Msjid Al Haraam
-
Greetings,
simple -- No need for apologies, 'accused' was not what I felt, 'consistently misunderstood leading to a sense of frustration' is. I got that you were wanting to understand, but also got that somehow, I wasn't getting through.
OPF -- 'my' 'masjid alharam' =
The seven INVIOLABLE laws in place over the universal micro and macrocosms as we know it
I. THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM
?The All ('God' is MIND; The Universe is Mental.?II. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE
?As above, so below; as below, so above.?III. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION
?Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.?IV. THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY
?Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.?V. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM
?Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.?VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
?Every cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.?VII. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER
?Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles?
The VIOLABLE laws as outlined in the Qur'an (once again) are proscriptions and prescriptions for those who read, learn and understand the Qur'an after the time that it was revealed to mankind.
The Qur'an has NOT been with mankind since the beginning of time. The seven INVIOLABLE laws outlined above HAVE.
I rest my case.

Salaams Sr Ilisa,
Does the quran specifically state these as the definition of Masjid Al Haram?
Thanks Sr.

Are you sure it does not??

So do not fear them and fear Me .And to complete/ perfect My blessings on you, and maybe you (will) be guided.
And fight/kill them, where/when you defeated/caught up with them , and bring/drive them out from where/when they brought/drove you out, and the treason/misguidance (is) stronger the fighting/killing, and do not fight/kill them at the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred , until they fight/kill you in it, so if they fought/killed you, so fight/kill them, like that is the disbelievers' reward/reimbursement .
And complete the pilgrimage and the visiting of God's House in other than the four forbidden sacred months to God, so if you were restricted/surrounded , so what became easy/possible , from the offerings , and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its place/destination, so who was from you sick/diseased, or with him mild harm from his head so a ransom/redemption from fasting , or charity, or rituals or methods of worship/offerings , so if you became safe/secure, so who enjoyed with the visiting of God's House in other than the four forbidden/sacred months, to the pilgrimage, so what became easy/possible from the offering, so who does not find, so fasting three days in the pilgrimage, and seven(days) if you returned, that is ten complete (days), that (is) to whom his family was not present/attending, (at) the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred, and fear and obey God, and know that God (is) strong (severe in) the punishment.
They ask/question you about the month the forbidden/sacred, fighting/killing in it, say "Fighting/killing in it (is) big/great and prevention/obstruction from God's road/way and disbelief with (in) Him, and the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred, and bringing/forcing out its people from it (is) bigger/greater at God, and the treason (is) bigger/greater from (worse than) the fighting/killing, and they still/continue (to) fight/kill you until they return you from your religion, if they were able, and who returns (E) from you from his religion, so he dies and he is disbelieving, so those wasted/failed their doings/works in the present world and (in) the end (other life), and those are the owners/company (of) the fire, they are in it immortally/eternally .
You, you those who believed, do not permit/allow God's methods of worship and nor the month the forbidden/sacred, and nor the offering, and nor the sacrificial animals/necklaces , and nor heading to the Forbidden/Sacred House/Home, they ask/desire grace/favour from their Lord, and acceptance/satisfaction, and if you finished pilgrimage so hunt/fish, and (let) not a nation's hatred and animosity make you commit a crime/sin that (because) they prevented you from the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred, that you transgress, and help each other, on the righteousness , and fear and obedience (of God), and do not help each other on the sin/crime and the transgression/aggression , and fear and obey God, that God (is) strong (severe in) the punishment.
And why (is it) for them that God not torture them and they are objecting/preventing/obstructing from the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred , and they were not its patrons/supporters , that its patrons/supporters , (are not) except the fearing and obeying, and but most of them do not know .
How for the sharers/takers of partners (with God) a promise/contract at God and at His messenger, except those who you promised/made a contract at the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred ,so what they became straight/direct for you, so be straight/direct for them, that God loves/likes the fearing and obeying.
Did you make the pilgrimage's drinking place/cup (water carrying) and tending to/visiting the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred as who believed with God and the Day the Last/Resurrection Day, and struggled/exerted in God's way/sake ? They do not become equal/alike at God, and God does not guide the nation the unjust/oppressive.
You, you those who believed but/truly the sharers/takers of partners (with God are) impurity/contamination , so they do not approach/near the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred after this their year, and if you feared need/necessity/poverty, so God will/shall enrich/suffice you from His grace/favour , if He willed/wanted, that God (is) knowledgeable, wise/judicious.

They are those who disbelieved and prevented/stopped you from the Mosque the Forbidden/Sacred , and the offering designated/dedicated , that (E) it reaches its place/destination, and where it not for believing men , and believing women you did not know them, that (E) you invade/set foot on them, so strikes you from them harm without knowledge, (it is for) God to enter in His mercy whom He wills/wants, if they separated/dispersed We would have tortured those who disbelieved from them a painful torture.

I rest my case.
Google tells me you took your "inviolable laws" from some book called "Kybalion" written in 1908 by three or 1 anonymous people. This you compare to the 'violable laws as outlines in the quran'. Maybe you would like to put up or shut up, let's see a mathematical formalism coming from each of those "inviolable rules" that can predict anything at all. Maybe you would also like to explain how your quoted verses make these 7 rules equivalent to "al masjid al haram".
37 - He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the Book...
1037 - And this Quran is not such as could be forged by those besides Allah, but it is a verification of that which is before it and a clear explanation of the book, there is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the worlds.
The Qur'an has NOT been with mankind since the beginning of time.
May wish to retract that statement.

What's your point? And why react so roughly? The writers of the 'Kybalion' did not make the laws of the universe. Nor do they claim to have. God did. Any book can note the 'INVIOLABLE LAWS' ('al masjid al haram' of the universe that God has set up. Their noting it, seeing them, realizing that they exist and respecting them doesn't lessen the Laws by any means. I just have likely could have quoted the seven laws from a physics book as well. But I didn't. As for 'mathematical formalism' -- I am not a mathmatician. I'll leave that to those people who work with math. And in the end, I am only sharing my understanding of this topic.
As for retracting my statement. I will not. The Arabic Qur'an has not been in mankind's hands since the beginning of time. You're reacting over things I am neither saying nor implying.

Sorry but the book has. Through cross reference the quran must also have since
4143 - Naught is said to you but what was said indeed to the messengers before you; surely your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness and the Lord of painful retribution.
But, but, it's an Arabic quran!! - Read on.
4144 - And if We had appointed it a quran in a foreign tongue they would assuredly have said If only its verses were expounded (so that we might understand)? What! A foreign tongue and an Arab? .....
So there is no such thing as an "Arabic Quran". There is a quran, in arabic for reasons specified above, not an "Arabic Quran". You may swallow your words now, it's not hard, I do it all the time when I'm wrong or when my views don't agree with clear quranic truth.

I'm sorry but comparing a book written by anonymous to the quran and saying the quran is weaker in this regard about a meaning of a word taken from the quran itself = rotfl. The fundamental fallacy in your thinking is that al-masjid al-haram is defined as the "inviolable laws" of the universe which "can be found in any book" - except the quran, which is fully detailed and will contradict if a meaning is out of place (482), perhaps? To get more to the point, you haven't proved that your idea of "al-masjid al-haram" can honestly be put into the quran, WITHOUT contradiction.
Now, the "7 laws". These are so vague that anyone can twist them to their understanding. Which is useless, ,which is astrology, which is just ridiculous. Which is why I asked you to put it formally, in mathematical language, where there is no room for misinterpretation. It doesn't matter where you got these laws from, to be honest, as long as you can make them falsifiable (having made the claim that they are "inviolable". So, in other words, I am asking you to make it easy to prove, that your 7 laws are inviolable (the easiest way being to put it as a formalism). THEN, to prove that the quran sanctions these as "al-masjid al-haram". Good luck. Shouldn't be too hard at all if this really is "al-masjid al-haram", should it?
-
OPF
I did not put the 'kybalion' OVER the Qur'an. (BTW the kybalion has nothing to do with astrology.) And I did NOT say the Qur'an 'was weaker' than the kybalion. Bite your tongue!
If you would have read my posts in other topics in the past you would know that I have stated that I understand that God's laws of creation are the clear ayat that are out there for all to read and see. This is my point. This was my original point. Still is my point.
You saying that the Qur'an must 'sanction' the laws of the universe is silly. They are what God is telling us to think about and see in so many places. A person does not need to prove anything mathmatically, you just live your life and learn. This has been around since the beginning of time (as I stated before). You're missing my point all together.
I'm sorry OPF, you're just not getting it and I certainly cannot make the 'blind' see.
So.....you 'see' it your way, and I'll see it mine, and in the end, the Truth will prevail. giveup

Hi Sr Ilisa,
I hope this isn't too long.
We have seen/understood your face turning around in the sky??.
The last time I checked the word meanings-
Should be something like;We have seen your ways changing in attitude; we will appoint you a direction you accept??keep to mind, what is forbidden.
Some people might have wondered from time to time the following ayah
2146 the people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know.
Now just think back what Pharaoh did to the sons of the Israelites! The mass slaughter!
And that is why they aught to know- their Masjid Al Haram.
2150
???and wheresoever ye are, Turn your face thither that there be no ground of dispute against you among the people, except those of them that are bent on wickedness??.The only way people can obliterate disputes is if they keep minding what is forbidden and learn to avoid it.
936
Verily the number of ways of approaching others/interactions between people, with Allah, are twelve interactions in the Book of Allah ????.of those four are forbidden???..53 four shahr forbidden.
To forbid causing death.
To forbid the bloodshed.
To forbid vilification with pride.
To forbid doing opposite to Allah or according to other then Allah ? Strangling, beating, repelling, corruption and that you devour by obscenity or lewdness except what is legal to you and what lawful by labor and the seeking of knowledge of fate through divination.All these things the people of the book went through when they where subdued by the people of pharaoh- So they aught to remember.
Thanks All.
God Bless you.

This is just superb exegesis. But do the meanings fit? If so, they are by far this is the best explanation I have seen for "hajj" and so forth. I don't know, it's just amazing how it fits and you seem to have done it through cross-reference.
In 53 I count 11 forbidden things and I'm not sure where you got the 4 from - are those the categories instead of each item mentioned?
Again, amazing, keep up the good work. sun

Hi OPF,
Why do you say this is what hajj is Br.?
And the 11 or 4 forbidden;
2173
He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he guiltless. For Allah is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful53
Forbidden to you (for food) are dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most MercifulIf you see the two ayah?s are basically the same but 53 gives a further breakdown of the fourth forbidden thing.
Gods Blessings.

Hajj and Ramadan and fasting and so forth are related in my eyes, not sure why I wrote that but what I meant was Ramadan. It would come from
022.026 - And when We assigned to Ibrahim the place of the House, saying Do not associate with Me aught, and purify My House for those who make the circuit and stand to pray and bow and prostrate themselves.
022.027 - And proclaim among men the Pilgrimage they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path,
If you see the two ayahs are basically the same but 53 gives a further breakdown of the fourth forbidden thing.
Ah, it's what lack of sleep does... Thanks.
Thus would there be 4 more or 8 more forbidden (or the opposite) in 6151-153?
6151 - Say Come I will recite what your Lord has forbidden to you-- (remember) that you do not associate anything with Him and show kindness to your parents, and do not slay your children for (fear of) poverty-- We provide for you and for them-- and do not draw nigh to indecencies, those of them which are apparent and those which are concealed, and do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except for the requirements of justice; this He has enjoined you with that you may understand.
6152 - And do not approach the property of the orphan except in the best manner until he attains his maturity, and give full measure and weight with justice-- We do not impose on any soul a duty except to the extent of its ability; and when you speak, then be just though it be (against) a relative, and fulfill Allah's covenant; this He has enjoined you with that you may be mindful;
And this explanation would explain the apparent sudden change of context into 6154 where it mentions Moses recieving the book. 10 commandments or 12 commandments?
Aah, it all fits together
6156 - Lest ye should say "The Book was sent down to two Peoples before us, and for our part, we remained unacquainted with all that they learned by assiduous study" (10 commandments in such a form)
2 parties = Christians, Jews
6157 - Or lest you should say If the Book had been revealed to us, we would certainly have been better guided than they, so indeed there has come to you clear proof from your Lord, and guidance and mercy. Who then is more unjust than he who rejects Allah's communications and turns away from them? We will reward those who turn away from Our communications with an evil chastisement because they turned away.
This is just very eloquent. Beautiful....
So then, 6151-153 and 2173 denote all of the commandments expounded in detail and 6154 thus shows that there is no difference between Mosaic teaching and what's in the quran, even if people want to separate (6159).
And so, 6158 -
They do not wait aught but that the angels should come to them, or that your Lord should come, or that some of the signs of your Lord should come. On the day when some of the signs of your Lord shall come, its faith shall not profit a soul which did not believe before, or earn good through its faith. Say Wait; we too are waiting.
And what happens on the day the signs are apparent? See 8219.
How would you render this then? -
4825 - It is they who disbelieved and turned you away from the Sacred Mosque and (turned off) the offering withheld from arriving at its destined place; and were it not for the believing men and the believing women, whom, not having known, you might have trodden down, and thus something hateful might have afflicted you on their account without knowledge-- so that Allah may cause to enter into His mercy whomsoever He pleases; had they been widely separated one from another, We would surely have punished those who disbelieved from among them with a painful punishment.

Salaams OPF,
I think-
8-shahrencouraged
9112
To return from sin or disobedience.
To imbibe and reflect on Gods attributes.
To speak well of (others).
To devote oneself for others.
To be humble - not proud or not believing that you are important
To accept Godly authorities.
To enjoin good and forbid evil.
To observe the limits set by God.4825
Human shield or hostages.They are the ones who disbelieved and hindered you from the Haraam tactics( the attack/ the raid/ the onslaught) and the plan stopped from reaching its conclusion. Had there not been believing men and believing women whom ye did not know, that you might kill them and on whose account a crime would have accrued to you without (your) knowledge, that He may admit to His Mercy whom He will. If they had been apart, We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers among them with a grievous Punishment.
Good hunting.

Well who would this group be then? -
2146 the people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know.

Well who would this group be then? -
Salaams OPF,
Isn't it those- of the people of the book who are doing wrong to others? when actually they aught to be the last people to do the wrongs having been through the greatest of sufferrings and humiliations in the world.
It's like the Jews having gone through the holocaust should remember the horrific pains they went through, what their masters the Germans did to them - but some of them neglect to see their own past sufferings and yet they do the same to the Palestinians ? as I see.
-
I think there's a similarity between the holocaust of 194x and of the Jewish excursion, both were "saved" by an external power (although moses seems to have done it almost single handedly?) and now they wreak havoc, just as before.
I think interpreting it like this changes the message a lot, but some things are far, far clearer now. The quran suddenly jumps to Abraham or Moses quite a lot and now it makes much more sense as to why.
Would you agree that the 'book' talked about is simply the 10 or 12 commandments given to Moses, Abraham and loads of others before (ref 6156)? Then the quran is a detailed explanation of these commandments (1037) and that explains better as to why it is 'fully detailed' and it gives us a scope as to what it means by "every example" (6114).
What about 1591 anyway? That does seem a little odd. Who split the quran up? Into what? In 151 it states these are the verses and then goes on but in 241, it's described as a chapter. So is the quran one contiguous book as implied in 1591, with chapters in 241, but why does it shift towards saying ayatu in 151?

I would translate it"They made/altered/created the quran into parts/bits/lies"
I think it's referring to those who corrupt the quran and/or it's message. Tying into 2530?
151 You can cross-reference how al-kitaab (the scripture/book) is used. Some wonderful examples are 2213, *638, *684-89, 2740, etc...
For people of the book, Try 364-65, 370-71, 398-99, 4171, 515, 519, 577 etc...
*Carefully study the context.

For people of the book, Try 364-65, 370-71, 398-99, 4171, 515, 519, 577 etc...
*Carefully study the context.

Salaams MD,
So you are an MD and haven't so far realised books don't materialise or fall from the skies above.
Hard to believe but then again if you try convincing the Christians how can God have a son- they will look at you in way to show you don't have any belief.......
normal translation;
........He sent the Book in truth
to judge between people in matters wherein they differed.....lastly please tell us what happened to books which must have come to the rest of mankind or is the God prejudicial and only sends books to the middle east or something?
God Bless.

Hey MD, I don't think you should be so defensive ;D, loosen up.
But my question is, does 'al-kitab' refer to Moses' commandments? That is all.
