The Reading is consistent and there is no contradiction in the book.
Why do they not study the Reading carefully? If it were from other than God, they would have found many contradictions therein (4:82)
The Reading is the best Hadith or message and it is consistent. The word Hadith is found in the following verses.
God sent down the best Hadith/message a Scripture that is consistent (39:23)
Which Hadith/message beside this would you then believe in. (77:50)
The criterion of this study is to find the meanings of each word found to be inerrant with other passages by using the Quran alone. In other words, contrictory meanings from other sources besides the Quran are discounted.
There is no priesthood or religious clergy in Islam. Thus the interpretations by scholars or priests are also avoided.
They have taken their priests and the scholars as Lords besides God (9:31)
No human can claim to be the sole authority of the Reading.
God Most Gracious, the One who teaches the Reading. The One who created the human being. (55:2-3)
Only God can explain the Reading since He wrote it.
Do not move your tongue to hasten this revelation. We are in charge of putting them together into the Reading. Once We recite it, you shall follow this Reading. Then it is We who will explain it. (75:16-18)
The Reading explains itself and provides the best interpretation, beyond that of any human.
They never come to you with any example, except We provide you the truth and the best interpretation. (25:33)
Since the study is based solely from the Quran, critics are welcomed to put forward their arguments by applying the same principle.
There is no ambiguity to be found in the Reading.
A Qur’an (reading) in Arabic, without ambiguity so that they may attain success. (39:28)
The majority of Muslims will be afraid to read what is written in this book because they think they are already on the right path – in the ‘religion of Islam‘ – a belief they have inherited from their forefathers who were effectively shackled by the Arab religious masters. This book encourages them to think, to reason, and to question in the way of the Reading. Reflect on the purpose of life and see the wonders of it – but Muslims are disassembled and they are being dismantled bit by bit right before their eyes. It is being done either by those who would seek to do them ill, or by those who would seek to protect them from those who seek to do them ill.
Obviously what they are about to read is a dramatically different idea about the Islam they profess. This study is based upon a document they cannot deny of its authenticity – the Reading in its original Arabic. My wish for them is – try not to be the groups of people described by the Reading:-
Surely for those who disbelieve, it is the same over them – whether you warn them or did not warn them – they will never believe. God seals over their hearts – and over their hearing and over their sight – are veiled. And for them – the greatest suffering. (2:6-7)
This study threatens the position of all Islamic scholars and cult leaders who promote rock worship, paganism, extremism, and terrorism in the name of God. I invite them to prove me wrong on the basis of the Qur’an alone. Crying aloud of Aidid Safar’s errors or making accusation that he created new meaning to the Qur’an without proving it from the Book itself is useless. That is the patriarchal behaviour of ignorant mullahs who think they can fool the people.
Sincere Muslims the world over must realise, the Reading teaches them to use their common sense. ‘God deliberately blocks His guidance from those who defy their common sense ‘ (10:100). The so-called religious experts are no better than any ordinary Muslims. They will not be guided unless God guides them. In His fairness God says He guides whomever He wills – men or women without injustice. A person is guided not because of his or her knowledge of the language – but by their wisdom and power of reasoning. However, the self-proclaimed experts including those who promote false doctrine of miracle discoveries in the Quran will continue to exploit and cheat innocent people who think they need their guidance. The Reading teaches us to verify information and use our common sense each time we hear something new. Do not follow the following example:-
Some of them listen to you, but when they leave, they ask those who are knowledgeable (experts), “What did he say”? This is how God seals their heart, and they follow their own opinions. (47:16)
Read the above verse again and think. It won’t cost you a penny to think. Therefore, read this book with an open mind – and think carefully. You are not alone – other religionists and their scholars have in like manner enslaved the minds of innocent people who follow them blindly including the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhist, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, Bahais, or any other organised religions.
Dear Aidid,
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 .
Wa Salam
Sajid Koroth
Peace to you Sajid,
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.
Peace be with you Aidid Safar. Where may I download your ENTIRE translation of the Reading? I would like to learn more about your perspective of God’s last scripture by comparing your translation, verse by verse, with others. Your website is definitely an eye opener, and I’d like to read more than just the first two chapters. Please create a pdf file of your ENTIRE translation of the Reading, and also present all chapters on your website for the world to verify for themselves. May peace and blessings from God be upon you.
Peace be upon you QuranAlone1746. There are many readers who asked me about the translation and I am not sure why. In your case you said you want to compare my translation, verse by verse, with others. For what?
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.
Peace Aidid Safar,
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
You have rightly found out the conspiracies against Islam , but I have to correct when you say that it is entirely the fault of Arabs. I have to add here that most of people who concocted the hadeeth literature (200 years after Muhhammad (PBUH) death) were not Aarabs but had Persian background. If we analyze the Islamic history we will come to important findings:
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.
Regards,
Mohammad Ali
I agree with you regarding Islam is not a religion but an DEEN (way of life or mankind’s user manual to live in this Universe). The basic difference between DEEN (an Ideology) and Religion is that the first one is based upon rational judgment and set of rules logically and practically built, the later one lies on lack of judgments, irrationalities, dogmas, traditions, customs and man made misconceptions. This is why there is not a single world referring Islam as a religion but DEEN. As rightly said by Allama Iqbal in Reconstruction of the Religious Thoughts in Islam,”Islam is not an Idea but DEED”. Quran time again says that this message for those with knowledge, reasoning etc. It seems like common sense has not been the common commodity after all.
Regards,
Mohammad Ali
Dear Mohamad Ali,
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.
Dear Aidid,
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.
Peace be upon you Br. Mohammad Ali and thank you for your comments.
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.
Dear Mohd Isa bin Musa/Aidid, all
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.
Appreciate your comments.
Regards,
M5
The word “Badu-naa fil a’robi” refers to the desert Arabs. God uses the word “Bad-wee” in the Quran to refer to “Desert”.
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.
Great blog. You definitely articulated a lot of what I’ve been thinking for the last ten years and even gave me things to think about that I’d never thought of before. It’s uncanny how humanity has managed to shoot itself in the foot when it comes to Allah. But I guess Allah wills it for a reason.
Hi Shep,
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.
