    Dear All,Salam
    If you go to Islamic awareness and then to "Sana Quran",you can see that qurans written during 1st century Hijrah do not have sura fatiha.Also go to "quran Complex"in Saudi Arabia,I mean their SITE on internet,you can see pictures of many qurans,of course older qurans,pictures show only the first page,and you will see that many qurans start with sura baqar the 2nd sura now known ti us starting with "alif lam meem".
    Also present quran says,"quran and seven oft repeated ayats"this also tells us that quran and seven ayats are two different writtings.But after the firsst century people added this sura as a part of quran perhaps because of its repeating in prayers.Thanks.

      Good posting - I also noticed that the verse said Quran AND the 7 oft repeated verses and had the same thoughts when I was studying the early Qurans.

        They are the part of the Miscellany of Grand Qur'aan.

        Moreover, the fact remains that We did give you the Messenger Seven distinctly elaborative Aa'ya'at-Verbal Unitary Passages selected-excepted from the Binary-Symmetrical-analogous Miscellany.

        Moreover, it also remains a certain fact that We have given the Grand Qur'aan to you the Messenger .

          I see you presenting your study as if you know what it?s all about. In fact I feel sorry for you that you are at a standstill and do not seem to move towards learning, which should not end until your last breath. In most discussions you just slap bang your understanding, while not even knowing the very basics.
          I suggest you take a look at all the verses where sura and aayaat are mentioned and, for a start learn the difference betwen the two. I give you a reference from what I?ve learned and invite you to refute my understanding.

          The Book (al-kitaab)
          from it are
          aayaat (signs, symbols)
          muhkamaat (defined); they are the mother, womb, matrix of the Book (al-kitaab) and others are mutashaabiHaat (similar but undefined)

          I site here few verses from the Qur'an so that you can pay attention to what I am saying;
          (applying Sahih International for translation of the verses below)

          aayaat/aayat

          15;5 And We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, , "Bring out your people from darknesses into the light and remind them of the days of Allah." Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful

          27; 52 So those are their houses, desolate because of the wrong they had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know.

          ha, Meem(1) The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.(2)
          Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers(3)

          A sura

          241 A sura which We have sent down and which We have ordained in it have We sent down Clear Signs, in order that ye may receive admonition.

          47; 20 Those who believe say, "Why has a surah not been sent down? But when a precise surah is revealed and fighting is mentioned therein, you see those in whose hearts is hypocrisy looking at you with a look of one overcome by death. And more appropriate for them

          ALLAAH wrote A Book called The Book (al-kitaab) and A Reading/Recitation called The Reading/Recitation (al- Qur?aan) that shall bring it into existence. (al-amiyr's posts)
          Moreover, the fact remains hmm;
          You can not make the deaf to hear; however you can teach them to read, using symbols/sign language.
          You can not make a blind person to see, yet you can enable him to read, using his fingers to read the signs, symbols (aayaat)in the Braille script

          salaam

              My post above explains in simple terms what an aayat is, or what ayaat mean. Now you explain to me what do you propose that ayaat is supposed to mean here ???; Aa'ya'at-Verbal Unitary Passages selected-excepted from the Binary-Symmetrical-analogous Miscellany.

                Is it possible?
                What does it mean?

                Does it mean that the Qur'an was assembled many years, even a century after Muhammad, and it was a work of a group, or what is all the fuss about?

                  Its Root is

                  The basic perception infolded in the Root of is that of a physical mark, indication, landmark, corporeal, real thing having dimensions; or a discernible sign which one can perceive and save in memory with reference to its surroundings and dimensions. Thereby, what is achieved is a bit-unit of information. Nothing can be perceived and stored in memory without relating it to something else.
                  Moreover, everything has two aspects, one apparent and visible perceivable through vision; and the other is invisible but integral part of that thing. Therefore, this Root signifies any apparent thing inseparable from a thing not equally apparent so that when one perceives the former he perceives the other to a certain extent which he cannot otherwise perceive.

                  This is the visual side of learning knowledge. The other source of knowing and perceiving things is verbal. When the creator of a thing who knows absolutely the visible and invisible aspect of that thing verbally narrates about that thing, such verbal statement is " " in the true sense of the word.

                    My Dear GODsubmitter,
                    I just read,your reply to my posting titled as above.You wrote that was quran assembled after a century.No it was not so,quran was there,but without sura fatiha as sura one.Then about a century later,scholars of that time found that this beautiful sura must be a part of quran,and be placed at the beginning of quran.
                    just google,"quran complex" and go to quran pictures and see yourself that many older qurans start with sura baqar.And read in present quran that indicates that "quran and 7 oft repeated ayaats" are two different items,one is not included into other.
                    And feel free to ask anything which is still not clear.Thanks

                      Quran doesnt use the word ayat but rather mathani

                      (1587)

                      What do you think the 7 oft repeated mathani are if it isn't the fatiha verses? do you believe the fatiha isn't part of the Quran, that it is part of the mathani and later in time it was recorded in Quran? or something else?

Therefore, this Root signifies any apparent thing inseparable from a thing not equally apparent so that when one perceives the former he perceives the other to a certain extent which he cannot otherwise perceive

                        ='Symbol'?

                        This is the visual side of learning knowledge. The other source of knowing and perceiving things is verbal.

                          Salaam Mazhar
                          word Mathani is used only two times

                          1587 And We have given you seven of the dual (mathani), and the great Qur'an.
                          3923 God has sent down the best narrative, a Book that is similar, dual(mathania). The skins of those who are concerned towards their Lord shiver from it, then their skins and their hearts soften up to the remembrance of God. Such is the guidance of God; He guides with it whoever He wills. And for whoever God misguides, then none can guide him.

                          so we have not to be misguided by mysterious senses.
                          Mathania seems to me to mean double meaning or different levels or understanding.

                          Concerning the number 7, used also for the the 7 skies, it seems that he have also meaning of underteminate number.
                          this meaning seems to appears here
                          6512 God who has created seven heavens and of earths like that (mithlahonna); the command is sent down between them; that you may know that God is capable of all things, and that God has encompassed all things with His knowledge.

                          so seven pairs can be totally different meaning. A mouthanna meaning as we would say.
                          15-87 could then mean we gave you multiple exemples with different meanings and the great quran.

                          Peace

                              My Dear noshirk and Farida,AOA
                              You are right,the word "Mathani" is mentioned at two places,but then why are you suggesting a third place ,that is 6512 here the word used is "Mathalhonna" which means "like this" the basic word is "mathal" which means "like".
                              But in "7 oft repeated ayaats" this word "mathal" is not involved,but another word "thani" is used ,and thani means "second" 2nd or it may also mean "the other one".
                              may some one help if I am wrong?thanks

                                Totally agree.
                                Quran is sealed by God and Muhammad was the sealer.
                                that's a mathania.
                                Sense 1 Words of God are protected against change. No one can add or remove nothing. That's a promise of God. That's Kalimatou ALLAH
                                Sense 2 Sense of words are sealed. God promised us that he will himself explain it to us (bayan ). That mean that Quran is the best dictionnary for Quran. By confronting verses and uses of words by Allah himslef, we can understand what he meant and nobody can change that sense and try to explain us that a word mean another thing. That's a promise of God. That's Kalimatou ALLAH

                                  My Dear noshirk and Farida,AOA
                                  You are right,the word "Mathani" is mentioned at two places,but then why are you suggesting a third place ,that is 6512 here the word used is "Mathalhonna" which means "like this" the basic word is "mathal" which means "like".
                                  But in "7 oft repeated ayaats" this word "mathal" is not involved,but another word "thani" is used ,and thani means "second" 2nd or it may also mean "the other one".
                                  may some one help if I am wrong?thanks

                                  Salaam

                                  Mathal means like or similar or example. I mentionned 65-12 only to notice that 7 can be used in a sense of underminate number. I have read in book of Maurice Bucaille that seven meant underminate number in ancient cultures. 7 would be the "x" of ancients (it is to verify).

                                  Now, as you noticed, it is true that there is a similarity between MATHAL, MOUTHANNA, MOUTHALLATH...

                                  Peace

                                    Totally agree.
                                    Quran is sealed by God and Muhammad was the sealer.
                                    that's a mathania.
                                    Sense 1 Words of God are protected against change. No one can add or remove nothing. That's a promise of God. That's Kalimatou ALLAH
                                    Sense 2 Sense of words are sealed. God promised us that he will himself explain it to us (bayan ). That mean that Quran is the best dictionnary for Quran. By confronting verses and uses of words by Allah himslef, we can understand what he meant and nobody can change that sense and try to explain us that a word mean another thing. That's a promise of God. That's Kalimatou ALLAH

                                    Concerning El Fatiha, if it is there, then God Wanted it to be there.

                                    Couldn't agree with you more. As for Question Who are the lost and who are those who God is angry of them ?
                                    allaahu "alim, we can only try our best to increase our knowledge and seek guidance from ALLAAH and live within the frame work given to us in the Quran.

                                      My Dear GODsubmitter,
                                      I just read,your reply to my posting titled as above.You wrote that was quran assembled after a century.No it was not so,quran was there,but without sura fatiha as sura one.Then about a century later,scholars of that time found that this beautiful sura must be a part of quran,and be placed at the beginning of quran.
                                      just google,"quran complex" and go to quran pictures and see yourself that many older qurans start with sura baqar.And read in present quran that indicates that "quran and 7 oft repeated ayaats" are two different items,one is not included into other.
                                      And feel free to ask anything which is still not clear.Thanks

                                      Thank you for your anwser.

                                      But I thought that Qur'an "came down" full and complete with the first sura AlFatiha included as the miracle of code 19 shows that it is a proof that it is from God !

                                        Dear All,Salam
                                        If you go to Islamic awareness and then to "Sana Quran",you can see that qurans written during 1st century Hijrah do not have sura fatiha.Also go to "quran Complex"in Saudi Arabia,I mean their SITE on internet,you can see pictures of many qurans,of course older qurans,pictures show only the first page,and you will see that many qurans start with sura baqar the 2nd sura now known ti us starting with "alif lam meem".
                                        Also present quran says,"quran and seven oft repeated ayats"this also tells us that quran and seven ayats are two different writtings.But after the firsst century people added this sura as a part of quran perhaps because of its repeating in prayers.Thanks.

                                        Salaam marifhaq
                                        My first reaction when i have read your post is rejection. for me it was impossible that something not given by God was included in Quran.

                                        However when i read again the ayats 11 to 17 and 1587, it seems possible to me that you are partially right

                                        1587 And We have given you seven of the dual, and the great Qur'an.

                                        it is clear, from the verse, that the seven pairs are given by God himself. They are so also revealed by GOD.
                                        However, it seems also, from 1587, that they are not Part of what God consider as Quran.

                                        When we read 11 to 17, it is clear that they are words to put in mount of someone speaking to God.
                                        We can then understand them as a kind of preface of Muhammad.
                                        This can explain why Bismillah is included in the sourate. Bismillah is a sentence that a rassool has to say (in the name of my sender....).
                                        Bismillah seems to be separated in other sourates.
                                        Bismillah is not part of Quran since God cannot says "in name of myself".
                                        However Bismillah is also word selected by God. Bismillah is clearly validated as words choosen by God tu put in mouth of who is to pronunce words of God by verse 2730

                                        my own conclusion is then Fatiha is composed of words choosen for us by God, they have been revelated with quran, they are not part of what God call quran but part of what we should call quran. Fatiha is then both part and not part of Quran.

                                        it is a bit complicated but i think that we have to learn how to deal with multiple levels of understanding

                                        Peace

                                          i will give you the interpretation of Jinn/cheikh Dukhani.

                                          Lost are those who reject words of God. They are atheists. They don't even know why they are here.
                                          Those whose God is angry with them are those who know why they are here but corrupt and pollute the message/Amana. It is the idolaters/moshrikoun. Shirk is the only thing that God will note forgive.

                                          Whe can also find this classification in the first verses of sourate 2 , from 22 to 220

                                          Notice also that opposition between Muslim (who receive) and Mo'omin (who take care of what he receive) confort this understanding.
                                          Really, mathania are multiple is quran.

                                          and, as you said, Allah aalam.

                                          Peace
