Lukuluku69:So, what's your problem!? Can we look at this man who could say to us "Your Money or your Life" in the name of his God. 1. How is he different from an Armed Robber? 2. Is money equivalent to Salvation in Islam? |
Lukuluku69, Is the work by Wahidi - Asbab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi another Fabrication by Islamic agents? |
Lukuluku69:Okay! So Jesus wanted them to FIGHT: right? |
Lukuluku69:After he told ALL of them to buy a sword Luk 22:36-37: "Then said he to them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his money: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end." Then suddenly, two swords were okay!? No wonder, the core doctrine of Christians is to kill Muslims wherever we find them Lukuluku69:When a Muslim watches too much Movies especially "Lord of the Rings" Then, you'll be well versed as to explain this apparent contradiction from the Words of Christ Mat 26:52: "Then said Jesus to him, Put up again your sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." Apparently, Jesus want to kill his Disciples! Abi!? I've been waiting for you: Why did someone doctor the Qur'an by inserting Rahman in the earlier revealed Surahs of the Qur'an? Or your scholars are fabricating history of the Qur'an again? |
gaskiyamagana:I am saying exactly what your EARLIEST SCHOLARS are saying about ISLAM! Are they UNTRUE? Here is the work of Wahidi - Asbab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi again! Qur'an 17:110 Say to them (O Prophet!): "Call upon Him as Allah or call upon Him as al-Rahman; call Him by whichever name you will, all His names are beautiful. Neither offer your Prayer in too loud a voice, nor in a voice too low; but follow a middle course." The earliest and the most important work on the history of the verses of the Qur'an is undoubtedly Kitab asbab al-Nuzul ("Book of occasions of revelation" of Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi (d. 1075 CE). al-Wahidi mentions occasions of about 570 verses out of 6236 verses of the Quran.* تفسير Asbab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi (Say (unto mankind): Cry unto Allah, or cry unto the Beneficent…) [17:110]. Said Ibn ‘Abbas: “One night in Mecca, The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, stood up for the night vigil prayer. He kept saying in his prostration: ‘O Beneficent, O Merciful!’ (Rahman Raheem); And so the idolaters said: ‘Muhammad used to call unto one Allah; now he is calling unto two gods: Allah and the Beneficent (Al-Rahman). We do not know of anyone by the name of the Beneficent except the Beneficent of al-Yamamah (meaning Musaylimah the liar)’, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”. Said Maymun ibn Mihran: “At the beginning of revelation, the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give peace, used to write 'In Thy name, O Allah’ until this verse was revealed (Lo! It is from Solomon, and lo, it is: In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful) [27:30], after which he always wrote ‘In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful’. The Arab idolaters then commented: ‘We know this Merciful but who is the Beneficent?’ As a response, Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”. Said al-Dahhak: “The people of the Book said to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace: ‘You mention very little the Beneficent and yet Allah mentions this name in the Torah in abundance’. https://www.altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp? |
What is the jargon in showing you what YOUR OWN religious books say about Islam? Are you saying that: Kitab asbab al-Nuzul ("Book of occasions of revelation" of Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi (d. 1075 CE). al-Wahidi is a LIE? gaskiyamagana:It seems your knowledge of Islam is not more than what you've been spoon fed with. A. tell me which is the Qur'an of Allah There are at present more than 30 different Arabic versions of the Koran in circulation. The five main versions are. 1) Hafs Quran, 95% General Muslim World. 2) Warsh Quran 3% Algeria, morocco 3) Qaloon Quran .7% Libya 4) Dooree Quran .3% Sudan +West Africa 5) Ibn Aamir Quran 1% Yemen. At least both are ALL Arabic: which of them is the Qur'an of Allah in tablets in heaven? B. Here, I present to you a list of 20 well-known English translations of the Qur'an: 1. Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation 2. Sahih International translation 3. Muhammad Asad translation 4. Pickthall translation 5. Arberry translation 6. Talal Itani translation 7. Marmaduke Pickthall translation 8. Shakir translation 9. Abdul Majid Daryabadi translation 10. Maulana Wahiduddin Khan translation 11. Yusuf Ali - Revised Edition translation 12.

vannessa7:Here vanessa7 is forming Islam keyboard Jihadist... unfortunately, she blocked her eyes and ears to EVIDENCES that prove that Islam is a Cult of Mohammed. A chicken in battery cage is speaking to birds flying about her. She says: I don't have to look for food everyday like you. Since I entered this cage, I've been well fed and watered Just come and join me for three months and you'll see that your life will go without stress If only the chicken know that she has traded her life and freedom for food! I still invite you to the Messiah! Learn of Islam not from the lies you are fed with. I hope you've not drank hantu from your Alfa husband? Taqqiya is allowed in his religion! |
Mr AntiChristian, Here is the work of Wahidi - Asbab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi again! Qur'an 17:110 Say to them (O Prophet!): "Call upon Him as Allah or call upon Him as al-Rahman; call Him by whichever name you will, all His names are beautiful. Neither offer your Prayer in too loud a voice, nor in a voice too low; but follow a middle course."

sukkot:Where did you get this? You make simple things extremely complex |
AntiChristian:So, he is certainly not a prophet but he can be trusted right!? |
My Question 1: 1. Can Muslims please explain how ALMOST all the chapters of the Qur'an except Al-Tawbah including the first 49 Chapters of the Qur'an contain the word Rahman ? Your Response: AntiChristian:Answers at tangent as usual! The question was not about chapters that contains Rahman BUT How come the first 49 Chapters revealed had Rahman when it wasn't revealed till the 50th revelation. E.g. What is Rahman doing in Al-Fathia the 5th revelatiom? My Question 2: 2. When did Jubril return to Replace the opening phrase "In Thy name, O Allah" with "In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful" (Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem) in the first 49 Chapters of the Qur'an? (Arabic: 'بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ) Your Response: AntiChristian:Tangent response again. Did Jubril dictated Rahman as part of the Al-Fathia for instance? How come no one heard of the Rahman until the 50th Revelation Al-Isra (The Night Journey)? Since the name of Allah "Rahman" wasn't revealed till Al-Isra, when did Jubril go back to edit the revelation? My Question 3: 3. What is the evidence for authorisation for this change in the Qur'an? Your Response; AntiChristian:We agree that the Qur'an of Mohammed is a COPY of the Qur'an on the mother tablet in paradise. If the Qur'an of paradise do not have Rahman until the Al-Isra but the Qur'an of Mohammed has Rahman in chapters earlier that Al-Isra, isn't it obvious that there is a change? My Question 4: 4. How can we prove that the Rahman of Al-Yamamah is not the same as the Rahman of Mohammed. Apparently, Al-Yamamah owns the copyright to the name Rahman. Your Response: AntiChristian:The Book Kitab asbab al-Nuzul ("Book of occasions of revelation"wink of Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi (d. 1075 CE) Contradicts you sir. The idolaters claimed they know ONLY of the Rahman of Al-Yamamah! AntiChristian:Thank you, but ALL these Surahs you QUOTED were revealed AFTER Al-Isra the 50th revelation! Try these for size: these are examples with VERSES of chapters BEFORE the Revelation of Al-Isra Examples: Surah Al-Fatihah (Chapter 1), verse 3 Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2), verse 163 Surah Maryam (Chapter 19), verse 58 Surah Ta-Ha (Chapter 20), verse 5 Surah Al-Furqan (Chapter 25), verse 60 Surah Ya-Sin (Chapter 36), verse 3 How do you explain the direct inclusion of Rahman in these verses? |
AntiChristian:I laugh in Hindi! Lies with evidence showed!? Are Arabic and Hebrew not both Semitic languages? 1. Al (Arabic) = El (Hebrew) = DEITY Therefore Al-Lah (Deity -Lah or God -Lah) 2. Didn't I also showed you from your Qur'an why it is written Bismilah rather than Bismi Allah? And other examples. Please don't go there now, refer to our past conversation. It is not deleted! LOL! You know how interesting it is when you Muslims claim your religious book is Fabricated, Weak or Good? 1. An Islamic cleric when preaching in the Mosque will quote this same Fabricated and Weak Sources for the Muslim ummah with everyone nodding in amazement - Allahu-akbah! When we use the same source, you protest 2. Why publish them when the documents are not trustworthy: are they not your own religious books? 3. Why were they accepted by your greatest scholars in the past 4. Why is it that any Source you don't like, the first automatic response is to reject it? You copy EVERYTHING Lime , Hook and Sinker from Lukas: do you see us complaining? (Thank goodness at least you reference it). Don't you think it would be nice to know where TenQ copies his Dawa from? LOL! |
AntiChristian:It's okay for us both then! |
AntiChristian:Can we VALIDLY replace the Shahada with "There is no God but If we can do this replacement, please give me a VALID example proof. I have never disputed with you that Allah is not Al-Rahman: this is according to all Islamic sources My Argument was that 1. The name Rahman was NOT part of the Revelation of the Qur'an in the first 49 Chapters . 2. How come we NOW find the name Rahman in verses revealed prior to Qur'an Chapter 50? 3. Was Rahman part of the Revelation of the Qur'an in the first 49 Chapters of the Qur'an? Give me Evidence if this is true! |
AntiChristian:Actually, when we Quote your sources for you, It's either 1. You claim we are lying 2. The source is a Fabrication 3. The source is Daif 4. We have Copy-pasted from Christian apologists websites etc Why don't we just focus only on your religious books? |
AntiChristian:If you have been using ChatGPT well, you know that sometimes it gives a very wrong information. Information from it need to be verified sometimes! Secondly, AI can be very partial my friend. It looks like these people have some certain PHOBIAS of offending especially Islam that they have programmed the AI to provide ONLY the nicest things about the religion. The same is observable with Google-translate. Some months ago, I tried to show you where the verse of "Allah and his Angels send blessings to the Messanger " was translated as "Allah and his Angels send blessings to the Messanger " A simple replacement of names in the verse however gives you the correct interpretation. https://www.nairaland.com/7335980/does-quran-use-special-arabic You can try these question with ChatGPT: 1. Is Prophet Mohammed more influential than Jesus? 2. Is Barrack Obama more influential than Muhamadu Buhari 3. List at least one morally bad things Prophet Mohammed did in his lifetime 4. List two morally bad things Adolf Hitler did in his lifetime You will see that the AI is trained to avoid especially religious conflicts by sitting on the fence. AI is good for general information which may be confirmed from other sources except if trivial |
AntiChristian:I don't have problems with chapters revealed AFTER Qur'an 17. I only have problems with chapters revealed before it I guess I should help you with examples of Surahs containing Al-Rahman that preceded Surah 17. I have ignored the headers of the Surahs to make things easy Examples: Surah Al-Fatihah (Chapter 1), verse 3 Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2), verse 163 Surah Maryam (Chapter 19), verse 58 Surah Ta-Ha (Chapter 20), verse 5 Surah Al-Furqan (Chapter 25), verse 60 Surah Ya-Sin (Chapter 36), verse 3 How do you explain the direct inclusion of Rahman in these verses? Thanks Attached is a screenshot of the Al-Fathia
|
AntiChristian:Thank you for being truthful about the fact that the book is a very important source of information about the Qur'an for Muslims even if it is NOT a primary source of information. |
I decided to find other sources for you so that you won't complain that Wahidi was fabricating history for the greatest human being of all mankind prophet Mohammed! Is the Book Kitab asbab al-Nuzul ("Book of occasions of revelation"wink of Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi (d. 1075 CE) Reliable?

Here below is the extracts of Tafsir by Tafsir Al-Tabari on Qur'an 17:110 Tafsir Al-Tabari on Qur'an 17:110 The Almighty says mentioning it to His Prophet: Say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists of your people who deny the supplication of the Most Merciful (Call on God) O people (or call on the Most Merciful, by whatever name you call upon, He has the most beautiful names) By which of His names, glory be to Him, do you call on your Lord, for you only call on one, and He has the most beautiful names, and it was only said to Him, Praise be to Him. God bless him and grant him peace, because the polytheists in what was mentioned heard the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, calling on his Lord: “O our Lord God, and O our Lord the Merciful.” They thought that he was calling on two gods, so God sent down this verse to His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as a protest for his Prophet against them. He said: Al-Hussein narrated to us, he said: Muhammad bin Katheer narrated from Abdullah bin Waqid, from Abi Al-Jawzaa, from Ibn Abbas. He said: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was prostrating and supplicating: O Most Merciful, O Most Merciful. The polytheists said: This person claims that he is supplicating one, and he is supplicating two by two, so God Almighty revealed (Say: Call upon God, or call upon the Most Merciful, whatever you call upon, for to Him are the Most Beautiful Names)... . The verse Al-Qasim told us, he said: Al-Hussein praised us, he said: Jesus disbelieved; On the authority of Al-Awza’i, on the authority of Makhoul, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, “was praying in Mecca one night, saying in his prostration: O Most Merciful, O Most Merciful, and a man from the polytheists heard him, and when it was morning he said to his companions: Look what Ibn Abi Kabshah said, calling tonight the Most Merciful who is in Yamama And there was a man in Al-Yamama who was called Al-Rahman: So it was revealed (Say: Call upon God or call upon the Most Merciful. Whatever you call upon, to Him belongs the most beautiful names). Whatever you invoke, to Him belong the most beautiful names). (2) Muhammad bin Amr narrated to me, he said: Abu Asim told us, he said: Isa narrated to us, and Al-Harith told me, he said: Al-Hassan narrated to us, he said: Warqa’ narrated to us, all of them on the authority of Ibn Abi Najih, on the authority of Mujahid, his saying (whatever you call upon) by one of his names Musa bin Sahl told me, he said: Muhammad bin Bakkar Al-Basri told us, he said: bending Hammad bin Issa; On the authority of Ubaid bin al-Tufail al-Juhani, he said: Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, on the authority of Abd al-Aziz bin Umar bin Abd al-Aziz, on the authority of Makhoul, on the authority of Arak bin Malik, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who said: “God has ninety-nine names, all of which are in the Qur’an Whoever counts them will enter Paradise |
Here below is the extracts of Tafsir by Al-Qurtubi on Qur'an 17:110 Al-Qurtubi on Qur'an 17:110 The reason for the revelation of this verse is that the polytheists heard the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him. May God bless him and grant him peace - supplicate, O God, O Most Merciful. They said: Muhammad used to command us to supplicate to one God, while he supplicated to two gods. Ibn Abbas said it. Makhoul said: The Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - prayed tahajjud one night and said in his supplication: “O Most Merciful, O Most Merciful.” A man from the polytheists heard him, and there was a man in Al-Yamamah called Al-Rahman. So the verse was revealed indicating that they are two names for one name. |
Encyclopedia1:Thank you, do you want me to open my mind to obviously something that is NOT true? Your Islamic books say that 1. Jubril dictated the Qur'an perfectly as he received it from Allah 2. The Qur'an is a copy of the Qur'an Qur'an on tablets in Paradise and it is ETERNAL (meaning that it had been perfected even before Adam was created) 3. Al-Rahman was NOT part of the Qur'an till Surah Al-Isra Don't you know that except someone DOCTORED the Qur'an, it is IMPOSSIBLE that the Name Al-Rahman be part of the first 49 Chapters of the Qur'an? Can you suggest a Scholar on Nairaland to answer this Question? At least, Mr Encyclopedia1, you have tried your BEST Lukuluku69, AntiChristian, LegalWolf will keep Quiet now. I'm still waiting: am sure you were not taught this because you were not expected to know the answer |
Encyclopedia1:I do honestly appreciate your response to this. You have answered the Question Why the Basmalah does not appear at the beginning of Soorat at-Tawbah AND Why there is no Basmalah between it (Soorat at-Tawbah) and al-Anfaal Unfortunately, my questions were not about these. My Questions was about Why Rahman or Al-Rahman is included in the first 49 Chapters of the Qur'an according to Revelation since the name of Allah Al-Rahman was used FIRST by Mohammed in the 50th Revelation Al-Isra For example: Surah Al-Fathia is the 5th Chapter in the Order of Revelation YET, the first verse contain the phrase "Bismilah Ramani Raheem " This should not be because the name of Allah Rahman was NOT revealed UNTIL the 50th Revealed Surah Al-Isra Hence my Questions: : 1. Can Muslims please explain how ALMOST all the chapters of the Qur'an except Al-Tawbah including the first 49 Chapters of the Qur'an contain the word Rahman ? 2. When did Jubril return to Replace the opening phrase "In Thy name, O Allah" with "In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful" (Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem) in the first 49 Chapters of the Qur'an? (Arabic: 'بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ) 3. What is the evidence for authorisation for this change in the Qur'an? 4. How can we prove that the Rahman of Al-Yamamah is not the same as the Rahman of Mohammed. Apparently, Al-Yamamah owns the copyright to the name Rahman. Thank you
|
Mr Lukuluku69 Is Ahmad al-Wahidi telling lies !? Or as usual, the problem is with TenQ who doesn't understand Islam? |
Mr AntiChristian, I guess you can use ChatGPT to answer the Questions as usual! Ahmad al-Wahidi may be telling lies you know!? LOL! |
jumpandpas:1. Who is a Lawful Captive: A Lawful captive is one whose enslavement is by a contract! Eg. 1. He sold himself (knowingly or unknowingly) to his task master 2. He was sold by one who has authority over him 2. Can a Lawful Captive know he is such,: Yes and No as it doesn't matter when he doesn't know the terms of his contract. He may know in part if he sold himself, but usually he can't even know the full term of his contract. Eg Untill Adam and Eve's eyes were opened, they never knew the full magnitude of what their contract with satan will cause them. 3. Who can set the Captive Free? The Blood of Jesus is ENOUGH to break ANY chain of the captive and even take the task master captive. 4. How does a person know if he's a Captive? Any one who notices patterns of limitations in areas of his life should pray prayers of FAITH |
enilove:The way things work on the spiritual is that satan can only try to persuade people off the TRUE God by giving them REASONS and may provide a conducive ENVIRONMENT for it. However, satan CANNOT force anyone. He needs the full cooperation of people to reject God. We still need to pray for them for the grace of freedom from satan and their eventual salvation in Christ Jesus |
Nazgul:That's not true. Young people starting out have a place close to their job or hustle place. But don't stay long. It's just a stepping stone |
Ken4Christ:This is the trademark of Satanic enslavement. This is why we should always pray for Muslims. Even when they steal, kill and destroy, they feel it is noble since these is done in the name of Allah! |
AntiChristian:I actually consult prophet Google (PBUH)! The book is your book! Muslims scholars all over reference them daily. Whenever you now don't like a truth, you deny them Can you proof to me that al-Tirmidhi is NOT a respected scholar of Islam? |
enilove:Of course, without lies both to themselves and to others, their pack of cards of lies scatters without hope for redemption. This is why they must keep on manufacturing new lies everyday! |
EVIDENCE: 1. Muslims agree that the order of the Qur'an as it is is very different from the order of Revelation. Meaning Al-Fathia is NOT the first revelation of Allah and Al-Naas is NOT the last Chapter. 2. The correct order of Revelation of the Qur'an is 1st Al-'Alaq (The Clot) 96 2nd Al-Qalam (The Pen) 68 3rd Al-Muzzammil (The Enshrouded One) 73 4th Al-Muddathir (The Cloaked One) 74 5th Al-Fatihah (The Opener) 1 6th Al-Masad (The Palm Fiber) 111 7th At-Takwir (The Overthrowing) 81 8th Al-A'la (The Most High) 87 9th Al-Layl (The Night) 92 10th Al-Fajr (The Dawn) 89 11th Ad-Dhuhaa (The Morning Hours) 93 12th Ash-Sharh (The Relief) 94 13th Al-'Asr (The Declining Day) 103 14th Al-'Adiyat (The Courser) 100 15th Al-Kawthar (The Abundance) 108 16th At-Takathur (The Rivalry in World Increase) 102 etc. 3. Today, we will look at the 50th Chapter according to Revelation 50th Al-Isra (The Night Journey) i.e. Qur'an 17:110. Qur'an 17:110 Say to them (O Prophet!): "Call upon Him as Allah or call upon Him as al-Rahman; call Him by whichever name you will, all His names are beautiful. Neither offer your Prayer in too loud a voice, nor in a voice too low; but follow a middle course." This verse was revealed to Mohammed because 1. The Meccans for the First time heard Mohammed calling Allah by the name Al-Rahman. They were wondering if Mohammed is introducing another God other than Allah to them because for the first time in years, they heard Mohammed speaking of Al-Rahman (the Beneficent) 2. The only person they know who mentions the name of his god as Al-Rahman was a man called Al-Yamamah 3. Prior to this time, the beginning of every Surah of the Qur'an was preceded with In Thy name, O Allah’ UNTIL this verse was revealed. 4. Mohammed's response through Allah was that ALL beautiful names are for Allah. In other words, Allah does not have only one name. 5. The earliest and the most important work on the history of the verses of the Qur'an is undoubtedly Kitab asbab al-Nuzul ("Book of occasions of revelation" of Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi (d. 1075 CE). al-Wahidi mentions occasions of about 570 verses out of 6236 verses of the Quran.* تفسير Asbab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi (Say (unto mankind): Cry unto Allah, or cry unto the Beneficent…) [17:110]. Said Ibn ‘Abbas: “One night in Mecca, The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, stood up for the night vigil prayer. He kept saying in his prostration: ‘O Beneficent, O Merciful!’ (Rahman Raheem); And so the idolaters said: ‘Muhammad used to call unto one Allah; now he is calling unto two gods: Allah and the Beneficent (Al-Rahman). We do not know of anyone by the name of the Beneficent except the Beneficent of al-Yamamah (meaning Musaylimah the liar)’, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”. Said Maymun ibn Mihran: “At the beginning of revelation, the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give peace, used to write 'In Thy name, O Allah’ until this verse was revealed (Lo! It is from Solomon, and lo, it is: In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful) [27:30], after which he always wrote ‘In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful’. The Arab idolaters then commented: ‘We know this Merciful but who is the Beneficent?’ As a response, Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse”. Said al-Dahhak: “The people of the Book said to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace: ‘You mention very little the Beneficent and yet Allah mentions this name in the Torah in abundance’. https://www.altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp? Others who have commented on Qur'an 17:110 in varying details are 1. Abbas - Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs 2. Kathir - Ibn Al Kathir 3. Wahidi - Asbab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi |
