      From Gali's introduction

      "... hoping that the time will soon come when more and more Muslims will be motivated to master the Divine language and
      the message of the Glorious Qur'an. Failure o understand the teachings of the Qur'an will inevitably lead all humanity, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, into instability, turmoil, tribulation and universal tragedy."

      The problem lies in what I put in bold. It is a serious error to assume that Arabic is a divine language. The Torah was revealed in Hebrew, but it is not a divine language. Aramaic is not a divine language, Arabic is not a divine language, English is not a divine language. No language is divine!

          Latin Iesou(s) (later Latin speakers changed the "I" sound into a "J&quot

          Arabyk Yeshoo not ISA

          Anyway To say Jesus from 2012 years ago is Same as ISA Ibna Maryam sister of Harun and Musa is Incoerent and you will finish yourself telling that AQ is wrong, you will say Muhamed made a mistake or Even Say Allah made it just to fullfil the Yeshoo(Jesus in arab) from Palestine wich has nothing to do with Isa the Prophet "word of God" ibna Maryam.

          Will just become equal to these brothers who say AQ is mistaken yeah

          ""The Virgin Mary

          In many places, the Qur'an mentions Mary as the sister of Moses and Aaron and the daughter of Imran. The Qur'an has confused Jesus' mother with Aaron's sister because both of them carry the same name, though there are several centuries between them. The Qur'an indicates that Mary (Christ's mother) had a brother whose name was Aaron (chapter 192 and a father whose name is Imran (chapter 6612). Their mother was called "the wife of Imran" (chapter 335) which eliminates any doubt that it confuses Mary, mother of Jesus, with Mary, sister of Aaron.

          Muslim scholars acknowledge what happened and they are confused and fail in their desperate attempts to justify this grave error. Their contradictory interpretations fail to help them to find a solution to this dilemma. Let us examine these interpretations to see these conflicting views.

          In the context of his comment on the Qur'anic statement that Mary is Aaron's sister (which is recorded in chapter 192, al-Baydawi (p. 405) said,

          "Oh, sister of Aaron (the prophet). And she was an offspring of some of those who were with him who belonged to the same class of brotherhood. It was also said that she was one of Aaron's descendants though there were a thousand years between them. It was said too, that he (Aaron) was a righteous or a wicked man who lived during their time (time of Mary). They likened her to him to ridicule her or to insult her."

          Yet Baydawi's statement is repealed by the Qur'an because the Qur'an did not refer to a moral relationship but stressed the literal meaning. If the Qur'an had meant to elevate Mary to the same level of Aaron, the prophet, or to the status of a daughter of Imran, why then did it mention that her mother was the wife of Imran as it is recorded in chapter 335? It is very obvious that the matter was either confused in the mind of Muhammad or of Gabriel, the angel! It is not acceptable that the Qur'an intended to say that Mary enjoys the same status as a sister of Aaron and a daughter of Imran. Therefore it is impossible to treat Mary (the mother of Jesus) as if she were the sister of Aaron and Moses.

          The contemporary scholar who translated the Qur'an which was authorized by the Saudi authorities said (in the introduction of page 47 of chapter of the Family of Imran),

          "Al Imran takes its title from v. 32, where the family of Imran' (the father of Moses) occurs as a generic name for all the Hebrew prophets from Moses to John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. This with the mention of the mother of Mary as the wife of Imran' (v. 34) and the words sister of Aaron' addressed to Mary (XIX.2 have given rise to a charge of anachronism. Some say that the prophet confused Mary, the mother of Jesus, with Mary, the sister of Moses. Most Muslims believe (on the authority of the Qur'an) that the grandfather of Jesus Christ was named Imran' which may also have been the name of the father of Moses. In Surah XIX 28 where Mary is addressed as `sister of Aaron', they hold the ancestral sense to be the more probable, while denying that there is any reason to suppose that the virgin Mary had not a brother named Aaron."

          Thus, they fail to explain to us why the Qur'an said that the mother of Mary was the wife of Imran, especially if the Qur'an intended (as they say) to show the moral relationship only. It is an obvious historical mistake, my dear reader, because Mary had no brother named Aaron."

          Exacly because of this, Muslims that say Isa is same as Jesus from Palestine just give space and reason for The cristian and Jew to say AQ is wrong, and unacurate and Prophet Muhamed with alucination..whatever.. i wont respond by my words next post-
          I will only qute from Alcoran

            Peace,

            No, I would say that the phrase is a Hebraism used in many places in the Jewish prophets. The genealogies in the Jewish scriptures do this all the time. It means that she was descended from the family of Aaron and Moses. Zachariah (Zakariya) was a Levite, which was the tribe of Aaron and Moses. The gospels called Jesus a son of Adam, which meant, as the Quran says, that he was made in the image and likeness of Adam. This, and many other Hebraisms that are seen in the Torah and Gospels, show a continuous message in the Quran that is found in the Torah and Gospels. It is important for anyone reading the Quran to understand prior scripture, or else the reader will make many mistakes in interpretation.

                Peace NOMAD,

                Lol, a Strong's Concordance is divided into sections for Hebrew words (Jewish Scriptures) and Greek words (Christian Scriptures). If you don't actually know the language, a Strong's search won't do you any good.

                I'm not really sure what your point is with all of the proof-texting, so here's all I'm going to say. If you want to transliterate the names as they are, go ahead. BUT if you aere doing i to say that they are not the same as the people in the Torah and Gospel, then you are trying to rewrite history. Make whatever argument you want about the names themselves, the context connects them to the stories found in prior scripture.

                  Every name has a meaning....Even "Khan" who said there is no meaning to his name is wrong, as the word "Khan" means "King/Leader".

                  Salaam Layth,

                  I did not say that there is no meaning to names. I said names cannot be translated, it means for calling. Even if Khan means King/Leader we don't use it for calling someone. Right? Hope you understand my point.

                  May Allah increase us all in knowledge and guide us all to His true path pr

                    Whatever opinion one may have on the persons or places who are named in the Qur'an if the "translate" them, they are putting the Qur'an accuracy at the mercy of historical interpretations or vision of facts or non facts of which we may not have certain knowledge, then anybody could say the the Qur'an was wrong because somebody's assumption on what the translation of a certain might be is attributed tot he Qur'an, whereas it is the assumption of a person. Why make the accuracy and the meaning of the Qur'an dependente on something else?

                    That is what has been done many a time to the detriment of the Qur'an like the nonsense about the angels running a way where the hair of a woman shows or whatever. That is not the Qur'an but from the Jewish tradition. Now the muslims are stuck with it. That is a bigh mistake.

                    We cannot make the Qur'an dependent on any other religious literature.

                      I understand what you are saying. There is much that has to be undone in terms of separating the hadith from the Quran. But don't make a bigger mistake by separating the Quran from its place among the other revealed texts. Maybe it is easier for me to see because I don't have the baggage of the hadiths to get rid of, but the Quran cannot properly be understood in any other way than as a part of what was revealed to Moses, to the prophets, and to Jesus.

                          Salaam,

                          I agree with Nomad. I actually have no problem that
                          Ibrahim = Abraham
                          or
                          Yusuf = Joseph
                          etc.

                          BUT
                          Idries = Enoch ??? When I first read this name on the FM translation I really had no idea to who it was referring to, I am also very curious why the translator thinks that it is the same person, because there is almost no "relevant" data in The Quran to link Idries to the Biblical Enoch.

                          Yahya = John ??? the meaning of Yahya is different from what John means.

                          Also Thalut = Saul and Zjalut = Goliath is in my opinion very confusing

                          There are also some words (not people's names) which I think can be better left untranslated for example ?Saqar? it is translated as "scorching heat" (7426) while it doesn't mean that according to The Quran. The verses next explain in full detail what the exact definition is.
                          Or "hawiya" 1019 is not "the lowest" according to 10111.
                          I know, maybe in "normal" arabic they mean "scorching heat" and "the lowest" but The Quran gives them other definitions.

                          There are much more examples.

                          Anyhow I believe that the FM translation is one of the best and I like to thank the translator for it because it was without doubt very time-consuming and a lot of hard work, thank you )

                          Salaam Bender

                          ps. I don't know if Ibrahim and Yusuf have meanings in Arabic and if the arabic meanings corresponds with the english meaning of Abraham and Joseph, would be a nice study.

When I first read this name on the FM translation I really had no idea to who it was referring to, I am also very curious why the translator thinks that it is the same person, because there is almost no "relevant" data in The Quran to link Idries to the Biblical Enoch.

                            And recall in the Book, Enoch; he was a man of truth, a prophet. And We raised him to a high place. (1956-57)

                            Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. (Genesis 524)

                            While I know there is debate on whether or not the verb in Arabic means an actual physical raising or a giving of respect, I believe there is at least one use of the verb where it literally means something/someone was raised in the air. Besides, like you said, some words in the Quran are given their own meaning despite meaning something different in Arabic.

                            Yahya = John ??? the meaning of Yahya is different from what John means.

                            Yahya is closer to the Hebrew name for John = Yahanan. In Hebrew it means "God is generous", what does Yahya mean?

                            Also Thalut = Saul and Zjalut = Goliath is in my opinion very confusing

                            And their prophet said to them "God has sent Saul to you as a king." They said "How can he have the kingship when we are more deserving than him, and he has not been given an abundance of wealth?" He said "God has chosen him over you and increased him in knowledge and physical stature." God grants His sovereignty to whom He chooses; and God is Encompassing, Knowledgeable. (2247)

                            There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Becorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjaminite, a man of wealth. And he had a son whose name was Saul, a handsome young man. There was not a man among the people of Israel more handsome than he. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people. (1 Samuel 91-2)

                            Do you see how prior scriptures help the use of the names make a lot more sense because of the context of the events? Edit while it might seem like a contradiction that the Quran says that he was not given an abundance of wealth, and the Jewish scripture says that his father was wealthy, the likelihood is that Saul was very young, likely so young that he was not eligible to receive his inheritance from his father. This would be the reason why the people in the Quran did not want him to be king.

                            ps. I don't know if Ibrahim and Yusuf have meanings in Arabic and if the arabic meanings corresponds with the english meaning of Abraham and Joseph, would be a nice study.

                            Agreed. )

                              True, separating the truth from falsehood is an obligation.

                              But here you should apply the same methodology as you do for hadith. In this regard you should first precisely define what I have underlined above.
                              What is for you "other revealed texts"?

                                  You have nailed it. Exactly, separate Qur'an from hadith. The Bible IS hadith.We must separate Qur'an from the Bible.

                                  If there are some inspired words in the bible amongst other thins that are whatever they are but not inspired, so there many inspired words in the hadiths, no less than in the Bible. In fact, there are sublime hadiths that melt the heart. The problem is exactly the same as the Bible, the hadith as a collection is a heterogeneous one, in which the best is mixed with the worst and the mediocre. Hadiths taken as a unit and bible taken as a unit are a figment.

                                  In order to get something out of them one must undo that unit and take every single piece on its merits. And that is more easily done with hadith than with the bible, because the units of the bible themselves are not homogeneous as to quality, authenticity or content. Some may be better than others, but the whole offers room for doubt as to its soundness.

                                  So no way of putting the Qur'an on a level with the Bible. The Bible, at best, is on a level with hadith.

                                  This of course I say as one convinced of the veracity of the Qur'an.

                                  Salaam

                                      So for you theres only INGIL AND TAWRAT? what about ISa Upanishads? Its also a sacred religious text.. if you read AQ and like to compere to the Darkeness hadiths of the Bible you should read also and compere the Hindu texts
                                      AQ is complete, detailed, simple, and Wordf God
                                      The rest i dont trust, ive pessad more than 10 years in search for Bible Caracters.. what i found is a SALAD

                                      AQ is complete, no need to be analized on the "light" tempt, of thge bible, thats too do the same as our Ancestors, and its not what AQ comand US

                                      Salaam, have a nice week

                                        Salaam sun

                                        Read all chaprer 3 (AAl Imran ) then read 19 (MAryam)

                                        I have. Many times.

                                        Theres no prove that theres are 2 Isa and 2 MAryam.. thats what the ibiBLIST think...

                                        There is one Isa al Masih, there are TWO Miriams. One is the sister of Moses, the other is the mother of Jesus. I never said Quran is wrong. On the contrary, I am upholding it by insisting that there be no distinction between messengers. Abraham, Moses, the prophets, Jesus, and Mohammed.

                                        So for you theres only INGIL AND TAWRAT? what about ISa Upanishads? Its also a sacred religious text.. if you read AQ and like to compere to the Darkeness hadiths of the Bible you should read also and compere the Hindu texts

                                        Upanishads are not quoted in the Quran. You are comparing apples to oranges there. Quran is complete, but Quran confirms the Torah and Gospel, does it not? Salads are good for you, you should eat them. In all seriousness, prior revelation is a different style than the Quran. It takes getting used to - just like me getting used to the style of the Quran took about a year of reading it.

                                        AQ is complete, no need to be analized on the "light" tempt, of thge bible, thats too do the same as our Ancestors, and its not what AQ comand US

                                        Quran is complete, and confirms prior revelation. It is possible to misinterpret Quran if you are not familiar with prior revelation.

                                        Salaam, have a nice week

                                        Peace.
                                        -Joel

                                          The Torah and Gospel.

                                          The Torah and Gospel are quoted more than anything else in the Quran. The hadiths are quoted 0%. There is no comparison. What about 33?

                                          -Joel

                                          First things first.

                                          The Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh, is divided into three parts (1) the five books of the Torah ("teaching" or "law&quot, comprising the origins of the Israelite nation, its laws and its covenant with the God of Israel; (2) the Nevi'im ("prophets&quot, containing the historic account of ancient Israel and Judah focusing on conflicts between the Israelites and other nations, and conflicts among Israelites ? specifically, struggles between believers in "the Lord God" and believers in foreign gods, and the criticism of unethical and unjust behavior of Israelite elites and rulers; and (3) the Ketuvim ("writings&quot poetic and philosophical works such as the Psalms and the Book of Job

                                          The Christian Bible is divided into two parts. The first is called the Old Testament, containing the (minimum) 39 books of Hebrew Scripture, and the second portion is called the New Testament, containing a set of 27 books.

                                          Do you think when ever AQ refers to tawrat and Injeel it refers to these 39 + 27 books?

                                          regards
