You Have Been Warned
-
Peace bro "AB",
Peace bro "AB",
JK- Youve still not told me why does GOD then need to warn us of punishment also if we do wrong? Regarding 7431 go through the links i posted. GOD Bless!Peace bro
here is the verses
Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit who goeth astray doth so to his own loss No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an messenger (to give warning).
(15)
-> See. Allah has to warn us in advance otherwise, He can't punsih us
Messengers who gave good news as well as warning, that mankind, after (the coming) of the messengers, should have no plea against Allah For Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
(165)
-> These warnings came via messegers, hence we can't have any plea with Allah, because Allah delivered what He promised which is to send the warnings of His severe punishment via messengers
Salam
JK- I know GOD always warns before giving punishment. But the qs i asked is why does GOD make mention of hell and it's features at all? He could have just said that those who disbelieved would face severe punishment. Now you get my point? GOD Bless!

Bro Ahmed,
Maybe my arabic is not that good then.
OK what is the difference between the word taqwa and khashia? I refer to the ayats where Allah says Attaqu Allha ma astata'a tum, and Attaqu Allah haqa tuqattihi..
I am still not convinced that khashia means only fear. Khaouf yes, but khashia is deeper in meaning. I believes it includes respect/reverence when it is referring to Allah. You cannot just fear Allah as you fear a punishment, even if it is the one of Hell, meaning you put Allah at same level as punishment... And Allah never says to my knowledge Khafuni...
And Allah knows best
Salam BroWell said , noble. That's what I was trying to say. You put it in a better way.
And if you ask anybody who speaks Arabic if "yakhaaf" and "yakhsha" mean the same, a quick reponse is NO, and they would say that yakhsha has an element of respect, love and more[

Just to let you know that "Khashia" has nothing to do with "Ikhtasha", it is just a case of similar letters and I know this confuses many new Arabic commers, what you should know that the word "Ikhtasha", is the "Masddar" "The root" itself and it is one of those 5 letters roots, like "Igtmaa", "Iktafa", "Izdahara
The Alif and Ta in Ikhtasha CAN NOT BE DROPPED to determine the "Masddar"
Peace Ahmed
Just to let you know that ikhtasha and khashia are two verbs derived form one root. iktasha is a verb of the pattern "ifta3a" known as form 8, khashia is form 1. It is definitely not a masddar.
Also, a 5-letters-root does not exist. All the examples you gave are for verbs of the pattern (, jama3a, kafa, zahara being their (form 1) verbs. -
) How the mountains will be embarrassed from Allah?
2) If the 3 translators above got it wrong translating the word ?Khashia??Peace Ahmed
Would you please go back to my posting and read it again, if you really want an answer? The answer is there, you just do not give yourself time to read and try to understand.A quick answer? I did not say any of the above.

Bro Ahmed,
Peace Bro
Maybe my arabic is not that good then.
Even if it is good, it is irrelevant in this case because we have the Quran using the word many times, if the Quran fails to explain it then we can seek the help of those Arabic speakers
Here is my philosophy bro,
- I use the Quran to explain itself, (words and context)
- If the Quran have not used the word enough or the context is vague then I will seek knowledge from other sources
i.e. bro, I don?t take the words of any human whatever that human knowledge is if what that humans says contradicts the Quran. Very simple logic
the case we have in hand is the word Yakhsha, now we have the following facts
- all translators all over the Quran translated the word as to fear in all the locations the word appeared
- if the other two proposed understandings (embarrassed or showing respect) are used in many of these location we will end up with either, a non sensible teaching, or a silly verse that does not makes any sense
- as far as Arabic knowledge I have, the word Yaksha ONLY MEANS TO FEAR
now what I need from you and sister Samia to prove your case is very simple, you bring a verse in the Quran where the word is used to mean ?show respect, or embarrassed? conclusively and I will have no problem to concede, for example I used to know that the word ?Bushra? is only used for the good news and I argued that with Samia, then when she showed me a couple of verses that conclusively showed the word was used with bad news, I conceded, therefore bro instead of wasting everyone time, I only accept Quran verses as evidences please, it is ironic that the verses I showed so far, neither you nor Samia responded to it to clear my ignorance and show me that the new meanings both of you are proposing will fit like a glove without creating a contradiction, let me show you a few examples
Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah They said Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)? Say Short is the enjoyment of this world the Hereafter is the best for those who do right Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!
(77)
-> In the above Allah is giving us an example of some coward humans who feared to fight, because they feared their enemy more than they feared Allah ? ? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah?, now I only see ?to fear? fitting in here, can you please convince me that using ?embarrassed or showing respect? will not make the verse non sensible?
And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; We give them sustenance and yourselves (too); surely to kill them is a great wrong.
(31)
-> Allah is warning us not to kill our new children FEARIN poverty ? And do not kill your children for fear of poverty?, same question bro, can both new meaning apply in here without making the verse laughable?, well possibly being embarrassed of poverty has 2% logic but to show respect to poverty is very laughable indeed, don?t you agree?
Say If you control the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold (them) from fear of spending, and man is niggardly.
(100)
-> In this verse Allah is telling Mohammad to tell us ? Say If you control the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold (them) from fear of spending?, same question my friend, can both meaning fit in here?, well what is the percentage of logic you give to each of the following
- Say If you control the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold (them) from respect of spending
- Say If you control the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold (them) from embarrassment of spending
I tell you bro I give both 0% logic, because simply, it won?t make any sense
OK what is the difference between the word taqwa and khashia? I refer to the ayats where Allah says Attaqu Allha ma astata'a tum, and Attaqu Allah haqa tuqattihi..
Good question, while I haven?t done enough researches regarding the word ?Itqi?, I can say from the top of my head that this is what can mean ?show respect?, however I see it as ?Avoid being questionable by Allah?, this in effect means to be smart to do what He asked us to do, it has nothing to do with fear, rather being smart.
I am still not convinced that khashia means only fear. Khaouf yes,
Then please convince me USING THE QURAN ALONE, anything else is inadmissible in my religious world, I?m sorry bro
but khashia is deeper in meaning. I believes it includes respect/reverence when it is referring to Allah.
hmmm, so when Allah is telling us ?La Takhshu Al Nas?, it means He istelling us not to show respect to the people?
You cannot just fear Allah as you fear a punishment,
Of course and I never said that
even if it is the one of Hell,
I always differentiated between fearing Allah and fearing His punishment, in fact I stated earlier that Allah can eliminate us without any torture and this is enough to cause fear to me
meaning you put Allah at same level as punishment...
I never did, but I have to say is to take some flawed human words for a new meaning of a word despite He used it many times in the Quran to mean only one thing, is what can be considered what you said above
And Allah never says to my knowledge Khafuni...
And Allah knows best
Salam BroBut He said ?Ikhshon?, and all the places the word is used in the Quran can only mean one thing which is to fear Him
Salam

Peace bro
come on bro, i don't expect these sort of questions from a believer, however here is my answer mate
He described the hell in details to us because He chose to do so

I can assure you that 4 and 5 root Masdar exist, it is called Kalimat Jamida
But i will leave it at this until Anwar tell us what he thinks regarding the 5 letters root

JK- Bro i believe to everything GOD has a reason. Theres nothing just in vain. GOD even says this in the Quran that nothing did He create in vain. Everything has to have a reason and one of the more reasobale reasons i see for the punishment of hell is also to motivate people. Ofcourse the reward also plays a very significant part in this. The BOTH DO. GOD Bless!

Peace bro "AB",
Peace mate
JK- Bro i believe to everything GOD has a reason.
Of course, but let me ask you these two questions
- Do you believe that He told us all His reasons regarding all His plans?
- Do you believe that He SHOULD tell us all His reasons regarding all His plans?
Theres nothing just in vain.
Of course again, no believer will say this about Allah creation
GOD even says this in the Quran that nothing did He create in vain.
That is why believers will stand firm to that statement, because it was said by Him.
Everything has to have a reason and one of the more reasobale reasons i see for the punishment of hell is also to motivate people.
that is what you see bro however you are confusing the common sense in here
FEAR DOES NOT MOTIVATE, it actually does the opposite however the task required will be done by force
It would have been easy on Allah to create us without freewill and we just worship Him day and night like all others creatures "sun, earth, etc etc..), would you have prefered that life bro?, no reward no punishment?
Now instead of that, He created a new law, that law is simply, He ecreated us ONLY to worship Him but we will have a freewill to make our decisions, then He told us that anyone who will meet Him kafir, will be doomed regardless of the deeds. this is no motivation whatsoever this is a law as a result of a given freewill.
Now, He motivated us regarding all other sins, and He said He may forgive them all if you are not a kafir, see how there is a reward in here?, He told us if you repenet from the bad deeds and do not insist on it then it will be replaced with good deeds, again, can you see the motivation in here? there is a reward of course, and for the good deeds, He told us the reward for it will be multiplied if we are believers, again a reward and a motivation
With Hell bro, there is no reward, if you are a kafir, you will be doomed, THIS IS A THREAT NOT A MOTIVATION
Again people need to escape that satanic feel good religion attitude because it does not work with Islam
Ofcourse the reward also plays a very significant part in this. The BOTH DO. GOD Bless!
I believe only the rewards like Allah forgivness and His paradise will play all the part in motivation

Peace Bro Ahmed.
I am impressed by your memory of all the occurences of the word Yakhsha.
I believe the meaning depends on the context. Do not forget there are other words for fear in other languages too, how about "being scared", or "being anxious", "terrorised"..., and each produce a different shade of meaning
Again Allah never used Khawf Allah.
In some examples you cited, khashiata means giving more importance to, giving more importance to a creature or a thing than to Allah.
By the way I do not really care about translations of Quran. I agree Kashia includes fear, but not always. In the case of Khashiati Allah in Arabic, for me it means not only fear, also giving importance to and showing respect.
The Quran also warns us from taking things out of their context....And as always Allah knows best

Thank you bro
I hope you concede after reading the following verse that The Quran said we should "Nakhaf Allah"
And remember your Lord within yourself humbly and fearing and in a voice not loud in the morning and the evening and be not of the heedless ones.
(205)
-> See bro , "And remember your Lord within yourself humbly and fearing "
So fearing Allah was an order using the word "Khafa"
Salam

Peace
Again Bro Ahmed
And Allah was right to say that we humans are the most argumentative creatures, certainly I am... ;D
SalamPeace bro
I was one as well bro, but I'm glad I manged to take my ego away and leave it to Allah words to explaint itself
people think I'm argumantative, but the fact of the matter is verse 1736 say "Don't argue if you lack knowledge" and that is exactly what I try hard to do, the message of 1736 is very positive indeed because it allows you to argue if you have the knowledge
Take care bro

Peace Bro Ahmed
I love arguing, but I do not have the energy to keep it up even when I am correct...
You too take care...Peace bro
Did you notice that "Khifa" was on the same wazn as "Khashia"?
cheers
-
Peace
Bro Ahmed
Yes it has the same emphasis. However the injunction or order was for the Prophet. I know Allah said He was the ultimate example for us, but I believe that it is very hard for the average believer to have the same faith as the Prophet himself...
Also are there other occurences of the word Khifa that is linked directly as an order to the Muslims, not the Prophet in isolation...
I told you I love arguing, but will probably not keep it up with you )

Peace bro "AB",
With Hell bro, there is no reward, if you are a kafir, you will be doomed, THIS IS A THREAT NOT A MOTIVATION
JK- I get a feeling that you might be thinking that i deny it being a threat. If thts the case then know tht i dont. I considered it BOTH a threat and a motivation. GOD Bless!
