    George Sale As for the unbelievers, it will be equal to them whether thou admonish them, or do not admonish them; they will not believe.zoom
    John Medows Rodwell As to the infidels, alike is it to them whether thou warn them or warn them not - they will not believe

    The Arabic word for "As for" (a conjunction) is http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.%20Tabweeb/0000.%20Haroof%20particles/15.%20Amma%20Fa%20amma/2.gif NOT http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.%20Tabweeb/0000.%20Haroof%20particles/02.%20Inna/1.gif

    When a verb is used it has a pronoun that refers to a certain person(s). The Subject of a plural verb in Arabic always refers to an antecedent.

    http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/Tabweeb/00032.%20Kaafir%20Kaf%20Fa%20Ra%20refuse%20hide/1.gif It is a sentence not a noun meaning Kafir. It comprises of Verb Perfect; Third Person; Plural; Masculine; Subject Pronoun in nominative state; مصدر-كُفْرٌ Verbal Noun.

    So does that translation refers to the Kafir?

    https//www.islamawakened.com/quran/2/6/

    A. Yes
    B. No

    A or B?

      Linguists call such a person an idiot since a word has only one meaning in the test.

      We should read the definition of "word" as Kindergarten student, things will become clear.

      Here is the issue, does the original Quran have diacritical marks and dots etc?

      Can you understand the question?

        a word has only one meaning in the test.

        Which one is the right meaning from the following word?

        -----------------------------------------1

        http//corpus.quran.com/wordimage?id=32

        (222)
        l-kitābu
        the book

        This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah. (22)

        -----------------------------------------2

        http//corpus.quran.com/wordimage?id=4672

        (223533)
        l-kitābu
        the prescribed term

        There is no blame upon you for that to which you allude concerning a proposal to women or for what you conceal within yourselves. Allah knows that you will have them in mind. But do not promise them secretly except for saying a proper saying. And do not determine to undertake a marriage contract until the prescribed term reaches its end. And know that Allah knows what is within yourselves, so beware of Him. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing. 2235

          Basic principle of Arabic; all nouns, except pronouns and proper nouns, are indefinite in their default state. They are made definite in the text only by two methods; prefixing definite article and by construct with second noun definite.

            That does not answer the question... do I need to repeat the question?

              I'm the Unlettered, ie. 1117 and here is the reason why I don't appreciate the traditional/conventional interpretation methodology ..

              https//scontent.fkul1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41552581_2198230923726820_4447633703832649728_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ht=scontent.fkul1-1.fna&oh=59a53aa2c0f3dde9d372008c204344f3&oe=5CCE7557

              ie. there is no merit for "originality" and it is Shirk (Kafir) ..

              You can never prove your point or argument...

              as proven above and our reality..

                Peace Mahdi.

                There are reasons why any language evolves. All languages go through this process. So when you say, quote

                Here is the issue, does the original Quran have diacritical marks and dots etc?

                your issue becomes worse because you need to try different prononciations of the word to see which one fits. Diactical marks and dots merely give you one prononciation of the word. Specific and easier for the majority of wors.

                Your "KAFARU" to you, as per the original, can also be "KUFIRU" or "KIFARU or ...many different prononciations.
                GOD bless you.
                Peace.

                    example.. my argument

                    http//corpus.quran.com/wordimage?id=32

                    (222)
                    l-kitābu
                    the book ordain

                    That is the ordain (of the Sunnnatullah, Law of Nature, Natural Order) about which there is no doubt, (the Natural Order is) a guidance for those conscious of Allah (Way of Allah, Sunnatullah, Energy, LordLaw of Cause & Effect). (22)

                    ie. they are

                    23 those who have iman in the Unseen (consequences, because? They) and establish (natural or ecological duty of) salat (ie. natural causes = natural effects, unnatural causes = unnatural effects) and spend (for jihad) from what We have provided for them;

                    24 those who have iman in what has been sent down to you and what was sent down before you (for One Same God, Nature's God), and are certain about the (consequences for the) Next World.

                    25 They are the (only) people guided by their LordLaw (of Nature, refer to 682-8. They are the ones who have success.

                    26 As for those who are kafir (of the Way of Allah/Sunnatullah/LordLaw of Nature), it makes no difference to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not have iman (in Natural Order ALONE!).

                    But as for those with sickness in their hearts (unnature), it (the revelation) will add doubt to their doubt, and they die kuffar. (9125)

                    ~ The Unlettered (People of the Book of Grammar / Linguistic etc)

                    Now let see if this argument or your argument (grammar, linguistic bla bla bla is) consistent with 6236 verses from the Quran... let's see who does the "(the revelation) will add doubt to their doubt" and come with fallacious arguments...

                      In the source text there is no word which means "doubt". The Arabic Verbal Noun for "doubt" is http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/Tabweeb/0005.%20A%20Shakk%20doubt/2.gif

                        That is your only argument?

                        Do you agree that you have wasted all your life?

                          Peace Mahdi.
                          This is not an argument, quote

                          So it can potentially altering Allah’s book?

                          Any translation by anyone can come into that categiry one can argue back. That is why you have the Arabic text.

                          The fact remains GOD allowed for all these changes and is aware of it. Don t you think the invisible soldiers of GOD are keeping pace with all the changes and protecting the text?

                          Arabic language was what is was and has become what it is now.Qoran has kept up , but you are deciding to revert back.
                          But as usual ,you will come back arguing your case and using what exists now .Are you sure you can do without the changes we have?
                          GOD bless you.
                          Peace.

                            They who wish not to see the original text and glean from what George Sale and Rodwel said are in fact wasting their time.
