If everything you gona based on the Quran its fine
haven't you realize this yet?
let me confirm this again, i consider the Quran the only compelling evidence a human can come up with, all these archlogical thingy or whatever you wanna call it means nothing to me, because anything that is man made or caused by humans, you can not gurrantee that it happend 100% beyond any dounbt that it was contaminated by other humans, exactly like the man made hadith
therefore, the belief in Allah and His Quran 100% is the basis of any comment i make, i.e. I assume the ones who read it already submitted to this concrete fact, unless I'm discussing the existance of Allah or the valdity of the Quran, which things i don't discuss any more unless there is a big chllenge in hand and i'm in the mode to do it, my mode depends on many things, the most imprtant one of them is whom I'm discussing it with, in here i hardly know anyone to be honest, and i still consider my parents advice when i was a child "Not to talk openly to strangers"
this advice means in adulthood is this, do not debate strangers unless there are rules and judges lol
as far as it in convencing to us here.
but this is relative or do you think i must come up with something that suits everyone?
you are s scientist, right?, if yes, then i'm sure you know relativity very well
i.e. what is convincing to me may not be convincing to you and vice versa, i huess it is chemical reactions at the end and i'm sure the chemicals reactions in our bodies can't be the same
If not,
do you mean if not convincing?
well we may need another discussion after it but we only discuss how convincing it was
I suggest you ask the people who knows as it is suggested in the Quran.
and whom these people exatly?
you and Ayman, or Ibn Kathir and Al Qurtoby?
ok, let me choose
I chose Ibn Kathir and Al Qurtoby, would that be ok with you?, if yes, then i will see what they said and i will include it in my comment with Allah's will
Why would God command you to ask the people who know if everything as according to you can be answered from the quran?
I don't deny asking others, but the well known and established ones with knowledge, not you and Ayman that i hardly know, no disrepsect though
To begin with, I can assure you that the blackstone is not in the Quran, If you take it as something sacred/holy.
I will see and will include it in my comment with Allah's will
Cheers

Peace bmbmm. You made a very good point doc. If the quran says; ' so ask the people of the reminder if you dont know'.(16;43.) then its obviously asking you to go to people of knowledge/previous books,not just the the quran.(otherwise it would say ask the prophet or ask the people who know the quran?) Dont forget knowledge can be obtained outside the quran as well.
"az zikr/the reminder" is an attribute of the Koran . so "ahluz zikr/people of the reminder" is refering to the people of the Koran , not to the people of the "previous" books .

Salam Brother,
I thought it means to ask people with knowledge. From what you are saying (people of the Quran) we are restricting ourselves and furthermore it does not help much as "what really are people of the Quran"? For instance, if I have something to ask about the details an astronomical event I will ask NASA scientists, as it really does not matter, and I don't think they have to be people of the Quran. Also if its related to genomic analysis of a fly I will consult UC Berkley as they sequenced it. I think we have to move away from the primitive understanding of the Arabic words by the Arabs from the past. Please correct me if I am wrong.
If az zikr is taken as general knowledge (rather than the Quran) it make perfect sense.
I think because of a misunderstanding of this now we have Islamic Scholars (who are these ???). What happen is rather than from a Universal/university concept building, due to the understanding of the word as people of the Quran we have frozen ourselves back in time. As a result useless Islamic madrasas/schools/scholars are produced nowadays. Lets put the word az zikr back to its context.
Please check my thread "The Myth of Islamic Scholarship" )

if u want to ask about the above information , u will ask the appropriate people/scientists . but if u want to ask about the information in context of 1643 , u will ask the people who posses the Remembrance/Reminder(Koran) . who will support their answers with the verses of the Koran .
If az zikr is taken as general knowledge (rather than the Quran) it make perfect sense.
"az zikr"/THE reminder is refering to a SPECEFIC reminder , NOT GENERAL reminder .
Lets put the word az zikr back to its context.
taking "THE reminder" it as GENERAL knowledge would be putting it out of context .
151 A.L.R., these are the signs of the Book, and a clear Quran.
156 And they said "O you upon whom the Reminder has been sent down, you are crazy."
159 Indeed it is We who have sent down the Reminder, and indeed it is We who will preserve it.381 Suaad, and the Quran that contains the Reminder.
in the above verses , we can see that "az zikr" is refering to the Koran .

There is No other way to connect to word of GOD.- This is the Scripture in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous.

Thanks darbari for your post. I totally agree with you. I am looking at zikar in its application. The people of azzikr (reminder) give help from general knowledge (not just from the Quran) when they are approached. However they are the people of the reminder (azzikr) as azzikr is the truth from Allah. Likewise a discovered scientific fact is as much a truth as the azzikr, because it is in conformity with the truth. A competent scientist, a believer of Allah, even though if not aware of the Quran is still a person of azzikr as he/she is get reminded from the truth around him/her.
Generally one who is not agnostic and uphold even one of the following you mentioned from the Quran, or other scriptures, is I consider a person of azzikr.

Azzikr the reminder is only useful if azzikr is put in action/perspective. This is only achieved through universal knowledge, hence we have universities today. The reminder is only possible through universal knowledge and knowledge is not restricted to Quran. The lack of understanding or interpretation of the Quran from the people in the past has caused enough troubles; obvious one is people are reading the quran in mosques, chanting Allahu again and again thinking that this is azzikr! Believe me this is not gona help us as if these people are not people of azzikr; simply they can't help me or you, they do not have knowledge! I feel sorry for some of them, but others have found this as an easy ticket to paradise. And the Mythical Islamic scholars, as well as the Rabbis, Prists, Vicars etc have turned this into their careers.
Who do you think the people of azzikr are?
Peace bro

frankly bro , i dont understand how you derive this understanding . the way i see it , a person cannot be people of THE ZIKR , if he is not aware of the Koran(the zikr) .

Koran is not just any knowledge , it is THE KNOWLEDGE . there is knowledge outside the Koran , but not above the Koran . Koran is the Criterion/Furqan over all knowledge .
obvious one is people are reading the quran in mosques, chanting Allahu again and again thinking that this is azzikr! Believe me this is not gona help us as if these people are not people of azzikr; simply they can't help me or you, they do not have knowledge!

parroting the Koran is not the Zikr . most of them dont understand a word they say .
Who do you think the people of azzikr are?
the people of the Zikr are like(or same as,since zikr and kitab both are attributes of the Koran) the people of the Kitab . u cannot say that the people of THE Book/Written are the scientist because they possess the GENERAL writings of science . the people of the Book are the people of a SPECEFIC Book(Koran) . same goes for people of the Zikr .

Not aware or does not acknowledge? I think even if one is aware/acknowledge the Quran does not make a person/people of az zikr.
Anyway who would you say are the people of azzikr. Could you give me an example?
Cheers

Those who have knowledge of the Koran are the people of the Zikr . as it is the Koran that contains the Zikr (381) .

Thanks bro,
My arabic is not that good and I want to clerify whether its people of the reminder or people of remembrance those that know?
Clearly there is a difference between these, plus most translators of the Quran write ask people who know (who remember things who have knowledge), rather than people of reminder.
Do they not carefully analyse the Quran. If it had been from other than Allaah then surely they would have found many discrepancies therein
I think these are the people or collection of people of remembrance/knowledge, who got the knowlwdge (i.e universal knowledge) to carefully analyse the Quran that the Reminder is advising us to approach. As an academic I do not see people just knowing the Quran without any experties in any particular field (for instance, biochemistry) can be approached for clarification of things the Quran demands research into. Hence, I reject the concept of Muslim or Islamic Scholars. Who are they? If we do have a wider understanding of the reminder the Quran than we should acknowledge that it demands research, so if it demands research, I totally believe that any good researcher can reach and find the truth.

my arabic isnt good either . it is hardly beginner level .

i think both "remembrance" or "reminder" would fit . in both cases , az zikr would refer to the Koran .
the word of "knowledge" is "ILM" , not "ZKR" .
thanks and salam.

Are the above people of azzikr?

but whats the point ?
