New article: What is the meaning of "al masjid al haram"?
-
peace imran,
so is this similar kind of situation like in chapter 2 verse 187.. ?
2187 is a better example, but only issue with it is to seal the deal it needs God to amend a prior instruction but AFAIK that prior instruction (i.e. during abstinence periods do not have spousal relations in the night) does not exist.
So again, there is no equivalent example that I can see.

It is a passive verb. Mentioned activity was already permissible. They were not availing it, instead were considering it as non-permissible.

peace brothers wakas bhai and mazhar bhai,
thanks for your replies i will take some more time to study all of related concepts.

5812
A command was given and as always the Merciful gave exemption for those who could not afford to give sadaqa.5813
Here those believers were assured, against their apprehensions that they did not give sadaqa, that Allah has already reverted upon them in 4812 (red part above).Brother Mazhar His words never change. Salaam.

peace,
Since no-one had a reply to my previous question, let's move onto the next
2149 and 2150 clearly state "wherever thou depart so turn thy wajh/face/consideration towards al masjid al haram". It does not say do this "during salat" even though that is the most common interpretation. The reason why this is inserted in brackets in translations is that the verse would make no sense without this insertion, i.e. it would fail.
Not only the above, no tafsir/exegesis that I have read attempts to explain why it links this statement to "departing" from somewhere. What has that got to do with facing a direction during prayer? Further, obviously, when one departs to go from A to B, they face in whatever direction they are travelling in, not another direction. It would be impractical and effectively impossible to face some other direction.
To those who believe in the common understanding, do you have an explanation for this?
-
Peace Wakas.
You mean no one has given you a satisfying example.
Suppose no one can give you another example in Qoran similar to the one you proposed, then what are you deducing?
Maybe the subject could be the only one of its kind in the whole Qoran and there are no other similar cases?Also I would like to know why have chosen "depart" as a translation for "Kharajta"?
GOD bless you.
Peace. -

There is no "wherever thou depart" in Arabic text.

peace GL,
You mean no one has given you a satisfying example.
No, I was referring to no response to my previous question, which was
peace all,
Let's now move onto another point. To those who believe in the Traditional version of events (i.e. believers were praying towards Jerusalem, then switched to cuboid called Kabbah).
The Quran clearly states in 2150 that a reason given for the apparent change in qiblah is "so not will be for the people against you debate". In other words, doing this change will result in less/no debate/argument.
Can anyone explain why a united group (i.e. believers/jews/christians/etc all praying together in one direction, then believers disuniting and changing their prayer direction) will result in less debate/argument.
As to my first question, no-one gave specifics, e.g.
x in verse A
is amended to
Y in verse BSure, they made claims this happened but they did not satisfy me. If you have specifics let us know.
Suppose no one can give you another example in Qoran similar to the one you proposed, then what are you deducing?
Maybe the subject could be the only one of its kind in the whole Qoran and there are no other similar cases?Already answered here https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9604467.msg417924#msg417924
Also I would like to know why have chosen "depart" as a translation for "Kharajta"?
Choose whichever meaning you want, e.g. "set out / go out / start forth / come forth / depart etc" then with whatever meaning you choose, you can try answer the question if you want.

Please translate "wamin haythu kharajta".
There is no "wherever thou depart" in Arabic text.

Firstly. what type of sentence is it? It is a conditional sentence. Condition followed by apodosis clause.
The verb "depart" has a Source location and Goal location. "Wherever" mentions the Goal, not the Source. Thereby it is not what the Arabic preposition Min says.
Recommencing/Conjunction particle.
Prepositional Phrase It relates to the following verb. The preposition signifies Source location of departure; hence it is connected with verbs which convey the idea of separation, departure, moving out. Its object is Adverb of location, always in construct with a following sentence.Verbal sentence Verb Perfect; second person; singular; masculine; Subject pronoun, referent for the addressee, the elevated Messenger, in nominative state; - Verbal Noun.
This sentence is grammatically in genitive state being construct to preceding Adverb. It stems from Root . It signifies exit, leaving a place, getting out, emerging from. This frame portrays moving of an object away from a Source location. The object may be an entity which moves under its own power. The Source may be expressed or it may be understood from context, but its existence is always implied by the departing word itself.
Non-core features are the circumstances which describe the state of world at a particular time and space which is independent of the event itself and the participants of action; the explanation or motivation for why the object departs; the Time at which the departure takes place.
This conditional clause coneys this to the addressee
Take note O you the Messenger! from whatever direction you would have exited it (the Sacred Mosque),
Mentioning it as conditional clause with perfect verb the Time of exit is some future moment. This structuring reassures the addressee that this Exit will certainly happen in the future after he having visited its Source location, which is mentioned in the Apodosis clause.
The apodosis clause when the conditional clause would have been accomplished
thereby, at goal location cause your self face to face the dimension of the Sacred Mosque.

Mazhar claims "There is no "wherever thou depart" in Arabic text."
Then translates it as (I inserted "thou" in his translation as it is the singular of "you", to make it simpler) "from whatever direction thou would have exited it (the Sacred Mosque)"
Questions
- where is the "it" in the Arabic? By saying "The Source may be expressed or it may be understood from context, but its existence is always implied by the departing word itself." it seems you are claiming it is implied. Please state clearly if your view is it must refer to "al masjid al haram" and it is impossible for it not to.
- please provide a reference for your translation of "haythu" as "whatever direction", and state clearly that it is impossible for it to mean "wherever" if that is your view.

Seems not studied, just skimmed.
"Wherever thou depart". Pl reread "wherever" which is the focus word. Preposition Min signifies Source location not Goal location.

The apodosis clause mentions it. Adverb and verb both imply moving out of a specific place which is explicit in the same sentence.

You can consult any grammar book to ascertain use of haiso.
1- With a preposition Min, from where, from the place where, from the direction where.
2- With a following Ma, wherever. -

"It" comes from secondary sources though brother Mazhar would not accept it. I have experienced it in some discussions with him. Let me quote translation from his website to show the influence of secondary sources
Indeed this is certainly Qur'aan which is characteristically exalted - guarantor/sustainer of life?
Its second characteristic is that it is scripted within a book whose prominent feature is that it is concealed and well protected.
People do not touch it (Qur'aan written on papers) except those who have rendered themselves in physical purity/having taken bath (after intercourse-ejaculation).
The piecemeal dispatch and delivery of Grand Qur'aan is from the Sustainer Lord of the known/existing Worlds.
He has translated as "those who have rendered themselves in physical purity/having taken bath (after intercourse-ejaculation)".
No offence intended brother Mazhar.

Since majority of people see only words and are not aware as to their function in the sentence, I do describe when it is adjectival, a noun portraying the characteristic of principle. Do I need to say function words do carry meanings.
What I have stated giving full meanings of words, can you find it in any so called secondaru source?
You have not determined what is the word If you would have seen its details at the end of page you visited you might have agreed.

And perhaps you also do not know the meanings which are added to the base verb when it is Form-II. It means to render an attribute to the object which is signified by the verbal noun. Passive participle also means an entity upon which an action is carried out.

It is not about Form II or Passive Participle but about taking as physical purity. Lets see few examples from Quran

........3333
.........These are in Form II and do they mean physical purity?
Sorry brother Wakas for the distraction.

The basic perception infolded in it is to make something clean or pure from dirt or filth. The basic job done is to segregate oneself, a thing from the impurities clung to it/around it.
The basic perception infolded in Root " " is to wash with water signifying the removing of dirt, or filth or the like thereof by making water to run over it resulting in cleansing/free from unpleasantness-impurity. And the basic perception infolded in the Root is also to make something clean or pure from dirt or filth. In both, the basic job done is to segregate oneself, one thing from the impurities clung to it/around it. The distinction and peculiarity, however, of the two is that " " is restrictively used for corporeal cleaning/purification with water while Root " " has connotation both corporeal and ideological and can be attained both with the help of water and otherwise.

- please provide a reference for your translation of "haythu" as "whatever direction", and state clearly that it is impossible for it to mean "wherever" if that is your view.
RE 1)
You never explicitly clarified like I asked, but it's ok, I will assume you are claiming that it MUST refer to exiting/departing "al masjid al haram".- no translation I read states this (but perhaps you picked up on something others did not)
- I will ask those more knowledgeable of Arabic than I to see what they think about your claim
Please note, I haven't even addressed the consequence of your translation, i.e. whatever direction one exits Sacred Mosque one must turn to face it. I consider this nonsensical, but I'll reserve judgement til I check your claims.
RE 2)
Again, you never clarified like I asked but it's ok, as we can see you stated it can mean "and from where". I will check up on your "ma" claim.You seem to imply there is a significant difference between "where" and "wherever", and "depart" and "exit". I don't really see much difference but I will see if I can get clarification on your claims.
