Another problem in the Quran?
-
Peace,
I have never heard of this one before except recently. I will quote it.
Ilyaas is translated as Elijah and Elias. Why? In the Greek, Elijah is known as Elias. Elijah is anglicanized from the Hebrew Eliyahu. The Greek version of the name is more similar to the Arabic. The original name is Eliyahu, the Greek translation came later in what is called the 'Septuagint'. The 's' in Elias exists because it is necessary in Greek grammar. So the Greek form of the name is closer to the Arabic than the original Hebrew. Why would God reveal to his messenger the corrupted form of the name of one of his prophets? Why is the name not closer to the Hebrew, 'Eliyahu'? The conclusion can be made that Muhammad heard it as 'Ilyaas'. This implicates that the Qur'an is not what is says it is, the word of God. The same can be said of 'Yunus'. the 's' only exists out of necessity to comply with Greek grammar. In Hebrew he is known as 'Yonah'. Or what of 'Sulayman'? 'Solomon' Greek rendering, 'Shlomo' Hebrew.
B-E-A-utiful!
Anyone dares to refute?
That is very interesting. hmm

This goes back to my thread about names. For that matter why is Elisha called Al-Yasa (that one actually makes sense, though it's interpreted differently by Muslims)? Or Yeshua, Eysy? One theory I don't hear too often is to get rid of the Yah bit of the names. De-Judaizing them. Some of the Quranic names don't have valid etymologies, so I'd guess that the nature of names weren't that important -- whatever people were use to, written phonetically.

Do u care about names? What it'll do fo u? Would it make u better? Tell me their REAL names. Now where did u get them from? From the Bible? From them 'scholars', or, should i say, 'rabies', 'priests'? Now who you gon' choose to believe - Allah, or them?

Often the "s" was added to masculine the name.
So Jonah and Elijah are kinda gays in need of some straightening Greek style. rotfl
But what if the early prophets were not hebrews but greeks?
What if hebrewism started with Ezra and Zecheriah?
But still doesnt make any sense. D
Or does it?!

Peace,
Respectfully.We don't know the name of Lot's wife, right?
780 And Lot, he said to his people ?Do you commit lewdness such as none of those of the worlds had done before??
781 ?You approach the men out of desire instead of the women! Indeed, you are a transgressing people.?
782 The only response of his people was ?Drive them out of your town; they are a people who wish to be pure!?
783 We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who were destroyed.
784 And We rained down upon them a rain, so see how was the punishment for the criminals.(the translation of The Quran on FM is not corrected, at least this chapter, so forgive me)
6612 God puts forth as examples of those who have rejected, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were married to two of Our righteous servants, but they betrayed them and, consequently, they could not help them at all against God. And it was said ?Enter the Fire, both of you, with those who will enter it.?
And also th next verse where God tells us the story (hadeeth!) about pharaoh's wife, whow as apparently a believer but we never hear her name, right?
People take me as a kaffir because my name is Alen. Is it my fault my father gave me this name after Formula One Driver Alain prost? jedi

The problem is consistency...why Zechariah is in hebrew while Jonah and Elijah are in Greek?
Thats the question.
Or is there something that we don't know?
Ask the translators. In my research translations are never consistent...The translators were under judeo-christian influence, so yes they assigned greek/hebrew names to the arabic.
