Well Mazhar that has certainly brought me closer to understanding 4824, thanks so much! Wakas, it certainly is a curiosity. Doesn't it actually read makkata though?

Thanks Mazhar,

Does 12100 exactly replicate the format of 4824?

"My Lord has made it true, and He has been good to me that he took me out of prison and brought you out of the wilderness after the devil had made bitterness between me and my brothers."

I'm not sure, but this may help

Thanks mucho Wakas,

Yeah, that does seem to confirm that it is 'gave you victory' and not 'victory was given'.

(482413)
He gave you victory
afarakum

V ? 3rd person masculine singular (form IV) perfect verb
PRON ? 2nd person masculine plural object pronoun

Thanks Progressive1993 for those articles. These are certainly ideas worth consideration and I'll keep them in mind until certainty comes to me, God willing.

Salam Wakas,

Thank you for responding and thanks for the suggestion.

In 985 God says that the people of the book (984) were only commanded to worship God alone, pray, and give "zakat".

This has now established a link between Zakat and the people of the book who were commanded to give 10% of everything. Leviticus 2730.

So when the reading was sent to them, the amount was already known. 7024. A haqun ma'lum.

That is fundamentally it.

Salams.

peace LAM,

Welcome to the forum.

I think people would prefer a brief summary of your view in an actual post, otherwise you are asking members to watch your two videos which are about 20mins, and since you are a new member on the forum, your competency is unknown.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks Alen!

Well, I was hoping to find some good tough, intelligent, criticism of my analysis of Zakat. I posted the links to the two youtube vids outlining my theory but I've not heard from anybody yet ((

Salams.

Peace,
Respect.

welcome welcome to the forum.

God bless ya.

Peace.

Well, thanks for the warm welcome everybody. (Sorry for posting in wrong area.)

I've been checking in and out of here for the last year though keeping pretty much to myself as I got "deprogrammed".

Thank God, things are getting better.

After one year considering many things there was one thing I had clear all along that never changed and that was Zakat.

I know of no better place to get some good honest peer-review so I have posted my videos on Youtube and linked from here.

I have done things this way because I want to have as much control as possible over the publishing of my ideas. This is so because even though Zakat is one of those things I've had clear for this past year....I might just change my mind and in which case I want to be able to retract, apologize and correct, God Willing.

Salams!

Hi everybody,

Can anybody confirm which is correct, what makes it correct and if it was to be the other how would the Arabic read?

For example, I think that Yousuf Ali is correct as aZFaRa is past tense in the active. For Free Minds to be correct it would have to read uZFiRa or be in past tense passive.
Is that correct?

And it is He Who has restrained their hands from you
and your hands from them in the midst of
Makka,
after that He gave you the victory over them. (Yousuf Ali)

And He is the One who withheld their hands against you, and
your hands against them in the interior of Mecca,
after He had made you victorious over them. (Free Minds)

Thanks.
