      Thank you for sharing that,
      I never knew about Venus and it's role with Abraham.
      What an insight.
      Small things taken with appreciation.

        But the fact remains that he had seen 11 planets. The question is can we see-perceive even in dream a thing which does not exist in reality somewhere? What he had seen also happened in reality. Can neurons create and pass on a signal for storage in the memory without existence of a thing somewhere?

        But of course we can... Please learn about lucid dreaming, and hopefully you will come to master the art and witness for yourself that you can indeed see that of which does not exist in the physical realm we live in.

            Question equally applies to what is termed "lucid dreaming". What he saw also apparently did not exist in the physical realm. He did see celestial bodies----a physical fact---but observed-perceived them as reverents for him. Thereafter, the happenings turn out to be exactly matching the dream.
            Nothing initiates without there being a stimuli.

                Shalom Aleikhem,

                Would you mind explaining the following excerpt from your article

                "The Arabic language is portrayed as......................, the language that makes things individually and collectively distinct and differentiated from others. The language {}of our Guide Lord, Last Messenger has the capacity of transmitting and making the perception reach to the listener and reader, in the aforesaid manner."

                Tell me which interpretation is ok

                -What I understood while reading it is that Arabic language is ofcourse very nice and it is the language of Allah and the language of Muhammad.

                • Muhammad is your Guide Lord. And his language was Arabic which is a nice language. ( i highly doubt this one but its based on the way you wrote The language {}of our Guide Lord, Last Messenger)

                Please help me out if you can.

                Peace

                  Student of Allah,

                  Assalamo Alaikum,

                  Thereby, for reason of its universality and permanence, We have certainly but made it-Grand Qur'aan easy to comprehend by transcribing it in the mother tongue/Arabic language of you Muhammad .
                  The objective of such transcription is that they might at their own conveniently secure perception of it in memory, recall it and orally orate to others.

                    Peace Mazhar.

                    What does " . mean? I have heard it said but I have never understood what it means.

                    Peace again.

                      Yes it is definitely Muhammeds mother tongue... However I wouldn't go as far to say it's Allah's language as Allah knows all languages of all of mankind and of ever other living being in the universe.
                      When I read the Quran I simply got the impression that Allah gave Muhammed the Quran in Arabic because that was the language he understood and it's also a beautiful language as described.. I pray in English because I feel more comfortable and can't speak Arabic but doesn't mean Allah doesn't understand. Forgive me Student Of Allah if I misinterpretted what you were trying to say.. I'm in a whole different country at a very late time xD

                      Peace peace

                        Shalom Aleikhem sushi,

                        My post can be summarized as

                        1. Are you claiming that God has a language and its Arabic ?

                        2. Are you claiming that Muhammad is the Lord ?

                        You answered the first one, and the second one is too ridiculous to even ask..lol. Anyways, take care

                        @Mazhar

                        I must say, your translations are very creative.

                        Peace

                            I don't know the thought behind while using "very creative".

                            Alexander Fraser Tytler (1747-1813), is the author of Essay on the Principles of Translation. He laid down three principles

                            1. A translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work;
                            2. The style and manner of writing should be of the same character as that of the original;
                            3. A translation should have all the ease of original composition.

                            These Rules suggest that "the translator is not supposed to make additions, amendments, or annotations; that the translator should not play the game of rewriting an original text so that it says "what the author meant" or "what the author should have said." .

                            Different philosophies are advocated for translations, like literal method, sometimes known as formal equivalence. In this method an attempt is made to translate using words that correspond as exactly as possible in the two languages allowing for the grammatical differences. It, however, does not pay a great deal of attention to context. Another extreme method is paraphrasing, sometimes called making a free or loose translation. Problem with paraphrasing is that the translator may not accurately convey the intent of the speaker, especially where precision of language is required. Therefore, many translations take a middle ground, sometimes known as dynamic equivalence, trying to convey the thoughts and intent behind the original as close as possible.

                            I will be obliged if you kindly let me know the Ayah where I have tried to be very creative, in the sense of using or showing use of the imagination to create new ideas. Thanks

                              Take it easy, what I meant is your translations are not similar to the usual ones a person encounters in general. Sometimes, I feel as though when your style of translation evolves, we will soon find it filled with "/" signs and every single sentence will exceed multiple paragraphs depending on the possible meanings according to dictionary/cultural aspects/historical aspects/etc.

                              Nothing negative though, its just an observation. By the way, is there a way you can upgrade your website and transform it to a website that looks and feels like a modern day one ? I mean the layout,style,options,etc, in short.. upgrade it to 2012 standard. I must tell you that in general, it always takes me a while to figure out your words, its just that you dont express them in conventional ways. You got a very personal style . )

                              May God guide us all to His straight path.

                              Peace
