Verse (4:159) Translation what does it mean???

Salaam bro,

Salaam Dear drsam,

I draw your attention to verse 37 in The Qur'aan. Besides, the truth of this matter is of one of the hidden ones. It is not one of the MUHKAMAAT either. I recommend that you just believe in it and do not delve into it trying to find its TA'VEEL/hidden meaning, just as The Qur'aan commends us to do so. Getting involve into these sorts of matters do not really solve anything from us and on the other hand creates controversies and confusion and at the end does not get us anywhere. We as the next to nothing servants of ALLAAH SWT have no saying regarding MUTASHAABIHAAT.

Agreed bravo

I just wanted to add that the term "Ahl AlKitaab" is only addressed to 'People of Musa(AS)' and 'People of Eisa(AS), if I am not mistaken, inshaAllah. And 4159 used the same term.

May Allah guide us all to His only path pr

I see 37 being abused like this way too often Believe. Shut up. Don't ask questions. Your interpretation is wholly contradictory to the Quranic message. Moreover, this 'logic' can be applied to ANY topic.

The term "alkitaab" does not translate into "book" nor "scripture". It's a collection of subjects united by the same theme. If you are familiar with the books of fiqh, you will find that they are divided, not in chapters, but in "kitaabs" and hence "kitaab ul-sariqaat"...etc = book of theft or Cahpter on theft. Same thing as for ancient egyptian writtings and the famous "book of Death". All messengers were given "the book", including Muhammad.

Translation
Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; ....

The one thing they were all given are the universal laws "the Straight Path" (chapter 6 verses 151-153) to Muhammad, and the Ten Commandments to Moses, called also "alkitaab".
Therefore, the people of "the book" are the people aware of the universal laws and abiding by them.
Please remember that words such as Judaism and Christianity or any title to whatever religion apart from peacefulness (islam in Arabic) do not exist in the qur'aan.

Fascinating observation Samia, I hadn't thought of it like that before.

peace Samia,

Nice to see you post.

Therefore, the people of "the book" are the people aware of the universal laws and abiding by them.

Have you ran this understanding through the occurrences within AQ and found it to hold weight?

Bigmo

People of the book are the Israelites (jews).

Hello Wakas

Sorry for the belated response.
The term "torah" itself means "law" or "instructions".
In verse 6154, immediately after the verses detailing the articles of the Straight Path, we read

Moreover, We gave Moses the Book, completing (Our favour) to those who would do right, and explaining all things in detail...

Then, 6 155 157

And this is a Book which We have revealed as a blessing so follow it and be righteous, that ye may receive mercy

Lest ye should say "The Book was sent down to two Peoples before us, and for our part, we remained unacquainted with all that they learned by assiduous study"

Or lest ye should say "If the Book had only been sent down to us, we should have followed its guidance better than they....."

And then verse 6 158

Those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least their affair is with Allah He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.

Therefore One Book, One "religion".

218 We did not make for them bodies that do not need to eat, nor were they immortal.
2134 We did not give immortality to any human that came before you. If you are going to die, would they be immortal 3144 Muhammad is but a messenger, like many messengers that have passed before him. If he dies or gets killed, will you turn back on your heels? Whoever turns back on his heels, he will not harm God in the least. God will reward the thankful. ?
