Ma means mother in Quran?
-
Hello,
does not mean mother. You have to add an alif to make it mother which morphologically means "Be From", i.e. . The other suggestion means 'no' in Arabic as the following alif after miim negates the miim. and you have your root word for mother and another definition is 'source' which goes well with my morphological explanation of "Be From".
"Ummah" comes from the same root and speaks of your originating people, for example, in your tribe, relatives, and it can probably be not only literally implied too.
Wellness to you

That is because I researched that in aramaic (where arabic evolved from) 'ama', 'ma' etc.. equals mother! That's because in 2255 and various oher verses... in arabic does not make sense if the verse says 'ma' as 'what'.
Also in sanskrit mother is translated as 'Alla'. Strange phenomenon.
Hi welcome to the forum handshake
So you think means "mother in the heaven and mother in the earth"?
If so, can you explain how this makes more sense to you? -
Hi welcome to the forum handshake

If so, can you explain how this makes more sense to you?For example in the beginning of verse 2284 it says . In translation that will be (literally) "Allah what in heavens and what in earth...." That does not make sense if 'ma' means 'what'. But since the majority of the world languages use 'ma' as mother. I simply translated the beginning of the verse as "Allah mother in heavens and mother in earth....". This does not mean Allah has a partner, as Mary also did not have a partner when conceiving Jesus (pbuh). Also it could be a spiritual aspect of God. And not physical. As some things in the Quran has metphorical meanings. Allah knows best ofcourse

Hi,
the red word is read like this Li-Llah
I think the "Li" means something like "to".
Thus something like this "To Allah belongs what is in samaa and what is in ard"But since the majority of the world languages use 'ma' as mother. I simply translated the beginning of the verse as "Allah mother in heavens and mother in earth....". This does not mean Allah has a partner, as Mary also did not have a partner when conceiving Jesus (pbuh). Also it could be a spiritual aspect of God. And not physical.

Blue Interesting. Do you think Allah can be spiritual and physical?

Explain 1068 .
I think Allah could have physical and spiritual attributes. I mean there's nothing that I have read of the Quran to suggest otherwise.

Hi,
I think the red word is also a comibination of 2 expressions. La-Hu
I think it means something like To Him...I think Allah could have physical and spiritual attributes. I mean there's nothing that I have read of the Quran to suggest otherwise.
Can you give an example from the quran where you understood that He has physical attributes and an example where He has spiritual attributes?

Can you give an example from the quran where you understood that He has physical attributes and an example where He has spiritual attributes?That's the point, I don' t know of any verse if Allah is just physical or spiritual. It's just my opinion that Allah can be both. But I do know that (according to a hadith that is sahih bukahri) that a womb has a physical connection to Allah.
Sahih Bukhari, Book 65, Hadith 4879
" . . . . ". { }
The Prophet (ﷺ said, "Allah created His creation, and when He was done with it, the womb, got up and caught hold of the Merciful's loin (or loincloth?) Allah said, "What is the matter?' On that, it said, 'I seek refuge with you from those who sever the ties of Kith and kin.' On that Allah said, 'Will you be satisfied if I bestow My favors on him who keeps your ties, and withhold My favors from him who severs your ties?' On that it said, 'Yes, O my Lord!' Then Allah said, 'That is for you.' " Abu Huraira added If you wish, you can recite "Would you then if you were given the authority. do mischief in the land and sever your ties of kinship. (47. 22)Allah knows best!

Hi,
Ok thank you for clarification.
I think Allah has no physical or spiritual "attributes", sounds weird to me. -
Yeh, I'm not very educated. Just researching the Quran through the internet. That's why I have some writing problems. Sorry!
I am also not very educated, but I think that is not important.
I think it's more important and more wise to keep on researching then to be very educated and stay still.
Or maybe I am just saying this to comfort myself -

Concerning the relationship between the wombs and God, bear in mind inthe Qur'an
4.1.
O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence (ittaqw) Allah, about whom you ask, and the wombs for Allah ever watches over you. (1)
And bear in mind the Arabic word raHim (womb) plural arHam
The word raHim is constituted from the same root as raHma (mercy) and as raHmaan and raHiim, the names of Good which come at the begining of every sura (except one) in the Qur'an and that in the text itself come up all the time.
So without any need for "maa" being made into anything other than the known meaning, there is a manifest connection between God and the wombs.
To wit, this time in 4.1. where God asks us to "ittaqw" Him and "al arham" is the only one in the whole of the Qur'an where the Qur'an says to "ittaqw" something else with Him.
We should bear in mind those things because they speak very deeply to our identity and to our destiny of return to Him.
Salaam

Found a video showing fish having the name 'ma allah' or 'ba allah' check for yourselves
https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2hva5Bjeag
update; just checked the whole quran (using qurancode software) if there is 'ba allah' or even 'ya allah' together or next to each other and the result is zero. But there is only 'Ma Allah'. I am gobsmacked! confused

alif meem = mother
alif = an oxes head, denoting stength etc.
meem = water, denoting fluidity, motion, emotion, understanding etc.alif+meem = strong water
maybe hinting at childbirth, prehaps also as in what bonds a family together, strong/hard/thick water as in glue, prehaps a strong understanding/emotion as water is often assosciated with
God knows best, and i only have a limited understanding, one which may or may not be correct
in terms of 'ma' in the quran, i dont see how you can say it does not make sense in that verse?? 'what is the heavens and the earth'
of course, ma has various forms, one of which is negating. however i dont think this is the case here, as in saying 'nothing is (comparible) to him in the heavens and the earth' or 'he is not in the heavens and the earth' because, in my understanding then it would be 'ma lahu' not 'lahu ma'. but this is only my observation, and what i (hope to be) recalling correctly. i am by no means wise when it comes to arabic.
Peace

'Amm' means "be from" literally. It is a word used to say mother, usually with an attached suffix indicating whose mother (in Quran's corpus). Same root can also be used to talk about someone's kinship or group identity (e.g. ummah).
Ma (ا means 'no' in Arabic.
Be well

Check Quran 710, It clearly says 'ma aysha'. Probably hinting to Mother Aysha (ra) Prophets wife. I think with the Quran its not necessarily the way the words are written but how it sounds. As Quran does mean 'Recitation'. And it was received by our Prophet (pbuh) that way.

'And made for you in her/it mother Aiesha'? this makes no sense in the context of the verse..
you are right, the quran is a recitation, however in whatever form there is a difference between 'ma aiesha' and 'maaeisha'
in my understanding the ma prefix denotes a place/form of something, in this case place/form of life i.e 'we have given you in it (the earth) a livelihood'
