the reading(quran) is not the title of any book

[unknownuser]

Ahmed,

I'm dying to hear about the challenge now.
Please tell us about it so that we maybe can give it a go!

Bro

I posted it twice, if you want to take on it you need to spend about 2 years studying arabic and mastering all the secrets of this language, and believe me there are secrets "LOL after you do this, i'm sure you will understand what is required to pass, it will be a waste of time for me and you to explain more than what i have done already,

but truely if you are inteested there is only one way to be able to have a go, YOU NEED TO MASTER THE ARABIC LANGUAGE lol , I'm flunet but I'm not a master in it wink

would like to see the rest of the trials all over the history?

Hey, never mind about the language skills. I've been studying Arabic for almost ten years. I think I can manage. The only thing I want you to do is formulate the challenge. Not by endless assertions joined with random Koranic verses. Just pick out the crucial part, i.e. what the challenge is about. What is it about the challenge that no person has been able to do.

If there is a challenge inside the Koran, then certainly there can't be a problem for you simply stating what it is.

Now, would you mind just state - in your own words - what challenge there is. Please!

To write a sura like the Quran

First of all, what I was trying to say by Koran is "the book", and the "Quran"(reading) that is in the Koran never refer to the book that most of the people understand...please look at the topic of the discussion...I used the wod "Koran" to differentiate it with "Quran"(reading...) that I understand..

IF that is too hard for you to understand..I won't call it Koran anymore..instead I'll call it just as a "book"...

[zsrin]

Peace PeacefulMuslim,

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.

http//www.answers.com/topic/vain

Got the answer?

Anyway, you need to understand that "ego" represent a state of mind, a "consciousness", if you look at Oxford dictionary, the meaning of "ego" is "a person self", so anything related to "self" or "consciousness" is "ego"..."human WILL" is also an ego..."love" is also an ego...the word hatred,desire,care and everything dealt with our "consciousness" is an "ego"....if you're studying 'psychology"..it won't be hard for you to understand...

All the above quotes from the dictionary is just something for me to let you understand in a language context...To really understand it..you need to understand the law of the universe...

I hope that will help...Its the same thing when you try to understand the word "Quran" (reading)...it can't be a book, because the Quran is for everyone living in this world...so it can't be a book...because if it is a book..how do you think a "blind man" can read the book??

Understand now??

I'm open for a challenge for those people who can "think"!

Hope the examples helped in understanding the difference in the usage.
We cant misapply meanings, to suit our purpose.

u got it wrong. ego means feelings pertaining to self. such as self-esteem, self-pride. it does not constitute all the feelings one feels but those feelings he feels for himself.
Here's what the oxford says

ego

/eego, ego/

? noun (pl. egos) 1 a person?s sense of self-esteem or self-importance. 2 Psychoanalysis the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for the interpretation of reality and the development of a sense of self.

So, human will is not ego, love, hatred etc are not ego. U got it wrong. it has to be self-love, self-hatred etc..

I hope that will help...Its the same thing when you try to understand the word "Quran" (reading)...it can't be a book, because the Quran is for everyone living in this world...so it can't be a book...because if it is a book..how do you think a "blind man" can read the book??
Understand now??
I'm open for a challenge for those people who can "think"!

There are more blind people(as in blind from their lack of usage of brains) than those without eyesight.

And if Quran is for everyone, in the world, why cant it be a book?
God says in Quran, that Quran is for those who can read and understand. So, in that sense, people with no brains or those who blind fold themselves wont be able to understand Quran.

And for people without eyesight who wish to know the contents of the Quran, it can be read out to them, or they can be given a book in their coded language for them to read.

And man can count always on his own conscience, which contains God's spirit, to guide us, anyways.

Peace!

[zsrin]

And when its implied on a person's behaviour, it takes the meaning ''selfish''

isn't that same as ego? ego = self-pride/self-importance/selfish ?

So, whats the point there? isn't all of them bring to the same conclusion that is "self"...

Science
ego (ee-goh)

The ?I? or self of any person (ego is Latin for ?I?). In psychological terms, the ego is the part of the psyche that experiences the outside world and reacts to it, coming between the primitive drives of the id and the demands of the social environment, represented by the superego.

The term ego is often used to mean personal pride and self-absorption ?Losing at chess doesn't do much for my ego.?

Medical
e?go ('g, g'&#333
n.

In psychoanalytic theory, the division of the psyche that is conscious, most immediately controls thought and behavior, and mediates between the person and external reality.

WordNet
Note click on a word meaning below to see its connections and related words.

The noun ego has 3 meanings

Meaning #1 an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others
Synonyms egotism, self-importance

Meaning #2 your consciousness of your own identity
Synonym self

Meaning #3 (psychoanalysis) the conscious mind

you see, you can't just take ego as a self-pride...u need to look at it in more detailed...self-pride etc is just the sub-set of our state of mind...

In order to understand more..I suggest you get about related to psychology or anything in that topic..

So, human will is not ego, love, hatred etc are not ego. U got it wrong. it has to be self-love, self-hatred etc..

See, you gave the answer yourself...

Ask yourself...Why do you love your mom?
Because she is your mom..
She cares about you..

see, everything is "related" to you...yourself"...

And hatred..why do you hate someone??? is because they do something bad to YOU.. or did something that made YOU unhappy!

Would you "hate" someone that never do anything to you?Or do anything that made you unhappy?
NO.

You understand now? everything is related to "self"?

you won't be able to "love" or "hate" anyone that has nothing to do with yourself

So, tell me, which of my explaination is wrong?

There are more blind people(as in blind from their lack of usage of brains) than those without eyesight.

And if Quran is for everyone, in the world, why cant it be a book?
God says in Quran, that Quran is for those who can read and understand. So, in that sense, people with no brains or those who blind fold themselves wont be able to understand Quran.

blind folded and physically blind is two different things and what is "read"?

And for people without eyesight who wish to know the contents of the Quran, it can be read out to them, or they can be given a book in their coded language for them to read.

if its is a book...

So, how if nobody is going to explain to them? How are they going to know that the one reading to them is not cheating them? Even if you can "read" to them, and let say you read to them the verse below

"He is the One who made the sun to emit light, and the moon to reflect it, and He measured its phases so that you would know the number of the years and the count. God has not created this except for truth. He details the revelations for a people who know." - 106

How are they suppose to verify the verse above? How is "the book" suppose to explain anything to them????

Do you think god forgot that "blind" people won't be able to see the sun and the moon to understand the "verse" above??

And man can count always on his own conscience, which contains God's spirit, to guide us, anyways.

Peace!

So, who needs "the book" then???

[zsrin]

Oh yeah, I found a link that will let u understand more about "ego"

http//www.livereal.com/psychology_arena/what_is_ego.htm
http//www.meaningoflife.i12.com/ego.htm

"ego" is a subject that will take time to understand...so, don't rush...

[unknownuser]

Hello zsrin

I believe you suffer from high level of ego according to the definitions you keep bringing in

chill out man and drop your ego wink

[zsrin]

peace,

Perhaps, because "I want" people to "open their mind"...I "want" people to gain more knowledge...cause I "want" a peaceful world with no "discrimination"....you see, I myself have an ego..because "I want"...but to say that as a "high level ego".. I don't think so...because if I am having a "high level ego" I won't bother to share my knowledge..in other words..I would be a selfish guy... wink

the signficance of that is to prove that what you are writing is comong from someone knowledgable, not a new kid on the block

So basically, the miraceleous part is about someone with knowledge comes up with the text? A kid of the block simply won't do it. Got it. So the one knowledgeable, is there anyone that needs to authorize the level of this person's knowledge?
Does this miracle part even say in the "challenge" verse or did you make it up?

well I don't know what that Qurishi arabic you are talking about, but if it makes you feel good to write in it, please do

Well, the Arabic of the Koran and the modern standard arabic are not consistent. Haven't you noticed?
The dialect used in the Koran is often refered to as Quraishi Arabic.

Does this miracle part even say in the "challenge" verse or did you make it up?

Well that?s because you see the Koran as stunning. Another may consider it ?interesting? or a third thinks of it as ?fairly well written?. So as the challenge asks for a ?chapter like it?, are you the one to distinguish that ?stunning? is the term that it has to be referred to as?

Well, the Arabic of the Koran and the modern standard arabic are not consistent. Haven't you noticed?

No I didn't, but I think the Qurishi Arabic (accent) is very advanced from what I know

Judge for yourself, it?s in the Koran. For myself I think it?s sufficient and that?s about it.

The dialect used in the Koran is often refered to as Quraishi Arabic.

where is the verses that suggest that?

Well, the Arabic of that time and place is not consistent with the one that is known as ?Arabic? today so it makes sense that modern linguists has come with a term to separate them. And this is the reason why it is not given the name ?Quraishi Arabic?. That would be as stretched as we refer to the language of our conversation to be ?Old 21st century English?, knowing that it will evolve in the future.

i might have said it wrong, excuse my ignorance in english,

what I mean that your work will be the thing that you will be judged on regarding a the stunning sura you are planning to create

Yeh becaise I know the language fluently and it is my native tongue I can see how stunning it is, but I don't expect new learners in the language or the non arabic speaker will even sense 1% of it

Well, the Arabic of the Koran and the modern standard arabic are not consistent. Haven't you noticed?

No I didn't, but I think the Qurishi Arabic (accent) is very advanced from what I know

Judge for yourself, it?s in the Koran. For myself I think it?s sufficient and that?s about it.

excuse me, qurish was not the author of the Quran, so I wonder why you say the arabic quran is a qurishi arabic, can you provide any evidence from the Quran?

The dialect used in the Koran is often refered to as Quraishi Arabic.

where is the verses that suggest that?

Well, the Arabic of that time and place is not consistent with the one that is known as ?Arabic? today so it makes sense that modern linguists has come with a term to separate them.

That would be as stretched as we refer to the language of our conversation to be ?Old 21st century English?, knowing that it will evolve in the future.

not sure about what you say, as far as native aravbic speaker can see, the Arabic quran is one piece of excpetional and stunning arabic and sure can't be matched unless you will succeed in your mission of creating a stunning sura like the Quran
