Ghusl in Quran
-
I tend to think that indeed there are not real or absolute synonims in the Qur'an. I even think that there are no real synonimes in any language. Whenever a word is used that could be replaed by otheer words, there is always a reason why that word is chosen and not the other or any of the others. It may be a matter of personaly style IF what is being transmitted has not much imortance or only a part of it is of substance and most of it is not.
In a text like Qur'an, i doubt there are real synonims. God is not casual. Speaking of synonims is like saying that the universe was created by chance or similar things. Nothing happens by chance but through causes. And the words in the Qur'an have a reason. That we may be unable to see it is no reason to assert that it does not matter or that writing one word or the other would be the same.

peace Aladin,
You said "if you paint in green your translation of those words you'll see the difference"
You have clearly missed the point with the example of 260 and 7160. Highlighting the translated words in green is completely irrelevant, because the translation is not the original Arabic. The point with this example is to show that two words occur in Quran and by using Quran and Arabic grammar (if you wish) you will not be able to determine any difference whatsoever in the meanings, i.e. you will not be able to confirm or deny they are a synonym (because their meanings overlap in classical Arabic dictionaries).
Of course, despite knowing this, one can still claim "no synonyms in Quran" but it is impossible to prove. I have no idea why anyone would base their method of interpretation of Quran on an impossible to prove theory, but that's just me. Of course, the degree to which you rely on such a theory, when interpreting Quran, would be minimal I'd imagine, but I could be wrong.
I'm not familiar with words "vented" and "gushed", but I see that letters are not same, as in words used in ayets. If those words are synonyms then you can use "vented" or "gushed" as translation of both ayets... can you? Synonyms are words which can be used instead of other words without losing the meaning, and in any sentence.
Btw, what is "peace" many of the people are using here? Is it from 1968?

I agree with you, and for any language known to me. Synonyms can be used but only with description, as "house" and "bulding where people live"... similar word "home" would be "building where families live". They're similar but not same. In the Qur'an words such as "daar" and "beyt" are as those English words.
Most of the words of lisan of the Qur'an cannot be translated 11 to any language and others cannot be translated with 1 single (English or any) word, and for some it's hard to translate them with many lines of text, if we wanna tell of what that word means.
Btw, what is Salaam?

peace centi50
i dnt know if i understood you correctly what u are asking?
anyways this word appears only twice in quran.. and you gave both of the refferences.. according to the sentence structure its appears a state or stage when u finished sexin urdu language the same word we used as " halat -e-janabat" when somebody finished discharging and he is in a condition without bath.
although this root got multiple meanings.. depend on the usage of sentence structure..
like from same root words like
"junoob"=south and
"janib"=towards a side or directionexactly these words are also found in urdu with similar meanings.. depend on usage..
let me know if thats what you were asking?
Thank u immrankhawja for your answer. Yes that was what I was asking

Does the Qur'an require us to perform full body bath after sex
Thank you brothers
Thank you for posting this!
I had similiar question. I understand we need to bathe..i mean who wouldnt want to? but what about the ritualistic steps during the bathe? See video below. Is all this from hadith? And if you don't do ghusl exactly like this then you are still considered dirty??
And God wont accept your prayers?https//youtu.be/PEgUbg9YuCA

Before asking the question, have you read Quran 56 and 443?
If so, the answer is obvious.Yes i have. Everything seems obvious when i read Quran but then i go into the real world and begin to doubt myself. Its constant struggle to drown things out and not be influenced by your peers and family

its interesting to know how language give birth to words and new words ..
in pubjabi language when some body have to take bath people use a word let me take a "taree"
i asked my uncle what this "taree" means he say its mean to take shower/bath..
i said why "taree" he said people who used to swim in the river or lake its called "terkai" from that word a short word evolved what we say as "taree" on other words "teraki" means swimming not bath/shower..
we must have to change all the language of punjabi every single word how its derived make no sense at all...
even in my language urdu i get confuse when same word for bath people use
one say "naha lo" 97 % people used it as taking bath
one say "ghusal lo" only 3 % people used it as bath (which seems more accurate for bath as it derived from arabic)
both are correct usages and unnderstood by same principal regardless of meanings of words..both have same meanings but different drived forms from language to language..
NOTE
with this simple question people understand what i am trying to say
what is the word for "bath" quran used in its language ? (not arabic)this book is from God and contain words on the excellency of literacy at high level ,
from same book people drive their grammer and replace their baseless words in to more appropriate manner..
example is the birth of urdu language that replace lot of words from arabic grammer and persian grammer to replace words of hindi and sanskrit
but we still use those hindi words in our daily language still after 200 years.. it will be in the language untill the language will alive.. -
I have not understood you, but I appreciate your time imrankhawaja
thanx brother,
i just write that post for you even i have to go somewhere..read it two three times and let me know what is your native language i will ty to post you next example in your own native language ..
in short what i ask ,
did quran used any word for taking shower?
if it is then what is the word in quran used as taking shower/bath?(it has nothing to do with what arabic , punjabi ,persian or urdu speaker using for taking bath)
becoz the living arabic is totally different than the language of quran its a well known fact.(keeping this thing in mind read my post again)
and if you are just wasting my time "then God bless you" -
The Quran has not used any word for taking shower. No I am not wasting your time brother. I appreciate you giving me your time to answer.
now you exactly understand that quran did not use word ghusal in quran in which whole of your understanding relying on..
ghusal is arabic for taking shower
taree is punjabi of taking shower
naha lo is the urdu of taking showerso i only request you to see the title of your thread which is illogical
"ghusal in quran" there is no ghusal word in quran
on the other hand quran is telling you about hygeine stuff which every doctor also tells you..
i wonder why people use water for cleaning things , like plates dishes and their bodiesso if quran is telling to do same what is the problem in all of it ? hope it will helps..
if u have anything to ask , then i will reply you back when i come back home untill then take care
