    Salaam all,

    Do they not reflect on the Quran? If it was from any other than God they would have found it very different. .

    Some people translate the word "ikhtilaaf" as contradiction, but I've noticed on other thread here some user quoting it that way above. I was aware that the word "ikhtilaf" means difference and not contradiction.

    But what do you all think about this word "ikhtilaaf" (difference)? different than what?

    Christopher Luxemberg in his book about the aramaic reading of the Quran tries to say "different than the bible" but I don't agree to this interpretation, since i see it very different, at least the translations I can read of the bible!

    any inputs are welcome

    regards
    sabo

      Salam/Peace. group I am disappointed that no one answered you for 14 years, well i shall try

      Check the root word of "ikhtilaaf" (&#1575

      Kh-Lam-Fa = To follow/come after/succeed another, substitute or supersede, to supply/be a supplier to someone, to restore or replace a thing to someone, smite or strike from behind, yearn towards other than one's spouse (in the spouses absence/behind his or her back), speak of/mention someone behind his or her back, remain behind/not go forth, to be kept back from all good, to not prosper or be successful, to become corrupt or altered for the worse, retire/withdraw/go away, to turn away from/avoid/shun a thing, to become foolish/idiotic/deficient in intellect, contrarious/hard in disposition, to leave behind, to appoint someone as successor, disagree with or differ from someone, contradict or oppose someone, to break/fail to perform a promise, to follow reciprocally/alternate/interchange, repeatedly move to and fro (coming and going), to differ/ be dissimilar

      Also check this verse

      181
      Alhamdu lillahi allatheeanzala AAala AAabdihi alkitaba walam yajAAal lahuAAiwajan
      Praise be to God who has sent down the Book to His servant, and He has not made in it any crookedness.

      3923
      Allahu nazzala ahsana alhadeethikitaban mutashabihan mathaniya taqshaAAirruminhu juloodu allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum thummataleenu julooduhum waquloobuhum ila thikri Allahithalika huda Allahi yahdee bihi man yashaowaman yudlili Allahu fama lahu min hadin
      God has sent down the best narrative, a Book that is similar, dual. The skins of those who are concerned towards their Lord shiver from it, then their skins and their hearts soften up to the remembrance of God. Such is the guidance of God; He guides with it whoever He wills. And for whoever God misguides, then none can guide him.

      3924
      Afaman yattaqee biwajhihi soo-a alAAathabiyawma alqiyamati waqeela lilththalimeenathooqoo ma kuntum taksiboona
      As he who saves his face from the terrible retribution on the Day of Resurrection. And it will be said to the transgressors "Taste for what you have earned."

      3925
      Kaththaba allatheena minqablihim faatahumu alAAathabu min haythu layashAAuroona
      Those before them have denied, and thus the retribution came to them from where they did not perceive.

      3926
      Faathaqahumu Allahu alkhizyafee alhayati alddunya walaAAathabual-akhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona
      So God made them taste the humiliation in this worldly life, but the retribution in the Hereafter is far greater, if only they knew.

      3927
      Walaqad darabna lilnnasifee hatha alqur-ani min kulli mathalin laAAallahumyatathakkaroona
      And We have put forth for the people in this Qur'an from every example, that they may take heed.

      3928
      Qur-anan AAarabiyyan ghayra theeAAiwajin laAAallahum yattaqoona
      A revelation in Arabic, without any crookedness, that they may be righteous.

      I believe Wakas made some comments on this. What did you say about this Wakas?

      EDIT

      Bold I am not sure about that ikhtilaaf really means "difference" because the grammar form of ikhtilaaf is masculine form VIII verbalnoun VN definite INDEF accusative (http//quranix.org/4#82) or in other words Verb (form VIII) (http//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=xlf#(48212))

      If it really was the meaning "difference" then it would have been like yakhtalifoona (&#1606
      (http//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=xlf#(211331))

          In my humble understanding verse is talking about contradiction in Quran and not difference between Quran and any other book.

              that word appears only once so cross checking is not really possible.

              why only once ?
              due to a reason so that people who want to peal the skin of hair can find the 2nd ikhtalafan. and then they will say becoz there are two ikhtalafan in quran hence its a fake book

              author saved u here too guys hmm

                          Is that so? I wonder why Allah/God (SWTAY) used that word once? That is very interesting.

                            But it's root is found 127 times. Don't you look to root to change the meaning?

                              I meant the derivative. Not the root word.

                                      Is that so? I wonder why Allah/God (SWTAY) used that word once? That is very interesting.

                                      author used it due to a reason
                                      if you read my first reply again then u can see the possible reason although the root used quite a lot in different meaning from alternate,different,successor and so on.
                                      but we are not hunting roots we are on about that word "ikhtilafan"

                                      word ikhtalaf also means disagree

                                        I am not sure on that, i honestly believe it means "contradiction" because notice the word before ikhtilafan (&#1575 there is lawajadoo feehi ( &#1607

                                        By the way the "la" on wajadoo is a emphatic lm prefix, not a negative particle
