30:3 lowest point on earth?
-
Salam jkhan.
Saying "adna" is "nearest" simply ads no value to the statement as all wars are fought near or far. Also, "adna" has been used in the Quran for lowest (see 261) - which is consistent to this context.
You can't say probably no value in the statement if doesn't mean lowest... It can still mean with close-by land.. That gives clear picture where Mohamed lived.. If people claim Mohamed lived in Makka then as you say it is documented(lets take it true) so mutha in Jordan near dead Sea is not nearer.. That's far away from Makka... So they fought in a place nearer to their dwelling place... So Makka cannot be the place where Mohamed lived.. ... We can't say the verse doesn't give meaning... It gave meaning to the yester year people and it gives meaning for us as well.. If taken as lowest.. Most probably it would not give any meaning to the ancient folks.. What lowest? That could be there question.. Coz it was not a prophecy but god talking about an incident which happend during their life time and the prophecy is the second one the defeat...
Adna is the word God used whether it gives value or not we will know..

brother Mazhar..
Okay let it be superlative but why lowest instead of nearest ..Just google to locate the lowest area of the Earth. http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/00.Tabweeb%20Part%202/001.%20Roots%20originating%20in%20Surat%20002/2.061/1.%20Dunya%20Daal%20Noon%20Waw/5.gif does not mean "near". When two things are compared it means one thing inferior or lower than the other mentioned; when superlative it means "the lowest" of its second entity of possessive phrase. In Arabic words for the concept of "near" and "far-distant" are different.
إِذْ أَنتُـم بِالْعُدْوَةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُـم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلْقُصْوَىٰ وَٱلرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُـمْۚ
That day you people were on the lower level corner and they, the approaching army of infidels of Mecca. were on the farther higher altitude corner, while the Merchant Caravan was relatively at a lower level ground than you people.
This gives the picture of the battlefield and positioning of three parties. This location and positioning caused optical illusion for the incoming enemy army about the strength of Believers.

Salam Mazhar...
No way near to the real words of Quran your translations... What makes you to exaggerate by words... That you only know why you do that... Just speak what is written in the verse... That's worthy... Isn't it brother?
Pls you or anyone just read all the verses of Adna or Quswa or Asfala in entire Quran... Then you yourself decide what's the best suited meaning here in 303 ... Thank you..

This Prepositional Phrase coupled with Possessive Phrase is solitary occurrence in Qur'an فِـىٓ أَدْنَـى ٱلۡأَرْضِ.
Exaggeration and avoiding translation loss are two different things. Please remember Arabic is not translatable by following old theory of "word by word" and sense by sense translation.

Peace..
I do absolutely agree that we cannot translate with every word as it is.. Coz understanding is the translation... But biasing with manipulation or additional words which has no value is beyond translation...
Just look at your translation brother.. Why do you add Macca or approaching army infidels or higher etc.. These are too much... It's not translation.. It is your own quran... I wonder what you expect by exaggeration of words.. Do you think you can give better picture than God?
I wonder what's wrong with some believers...Pls remember there are millions of people who only depend on translated version of Quran so adding words which is not there is such a blasphemy... If one read your translations then they would think Macca is in fact in Arabic Quran

The methodology for translation indicated in Qur'an itself is that firstly segment the text into Frame (فَصَلْتُ الشَّيءَ فَصْلاً).
http//haqeeqat.pk/TranslationTripletTheory.htm
The Frame is 841-44.
You also are not noticing that Ayah 842 is a dependent clause for which reason understanding it you need to keep in mind the main clause.
Further you are not realizing the importance of what is called "anaphora resolution". I do it in the translation, otherwise the translation loss will render the sentence ambiguous for the reader. 'they" needs to be mentioned as to who were they.
Pl just skim it

If it is lowest point of earth then was this verse meant to be understood only by the later generation when humans discovered that dead sea is the lowest point of earth?

It was understood all the time. Sentence is informative. Anytime one can try verifying an information.

I don't want to further continue reiterating the same... I do very well aware anaphora resolution... Brother if it is translation let it be translation ..if you want make interpretation then let it be interpretation.... Then it is your view.. Let it be ambiguous... Is that an issue for you? So you clarify in translation itself what's ambiguous by inserting your personal opinion... So your personal opinion of the verse adapting with additional words becomes true and so that it is not ambiguous... Brothers that's worse than hadith... Just translate it... People grasp or not grasp is not your duty... For that God is around... For that the one who reach Quran will explore..
Honestly disgusting what you doing... And still you are not getting.. Do you know how I struggled with such biased translation and foot note... Just be aware that God doesn't like speaking the lies... What if your AR is wrong assumption? Then who will be responsive misguiding... Just translate dude.. That's more than truth... How strong the advice of God to Mohamed if he include anything into Quran .. So my humble advice.. I know you won't take it as positive... But true believers know that addition and deletion of real words from QURAN is not acceptable... Then it cannot be Quran...Anticipate one day you will understand that you cannot play around with words of God... That's my wish.. Specially while translating.. Not while giving interpretation or personal understanding of Quran... If one not understand fir example one word and translated according to how he understood is no harm.. Coz that's his comprehension at that time...

Just define what you mean by translation? Do you mean translating source text words in sequence?
Just translate it, I will get what you intend to say

It is better if we don’t spoil the cream and the essence of topic which is 30.03 by not deviating to another topic… but simply saying… normally we take the translation in writing (for example translation of quran to another language … so that takes time and understanding of the Arabic thoroughly replace the words with very meaning with a meaningful structure of a sentence though it doesn’t give a meaning in understanding, but just replace what is written in arabic)… but when it comes to interpretation it can be instant and the choices of words to match whatever comes in line and even addition and deletion to interpret it… it is not normally in writing but we do thus while hearing… it is not required to be so genuine but let the audience or reader for that matter get what the original message is in a nutshell..that’s interpretation.. but translation should be precise in writing without deviating the genuine message..(for example will/testament written by father to his kids, if translated, then it should be as it is… but if interpreted casually by lawyer we can say “ He has given most of his properties to his elder daughter”.. but translation should be each and everything without missing anything(no addition no deletion)..
It is not my aim to give my understanding and meaning of translation and interpretation… but quran is unique.. let that be as it is.. for example if God used only one word use the similar or more identical word in the translation language (no harm.. don’t be like the conventional translators ..example “A L M, these letter are miracles of Allah and non knows but Him” that’s exaggeration.. why do I need his opinion.. did allah miss to add that part?).. but don’t exaggerate with words… that s not translation… that’s the weakness of the translator.. it is good for an oral interpreter to exaggerate to get some pleasure in his work.. but be careful… that’s all I have to say..sometimes what you take so simple may be mighty in the eyes of God. All those who exaggerated only got carried away with the book of God and concocted stories in such a magnitude to raise hadiths… coz they never sufficed with mere words of God… they needed more … -
A discourse is not a dictionary that one can translate the meanings of each word accordingly. Meanings embedded in a sentence are much more than the collective meanings of the individual words. One needs to translate the sentence of the source text and not merely the original individual words.

Peace..
Yes,.. we all know that exactly..
Languages are different in style and in grammar.... so translator should adapt according to the language... IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE SHOULD ADD or DELETE WORDS...
That's not translation...that's verbose... You can be verbose in explanation coz that's understanding.. but not in translation...for example ,,. why we debate here in this forum keeping the quran as source..is it not manifest to us the way it is written? After all it is written in a language, so what is wrong, why we debate? The reason we debate is we need further exploration and understanding coz it's not talking about a simple matter.. such as "how to make brownies"... so while we explore this incredible quran gives lots of its concealed aspects...
So dear brother, you don't need to expose everything in your translation coz that's not worthy...people will grasp with the help of its author what the meaning of every verse...You added for example, Macca in a verse where Macca is not part of the verse...let people decide while exploring whether approaching infidels of Makka befit for the verse or not...
Do you think everyone will agree with you that Makka should be there.. or even you don't insert Makka in that verse, do you think everyone is of the opinion that Makka is the place where it took place... tbh.. that doesn't satisfy me and probably it won't satisfy many..So why did you include.what God didn't include.... did God forget..
For such just debate.. no need your personal translation on them.. -

For such just debate.. no need your personal translation on them..Words and phrases constitute a text. They are grammatical units of a sentence. How they are linked and what function they are performing has meanings over and above the meaning of individual words.
إِذْ أَنتُـم بِالْعُدْوَةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُـم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلْقُصْوَىٰ وَٱلرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُـمْۚ
If you translate merely these words in English, that will convey no sense. This is not only a dependent clause comprising of three sentences but also all three are elliptical. This must not be translated as independent sentence otherwise it will distort the original text.
This clause is linked to this part of earlier conditional sentence يَوْمَ ٱلْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ ٱلْتَقَى ٱلْجَمْعَانِۗ
The addressees are second persons present who actually experienced the situation. It is episode, an account of real life event. Thereby to make the reader of English translation visualize the event context and ellipses apparent in structuring the sentences need to be incorporated. Needless to mention that grammar, syntax ans rhetoric devices put additional meanings in the sentence.For the present day reader, who were not the characters of event, the pronouns also need to be resolved.
إِذْ أَنتُـم بِالْعُدْوَةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُـم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلْقُصْوَىٰ وَٱلرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُـمْۚ
That day you people were positioned on the lower level corner and they (the approaching army of infidels of Mecca) were positioned on the farther higher altitude corner, while the Merchant Caravan was camping relatively at a lower level ground than you people.

For such just debate.. no need your personal translation on them..The most important factors for the translation of Qur'an you are overlooking. One of them told in Qur'an is
تَدَبُّرٌ Critical thinking Follow an inquiry based process use prior and background information
http//haqeeqat.pk/FacilitatorTadabbarCriticalThinking.htmSecond is
Qur’ān is rendered facilitative for comprehension by use of figures of speechBy unique device تَصْرِيفٌ like coverage of an event by multiple cameras

Lowest/Deepest point of earth discovered in Antarctica
https//www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-50753113
Time to update 303 translation ?
The Monotheist Group (The Quran A Monotheist Translation)
303 At the lowest part on the earth. But after their victory, they will be defeated.The deepest part of whole earth including land/water = mariana trench.
The deepest part of land earth was dead sea area.
Their findings are new updated information we must understand the matter with logical/technical approach.
Dosent matter its a glacier but what matter is that galcier is at LAND or at OCEAN?
Next thing to consider all oceans are infact on LAND.Btw lets say thats the deepest point what do u think the alternate translation?
1 low land (deepest on earth)
2 cheap land ( no value)
3 dead land ( no vegetation)
4 useless land ( not suitable for housing).
Look how many alternates are still there for that "ADNA" word.And lot more u can see how many times translations adjusted as per recent knowledge.
From flat to round theres a history of land and translations within nations lol.
