    Here is the subject/doer of the verb before it. Who has come to people? the Grand Qur'aan.

    I agree with siki, this word is The Truth, not Grand Quran. And Quran is not a who

      You cant do this, when Allah uses ,"" or or or for his speech they cant be translated as "Grand Quran" due to reasons that i have listed in my previous posts. Only the word can be translated as Grand Quran.

      Only he understands who listens. First listen carefully. It is not translation, it is referring to Qur'aan. When it is said he is idiot, it is not translation of siki, it is reference to him, it is his description. Al Haqo refers to Qur'aan.

      Correction is pointed out with respect to Subject of the verb; there I had earlier taken it as object. The Subject of the Verb is "Alhaqo" and only a stupid like you supported by Ayisa won't get it that it refers to Qur'aan and nothing absolutely nothing else.

        Quote from Mazhar on Yesterday at 085301 PM

        Should i take above quote of yours as correction of the mistake that i have pointed out?

        This is the reason that you keep forcing me to call you stupid. Without having compared what I have given the translation on forum and that which is on site, you have taken it to somehwere else, without seeing that I pointed out what is the maistake; Subject of the verb was translated as object of the verb.

        Had you read that you would not have done the stupidity of giving translation of so many who have made the same mistake which I have corrected with reference to my own translation. Subject of the verb means who does/performs that act while object of verb is that who receives the action. Al Haqo is in nominative case and is the subject of Ja'a which has suffixed object pronoun "kum"-you people.

        And after translating the word and placing slash Grand Qur'aan is mentioned to which the word refers. And if you look at the explanation by above translators you will find they also say it refers to Al-FurQan which again refers to Qur'aan.

        Just one
        Yusuf Ali with reference The Truth says The Furqan, the Criterion between right and wrong, has been sent to us from Allah. If we accept guidance, it is not as if we confer favours on those who bring us guidance. They suffer unselfishly for us, in order that we may be guided for our own good. On the other hand, if we reject it, it is our own loss. We have a certain amount of free-will, and the responsibility is ours and cannot be shifted to the Prophets sent by Allah. (10.10

          peace be upon you brother

          and only a stupid like you supported by Ayisa won't get it that it refers to Qur'aan and nothing absolutely nothing else.

          May God bless you with more patience and wisdom.

          Al Haqo refers to Qur'aan. The Subject of the Verb is "Alhaqo" and only a stupid like you supported by Ayisa won't get it that it refers to Qur'aan and nothing absolutely nothing else.

          you have written grand quran with a slash / that means "and " it is not a referral but an alternate meaning, and alternate meaning in Arabic are as good as primary meaning. So basically you are trying to convey, that , look Allah forgot to use the word Quran , or may be Allah is too shy to use the word Quran but I am telling you that he actually means Quran by this word here.

          it refers to Qur'aan and nothing absolutely nothing else.

          So you mean the Truth from Allah is only contained in Quran? The truth did not exist before Quran? There were plenty of rightly guided people before the Quran was sent down, where did they get the truth from?

          Brother , you are mentally so padlocked on Mohammad (pbuh) and things associated with him, that you are incapable of perceiving anything beyond your shell. You are no better than those around you who are brain washed to believe that God created the two worlds, only because of his love for Mohammad. For God's sake remove your Mohammad glasses for a while and look around, there is a world out there which existed before Mohammad, exists beyond Mohammad, and the things not related/relevant to Mohammad.

          May God grant you some wisdom and manners.

            By the way who is that English gentleman or lady or the dictionary which tells you that slash means alternate meanings?

              Sorry, my stupidity, i was too naive to think that sense would prevail so soon, forgive me, but then the way you have made that posting , 99.99% people would perceive , what i mistakenly perceived (you may like to cross check this from other forum members)

              The school that you learned Arabic from, I feel like sending a suggestion, "They must include some classes on use of common sense and mannerism in the curriculum.

                  On the first page, after the post of Munzir, the author of the thread, you expressed your anger like this

                  let me tell you something before i start discussing the issue,

                  1. I find you to be intellectually dishonest, because over a period of time i have observed that when, you are not able to answer for a mistake , you conveniently ignore the subject and start posting regarding a non issue or a small issue which you can prove,hence successfully diverting the attention of forum members from a blunder of yours. I have seen you doing this over and over . A genuine servant of God never does such a thing , he puts his ego aside , accepts his mistake , corrects it and moves on.

                  I am using soft words stupid and idiot which has relevance to brain, intellect which you are deliberately not applying; and seem to have made you hardened on the issue the claps of Ayisha.

                    o o

                    Eg-

                    My worshippers who listen to the discourse and choose with deliberation the best course to follow as of forgiveness in lieu of retaliation. These are they who have the world all before them and Providence their guide and it is these who apprehend virtue as well as the voice from heaven.

                    How did arrive with all those words? Did he add his own understanding? Or tafseer? peace

                    He is not the only one , we have another such example right here with us on this forum , any guess? yes you are right , bravo It is our own Brother Mazhar

                    look at this , rotfl

                    39-18 those who make themselves attentively listen the Word/Grand Qur'aan thereby/resultantly they incline themselves to act/follow, in letter and spirit, the best course described in that/Grand Qur'aan

                    I fail to understand what is he trying to explain "From eardrum take it to memory for saving"? Does he understand that people who can read english, can understand what word "listen" mean? and if they are incapable of deciphering the meaning of word "listen" they would definitely be incapable of understanding his explanation. Moreover anybody who has the intellect to explore quran, for sure he can make sense of the word "Listen"

                    Here is one more, enjoy. eat

                    "so that they may conveniently save it in memory/remember and recall to orally narrate."

                    ) These are just convenient picks from the same thread, want further enlightenment? visit his site , you could stumble upon some jewels.

                      Allah had quoted about the attitude of people like you listen it attentively and then reread what have you said above;

                      http//www.haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/008.%20Al%20Anfaal/8.21.gif
                      And you people should never be like those who said "We have heard" but the fact is they do not listen.

                      What is the difference between hearing and "listening"?

                      Indeed, in the sight of Allah the worst/irksome of the animals are the deaf and the dumb, those who do not reflect/interpret/differentiate

                          Now relate it with your answer quoting my translations?

                                central nervous system being the human CPU which will process it and save it on the hard drive (memory)? ???

                                yes i agree, that's listening as opposed to hearing. Many hear, but do they listen. One can hear and save it to memory for oral relating it, as many do hear Quran and recite it beautifully without listening as many have no idea what its saying.

                                    salaam to all brothers and sisters here.

                                    After reading through the discussion, it seems that this discussion is leading nowhere. However, I would back the position of Brother Mazhar regarding Al-Qawl as a reference to Al-Quran ... Infact the name is not Al-Quran, it is Al-Kitaab.... and there are many other adjectives and definitions attributed to this Al-Kitaab... Moreover, the 'AL' attached with the word Qawl should make us think twice because it makes it definite as per the quranic definition and context... There is some kind of pattern in the quran which should be neglected... An example would be the use of the word WAHDAHU/Him Alone has always been used only for Allah and nothing else... Similarly, it is the same for Al-Qawl which elsewhere all over the quran has been always used to denote the word of God whereas the word of man is referred to as Hadith... Maybe I missed something, but this is my personal opinion on the matter... And I would like you brothers to make peace with one another.

                                    Brother Mazhar,it was not very nice to give bad names to siki... Please refrain from doing this next time and let us try to understand one another.

                                    Salaam

                                      welcome back brother, where have you been for such a long time? you were missed.

                                      However, I would back the position of Brother Mazhar regarding Al-Qawl as a reference to Al-Quran ...

                                      It is good that we have a neutral person participating in discussion

                                      .. Infact the name is not Al-Quran, it is Al-Kitaab....

                                      Could you elaborate on what do you perceive by the word "Alquran" and what is your definition of "Al kitab" ?

                                      same for Al-Qawl which elsewhere all over the quran has been always used to denote the word of God whereas the word of man is referred to as Hadith...

                                      What ever little work i have done on Al qawl, i tend to disagree with you, however let me explore a little more and i would get back to you. Meanwhile you also take a second look on the subject deliberately , in the light of your above statement.

                                      peace

                                      siki

                                        Thanks Way finder. I used two terms, one is considered offensive, though merely means and refers to one about whom someone estimates IQ of 25 percent or under and mental age of three years. And the other term is for one whom one regards as unintelligent or who is showing lack of intelligence, perception or common sense. And he also initially took it in light sense, and we kept using dear etc until someone..........................

                                        But perhaps you have didn't read his remarks after Munzir's post; leave them.

                                          Wayfinder, may I quote Ayat, the perception I got from your observation!

                                          http//www.haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/043.%20Az%20Zukhraf/43.02a.gif
                                          And swearing is by the Book, the one which makes things/knowledge distinct and crystal clear.

                                          Indeed We have made that Book as the Written Book/Qur'aan in Arabic language, so that you people may be able to save it in memory/reflect and differentiate

                                          And indeed that-Grand Qur'aan is from/with Us in the Master Copy/Mother of the Book, certainly Exalted, containing Wisdom-the absolute knowledge of all invisible/secreted/infolded.
