      What about ? It's half the method of "ablution".
      Now I understand where you come from. There's already the word which is used for the washing after intercourse (death, menustration, child birth and becoming a Muslim according to traditional Islam). The question would be What's exactly is "ghusl", and is it mentioned in the qur'aan or how to perform it? This calls for a separate thread (I do not know if this has already been discussed).

      and also do not go near/join Salat {enter mosque/congregation of Salat] in a state emanating from intercourse with wife/ejaculation-wet dream until you have taken bathe/purified yourselves with water, exception is for one in journey". .

      "And if you people are in the state, resulting from intercourse with your wives , for that reason you purify yourselves".
      For being in the state of , once it is said and second time . They are derived, respectively, from the Root " " and " ". The basic perception infolded in Root " " is to wash with water signifying the removing of dirt, or filth or the like thereof by making water to run over it resulting in cleansing/free from unpleasantness-impurity. And the basic perception infolded in the Root " " is also to make something clean or pure from dirt or filth. In both, the basic job done is to segregate oneself, one thing from the impurities clung to it/around it.
      The distinction and peculiarity, however, of the two is that " " is restrictively used for corporeal cleaning/purification with water while Root " " has connotation both corporeal and ideological and can be attained both with the help of water and otherwise.

      As for what we perceive from "ablution" it is partial " " of some parts of the body speciically mentioned in the Quran which are normally exposed/uncovered and hence it is distinct from the " " which is ever in commonly known perception taking bath, cleaning/refreshing the entire body.

        Thanks. This is the verse I meant when I said

          I already responded to this here

          As for your other querry, he seems to start his entries with the simple perfect verb (form I), except when form I is not in use (so he is one who sees the perfect verb as the root). This is what I noticed in the two links you provided. That's why you see he starts with , which is the perfect (past) tense. Maybe you can investigate this with other roots.
          I do not see where it quotes from Alkitaab. The first sentence is not a part of any verse, the second, , he gives its meaning as "alqur'aan"

          He is following, or he follows a
          right direction.- The Kur-an

            Hi all, Samia, Bkanwar,

            I am not a big supporter of code 19, BUT will it be possible, it is just an hypothesis that is written with instead of ALIF to support the counting of ALIF, LAM, MIM, just as it is in one surat (don't remember which one) with SIN and SAD (inverted).

            Peace

              You are talking about ( & ) in 2247 and 769 where one wrod is written in 2 different spellings (maybe it's not even the same word, no one researched that). But as far as "huda" is concerned, it's written this way althrough the Book. It's not the only word ending with alif maqsura.

                Herbman, I want to salute you for your efforts on pondering upon linguistic of the Alkitab. This is one word that is bothering me too. One explanation in a grammar book I have found that used to be written with an Alif up top of as part of tenween of fetha. Sis Samia, may like to comment on this. I have not seen a copy of Alkitab with such a script to date.

                  Maybe you mean the Alif up as above any for example (check a mushaf, not a quraan on line) where the alif is not written and is replaced with this small alif for pronunciation convenience.

                    No, Sis, what I mean is like they write with an Alif on yaa. I can not type it with key keyboard, like you see printed in books.

                      It's the same one I meant. So it's not limited to the alif maqsoura, and helps in pronunciation and differentiating it from the yaa. Mybe dotting the yaa is a recent invention ( & )

                          You are talking about ibdaal exchanging a letter with another to facilitate the pronunciation. The quraan uses this rule, and when it's applied to a word, this word is written in one way only. Search for and for example. They are used more than once with the same spelling. The word does not conform to this rule of ibdaal, and they call it one of the strange/unfamiliar examples of quraanic vocabulary. What I say is maybe it's another word and there's nothing strange. This is the same logic that says is the same as

                              This is not what I am saying. I did not say the ibdaal is a strange phenomenon. I say that a word in the quraan like does not follow the rules to have ibdaal , so no ibdaal in it, and the seen does not change into saad because it came adjacent to a Taa . There's no such rule This is the only case. How about ? That's why they would consider it among the " " strange vocabulary in the qur'aan. And there are many justifications, all based on the understanding that they are the same word. Some even say it's a dialect of Beirut!

                                  Can we rule out the possibility that the day "The House" was being raised, at that point of time the location/a small valley was called or known as , and later on when it developed into a city it became popular as instead of presuming that ba got changed with meem. We know the phenomenon of changing names of places/locations.

                                    First of all, beit has two meanings a contruction within which a family lives, or a body of concept/s. For God, I would rather go for the lattar meaning, so I am not very much concerned about a "house" being "constructed" somewhere. Besides, "Makkah" in the qur'aan is never linked to any house or anything other than a fierce fighting.
                                    Again, whether a valley was called "Becca" and later was changed into "Makkah" does not mean Makkah and Becca are phonemes of the same word. I only know that if one catches cold, instead of "makkah" they will say "bakkah".
                                    Do you have any example -other than cold- where a word has two spellings one with the letter "meem" and another with a "baa" instead of the "meem"? Remember that rules of linguistics are usually built on observation. If you do not have a case, you do not have a rule.

                                        First of all, beit has two meanings a contruction within which a family lives, or a body of concept/s. For God, I would rather go for the lattar meaning, so I am not very much concerned about a "house" being "constructed" somewhere.

                                        Sister Salam and my respects;

                                        How would you put the later meanings in this particular place

                                          Salaam Q-Student

                                          Some say this and some say that, but no one would say both pronunciations. I say "shams sun", some Sudanese say "shamsh". I never say shamsh and the others never say shams. Same with your examples. Logically, language is to communicate; why would I utter different pronunciations and spellings for the same word and hope others would understand what I mean?
