=[ Difference between Al-Kitaab and Al-Quraan ]=

PEACE, IDOL,
Al kitaab (the Book) is an metaphor for life itself, the universe. The God creates by SPEECH "be" and it becomes. By the WORD. We are all "words" as are all creation. Al kitaab is the GRAND BOOK that we are all part of. It is THIS BOOK that is to be read(quran).
2775 And there is nothing concealed in the heaven and the earth but it is in a clear book.
2775 Wama min ghaibatin fee assamai walardi illa fee kitabin mubeen
413 A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail;- a Qur'an in Arabic, for people who understand;-
413 Kitabun fussilat ayatuhu quranan AAarabiyyan liqawmin yaAAlamoon.
Clearly, then, kitab, is used for both Al-Quran, that body of work from Al-Fathihah to Al-Nas, and , as you've pointed out, the Universe at large. What is important for me is that, both are fully detailed/omitting nothing relative to man's guidance , thus, obivating any need for extra-Quranic sources i.e. sunnah and hadith, for one's guidance.

Peace PB, All
The word Kitaab has more than one meaning. One of them is the Divine Laws that Allah has created the universe according to them.
The word Fussilat does not mean detailed. It means cut to the exact (if I would translate it from the dictionary). You can check Fussilat's meaning in most of the Arabic dictionaries (if you know Arabic) in this link http//qamoos.sakhr.com/idrisidic_1.asp?Sub=%dd%d5%e1%ca
You will not find the words shar7 or Is-hab which both mean detail.

salams all,
this thread escaped my attention, or i would have posted sooner.
There is a difference between Al-Kitaab and Al-Quraan.
It can be seen from the following verses
"Thaalika AL-KITAABU laa raiyba feehi, hudan-LILMUTTAQEEN" 22
"Shahru Ramadhaanal-lazee unzila feehi AL-QURAANU hudan-LIN-NAAS" 2185
Al-Kitaab is a guidance for Muttaqeen
Al-Quraan is a guidance for NaasThis both cannot be the same.
You need to look more carefully at the beginning of surah 2. There are 2 groups of people, muttaqeen (those people who wish to save themselves from the various thorns in their path) and those who are not (kuffar). People who are not muttaqeen means people who do not care to save themselves from the various thorns their paths may encounter. They don't care if the path they have taken will lead them straight off of a cliff. They are more interested in immediate joys and immediate rewards, rather than their future rewards/punishments. The Quran says about these people, it is the same whether you warn them or not! And that makes sense, since obviously, if the Quran is meant for those who WANT to protect their future, it will be wasted on someone who does not truly care about their future!
In that verse, it does not say that this book is not for them. It says it makes no difference whether you warn them or not. But, of course this book and this religion has been sent for the guidance of humanity as a whole.
if you read it (Al-Quraan), you may not get the explaination. But if you look at the writing (Al-Kitaab) you will surely get the explaination how it is refering to washing.
I dont know if you're being serious here. Are you saying al-kitaab is inaccessible then, to the blind person or visually impaired?? This distinction you are making is purely artificial and superficial and is not substantiated in the roots. If your knowledge of Arabic is deep, you can interpret verses just by hearing them... there is nothing magical about seeing it in writing with your eyes.
For the time being i'll ignore the rest of the grammatical discussion which is irrelevant to the point at hand.
kitaab is a general word but is very often used to refer to the Quran. The context lets us know what the usage is, and in 22, it refers to the Quran.
413 is another good example.
As far as the meaning for FA-SA-LA, brother Taj, you need to investigate deeper than a dictionary. Because the dictionary will reduce words to a simple explanation like cut, but in reality, fa-sa-la means to separate 2 things in a way that you know where one stops and the other begins. To a simpleton this may sound like cutting, but it reality it entails a great ability to discern between things. You can find a more detailed explanation can be found in any lexicon (since you read Arabic).

According to the following definition, fussilat, is a deritive of fasala-detailed
Main Entry FASALA/DETAILED expatiate into detail; fully detailed; make clear statements/clearly explained; distinct. page 428.
You wrote fussilat="cut to the exact". I'm having a difficult time distinguishing the difference between "cut to the exact" and fully detailed. When Allah, "cuts something to the exact", what about that thing, then, is not fully detailed?
Given your definition then, what, relative to the following definition of guidance, hasn't Allah, in His Quran, "cut exactly"?
Guidance the instructions on how to live a righteous life (not doing shirk) 2185 & 649, so that, one may pass the test of conduct 187, thus, avoiding Hell and gaining Paradise 649.], thus, obivating any need for extra-Quranic sources i.e. sunnah and hadith, for one's guidance.
2185 Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear Ayats for guidance and the criterion. ...So you may glorify Him that He has guided you; and perchance you shall be grateful.
187 That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.
649 The Day that He assembles you (all) for a Day of Assembly,- that will be a Day of mutual loss and gain (among you), and those who believe in Allah and work righteousness,- He will remove from them their ills, and He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever that will be the Supreme Achievement.

Greetings with peace,
If it means "cut to the exact", then it must be no more and no less. This meaning also does not allow other sources. In any case, whether it is "cut to the exact" or "fully detailed" in regards to guidance, what has been communicated is sufficient, i.e. the guidance is self-sufficient.

Can I ask you Based on what source did you get your translation? Because the link I gave to you

has Lisaan Al3arab, Al Ghaney, Al Wasee6, Al Mu7ee6.You wrote fussilat="cut to the exact". I'm having a difficult time distinguishing the difference between "cut to the exact" and fully detailed. When Allah, "cuts something to the exact", what about that thing, then, is not fully detailed?
Iwrote It means cut to the exact (if I would translate it from the dictionary). This is the closest I could come up with, but ?detailed? is just not there!
Given your definition then, what, relative to the following definition of guidance, hasn't Allah, in His Quran, "cut exactly"?
Not my definition, PB. Please check the link! Maybe you can translate what is in there better than me. Everything in the Quran is perfectly and exactly put, cut, drawn, designed. But the Quran does not go into details regarding many issues. As a matter of fact what I see is that the Quran is a perfect summary of Al Kitaab.
And I think that the AHadeeth that the traditional Muslims invented and are so badly clinging to is because they are so thirsty for details, details they couldn't find in the Quran, details about Salat, etc..Don't you think?And that is why you see them taking stories from the Bible and Torah.

I don't disagree, however, please give me your understanding of the following ayat

Is there any question in your mind that ayat 752 is referring to Al-Quran?

The term used for fully detalied in the above ayat is...fussalna fully detalied. Are you claiming that fussalna in the above ayat, means something other than fully detailed?

If everything is perfectly and exactly put, then, how is that not fussalna/fully detailed?
If there are no details as to how to perform the so-called ritual prayer/salat, then, the only rational explanation, given the definition of fussalna is, there is no ritual prayer to be performed, otherwise, a discrepancy/contradiction occurs.
Another question comes to mind, did Allah leave out any details when He created the Creation/Kitab?
Looking forward to your comments.

Yes, I use The Dictionary of the Holy Quran, Abdul Mannan Omar. He goes extensively into fasala and it means detailed.Ok, but! Where did Abdul Mannan Omar get his information from? Those classical Arabic-Arabicdictionaries I mentioned Lisaan Al3arab, Al Ghaney, Al Wasee6, Al Mu7ee6 and some others, which are not found in the internet, are really the main source for teh Quranic Arabic. They contain the old Arabic and no modern dictionary can do without them. Yes, sometimes the information in those old books might just shock you because their meanings might not match modern meanings!! I will give you an example
The Arabic word RAQAM. If you ask any Arab now old or young of what is the English equivilant of that word, they will ALL tell you NUMBER. However, if you check the old Arabic dicyionaries Lisaan Al3arab, Al Ghaney, Al Wasee6, Al Mu7ee6, you will not find that RAQAM means NUMBER!! It means other things that Brother Ayman mentioned in his debate with Edip on this thread
http//www.free-minds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3673&start=0
****A new meaning for "marqum" as "numerically structured" is invented without providing any argument as to why the clear Arabic meaning was not used. The meaning has no basis in classical Arabic dictionaries. Here is what the dictionaries say about the wordWasit
- . (. َ. 1." " . 2." " . " ".
Lisan Al 3arab
Clearly, Arabic dictionaries say that "marqum" means "written/recorded" or "whose letters are dotted". There is nothing in there about "numerically structured". ****
Can you see, PB, that a simple small word being mistranslated could collapse the whole theory of code 19?My point is From where did Abdul Mannan Omar bring his information?
In modern Arabic the word Fussilatt is used for detailed but not in the old classical Quranic Arabic.Now I apologize, PB, for not having the time to comment on the rest of your post. I promise to return to you later. This subject is very important to me and I am very interested to find out the exact meanings of "Kitaab". Every Ayah that contains the word "Kitaab" needs to be studied thoroughly. "Kitaab" may have a different meaning according to context, none of them could mean "Book". Because what is a book? Is it papers with a cover with words written in them? Is it a CD? Is it words carved in stone? Unless "Book" is used metaphorically!
however, please give me your understanding of the following ayat
2185 The month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the criterion...that you should exalt the greatness of Allah for His having guided you and that you may give thanks
752 For We had certainly sent unto them a Book, based on knowledge, which We explained in detail,- a guide and a mercy to all who believe.

salam br taj,
actually i often use a lexicon called Lughaat-ul-Quran which was written specifically with the Quran in mind, and really dives into the essences of the roots. But I usually refer to lisaan-ul-arab since that is the standard lexicon.
I tried using that web sites lisaan but for some reason it starts in the middle of fasl rather than the beginning! buggy?? but anyway, it does not mean detailed. (yet another mistake by Omar and his QD?). it essentially means to delineate between 2 different things, clarify etc. as a corollary to that, it can also mean cut into 2.
funny thing is that link you gave when I searched fasl it showed the meaning sharh! so i'm not sure how we are doing it differently.

I will tell you why the dictionary in your link is putting this word Shar7 or Sharh, because this is a modern English-Arabic, Arabic-English dictionary, most probably Al Mawrid, or maybe Al Munjid? Those modern dictionaries do not usually go far back to search for the classic Arabic. They would setlle for what is commonly known!

I don't know Omar nor heard of his dictionary, maybe because I disregard all the modern dictionaries. But if one is depending on modern dictionaries then one is likely to make many shocking (very common) mistakes as in the case of "Raqam" and "Marqoom"

Sorry for the late reply.
wamsahoo bi-ru-oosikum WA arjulikum ilal-ka'baiyni"
Is this wrong gramatically?As brother Taj said below, it is not wrong gramatically. Then what could be the purpose of using "wamsahoo bi-ru-oosikum WA arjulakum ilal-ka'baiyni"?
wamsahoo bi-ru-oosikum wa arjulakum ilal-ka'baiyni" is not wrong gramatically and it is more fluid than "wamsahoo bi-ru-oosikum wa arjulikum ilal-ka'baiyni"
I am looking for some more references... InshaAllah, I will quote them if I find.

Peace be upon you,
Peace be upon you too brother,
What is the "Al Quraan" that you are referencing? The word "quran" means "reading". That which is "read" is the entire visible Universe, which is truly an illusion. From time to time, human beings reach thier Divine Potentials and recieve direct inspiriation from God within. Then this is written down on pages. At no point is there the instruction to NAME certain pages "Al Quran".
There are only writings by humans, MANY OF THEM, which we must listen to and follow the BEST, and the BEST is decided by debate(hajja) and verification.
Simply as you said "Quraan" means "Reading". It may refer to any book or paragraph or sentence, etc.. But when "Al" is added to it then it will become "The Reading" that is refering only to Al-Quraan that is in Arabic language, sent for the mankind for guidance from Allah.
Like
"Raheem" may refer to any one who is merciful. But
"AlRaheem" is the only ONE who is The Merciful.I agree with you that all the signs / verses of AlQuraan is visible universally.

Sorry brother, I think you misunderstood. We were discussing something on the Al-Kitaab (which is written) not actually the grammer.
The actual question is why
"wamsahoo bi-ru-oosikum wa arjulakum ilal-ka'baiyni" is used instead of

Does this really matter if it does not say that it is not for them?
And it is not this book brother, it is that book.

"And We have cited in this Quran so they may remember, but it only increases their aversion!" 1741if you read it (Al-Quraan), you may not get the explaination. But if you look at the writing (Al-Kitaab) you will surely get the explaination how it is refering to washing.

" "
"Those are the ones to whom We have given the book, and the law, and the prophethood, if they reject it, then We will entrust it to a people who will not reject it." 689
The book (singular) is given to all the Prophets. From your understand Al-Quraan is given to all the Prophets?

How would you disregard grammar if you are discussing written (or read) sentences whether they are Ayat or not?Yes you are right. But ...

religion authorities?
What I understand is everything word by word has been send from Allah. No religion authorities interfearance allowed. But Allah is the one who made it easy for non-Arabs.
It is not simply that to avoid confusion it might have written. No, but there are specific patterns or forms on which all the ayats / signs / verses has been designed.
Like if you take a closer look at 56 that we are discussing on. If
"Arjulakum" is used, it is refering to washing of legs. Or else if
"Arjulikum" is used, it would refer to wiping of legs. As per the pattern of that verse.Please follow the discussion from the beginning for more details.

Anyway, regarding Arjulakum and Arjulikum, both call for wiping and not washing, because the word appear in another sentence following the one concerning washing the faces and hands-till-elbows.
