SmartPolician:
Thank you. I have siblings and friends in Texas. According to official stats, Texas has more blacks than other states in the US.

So, my siblings and family say very early in the morning when sane people are trying to make their way to work, those black Americans are busy openly smoking things by the roadside. Those people don cast grin
I am not here to stereotype them but fact must be told. Where there is majority Black in a community there is high crime rate. Texas is now the leading state in robbery cases. Most perpetrators are Black. Black and Black crimes in Black community committed by Blacks

Our learned ones, can anyone throw light on Quran 3 vs 26-27?
I recently found myself inexplicably curious about the verses.
Say: 'O Allah, Lord of all dominion! You give dominion to whom You will, and take away dominion from whom You will, and You exalt whom You will, and abase whom You will. In Your Hand is all good. Surely You are All-Power-ful. You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account."



The verses are very clear and not ambiguous at all. Maybe you should be specific about your concern?. However, verse 27 may not be understood by some people due to geographical location but it is still generally understood bcus it applies to every part of the world. But it is clearer when people travel to the West. The second verse will be clear to them if they are familiar with the verse before heading Westward. The verse is talking about Summer and Winter i:e You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night;. Like right now in North America, it gets dark by 4:30PM (Maghrib). By 5:50PM it is Ishai. This is winter time.

In summer time, we have long day. Maghrib starts around 8:30 to9PM. Ishai around 10PM. Winter has just started. By January, Maghrib will be around 4PM. So in winter time it is short day long night. Currently, Fajr is 5:40AM. Zuhr 11:40AM. Asr 2PM. Maghrib 4:30PM. Isai 5:50PM. Summer time: Fajr 4AM. Zuhr 2PM. Asr 5PM maghrib 8:30PM. Ishai 10PM. You can see it is drastic change in time which Africa doesn't experience. This is my own "tafsir". There are other tafsir and or asbabun nuzul relating to the verse that may have historical context such as Abul A'la Maududi tafsir. He said about Q3:27 Those who disbelieved and disobeyed were seen to be prosperous, whereas the believers, with their devotion and loyalty to God, suffered all the deprivation, persecution and torment to which the Prophet and his followers were subjected around the year 3 A.H. The contrasting states of the two groups of men were the reverse of what would naturally be expected. This raised disturbing questions in people's minds about the underlying wisdom of this phenomenon. The verse conveys God's answer.



In the same verse 27, "and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living." Women can answer this lol. We have witnessed pregnant women died during labor and baby was taken out of them alive. We have also seen dead babies pulled out of surviving mother during labor. But again, Abul A'la Maududi tafsir about Q3:27 Those who disbelieved and disobeyed were seen to be prosperous, whereas the believers, with their devotion and loyalty to God, suffered all the deprivation, persecution and torment to which the Prophet and his followers were subjected around the year 3 A.H. The contrasting states of the two groups of men were the reverse of what would naturally be expected. This raised disturbing questions in people's minds about the underlying wisdom of this phenomenon. The verse conveys God's answer.

I share your sentiment. African Americans don't like Black Africans because a good number of them are utterly useless and always want to blame the system for their failure.

They hate to go to school; they are chiefly good at thuggery and abusing and selling crack. If they see Nigerians or Mexicans who are willing to work or go to school to survive, they start hating on them.

African Americans need serious value reorientation because they are quickly making thuggery and gangsterism a way of life.
So far, up to this moment, you are the only one that makes rational comment. You captured the whole thing.

1. I take it that you agree that Moslems have no reason to claim that the Bible is corrupted. I also take it that you agree that Moslems have no reason to go to the Bible to affirm Mohamed or Islam.
what pay of my message you don't understand?. You have confirmed yourself that Bible was not written down in the lifetime of Jesus nor did Jesus know about Bible. You said known and unknown writers writers of the Bible were "inspired". Yet all that they wrote did not have chain of transmission to Jesus. Even our hadith that have sound chain linked to our prophet contains error needless to say Bible that was compiled stay Jesus. New versions even came out in recent years. Are those inspired too?




2. I have shown you that the Koran was not in a COLLATED form at the time of Mohamed. Zaid's initial query when asked to do so should make this clear.
Bros, why do you keep repeating this?. In Sunni version we know that. No one dispute this with you but you keep repeating yourself like 5 times now. It is on Shia version that says it was in the book form which also make sense if you study their theology. What we don't have difference of opinion on is Quran was written down and reviewed by the prophet. Is this difficult for you to comprehend?.




3. I have shown you that Mohamed forgot portions of the Koran to make you see the idiosy of these excuses we are getting about oral traditions.
this is your opinion. Prophet muhammad did not forget an ant portion of Quran




Look at my first statement above. The fact that there are conflicting stories and positions in your books ordinarily should be a red flag showing that something is wrong. But for some strange reasons you guys miss that out.
see pikin trying to fault Quran after 1400 years... grin you funny





Emp.iree, did the Koran not say that Allah can will for Mohamed to forget a verse or recitation? And you still want us to believe the contrary?
I don't even understand your point here



4. About 5,000 differences have been found between the Hafs and Wash Korans alone. Why should 'recitation' change the meanings of portions of the Koran?
Recite sura khawzar let's see if you know what you talking about.



You guys have simply chosen to blind your eyes to the truth about your religion.
[quote]I had prefer to be blinded by Quran than Christianity that has no source.


[quote]5. I see the nice way you try to run away from the origins of your religion. Again, an attempt to close your eyes to the truth
whatever rocks your boat


.

It's always difficult for a person who has spent all his life in a religion like Islam to want to accept its flaws.
you brought no flaws but you failed to understand you have comprehension problem.



6. You even came up with a REINTERPRETATION of the Koran! Interesting!
So, when we go to the hadith, you will go to Sira. If you are not satisfied with the two you ask for Koran. And even when the Koran is produced you REINTERPRET it to suit your narrative.
Look at my first statement above again.

The Koran CLEARLY says:
1)"(Mohammed) You are only a Warner and for every nation there is a guide." (13:7) and
2)"And we have sent no messenger but with the language of his people, that he might make (the message) clear for them." (14:4)
tell us what it means and let's see if you know what you are talking about.



And you are telling us that the Koran is lying. And you then go into your own 'logic' on how it is so. When you are not satisfied with the Koran you invent your own premises and conclusions.
?




Why don't you first try and explain those verses to us?
me?. To explain to you?. Knowing who you are?.

Islam speaks from both sides of the mouth.

1. Islamic literature and websites like Sunnah.com and about Islam.net show us CLEARLY what Islam say the people of the book are. But we know that, in order to win an argument, you guys will deny your sources, your prophet or even Allah.
you can say whatever you want. We learn every day. It is no longer news that most translators of Qur'an we're non Muslims and western trained Muslims such as Yusuf Ali. We do not blame them. At improve in translation of QUR'AN everyday. The translators used available or equivalent translation for nassara to Christians. But historically there were never Christians in Medina. Christianity was in Rome. There is one clear evidence in the seera of the prophet. If you want to learn incident like this you don't go to Hadith. You go to history instead. So in the seera the was incident that happened in Medina where nassara were sitting in the mosque with prophet Muhammad and Muslims in the afternoon. Then it was Salat (literally prayer) time for nassara (Nazarites, Nazarene) and they stood up to leave the mosque for their prayer but prophet muhammad (SAW) told them to pray in the Masjid that afternoon.

Question, if nassara were Christians as you, what prayer time do Christians pray in the afternoon?. So that afternoon in Medina, the Nazarites stood up to pray zuhr or ASR prayer. Remember I told you that Salat did not start with prophet Muhammad (SAW). It started with Noah and passed down. Salat is not new.

Here is the verse again




He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with Allah is that to which you invite them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him]. Q42:13








If the Koran never referred to Christians or Bible then on what basis do you Moslems claim that it is corrupted?
Bible is historical book and the reason Muslims translators used Christian for nassara is because of proximity i:e your claim to Jesus. There was nothing like Bible in the lifetime of Jesus until after him. Bible is histor book of different authors. Please buy and read "Who Wrote The Bible" by Richard E Friedman

Christianity was in Rome at the time. Not even in Jerusalem, Mecca or Medina. It was a pagan religion before Jesus was introduced to Rome. After they accepted Christ they incorporated their religious system into their pagan culture and coined names for themselves from christo+Christian=Christianity.




[b]If the Koran never had the Bible in mind then on what basis do Moslems run to it to affirm Mohamed or Islam?[/b]Again, it is history. To know this simple things you don't need to know the bible or need to be Bible scholar at all. The writers, both known and unknown writers of the Bible, in all honesty they tried but amongst them were hypocrites or lacked knowledge of the facts about Jesus. They put lots of unfounded stories in Jesus mouth. They gathered information like Paul did. Paul was a lawyer who went to what is known as middle east today to investigate and document life of Jesus. From there he got some facts and fallacies. Qur'an came to correct their errors and fallacies. Part of the errors is the idea of Jesus being God, son of God, Trinity and to rebuke crucifixion etc. Remember that Bible writers wrote and compiled the bible long after Jesus which you affirmed?. What messed Christians up is the fact that foreigners who never met Jesus were the prolific writers of the Bible. Ofcourse there were bound to be errors like that. So muslims never said everything in the bible is false. Rather we use Quran as the standard to correct your wrong. Jesus in his lifetime never wrote anything that God revealed to him down nor did his disciples. This is another important thing you need to learn. From Islamic perceptive, revelation came to Jesus in form of glass. Anytime God sent him a message, he grasped the message by heart and the message disappeared shortly afterwards. So there was never a documented record Gospel or injil. When Quran said God revealed Injil to Jesus it was talking about the message sent to him nor did his disciples write down anything. That message is what Quran says that it has been distorted. This is what muslims mean by Bible is corrupted. If you had never related to Jesus we would not have bothered ourselves. Just like Hindus and Buddhists who never related their books to any of the God's prophets and messagers. That's why majority Muslims care less about these religions.

But since Christians claimed to believe in Jesus and claimed his book was Bible, it is imperative that we challenge you and set his record straight because Jesus is our prophet. May Allah Blessings and peace be upon the son Mary. Ameen





2. We have your history as to how the Koran evolved but because it doesn't quite look neat you now want to change the narration.
If the Koran was "written down" in the time of Mohamed then what did Abu Bakr do? And after him what did Uthman do? Reprint more copies?
This is a repeat. Doesn't make sense to write again. Refer to previous post. I didn't change our historical narrative. Compilation is what Abu Bakr had issues with not texts.




You ask for the relevance of what Zaid told Abu Bakr.
When Zaid said "How dare you do a thing WHICH THE PROPHET HAS NOT DONE?" It should be CLEAR to anyone that he was saying that there was NO COLLATED KORAN at the time of Mohamed! Open your eyes man! Why close up your brain!
another repeat.




[
b]3. On memorisation[/b]
I guess you guys make a hype out of memorisation because it makes you feel good. You think it's some additional stuff to use in 'selling' your religion .
Yes, baby. We are proud of it grin I watched on YouTube few months ago where a Christian lady tried to recite Bible like reciting Qur'an. Lo ba yiwo cheesy Why are you guys always jealous of us grin







Did Mohamed perfectly memorise the Koran?
Yes, the best of mankind. The best of QUR'AN memorizers.



No, and the Hadith and Koran are very clear about this.

Narrated Aisha: The Prophet heard a man reciting the Qur'an in the mosque and said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him, as he has reminded me of such-and-such verses of such a Surah." (Sahih al-Bukhari: vol. 6, bk. 61, no. 556; also Sahih Muslim: bk. 4, no. 1720
lol... Do you need linguistic analysis again Bros?. This is clear now. "Reminds me" doesn't always me you forgotten something.





Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: ... (Muhammad said) I am only a human being and I forget just as you do; so when I forget, remind me ... (Sunan Abu Dawud: bk. 3, no. 1015; also Sahih al-Bukhari: vol. 1, bk. 8, no. 394)
you Sha looking for holes. This is in another context in matter of mundane. Prophet muhammad never erred in matter of religion or revelation.


Your companion (Muhammad SAW) has neither gone astray nor has erred. Q53:2



So, did Mohamed forget? Yes!
If Mohamed to whom the Koran was revealed forgot, why do you guys still make a big deal about memorisation?
Your companion (Muhammad SAW) has neither gone astray nor has erred. Nor does he speak of his own whims. It is only a revelation sent down ˹to him˺. He has been taught by one ˹angel˺ of mighty power and great perfection, who once rose to ˹his˺ true form while on the highest point above the horizon, Q53:2-7




4. Even when you guys know the truth you keep saying 'show us', 'bring the Koran that is....'. We know that you don't have the Abu Bakr or Uthman's Koran. But I just gave you two other versions there ‐ the Hafs and the Wash.
You are talking as if a non-moslem caught burning a 'fragment' of the Koran today will be spared your wrath. Why deny the obvious?
Hafs, Warsh are recitation.




5. Simple questions on origin of Islam are beginning to shake you up. Please answer these two simple questions:
1. Where did majority of those who wrote Islamic books write from - Mecca or Medina or farther away?
2. Which archeological findings do we have from Mecca to support Islam's origins?
both local and international in modern sense both the whole place was one Arabia until Europe emerged and partitioned the world.

Second question, we don't need archeologists to prove anything to us unlike your historical Bible said to be found in ancient toilet cheesy


I hope you won't come up with 'Allah knows best'.
And Allah knows Best. You feel better grin



[
b]6. Who was Mohamed sent to according to these?:[/b]

1)"(Mohammed) You are only a Warner and for every nation there is a guide." (13:7)
Very simple. He was sent to the whole world. This message at this moment applies to every nation and to the Muslims as well.



2)"And we have sent no messenger but with the language of his people, that he might make (the message) clear for them." (14:4)

The Koran here proves that as per his own standards Mohamed can only be a guide for his nation i.e. Arabs.
you see, I keep responses to this type of question and the one before very simple without having to drag it because these are very simple verses. Message started from the Arabs then extended to the rest of the world. Isn't any wonder why millions of nonarabs learn, know and speak Arabic?. Which religion today speak language of their prophets?. Jesus didn't speak English but most popular Bible today is in English.
