Difference between بسم (Bismi) and باسم (Bi-Ismi)

Salam Kaltun!
It is Arabic and not Dutch or any European language. You may not write well but you can SEE the difference between two words regardless of the language. Don't you?
Peace!

Salam Jkhan!
You have raised questions for my future articles.
Why do you understand that Mohammad was the only prophet for ARABS? Arabs called themselves from the progeny of the prophet Ismail. Wasn't Ismail a prophet ? Didn't he live near the "Baytika Al-Muharram" ? Didn't he built 'The Bayt' with his father Ibrahim ? Where in the Quran, Allah has addressed to "Bani Ismail" or said "Oh Arabs!" Please dig the Quran and share your findings.Secondly, do you consider each and every sentence in Quran as an Ayah/Sign/Qawl of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala?
See the below Ayah for example
_
028038 And Pharaoh said "O chiefs! I know not that ye have a god other than me, so kindle for me (a fire), O Haman, to bake the mud; and set up for me a lofty tower in order that I may survey the god of Moses; and lo! I deem him of the liars."
How much Thawab would I get by reciting this Ayah for 100,000 times?"Bismillahi ArRahmani ArRahimi" What did you read? Is it written in Arabic? Who told you that it is an Ayah? Don't you think It is a piece of an Ayah in Surah An-Namal. Here is the whole Ayah
_
027030 Lo! it is from Solomon, and lo! it is In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful;
Where it says that the letter from Suleiman had Bismillah on top/in the begnning?Sauleiman A.S communicated with Sabaian Queen in a language known to him, her or both of them. I think every nation may have atleast one translator in every era.
Was the language of Allah, Adam, Iblis and Malaika same at the time of Adam's creation? What language was that?
Science says as follows
For a long time, humans used primitive sounds and gestures as their means of communication. Structured languages were seen in scriptures that were written about 10,000 years ago.Peace!

my knowledge in this topic is very weak...
I said as per my understanding... Why she took only bismillah Rahman Raheem....
Do you say there were prophets who were Arabs? Got to research... But what I understood is only Mohamed based few verses.. But never researched completely.... -
@TMTT
Bit opposite view to what you said... " Whole quran is word of God""
But I prefer to say whole Quran is from God and not all words of Quran are God's ....
No need need to dig this topic... Coz it will go off topic... Wince I see verses like God is poor we are rich.... That's not words of God... Words of people quoted by author in the Quran... GOD didn't say it people said...
Sane like a news paper.... You see lots of quotes... But it is not the word of author...
Let's keep it with topic bismillah -

Simply tell where Ismael A.S who was a Rasool and a Prophet and a son of Ibrahim A.S lived?To your question in red part above
My translation;
She said, ?O chiefs! Indeed a venerable writing is delivered to me. Indeed it is from Suleiman? (Saying) ?And indeed it is pleasure of Allah, the Most-Compassionate, and the Most Merciful that not you wish eminence above Me and come to Me in submission/Muslimeen?.Peace!

I think here you are contradicting your own previous statement
As per my understanding of Quran Mohamed was the only prophet for Arabs...
So bismillah Rahman Raheem is not one of the typical. Same verse in the book of prophet Sulaiman.... He wouldn't have said the same but perhaps in his own language.. Coz God reveals in language of the prophets and their people...
What could that be that he wrote to Sheba saying equivalent to bismillah Rahman Raheem....
It seems like it was the beginning of his letter while sheba read it... It could be in the OR with the name of...... ....... ...... But not Arabic version...
Or was it in Sheba's languagePeace!

I am afraid to state what's have no knowledge... In fact I have to study and research about Mohamed is the only prophet in Arabic language or for Arabs or there were prophets... But my very light memories say that could be right... But I will in sha Allah come back to you TMTT... but you have brought a very good topic which made me to ponder and research on a matter which I have not touched yet...BTW.. I don't think there is any proof that Ismail was an Arab or lived in Macca or the sent to a community where Arabs lived... I wonder even Arabs are that old community.... Date back to Ibrahim.... Is Arabic the root of languages at middle east or others... That will solve.. Anyhow let me research...
God guide you brother... -
TMTT
I doubled checked.. I still feel when I read Arabic and translation and my own understanding.... Letter from Suleiman starts Bismillah Rahman Raheem.... I don't see any other option...
Do you say letter start with something else... If so let me know what is it? -
Dear Jkhan!
Can you see that there is used twice in 2729? Isn't it the start of two (02) statements?
There are 19 Ayats, which start with this word e.g., 1699, 2072, 21110, 23109, 26220, 2730, 3781, 37111, 37132, 5677, 33175, and more.Peace!

I will check the verses references you furnished....
But only with the particular verse... It seems She says Sulaiman letter starts bismillah... Let's see... -
Dear brother TMTT and everyone Peace...
What do you get by below verses... Does it say Arabs were given scriptures before... These verses addressing to the people of Mohamed incontrovertibly... Two groups here are Jews and Christian to whome God revealed Books in their own languages... But for Arabs it seems not till it was revealed to Mohamed who lived not far from these two groups (for me Mohamed was a Nabatean Arab after migration and before also not far)... Here God refers two groups starting from musa till Isa... But classification of jews and Christian is people choice during that period.
But Ibrahim lived well before musa... If any of the evidence left to call Ibrahim and Ismail were prophets for Arabs then then the classic evidence could be remnant of Ibrahim's book with the people of Arab in their language .. Specially the ancient Arab Nabatean.. But no such Archealogical remnant left to support... What language Ibrahim Ismail Lot or ishhaq or yakub or even Yousuf spoke is mystery... But clearly they were not Jews or Christians but it doesn't mean they didn't speak Aramaic or Hebrew any such old languages . They would have or may not. But we don't find any other older language to Hebrew /Aramaic / Akkadian in that Area amongst Semitic languages.. Arabic is most widely spoken language in that area since many centuries to now.. It shows that Arabic is a very latest language.. Coz what is most spreading is only the latest version and not the oldest version..thats the pattern of the world. But history shows Akkadian is the oldest of the languages of this area though root for all Semitic languages is probably Aramaic/hebrew... Those who are well versed in such will know from where all started... But, definitely not Arabic... Arabic seems very latest language on the region deriving all dialects from Hebrew and Aramaic... God knows best...6155 "And this is a blessed Scripture which We have revealed. So follow it and ward off (evil), that ye may find mercy"
6156 " lest you should say, 'The Book was sent down only upon two parties before us, and we have indeed been heedless of their study'"
6157 " Or lest ye should say If the Scripture had been revealed unto us, we surely had been better guided than are they. Now hath there come unto you a clear proof from your Lord, a guidance and mercy; and who doeth greater wrong than he who denieth the revelations of Allah, and turneth away from them? We award unto those who turn away from Our revelations an evil doom because of their aversion."
We can't say that scriptures actually sent to the communities of Jews and Christians of Mohamed time.. Of course not but it was sent many 100s of years back... But still called scriptures sent to two groups among them...coz they are the followers of them.. So it shows Arabs were not sent any such scriptures till Mohamed.. Taking Ibrahim or Ismail as Arab is far from reality... I don't think there were Arabs/arabic language in the time of Ibrahim...
Take look at the below verse.. 2948
"
Neither did you (O Muhammad SAW) read any book before it (this Quran), nor did you write any book (whatsoever) with your right hand. In that case, indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted."It doesn't say Mohamed is illiterate but it says He has no such exposure to scriptures... Neither the scriptures of two groups or of his own ancestors... Nothing in Arabic... This seems the beginning... It was mercy for Arabs and to the world...
God guide us...This is my understanding to date dear TMTT... Lot to research though...any flaws pls point out....

Yes dear... Inna'hu used twice.... But other one is Wa'inna'hu.....
Difference is she didn't use a word like IT READS.. but she said " And Verily it.. And then the letter..
The initial innahu is just verily It / Lo! It from Suleiman.
So if we think in a real scenario.. We can imagine the structure of the verse that letter starts with bismillah... Just saying verily it is from Suleiman and cannot read out.. Normal way is to say.. It reads.. It says.. Or like the Quran says.. "And it is" then the original letter.. In my understanding.. Hope u have to something otherwise..BTW why Sulaiman should write a letter with word Wa'inna'hu? Since Sulaiman is the initiator of the whole process by secretly spying on her.. If Sheba wrote first then probably a continuation... But Sulaiman started everything... And what could be best rather than starting "in the name of God", .. Even Noah said 1141 embark in the ark 'In the name Allah"
I am afraid... Am I dragging your topic bit off road...

Dear Jkhan, Salam!
Simply, if you are right then where Ibrahim left his progeny or (al-Bayt) which was built by Ibrahim and Ismael is not AMAH because Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his nation was living near AMAH and Arabs or Muhammad (peace be upon him) are not from the progeny of Ismael
Right?
BTW, please note that Al-Kitab is singular. What was ( (8719?
Peace to all!
-
Salam!
Nothing tell that the letter started with bismillah either. Give your proof.
Note there are 22 Ayats which start with Wa Innahu e.g., 26192, 26193, 2777, 434, and more.Peace!

I have told at the end of my first post that Suleiman quoted an Ayah or message of Allah in his letter.
Secondly, Noah said as follows
011041 And he said Embark therein! Pleasure of Allah starts/runs it and stops/anchors it. Lo! my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.
Would you please care to read my initial post again?Peace!

Yes dear ... I agree with u... nothing confirms that letter commence with bismillah, but just assumption looking at the tone of the verse ... Same we can't say that letter start with Wa'inna'hu... God knows best....

Yes.. Instead of in the name of pleasure of Allah ..you are using... It's fine... But.. Point to note is NOAH used bismillah to start with... With the pleasure of Allah... What's wrong with it if Ism = pleasure...
I have no objection if it fits... Meaning perfectly fits... -

Peace TMTT...
Yes we are stepping into one of the key thresholds.. .. Al masjid Al haram...
Let's take one at a time... Gradually develop if you keep patient with the subject... In sha Allah...
First let me know...- what is you current opinion where Ismail lived and what language he spoke?
- where is Al masjid Al Haram now situated?
- Where Mohamed lived?
For all the above if your answer is Yes Macca and arabic was Ismail's language....
Then pls quote verses and bring other proofs like hints through QURAN.. Remember Macca is only once in Quran....
And based on that let's march forward the discourse... I asked them coz it seems you have a point to prove and you seems bit confident what you are up to. ...
Let's hope this dialogue would help whoever reads it.. So let's stick with Quran direct verses and hints and clues.. In sha Allah you will find me patient..... It would take many a days depending on the weight of argument.... Let's bring the truth with Quran with evidences and nature....
BTW suhufi Ibrahim wa' musa ... Yes... Both were given books... But Ibrahim's book missing... History missing... Apart from what Allah says in the book
-
Salam Jkhan!
You and I may be right because the meaning perfectly fits but the problem or the question is Why translations/interpretations have been imposed on nations for around 1400 years or so? Why we were told that do not read Quran only coz you will get astrayed. Even the Quran Only believers who deny Hadith because it was written after many years of the prophet's death why they have much emphasis on Grammar which is also a later development.
See Kitab-Al-Ayn was the very first dictionary of Arabic language (some say it was the very first dictionary of any language) while it had a totally different alphabet arrangement. Why it all was changed through LUGHAT/Dictionaries, Hadith and so-called Grammar?
Why it is made hard for us to see the truth? When we will be able to see things as they are?If Quran is for all then everyone should be able to understand it but we do not use our eyes/sight, ears/hearing and the hearts/intellect. We always try to follow someone else because we do not do our own research. There are millions of us who utter/repeat Allah's name day and night but do not try to achieve the pleasure of Allah. That is why we are not being guided as the case should be.
May Allah bless and guide us all!

Right! Ibrahim was neither Jew nor Christian . When Allah tells what other people said then it does not mean that other people had knowledge or they were saying the truth.
Since Allah has sent messengers in every town and all messengers followed Allah's inspirations then the Book cannot be different . However, difference of language is not counted because every nation/town/people have their own language .Yes! we really need to ponder upon the message without any bias, sect or influence.
May Allah bless and guide us all!
