Why shirk is a gross sin and unforgivable!
-
That translator seems not aware that an Active Participle also has a pronoun in it that is referent for a particular entity. And that such words have real sense as well as aspect.
No negative trait is attributable to Allah rhe Exalted.
peace, correct not exactly translatable although read in positive not negative

If you translate as" GOD IS ARROGANT" you will have a big contradiction with "GOD IS MERCIFUL" and "GOD IS FORGIVING" and -Lahu AL Asmau Alhusna- GOD has only good attributes.
"
MUTAKABBIR for GOD means "Above anyone and anything"/ Has no need for anyone or anything/ Most dignified/ Self sufficient...
GOD bless.
Peace. -

For me, it's not a negative trait because He is the Waheed who lives independently and needs nothing from others.
Arrogant only negative for the humans (imperfect entities). The perfect one such as God is different. This trait is the manifestation of His Dignity and the Oneness.Just my take!

I think there is no contradiction. As I mentioned earlier in post 1
"They said "Al Mutakabbir (المُتَكَبِّرُ)" means proud/arrogant. AND that's why if anybody commits shirk, this attribute (Al Mutakabbir) supersedes other attributes such as the Forgiver and the Merciful''
Just imagine a very good person (good behavior, do a lot of charity, etc) will be ended in hellfire if he is an idolater (shirk to Allah a.k.a take other god besides GOD). There is no mercy at all and there is no forgiveness from God. Why? Honestly I do not know the answer, but some people say it is related to the God attribute of Al-Mutakabbir. God is very proud of Himself and will not compromise if His servants take other idols beside Him. That's the only way to describe the 'shirk' is a gross sin and unforgivable. But anyway that's only their opinion, maybe wrong maybe right!

Punishment to criminals is built in part of ArRaheem. Arrogance and proudness has nothing to do with punishment.

To my friends here,
I just want to repeat my previous question
Please answer it YES or NO (honestly without any pre-assumption or prejudice)My question is
If we translate literally word by word and we put "arrogant" instead of "Supreme/greatened/etc" and leave it to people to self-interprete themself,
Is it wrong or not?*What I understand, linguistically Al-Mutakabbir (المتكبر) literally means "The arrogant".
*Google translate also confirmed the same. -

*Google translate also confirmed the same.This is your ASPECT, the way you see something or someone. So no agreement. Arrogance has nothing in reality. It is exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or importance often by an overbearing manner.
When grandeur is reality, it is not arrogance.
Translate it with arrogant?

Thanks bro Mazhar and Bro Noon for the inputs
But i'm still adhering to my believe that the word of Al-Mutakabbir (المُتَكَبِّرُ ) can literally translate as "The arrogant"Just to wrap up my points
I think the literal meaning of Al-Mutakabbir should be equal to "The arrogant"
The translator should avoid using his opinion in translating quran
Don't be bias or make presumption and prejudice in translating
Just give the literal translation of Al-Mutakabbir (المُتَكَبِّرُ )and it's up to the reader to interpret itThe God's nature will be vague if some God attributes in the quran are not translate literally
Other example is the attribute of Zun-Tiqam (ذُو انتِقامٍ) in verse 34
Some say it's means Lord of Retribution/Able to Requite/capable to revenge/extracting in Revenge/etc
But not many dare to translate it as Avenger (RK) and Vengeful (Arberry)We as God servants are not entitled to decide which attributes are good or bad.
God is the Wahed who lives independently and needs nothing from others.
Arrogant only a bad trait for humans (imperfect entities) but not for the perfect one such as God.
This trait is the manifestation of His Dignity and The Oneness.Don't take for granted the attributes of Merciful and Forgiving
Because in some cases these attributes will be superseded by attribute of "The Arrogant"
AND that's why the shirk is unforgivable sin but other sins is "negotiable"Al-Mutakabbir for me is one of the dominant attributes in God's Asmaul-husna
Shirk in any form is a doom to mankind.
So we must be very careful about the attribute of Al-Mutakabbir!Ends.
May God keep us away from shirk
Thank you.

*Just my opinion, maybe correct may be not!Salam aleykoum,
So you translate God as "The arrogant" in ? Strange..but your choice.
l-mutakabbir = literally translate as the possessor of all/intense greatness. (Form V which express an intensive sense of form I for this intransitive verb)
Only God can proclaim himself the possessor of a high greatness (it is a fact).
Attributed to humans it takes a negative meaning in the Quran "take pride in sth".Peace

More proof that The Oneness should have the attribute of Arrogance (very proud of Himself)
If there were gods in them except for God, then they would have been ruined. Glory be to God, the Lord of the Throne from what they describe (FM translation)

a flaw, a lie. While Allah has no such flaws.Remember Iblis was arrogant and was dismissed by Allah. But if Allah says

Bro Noon!
I don't understand your Code and its relevance to the topic we are discussing here.
But if you refer to Al-Muzzammil method, please take note that this particular method only uses the combination of "Chapter and verse" or "verses alone" and NOT "Chapter alone". Using Chapter alone without verse is null and void! -

My New Stand
At the beginning of the discussion I feel very unsure about God's attribute of Al-Mutakabbir (المُتَكَبِّرُ)Quote (Reply #11)
"Just imagine a very good person (good behavior, do a lot of charity, etc) will be ended in hellfire if he is an idolater (shirk to Allah a.k.a take other god besides GOD). There is no mercy at all and there is no forgiveness from God. Why? Honestly I do not know the answer, but some people say it is related to the God attribute of Al-Mutakabbir. God is very proud of Himself and will not compromise if His servants take other idolaters beside Him. That's the only way to describe the 'shirk' is a gross sin and unforgivable. But anyway that's only their opinion, maybe wrong maybe right!"But with the latest findings of these two verses
2122 Why, were there gods in earth and heaven other than God, they would surely go to ruin; so glory be to God, the Lord of the Throne, above that they describe! (Arberry)
1742 Say, "If there were any other gods beside Him, as they claim, they would have tried to overthrow the Possessor of the throne." (RK)AND this coding (on Reply #1
"5923 He is the One God; there is no other god besides Him. The King, the Most Sacred, the Peace, the Most Faithful, the Supreme, the Almighty, the Most Powerful, the Most Dignified (المُتَكَبِّرُ). God be glorified; far above having partners (the first word of المُتَكَبِّرُ mentions in the Quran)

Position 7 Disbelievers ... refers to people mentions in verse 2121

(Indication Verse 2122 is interrelated to attribute المُتَكَبِّرُ)"Now I am quite sure that the attribute "Arrogance" is one of the "God's asmaul-husna" (as the manifestation of His dignity and the Oneness) and the Quran translation by Prof. Dr. H. Mahmud Yunus (Indonesian) is very correct.
NoteThe attribute of Al-Mutakabbir (المُتَكَبِّرُ) is only for God alone and Not for others. Human/jinn or other God's creations are strictly forbidden.
Thank you.

My dear friends,
In the Old Testament I found a God's attribute called "Jealous"For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
Since the translation of God's attributes in the Quran seems very "tailor-made" (at least for me)
I'm not sure whether this attribute (jealousy) is also mentioned in the Quran.My question for the arabic experts here, may I know
Is there any God's attribute in the quran literally means this kind of attribute (a jealous god)?
OR Is there any Quran verses confirming this attribute!Note I'm in the process of learning God's attributes based on true reality not based on translator's assumptions. With this study I hope I will understand the true nature of God. Forgive me my Lord if I'm mistaken and please give me Your guidance and mercy!
Glory be to God.

Peace shukri.
Then you have to pursue your line of thoughts and see where it gets you?Next you will come across "GOD is the best of the MAKIREEN" and you need to reflect on all the good and bad things that come from good and evil and weigh up the GOD attributes regarding the evil thinking side!
GOD bless you.
Peace.
