« on: March 22, 2017, 01:22:54 AM »And with 3:146 the hafs say fought while the warsh says died so how do we explain this because it sounds like different versions this is very confusing
Shalom / peace Yahya .... Did you read the article that was shared by Ilker above by brother Joseph? He argues that the Hafs version is the most authentic ....
"The Hafs transmission remains the widely accepted transmission in the Muslim world today which is attested not only by consensus (and mutawwatir propagation) but also early Quranic codices."

Joseph Islam wrote the following:QuoteAs-salam alaykum
The linkage and theme of this surah in the main goes back to verse 9:1 regarding treaty breakers.
Please see the following illustration which I trust captures the essence of the fighting verses including verse 9:29.

I also have a supporting article below.

I hope that helps, God willing
Joseph
This is merely personal interpretation of Joseph Islam that's no support in the Qur'aan, particularly if the encompassing verses are read and profoundly contemplated. Verses before 9:29 were revealed about treaty breakers, but kindly note that these polytheists didn't have to pay the jizya, they only had to repent, establish prayers and pay the zakat (Brother Joseph doesn't make this distinction). So, this brother has to bring rational evidence from the Qur'aan how he could connect 9:29 to previous verses since these two are not the same nor telling about the same incident
It'd be ridicilous that some polytheists has to repent, establish the prayers and pay the zakat, while others has to pay the jizya. So, why this difference in the first place if 9:29 and 9:1 has a connection? Furthermore, 9:29 is speaking about those who were given the book.
The differences:
1. The previous verses mentions polytheists and 9:29 mentions those who were given the book
2. Polytheists had to repent, establish the prayers and give the zakat (not jizya) while those who were given the book had to pay the jizya, thus these tending to contrast
3. The reason to fight the polytheists were because they broke treaties, while fighting those who were given the book was that they didn't believe in Allaah, the lasy day, nor didn't not consider unlawful what Allaah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth.
Salam
Shalom / peace ... I'm not sure I get your points .....The fact that Jizya was to be paid by the people of the book who did not uphold the religion of truth is given by the illustration. So I don't understand what your concern is.....The illustration makes it clear what the split was and linkage in the 'main' to verse 9:1. i.e. Treaty breakers AND transgressors. (Pagans idolaters and disbelieving of the people of the book) .......
In my view an unnecessary criticism....

Islamic Duties / Re: Regarding Islamic Divorce
« on: March 14, 2017, 10:56:26 PM »
Shalom / peace bahariniam.... The meaning of 'revoke' means to cancel something. So in the context of the divorce .... it means was the 'divorce' cancelled. If the divorce is cancelled then there is no divorce. So the article is correct ......You are reading it wrong .... it is not the marriage being revoked ...it is the DIVORCE being revoked ....

Shalom / peace brothers Joseph / Zack ......
I try not to criticise the Bible unduly .... something I have learnt from this website and from brother Joseph's writings ...... However, how does one deal with a verse like this of the TORAH OT
"The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled." GENESIS 6:6
...............I think there is so much wrong with this verse ... How can Allah regret a decision He has made such as this??

1. It says marry to companions does this mean remarry with our spouses from earth or does it mean we are married to new non human cretures meaning are houris us or something else
Shalom / peace. If one of your spouse ends up in hell, how are you then supposed to marry them? Obviously....things will be different in the next world......we are created in a form we don't know and our companions may be righteous from earth reformed or a new creation......sorry i just find questions like this that the Qur'an purposely doesn't detail unnecessary and tedious......

Thats my Suggestion how Moses thought that it is fire in distance.Instead it was the sun reflecting in the hanging raindrops on the fruit
Shalom / peace ... Why could there not just be fire that prophet Moses saw? What mental conflict do you have that you are offering another suggestion? Just curious .....
