Peace Wakas,

Could you quote the dictionnaries where you have found the informations I Have underlined ?

Thanks in advance,

Wakas

peace JM,

Its from Lane's Lexicon. I have the CD Rom and unfortunately it doesn't give page references but anyone who has the actual books can verify what I wrote and provide a specific page reference if you want it.

Some of it can also be found in DofQ.

Your constant begging & pleading with a Christian to give you the definitions of the words in your book of faith, is rather degrading towards you?.don?t you think??

Peace Apple Pie,

Your language has become quite unacceptable not to mention the flawed logic contained therein. I might add the degrading behaviour is in the manner you speak as an intellectual bully, nevermind what you pontificate.

It could be a desperation on your part since you are not making progress, you are becoming increasingly rhetorical and abusive. Whatever your reason this is not acceptable.

Salaam All,

If anyone wants to examine the faulty logic Apple Pie demonstrates just check out his logical reasoning. Here he asserts that someone is begging and pleading. Whether this is true or false is uncertain, and can not be proven, we can speculate on motives but there is no conclusive evidence. If a person makes such a false logical deduction how can you expect him to get his message right?

Other logical misconstructs are seeing things physically in all conditions as in the fire example. I see Apple Pie exhibiting fiery temperament and by his reasoning that would make him a demonic locust or satan....If the planes have wings then they must be angels etc...well OK that is a "clue"...

Apple Pie,

Your sincere and intellectually honest postings are welcome. However, learn something about human nature. Lay out the facts as you see it and let your message be in its emerging self. If you have to assert your message...well then you are sending other messages about you and people focus on that...

Peace

Wakas

peace All,

I had a brief discussion with Apple Pie a while ago (Oct 04), and based on that discussion, I decided not to read Apple's future posts.

In a way, its a pity, because the quality of information presented is very good, but the logic is severely flawed. Most, if not all, of Apple's arguments can be defeated by cross-referencing occurrence.

Also, I never said anything until now because people need to find out for themselves and make up their own mind if someone's posts are worthy of reading or not, but I can now see its not just me who thinks this.

Wakas

Tay

Peace Wakas,

Personally speaking, I agree, in that he does present some very good information. This is why I choose to keep reading his posts. I also agree that the connections he makes are flawed, which is a lesson in itself. In all, I have no problem with the man/woman, though I can no longer debate with him/her as it has proven fruitless time and again.

But I do have a problem with sweeping insults and find it difficult to bite my tongue in those situations where a person is disrespectful, particularly in this case, since the moderators(yourself included) have been more than welcoming and tolerant towards him/her.

Peace,
Tay

Andya_Primanda

I agree with Tay, Apple Pie has been abusing our tolerance. I kinda expected Apple to be a fair debater that is capable is saying 'I am wrong' if proven wrong, but I now know that this person is not like that.

Greetings shuaib,

Thanks for your kind words?

You quote a source which claims a primary meaning of husbaan is calamity, which is totally untrue. HUSBAAN is a neutral word that primarily is used to indicate a specified amount or return, but primarily the meaning is about counting. It does not mean calamity anymore than RESULT means calamity. In surah 55 (which you quote) it is used to claim that the sun/moon are under hisaab/counting i.e. a measured orbit.

It has NOTHING to do with blockage, or locusts.

(Incidentally, the reference for all of my claims here are straight from Lisaan-ul-Arab, Taj-ul-Aroos, or Lughaat-ul-Quran).

Thanks for positing your unreferenced opinion on the matter.

However, the classic definitions, as I have demonstrated, quite plainly paint the picture of a great calamity, comprised of punishment, evil, locusts, dust, smoke, and fire.

Using sources with false/biased information will lead to INCORRECT exegesis. You claim to use Lane's/other sources, but I think you rely primarily on the "other sources." You've tried pulling the wool over our eyes once already with respect to the root of jinn, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here.

Lane is the ?gold standard? in properly exegeting the Koran.

It is liquid gold, actually.

You use faulty logic in your exegesis.

The boy went to the store. And there he bought some bread.

According to your logic, the boy is a kind of bread. Needless to say this is a ridiculous statement, but that is EXACTLY what you are doing. Randomly linking words, claiming that just because the sentences are juxtaposed or connected with fa or wa, that the words are linked in meaning!

I have presented the context of the ayahs used in my exegesis?.and you are free to check them for yourself.

Context?after all...is what clinches the whole deal?

But that brings us back to the original question... does it say in Lane's that jinn have anything to do with locusts??? NO! The foremost Western Arabist according to you, did not think so, nor do ANY other lexicographers! And I bet, not even your faulty sources have directly claimed that jinn=locusts. You refuse to admit it but this idea is purely your own "brain"child. Nowhere do we find a person linking jinn with locusts except in your posts.

I have already repeatedly answered your redd herring several times.

As you stated previously?

Quote
I've simply asked WHERE in Lane's lexicon is there a statement that equates jinn with demonic locusts.

Lane has indeed provided the classic definitions that lend ample credence to equate the Jinn to Locusts.

Let?s review this simple example?

Fabi-ayyi ala-i rabbikuma tukaththibani

5513 Then with which (of) your Lord's blessings will you twain deny?

= ?tukaththibani?

?tukaththibani? definition

Masculine dual. Will you twain deny. It comes from the root ?kadhaba?, which means to lie, say what is not a fact, lie to, falsely invent, tell lies about or against, fabricate a lie, relate a lie, say a falsehood, be wrong, be cut off, deceive, disappoint the expectation of. It is also said to signify he spoke truth; so as to bear two contradictory meanings.

References
An Arabic-English Lexicon, E.W. Lane, volume seven, pp. 2597 - 2600
The Dictionary of the Holy Qur?an, 1st edition, Abdul Mannan Omar, pp. 481 ? 482

Observe that this question is directed at TWO entities.

What are the two entities??

Mankind.

Jinn.

This same exact phrase is repeated all the way through sura 55.

Ever wonder why?.?

It is because the entire sura pertains to the two.

Interestingly?..the very first time that this phrase is used in the sura, occurs in 55.13.

Let?s look?

The merciful. (551)
He taught/instructed the Koran. (552)
He created the human/mankind. (553)
He taught/instructed him the evidence/logic. (554)
The sun and the moon with a Calamity. (555)
AND, the star/planet
AND, and the trees, they (B) prostrate. (556)
8 ) AND, the sky/space He rose it,
AND, He laid/put/raised the scale/measuring instrument. (557)
That you not tyrannize/exceed the limit in the scale/measuring instrument. (558 )
AND, keep up the weight/measure with the just/equitable,
AND, do not reduce/decrease (cheat) in the scale/measuring instrument. (559)
AND, the earth/Planet Earth, He laid it for the creation. (5510)
In it (are) fruits
AND, the palm trees that of the buds/covers from which fruits
AND, flowers emerge. (5511)
AND, the seed/grain (of) the husk/chaff/external cover of seeds,
18 ) AND, the basil/fragrant plants. (5512)
SO, with which (of) your Lord's blessings will you twain deny? (55.13)
He created the human/mankind from dry mud/clay as the pottery/earthenware. (55.14)
AND, He created the Jinn from (the) flaming blazing torch mixed with blackened smoke from fire. (55.15)

Thus?we can clearly see that this phrase begins questioning Mankind and the Jinn BEFORE the ?creation? of Jinn in 55.15?..

This tells us that both Mankind and the Jinn had to have been described prior to 55.13.

Hence, since we now know that LOCUSTS are mentioned in 55.5, we can become quite confident that we were given an attribute of the Jinn in this ayah?

Additionally, guess where also makes an appearance?.?

That?s right?right in the heart of Jinn territory?.18.40?

Lane notes that the definition of LOCUSTS has also been assigned to 18.40?

Thus?we can see the evidence building beyond reasonable doubt?

Lastly?.

I?m glad to see that you only had to edit your post four times?

Does not need to be referenced, it was done so earlier.

Nevemind. Lets use your "definition"

= ?husbanin?

?husbanin? definition

Verb. Noun. Plural. Calamity; Punishment; an affliction with which a man is tried; Evil; Mischief; Locusts; Dust; Smoke; Fire; definite reckoning; appointed courses; Numbering; Revolving firmament; computation, account, Running appointed and scheduled courses; Affliction; Thunderbolt; it is also used as a collective noun meaning darts or lightning. It comes from the root ?hasiba?, which means to think; consider; suppose, imagine, be of opinion, to reckon, calculate.

Your assertion is not correct since

1-) You are ignoring many other definitions, the definition does not have to be calamity, punishment etc...you can not eliminate "appointed courses" of the sun and the moon for example.

2-) You failed to link "jinn" in any shape or form, you used the planes have wings then they must be angels logic. You need tangible evidence not wishful thinking

Lastly?.

I?m glad to see that you only had to edit your post four times?

Indeed?.let?s look at appointed courses?

?Running appointed and scheduled courses? is the one that that you have underlined.

So?.what exactly would be running?.?

Let?s look?

97

kai ta omoiwmata twn akridwn omoia ippois htoimasmenois eis polemon kai epi tas kefalas autwn ws stefanoi omoioi crusw kai ta proswpa autwn ws proswpa anqrwpwn

And the likenesses of the locusts like horses having been prepared for war; and on the heads of them as crowns like gold; and the faces of them as the faces of men.

The answer is clear?

The locusts (i.e. Jinn) are in the likeness of horses.

The horses are running.

That is how they are described in both the Book of Revelation and subsequently copied-over by the authors of the Koran.

2-) You failed to link "jinn" in any shape or form, you used the planes have wings then they must be angels logic. You need tangible evidence not wishful thinking

Actually, the evidence is overwhelming.

No one said that this is a formal discussion, if you want that standard you can't expect it by emposing it. You might be able to negotiate it.

?Running appointed and scheduled courses? is the one that that you have underlined.

So?.what exactly would be running?.?

Let?s look?

I have to stop you there, you are not looking at the same thing. The first argument is "running appointed and scheduled courses" and the second one which you chose to investigate is "what is running?".

Firstly, Its an ommission of "appointed and scheduled courses".

Secondly, you need to show from the quran that locusts, horses, dogs whatever run appointed courses.

To rephrase, that is your standard. Its not a requirement according to house rules. It could be agreed subject to negotiation between parties.

You did have it underlined?.did you not?..?

What I underlined from your definition is "running appointed courses", you addressed "running"

This is what I would appreciate you address...

Really??

Are they the same? If so how?

Is it??

How is "appointed courses" included then?

Take a look at sura 100?

And where is the logical link to the word "running appointed courses" then? Care to elaborate your position more robustly?

I already answered your query twice.

Sura 100.

Since you are unwilling (or unable) to perform any footwork whatsoever?.I have taken the liberty of showing the meaning behind the sura title?

Let?s look.

Sura 100?. ??.. ?alAAadiyati?

= ?al?

?al? definition

The definite article. In Arabic it is used to give the meaning of Most, All, Complete, Maximum, Whole, The, and to denote comprehensiveness, that is to say all aspects or categories of a subject, or to denote perfection and includes all degrees and grades.

Anything which has a quality requiring it to be regarded as sacred, or inviolable; which has some right pertaining to it.

It is also used to indicate something which has already been mentioned or a concept of which is in the mind of the writer or reader.

= ?adiyati?

?adiyati? definition

Feminine plural. The horsemen; i.e. the first, of the horsemen, that charge or assault, in a hostile, or predatory, incursion, especially; or horses making a hostile, or predatory, incursion. Panting; running; coursers; companies of warriors; chargers; horses of the warriors; wayfarers who run fast on their journey; swift horses, swift mares, the attacking forces/the horses. It comes from the root ?ada?, which means passed from it, namely, a thing, or an affair, to another, and left it, pass by, overlook, transgress, turn aside. He ran, or rose in his running; said of a man and of a horse; he ran vehemently; denoting a quick pace.

Thus?the outward rendering of the title?

= ?al? + ?adiyati? = ?alAAadiyati? = the hostile horses/horsemen/coursers

Let?s look at the definition of the operative word ?courser?, from Merriam Webster?

Main Entry 1course
Pronunciation 'kOrs, 'kors
Function noun
Etymology Middle English, from Old French, from Latin cursus, from currere to run -- more at CAR
1 the act or action of moving in a path from point to point
2 the path over which something moves or extends as a RACECOURSE b (1) the direction of travel of a vehicle (as a ship or airplane) usually measured as a clockwise angle from north; also the projected path of travel (2) a point of the compass c WATERCOURSE d GOLF COURSE
3 a accustomed procedure or normal action <the law taking its course> b a chosen manner of conducting oneself way of acting <our wisest course is to retreat> c (1) progression through a development or period or a series of acts or events (2) LIFE HISTORY, CAREER
4 an ordered process or succession as a a number of lectures or other matter dealing with a subject; also a series of such courses constituting a curriculum <a premed course> b a series of doses or medications administered over a designated period
5 a a part of a meal served at one time b LAYER; especially a continuous level range of brick or masonry throughout a wall c the lowest sail on a square-rigged mast

in due course after a normal passage of time in the expected or allotted time
of course 1 following the ordinary way or procedure 2 as might be expected

Thus?.it is quite clear?from just the title of sura 100, that the authors of the Koran are going to be telling us about the following

The hostile horsemen/horses
Running swiftly
They will be coursers i.e. running a course?.which is defined as ?the act or action of moving in a path from point to point; the path over which something moves or extends; an ordered process or succession; in the expected or allotted time"

So?yes?.the classic definition fits?.

lol So basically the connection between Jinn<>Husbanin<>Aadiyat disintigrated in to oblivion! Nevermind the fact that your dictionary definition did not say it must be all the above to qualify the definition. The dictionary did not say "AND" it said "OR" remember D

As for that statement, it is rhetorical.

This rhetorical framework does not work for me. It presupposes you are right and I am wrong. This is not a certainty.

I use the classic Arabic lexical definitions.

In addition, you have just shown ignorance for ?

You are good at coming up with false conclusions. And, your lexical definitions need to pass the criterion. Of course you know this, but you will not pass your conclusions through the Book of GOD, because you know it will fail you.

The Koran is clear that it copied over the prior Jewish and Christian scriptures?.hence, it involved more than one author?

This is one of your other conclusions derived from shady logical reasoning is it?

Perhaps you could refresh our memory as to the definition of ??

Perhaps you can answer a question in earnest, ONLY once? But no you need to be condescending...

Everyone is free to decide for themselves, correct.

At least we can agree on that, that is a relief! But somehow I doubt you mean it.

This should be a straight forward task, as you cannot even put forth a concerted effort into researching your replies?

Now that is your own perception and your own problem. I don't see it that way. You prefer that style whilst I prefer to examine the arguments for integrity.

Now, go back to square one and show us "running appointed courses=husbanin" and validate it through the Qur'an wink

Greetings Ash Shuura,

Thanks for sharing your opinion?

Actually, from your desperate response, it is clear that I have answered your repeat query of showing ANYTHING in the Koran that runs appointed courses?

I don't see you showing an example. You've jumped on to another word. Hence, I don't believe your answer was satisfactory for me. I was expecting an answer on "husbanin" and you jumped to "aadiyat".

Apparently, you have already forgotten about your previous ?challenge??.

Let?s refresh your memory?

Peace Apple Pie,

Thank you for NOT answering my question.

If you change your mind here it is, be my guest

Demonstrate the usage of running appointed and scheduled courses in the quran in examples that applies to locusts, bees, cattle or whatever animal you want based on your assertion.

Hence?.I have shown you the example from sura 100?

The ball is in your court to refute my response?

Thanks..
