    Salam,

    What does Seer mean, I always thought it meant that God sees everything... something similar.

    But when translating to Swedish I get 2 words, one of them which defines it as one who predicts/foretells.
    The other word is prophet.

    What is the meaning?

    Salam

    The definitions you get are accurate. A 'seer' is a person who can see into some other time or place much like a prophet.

    But 'seer' could also mean simply that a person is seeing things. They mean in the terms of "God" that "God" sees everything.

    Be well

        No human being can do that.
        Prophets don't exists and never existed.

          can a human being write with two hands simultaneously with same perfection?
          can a human being see two things live in his front and back simultaneously?
          can a human being see his own backside of neck without the help of mirrors?
          can a human being brain store data more than 100 mb in his brain forever without forgetting a word?

          if all answers are yes then we may apply the other theories... regarding space and time...

          yeh but here is one logic if God can see each and everything in each and every time then its possible for a human to do same if he is a portion of God...

              ?

              A prophet is someone who makes prophecies, such people don't exist, at least not as in the traditional understanding, as a weatherman is in fact a prophet.
              Translating nabi with prophet is in my opinion a very poor translation.

                yeh i agree on that prophet is the one who predict , i mean wordy meanings...derived from prophecy...

                so what do u think what possible and close understanding of this word nabi should b... ?

                atleast with messenger its pretty clear its a message and delivery person known as messenger...

                but with nabi the word is debateable..whats about informer

                  This I can strongly agree with. Prophet is a very poor translation of Nabi.

                  The real meaning of Nabi can be made out by studying lexical sources. It is something of informed/insightful/conceived, the person has gotten an "aha" sensation and has a significant insight into things.

                    Not informer but informed, though I would opt for the word insightful. The word is more or less synonymous with the Sanskrit word buddha which is not a label but attribute of a person.

                      No human being can do that.
                      Prophets don't exists and never existed.

                      Depends on what the "high community" lets the person know. The true future you cannot see because it does not exist yet although you can see visions of a possible or determined future in advance. The "prophet/seer" is dependent on being enabled to see by the Foundation in control.

                      But if successful and elevated to the "high community" the person will be aware of everything going on and is in control.

                      Such things is not the purpose of this world though but here it is about refining your person in order to progress and shape your soul into something worth preserving.

                          I think informer is indeed much better, I think it must have something to do with information

                          RED If you are talking here about natural phenomenons then I don't call that prophesying as they can be calculated.
                          If you mean with prophecies like Nostradamus then I can also make such prophecies.
                          btw. prophesying does not allow free will or vice versa

                          Not informer but informed, though I would opt for the word insightful. The word is more or less synonymous with the Sanskrit word buddha which is not a label but attribute of a person.

                          RED Nice! Or maybe even an informed informer.
