    I think, this is the best definition I have heard so far. It makes the most sense to me. Thanks!

        Salaam Someone,

        How will reply to the above reply # 5 about malaika?

        And where did you get the idea of Adam being humans from? Adam is singular not plural.

        May Allah guide us all to His only path pr
        Mohammed M. Khan

        Peace mmkhan,

        Anyone of us can be considered as an "Adam", especially considering the development of our intelectual abilities from complete ignorance and a state of hapiness when children in this big garden Earth, then we accumulate knowledge about our environment for sometime, then we face tests during our adult life... In many ways, we are similar to Adam.

          I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitaan alrajeem

          Please translate for me the following aayaats

          RASSOUL = Receivers and not messengers, a messenger in the quran is called MABAOUTH. someone sent.

          622

          RASSOUL ALLAH = RECEIVERS OF THE LAW.

          RISSALA = A RECEPTION , always mentioned is pluriel RISSALATE , ( RECEPTIONS ) , if it was message, we know that the message is only one, but rissalate is pluriel, therefore rissalates is receptions

          567

          Also used singular in 567, 6124, 779, etc.

          KITAB = MESSAGE / CONTENT
          MABAOUTH. = Messenger

          255
          256

          MALAIKA = Communications with the word of Allah in them. communications receivers , Kalam is a synonym of malak

          4251

          Kalam is a synonym of malak

          Is the below synonym correct as per your understanding?

          Baraqa = Qaraba
          Baqara = Raqaba
          Balagha = Ghalaba

          Just to quote the few and like to your understanding.

            Can you please quote me some of the aayaats from which you extract the meaning of Adam?

            "this big garden Earth" it is called "Duniya" a derivative of "Adna" in Arabic.

                I have few doubts on using 711 to cite Adam being plural.

                In 711 ?Thumma? can be ?then? as well as ?and? so the creating, fashioning and prostrating to Adam does not have to be in a sequence to mean that it was to Adam that the early part of the verse is referring to. Also, does khalaqnakum (creation) and sawwarnakum ( fashioning) have to be two independent actions from each other or these actions can be related and simultaneous ?

                Moreover, in the next verse 712 Adam is referred to in singular (him) twice.

                  peace warner,

                  I dont mind your hypothesis, but as I requested Mazhar in a previous thread, what is the evidence for it. Ideally, several, or at least one, Quranic reference where a seemingly sequential verse is not so.

                  Also, in my view, I have no problem with "adam" being addressed in the singular and the plural, as he is both individual and collective simultaneously, as I have discussed previously.

                  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.

                    And We created you (plural), then We shaped you (plural), then We said to the Angels "Submit to Adam;" so they submitted except for Iblees, he was not of those who submitted.

                    To me 711 is addressing to us all initially then referring to Adam as singular. You can also look at 7172 and 237-38.

                    7172

                    237
                    238

                    Hope this helps inshaAllah.

                      mmkhan, the point you are makin might be supported also by this "dual". Personal names like "Adam" represent and refer to ONLY one person.

                          Hello my friend
                          There is nothing that say Adam is not equal man in the quran
                          Adam is a word that translated in the 19th century in my coutry to HOMO
                          Adam isn't a name of a single person, but a name of a kind ( us ) modern name HuMan, in the quran, we're still caled adam, and our parents, direct parents are called adam, ya bani Adam , meaning oh Son of Man.

                          the story of the earliest adam is the same that is repeating today to you and to me and to everybody, we don't realise because we don't understand the quran

                            Now that we agree that 711 is not sufficient evidence for the plurality of adam, can you please point a verse fom the Al quran which supports this opinion ?

                              peace warner,
                              Nowhere did I agree that. I am not saying 711 by itself is 100% proof of the viewpoint I highlighted. I think it is significant and asked for your explanation of it, to which you responded by saying "thumma" can also mean "and". Fair enough. It does not seem to read like that, but it is possible.

                              From PRL
                              thumma - then, afterwards, moreover, mostly used as a conjunction indicating a sequence in line or order to be rendered as then/thereafter, also used as a more simple conjunction - and.

                              For me, there does seem to be an interplay between the individual and collective, due to the story of adam being an allegory/parable.

                              Also see 20123
                              He said "Descend from this, all, some of you (plural) are to others enemy. So, when My guidance comes to you (plural), then, whoever follows (singular) My guidance, he (singular) will not go astray nor suffer."

                              Also see part 10 of this book
                              http//www.scribd.com/doc/37354743/Understanding-Quran-Themes-and-Style-by-Abdel-Haleem

                              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.

                                  Please direct me to any discussion on support of allegorical nature of the story of adam.

                                  In my opinion 20123 may refer to

                                  1. Adam and his partner, satan and his group (the jinns, since he was one of those)
                                    or
                                  2. The symbolic reference to paradise lost for all mankind, due to the actions of their first father and mother ( again, single father, adam)

                                  Both cases above can justify the use of plurals in 20123.

                                  Also if mazhar is correct on the use of the pronoun for dual the argument is stronger.

                                    peace,

                                    I already linked you to a book that dedicates a part to this topic. You can opt to read it or not.

                                    Yes it is dual for that verb, but the rest Mazhar did not comment on. See corpus.quran.com for the grammar.

                                    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.

                                        Yes it is dual for that verb, but the rest Mazhar did not comment on. See corpus.quran.com for the grammar. Wakas

                                          Salaam bro,

                                          It does not mean that what ever others believe is wrong in total and we have to create a new meaning for each and every word and change all the stories.

                                          I translated 'Malak' as 'King' already in another thread which is very close the above translation, please take a look http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9602167.msg277408#msg277408

                                          Now you have to show me how did you extract those meanings? The meaning of 'Malak' that you made above is something similar that I believe is the meaning of wahi.

                                          May Allah guide us all to His only path pr

                                          Salam brother

                                          would you be able to help me with this

                                          What is the meaning WaL Malaaikathu
                                          and Wa Malaaikati
