    Peace,

    And when We change (one) communication for (another) communication, and Allah knows best what He reveals, they say You are only a forger. Nay, most of them do not know. - Shakir

    16 101. When We substitute one revelation for another,- and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages),- they say, "Thou art but a forger" but most of them understand not. - Yusuf Ali

    16 101 And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.- Pickthall

    16102 And if We exchange a verse in place of another verse; and God is more aware of what He is revealing; they Say "You are making this up!" Alas, most of them do not know. - Free Mind

    Today, I can see it myself the meaning of the verse above...

    Shakir translation is 100% wrong, there is no such word that ean communication in the arabic text

    Man, again I wanna ask you...what do you understand by the English word "ego"????????? that made you to say that it is wrong??

    Ego = self pride and the ones who have ego I consider them arrogant

    see, that does not mean "Hawa", because Hawa is a desire not self pride, unless I understand ego wrong

      I know what it means damn well since I'm translating from Arabic to Swedish

      but I don't read swedish

      and currently Nizars poetry. I just wanted to show it to you, that's all, but that was a mistake.

      bro, at least say a message with it so I know what you mean

      What is your native language Ahmed?

      I believe i told this before, I wonder why you aske me the same question again

      And one more thing, you haven't respond to my latest post...

      ok I wil have a look, too may things I have to respond to, but I will respond

        Ahmed,

        I see where you're heading but I haven't yet figured out what cannot be reproduced similar to the Koran.

        Hello mate

        here it is

        The challenge, is to produce in Arabic , three lines, that do not fall into one of the sixteen al-Bihar of the Quran, that is not rhyming prose, nor like the speech of soothsayers, and not normal speech, that it should contain at least a comprehensible meaning and rhetoric, i.e. not gobbledygook.

        The Koran is written in a grammatically not too interesting manner.

        I'm sorry Tne grammar in the Quran is in the most excelent manner it can get, I have done great researches on that and will receive a massive reference about the grammar in the Quranm "in arabic" in about 4 weeks to prove it to all

        The grammar is not too difficult and it is clear,

        I'm sorry, you lack knowedge here, the grammar in the Quran is very tough and not for the faint hearted, I can prove what i said easily but with only native arabic speakers

        but still pretty poor.

        sorry bro, you are 100% wrong, as I said the grammar in the Quran is in the most excelence manner, the modern arabic used now is the one that should be described as poor

        It is what I would call the end of ancient and primitive Semitic languages. Modern compared to its ancestors, but still not too complex or refined. This is the Quraishi Arabic of the Koran.

        there is no such thing called Quraishi arabic, lol and sure the use of the arabic language in the Quran is not primitive and only incline that the author KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS COMPLEX LANGUAGE

        Since no one really doesn?t speak the language any longer (and the assertion that there was no distinctive difference between street and literal language, cannot really be confirmed, can it?) it is obviously more difficult for someone to create a language similar too it. But it can still be made.

        The Quran Arabic always sounds modrn to me, the Arabic I hear from other arabic speakers is the one I call primitive, not accurate and full of grammar errors

        Let?s just take Sanskrit as an example. An extremely old and complex language that I for myself is fully able to write just like the old Hindu writers did thousands of years ago. So what would be different about the Quraishi Arabic of the Koran? I can?t figure it out!

        sorry I'm not comparing the Quran arabic with the Sanskrit because you can't compare two different things

        for example you can cmpare the Egyptaiin Arabic with the Iraqi Arabic but not with chinease

        and again there is no sich thing called qurashi arabic, unless you mean the qurish people accent?, if this is the case then the quran was not written in their accent because non of them managed to produce a sura like it

        If someone about 1400, 1300 years ago perceived this ?challenge? the same way you do and did come up with ?something similar to it?, we can?t really know, can we?

        well we can resport to the history records and enahance our knowledge, at least there is no record as such that someone manged to do it as if there is any I reckon that person will be the most famous person in the world who maged to beat the Quran challenge

        salam

          see, that does not mean "Hawa", because Hawa is a desire not self pride, unless I understand ego wrong

          Its not wrong..but your understanding is too narrow....

          being a person with ego never mean arrogant.... one is an arrogant person when he/she let his/her ego control himself/herself...

          in the dictionary

          ego means self-pride / self-importance / self-esteem/

          when you say you desire something...it means you "want/hope/wish/"

          desire

          n 1 the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state
          2 an inclination to want things;

          so, when you want something... isn't that lead to ego? self-importance? as you said...you love your wife? isn't that mean you want / have passion of her? So, isn't that mean self-importance???

          you can't just look at the meaning on the surface, its like reading a poem....u need to look at it deeper...

          p/s I wonder if any of you could understand my explaination...

            Its not wrong..but your understanding is too narrow....

            sure narrow, because I donlt stretch things to suit my "Hawa", I mean my "Desire"

            but I still insist that "hawa" does not mean "ego" and now I consider this a lie

            being a person with ego never mean arrogant....arrogant, one is an arrogant person when he/she let his ego control himself...

            that is fine, i never claimed to be a flunet english speaker to translate an english word to another, you were just wasting my time with a very weak argument

            in the dictionary

            ego means self-pride / self-importance / self-esteem/

            so?

            when you say you desire something...it means you "want/hope/wish/"

            that if you use it as a verb but as a noun desire means desiter = Hawa

            desire

            n 1 the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state
            2 an inclination to want things;

            as a verb yes

            as noun desire means desire = Hawa

            so, when you want something... isn't that lead to ego?

            I don't think so

            self-importance? as you said...you love your wife? isn't that mean you want / have passion of her? So, isn't that mean self-important???

            I don't think so

            you can't just look at the meaning on the surface, its like reading a poem....u need to look at it deeper...

            do you mean stretching it?

            p/s I wonder if any of you could understand my explaination...

            no me

            desire = hawa

              Ego means ''An exaggerated sense of self-importance''. similiary exaggerated self-esteem or self pride. it has a negative connotation to it.

              Peace!

                  that is a bit of a stretch bro, the arabci Quran is one text since revelation can you show two different Arabic Quran that are for sale, like the many english translatipons for sale?

                  Again, you don't get my message...Did I say Quran? I said "Koran" and I have seen hundreds type of Koran...Big, small, black and white, or coloured version...

                  Quran = Koran =

                  nice try regrarding the coloured Qurans you saw, lol I saw them too, but is the arabic texts between them are different? this may take you a few years to verify

                  so leave the arabic alone as you have no knowledge about it and according to 1736 "DO NOT ARGUE IF YOU LACK KNOWLEDGE",

                  Ohya..from where you got the translation for the above verse? can you please tell me...how it is translated as "argue"????

                  La Taqif, means do not stand, or don't stop at things that you lack knowledge in, EXACTLY AS WHAT YOU ARE DOING lol

                  we have a pefect match ladies and gents wink

                  Are you suggesting that we should "follow/accept blindly" if we can't argue???

                  No,

                  i never said that

                  Yes, I am always lack of knowledge...Thats why I always look for answers...

                  good but don't argue if you lack knowedge, 1736

                  But I don't "follow blindly" as Knowledge came from answers and answers came from questions and if nobody argues...it means everyone has found the "truth"....

                  sure, I don't follow blindly either, but I don't argue when I lack knowledge, 1736

                  not sure what you mean by still understand wiothout the Quran? what you will still understand? can you be specific?

                  I said "koran" not "Quran"..again you are twisting your words..

                  Quran = Koran =

                  this is a clear cut non sense, the quran explains every thing we need to prosper as well it explains itself in the most accurate of ways

                  Can you tell me where on "Koran" I can find an explaination on how to use "Adobe Photoshop"? I want to learn it but still looking for the best book to learn that subject..

                  not sure if you need to know adobe photo shop to prosper lol

                  haha, thanks for the laugh,

                  try the bible, at least we know it was corrupt by humans possibly they inserted it there?, not sure wink

                  well, explanation to what exactly?, can you be more specific, is it life, quran, hell, god,...... there are many things that are needed to be explained, and sure most are explained in the perfect and complete arabic quran

                  and now you say "most"..I thought you said it explains everything?

                  a lie

                  i highlighted what i said in red

                  I said EVERYTHING WE NEED TO PROSPER

                  Ok, nevermind,

                  sure I should nevermind because it was a lie

                  I need to learn "photoshop" can you please show me a verse that will explain to me about photoshop?

                  as I suggested try the bible

                  thanks...

                  no worries

                    Peace!

                    its not neccessarily "exaggerated"...It can also be just

                    Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.

                    http//www.answers.com/topic/ego

                    As I said, it depends on how far u understand the word...

                      well read above 6/6, your copy and past dictinart says

                      an inclination to want things

                      TO BLOODY WANT

                      would that sound like a verb to you?

                      what a confuser you are

                          1. To put forth reasons for or against; debate
                          2. To attempt to prove by reasoning; maintain or contend The speaker argued that more immigrants should be admitted to the country.

                            well read above 6/6, your copy and past dictinart says

                            TO BLOODY WANT

                            would that sound like a verb to you?

                            Man, do you know what is the different between noun and verb?

                                Ego means ''An exaggerated sense of self-importance''. similiary exaggerated self-esteem or self pride. it has a negative connotation to it.

                                Peace!

                                thanks for the info, you also proved my point that szrin is trying to stretch it to give the word "hawa" a negative feeling so the verse I posted about the people who follow their hawa will be specific to the ones who are following a negative attitude "ego", therefore he can exclude himself freely as if he believes that he does not have ego "hawa"

                                see, clear as light

                                happy new year

                                peace

                                  peace,

                                  well if you think the word "ego" is only something negative..then I can't do anything..its just like saying a "fire" is only a negative element...

                                        Hi zsrin and Ahmed Bahgat,

                                        Hi zsrin,

                                        see, that does not mean "Hawa", because Hawa is a desire not self pride, unless I understand ego wrong

                                        .
                                        being a person with ego never mean arrogant.... one is an arrogant person when he/she let his/her ego control himself/herself...
                                        in the dictionary
                                        ego means self-pride / self-importance / self-esteem/

                                        Ego means ''An exaggerated sense of self-importance''. similiary exaggerated self-esteem or self pride. it has a negative connotation to it.

                                        its not neccessarily "exaggerated"...It can also be just
                                        Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.
                                        http//www.answers.com/topic/ego
                                        As I said, it depends on how far u understand the word...

                                        I agree. ' Ego' can also mean ''appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem''.
                                        Its more often used as ''exagerated''

                                        But literally, yes, ur meanings are right as well.

                                          that is a bit of a stretch bro, the arabci Quran is one text since revelation can you show two different Arabic Quran that are for sale, like the many english translatipons for sale?

                                          Again, you don't get my message...Did I say Quran? I said "Koran" and I have seen hundreds type of Koran...Big, small, black and white, or coloured version...

                                          Quran = Koran =

                                          nice try regrarding the coloured Qurans you saw, lol I saw them too, but is the arabic texts between them are different? this may take you a few years to verify

                                          whats the difference ?!
                                          salam.
