    Peace Ahmed,

    Man, so you believe that only people who speaks Arabic will understand Koran? Then, I have nothing to say..Frankly, you have just given an answer why there are so many "conflicts" in those Arabian countries...Probably because, they think they know Koran because they speak Arabic..that made many of them to be so arrogant and failed to follow the right path...

    Excuse me bro youe arguments are weak and ridiculous, I did not say what you are alleging that I believe

    I'm discussing an issue with another brother regarding the unmatchable Arabic Quran, I NEVER DISCUSSED UNDERSTANDING IT

    did you read my posts or you are one of thoose disturbers?

    Anyway, you have chosen to be and happy to be at the place you are now at..So, its pointless for me to argue with someone who choose not to "change" even when they realized they are making a mistake...

    That is right I don't like to argue with anyone, I only present known facts that were quilafied using my brian and sure well supported, i didn't make a god for myself as many are doing

    and I like the smart way you put that I'm making a mistake and you are not, thanks for the laugh lol would that be a biased comment to your self?

    well, from my side I will leave it at 5050 chance lol

    P/s Nothing much to say if some people choose let "Iblis" control themselves...

    what was that? shock

      Peace Ahmed,

      4523 Have you seen the one who took his ego as his god, and God led him astray, despite his knowledge, and He sealed his hearing and his heart, and He made a veil on his eyes? Who then can guide him after God? Will you not remember?

      I guess, you need to understand the verse above more than me...

      Anyway,

      4623 He said "The knowledge of it is with God; and I only convey to you what I was sent with. However, I see that you are a people who are ignorant."

      Try to understand something from the verse above...

        wrong translation sorry, i posted the right one, "Hawah" does not mean ego, this is wrong 100%

        I guess for a native and fluent arabic speaker the odds is likely, the arabuc verses be more understood than those who don't speak arabic and can only resort to misleading translations

        see, I don't need the above flawed translation, neither I need the right translation, i only read the Quran in Arabic because I'm blessed to have a native arabic tongue

        see I will be so dumb that I speak arabic and I read the Quran in another language lol

        Anyway,

        4623 He said "The knowledge of it is with God; and I only convey to you what I was sent with. However, I see that you are a people who are ignorant."

        Try to understand something from the verse above...

        I do understand it well, why on earth you think I don't understand it?, this is bizzare, do you know me mister?, you just joined today for god sake lol

        how many times you read the Quran in arabic throrougly, do you mind if I ask

            cool bro, i'm about to got to bed

            Yep I'm fluent in arabic including its tough grammar

            I'm very good in english and speak it for the last 17 years, very bad in spelling and I don't mislead others by using ms word lol , but that is good enough for me to know that "Howa" means "Desire" clear as light

            good night

              oh sorry forgot the vain word, you can search google for another english meaning

              I only translate Arabic to English, or Arabic to Arabic

              not English to Arabic neither English to English

                without the koran , i couldnt see the right path . my eyes didnt tell me the difference between right and wrong . i had no criterion to distinguish .

                That means there's something wrong with your perception. God gave us the mind and the eye sight and the heart to summon things up with common divine sense.
                So how is it that one or more of these things aren't functioning properly? Why didn't God give you such a functioning perception but made you dependent on a book and not your own soul?

                  Ahmed,

                  I see where you're heading but I haven't yet figured out what cannot be reproduced similar to the Koran.

                  The Koran is written in a grammatically not too interesting manner. The grammar is not too difficult and it is clear, but still pretty poor. It is what I would call the end of ancient and primitive Semitic languages. Modern compared to its ancestors, but still not too complex or refined. This is the Quraishi Arabic of the Koran.

                  Since no one really doesn?t speak the language any longer (and the assertion that there was no distinctive difference between street and literal language, cannot really be confirmed, can it?) it is obviously more difficult for someone to create a language similar too it. But it can still be made.
                  Let?s just take Sanskrit as an example. An extremely old and complex language that I for myself is fully able to write just like the old Hindu writers did thousands of years ago. So what would be different about the Quraishi Arabic of the Koran? I can?t figure it out!

                  If someone about 1400, 1300 years ago perceived this ?challenge? the same way you do and did come up with ?something similar to it?, we can?t really know, can we?

                    Peace be upon you Zsrin,

                    Thank you for bringing more reason into this discussion, very well stated reasoning.

                    Ahmed, you keep speaking of this "challenge". The "challenge" is to bring a structure(surah) or sign(ayat) like the Universe(Kitaab).

                    Yoo can never do it.

                    It has nothing to do with writing a book, that would be subjective. When you understand that it is Universal Law that we are dealing with, what can you bring that is not part of the Universe already? Can you do it?

                    Stop idolizing a book and stop idolizing a language, become idolfree

                        God gave us the book for that function . to serve as a Criterion . whats wrong with ? why dont u follow it , instead of asking for a "functioning perception" for a criterion ?

                              God did not give us a book for the function of seeing, no. He gave us our own perception with eye sight, intellect and our hearts. A book is not a part of your own perception.

                              The Koran says that it is your very own sight and perception that you are responsible of and that is constantly "...aquestioned about it (1736)". It does not say "...inna l-basra, wa l-f?'?da wa l-kutub k?na `anhu mas'?lan". Your own heart is your responsibility, so don't let things you can't know for certain about misguide you. And by that I'm not tallking about the Koran, but your way of looking at it.

                                but that is good enough for me to know that "Howa" means "Desire" clear as light

                                  Peace,

                                  Anyway, Ahmed... Are u avoiding from answering my question?

                                  "Vain Desire" and Ego, whats the different?? As my understanding...

                                  vain
                                  adj 1 characteristic of false pride; having an exaggerated sense
                                  of self-importance; "a conceited fool"; "an attitude
                                  of self-conceited arrogance"; "an egotistical
                                  disregard of others"; "so swollen by victory that he
                                  was unfit for normal duty"; "growing ever more
                                  swollen-headed and arbitrary"; "vain about her
                                  clothes"

                                  desire
                                  n 1 the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state
                                  2 an inclination to want things; "a man of many desires"
                                  3 something that is desired
                                  v 1 feel or have a desire for; want strongly; "I want to go home
                                  now; "I want my own room"
                                  2 expect with desire; "I trust you will behave better from now
                                  on"; "I hope she understands that she cannot expect a
                                  raise"
                                  3 express a desire for

                                  ego
                                  n 1 an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others

                                  2 your consciousness of your own identity
                                  3 (psychoanalysis) the conscious mind

                                  So can we say "vain desire" mean something like "the feeling to have something that has the sense of self-importance"

                                  So, whats the different between that and being "egoistic"???

                                  Egoistic \Ego*is"tic\, Egoistical \Egois"tical, a.
                                  Pertaining to egoism; imbued with egoism or excessive
                                  thoughts of self; self-loving.

                                  So, is my understanding wrong??

                                    Anyway, Ahmed... Are u avoiding from answering my question?

                                    Peace

                                    no I'm not avoiding it, i'm not interested to answer it, that's all

                                    "Vain Desire" and Ego, whats the different?? As my understanding...

                                    vain
                                    adj 1 characteristic of false pride; having an exaggerated sense
                                    of self-importance; "a conceited fool"; "an attitude
                                    of self-conceited arrogance"; "an egotistical
                                    disregard of others"; "so swollen by victory that he
                                    was unfit for normal duty"; "growing ever more
                                    swollen-headed and arbitrary"; "vain about her
                                    clothes"

                                    desire
                                    n 1 the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state
                                    2 an inclination to want things; "a man of many desires"
                                    3 something that is desired
                                    v 1 feel or have a desire for; want strongly; "I want to go home
                                    now; "I want my own room"
                                    2 expect with desire; "I trust you will behave better from now
                                    on"; "I hope she understands that she cannot expect a
                                    raise"
                                    3 express a desire for

                                    ego
                                    n 1 an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others

                                    2 your consciousness of your own identity
                                    3 (psychoanalysis) the conscious mind

                                    good, but I don't need it, I speak fluent Arabic and I read the Quran in Arabic

                                    o can we say "vain desire" mean something like "the feeling to have something that has the sense of self-importance"

                                    I don't know, but what i know that "Hawa" means 100% "desire"

                                    So, whats the different between that and being "egoistic"???

                                    not ssure, but what that has to do with "Hawa"?

                                    Egoistic \Ego*is"tic\, Egoistical \Egois"tical, a.
                                    Pertaining to egoism; imbued with egoism or excessive
                                    thoughts of self; self-loving.

                                    thanks again, but i'm not planning to be fluent in English, it is impossible due to learning it at old age so i'm not going to waste my time lol

                                    So, is my understanding wrong??

                                    I'm not sure really, I'm not knowledgable with the english language yet to know how one word can have many meanings, what I'm sure about that "Hawa" means "Desire", for example, "Ana Ahwa to fly all the time" means "I desire to fly all the time", "Ana Ahwa my wife" means "I desire my wife", not sure where ego can fit in here?

                                      Ahmed,

                                      I guess you're too proud of your "Arabic" that you failed to understand my question, I asked you what do you understand with "vain desire"..

                                      you translated the verse as

                                      "Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own VAIN DESIRE? Allah has, knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart (and understanding), and put a cover on his sight. Who, then, will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn Guidance)? Will ye not then receive admonition? "

                                      I just want to know what you understand with "vain desire"????? Can I it be "ego" instead of "vain desire"?

                                      Well, for me, whether its "ego", "vain desire", or "feeling of having something that has the sense of self-importance", is not important as long as I understand the meaning..In Mandarin, a single "character" can explain something that takes 10 words to explain in English, but yet, it is all the same thing when you understand the meaning....
                                      Anyway, for me, desire springs from the ego and love of self...

                                        but that is good enough for me to know that "Howa" means "Desire" clear as light

                                        "...ashr?na ?man...y? kit?b al haww?
                                        wa lem azal f? ec-cafhat el ?l?"

                                        (/nizar qabbani)

                                        😉

                                        sure he was documenting his desires, possibly a love to a woman, or any thing elase that he desired and wanted to be documented so he spent 20 years documenting the desires

                                        Peace bro

                                          ..what I'm sure about that "Hawa" means "Desire", for example, "Ana Ahwa to fly all the time" means "I desire to fly all the time", "Ana Ahwa my wife" means "I desire my wife", not sure where ego can fit in here?

                                          Simple, ask yourself, whats the meaning of the word "desire" in the first place and what made us to have the feeling of "desire"...knowing the meaning is not enough, understanding the meaning is more important..
