Dear good logic
Salam
Thanks for your response. I am not an expert in Arabic. I used to read various translations of the Quran to understand the meaning, and if necessary i use dictionary and concordance.
Here are the references where `jasad' is translated as a body.
1.
j-s-d- body, to embody, to take a concrete form; to coagulate; to be next to the body, ; to be dyed with saffron; Of this jasad occurs four times in the Quran.
(for details : ARABIC-ENGLISH DICTIONARY OF QUR’ANIC USAGE by ELSAID M. BADAWI and MUHAMMAD ABDEL HALEEM Page 164 )
2.
JASAD n.m.-a body .: .
7:148 (146) of their ornaments a Calf- a mere body that lowed
20:88 (90) then he brought out for them a Calf, a mere body that lowed
21:8 (8)nor did We fashion them as bodies that ate not food -
38:34 (33) We tried Solomon, and We cast upon his throne a mere body
(source: A CONCORDANCE OF THE QUR'AN by Hanna E. Kassis)
3.
And in a word-to-word translation of the Quran the word was translated as `body'
