    Peace Arnold!

    Excellent Work! Your efforts are much appreciated. If it's okay with God and you, I'll try to translate this to norwegian.

    Bless you!

      peace,

      Re 688

      The Arabic "min" is a partitive.

      http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitive
      "The partitive refers to the selection of a part/quantity out of a group/amount."

      All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

        Min is a proposition used for expressing a starting point, part of a whole, amongst, origin as, upon, from, of, seperation, then likeness, between, comparison, composition, because of... and so on and so on. It is not specifically a partitive.

          peace,

          Well, the primary usage of "min" in 'al quran' as far as my study goes is as a partitive.

          You didn't acknowledge this very probable possibility in your article, hence highlighting it.

            I understand and agree, thanks for the highlight. But then still remains the question, does this exclude Jesus from having a father? I do not think so.

              I agree. It does not exclude Jesus from having a father. However, it does exclude citing 688 as reasonable evidence for your view.

                I also like it.

                Although whether he passed on the cross or otherwise is debatable - i think.

                Gods Blessings on you.

                  The verse says that some among their fathers were blessed, the 'min' being partive refers to that some of them were blessed, not that some had fathers. The verse clearly says all had fathers, but that only some of those were favoured, just like only some of the offspring were favoured.

                    I see your point, but to be sure I'd have to review all of the similar occurrences.

                    However, I just realised the sign in question is 687 (not 68, thus 687 could refer to those mentioned in 686.

                      Peace all,

                      "Aabaaihim" also means "forefathers" which can include maternal grandfather too, thus 687 is not proof that Jesus had a father.

                        Peace,

                        Yes, it can also mean that. It is part of the proof, not the only one. The first one is reason......But everyone can believe what he wants.

                          I do not want to participate in this discussion because I don't seen the point (or probably because I am not in a good mood today brickwall) but I just have a question. Why would Jesus-not-having-a-father have any relevance to his stature or message... The universe is a far greater "miracle" than Jesus in my view.

                              I thought , we were done with this topic, Brother tanveer and fahad had refuted it in length, the thread is available for every one to make up his own mind.

                              why not use these energies on some thing new, we still have plenty of important issues to do justice with.

                                Can you kindly point me to the earlier discussion.

                                I did not know that you went green with energy conservation and all that. But I will take your advise.

                                    Does the Quraan say that Mary was given to the Temple ?

                                      Peace,

                                      The storu was not refuted, they made their point clear and I mine. In the end it came down too that there were more logical answers for the story, but even if there are far more logical answers, people still want to hang on to miracles as they believe it is necessary for God to 'prove' His Power. For me, the Universe is already enough.

                                      I stick to the more logical answers, as the Quran also explains Jesus's deeds being told metaphorically as I explained above using the Quran alone, then it is also logical that there is also a logical answer for his birth.

                                      But we had this discussion, you can believe it to be a 'miracle' or a more logical story that is even completely in line with newly understood history.

                                      Warner, in 335-37 the mother of Mary already dedicated her child to God's service, her tone already shows this some kind of special service. Then later on we see Mary being given to Zacheria's custody in the Temple. 1+1=2 for me.

                                        Peace Arnold

                                        AY Warner, in 335-37 the mother of Mary already dedicated her child to God's service, her tone already shows this some kind of special service. Then later on we see Mary being given to Zacheria's custody in the Temple. 1+1=2 for me

                                        There is nothing in the Quran to suggest that family of Imaran or mother of Mary are transgressors. If Mary ended up in a temple the fault is Zakarias since he was her guardian. Also nothing to suggest mary being given to zakaria?s custody in the temple. Are you suggesting Zakaria is at fault? Also there is no mention of a temple/masjid in the Quran to which the prophets such as Zakaria were attached to.

                                          Arnold Of course Allah can do it, this is not the discussion. It is about what falls under Allah's Laws as he clearly says He will not brake His Laws. These include the Laws of the Universe.

                                          Can you kindly tell me your observation that "Allah will not break His Laws" is based on which verse/s ?
