Salaam.

Why go so far?

If I stand and stretch both my hands sideways, it is like a cross.

Do such things count, when we are dealing with matters that count?

Salam,
The Quran and the Bible are in the matter of the crucifixion in Opposition.Literally we will not find an Agreement so i tried this way .And also the Quran is telling us that the meaning of some verses arent meant word to word.

Salam,
Thank you for you quick answer.
That the Beginnig of Sura 9 is not starting with this formula is no Proof that this is part of the divinely words.I have heard about Northafrican Quransamples who have no "Basmala"at the beginning of each chapter.
What about the oldest Quran how is it beginning?

When a Revalation came down to the Prophet in fractions,for example a part was revealed in Mecca an another part in Medina .Did he recited to the People the words,by putting a distinction by each Part of it or did he always use the Basmala as a formula?

In Sura27 we get to know that Prophet Salomo(php) is sending a Letter with this Formula which is no Revelation rather he adresses the People of Saba to capitulate.

Any Secondary Source for the Usage of Introductions in Speech/letters in ancient Arabia?

Best regards

Ps.:Sorry for my writings ,English is not my mothertongue.

What i wanted to say is that the basmalh in the letter is not a Revelation on Salomo(pbuh)but rather an introduction.Of course it is a Revelation on Prophet Muhamed(pbuh).
wa salam

Salaam Sidar,
Well actually there two chapters without an introduction of the Basmalah.If you look in most Quranic books sura al-fatiha has no introduction of the basmalah,its numeration makes it part of the chapter in contrary to the other suras where the basmalah is not part as vers number 1.
But there are hadiths which tell that the basmalah is no part of the Quran at all

Anas ibn Malik (Allah be well pleased with him) said, 

I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace), Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, and ‘Uthman, and they opened with "al-Hamdu li Llahi Rabbi l-‘Alamin,"not mentioning "Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim" at the first of the recital or the last of it [and in another version, "I didn’t hear any of them recite ‘Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim’"] (Muslim, 1.299).
The question is:how can we now that the form of quran today is the same like in the early hours of compilation,because there numerous ahdith which say this chapter was once longer or hadith about missing verses.

best regards

Salam,
coming to the end of this thread ffrom my side ,i had to consider the use of Tabarruk of some Islamic sects.They use the shape of the sandals to get Blessings,support,healing or they just want to honour the Prophet,through the hanging of the Na´layn.You can buy even jewellery in the shape of the Na´l to put on your clothes or as a ring on you finger,there are a couple of sandals in the Blue Mosque in Turkey they supposed to be the original sandals of the Prophet.     

One of the Argument to legitimate the Nalayn is the Miraj of the Prophet where he was aloud to let his sandals on while Prophet Musa instead had to put them of when he entered the Valley of Taha.And they bring up the ayat where we should hold the remebrence of the Prophet up.

wa salam

Salam Ismail,

Thanks,i agree with you Ismail the way we walk our demeanour is important.
In the sura "al-Isra"after couting forbidden deeds and Behaviour which is hatefull in the eye of our creator,he is giving instructions of  proper ways and again we find the way we should walk.

(35) (O man), follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge. Lo! the hearing and the sight and the heart - of each of these it will be asked. (36) And walk not in the earth exultant. Lo! thou canst not rend the earth, nor canst thou stretch to the height of the hills. (37) The evil of all that is hateful in the sight of thy Lord.

Just for Information,the front of the feet is connected with a lot of our organs,one of them is the heart.Most shoes forces us to walk on heels,we have to think about it.

Through the statement of the Quran to walk modest ,i came to see that the Prophet Muhamed(pbuh)i described in a speedy walk.
For example:
Abu Huraira in Tirmidih reports:I did not see anyone walk faster than him, as is the earth folded for him.
If seen Muslims walking like in the hadith stated first i thought they have to hurry for a date till i heard from this Ahadith of his walk.

Salaam.

In a moderate manner. Neither jaunty and stylish and disrespectful, nor deliberately dull and lifeless.

The middle (root) letter is the 14th letter of the Arabic Alphabet.

Regards,
A. Ismail Sait.

Sorry for the mistake qaf-sad-dal
thank you for the translation but i was thinking of a root-translation like Joseph Islam uses in his articles.I want to know if theres is a connection between walk and speech in the arabic root,because in the anatomie of the human body the nervetract of walking and talking is the same.

Salaam to all,
I came to an ayat in the Surat Luqman which grasp my interest  how to walk.

(١٧) وَلَا تُصَعِّرۡ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَحًا‌ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخۡتَالٍ۬ فَخُورٍ۬ (١٨) وَٱقۡصِدۡ فِى مَشۡيِكَ وَٱغۡضُضۡ مِن صَوۡتِكَ‌ۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ ٱلۡأَصۡوَٲتِ لَصَوۡتُ ٱلۡحَمِيرِ
(17) Turn not thy cheek in scorn toward folk, nor walk with pertness in the land. Lo! Allah loveth not each braggart boaster. (18) Be modest in thy bearing and subdue thy voice. Lo! the harshest of all voices is the voice of the ass.

Can somebody translate the arabic word "modest" i think the root is qaf-sin-dal if im not mistaken.

Thank you in advance

It doesn´t matter for me either if someone recite it with or without the Basmala but for some People i think life would be more relaxt to know that the Basmala is not part of the Book.There are People who wanted to convince me that the Quran has 6666 Ayats but thats not correct .

Salam to all,

I don´t know if you have discussed this Topic about the opening Verses of each chapter.My question is do the Basmala belong to the Revelation or does it has the purpose to indicate the beginning or ending of a Chapter.
I know that the Maliki-Madhab do not recognize it as part of the Srcipture hence loud prayer is done without it otherwise the Prayer is not valid according to most of Maliki Scholars.

I came to this site trough a research of the second coming of Christ.I was really beliving in his second coming but there were too many contradictions within the hadithcorpus and in the Description of Jesus coming by christianity and Islam.

This site is an eyeopener, thanks.
