    Salam,

    Just curious, why 20113 in quran literal translated to

    And it was such that We sent it down as an Arabic compilation,
    and We clarified in it some of the warnings, perhaps they will
    become aware or it will cause for them a remembrance.

    The problem is at "We clarified in it some of the warnings". Why translator decide to translate "Min" = "Some Of" in this context... If we relate it to 638, then I think this translation have contradiction... What do you think?

      Salam arista,
      638 And there is not a creature in the Earth, or a bird that fly?s with its wings, but are nations like you. We did not leave anything out of the record; then to their Lord they will be gathered.

      I assume you mean that its a contradiction because the Arabic compilation should not contain "some" of the warnings as nothing was left out of "the record". I'm not sure but I always thought the record was an object that is still being compiled as we speak

      1849 And the record was displayed, so you see the criminals fearful of what is in it. And they say ?Woe to us!, what is wrong with this record that it does not leave out anything small or large except that it has counted it.? And they found what they had done present. And your Lord does not wrong anyone.

      4380 Or do they think that We do not hear their secrets and private counsel? Yes indeed; and Our messengers are with them, recording.

      So that one verse is talking about the Quran (Arabic Compilataion) and the other verse is talking about a record that is going to leave nothing out.

        I think 638 refers to God being All-Knowing and that everything little thing that happens on Earth will be recorded (probably for Judgment Day), not necessarily in the Quran.

          Salam,

          Then how about

          1689 And the Day We send to every nation a witness against them
          from themselves, and We have brought you as a witness
          against these. And We have sent down to you the Scripture as
          a clarification for all things, and a guide and mercy and good
          tidings to those who have submitted.

            arista I think its always a dangerous thing to take a translation of Quran literally.

            Compare the translations of 20113 for yourself. http//www.islam-muslims.org/quran/20/113/default.htm

              No contradiction; 20113 recognizes allegorical verses 37 also explained 1689...

              37 He is who descended on you The Book, from it (are) perfected/tightened verses, they are (F) The Book's origin/mother, and others resembling/ambiguous/obscure, so but those who in their hearts/minds (is) deviation from truth, so they follow what resembled from it, asking/desiring the treason and asking/desiring its interpretation/explanation, and none knows its interpretation/explanation except God. And the affirmed in the knowledge, they say "We believed with it, all/each (is) from at our Lord, and none remember/mention except (those) of the pure minds/intelligence."

              Think through it.

              Peace
