    Peace

    here is another cpuple of verses

    ?it is an honored Quran, ?

    (77)

    -> Obviously 5677 clearly says ?it is an honored Quran?, surely the word Quran represent THE WHOLE BOOK and is its name

    This is a good one

    ?So when you read the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaitan, ?

    (9

    -> Hence under the flawed understanding that Quran means reading and is not a name, the info in the verse should be rendered to ?So when you read the reading, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaitan,,

    "Read the Reading" sounds a bit funny to me, and surely confusing, as which reading exactly that I should seek refuge with Allah from the shaitan?

    I bet the answer will be the name of the book ?Al Quran?, well Allah answed it Himself by calling his book ?Al Quran? in the same verse

    Peace

      about 63 contexts in the Quran where it referes to itself as Quran

      Even though I think we've reached that point quite some time ago, it's just about crunch time right now.

      For what you just stated I would like only ONE among these 63 contexts where the Koran is mentioning these things together

      1. The title "qur'?n"
      2. the title clearly refering to the whole book in question.

      Can you do that, can you post such a verse here?

      271 is clearly using the Quran as a noun, hence it is a name to it

      "The tyres of the Car"
      "The verses of the Quran"
      the car is named car
      the Quran is named Quran

      also bro in arabic we can add an alif to a name to express another context
      like Ahmada
      or Al Ahamdayai, sure is a name of a sect
      or what do you think?

      There's no article to "ay?t" in 271, so "the verses of the quran" doesn't make any sense in this context.
      Do you think car is the name of a car? How about 465, "day of the judgement". The day is named judgement? I don't think so.

      Once again I'm asking you to establish your claim of qur'?n being a proper name, and in the same context where it's mentioned - show how this refers to the 114 chapter book. Can you do that?

        what do you mean by there is no article to ayah 271?

        and why the verses of the Quran does not make any sense to you, can you elaborate?

        for example the followings make sense to me

        imagine I have a Book named "Ali Baba"

        would this does not make sense to you?

        The final chaphter of "Ali Baba" book is great

        Do you think car is the name of a car? How about 465, "day of the judgement". The day is named judgement? I don't think so.

        well car is a name of an object, exactly like the names Allah taught Adam when He created Him, remember those verses about adam?

        a car as name of an object will represent a book as a name of an object and it is also given a name by Allah called "Quran" becaise he consistantly refered to it as a whole book as a such,

        Once again I'm asking you to establish your claim of qur'?n being a proper name, and in the same context where it's mentioned - show how this refers to the 114 chapter book. Can you do that?

        There is no verse in the Quran that says "The Quran name is the Quran" so you may live with what you concluded and surley we will all meet on that day named "Judgment day", and Allah will be the best Judge in what we differ

          Ahmad,

          5677 says ?it is indeed a generous qur??n? continuing with 78 saying ??in a well preserved book?. If the ?qur??n? in verse 77 refers to the whole book, what book is it (verse 7 included in?

          Next thing, you say that God calls the Koran ?al?qur??n? in the verse 1698. Not correct, obviously. First of all, God doesn?t write books. And second of all, it does not what so ever clearly point out the title of the book to be ?al?qur??n? as the same thing as it is speaking of. I wish I could say nice try, but that wasn?t even any near.

            mate, please you have no poinyt here, the verses are very accurate

            Allah is telling us that this Quran is generous of a type of a book that is well preserved, what is wrong with that bro?

            why you are trying to make it so complicated man?, it is that simple I can assure you

            Next thing, you say that God calls the Koran ?al?qur??n? in the verse 1698. Not correct, obviously. First of all, God doesn?t write books.

            how do you know that the He does not? also did I say God write books?, I didn't because I don't know and I don't say things about God that I don't know and that is what the Quran adviced us to watch out for

            And second of all, it does not what so ever clearly point out the title of the book to be ?al?qur??n? as the same thing as it is speaking of. I wish I could say nice try, but that wasn?t even any near.

            well, if you hear someone calling me Ahmed, would that be enough that it is my name

            also I'm not trying to convince you nor convince others, I'm documenting my replys to the conjecture about Islam and the Quran that has no merit and values whatsoever and only shows how confused many muslims are

            peace

              It is pretty obvious if you're that good at arabic grammar as you say you are. There's no AL preceding "?y?t" in 271. This is why the translation "THE verses of the qur'?n" doesn't make any sense.

              This is the tricky part for your claim...you'd gonna have to show that "qu'?n" aims at one whole book, the one with 114 chapters. Moreover, you're gonna have to prove that qur'?n is a proper name and cannot be a noun. Once you show me where the Koran's "qur'?n" specifically directs towards the very book we're talking about, that's when you mean business!

                Ahmad,

                Once again, you say that ?qur??n? is referring to the whole book. Why is it then that 5678 says it fits inside a well preserved book? I thought they were the same? Is the book?s titled included inside itself?

                And please?when you have the time, post the verse where ?qur??n? is pointed out as a proper name, as the title of the whole book. A verse or something wherein there?s no doubt about it cannot be a noun. Ok?

                If someone adresses you as Ahmad, it makes sense that Ahmad indeed is your name. However, the book traditionally known as the Koran have never been addressed as ?al?qur?n?.

                  quote="AhmedBahgat"]what do you mean by there is no article to ayah 271?

                  haha, my calim?

                  Well, it is at least the claim of almost 90% of the whole world muslim or not, so you should retreat that silly claim about "My Claim"

                  (30)

                  So would you reckon this metaphor about the prophet talking on the judgment day that "his people treated this Quran as a forsaken thing" is talking about the whole 114 suras or not?

                  your answer will be just for the records bro

                  peace

                    Ahmad,

                    If you would know Arabic that well and you want me to step off my high horses, I suggest you do some research on the difference between ?Al ?y?t? and just ??y?t?. These two translate different from each other when being translated to English (being the language that we up our conversation with).

                    And either we translate it with ?the verses? or simply ?verses?, it still does not point out the title of the book being that very word, ?qur??n?.

                    As far as the majority of the Islamic world, I care less for them. I don?t approve with that religion what so ever. I don?t agree with their interpretations of the Koran. As simple as that.
                    The reason why I called it ?your? claim is that I think you are old enough to stand up for your own opinions.

                    Just show me this occurrence of the word qur??n where it clearly aims at the whole book. I really don?t care about laughing cousins nor billions of others. I want you to show it to me, can you do that?

                    As for the 2530, it seems it?s pretty useless translating it to you since you stick to the majority?s translation. Anyway, in case you?d change your mind, here?s a tease? The nature of this ?qur??n? is not established to be a book of 114 chapters in this verse. Can you prove me I?m wrong?

                      Hi el aziz,

                      I am quite not sure about what proof u r looking for.

                      Are u looking for a statement from Quran that says, ''Quran is the name of this book constituing 114 chapters thats been/will be revealed''?

                      Peace!

                        just one comment bro

                        I'm not proving anyone wrong, I'm only proving the right I know

                        for 2530 what other meaning you can come up with here?

                        this is the verse that is used by the Quran Alone sect and they refer to it strongly

                        again there is a difference between translations and meanings, and because we should only hold the arabic text against the Quran I guess you mean you have different arabic meaning to the arabic meaning I have concerning 2530?

                        english translations or any translated language for that matter can not be admissable against the arabic quran, make sense bro?

                          It seems pretty much of an overkill to have it spelled out to that extent but yes, that is what no one has been able to give any logical explanation to this far.

                            Ahmad,

                            By the Quran Alone Sect, I assume you mean Rashad Khalifas sect?
                            Myself, I think what they?re promoting is nothing but mumbo jumbo, so if you don?t have anything you?d like to add from their perspective, I?d say we leave them with their ideas, shall we?

                            My translation at first sight would read something like ?and the messenger says ?my Lord, my people has forsaken this call/proclamation??. There?s nothing really implying that it would refer to the book where this scenario is being painted.

                              I was not really targeting them but I say many of the new wave of Quran alone ones, forget the sect word

                              Myself, I think what they?re promoting is nothing but mumbo jumbo, so if you don?t have anything you?d like to add from their perspective, I?d say we leave them with their ideas, shall we?

                              finally we agreed on somethin

                              My translation at first sight would read something like ?and the messenger says ?my Lord, my people has forsaken this call/proclamation??. There?s nothing really implying that it would refer to the book where this scenario is being painted.

                              ok thanks

                                MQ But it's doesn't call itself 'al-kitaab'/the book. It calls itself 'tafseel al-kitaab'/the detailing/parsing of al-kitaab (10/37).

                                Kyle The details make up the Whole, we cannot proclaim the whole at once.

                                Huh ? I dont understand. Al-quraan is said to be the detailing of al-kitaab. It gives you the details of the system. So when you engage with the the system, you look at al-quraan and will detail for you what's going on.

                                Kyle To tell someone that smoking is incorrect is proclaiming the book. To tell someone to feed the poor is proclaiming the book. But these are details of the WHOLE system.

                                Ok, I think the root of our lack of agreement is our linguistic strategies. I would never translate the word 'al-quraan' and completely decontextualise the translated word. Tafseel means 'to detail' but 'to detail' in the way al-quraan defines it, not oxford dictionary.

                                Anyway, I think I see the root of interpretations and I disagree with it. Thanks for the explanation and peace.

                                  Hi el-aziz,

                                  Hi el aziz,
                                  I am quite not sure about what proof u r looking for.

                                  Well, alright. Let me understand.
                                  Do u believe it's a book comprising verses/words from God?
                                  Lets forget, for now, the name of the book.

                                  Peace!

                                    Hey there PM,

                                    Hi el-aziz,

                                    Well, alright. Let me understand.
                                    Do u believe it's a book comprising verses/words from God?
                                    Lets forget, for now, the name of the book.

                                    Peace!

                                    As far as I?m concerned, the epithet of ?God?s words? is all semantic. There?s no book that can be exclusively one of God?s. I?m not being ironic as I say that Donald Duck comic strips contain as much of God?s words as the Koran does. Although, the Koran contains a lot of things that are more of interest to the philosopher.
                                    God?s words stretches far beyond what words of ink and paper can ever speak of.

                                    Shlama!

                                      Peace be upon you all,

                                      Lets start here, when was the book called "Koran" completed as a whole 114 chapter book? When did people become responsible for the statements of each and every verse?

                                        Don't know. I'm not going into history to find out, either. I start with myself, I read al-quraan here and now.

                                        When did people become responsible for the statements of each and every verse

                                        I didn't understand the question. Mind rephrasing?

                                          Hi el-aziz,

                                          Do u believe it's a book comprising verses/words from God?
                                          Lets forget, for now, the name of the book.

                                          As far as I?m concerned, the epithet of ?God?s words? is all semantic.
                                          There?s no book that can be exclusively one of God?s.

                                          OK, lets get to basics.
                                          Muslims believe that the '114 chaptered book'(known as Qur'an) is the literal word of God in Arabic and the culmination of God's revelation to mankind, revealed to Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years through the angel Jibril (Gabriel).

                                          Do u believe in this?

                                          I?m not being ironic as I say that Donald Duck comic strips contain as much of God?s words as the Koran does. Although, the Koran contains a lot of things that are more of interest to the philosopher.

                                          Donal Duck Comic strips are man made. Though man can be inspired by God.
                                          Quran(the book, we are discussing) is believed to be God's very own words........and not man's. Do u believe ?

                                          God?s words stretches far beyond what words of ink and paper can ever speak of.

                                          I agree. But do u believe God revealed a message ( specific verses) to Prophet Mohammed through Angel Gabriel?

                                          Peace!
