dolphinheart:......... Am grateful. Also, why do some Christians refer to Jesus(Pbuh) as "our lord Jesus" ? Is Jesus(Pbuh) a servant or a God or Son of God I anticipate your response |
Demmzy15:.............. Jazakallahu khaeran kethiran! Am grateful bro. |
INJESUSNAME:........... I'll be the last fool on earth to exchange words with you!! Long post ? You have the option to quit this thread!.......... Evasive ? You can as well keep quiet and allow the person who asked the question to talk. Do you get it ....................... Confusing No, I don't agree! You must be a lazy man to read and comprehend. Irrelevant?? Pheeeeww, you must be a proponent of the "cram and pour" school of thought!.... Please keep your gob sealed and watch as they unfold |
true2god:......... May God in his infinite mercies forgive your shortcomings!!!.... However, must you resort to abusing someone before you make your point clear Saying "piss" instead of "peace" does not change what's on ground. May you be forgiven once more |
dolphinheart:........ Sir, what is the stand of the holy bible as regards the number of GOD ? Do we have only ONE God or we have God the father, the son and the holy spirit ? Am I asking to much sir? |
dolphinheart:......... Thanks for your understanding! I do really appreciate! I also have questions to ask. But that will be after I provide answers to ur questions. Good nyt man. |
dolphinheart:................... Opz! "genealogical difference" I just got the previous question right... But to be candid with you, the questions are really appreciated, but they are relatively "too much"!!! You would have done good to me if you had asked them one after the other for clarity. Nonetheless, let's see how far I can go!!!.... Quran 11 vs 78 was referring to ABRAHAM(IBRAHIM)..... Hud is a prophet of Allah who was sent to the people of Aad to stop worshipping idols...... While I provide answers to the ones I know; I'll embark on research till I find the appropriate answer to the other questions. I'll rather belt up than to spew gibberish from my gob! May God help us all |
plainbibletruth:.................. What is this one saying again ? Have I made myself clear on the "error" you claimed the Qur'an made ? You didn't get back to me and I am a bit disturbed! Let me answer the person who asked this particular question! Its not meant for you please!!!....... He did quote me and of course I have to do justice to that if I can..... |
Emilokoiyawon:....... Heheheh! Yeye human rice. You should know I was only kidding with the "beans" stuff na!!! Haba, if I go fall my hand, I go fall am big time na. I no go fall my hand cheaply. |

Emilokoiyawon:........ Hehehe! Yeye human beans |
dolphinheart:...................... You are free to ask any question provided you are objective in the manner @ which you ask the question! If I know it, I'll let you know and if I don't know it, I'll own up ...................... Now to answer your question, these are the verses!!...... "And his people came rushing towards him, and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: "O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear Allah, and cover me not with shame about my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?" [Qur'an 11:78]................................................... ........................... In Chapter 7 verses 65, 73 and 85 Prophets Hud, Saleh and Shu‘ayb are referred to as "brothers" of their respective peoples. "And unto (the tribe of) A'ad (We sent) their brother, Hud. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah serve Him. Will ye not ward off (evil)"? [Qur'an 7:65] "And to (the tribe of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah serve Him. A wonder from your Lord hath come unto you. Lo! this is the camel of Allah, a token unto you; so let her feed in Allah's earth, and touch her not with hurt lest painful torment seize you". [Qur'an 7:73] "And unto Midian (We sent) their brother, Shu‘ayb. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah serve Him. Lo! a clear proof hath come unto you from your Lord; so give full measure and full weight and wrong not mankind in their goods, and work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering thereof. That will be better for you, if ye are believers" [Qur'an 7:85] The people of Lot are also mentioned in chapter 50 verse 13 as the brothers of Lot except for the word "banati" which means my "daughters".... In 11:78, all other references have used the word "akhun" which means "brother". Another one........ "The ‘Ad, Pharaoh, the brethren of Lut", (Qur'an 50:13) And in another place, the Qur'an addresses the believers as brothers-in-faith. "The Believers are but a single brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy". [Qur'an 49:10] May we all be guided! |
Emilokoiyawon:......... I cook poison... |
XavierBlue:........... Great to hear from you!!! |
plainbibletruth:................. Its not a mandate you accept!!! You asked me to defend the "error" according to you and I did! I am not trying to convince you here, I did exactly what you asked me to do.................................................... The words "sister", "brother", "son" and "daughter" in Arabic usage have very wide connotations. On this basis itself, modern day Western scholarship has rejected the claim of "confusion" between the two Marys, i.e., Mary, mother of Jesus, and Miriam, sister of Moses and Aaron........................................................................... For example, A. J. Wensinck writing in the Encyclopaedia Of Islam says: "Maryam is called a sister of Hārūn (sūra XIX, 29), and the use of these three names ‘Imrān, Hārūn and Maryam, has lead to the supposition that the Kur'ān does not clearly distinguished between the two Maryams, of the Old and the New Testaments. The Kur'ān names two families as being especially chosen: those of Ibrāhim and of ‘Imrān (sūra III, 32). It is the family of ‘Imrān, important because of Moses and Aaron, to which Maryam belongs. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO ASSUME THAT THESE KINSHIP LINKS ARE TO INTERPRETED IN MODERN TERM. THE WORDS "SISTER" and "DAUGHTER", like their male counterparts, in Arabic usage can indicate extended kinship, descendance or spiritual affinity.................. This second ‘Imrān, together with Harun, can be taken as purely Kur'ānic...................... Muslim tradition is clear that there are eighteen centuries between the Biblical ‘Amram and the father of Maryam. ................................................................................................................................................................. The controversy surrounding the honorary epithet “Sister of Aaron” applied to Mary, mother of Jesus, in the Qur'an, has been a characteristic of Muslim-Christian dialogue from the very beginning of the Prophet’s mission. The Christians of Najran queried the use of this epithet, suggesting the Qur'an had confused Mary, mother of Jesus with Mary, sister of Aaron and Moses. This observation developed polemical overtones beginning in the 9th century in the form of Nicetas of Byzantium's trenchant criticisms and general Anti-Islam polemic. Believing the Qur'an was simply a hodgepodge of Jewish and Christian texts, Western scholarship continued to transmit this alleged historical contradiction until recent times, where a balanced and fair look at the relevant texts shows no such anachronism exists. Though descriptions such as ‘Children of Adam’, ‘Children of Israel’, ‘mother of’ ‘brother of’, ‘sister of’, ‘son of’, etc., may presuppose direct physical consanguinity, they cannot in all instances be understood as such, without imposing a patently absurd, nonsensical understanding of the text...... May God help us all |
adullam210:............................................................................. NB: ALLAH is INFALLIBLE but the MUHAMMAD(SAW) is FALLIBLE because he was/is a human...... Now, to answer you sir. The question now is why the epithet “O SISTER OF AARON”? Well, Upon seeing Mary with a child, and having no knowledge of her having married anyone or being unchaste, her people exclaimed using the epithet yā ukhta harūn or “O sister of Aaron”. From the immediate context it is obvious this epithet was used to draw Mary's attention, which could mean the following things. Firstly, it was to remind her of her similarity to Aaron in her piety and worship of God. Thus the statement becomes a reprimand to her having borne a child without being married, a shocking sin given her piety and the known righteousness of her immediate family and her ancestors................... Secondly, the epithet yā ukhta harūn or "O sister of Aaron" was also to remind Mary of her pious ancestor MIRIAM, the sister of Aaron (and Moses), who was given the title "prophetess" (EXODUS 15:20) and is highly regarded in the Hebrew Bible and rabbinical literature. She is mentioned in (MICAH 6:4) with Moses and Aaron as one of the three who led Israel out of Egypt. The rabbinical literature elaborates the biblical account where MIRIAM is portrayed as a person for whom God intervened. God honoured her by Himself officiating as the cohen to declare her definitely a leper and subsequently to declare her cleansed. Because she had waited for Moses by the river, the Israelites waited for her to recover. A miraculous well, created during the twilight on the eve of the first Sabbath, accompanied the Children of Israel in the desert due to her merits. Like Moses and Aaron, she too died by the kiss of God since the angel of death had no power over her. Both these explanations have a support from a ḥadīth of Prophet Muḥammad(SAW). The Christians of Najran during the time of the Prophet raised a similar objection and it was answered by the Prophet(SAW). In Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim, a ḥadīth related by Mughirah ibn Shu‘bah [5326] says: Mughirab. Shu‘ba reported: When I came to Najran, they (the Christians of Najran) asked me: You read "O sister of Harun(Aaron)" in the Qur'an, whereas Moses was born much before Jesus. When I came back to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) I asked him about that, whereupon he said: "The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the NAMES OF APOSTLES AND PIOUS PERSON§ WHO HAD GONE BEFORE THEM." It is clear from this ḥadīth that the Prophet did not "CONFUSE" between the two Marys. He pointed out that people from earlier times gave names after the pious people who had gone before them.......... Furthermore, the Muslim exegetes have already disproved the alleged confusion of the two Marys using the above ḥadīth and the Qur'an itself.......... For example, BARBARA FREYER STOWASSER points out: Mary's designation as "sister of Aaron" (and also "daughter of Amram" has led some non-Muslims to allege a Qur'anic "confusion" of Miriam (Maryam) the sister of Aaron and Moses with Mary (Maryam) the mother of Jesus. THIS CONTROVERSY IS VERY OLD..., AND REFUTATION OF THE ALLEGATION BY MUSLIM AUTHORITIES IS WELL- DOCUMENTED. According to the tafsir, Mary was addressed as "sister of Aaron" because the Qur'an is drawing a comparison, or because she did have a brother by that name.............................................................. Furthermore, Elsewhere, concerning the alleged contradiction of the two Marys, STOWASSER, quoting Ibn Kathir says:......"This controversy is as old as the Muslim-Christian dialogue. The Prophet is said to have refuted similar arguments made by the Christians of Najran during his lifetime; "to confuse Mary the mother of Jesus with Mary the sister of Moses and Aaron in Torah is COMPLETELY WRONG and in contradiction to the sound Hadith and the Qur'anic text as we have established it in the Tafsir" (Isma'il ibn Umar Abu l-Fida Ibn Kathir, Qisas al-anbiya', ed. Mustafa Abd al-Wahid, vol. II [Dar al-kutub al-haditha, 1968] pp. 393-394. Therefore, the epithet "O sister of Aaron" used by Mary's people when they saw a baby in her arms, was simply a reminder to her of the people like her who had gone before and were pious and chaste. Furthermore, the Qur'an, just like the New Testament, associates Mary, mother of Jesus, during the time of Zakariyya. This makes the case for "confusion" between the two Marys untenable. ....... Except you are indolent, bias or one-sided in the way you make your research, The Qur'an is devoid of mistakes; watch your tongue!!!..... God bless us all. |

The write up alone bores me!!! The Qur'an is accurately accurate, perfectly perfect and completely complete !!!... However, if the bible was not edited, why do we have different versions King James version is a good example of one of the versions, new international version is another.... The contradictions in the bible is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf!! You guys claim to have holy trinity right?? (Father, Son and Holy spirit))..... But Deut 6 vs 4 says something else... Let me quote....... "The Lord our God is one Lord; or The Lord is our God, the Lord is one; or The Lord is our God, the Lord alone"..... Another one is Mark 12 vs 29.... "“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one"..... How can you reconcile that ..... Another one is Matt 28 vs 19 and I quote.... "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the FATHER and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT"..... How can you defend this as well ?........ |
