    The following ayah was my reply to a retarded atheist who cited a so-called "scientific study" showing that atheists have a higher IQ than religious people.

    "And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know not."(Baqarah 13)

      O you the Mankind, listen attentively;

      You demonstrate subservience and allegiance to your Sustainer Lord.

      He the Exalted has created you people, and those who lived before you.

      This demonstrative allegiance might let you people adopt rational conduct avoiding unrestrained moves in reverence and fear of your Creator and Sustainer Lord.

      Your Sustainer Lord had for you caused the spreading of the Earth serving as floor-carpet;

      And the Sky stretched in the manner of an overarching canopy.

      Moreover, He the Exalted descended water from the Sky.

      Thereat, with this Water, He the Exalted brought out a variety of fruits-shrubs, as means of subsistence for you people.

      Thereat having seen the world around you as integrated whole you people should not ascribe and declare others as the likes with reference to Allah the Exalted;

      since you people have logical understanding of there being none alike .

      This first direct address to humanity, comprising thirty eight words, perhaps encompasses entire philosophical pursuit undertaken prior to its revelation till date, and answers simplistically. Philosophy deals among other things with these questions

      Character and general structure of the universe in which we live;

      Is there a permanent element in the constitution of this universe?

      How are we related to it? What place do we occupy in it?

      What is the kind of conduct that befits the place we occupy?

      A man on attaining reflection capability confronts physical and social world and wants to enquire about it. These two unitary verbal passages address and answer above questions. The test of a Book, considered Guide in time and space coupled with lofty declaration as void of conjectural substance, is that a reader like me of ordinary prudence be not confused or perplexed in perceiving what is stated; otherwise he might loose interest in the Book. Moreover, if the Book makes a demand upon reader, it must give him a plausible reason to admit and obey that.

      Character and general structure of the universe in which we live is depicted as is visible to naked eye. The Earth, the Sky, Water which is also the source of botanical produce that serves as sustenance for humans is what the universe is all about outwardly. The character and structure of universe is finite as captured by mere observation. This yields a logical understanding of a coherent universe. Everything is interrelated, they are just one unit. Earth and sky are interrelated, sky and water are interrelated; and water and the produce of earth have inter relationship.

      The permanent element in the constitution of outwardly universe is vividly evident by our own observation since people before us lived in the same universe. "He the Exalted has created you people, and those who existed before you". Men disappeared, universe is still there.

      We are not related to finite Universe enclave in a sky and earth. We are not meant for the universe. Universe is meant for us. It owes its existence because of us. It is visible to naked eye and to logical understanding of "the wise men", that the Universe is coherently structured to relate and serve us. This reflects what place do we occupy in it. We are not infinite but are not that sort of finite as the universe is.

          Why can't we translate the Reading (Quran) in a comlete manner, without mixing it with Arabic words, unless they are proper nouns? And what is your understanding of contact prayer? Is it the ritual salat that seem to be the interpretation every in the book? It does not make great sense that God is most particular of this one ritual or of any form of rituals, if to observe the whole context of the Book.If so how exactly is the ritual or of any other rituals is done, if ever the translation is right? I observe that much of the translations of the Book is much corrupted as I see it in my common sense. The only Book/Reading that I should depend for my guidance is no longer dependable. Thus the only way left for me is to get from God himself and he has guided me much trough His direct inspiration/dreams to me.Certainly much of mankind dislike God, and many too don't believe that God communicates easily withanybody, thus they themselves prohibit God's communication with them.Nothing can be more stupid than this. Do you know that all dreams is His inspiration? Get back to the Book and observe deeply without any previous mind set.TQ.

            Satan inspires. Allah the Exalted only guides. And the method of guiding is universally the same-the Book.

              And listen Provided you are perturbed cast in disconcerting duality of mind regarding authoring- compilation of that Qur'aan, which We have gradually revealed upon Our Sincere Allegiant;

              The best course to get out of disconcerting duality of mind on this point is that you bring one Surat Segment authored in semblance of a Segment of it Qur'aan.

              For the needful, you invite-get help of all your friends-helpers-lawyers available to you other than Allah the Exalted.

              Try it, if you were truthful in expressing perplexity about source of Qur'aan.

              Translation after grammatical parsing 2L23

              A simple solution is suggested. If someone is perplexed that the Qur'aan is not a Divine Revelation but is authored by the exalted Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam it should be easy to find a short text authored by another writer-linguist, not replica, but just resembling that of Qur'aan. Moreover, the tools of Arabic language are equally available to writers and linguists the world over. Therefore, if he is its author, then it should not be hard to find another work resembling it.

              The humanity is the audience of Qur'aan; Arabs and non-Arabs. Therefore, suggestion is not for trying authoring a a segment denoting "an Enclave of superiority and elevation-Ascending Leap", resembling one of Qur'aan. But the challenge is to bring it from anywhere including the Mother City Mecca and at any point in time. The challenge will never be met.

                Typical atheist reply.

                They would say religious or theistic people irrational as usual.

                213 And if they are told "Believe, as the people have believed," they say "Shall we believe like the foolish have believed?" No, they are the foolish but they do not know.

                    Sequel to this effort, if you people have not yet been able to do it; and let it be mentioned that certainly in future too never ever will you be able to do it;

                    thereby, you people be consciously cautious of the Heated Hell-Prison.

                    This Heated Hell Prison is the one whose "Fuel" are the People and the Stones.

                    This Heated Hell-Prison has been prepared for those who persistently refuse to accept.

                      That gardens are in wait-prepared-promised for them where streams flow on lower side by it.
                      Every time they are fed variety of fruits there from as sustenance, they said "This fruit is one which was given to us aforetimes".
                      And they were given things in resemblance of their perceptions.
                      Moreover, spouses of purified-clean hearted as companions-mates are assured for them therein.

Its translation "beneath" will be the best only when we use it to say that something is beneath the table which reflects that it is lying on something else and not on the lower surface of the top of table.

                          It is a fact that (what to say of explaining with gigantic similitude, given earlier) Allah the Exalted does not consider it a matter of shyness-reluctance-embarrassment-constraint,

                          that He might as well strike a similitude-paradigm that of a female mosquito or even that of a smaller female than her.

                          Thereat, as for those who have since heartily accepted-believed, they know that it is certainly the established infallible fact disclosed and communicated by the Sustainer Lord of them.

                          However, as for those are concerned who have rejected-refused to accept the Message (Qur'aan-call of Messenger) they in response-purposefully question others, saying;

                          "What is that which Allah has intended by this example-similitude?"

                          He, by such revelation, exposes-proves many as neglectfully straying .

                          And He the Exalted guides with it-revelation-simplification many .

                          Realize it that He the Exalted by it does not let anyone remain neglectful-straying, except those who dissolutely move out of the bounds and restraints .

                          They are those who in time and space keep breaking-distorting-absolving-disowning the Covenant of Allah the Exalted, after its having consented as firmly established and binding.

                          Moreover, they cut-distance away from that which Allah the Exalted has commanded that it might be approached-joined-maintained .

                          Furthermore, they keep creating disturbance-disquiet-confusion in the society.

                          These are truly those who cause-earn loss to their selves in time-line.

                            How can, it is so surprising, you refuse to acknowledge Allah the Exalted,

                            while knowing that you were matter whereby He the Exalted made you people living .

                            After a period He the Exalted will cause you to die.

                            Afterwards, He the Exalted will revive you all to life.

                            Thereafter, you will be presented before Him the Exalted for accountability (on your turn to tell you what you did in worldly life).

                            He the Exalted is the One Who has created for you people; all together-entirely, whatever is present on-in the Earth.

                            Afterwards, a lapse of time, He turned to the one Sky, thereby for reason/cause of stretching proportioned them into seven skies .

                            Realize it that He the Exalted is intrinsically and eternally the Knower of each and everything .

                              Know the history of the point in time when your Sustainer Lord had said to the Angles

                              "Be informed; I am placing-declaring Adam in the Earth as self-governor enjoying freedom-discretion-free will of self rule-decision-governance".

                              They opined saying "Are You the Exalted granting freedom of act-free will therein to him who will create therein imbalance-mischief-disquiet and will shed bloods/talk floating vanity and conjecture;

                              While we keep celebrating Your praises and we keep narrating the Glory of You the Exalted?".

                              He the Exalted replied "The fact is that I best know that about which you people have no knowledge".

                              http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.%20Tabweeb/0000.%20Haroof%20particles/11.%20Conjunctions/2.%20Izz%20When/1.gif Adverb of time-Point in time-when, and structurally functioning as the first part of a construct of which the second part is either a nominal clause or a verbal one. As an adverb, it complements a verbal element. However, it serves as a device for drawing maximum attention to what follows and quite frequently initiates sentences, with no such element explicitly preceding it. The device is particularly used in the Grand Qur'aan as a means of connecting parts of a subject/episode spread over a long discourse, thereby sustaining the attention and keeping the long discourse together.

                              Here it is in accusative state being object of omitted verb which is evidently, "listen attentively, know that, remember, recall" in view of the following which narrates an episode that happened before the departure for, and arrival of humans on the Earth.

                              http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/2.30g.gif

                              This is verbatim quote of that which was stated by Allah the Exalted for the information of the Angels. The person who was being declared/appointed as self-governing is not named in the quote. The idea and thought/decision of the speaker is considered as conveyed and fully perceived by the listener when the listener does not feel necessity of an enquiry about any element in the stated statement. Both the Speaker and the listeners knew as to who is the referred Person/Being. Therefore, no question raised about the object, Adam alaihissalam; and instead an opinion about his future course of conduct in the Earth was submissively expressed by the Angels.

                              A direct object may be dropped if the grammar and the meaning allow it. If this is the case, it is often considered more eloquent to drop since concise speech is eloquent speech.

                                When the hypocrites come to you, , they say, "We testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." And Allah knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are liars.

                                When the hypocrites come to you (O Muhammad SAW), they say "We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah." Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars indeed.

                                  Salaam angel_one,

                                  Have you considered that that ayah is meant by God as a sarcastic remark?

                                  God bless you

                                    Salam (peace)!

                                    I know you understand the verse very well, even much better than me! )

                                    Surat Al-Munafiqun (The Hypocrites) was revealed in Madinah, most probably in the sixth year after the Hijrah, this surah has 11 verses, and it takes its name from the word al-munafiqun (the hypocrites) in the first verse. It reveals the inner world of the hypocrites and their plots against Islam. It orders the believers not to cling to the passing delights of the world and to remain free of hypocrisy.

                                    The hypocrites who emphatically bore witness to the Messengership of God's Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, in his presence, upon him be peace and blessings, were lying, saying what they did not believe in or what was contrary to their hearts. They did so in order to hide their hypocrisy and the unbelief in their hearts. One who declares something true to be true frequently, emphatically, and without any reason, incurs doubt and should be doubted.

                                    'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As (May Allah be pleased with them) said
                                    The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Whosoever possesses these four characteristics is a sheer hypocrite; and anyone who possesses one of them possesses a characteristic of hypocrisy till he gives it up. These are when he is entrusted with something, he proves dishonest; when he speaks, he tells a lie; when he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous; and when he quarrels, he behaves in very imprudent, evil, insulting manner."

                                    .

                                    Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali & Muhammad Muhsin Khan
                                    60. Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaitan (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray.

                                    1. And when it is said to them "Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)," you (Muhammad SAW) see the hypocrites turn away from you (Muhammad SAW) with aversion.

                                      Be aware of such person affiliated with the set of people (in those days Jews) who proclaims;

                                      "We have accepted the belief in Allah the Exalted and the Last Day".

                                      Such people declare it while they have certainly not become the believers.

                                      They are Muna'fi'qeen, the first characteristic feature of Muna'fi'qeen is their claim of believing in Allah, the Last Day and verbally testifying that Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam is certainly the Messenger of Allah the Exalted as told in 6301. Therefore, it should not be translated by the word Hypocrite, since amongst non believers there could be hypocrites but they are NOT Muna'fi'qeen, they will have a better class-place in Hell-Prison than Muna'fi'qeen-the Imposter believer.

                                      The objective is later told plainly

                                        This is Shirk (polytheism)!!! Are you a polytheist? laugh rotfl

                                        The Qur'an A Monotheist Translation
                                        God and His angels make contact with the prophet. O you who believe, you shall make contact with him, and comply completely.

                                        Mmm, this leads me, inevitably, to wonder why you didn't translate this sentence "Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam" into English? O0

                                        145. Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire - and never will you find for them a helper -

                                        1. Except for those who repent, correct themselves, hold fast to Allah, and are sincere in their religion for Allah, for those will be with the believers. And Allah is going to give the believers a great reward.

                                        2. What would Allah do with your punishment if you are grateful and believe? And ever is Allah Appreciative and Knowing.

                                          Know the fact Allah the Exalted and His Angels render commendations upon the Distinctly Elevated and Chosen Allegiant .
                                          O those/you, who consciously proclaim to have accepted/become believers, listen!
                                          You are directed to reverently commend and attend to him. And you are required to submit to him salutations showing obeisance in a humble and respectful manner.

                                          commendations Praise of somebody's abilities; recognition of accomplishment.
