    A donkey's voice is loud and harsh. https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWS4Eu8E2z4

    I guess she was right. Now I want to cry.

        Old thread, but still is relevant.

        Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and say, "Where are My 'partners' for whom you used to oppose?" Those who were given knowledge will say, "Indeed disgrace, this Day, and evil are upon the disbelievers" 1627

          Peace.
          6817
          We have tested them like we tested the owners of the garden who swore that they will harvest it in the morning.

          6818
          They were so absolutely sure.

          6819
          A passing (storm) from your Lord passed by it while they were asleep.

          6820
          By morning, it was barren.

          6821
          They called on each other in the morning.

          6822
          "Let us harvest the crop."

          6823
          On their way, they confided to each other.

          6824
          That from then on, none of them would be poor.

          6825
          They were so absolutely sure of their harvest.

          6826
          But when they saw it, they said, "We were so wrong!

          6827
          "Now, we have nothing!"

          6828
          The righteous among them said, "If only you had glorified (God)!"

          6829
          They said, "Glory be to our Lord. We have transgressed."

          6830
          They started to blame each other.

          6831
          They said, "Woe to us. We sinned.

          6832
          "May our Lord grant us a better one. We repent to our Lord."

          6833
          Such was the requital. But the retribution of the Hereafter is far worse, if they only knew.

          I used to wonder about this story! Now, I reflect on it with a smile?

          GOD bless.
          Peace.

            I personally dont see any humor, rather extremely worried. Especially the story good logic has referenced...if anything God is quite strict, fear bubbles inside wondering whether we'll make it through the hereafter or not..very easy to end up in horrific hell...

            But maybe i havent understood the story.

              In that Pagan interpretation well sure god is very strict and humorless, it has to reflect a very sectarian doctrine and lifestyle as it is their worldly portrayal of Allah that you read. If you look among Sunni or Shia adherents you see within their orthodox that they are completely numbed.

              But Quran does contain quite some humor actually, I even had myself a real laugh at a point when Rabb was very humorous. It depends on whether the interpreter sought what Quran says or to briefly fit one's own flimsy doctrine into it.

                Peace AW.

                Sometimes in fear there is humor .

                But taking GOD seriously is no joke. That I agree with.

                GOD bless you.
                Peace.

                  I just wanted to share this. When reading it I really laughed out loud. Humor inside Quran

                  3119 And be humble in how you walk and lower your voice. For the harshest of all voices is the voice of the donkeys

                  Maybe people know more examples of this. I'm interested to find out.

                  Peace!

                      "Mo the Fish", highlighting "Men, voice of the -Donkey-"
                      Splendid,indeed.

                      GOD bless you.
                      Peace

                        Peace AW,Bender.

                        Sorry about my weird sense of humor.

                        I hope my post reminded you of the day of judgement,even if it did not make you smile.

                        May the Lord help me to do better next time.( I mean to make you laugh, not sad!)

                        GOD bless.
                        Peace.

                          I appreciate the humor in this. Copyright Rabb.

                          And then tell a lesson of the Precious of what is Being advised for you concerning murder with a puzzling expression to take this seriously by telling ?Seek refuge in Being from becoming emotional?.

                          Do express that the will of your Sustainer is not to be like that. Tell this saying about the riddle?It is the reality and which occurrence may clearly affect even you who practices unless determined?.

                          Do express that the will of your Sustainer is not to be negligent of this. Tell this saying about the riddle ?The paleness that turns red for who is negligent to apply contemplation?.

                          Do express that the will of your Sustainer is not for such one who has perplexity to grow old over this, so make the matter of Being recognizable. / Tell this saying about the riddle ?The gentle one sows in the World and soundly tends the cultivation until harvest?. Do express a progression towards the truth about murder and to not approach the deed.

                          This I also call pedagogy and psychology on the highest level while being entertaining. The listener to the lecturer is not supposed to read the lines of "Do express" literally, but it clearly shows that the lecturer is implied to use a sense of humor in teaching.

                          Because you have not went to any full lecture involving this I will give away the answer; the answer is "anger" which emerges when you start becoming emotional. It further shocks that there is coherence between one of the "commandments" in Torah which is "do not kill" and Jesus saying which is "Do not even be angry with your brother" and here AL-Quran (the Manifestation) gives it out quite quickly what the answer is although the witted one would know already when it tells about "paleness that turns red", but obviously it still predicts not everyone will understand even after that phrase as it continues "not to grow old over this". (The lecture continues in subsequent passages, this was to highlight the humor).

                          It is the underlying cause for wishing to kill someone that you are after in following the Decree which is the teaching here. Even if you never explicitly kill anyone you have still killed them in your intention and succumbed to AL-Shaytan (the instinct) by becoming angry (concealing or showing it does not matter, it is the state of emotionalism that does). With anger comes the wish to harm someone which does not have to be physical and you wish revenge and can go to lengths to get someone punished harshly at a court of law. This was when Jesus taught not to seek revenge at all. By sinning in the first place they have already harmed themselves and degraded their spirit. Punishing them more does only feel good for your instinct. It is better to try to help the sinner in any way possible for inside of themselves they are great victims and often a greater victim than yourself.

                          If you can find out from where in Quran I have taken the above you will have my honor.

                          Lesson on Qul, used in the passage where I used "express".

                          Qaf-Waw-Lam = to say/speak, to call, to be named, word/speech, utterance, a thing said, greeting, discourse, one who says/speaks. To inspire/transmit/relate/answer/think/profess, emit an opinion on, indicate a state or condition or circumstance. qa'ilun - speaker, indicator.

                          I.e. Qul does mean more than "say", it has to do with the conveying of information and the mode can vary and does not have to be verbal but if you can convey it through signs then you have also managed it. The person who Qailun is "expressing himself/herself" in literal sense.

                              No, I found it funny because I see this in most people. Have been victim of their confidence many times and probably it will continue.

                                guys,,, you missed the best joke,,,

                                ok I laugh lot of times when God address to the people who try to play games..
                                but the most funny thing is,,, when moses run away while encountering the first direct contact with Allah,, it makes me laugh even he was brave though but that what we are from inside ,, truth is this our ego show us we are brave as soon we hear a bit loud voice of blast or anything we suddenly get scared sometimes scream but its true we get scared from lot of things which we never mention to others,,

                                now more laughing spots of quran
                                when moses ,, grab the beard of aroon, and situation is quite funny as haroon was innocent ,,,

                                they plotted a plot and we are plotting a plot for disbeleivers...(make me laugh always) this is repeating verse of quran on several occasions.in different manners..

                                when yonus run away sometimes it makes me laugh and sometimes sad... sad due to the test that he encounter after that ...and laugh due to the fact somehow we always run away from our tensions ,, or simply runaway from our duties...

                                the jealousy of iblees makes me laugh sometimes ,,, when he refused to prostrate... how stupid he was even knowing he cannot run away from God..

                                the most laughing point when angels come to destroy the nation of lot,, those basterd keep an bad eye oon angels and lot get afraid ... but when angels told him dnt worry they dnt really know who they are dealing with,,, we will bang them upside down ,,hahaha trust me that situation make me laugh...

                                lot more ,,but again matter of time and space I have somme more funny situations of quran for example when the people of paradise will lagh at the people of hell,,, its quite funny when somebody in heavens see his enemy burning and on other hand he got a girl with a pack of pure wine and music ,,, haha toba I dnt know should I laugh or what but according to ayat allah himself said they will be laughing at them

                                yeh obviously quran is complete book it must contains some laughs for us... actions ,, science ,, fights ,, fun,, comedy everything in our holy book ,,, but problem is with interpretation ,,our scholars always make it strict even in the case of jokes,,, they present it in a manner that laghing is kind of sin while reading quran,,,but Allah is wise and noble...

                                  The Iblee thing... I can picture him actually getting mad and drooling with anger and changing that made "min tin" referring to adam to "tinan", which is like saying that not made out of tin but i actually tin. He feels slighted so much... and reminds so much of people who get mad when they re not treated as the royal kings they think they are... They loose all control and give away their inner poor condition.

                                  Salaam

                                      Sahih International
                                      But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, "And the male is not like the female.

                                      That put me in stitches laughing ;D
