meaning that your DECISIONS/CHOICES were not made based on emotion, but instead followed divine law.

                      Salam AhmedBahgat,

                      Peace bro

                      I'm enjoying reading your posts... if you will please on the matter of the physical and metaphorical... why do you seperate the two?

                      Thanks bro, I actually put a lot of effort and researchs into it may Allah help us to find the truth

                      I can't accept the metaphor concept, it will totally make the Quran and Allah as a joke, also Allah well be deceiving us bad, however I'm a logical person, if anyone can convince me with compelling evidences then why not accepting it

                      but I can not accept something that will make 80% Quran a contradiction

                      I asked Elka to debate it with me slowely using the Quran only and we can shade more light on this complicated issue, but I'm 100% positive that the Quran will refute it, I just need to look at the evidences they have and I will respond back using the Quran

                      you said

                      it can't be a metaphor, and the hands/feet will talk as mentioned in the verse, in fact what will follow will confirm it, it says after that the wrong doers will ask their hands/feets why they beared witness against them?if it is a metaphor then the Quran is not making any sense

                      why doesn't it make sense for your tounge or hands and feet to speak? first of all does not Allah create anything as He Wills? what would not make sense about that? Allah Says Be and It Is...

                      Thank you bro, Allah does what He wants regardless we like it or not, aren't we a mere slaves to Him lol

                      second... at the most base level your body is talking to you all the time.. one just has to listen to it... again at it's most lowest level of speech.. it talks to you when it is sick.. or in pain etc... or even when your are hungry... etc... although this is most basic... it does extend from there... so why would it not make sense for your tounge which is used to make speech.. to speak for 'you' on what you've said.. or your hands which fashion your work.. to speak of what 'you' did... and your feet which take you from one place to another to speak of where 'you' went?

                      I remember bro that I read a great insight regarding this issue by Mohammad Metwali El Sharawi about 15 years ago, it was so great and convincing, I hope I can find it, it will take me ages to find it actually, but again what you said above makes 100% sense to me

                      aren't we dealing with a Mighty God lol

                      or such thoughts and notions of the physical being metaphrical for our own understanding and a Warning that it is all being recorded in Sijjin and Illiyin... metaphor or physical..
                      the physical and metaphorical aught not to be seperated.. the Highest Spiritual Truths come in the form of Stories and Parables...

                      I might accept the above and I agree that some issues in the Quran are metaphor, but the majotity are physical and for real, that is the clear arabic message as I understood for the last 25 years

                      peace be on you...

                      Likewise bro

                        That is a scary statement brother, dont let your heart be wrapped, but let it soften to recieve wisdom. Sticks just dont turn into snakes, and seas dont split at the touch of a stick.

                        I can't accept the metaphor concept, it will totally make the Quran and Allah as a joke, also Allah well be deceiving us bad

                        Are you aware of the verse where the God says It does not shy from citing ANY SIMILITUDE? hmm

                          Peace be upon you Ahmed,

                          Pecae bro

                          I might accept the above and I agree that some issues in the Quran are metaphor, but the majotity are physical and for real, that is the clear arabic message as I understood for the last 25 years

                          Bro sticks do turn into snakes, and the sea was split by the stick, I can actually provide some historical facts regarding the sea, but if the sperm and an egg turn to a sophisticated human, why not the stick turns into snake?

                          lol , regarding the metaphor concept, I know what I'm talking about, I mean the verses where Allah is telling us "Here is a simlititude",

                          this will be one of my argument in the debate, that when it is a similititude, Allah will tell us in advance that it is a simlititude

                          I can't accept the metaphor concept, it will totally make the Quran and Allah as a joke, also Allah well be deceiving us bad

                          Are you aware of the verse where the God says It does not shy from citing ANY SIMILITUDE? hmm

                          of course, but can you please tell me what do you think about that verse, I think, it is in sura 2 as far as I remember

                          Peace be with you

                            peace idolfree1,
                            you wrote

                            The brain sends the signals, it is not the same as "mind" which is symbolized as Heart/Will.

                            what good be mind with out a brain? in olden days they believed in the heart theory because they knew nothing about brain or mind. they associated all the qualities of brain and mind with heart, even today when we know heart is just a pump and has nothing to do with our emotions or intellect we still are quoting heart instead of brain, just like we still use horse powers to define the strength of our machines. old habits die hard )
                            please tell me why does God keeps on using symbolics verses and mushtabihats verses instead of clear verses?
                            take care.

                              Bro sticks do turn into snakes, and the sea was split by the stick

                              You were a WITNESS or are you bearing false witness? (hint guessing is no substitute for the truth)

                              I can actually provide some historical facts regarding the sea

                              Please do so, in fact, duplicate it based on those facts. If this info is proven, then why did not someone come to the aid of the Tsunami victims and the people of New Orleans in U.S.? Why didnt someone with those facts bring thier magic stick and hold back the water?

                              but if the sperm and an egg turn to a sophisticated human, why not the stick turns into snake?

                              Here's a hint, we can WITNESS the sperm and egg everyday, but when have yuo or ANYONE YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN seen a stick turn into a snake?

                              regarding the metaphor concept, I know what I'm talking about, I mean the verses where Allah is telling us "Here is a simlititude",

                              Please let me know when this debate starts, I would like to partcicpate. I have been challenged with that position many times and very ready to respond. But I will wait for the debate so as not to disrupt the current topic.

                              Are you aware of the verse where the God says It does not shy from citing ANY SIMILITUDE?

                              of course, but can you please tell me what do you think about that verse, I think, it is in sura 2 as far as I remember

                              (226) Surely The God does not (feel) shame that (He) gives/strikes an metaphor/similitude , (of) any a mosquito (and) so what (is) above it, so but those who believed, so they know that it (is) the truth from their Lord, and but those who disbelieved, so they say "What did God want/intend with that (as) an metaphor/similitude?" He misguides with it many, and He guides with it many, and He does not misguide with it except the debauchers .

                              It is important to learn the difference between believing and knowing, the God intends for us to move from belief to CERTAINTY/KNOWING. The God uses similitudes so that we can relate, and study until we KNOW. The God has no "shame" in using a metaphor.

                              Basically, everything in life happens the same way on different levels. The ancients said "as above so below", or "on earh as it is in heaven". Just like we have the metaphors for rain giving life to a dead earth, we have revelation giving life to a spiritually dead person, and on and on.

                                The brain sends the signals, it is not the same as "mind" which is symbolized as Heart/Will.

                                what good be mind with out a brain?

                                Nothing , just like what good is a brain without a body, but it does not follow that the body is the same as the brain, likewise, the "mind" is not the same as the brain

                                in olden days they believed in the heart theory because they knew nothing about brain or mind

                                Not true, as I stated they had knowledge even of the two speech centers in the left brain. How do you resolve that?

                                they associated all the qualities of brain and mind with heart
                                ,

                                Depends on who you ask, just like asking questions about Islam. With that said, are you sure? I have been giving evidence that they associate heart with the WILL, which is the consciousness(mind). A dead person has a brain, but not consciousness/mind.

                                even today when we know heart is just a pump and has nothing to do with our emotions or intellect we still are quoting heart instead of brain, just like we still use horse powers to define the strength of our machines. old habits die hard

                                Correct, which is why it is a metaphor/similitude. The heart , is part of the body, but submits to the will of God. Yuo have to think about these "objects" to see why they are used in the symbolism.

                                please tell me why does God keeps on using symbolics verses and mushtabihats verses instead of clear verses?

                                The God does not shy from the metaphor/similitude. It is metaphor that facilitates understanding. Example, you dont know what chocolate is, you never tasted it, how will I help facilitate understanding? Correct, I will have to say it tastes LIKE/SIMILAR TO such and such..

                                DO you see the logic in that?

                                  Peace be upon you Ahmed,

                                  Peace bro

                                  Bro sticks do turn into snakes, and the sea was split by the stick

                                  You were a WITNESS or are you bearing false witness? (hint guessing is no substitute for the truth)

                                  Of course not, but Allah is enough of a witness for me

                                  I'm not guessing, I'm following the clear arabic Quran as told by Allah, I believe you are the one that should be classified as guessing

                                  I can actually provide some historical facts regarding the sea

                                  Please do so, in fact, duplicate it based on those facts. If this info is proven,

                                  I will when I find it, I'm looking for it, possibly many has read it already, not sure

                                  then why did not someone come to the aid of the Tsunami victims and the people of New Orleans in U.S.? Why didnt someone with those facts bring thier magic stick and hold back the water?

                                  because the two incident were totally different, the moses one and the narural disasters, in fact that is what Allah said in His Quran that all nations must be tried with natural disasters, do you know the verse?

                                  but if the sperm and an egg turn to a sophisticated human, why not the stick turns into snake?

                                  Here's a hint, we can WITNESS the sperm and egg everyday, but when have yuo or ANYONE YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN seen a stick turn into a snake?

                                  again you are trying to find any logic to prove a flawed theory that will put Allah in the wrong, you will need a microscope to be able to see the sperm, and without it you will see nothing and you will know nothing about it, so if the humans did not have the science to see the past then you can not write the past off because you did not see it

                                  Logically speaking the past can be seen, think about this

                                  The light lands on an object then reflect in all directions

                                  It travels to your eyes at the speed of light and that is when you will see that object

                                  Now if you have a ship that travels more than the speed of light we can have a ride and speed away until we overtook the image of the incident of the splitting of the sea and then we wait for it until it hits our eyes and we will see, we might need a sort of filtering to filter the zillions of images that can be seen in serial then

                                  got it?

                                  In fact the image of the sun that you see, is 9 minutes earlier, Mars about 20 minutes as far as I remember and so on as you go further

                                  regarding the metaphor concept, I know what I'm talking about, I mean the verses where Allah is telling us "Here is a similitude",

                                  this will be one of my argument in the debate, that when it is a similitude, Allah will tell us in advance that it is a similitude

                                  Please let me know when this debate starts, I would like to partcicpate. I have been challenged with that position many times and very ready to respond. But I will wait for the debate so as not to disrupt the current topic.

                                  sure, I left the ball in Ilka court, if she does not start the debate you are welcome to start it with me, but we need to take it slowly please

                                  Yes and the above verse is a similitude on its own, so Allah will always tell us that this is a similitude unless it is obvious that it is a similitude

                                  But Allah will never deceive or confuse us, he even told us that some of the Quran verses He made deliberately UNCLEAR (Mutashabihat)

                                  Basically, everything in life happens the same way on different levels. The ancients said "as above so below", or "on earth as it is in heaven". Just like we have the metaphors for rain giving life to a dead earth, we have revelation giving life to a spiritually dead person, and on and on.

                                  I?m sorry mate the rain giving life to earth is not a similitude, it is a hard core fact, if we investigate what that means thoroughly

                                  I want to show you an example that people may do anything with the verses of the Quran, while the following have merit, I still can?t believe it is for an average person and the Quran was designed for the average person, the following is the work of an Egyptian profession called Hasab Elnabi, and I would rather keep to myself what is my belief in it as it will not go beyond speculations

                                  ?He regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth; then shall it ascend to Him in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.?

                                  (5)

                                  -> it is obvious from the verse that Allah regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth? He regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth;?, also our affairs ascend to him ? then shall it ascend to Him?, the time for these affairs to ascend to Allah as is described as a day that measures a thousand years of what we count ? in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.?

                                  -> these affairs are in constant descending and ascending, as stated by ?Abu Haian? as well, Al Alousi said the continuity of regulating the affairs from heaven to earth and vice versa is clear from the two present sense verbs ?regulates? and ?ascend? ? ?, and ? ?.

                                  -> Also Al Razi said when Allah says ? in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.? ? ?, is a sign of the continuity of the regulation and ascending of affairs not limited to a one day, rather the one day of a unit of measurement, this is also clear when Allah said ? the measure of? ? ? , the use of the past sense ? ?, is also a sign of continuity of the affairs regulation and ascending
                                  -> Confirming the previous point if using the past sense of the verb ?be? ? ? in Arabic is a common practise in the Arabic language to give an action a sense of continuity, we will need to look at anther verse from the Quran quickly

                                  ? But to Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth And He it is that Encompasseth all things.?

                                  (126)

                                  -> clear as light that the verse says that Allah encompasses all things, while the Arabic verse is using the word ? ? the past sense of ?Be? to stress the continuity of the action of compassing all things ? ? and translates to ? He it is that Encompasseth all things? as explained in the Fateh Al Bary

                                  -> back to the original verse about regulating the affairs, the use of ? the measure of? ? ?, in the word ? the measure of? ? ? means clearly a measure, now the ? ?, the last letter in the word ??, is related to the regulation/ascending of the affairs, NOT and this an important NOT to a day as Mugahid and Abu Haian stated, they added that it can not be comprehendible that the regulation/ascending of the affairs will only take one day rather a continuos action, and the Arabic word ? ? means ?in? before the Arabic word ? ? means ?a day?, indicate that the limited day was only used as a container for the unlimited action of the regulation/ascending of the affairs, like we say the sea water is in a cup, and sure this means that some of the sea water is in the cup not the whole sea water

                                  -> Some scholars thought that the verse 325 is indicating the depth of the universe, but this understanding is wrong because they can not prove their claim yet, and also this understanding will conflict with another verse in the Quran that indicates the spreading universe, let?s have a look at it this verse

                                  ?And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it.?

                                  (47)

                                  -> Also the scholars who suggested that the day mentioned in the verse is a day length of the judgement day, however this understanding is flawed because the verse is clear that it is an earth day of what we count ? in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.? ? ?

                                  -> The two words ?day? and ?year? mentioned in the verse ? in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.?, have been confirmed by the following scholars Ibn Abbas, Al Aloosi, Al Zamkhari, Ibn Kathir, Al Tabari, and Abu Haian, that it is an earth day and an earth year

                                  -> If we look again at what Allah said ??then shall it ascend to Him in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.?, the ?what we count? as Al Zamkhari and Abu Haian confirmed that it means what humans count as years, the Quarn came clear that the 12 months of the year are based on the lunar year, and the lunar month is based on the moon always changing crescent , let?s look at the verse

                                  ?He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for it (The Moon) stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge.?

                                  (5)

                                  -> based on the above verse (105), the following ? in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.? ? ?, can produce a mathematical equation, based on we can calculate the distance that the moon can run in a 1000 lunar year, why we have to use the moon?, because we can use a human, or a horse for example, we need a sign that can be viewed by every one on earth and also moves in consistent and known path, and nothing will fit but the moon that is suppose to be used to calculate the years from the first place
                                  -> we also find that Allah used the Arabic word ? ? to describe the ascending or affairs back to Him in a day measured as a thousand year of what we count, the Arabic word ? ? means ascending but NOT in a straight line, it is actually used as a common word in Arabic to describe a person who have a problem with one leg and can not walk straight, this actually describe exactly the General Theory of Relativity because the theory says that light may bends affected by gravity as it travels between the heavenly objects

                                  -> based on the above we can come up with an equation to calculate the speed of light as follow

                                  The distance that is travelled by Gods regulation and affairs in one earth day = the distance the moon will travel in its orbit in a 1000 year

                                  And because the moon rotates once around earth in a lunar month, then the distance travelled by the moon in 1000 lunar years will be 12000 moon orbits around earth

                                  The above equation can be as follow

                                  The max speed in the heaven and earth x The time of an earth day = 12000 x The length of the moon orbit

                                  The above equation can be as follow

                                  The max speed in the heaven and earth = (12000 x The length of the moon orbit) / The time of an earth day

                                  And again the equation will be

                                  The max speed in the heaven and earth = (12000 x The moon average speed x Lunar month) / The time of an earth day

                                  -> when it comes to calculating the moon day or even any day on any planet including earth, it is a known fact that all scientists calculate it based on the Sidereal System i.e. based on very far stars and not on the sun , the calculation based on the sun is called ?The Synodic System?, the advantage of the Sidereal System that it get rid of the effect of the earth rotation around the sun

                                  -> for the earth for example the day length according to the Synodic System is 24 hours = 86400 Seconds, while under the Sidereal System and by using atomic clocks, the earth day is 23564.0906 = 86164.0905 Seconds

                                  -> for the moon the Synodic month is on average = 29.53059 day, however from the distant stars as a datum and according to the Sidereal System and measured by atomic clocks= 27.321661 day = 65571986 Hours

                                  Please refer to Macmillan Dictionary of Astronomy. The Macmillan Press (1985), for the above mentioned numbers regarding the earth day and moon month under the Sidereal System

                                  -> we can calculate the average speed of the moon as follow

                                  The moon average speed = (2 x PI x Average distance between the earth and moon) / The moon month under the Sidereal System

                                  The moon average speed = ( 2 x 3.1416 x 384264 ) / 65571986 = 3682.07 km/h , and this is the official moon average speed recognised by Nasa

                                  Looking at the next sketch

                                  http//mail.forte.com.au/ahmed/quran/speed.jpg

                                  1. The angle X is the angle that the earth moves around the sun in one Sidereal lunar month , i.e in a time = 27.321661 days

                                  to calculate the angle X, we know the earth rotates 360 degrees around the sun in 365.25636 day, this will lead to

                                  angle X = 27.321661 x 369 / 365,25636 = 26.92848 degrees

                                  1. and because the average speed of the moon recognised by Nasa and = 3682.07 km/h is calculated while on rotating earth around the sun, this average speed is actual more than the real and true average speed of the moon while the moon is rotating on a stationary earth, but because the earth changes direction the average moon speed changes accordingly in direction and the moon will move to point (2) after completing a one Sidereal lunar month, so to need to calculate the moon true and average speed, the angle X must be taken into account, this will lead to

                                  The moon average speed around a stationary earth (S1) = The moon average speed around a rotating earth (S2) x Cosine X

                                  The moon average speed around a stationary earth (S1) = 3682.07 x Cosine 26.92848

                                  The moon average speed around a stationary earth (S1) = 3682.07 x 0.89157

                                  The moon average speed around a stationary earth (S1) = 3282.82315 km/h, which is the moon average speed after we removed the earth rotation around the sun effect

                                  Now we can substitute all the variables in our equation with the calculated figures as follow

                                  The max speed in the heaven and earth = (12000 x The moon average speed x Lunar month) / The time of an earth day using the Sidereal System

                                  The max speed in the heaven and earth = (12000 x 3282.82315 x 65571986) / 86164.0905

                                  The max speed in the heaven and earth = 299792.5 km/h = the exact speed of light as we know it today which is = 299792.458 km/h

                                  ?And say "Praise be to Allah, Who will soon show you His Signs, so that ye shall know them"; and thy Lord is not unmindful of all that ye do.?

                                  Salam brother and thanks for reading

                                    peace idolfree1,

                                    you wrote

                                    Not true, as I stated they had knowledge even of the two speech centers in the left brain. How do you resolve that?

                                    by they you mean the egyptians or does this includes arabs and others of that time?

                                    I have been giving evidence that they associate heart with the WILL, which is the consciousness(mind). A dead person has a brain, but not consciousness/mind.

                                    I have to compare you evidence with what the scholars of the past say on this topic, and non of them have mentioned what you say, it is not surprising because we live in 2005 and we know, what they could not have even imagined. still the first reaction when anyone collapses is to check his/her heart beat or pulse,because no gadget is required to check that and according to what i know, it takes hours for the brain to die even when the person is clinically dead so i am not sure about the consciousness or the subconciousness state of mind during that particular time.

                                    The God does not shy from the metaphor/similitude. It is metaphor that facilitates understanding.

                                    metaphor facilitates not in the understanding but in the interpretation of the verses according to ones desires, it helps to update them according to the scientific discoveries and common knowledge of a given period.

                                    Example,you dont know what chocolate is, you never tasted it, how will I help facilitate understanding? Correct, I will have to say it tastes LIKE/SIMILAR TO such and such..

                                    you are right but what if you had said chocolate looks like an orange and it tast like an apple? i would believe you until i get to see and taste a chocolate, and what then? will i have a right to doubt you or not? I would be justified in thinking that you yourself are not familiar with what chocolate is?
                                    more over when i tell you about my doubts and give you a chocolate so you may see it and eat it and then tell me how it resembles an orange and taste like an apple you say, it was a symbolic defination, you see agent when an orange becomes rotten its skin loses its colour and became brownish and it is this brownish skin i was reffering to, not the whole orange and the apple indeed taste like a chocolate to me???
                                    the proof of the pudding is in its eating.
                                    take care.

                                      peace ahmed,

                                      ?And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it.?

                                      either this one translation is wrong or other dozens of translations of this verse are wrong because they dont say anything about the expanding universe.check it out

                                      51 48. And WE have built the heavens with Our own hands, and, verily, WE have vast powers.

                                      5148-and we built the heavens with Our own hands. We are the lord of immense power.

                                      5147 And the heaven-with our hands have we built it up, and given it expanse;

                                      1. With power and skill did We construct the Firmament for it is We Who create the vastness of space.

                                      2. And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.

                                      3. With the power and skill did We construct the Firmament for
                                        it is We Who create the vastness of Space

                                      bye.

                                        peace ahmed,

                                        Peace bro

                                        ?And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it.?

                                        either this one translation is wrong or other dozens of translations of this verse are wrong because they dont say anything about the expanding universe.check it out

                                        The above translation is fine by Yusuf Ali, the only tricky part in it that the Yad was used Metaphor and it means power or might

                                        51 48. And WE have built the heavens with Our own hands, and, verily, WE have vast powers.

                                        The first part is right literally, I would say the second part is not right because the word "Mosioon" can not apply to say we have more power, but it will make sense that "Mosioon" refers to the creation of the heaven and earth not the power of Allah, because Allah has unlimited power

                                        5148-and we built the heavens with Our own hands. We are the lord of immense power.

                                        same as the last verse

                                        5147 And the heaven-with our hands have we built it up, and given it expanse;

                                        The above is ok

                                        1. With power and skill did We construct the Firmament for it is We Who create the vastness of space.

                                        sort of ok, but Yusuf Ali does some silly mistakes

                                        1. And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.

                                        well, a bit out of touch with the arabic words

                                        1. With the power and skill did We construct the Firmament for
                                          it is We Who create the vastness of Space

                                        sort of ok, but the spreading in the arbic verse meant to be a future or an ongoing event, "La Mo Si Oon"

                                        bye.

                                        cheers

                                          brother i am confused?? ? is the yusaf ali you mentioned different from the yusuf ali i have quoted? and why during the last 100 years or so no scholar or academy translated the second half of 5147 as steadily expanding ? has the arabic or its meaning changed during these time? or scientific discoveries are essential to show us how they should be interpreted?
                                          Quran is a book of ethics and not science.
                                          take care.
