    someone wrote
    I will give others examples unless if the god wills.

    aalimeen is the plural of alim...aalameen is not the plural of alim!

    how did u change the word aalameen to aalimeen? i mean what makes u change the diacritical marks? or do u consider aalameen as aalameen and not aalimeen!

    peace -)

      salaam thegod all

      what kGB said is correct

      Aleem - Knowledgeable

      alAAalameena - Worlds / Universe

      examples for "Aleem" are

      402 The revelation of the Scripture is from God, the Noble, the Knowledgeable.

      402 Tanzeelu alkitabi mina AllahialAAazeezi alAAaleemi

      1255 He said "Make me keeper over the granaries of the land, for I know how to keep records and I am knowledgeable."

      1255 Qala ijAAalnee AAala khaza-inial-ardi innee hafeethun AAaleemun

      and an example for "alAAalameena" is

      397 In it are clear signs the place of Abraham. And whoever enters it will be secure. And God is owed from mankind to make Pilgrimage to the Sanctuary, whoever can make a path to it. And whoever rejects, then God has no need of the worlds.

      397 Feehi ayatun bayyinatunmaqamu ibraheema waman dakhalahu kana aminanwalillahi AAala alnnasi hijjualbayti mani istataAAa ilayhi sabeelan waman kafarafa-inna Allaha ghaniyyun AAani alAAalameena

      I'm 100% sure as I used these words tens of tousands times in my everyday life.

      But still the discussion between you and idolfree is interesting. ;D
      A discussion between a true believer (you) and a hell creature.
      A discussion between a wiseman (you) and a hypocrite who hates Mohammad.
      A discussion between an Aleem and a Zaleem D

      peace

            Peace all,

            I'mp not "the father of the grammar sibawayh" but I can see the logic inside the sentences in the Reading.

            nisa-i almu/mineena = the wives of the believers (3359)

            In 3359 almu/mineena has the same statute regarding nisa-i than al-AAalameen in 342

            I hope you see the difference. almu/mineena speeks of the man believers, which makes wrong the translation of al3almeen as those who know (plural masculine) in 342, that doesn't make sense

            Praise to the God, the creterion is inside the Reading.

              yes...he is right...aleem means knowledgeable! -)

              aalimeen is derived from 'ilm'...and is the plural of aleem!

              aalameen is derived from 'ilm'....but is not the plural of aleem!

              so giving examples of 'aleem' when i am asking for aalameen does not help! -)

                            Salam Fellow Believers

                            Alhamdulillah , what more Can I say about The Knleledge and Wisdom of the Believers in this Forum ? To the Learned Brothers and sisters who contributed to this Topic .........My heartfelt Thanks to you all and May Allah Bless you and Increase you in Knoledge and Wisdom .

                            Certainly , there have been some major 'Surprises' that came out of this Topic For me anyway , that I have never encountered before and I'd like to share these 'Surprises' with fellow Believers in this Forum . These are the 2 Major ones
                            1). That , GOD Apparently,Created an Omni-Scient Being among the Human ???. Or is it just an Empty Claim to Know just about everything ? Yet failed to answer the 5 Questions asked in Respect of Verification ? I hope to GOD that We won't be Required to Have a PhD in Every Discipline in Order to be Muslims/ Believers .

                            2). Totally Shocked That , Some Brothers have authorised Themselves To Alter GOD's Word from The Qur?n to suit Themselves . e.g changing Aalamin into 'Aleemen' . As far as I know , Not even The Prophets / Messengers of GOD were Ever Given this Authority to do so ............Do these people think of themselves as Greater messengers than the Messengers of God ?

                            Once again , my Sincere Thanks to all Believers who participated in this Discussion .

                            " Fii maq'adi shidqin ?nda maliikin muqtadir "

                            Peace

                              Misinterpretation of 17/36

                              http//thequran.wordpress.com/2006/12/22/misinterpretation-of-1736/

                              Chapter 17/36 And do not uphold that of which there is no knowledge for you. Surely, the hearing, the sight and the heart, all of these shall be questioned about it.

                              17/36 is usually misinterpreted by some ?Quranists?. According to them this verse is forbidding them to believe in the verses of Al-Quran, until they see it happen. For example, they try to justify thier rejection of events like the virginbirth of Jesus son of Mary, or the splitting of the sea in Moses? story etc, saying ?we won?t believe it until we see it. We do not have knowledge about those events and we are forbidden to uphold anything without any knowledge?!

                              Without any knowledge?! Is Al-Quran without ANY knowledge??!!

                              No, according to 1114, Al-Quran is decended with the knowledge of Allah i.e THE Knowledge.

                              Chapter 11/14 And if they do not respond to you, then know that surely it is sent down with the ilm-illah/knowledge of Allah (i.e al-ilm/THE knowledge), and surely their is no god except Him. So will you be those who submit?

                              So 17/36 is talking about not upholding the things outside Al-Quran for which we have no knowledge. It is not about the things and events mentioned in Al-Quran, which are backed by the knowledge of Allah.

                                        Peace be upon you Fahad,

                                        Yes, there is a specific reason, rule number three of the forum rules which reads..

                                        3] Respect other users of the forum. Language and/or material of vulgarity, obscenity, harassment, profanity or insulting nature, whether it is direct or suggested, will NOT be tolerated. Any messages containing such language or material will be moved to the trash section or deleted, without notice and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the offending member.

                                        Good. At least my posts made you read the rules.

                                        1. So is it OK to insult the Al-Quran, but NOT OK to insult the member who is insulting Al-Quran. Or is there a rule about not insulting the Quran as well? Rule#2?

                                        2. If you scroll down on the rules page, you can find rule#8. Did you read it as well? No? Here

                                        8] When posting a reply to a thread, stay on topic. On occasions this may be allowed, but if there is an ongoing debate or discussion in a thread, then any post which deviates from the topic will be removed WITHOUT notice in the interest of the debate.

                                        Why do you allow the topics to deviate all the time? Why don't you delete the posts that cause the discussion to go off-topic, as the rule#8 suggests? Do you yourself stick to the rules? Or are these rules there only to keep the believers of the Quran in check?

                                        1. Why didn't you delete the off-topic post that started it all?

                                          Peace all,
                                          However you may translate 37 it cannot mean that the mutashaabihah verses' meaning would remain with GOD only since GOD made the Quran for mankind and it makes absoutely no sense to reveal a book in human language in which there would be issues which would never become clear. If you trnaslate "only GOD knows their meaning", then it means in a particular time period. Hoever the other trans is just as much possible n infact i prefer it for that makes it clear that the knowledgable can understand them, not all at once but gradually. take 2130 as an eg. It was definitely mutashaabihah for almost 1300 yrs and then it became muhkam. It is also possible that there be a swap meaning in one generation some verses have become mukam which were mutashaabihah befor AND VICE VERSA as well. Think abt tht one. GOD Bless!
