    Ok No isolated words

    It is a full sentence What is its translation ?

    • Scholar man's slave came
      -Man's scholar slave came
      Another sentence

    • She wrote a letter

    • You (male) wrote a letter

    • You (female) wrote a letter

    • I wrote a letter

    Another example

    -The speaker (addresser) came
    -The addresse (addressed ) came

    Who beat whome ?
    -Zaid beat Ahmed
    -Ahmed beat Zaid

    Another example

    How will you translate it ?

    • The pen broke
    • Did the pen break ?

    All of them are complete but simple sentences by themselves.Let us see ,being arabic ,how can you translate them correctly.

    Please translate them

    Salaam Allen

    This sentence has conveniently the verb "came" to make one of the nouns in the nominative case, whereas all the others (possibly except one, according to the meaning of the senetnce) are in the genetive. What if it was ? All nouns will be in the genetive case (kasra). Case ending will not solve this problem. Context will.

    Calls for context. If no context, just an isolated sentence, does it really matter what it means? Why would one just write such a sentence? is a complete sentence and does not need vocalization, yet it is meaningless without context. Same goes to the two sentences that follow.

    Now tell me, what does vocalization or case ending have to do with the translation you gave? This is about question marks, punctuation. Do you see any question marks in the quraan? Or even comas, semi colens...etc?

    Tell me what do you understand from the chief of the tribe known of having some canibalism activities when he says "The priest? Yes I met him. I had him for dinner"?

    Remember that spoken Arabic does not care at all about case endings. The quraan was revealed in the spoken form.

      Peace Allen,

      I do not know the reason of your annoyance.The only reason I could chalk out because you could not translate a few simple sentences without vocalization marks.Can you tell me the reason why you could not translate them and instead of attempting them you tried to "mock" which is by itself a negative behaviour if you are serious.

      There is no need for you to feel annoyed. You couldn't interpret the English sentences that I gave you, which demonstrates that vocalization marks are irrelevant. What matters is the context. In ANY LANGUAGE, if one can't figure out the context from one sentence then he needs to look at other sentences surrounding it and so on. This is an INDISPUTABLE fact so there is nothing mocking or funny about pointing it out and I don't see how you can take this to be negative behavior. Please don't be overly sensitive and focus on the issues.

      Now coming to the point.You said that
      Both will be written as " " ------- A
      One with "ru-- and other with ra---" but case ending is same.I do not know whether you mean case ending as " "-----B
      Please do clarify which of the case ending with "Tanween (A) or with "-noon ----(B) " do you mean because both of them are not present in the Quran now available.
      After your selection of A or B I will comment further.

      It is not my problem if you don't read carefully. Here is what I said yesterday

      It was revealed as " " .

      Peace,

      Ayman

        If your problem is with the transliteration, then it is ramadaan and ramudaan. From the context it could be figured ;D

          Peace sister Samia,

          If your problem is with the transliteration, then it is ramadaan and ramudaan. From the context it could be figured ;D

          It could also be "RaMDAN" (weight Fa3LAN, like GhaDBAN/angry) or "RuMDAN" (weight Fu3LAN, like SuLTAN/intense authority).

          Peace,

          Ayman

            Hi
            Ramdan =

            Raw = Maftooh
            Meem = Saakin
            Dhad =maftooh
            alif =absent
            Noon = Saakin

            In this pronuciation"alif " after Dhaad is absent

            Rumdan
            Raw = mazmoom
            meem = Saakin
            Dhaad = maftooh
            alif = absent
            Noon = Saakin
            In this pronuciation again "alif " after dhaad is absent.

            Actual word used in the Quran and Classical arabic

            Raw = maftooh
            Meem = maftooh
            Alif = present

            So naturally according to your statement the revealed pronuciation is different from the present in the Holy Quran which is
            (2185)

            Works on the classical Arabic language support it

            " " " .

            I will appreciate if you could support your claim with some classical work (In my opinion quran is sufficient but you are disputing its pronuciation) otherwise I will have to consider it to be a home cooked and fabricated preconceived idea which is being used to hit the integrity of the Quran.
            The pronuciation you mentioned do not exist in the arabic language for this word.
            Please also consult "Lane's Lexicon" which is available on Wakas 's website.

                I wonder who are "they"!!!
                I wonder who changed it again so that it does not reflect the season it comes in!!

                  Salaam Bigmo

                  I think maghrib is sun set, ishaa is just before sunset to just before darkness. After that we have "lail night". So there are two salaat

                  1. fajr before sunrise

                  2. ishaa (from when the sun rubs horizon daluukush shamsi (maghreb) until the near night)

                  tarafai annahaar the TWO edges of day. One salaat at each edge.

                  Verse 24 58 does not mention maghrib salaat or any other salaat during the whole day except two, the only salaats that are mentioned by name in the whole quraan fajr and ishaa (other than jum3a congregational salaat).

                  Wustaa is not just middle, but also means moderate. If God did not mention three salaats, how can we discuss a midle one? So I think it is the moderate salaat, not the middle one

                  Whats the near night and what are the prayers of the two edges and what is moderate salaat?

                      Of course. Sorry, I erred in the transliteration.

                          Peace Allen,

                          Ramdan =
                          Raw = Maftooh
                          Meem = Saakin
                          Dhad =maftooh
                          alif =absent
                          Noon = Saakin
                          In this pronuciation"alif " after Dhaad is absent

                          Rumdan
                          Raw = mazmoom
                          meem = Saakin
                          Dhaad = maftooh
                          alif = absent
                          Noon = Saakin
                          In this pronuciation again "alif " after dhaad is absent.

                          You are the only one saying that the Alif after the Dhaad is absent and then you keep arguing against yourself. I never said that.

                          Actual word used in the Quran and Classical arabic

                          Raw = maftooh
                          Meem = maftooh
                          Alif = present

                          No, the actual word used in the great reading is " "

                          Raa = present
                          Meem = present
                          Dhaad = present
                          Alif = present
                          Nun = present

                          The great reading has no vocalization marks. Those were invented in the 9th-10th century CE long after the great reading was descended and thus are completely manmade.

                          Peace,

                          Ayman

                            In transliteration ,how do you differentiate between
                            Fatah & Alif ??
                            Fatah = a
                            Alif = aa
                            You wrote
                            -Ramdan
                            -Rumdan
                            Where is alif in this tranliteration ?
                            In both you have show "meem saakin".Show me this word in the Quran or Classical literature with "meem saakin".
                            Second word is having more blunder
                            Raw = mazmoom
                            meem = saakin
                            Show me this word with "meem mazmoom"

                                Salaam stefan

                                I read the link you provided. I think the problem lies within the meaning of two words

                                1. 3ishaa' (isha). This is a period of time that denotes the start of darkness and diminshing of light. It extends from sunset until night, or even until dawn according to some dictionaries. Here are the definitions by four cla ssical Arabic dictionaries

                                .

                                Only two salaats were mentioned by name in the quraan. When the two edges of day time are mentioned as times for establishing salaat, the second edge is described as description of ishaa', since it is not specific as fajr (dawn).

                                1. wustaa

                                From al Qaamuuaul Muheet

                                .

                                (meaning salaat wustaa could be fajr, noon, afternoon (asr), evening (maghrib), ishaa, witr, eid salaat, congregational, or all salaats, or morning and asr together, or any of the five pdaily salaat because there are two before and two after it; or salaat when someone is afraid, or the congregational payer on Friday and the noon prayer on other days. Ibn Sayyidihi said whoever says it is anything other than the noon salaat is mistaken unless reported with evidence from the prophet himself)

                                From Maqaayysul Lughati

                                .
                                .
                                (meaning wau seen Taa signifies justice and fairness and the best thing is its average, midway, as per 2143)

                                  I glanced through your article ,did you miss 2458 or did I miss it .

                                  Glorifying and praising is not salat. Neither is rememberance. Salat is for rememeberance but all rememberance is not salat.

                                  Actually its three. The 2 Samia pointed and the additional tahajjud during the night.

                                        Peace all.

                                        Bigmo, wonderful attachment.

                                        In reading the posts and threads along these pages I see a very common trend. Individuals who do not follow the scriptures, reinterpreting scriptural commands, to observe rituals from scripture. Its a never ending chase, bceause without implementing all of the scriptures, we can not know how to implement the rituals we have.
                                        Muslims very frequently look to their own devices (personal interpretation, hadiyth) instead of following what the Qur'aan says. Yes, Muslims who seek to answer "the salat question" will continue endlessly to search for it in the light of Qur'aan or invent their own rituals. The reality is THE QUR'AAN NOWHERE EXPLAINS THE SALAAT RITUAL, BECAUSE IT NOWHERE EXPLAINS THE SALAAT RITUAL!
                                        We have allowed the adversary Shaytaan to separate us from the Umm Ul Kitaab, the mother book, by postulating that all of the torahs in the world and all the gospels in the world are tampered with. Most Muslims don't even know that Al Injiyl is not the four gospels that we have today. Matthew (written 65 a.d), Mark (written 41 a.d.), Luke (written 58 a.d.), and John (written 98 a.d.) were all atleast ten years after Rabboni Yashua bar Miriam/Issa ibn Maryam "died" and therefore could not be the Injiyl which is documented according to the Qur'aan. No the true remnants that we have from Al Injiyl are the Quelle document (commonly known as the Gospel of Q).
                                        Allah Subhanuhu Wa Ta'Alla commands the prophet Mustafa Muhammad Al Amin to (Qura 1094)

                                        Fa'in Kunta F Shakkin Mimm 'Anzaln 'Ilayka Fs'ali Al-Ladhna Yaqra'na Al-Kitba Min Qablika

                                        "So if you are questioning as to what we sent down to you, then ask those WHO READ THE SCRIPTURE FROM BEFORE YOU.."

                                        The Qur'aan is the Bayyinah wa Furqaan that clears up the misinterpretation of the scriptures. It is through the light of Al Quraan that we are better to (for example) understand "documentary hypothesis". The claims that the Jews corrupted the Torah is not accurate. A sounder historical analyzation of the facts would demonstrate the Jews had multiple Torahs (one for the Kingdom of Israel ("E" text)/one for the Nation of Judea ("J" text)/The true torah kept sacred by the Mushite priests in Shiloh ("P" text)/and the reformist Torah written by Hilkiah under Hezekiah).
                                        We have the true torah of Moses and Aaron, called the P text(revealed from 1512-1473 bce), the Zubuwr (book of Psalms revealed 1037 bce), the Injiyl (the Q gospel revealed 30 ad to Jesus at the age of 36), and the Quraan (revealed between 610-631 ad).
                                        It is throught the light of the scriptures that we come to truly understand exactly what 'millatul ibrahim' is. We come to understand that the covenant of prophecy was given to the seed of Abraham after the flood through the promise made to him from Allah ta'Ala (Genesis 68-9;121-3, 7; 1314-18; 154, 5, 13-18; 171-8; 1817-19; 2215-18; Qur 2124-140; Qur 570). We come to see that with the exit of Isa ibn Maryam/Yashua bar Maryam Al Masih/Ha Meshiakh was the covenant of prophecy passed to Muhammad (John 1426, Deut 18, John 120) and the gate opened to the gentiles (Qur 381; Isa 426,11) through the new Covenant (al Islaam).
                                        We also come to the understanding that three time daily prayer was instituted as a supplement to the three daily servcies of the mosaic tabernacle/temple of solomon(Mincha, Maariv, Shakharit) psalms 557; dan 610. That the attitude of prayer ordinarily was standing (1 Sam. 1 26; Neh. 9 2, 4; Matt. 6 5; Luke 18 11, 13); also kneeling (1 Kgs. 8 54; Dan. 6 10; Ezra 9 5); or prostrate (Josh. 7 6; Neh. 8 6). Jesus himself also kept this attitude, often he knelt (Luke 22 41), fell on his face (Matt. 26 39), fell on the ground (Mark 14 35). It is noteworthy that Stephen (Acts 7 60), Peter (Acts 9 40), Paul (Acts 20 36; Acts 21 5), and the Christians generally (Acts 21 5) knelt to pray. That the orginal prayer structure was free-form, merely just the honest prayers of the petitioner. Later Isa/Yashua/Jesus codified the structure of prayer (Luke 111-3). Unfortunately due to the later gentile perversion of the terminology for Allah ta'Ala (Abba, Ab, Pater), the Quran redefined the prayer structure (Qur 1988-92; 1123) to rid the service established by Abraham (Genesis 17, 1927) of the pagan accretions and we were given Al Fatihah ti use in it's stead (Qur 1; 1587)

                                        1. In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
                                        2. All praise belongs to God, Lord of the Universe,
                                        3. the Beneficent, the Merciful
                                        4. and Master of the Day of Judgment.
                                        5. (Lord), You alone We do worship and from You alone we do seek assistance
                                        6. (Lord), guide us to the right path,
                                        7. the path of those to whom You have granted blessings, those who are neither subject to Your anger nor have gone astray.

                                        Its only through wedding the scriptures together (Qur 2136, 4136; 1094; 548,65-69) that we can understand their true message.

                                        Peace to all
                                        Latif Abdullah

                                          i think that we have to pray salat al esha right after the total darkness, during the early part of the night ( )....
