Praise Be to Muhammad rasool Allah

Ayisha

Quoted
Of special interest always is what the name for Muhammad was in his mother tongue, Palestinian Aramaic. For this we have to look to the Hebrew and Aramaic scriptures. According to the present day Aramaic scriptures, the word for Muhammad would read "Paraqleyta" or "Paraklytos" in Greek and "Menahem" in Hebrew! In the ancient Aramaic scriptures, before these changes, it read "Ahmad," then Munahammana" which is the Aramaic/Syriac rendering for the name "Muhammad." These are names, not simply words, and they mean "Comforter" or "Muhammad" in Arabic.

I did say spare me the online slanging site raj

Ayisha

Do you not agree that personal/location Names are not translated in other languages?

Is Isa Aramaic or Hebrew?

Raaajah

I did say spare me the online slanging site raj

I don't know what rubbish you are talking about?

"we have not the least doubt the word "Perikalutas" rendered in english as "comforter was not the one uttered by Jesus christ, but it was "parakeletos", meaning "illustrios" or "renowned" in every respect to the word "Ahmad" Sir William Muir says that the word Ahmad must have been errenously employed as translation of Perikalutas in some arabic version of New testament, and it was forged by some ignorant Monk in Muhmmad's time (Muir, life of Muhamaet)
www.aail.org

the particular spelling of the word is irrelevant raj, why does it have to be paraklytos (greek) when Jesus and John spoke Aramaic?

are you kidding? or you really not getting it? are you reading what is being posted?

ok so why would he still say a Greek word if he spoke Hebrew?

Now Iam sure you are not reading even a single word, and just trying to reply as fast as you can.
and Yes,
Where did you got 99 names of Allah? you did not respond?

The name Prasied one used by allah for the Messenger, was well known to the people of scriptures as the Ayat of Allah has shown us, which you donot consider?
Just answer me that do you believe in the following ayat

follow the messenger, the gentile prophet , whom they find written in their Torah and Gospel.......

if you do? How is Muhammad pointed out in the Torah and Gospel?
Why Allah calls him by the name of Muhammad in Quran?
What is the meaning of word Muhammad?

Any site can have helpful material, this is just a way to have an excuse, for not reading material that doesnot fits your thoughts, decide on merit.

That wasn't the same you posted before Raj. Have you actually read this?

Now Iam sure you are not reading even a single word, and just trying to reply as fast as you can.
dont judge others by your own actions.

and Yes,

I'm surprised you have never heard of them

The name Prasied one used by allah for the Messenger, was well known to the people of scriptures as the Ayat of Allah has shown us, which you donot consider?
we have had 'Praiser' 'Praised one' 'comforter' 'honoured' the name of the man is Muhammed, what it 'means' in other languages is not relevant, and Jesus used 'Ahmed' according to Quran. I think there is a total mix up of languages here now.

Just answer me that do you believe in the following ayat

follow the messenger, the gentile prophet , whom they find written in their Torah and Gospel.......
its from Quran, of course I believe in it

if you do? How is Muhammad pointed out in the Torah and Gospel?
Do you know? considering you are of those that claim these books are no longer 'valid' and have been 'corrupted'?

Why Allah calls him by the name of Muhammad in Quran?
because that was his name, no point in saying 'oh fred' to a man named Muhammed is there?

What is the meaning of word Muhammad?
in what language?

Raaajah

I'm surprised you have never heard of them

and where did you heared it? what verse of Quran? why find it hard to answer?

That wasn't the same you posted before Raj. Have you actually read this?

Read what? Muir?

and Jesus used 'Ahmed' according to Quran.

When Quran says it, can't be wrong? and that is why, it was tried to make you understand that the actaul word used by Jesus was equivalent to Muhammad and not some other as Corrupted or mis translated in Greek, Is this hard to understand?

and just like before you have not answered any questions asked by me?

if you do? How is Muhammad pointed out in the Torah and Gospel?
Why Allah calls him by the name of Muhammad in Quran?
What is the meaning of word Muhammad?

in what language?

for last question, offcourse Muhammad is name of an Arab, called by Allah in his Arabic book for his beloved.

Ayisha

and where did you heared it? what verse of Quran? why find it hard to answer?
Not hard to answer Raj but does it really have an bearing on this discussion? Why are you finding it so hard to answer if the Merciful is a name or a title? just about every 'islamic' website and book discusses the 99 names of Allah and you are claiming never to have heard of this?

Read what? Muir?
drink more water raj

first you posted this

from the great 'answering Christianity site, then you posted this

I have highlighted Muir for you.

When Quran says it, can't be wrong?
are you saying it can? I do wish you would be careful with your question marks as it makes it difficult to understand if you are making a statement or asking a question

and that is why, it was tried to make you understand that the actaul word used by Jesus was equivalent to Muhammad and not some other as Corrupted or mis translated in Greek, Is this hard to understand?
No but it seems you didnt understand that is what I had said in the first place ) You are the one claiming it was in Jesus mother tongue of Aramaic then agreed it was a Greek word not Aramaic. You are the one it seems would rather invent an arguement when there was none. )

and just like before you have not answered any questions asked by me?
Raj there are tons of unanswered questions that you have ignored, and I have answered all yours more than once as you dont understand the answers when I give them, what makes you think you have a right to demand anything from me that you cant respectfully do yourself?

for last question, offcourse Muhammad is name of an Arab, called by Allah in his Arabic book for his beloved.

But his name was Muhammed BEFORE his prophethood and BEFORE he got the message of Quran, or do you deny that too?

Mazhar

Is Isa Aramaic or Hebrew?

It is a non Arab name, therefore you will find in Qur'aan that it is always written in the same way, no declension.

san

Is The Merciful, Allah's name? Is The Compassionate Allah's name? or are they titles?

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Names, or more accurately Asma, are means by which you distinguish something (or a concept) from another, or at least that's how i understand it.

What do you mean by "title"? By the way, it's not such number as "99" that matters (as it is claimed in a "hadith", i have yet to verify it).

The best names of Allah are, imho, very important to understand, because these are to be remembered in our daily tasbih, we can understand Allah better through our understanding of these names. I'm not sure "title" would fit here...

but was it 'Isa' in Aramaic? You said names are not translated into another language but they actually are, just in the same way GOD is translated to Allah or Elli or Deus or Aknatu, its still the same ONE.

Ayisha

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Names, or more accurately Asma, are means by which you distinguish something (or a concept) from another, or at least that's how i understand it.
Yes that is a name but what i'm getting at is raj is convinced Muhammed was the name given to Muhammed by God in Quran, where I am saying he had that name before Quran and his prophethood. When raj asked what was the name I said 'rasool' and it was corrected that this is a 'title' or 'job description' which I agree with, so then I asked is The Merciful etc the 'name' of Allah or a title. Is Allah even a name? None of this is of course relevant to any of this discussion, its that raj has gone off on a tangent to 'prove me wrong' in whatever I say so im just following him ;D

What do you mean by "title"? By the way, it's not such number as "99" that matters (as it is claimed in a "hadith", i have yet to verify it).
Title like 'Judge' is a title of a Judge, its what he does. or Mr. is a title or Dr. is a title. The Judge is a 'title' of Allah.

The best names of Allah are, imho, very important to understand, because these are to be remembered in our daily tasbih, we can understand Allah better through our understanding of these names. I'm not sure "title" would fit here...
I agree they are very important to understand and title may not fit for all but 'name' doesnt fit either for me.

All irrelevant though, He has given these 'titles/names' in Quran for Himself, i'm not disputing any of them although some in their quest to 'prove me wrong whatever' seem to think I do ;D

all good fun peace

I think it is nearly impossible to have a productive discussion with you.

Please read this Verse not just with open eyes but open heart and mind,

follow the messenger, the gentile prophet , whom they find written in their Torah and Gospel.......

Is the verse about Past, present or future,? (at the time of revelation). It was already been decided in the greater plan of Allah, that a Person will come in Future, who will be Prophet of Allah, and to your and many's bad luck his name was "Muhammad" as called by Allah in Quran.

And your un answered questions?

What does Muhammad means?
Why Allah calls him by the name of Muhammad in Quran?
How is that person predicted or written in Gospels as mentioned in Quran? (If you belkieve in this (ayt).
Where did you find 99 names of Allah in Quran?

are you saying it can? I do wish you would be careful with your question marks as it makes it difficult to understand if you are making a statement or asking a question

Your name is Ayesha. It is Arabic word used as name of a lady. Do we translate it in English or Urdu? No, personal names are not translated. Personal names remain the same, one may only enquires as to what is the perception infolded in that name, but that perception or meanings of the word, does not change its status of being Proper Noun referring to a person. I am not entering into the debate whether a name is Hebrew or Aramic or Persian.

it is past as Torah and Gospel were before Quran, it says whom they find mentioned in, it does not say that his name was mentioned but that HE was mentioned, he was foretold about. Why is it my bad luck his name was Muhammed? raj you really are reading things into this that aren't there, as you always seem to.

And your un answered questions?

Its actually Ayisha with an i not an e but malesh.

right so the name Muhammed (or Ahmed)was not given as a name in Torah or Gospel, but the 'perception infolded in that name' was mentioned in those books.

Ayisha to San

Ah! what a Chracter you are lady.....(shall i place a question mark at the end?)

i'm mainly here for learning. i'm not the one to support the "hiding of errors", and i also see no point in trying "to humiliate".

What CHARACTER is there in a man who wish to humiliate other?

However deep my wish is to expose the ill traits of such man in public, i must remind myself to ask my Protector to protect me against such deterioration.

Peace.

im not humiliated raj, im not the one claiming one thing then another and demanding questions be answered again and again without answering any asked of you.

Ah! what a Chracter you are lady.....(shall i place a question mark at the end?)

if its a question then yes, if its a statement then no.

I know I am and thank you ;D

Did I give opinion about this? Or is it the inference you are drawing from the statement that names are not translated from say Hebrew to Arabic and from Arabic to English or Aramic? Or you interpret as above these words of Qur'aan
