    The word used, sparsely, in the Qur'an to say virgin is bikr

    The Quranic term Bikr () doesn't mean 'virgin'!
    Rather it means 'premature' (Aramaic , )
    Who has ever heard of a virgin cow before!? (268) Chuckle!


    Btw Bashar (&#1585 means 'Mortal'

          I found Quranic evidence which proofs that the history of Islam need to be revamp hmm. I am not sure about this and that if anyone can shed some lights !

          High possibility that Prophet Muhammad, was born before the 4th Century of the Common Era and the Holy Quran was sent down in the 4th Century in order to counter the distortion of the 1st Book of ALLAH, which comprises of the Torah and Injeel by the Roman Christians as confirmed by the Quranic verse below

          Peace Hizbullah,

          If you are comfortable using historical references a good question would be "who was emperor of Rome during
          Muhammad's lifetime" since Rome and other nations had many references to the Roman empire. You could also
          compare other rulers, wars that were fought, or who received letters from Muhammad etc.,.

          God bless

          peace

            Yes, it is a good question. However, the Quran never mentioned the names of the Emperors of the Roman Empire nor any exchange of letters between the leaders. But the Quran possibly recorded down the speech of these people or events relating to war. For example the Quran mentioned about the Romans in Chapter 30.

            1. Alif Lam Mim. 2. Victorious the Romans. 3. In the LOW LAND, and they, after their victory, will be defeated. 4. In a few years. The decision of the matter, before and after is only with ALLAH. And on that day, the believers will rejoice. 5. With the help of ALLAH. He helps whom He wills, and HE is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. 6. A promise from ALLAH, and ALLAH fails not in HIS promise, but most men know not.

            The above military campaign is also recorded in collaboration with Quran 0841 ? 42

            .....if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the Day of Criterion - the day when the two armies met. And Allah , over all things, is competent.

            When you were on the near side of the enemy, and they were on the farther side of the enemy, and the caravan was LOWER than you. If you had made an appointment, you would have missed the appointment. But so that Allah might accomplish a matter already destined - that those who perished would perish upon evidence and those who lived would live upon evidence; and indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

            The above military campaign carried out by the Prophet is also recorded in the Quran 03152 to 155.

            Historical evidence also proofs that the Roman empire was in a deteriorate position in the 4th Century, especially in the western part of the Empire where the Germanic tribes revolted against the Romans. Another Roman enemy was Attila the Hun, was the ruler of the Huns from 434 until his death in 453. He was leader of the Hunnic Empire , which stretched from the Ural River to the Rhine River and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea .During his reign he was one of the most feared enemies of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires. He crossed the Danube twice and plundered the Balkans , but was unable to take Constantinople . His unsuccessful campaign in Persia was followed in 441 by an invasion of the Eastern Roman Empire, the success of which emboldened Attila to invade the West . He also attempted to conquer Roman Gaul (modern France), crossing the Rhine in 451 and marching as far as Aurelianum (Orl?ans ) before being defeated at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains.

              In fact the Qur'an does not use any of those words for Maryam, or for anybody else, nor there is a single word that Maryam uses to say that she is chaste. It uses a negative, "I am not baghiya" (translated as "unchaste". The virgin part up to that point she makes it clear saying that "no basharhas touched me".

              The word BAGHIYA, means promiscuous woman. So Maryam said "Nor am I a promiscuous woman". This proofs that she was not a "loose woman" as per your post 52

                  Red If you could read Arabic instead of depending on English you could know that both Arabic words are different.

                  As per your translation above, the Arabic words in the aayaat are
                  For 'low land' .
                  For 'lower' .

                  May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr

                    ...Historical evidence from the earliest Christian version of this story comes from the Syrian bishop, Jacob of Sarugh (c. 450-521), in the 6th-century.

                    Another significant Quranic proof ?

                    AQ 1825 - And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine

                    Historical evidence shows that the persecution of the so called Christians in the Roman Empire occurred over a period of about three centuries until the 313 Edict of Milan issued by Emperors Constantine and Licinius. This was the beginning of the era of official Christianity. A new religion was born. The Sleepers of the Cave slept in the year 13 and woke up 300 years later, in the year 313. 313 CE was the period where the persecutions to the believers stop. ALLAH THE EXALTED extended the lives of the Sleepers to another 9 years. They died in year 322. The 1st Nicene Creed was in the year 325.

                      The Quran is the verification of all past truths. The so called Old and New Testament are a mixture of truths and falsehoods whose content is measured in relation to the Quran. That goes for history of this world. If these finds verification in the Quran then it is declared true. However if it is negated by the Quran then it is surely false. It is not for me to allow or disallow

                                Peace brother,

                                What could be the possible reason for Allah to use two different words when He wanted to say the same thing? To create confusion? nope

                                May Allah bless you pr

                                What is so confusing? I do not see any confusion!
                                Peace

                                  No, that's conjecture same as "they" were conjecturing in the verse...

                                  1825 .. and increase they nine of

                                  The answer to assumptive speculation and conjecture is given thus...

                                  1826 say the god of knowledge in what remained they to him unseen the heavens and the earth...

                                  See exact same word usage in below verse ...

                                  Salam,

                                  I know what you meant, let me explain my point

                                  AQ 1825 - And they tarried in the Cave three hundred years, and they added nine more.

                                  The red sentence - ALLAH confirms that they live in the cave for 300 years and green sentence - that they added another 9 years to how long the sleepers had live in the cave.

                                  Say 'God knows very well how long they tarried. To Him belongs the Unseen in the heavens and in the earth. How well He sees! How well He hears! They have no protector, apart from Him, and He associates in His government no one.'

                                  The prophet was asked to say that ALLAH knows well how long they had lived. That ALLAH was there as a witness.

                                  390 ... furthermore increase they disbelief/rejection of

                                  You believe Heraclius/Byzantium and Khosrau/Persia, eclipse and battle in 613 was all conjecture, chronology a lie?

                                  What about the verse I had shown in Post 1, if the Prophet lived in the 7th Century, that means the Quran was sent 300 years after Nicea, why is it in the PRESENT TENSE AND NOT PAST TENSE. Please explain to me, thank you in advance.

                                  No where in the Quran that mentioned about the Persians. The Persian Empire had already been destroyed by the Greco-Romans in the 300 BC. The Greco-Romans were the super power of the ME from Britanica to the Indus River Valley! Greco-Romans edicts were found in Afghanistan.

                                    The Quran is the verification of all past truths. The so called Old and New Testament are a mixture of truths and falsehoods whose content is measured in relation to the Quran. That goes for history of this world.

                                    Agreed

                                    If these finds verification in the Quran then it is declared true. However if it is negated by the Quran then it is surely false. It is not for me to allow or disallow

                                    I'm fine with historical references, but there is no Attila the Hun and his borders as per Quran! You should have
                                    simply stated " an unsubstantiated person". To solve this problem allow historical references that do not contradict
                                    the Quran (like letters and other historical documents, add a grain of salt ( meaning, 'with reservations, skeptically' )
                                    and then leave the findings for the reader to accept or reject.

                                    Still you are finding your verification of the Qurans origin by highlighting the Counsel of Nicaea, if that were the case,
                                    one might argue that the Quran could have been written earlier than the date you quote by using previous biblical
                                    apocryphal Gospels texts and translations Therefore in the end you end up attributing the Qurans origin to dates
                                    not supported by Quran but only via speculation. 2/79 in my opinion does not support your thesis.

                                    God bless

                                      and now you do not? Tell me why 0279 and 0378 are written in the imperfect tense if the Quran was sent down in the 7th Century as believe by 90% of the Muslims ?

                                      Why did the Prophet warned the people to uphold the Taurat and Injeel and what is sent down to the Prophet (056 - ?

                                      Why did the Prophet warned the Israelis and the Jews to refer to the Taurat - (0393; 0543) - ?

                                      Off course there is no Attila the Hun as there is no Constantine or Heraclius or Khosrau mentioned in the Quran. What I have shown is to proof that the Romans was in a deteriorate position in the 4th Century and even further deteriorate in the 5th Century, as promise of ALLAH in 3001.

                                      The Ghassanid and Lakhmid, both Yemeni tribes migrated to the north in the 4th Century. Why? To become Roman and Persian puppets respectively as mentioned in history? Definitely not! Both tribes migrated to the north of Arabia and not invaded with an army. They were the ones who spread Islam throughout the Middle East. Please read Post 10.

                                      Peace

                                        You agreed

                                        Yes I agreed with what follows

                                        The Quran is the verification of all past truths. The so called Old and New Testament are a mixture of truths and falsehoods whose content is measured in relation to the Quran. That goes for history of this world.

                                        But I do not agree with

                                        Selecting parts of history that agree with your hypothesis, even though our honorable Quran is an
                                        infallible source, there are other historical data that can be used to verify the past.

                                        Also please clarify from you in red

                                        The so called Old and New Testament are a mixture of truths and falsehoods
                                        and
                                        Why did the Prophet warned the people to uphold the Taurat and Injeel and what is sent down to the Prophet
                                        (056 - ?

                                        Peace Hizbullah,

                                        I am simply stating that you have not proven your case, and quoting 2/79 does not prove that
                                        " The Quran was sent down in the 4th Century" only speculation, which is fine as long as it is
                                        not masqueraded as absolute truth but a theory of yours which readers can agree or disagree.

                                        Your endeavors are appreciated, please continue.

                                        God bless
