Peace be upon you Nabi and Wakas,
Thank you both for providing those occurences.
I think at this point I am going with "exalted" for "hamd".
I will try to bring it all together in a future post, just wanted to get my position out there for critisism first.
-
Peace idol-free. I would suggest that hamd is synonymous with obedience.
-
Peace be upon you Enquirer,
I would not lean towards that becasue we alreaady have several verses that state "hear and obey".
-
salaam idol-free. What is your opinion on different arabic words meaning similiar concepts,eg sujood and islam.(compliance) meethaq(covenant)and deen.(obligation,bond),mumin(follower of gods law) and muhsin(doer of justice) slight variations but related concepts.
-
Peace be upon you Enquirer,
What is your opinion on different arabic words meaning similiar concepts
I strive no to deal opinion, only verifyable truth. I agree there are words that carry similar meaning, but never same meaning within the God's message, such as jidala(argue) and haaja(debate).
,
eg sujood and islam.(compliance)I take sujood to be compliance/submission(hear and obey), while islam is peacefulness.
meethaq(covenant)and deen.(obligation,bond),
I take meethaq to be more like a promise while deen is Order.
mumin(follower of gods law) and muhsin(doer of justice) slight variations but related concepts.
I agree with your position on these.
-
Peace-idolfree. So it can be possible for different arabic words to mean related concepts(eg mumin and muhsin),in light of this i suggest shukr,hamd and ibadat are all related to service to gods law. (obedience)
Any thoughts. -
Peace be upon you Enquirer,
I respect your position. I dont have any thoughts at this point.
