    Verses 2239-41 …….

    I am not satisfied with any of the translations available for whatever the reasons for above verses of quran… My heart doesn’t accept any of them… something bothers me while reading the verses without being able to get any meaning by using religious places…specially mentioning of religious places such Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues, Mosques… I feel like (sawamiu) ~~ Reform centers, (Bi’au) ~~~Trading or Business or Fare, (Salawat) ~~~ Morals / Ethics, (Masajid) ~~~ Sanctuaries ( natural & man erected)..
    Does anyone think in a different way to all the translations or even direct Arabic words? Or are you perfectly fine with religious places as translated or take the quranic words as religious places..…

    If anyone has totally different translation or understanding pls comment… I searched whether it is discussed before in the forum but could not find exactly..

        Read with what is done within them. Do people do that in trading centers?

          Peace brother Mazhar

          Would pls elaborte it rather than I guess something else by what you hsve written....
          Further can you translate those four words and explain the meaning...

          Dear Brother Iyyaka...
          So.... You don't go in line with major translations... It means you have found it differently.... Can you explain those three verses... Don't translate but explain what you get by the three verses to get a better picture ...

            لَّـهُدِّمَتْ صَوَٟمِعُ وَبِيَعٚ وَصَلَوَٟتٚ وَمَسَٟجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيـهَا ٱسمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيـرٙاۗ

            Certainly monasteries and churches and synagogues and mosques would have been demolished wherein the name of Allah is mentioned quite often.

            So these places are where people go for prayer or one may say worship. Thereby in simple terms these are referring religious places where people congregate for no other purpose but to remember and mention Allah.

              So... You go inline with all major translations... Fine... You highlighted may be to say in masajid God's name remembered much.... In fact the verse only says masajid... Right.. Not all God's name remembered.... Somehow those places God's name not remembered ... Is it fair..

                    Some time try to skim some grammar book. Feminine Ha is used to refer broken plural objects since then they are grammatically treated singular.

                    http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.%20Tabweeb/0001.%20Pronouns%20and%20Prepositions/Prepositions/001.%20Fe%20place%20and%20time/4.gif is used 244 times in Ayahs. At the very first place it refers feminine broken plural noun.

                    http//haqeeqat.pk/236.FeeHa.htm

                    Easy to see its use in all ayahs use search engine by F-3 on this text page of Full Qur'an on my website

                      Peace,

                      I have added more information for reflection in my post https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9610597.msg427316#msg427316
                      I hope that highlighting the structure of this passage and the inter-connected elements will help your reflection.

                      Sorry not to answer directly and much longer (top long here - even if colour and structure has "obvious" meaning) but otherwise we must first ask the question what is the relationship between the ROOT of these words and the proposed STANDARD translations ?
                      It is "clearly" for me a lexical entry...

                        Let's hope as you say feeha is plural as well... But this feeha is feminine plural you say... But those four words are not merely feminine.... So is it possible to use feeHa for both (feminine and masculine) ...

                          In verse 41 it speaks of entrusting power... And make establish salat.and Zakath ... If Salat here prayer and Zakath (giving) I don't think they have any right to do so being rulers... That doesn't make sense... If attempting to establish Morals and thus trying to bringforth purification to society is much meaningful.... They should do that as leaders specially as believjng leaders....
                          That's why I don't prefer those four words in a way to be translated as religious places... If they corrupt and demolish the morals and people's trading and mainly sanctuaries which are inevitable those days for various imperative purposes... So God check those do such act by some others so morals or ethics of a nation prevails.....

                            Peace brother Mazhar...

                            I checked most of those Fee-Ha verses but i only see quran refers to some feminine singular matter and referring it that feminine matter and uses Fee-Ha... i checked out of those 244 many.. still i could not find a broken plural for Fee-Ha.... the moment i write this thread also i am checking out those 244 but still not... can you bring specifically five verses which refers plural using Fee-HA....
                            if in case all Fee-Ha refers feminine singular in entire quran, then we have to look seriously the verse 2240 what it refers as fee-Ha.... i am checking all 244 verses to be sure.. give me some time...

                              Something seems gone wrong with you. At the very first use it is for plural.

                              أَنَّ لَـهُـمْ جَنَّٟتٛ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِـهَا ٱلۡأََنْـهَٟرُۖ

                              That gardens are in wait- prepared- promised for them where streams flow on lower side by her.

                              کہ اُن کیلئے ایسے باغات منتظر ہیں جن کے پائیں نہریں بہتی ہیں۔

                              كُلَّمَا رُزِقُوا۟ مِنْـهَا مِن ثَمَـرَةٛ رِّزْقٙاۙ

                              -- Every time they were fed variety of fruit from them (gardens) as sustenance —

                              جب جب اُن باغات کے پھلوں میں سے کھانے کوانہیں رزق دیا جائے گا

                              قَالُوا۟ هَـٟذَا ٱلَّذِى رُزِقْنَا مِن قَبْلُ؜ۖ

                              They said "This fruit is alike which was given to us as sustenance foretimes--
                              تو کہیں گے کہ یہ وہ رزق ہے جو ہمیں پہلے مل چکا ہے۔

                              وَأُتُوا۟ بِـهِۦ مُتَشَٟبِـهٙاۖ

                              And they were given things in resemblance of their perceptions --.

                              اور اُس (دنیا میں دیئے رزق)سے مشابہت رکھنے والا رزق دیا جائے گا۔

                              وَلَـهُـمْ فِيـهَآ أَزْوَٟجٚ مُّطَهَّرَةٚۖ

                              And that spouses of purified- clean heart as companions-mates are assured for them therein.

                              اوراُن( باغات) میں ان کیلئے ازواج مطھرۃ؍پاکیزہ تصورات کے حامل ازدواجی ساتھی ہوں گے۔

                              وَهُـمْ فِيـهَا خَٟلِدُونَ.225٢٥

                              And they will abide therein permanently.

                              (اوریہ لوگ ان(باغات)میں ہمیشہ رہائش پذیررہیں گے۔ (البقرۃ۔۲۵

                                Sorry but not just "read" but concentrate - Your comment show that you don't really take time to analyse my post and don't make your" preference" dictate your comprehension but ONLY Allah's signs.

                                In the verse 41 yes ALL the verses are in the past form and the criticism is about the notables of quraych - so using modern name places of worship for these 4 words is doing ANACHRONISM (mix different times...)

                                Peace

                                  Something seems gone wrong with you. At the very first use it is for plural.

                                  أَنَّ لَـهُـمْ جَنَّٟتٛ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِـهَا ٱلۡأََنْـهَٟرُۖ

                                  That gardens are in wait- prepared- promised for them where streams flow on lower side by her.

                                  کہ اُن کیلئے ایسے باغات منتظر ہیں جن کے پائیں نہریں بہتی ہیں۔

                                  كُلَّمَا رُزِقُوا۟ مِنْـهَا مِن ثَمَـرَةٛ رِّزْقٙاۙ

                                  -- Every time they were fed variety of fruit from them (gardens) as sustenance —

                                  جب جب اُن باغات کے پھلوں میں سے کھانے کوانہیں رزق دیا جائے گا

                                  قَالُوا۟ هَـٟذَا ٱلَّذِى رُزِقْنَا مِن قَبْلُ؜ۖ

                                  They said "This fruit is alike which was given to us as sustenance foretimes--
                                  تو کہیں گے کہ یہ وہ رزق ہے جو ہمیں پہلے مل چکا ہے۔

                                  وَأُتُوا۟ بِـهِۦ مُتَشَٟبِـهٙاۖ

                                  And they were given things in resemblance of their perceptions --.

                                  اور اُس (دنیا میں دیئے رزق)سے مشابہت رکھنے والا رزق دیا جائے گا۔

                                  وَلَـهُـمْ فِيـهَآ أَزْوَٟجٚ مُّطَهَّرَةٚۖ

                                  And that spouses of purified- clean heart as companions-mates are assured for them therein.

                                  اوراُن( باغات) میں ان کیلئے ازواج مطھرۃ؍پاکیزہ تصورات کے حامل ازدواجی ساتھی ہوں گے۔

                                  وَهُـمْ فِيـهَا خَٟلِدُونَ.225٢٥

                                  And they will abide therein permanently.

                                  (اوریہ لوگ ان(باغات)میں ہمیشہ رہائش پذیررہیں گے۔ (البقرۃ۔۲۵

                                  Really confused brother not being able to get a clear picture… you know I have no knowledge of this arabic grammar… but I won’t fail to verify though…. Let’s see I may get some assistance..
                                  The above verse Fee-Ha refers to Janna (feminine)… I know the Janna mentioned is plural…. But what God refers is to Janna…. Some verses I have seen while checking not at all referred to Hell but explanation is about Hell so, God used Fee-Ha to refer Hell without the word being mentioned in quran… cannot remember the verse no... if Fee-Ha used then it has to be feminine only… isn’t it? Then why not use Fee-Hi…
                                  For example 22… referring the Book (masculine) and used no doubt IN IT (Fee-Hi) addressing the book.
                                  Can you bring one couple of verses which refers to Singular Masculine object but used as Fee-HA…
                                  Is this fee-HA is something like this… Could be used for

                                    Sorry but not just "read" but concentrate - Your comment show that you don't really take time to analyse my post and don't make your" preference" dictate your comprehension but ONLY Allah's signs.

                                    In the verse 41 yes ALL the verses are in the past form and the criticism is about the notables of quraych - so using modern name places of worship for these 4 words is doing ANACHRONISM (mix different times...)

                                    Peace

                                    Yes... brother.. concentrate is the right word i guess.. but i said read and try to grasp... hope you thought only reading... but honestly i am still stuck... not getting what these three verses in fact up to and what those four words is really are .. Why all of a sudden Salawat becomes synagogues .... If what Mazhar says is right about Fee-Ha then conventional translations may work.... thank you again...I wish i get better picture of these asap...

                                      Dear Brother Mazhar

                                      is this rule only applicable with Fee-HA or generally with 'Ha' (posseive pronoun) itself... coz.. when you read the verse you presented it has words like 'Thahthi-HA' and 'Min-HA' which refers to Janna... but these 'Ha' usually singular feminine.. right... but in the verse Janna is plural and these two 'HA' are pointing to Janna in singular form...

                                      pls any expert specially in grammar Arabic may cooperate with kindness for making things in black and white....

                                        Perhaps you are confusing two different pronouns.

Object Pronoun third person, singular, feminine referent for singular feminine antecedent. It will be used also when the antecedent is broken plural feminine objects; it is so because feminine broken plural is grammatically singular.

                                          Salam,
                                          For Fiha already talk about here (and Mazhar give u answer previously) https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9610831.0
                                          and Fiha refers to masjids (we have to respect the order of words made by Allah)

                                          "sudden Salawat becomes synagogues"
                                          => Check the use of this form in all the quran and Allah will give u the answer - the rest is from human historical
