Dear Mr. Joseph,
S/Alaykum,
- 2:260 - From various translation, I get two meanings - Either ALLAH ( ST), has informed Abraham to take four birds , train them to fly from four hills OR four pieces from one bird which will fly back to Abraham , which was not clear to me. Which one is correct translation so that Abraham gets his reply clearly to his queries/proof from Allah (ST)?
16:43 / 2:260 - From various translation, I get two meanings - Either ALLAH tells Prophet Muhammad to ask people of previous scripture to clarify his doubts of his messenger-ship OR Unbelievers to ask people of previous scripture of any doubts. Which one is correct translation so that Prophet Muhammad too required to get proof of his messenger-ship?
(as some translators have put their understanding in brackets, which has made different meanings to me)
Please assist to clarify what do you make out from these verses (pertaining to proof?)
Best Regards
