“Those who avoid idol worship and totally submit to God, deserved to be congratulated. Therefore congratulate My servants – because then listen to any views, – then they follow the BEST thereof. These are the ones guided by God – and these are the ones who use their common sense. .” (39:17-18)

So, a big congratulation from me.

I read your book on Arab conspiracies again Islam. The book is really astoundingly enlightening and it helps me overcome so many questions I had in my mind. I now come to realise that I have been following Arab religion all this while but NOT Islam.

I would appreciate receiving a softcopy of Quran translation by you.

Kind regards,

About the Quran or the Reading. Nobody should take credit about the existance of the Quran except God. The following verse says the last prophet wrote the revelations:-

“As for the disbelievers they said, “This is an invention that he has fabricated with the help of some people”. Indeed they have uttered a great slander and falsehood. They even say, “These are tales from the past “THAT HE HAS WRITTEN DOWN” and were dictated to him day and night”. Tell them, “The One who knows the secret of the sky and the earth has revealed it (to me). He is forgiving and merciful” (25:4-6)

Nobody knows the whereabout of the revelations that was written by the last prophet. But all Islamic scholars and the Mullahs claim the last prophet couldn’t read or write – and that is why we have tons of grandmother stories from them.

The above verses did not tell us whatever was written by the last prophet must be the original Quran and it should be the mastercopy. Somehow the Quran that we have today says:

“Indeed this (Quran) is a reminder. Thus, whoever wills shall take heed. It is recorded in an honorable scripture which is exalted and pure – WRITTEN BY THE ASSIGNED HANDS ” who are honorable and righteous.” (80:11-16)

Since God is not interested to tell us the names of those who were assigned to write the Quran – I don’t think we will be questioned about it. The names of those people are not important because even if they made mistakes the Quran says:

“No falsehood can ever enter it, IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE for it is a SIGN from God, most wise and praiseworthy”. (41:42)

Readers should know the Quran is just a book of reminder from God. We learn from the Quran that there were many people who refused to believe the reminder and they questioned the last prophet “How do you know the Quran is from God”. The prophet never tried to convince them, instead he was inspired to answer simply, “What if it is truly from God and you reject it”.

When the manuscript first appeared in the internet many scholars including those who claim to be the true submitters of the Quran tell their followers they are not worshiping the stone when facing the rock structure in Mecca – no matter how you explain it.

I see your answers do not fully answer the questions. If you don’t mind;

1. please provide here your complete (Quran) translations
of 5:6, 17:110. I want to see if the complete sentences
of your translation (of these versus) are coherent.

2. as it is still not clear to me if hygiene (cleaning) in general
is too specific only to wash hand, face,feet, and head.
In other word, for what occasions ?

3. please explain why the word solatil are used in 25:58
Again, It will help me to understand if you can povide us
with your translation of versus 25:58. To be coherent with
your understanding, it is understandable if 25:58 without
words of sol-lat-tul

4. please explain (at least example) of what and when of
sol lat-ta are done at specific times. My thought is that
commitments should be done all the times, not a
specific times. For specific times there should be
specific things to be done. What are they ? If God only talk
about commitments (to Him) it should applied for all the
times.

5. Finally, in 11:114 why part of the night ? Again, to my
understanding commitment should be 24 hours
including our sleeping times.

Thank you in advance. I think your explanations will give us more solid understanding.

Salam,
Adam

May I please see your literal translation of 33:40? Someone told me the word ‘muhammadun’ is the plural of ‘muhammad’.

The Arabic in the Quran is simple and straight-forward and there is no need to go around in a circle.

Thank you for the comment. When God decides to reveal His truth to His servants their initial experience could be fear or shock (the example of Moses in 28:31), but I strongly believe people whose heart are sincere with God He will reveal the truth to them to make them understand His scripture to lead them to His path (42:52-53).

Prophets and messenger went through social rejection from the beginning of time and some were killed because they decided to be the first to commit to God’s way of Life. They never feel lonely because they knew God is always with them. Keep reading the Quran and observe your commitments as it will protect you from falling in sins and evil and it is the greatest way of remembering God (29:45) and spare some time during the night to read the Quran as frequent as possible so that God will reveal to you His heavy message (73:4-5) to clear your mind.

There is no known history in the Quran of any Prophet or messengers except for Jonah who were able to make thousands of people believe, not even the last prophet. So don’t worry about others as long as you follow the golden rule in God’s system that: “No burden soul will bear the burden of another” (6:164, 53:36-38). Abraham once said, “People keep on idolizing those idols only to maintain each other’s relationship in this life. However, on the day of resurrection they will disown each other, and curse one another.” (29:25)

Aslam tu lirabbil alamin

What do you think of sol-laa as ‘enjoin’ and sol-laa-ta as ‘enjoinment’? In other words, God has enjoined upon us ways for us to better humanity like freeing slaves, feeding the poor, helping orphans, establishing truth, peace, justice, and equality.
Thus when God says…
“uphold the sol-laa-ta and maintain purity.”
…it means…
“Uphold the ‘things God enjoined upon us’ and maintain purity.”

Just curious to see how you view such an interpretation which I received from a friend of yours…

You say God is not to be worshipped but what abut these verses, 24:58, 17:78, 2:238 etc. They talk abut the times we have to pray to God. What do u think??

peace, Sam

Salam, Najir

Peace be upon you too.

You are right its a matter of beleif but you can verify its from God. It tells mankind the secrets of its origin and our life. If this wasnt from God, then the man who wrote this might have been God himself(Astagfiruallah). I just think we are very close to verifying it is from God, or actually i thinkm we have already verified it. God is differnent from his creation and by the way the Quran is wriitten, theres no other book liike it.

20:4 A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the heavens on high.

The God commanded him to uphold the faith of Abraham P. It states in the Quran, the God is telling Muhammad P say to the people

Say, “Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path – a correct religion – the way of Abraham, inclining toward truth. And he was not among those who associated others with Allah.” Quran 6:161

He not only conveyed to Arab and Non Arab but also People of Book the decendent of Abraham P from Isaac P. (Jews and Chrisitans).

Say: “O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah. that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.” If then they turn back, say ye: “Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah.s Will). Quran 3:64

Muhammad P died in 632 AD and left Quran and his examples recorded in the authentic hadiths. He told to people, He is done with his responsibility. Now it is up to people to uphold the faith of Abraham P by obeying Muhammad P as commanded in the QURAN or ignoring him and wait until the day of judgement.

I choose to obey God and accept Muhammad P the last and final messenger from the lineage of Abraham P.

“We have decreed for you the same way of life that was decreed for Noah, and what was transmitted herein, and also what was decreed to Abraham, Moses and Jesus. You shall uphold the only way of life (i.e peacefulness) and do not be divided. However it is simply too difficult for the idol worshipers to accept what you advocate. God is the One who brings towards Him whomever He wills, and He guides towards Himself those who return”. (42:13) “The only way of life by God is peacefulness” (3:19)

Live a way of life of peacefulness is a form of glorifcation of the creator. Being sincere and truthful, honoring our parents and be kind to others, or commit ourselves to His guidance and keep them pure (aqi-mus-solla-ta-wa-tuz-zakka) is another form of glorification.

“Do you not see that God is glorified by everyone in the heavens and earth? Even the birds in their flight each of them knows their commitment and glorification. God is fully aware of what you do.”

There are many ways of remembering God and this can be done while we are standing up, walking, sitting down or lying on our sides – one of them is by looking at His signs in our own surroundings (3:190-194) – including all the marvels and the various beautiful color of plants and flowers He has created for us. We can also remember God each time when it rains to appreciate His bounty from the sky. God’s signs is all over us even in the deep oceans. But the greatest method of remembering God (zikril-lah-hi-akhbar) is to commit oneself by deeds to the values written in His book (29:45) and that will keep us away from doing the wrong things.

Since we are the ones who need Him it is our obligation to be appreciative and to seek His blessings and Mercy. There are many examples of doing our prayers (D’oa) a form of our personal communication with the Creator if we look into the Quran – including at a time when we realize we had made a simple mistake. Adam and his wife said, “Our Lord, we have wronged our souls and unless you forgive us and have mercy on us, we will be among the losers”.

Or each time we are approached with some bad ideas or become compulsive of doing some petty bad stuff we should seek refuge in Him by speaking to Him sincerely to remove all the negative ideas (satan) away from us.

If we can have all the above as a state of awareness through both ends of the day and part of the night we need not allocate any specific time to be with our God to glorify, pray (d’oa), or remembering Him – He is with us all the time.

This is just my humble opinion.

By mentioning Allah’s name in every of our action and speech is glorifying Him.For example in saying Bismillah, Masha Allah or a sinple Insya Allah or Subhanallaha in everyday life is indeed gloryfying Him.

Insya allah

Thank you for the comments. Its all about asking the people to use their faculties of reasoning, sadly many insist on defying their common sense. I can only see the hour is very much nearer than we thought.

I am very happy God has lead me through his providence to find your site. Like you, I find in the Quran the same condemnations as you do regarding ritualism, legalism and all the other priestly abuses that mollahs and so-called scholars have introduced over the centuries into islamic practice.

I am not sure, however, that I share your view completely regarding the meaning of the word ‘worship’ and what obligations we truly have towards God in that respect. But maybe it is only a misunderstanding of words. I fully share your view that we ought to scrutinize the text of the Quran in order to find the true meaning of the words we find therein as it was originally meant and not as tradition has distorted it.

For a start, I agree that the Quran condems ‘worship’ if we understand this word to mean ‘ritualism’.

However, It also seems to me that the Quran enjoins us to glorifiy God and that this activity of glorifying him is part of the service (the meaning, as you rightly point out, of “ta’budu”) we owe him. Let me quote a few verses:

7:206 Those at your Lord are never too proud to serve Him; they glorify Him and submit to Him.

20:33 That we may glorify you frequently

22:37 [...] that you may show your gratitude by glorifying God for guiding you.

33:42 You shall glorify him day and night.

9:112 They [the believers] are those who repent, who serve, who praise, who meditate, [...]

29:16 [...] You shall serve God and reverence Him. [...]

32:15 [...] They glorify and praise their Lord without any arrogance.

I read these verses as enjoining us to devote a part of our life (which is all in the service of God if we are believers) to the activity of praising and glorifying God.

Now the question is, what does this activity consist in exactly?

Permission granted provided you send me the work each time you complete a chapter.

Sister Tanty from Denmark indicated her interest to translate the book to Bahasa Indonesia a few months ago and she was looking for someone to help her to do the job. You can reach her at http://iyb.blogspot.com/

Having read some of your book I agree with the analysis. It’s shocking when you first realise it – like someone has punched you in the face. What we regard as Islam as practised and preached by the majority is actually akin to paganisim – unbelievable. However it makes perfect sense. Once you start listening to mens opinions and interpretations without reasoning things out for yourself then you’re asking for trouble. Ask yourself – is it what God is saying or mere mortals? The Christians fell into this trap when they rejected what their Bible says and instead took their priests as gods and went on to believe that a man was God or one of three in a trinity. And you can watch videos on debates between Muslims and Christians where Muslims say how silly it is for Christians to believe this, as there Bible clearly shows the complete opposite. However, Muslims have fallen into the same trap without realising it. Perhaps some do, but they refuse to believe it. One reflects on verses in the Quaran where God says that the majority of people will not believe and are pagans. How big this majority is only God knows – 60% , 80%, 99% ?

Peace.

Just one clarification: I am not interpreting Matha-bat (which I read as ‘represents’) as Covenant. I am interpreting Bayt as Covenant because in classical Arabic Bayt also refers to oath that men take by placing one’s hand over another’s that has become standard practice in Sufism and has given rise to those under oath as ahl-al-bayt. You explain bayt as system which is quite like covenant.

Anyway, I am sorry if I seem to be sound over-excited :) It is just that I was reading on the same thing and am corresponding with a lot of people who have offered alternative explanations.

Please take note I have refrained myself from making comments about your work or anybody’s else work regarding the Quran.

I understand that it is not plural. But the consonant is ‘tha’ ث and not ش “sha’. I *think* (and I may be wrong so please correct me) “matha-batan” means ‘represents’ so the verse should read as (if I use my understanding and interpretation):

“And remember We made the Covenant which represents safety for the people; and take ye the Stance of Abraham (over monotheism) as the (standard) way to obey God; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma’il, that they should sanctify My Covenant for those who are guardians of human rights, and those who prevent divisions, and those obey Me humbly”.

The Covenant refers to the one in Genesis Chapter 17 where Abraham and his son sanctified the covenant through circumcision.

What do you think of my humble attempt?

I am glad you are writing about the word bayta in verse 2:125 as “God`s covenant with Abraham“ and I hope it can make more sense than mine.

I never said my book is free from error but I made it very clear that mankind should not serve except God.

I am not saying that your analysis is not genuine but it suddenly stopped convincing me when I detected this fatal error. As a published book, your work should be as error-free as possible and this is quite a serious and cripling mistake.

I wonder how you would explain “matha-batan”? I am eager to learn. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Literally verse 72:18-20 says:

“And surely all the consented decrees are for God, therefore you shall not invoke anything alongside God. And thus when the upright servant of God invoked Him (alone) they almost mob over him. Say, I only invoke my Lord (alone) and never associate Him with anything at all.” (72:18-20)

Initially I translated the root “sa-ja-da” as “to submit“, but after looking at the concept of non-compelling relationship between God and His servants I decided to change the meaning to “consent” reflecting our willingness to commit ourselves to everything that is sanctioned by Him in the scripture and we do this by declaring “We Hearken and we obey” (5:7). Our relationship with God is by upholding our covenant with Him.

Thank you

In other words, this will make it logical to conclude that stone worshiping in Makka today is an extension to stone worshiping before Islam, and therefore, it has nothing to do with Islam.

I was not a witness to what the Arabs were doing before the Quran was revealed but according to the Quran God questioned them about Allat, Al Uzza and Manat, the third one.

Aidid Safar

I’m Interested in your argument.

I heard that people in Makka before Islam had been worshiping statues. Is that true? or they’ve been serving them?

Thank you so much for your kind clarification. I really appreciate it.

I agree with you that it is a matter of personal choice. I believe it is intended that we are unable to do the verification (as simple as that). As we know it, even if it is clear as day and night that the Qur’an is from God those who choose not to believe will find reasons and excuses to remain defiant anyhow.

I believe that the only way to verify that the Qur’an is from God is by “reading” the essence of the Qur’an and the only way to get the “essence” of the read is by completely (and sincerely – it is impossible for it to be complete if you are not sincere about it) committing to the read. The verification comes from the “peacefulness” that comes with the read and this is reinforced and re-validated over and over again by more “peacefulness” that comes as one goes deeper into the read.

Strangely, it is difficult to lose this state of peacefulness for as long as we remain true and purely committed to the read. It is difficult to lose peacefulness when we discover and rediscover over and over again that the read is all about a true gift of a “full life” regardless who you are.

The “peacefulness” that comes with the read is amazing. We may not verify that the Qur’an is from God but it is clearly not from humans who easily allow themselves to be misled to dwell in hatred endlessly hence incapable of “promoting” peace in such a beautiful and wonderful manner.

Have a peaceful day Aidid Safar.

There is no way anybody can verify the Quran is from God or may have knowledge about the names of the scribes and the compilers.

It is up to the individuals to accept or reject the testimonies of the Quran itself:-

“That scripture is infallible, a beacon for those who are observant – who believe the unseen, they are committed and from our provision to them they give – and they believe in what was transmitted to you, and what was transmitted before you – and they are positively certain about the hereafter”.

(So, it is a matter of personal choice)

“Believe therein – or disbelieve. Those who possess knowledge before it, when it is recited to them their chins fall consentingly.”

As for the scribes the Quran says:

“It is recorded in an honorable scripture, exalted and pure, written by the hands of the assigned who are honorable and pure.”

(The question is – If God tells us the names of the scribes – and how the Quran was compiled – what are we going to do about it?)

The Quran also says:

“No falsehood can enter it, in the past or the future, for it is a revelation from God, most wise, praiseworthy.”

“If they claim that you have fabricated some lies and attributed them to God, then God is able to seal your heart, ERASE ANY FALSEHOOD – AND REESTABLISH THE TRUTH WITH HIS WORDS”.

If God can seal the prophet’s heart, what is so difficult for Him to erase mistakes made by the scribes, then corrected them in His own way so that His book can be spread to mankind in its original form? Isn’t that is the purpose why the Quran was transmitted and that was what the last prophet said:-

“Whose testimony is greater? Say, “God is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been transmitted to me in order to preach to you with it – and TO WHOMEVER IT REACHES“. (6:19)

However, God assured us that He will preserve the Quran:

“Surely We sent down the reminder, and surely, We are the One who will preserve it”

Each time somebody ask me whether the Quran is from God or not, I like to take a short cut by quoting to them the following verse:

“What if it is really from God, and you disbelieve therein? Who is worse than those who oppose it?

Lastly, if we expect to get a respond from God the way we are responding to each other through the internet, then God cannot be “The God”. He explains how He responded to our call:

“When overwhelming waves surround them, they implore God sincerely. Bus as soon as He saves them to the shore, some of them revert.”

Aidid Safar

My “real journey” started when I read your book a few years ago. Being unshackled, thank God, I now see things differently.

Continuing my journey based on Qur’an alone I have a few basic questions with the same fundamental issue on my path. Please bear with me. How do we verify that the Qur’an is from God? Who actually did the writing down? Who compiled and how was the Qur’an compiled into what it is now? If God “communicated” with “us” then, why is “this form of communication” no longer used by God?

I hope you will not send me off to do my homework because I definitely will but a bit of help from you would definitely help me a lot and is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Have a beautiful day.

On the day when we gather them all together, we will ask the idol worshipers. “Where are the idols you had fabricated?” Then there will be no more defamations except, “By God our Lord, we were not idolaters!”.

Note, how they lied to themselves, and everything they invented will disappear“. (6:22-24)

The whole book is available for free from the website and I advise readers to read all the chapters before they submit their comments.

The earth is not flat, so there is no such thing as the centre of the earth.

I have never forced anyone to agree with me that the word Solaa should be understood as commitment.

I have explained my understanding about 5:6 under “How the religionists do the Solaa shuffle” in the FAQ section. I have also explained that the word ablution or wudu’ is not in the Quran. If you have a problem with 5:6 I am sorry I cannot help you. Perhaps you need to consult a mullah.

When quoting any verse from the Quran please give the specific meaning of each word the way you understand it. We cannot have a verse translated as mosque which is forbidden/respected/sacred because it only shows you are conjecturing about the meanings of these words.

Since you are using Lane as your authority to understand the Quran, I have to rest my case.

Thanks for the reply.

We have to be careful not to fall into the trap of late Abbasid era linguists who romanticized bedouin live and attributed anything about Arabic to them. Those same linguists believed that Classical Arabic existed since the beginning of time and that ancient people such as Abraham and Ishmael spoke Classical Arabic.

Arabs/Bedouin Arab are not proper names, and the same goes to Bani Israel (isra’ +El/Journey + God, hence people who “travel” on God’s path).

It takes a great deal of effort and you certainly have done a great job in purifying the message from blind faith, superstitions, sectarian beliefs, and dogmas. Nevertheless, I believe the journey is far from over.

It’s been quite some time since I last read your 1st and 2nd edition articles about Arabs.

Your argument is built on the premise that since Q33:20 uses badoona fee al-aAArabi and Q9:97-99 use al-aAArabi, hence we have to have two distinct meanings for the al-aAArabi. It’s inevitable to reach this conclusion the moment you treat the word “badoona” as a proper name (Bedouin) as what the Arabs make us to believe.

As mentioned earlier, al-aAArabi is used to refer to a nomadic people as oppose to those who live in the city. This is best illustrates in Q9:101.

Q9:101
Transliteration:
Wamimman hawlakum mina al-aAArabi munafiqoona wamin ahli almadeenati maradoo AAala alnnifaqi la taAAlamuhum nahnu naAAlamuhum sanuAAaththibuhum marratayni thumma yuraddoona ila AAathabin AAatheemin

Literal:
And from whom (is) around/surrounding you from the Arabs/”nomadics” (are) hypocrites and from the city’s/town’s people they were accustomed to rebelling/mutiny on the hypocrisy, you do not know them, We know them, We will torture them twice, then they be returned to great torture.

Here, we can see how al-aAArabi is used as antonym to city dwellers. al-aAArabi is therefore logically refers to “nomadic” people.

Applying the meaning of al-aAArabi as “nomadic” in Q33:20, then “badoona fee al-aAArabi” simply means showed/revealed/appeared as nomadic. The same understanding of “badoona” from root Ba-Dal-Waw used as active participle can be seen in Q11:27 and Q22:25.

Ba-Dal-Waw: From Lane = it appeared, become open/evident/plain/manifest/apparent, showed itself, came in sight, occurred to him, discovered/revealed, desert, dwell/abide in the desert, Arab of the desert, dust, showing open enmity/hostility, either side of a valley, first of a thing, well, insincerely/inconsiderately, calamity/misfortune.

Q22:25
Transliteration:
Inna allatheena kafaroo wayasuddoona AAan sabeeli Allahi waalmasjidi alharami allathee jaAAalnahu lilnnasi sawaan alAAakifu feehi waalbadi waman yurid feehi bi-ilhadin bithulmin nuthiqhu min AAathabin aleemin

Literal:
That those who disbelieved and prevent/obstruct from God’s way/path , and the Mosque the Forbidden/Respected/Sacred which We made/put it to/for the people, equal the devoted/dedicated in it, and the apparent (visitor), and who wants/intends in it by deviation/apostasy with injustice/oppression, We make him taste/experience from a painful torture.

Thanks and peace.

The Persian conspiracies began immediately after the Torah was revealed to the children of Israel and you can find the information in “The Controversy Of Zion” written by Douglas Reed. The Jewish laws and religious practices are both formulated by the Persians and they were compiled in the books of Gemarah, Mishnah, Shammai and Hillel among others – and the Hadiths are plagarized from these books.

Although the Quran was revealed to an Arab but it took a Pakistani scholar to discover the root cause of the Muslims problem i.e the Hadith – written by Persians. Didn’t the Arabs understand about the word “Hadith” in the Quran? This word appears 28 times in the Quran, yet until today they treat the Persians’ hadiths as a divine law. Muslims around the world adopt the same Persian law as God’s law under the “Syariah” system. I have explained about the Arabs in Part One of my book under “God is not an Arab”.

If you study the Quran carefully you will discover the message of the book is not meant for the Arab people – God says they are the staunchest hypocrites and disbelievers (kufran) and threy don’t deserve to know anything that was revealed to His messenger (9:97) – yet the Quran was revealed to an Arab.

When God says He has chosen the Children Of Israel above the rest of the people that is exactly what He meant. After His two attempts through Moses and Jesus failed, He decided to revealed His guidance to an Arab in order to distinguish among them (the Children of Israel) who would follow the messenger from those who would turn back on their heels.

In 2:135 the people around the last prophet insisted “You have to be the guided people (Hudan mistranslated as Jews) or the supporters (Nasoroo mistranslated as Christians) in order to receive God’s guidance” – and later in 2:142 they asked “Why did God change the focus or qibla”? meaning to say “instead of transmitting His guidance to His chosen people why did He revealed it to a gentile (someone who has no prior knowledge of God’s scripture)”. For questioning His wisdom – He called them ” the fools”.

To apprecite the history of the Children of Israel we should read from sura 2:40 to 2:164 and these verses are specifically in reference to the Children of Israel.

There will be a day when the Quran will be fully honored by the intended recepient i.e the Children of Israel. Only God knows when this will happen, but He has hinted to us that the Quran is recognized by the “Scholars of Israel” (26:197).

Now, where do we stand? We have to admit all of us are gentiles or ummy and the majority of Muslims in the world are “A’jam” or non-Arab. In 26:196-199 it says – if the Quran is recited in Arabic to non-Arabs or “A’jamin” they can never believe it. If we want to enjoy the peacefulness, then it is our duty to find our way to understand the message in our own language. But the human devils are always there waiting to entice all of us, and so far they have been successful in distorting God’s words.

M5, thank you for your comment. Please read Part One about “Arabs” and the “Bedouin Arab”. Both words are distintively used by God in the Quran.

It’s only logical for us to re-examine the premise that al Qur’an is originally written/passed down to humankind in Arabic language.

Muslims continue to believe that the exact Arabic words which we find in the Qur’an are those which exist eternally on the original stone tablets, in heaven.

Muslims also believe that the Arabic language is the language of Allah, hence in hereafter it becomes lingua franca/de facto or rather language used in paradise. They also believe that the Qur’an, because it is perfect, is the exact representation of Allah’s words.

For that reason only the Arabic Qur’an can be considered as authoritative. It, therefore, follows that those who do not know Arabic are still required to read and memorize the Qur’an in the Arabic language, as translations can never replace the language of Allah.

This is the best tool for the Arabs to command supremacy over other believers. One can easily see that al Qur’an makes clear distinction between al-aAArabi and AAarabi.

While al-aAArabi refers to a particular group of people (west/sunset, desert, mingle, merchant, raven, metathetical from ʿ-R-B “moving around” (Arabic ʿ-R-B “traverse”), and hence, it is alleged, “nomadic.”)

re: al-aAArabi n.m. pl. (no sing.) 9:90, 9:97, 9:98, 9:99, 9:101, 9:120, 33:20, 48:11, 48:16, 49:14

Q9:97
Transliteration:
Al-aAArabu ashaddu kufran wanifaqan waajdaru alla yaAAlamoo hudooda ma anzala Allahu AAala rasoolihi waAllahu AAaleemun hakeemun

Literal:
The Arabs (are) stronger (in) disbelief and hypocrisy, and more worthy/suited that they not know the limits/boundaries/orders (of) what God descended on His messenger, and God (is) knowledgeable, wise/judicious.

The Arab claims that AAarabi as with al-aAArabi refers to Arab/Arabic language whereas the context of the verses where AAarabi are used is to address the quality of the message itself.

AAarabiy
Clear/plain/distinct speech free from error/incorrectness. LL Volume 5, pages: 276, 277, 278, 279, 280

re: AAarabiy n.m. 12:2, 13:37, 16:103, 20:113, 26:195, 39:28, 41:3, 41:44, 42:7, 43:3, 46:12

Bedouin elders still use this term with the same meaning; those whose speech they comprehend (ie Arabic-speakers) they call Arab, and those whose speech is of unknown meaning to them, they call Ajam (ajam or ajami).

Hence when al Qur’an uses AAarab, it means the message sent down is clear/without ambiguity, i.e telling us the quality of the message itself and not in which particular language it is sent down.

This is also supported by the fact that numerous words in al Qur’an can be traced its origin among others in Hebrew, Syriac, Persian, Assyrian, Accadian, Egyptian and Aramaic.

Q12:2
Transliteration:
Inna anzalnahu qur-anan AAarabiyyan laAAallakum taAAqiloona

Literal:
That We descended it a clear reading/recitation, maybe/perhaps you reason/comprehend.

Peace.

I think your view on the role of the Persians on Hadeeth is pretty interesting.

Perhaps you might want to share any URLs so that I can read about the topic above?

Thanks in advance.

1. At the time of Muhammad (PBUH) there were two great powers: Romans+Byzantine and Persians in the middle east. Both were military super powers. However, Persians were unique in certain aspects. For more than 5000 years civilization came and become part of history but Persians and their Identity remained intact. History testifies it: Babylonia vs Persia (End of Babylonian Empire), Greek vs Persia (End of Greek Empire and reemergence of Persia), Romans vs Persia (Longest military confrontation the world has ever seen, 600 years). What was real geniuses of Persians that remain them intact?? Yes, they were utterly smart and studied there rivals and tried to find the basic reasons of their power growth. Culturally they tried to remain intact as possible.
2. Muhammad (PBUH) wrote letters to both powers. The letter was in essence a warning to submit themselves to Allah or else war.
3. In the battle of Qadsyia Muslims (predominantly Arabs) crushed the Iranians and when the Persian commander was subjected before Hazarat Umar, Umar said,”What has happened, you found it below dignity to fight us? .” He at once said,”It is not Arabs that beat us but the Allah’s System that you follow led to our defeat.”
4. In times to come Persian injected Israiliates as Hadiths. No wonder most of Hadith writers were Persians. Moreover, Persians arranged the murder of Khlifas, led revolt and chaos in time to come (Abbasis etc.). The most remarkable thing they did was to create a Shia Sect which is no much than Persian cultural blueprint. They smartly saved their cultural Identity (The history speaks for itself Persians never remained under Muslim Umbrellah). Were upon where ever Arabs Muslims invaded their culture changed remarkably (language, customs etc.). It is important to note that Persians were the same who instigated the Mongols to attack Bagdad.

The above findings show that Persians played a very smart move. In my view Hadiths are the biggest BUG which is injected to Operating System we call Islam. Not only this literature destroys the spirit of Islam but make it time bound to 1400 years ago.

Anyway, You did a great job. I live in Pakistan and witnessed the worse shape of pseudo Islam with Sub-continent flavor in it (Peer, Fakirs, saint etc.)
. To bad the spirit due to which this nation was created is down in drains. I think you are form Turkey and I really admire you and your nation a lot. Turkey has one thing left which I think no other so called Muslims have non and that is Self Prestige, Freedom and Dignity. I think Islam is not for cowards but for daring because it asks for DEED and only daring can do it.

You said, “don`t wait for my translation”

Are you saying you haven’t translated the entire Reading yet?

I don’t speak Arabic, (I wish to God I could) and thus I rely on Arabic translators like…
http://translate.google.com/
http://www.babylon.com/definition/
http://openquran.org/
…and as many English translations that I can find.

It would be far easier for me to view your entire translation for clarification than to try and inject your new meanings to old words in already existing translations.

Peace upon you Aidid Safar

If you claim you want to learn, it is a long process and you have to start with the Arabic Quran (the only consistent book) by looking at every single word in it – use the same word to see if it fits into others verses to maintain the consistencies of its meaning and making sense of it – not my translations or any other translations. Translations are only tools to the basic understanding of the message. For those who expect a mehdi bound interpreter to come with a full interpretation of the Quran please read:

“Are they waiting for the full interpretation thereof? The day its final interpretation comes, those who neglected before you would say, “Surely, there were messengers of the Lord who came with the truth.Thus, is there for us from those who can intercede on our behalf? Or can we get another chance so that we can (a`mal)practice differently than what we used to (a`mal)practice? Indeed, they have lost their soul, and their own invention cannot help them.`(7:53)

The first two chapters I translated is only to demonstrate how meanings of words were mistranslated that lead us to (a`mal) “practice“ praying ritually and serve the idols carved by human hands.

Luqman lived long before the Quran was revealed and he was among the righteous man on earth. He don`t need to know the interpretation of any book to understand that:-

Idol worship is a serious crime` – we are enjoined to honor our parents and be appreciative to God.

He taught his son that if our deed is as small as an atomic particle placed inside a rock or anywhere in the heavens or the earth, God is compassionate, cognizant. He also told his son that they should commit in advocating righteousness and forbid evil, and stay steadfast in the face of adversity. Do not be arrogant, nor shall we walk in pride. Be humble as we walk, and never scream at others.

My advise to readers, don`t wait for my translation if you want to serve God ALONE.

Thank you for your comment and your support in spreading my site to your friends. I hope they too can see the absurdity in their inherited beliefs.

My publisher informed me that they were unable to deliver my book to a few countries and it is one of the reasons why the blog was created. And I wish to say thank you to a stranger who suggested that the book should me made available in the blogsphere – and it is him or her (I don’t know) who created this blog. It must have taken him or her many hours to put everything together.

My only priority is to get the message across and writing it is definately not for any financial gain. I only expect my rewards from the Al Mighty God who created me.

I am taking this opportunity to inform readers that I am not recruiting any followers or having any intention to initiate a new community. We were created as individuals and God has counted every single one of us. Thus we shall return to him as individuals. The Quran says: “No burden soul will bear the burden of another”. If I am wrong it is only to my own detrimental and no one can protect me from God.

The book is self-explanatory and easy to understand and in many places I appeal to readers to use their own intellectual faculties to evaluate their own beliefs. Of course the blind and the seer are not the same and I can see Muslims are behaving exactly the same like the people of Ibrahim who defy their common sense. When Ibrahim broke their idols – they knew these idols were made from the rocks and could’nt speak – yet they said, “Burn him in support of your gods, this is what you should do”. (21:68). Today many Muslims including those who claim to be the God alone community continue to defend the rock structure curved by the hands of the Arabs.

Truth should be speak out and it will reach the minds of people by breaking all the geographical,language and cultural barriers. I am following your site since two years. I found it is a reflection of my though and line of thinking. I tried a lot to reach you but alas I could not. I am an Indian presently working and residing in United Arab Emirates. My concern is about the non availability of your Quran transalation (full) in your site. I tried to order your book and it also did not worked due to some reason. I am proud to be a Muslim since we have thinkers like you. Dear Aidid we need to communicate since I am spreading your site to my friends and al of them found your line of though as powerful and correct.

Please keep a line of relationship so that if we could do some thing together for our own benefit and for the humaniy.
May Allah bestow his blessings to you .

Religion is big business, and people who manage it need not have any specialised skill except to find ways of how to invent lies in the name of God.

Today, in a sense, no religion on this earth is an exceptionj to this, it seems.
