salamu aleikum
sorry at all. i'm posting the whole again. i press the 'post' button without to cancel many errors in the translation.
now i hope it is a little bit better
Verse 74:8 is clearly signalling one event which will bring about the Day of Judgement. The purpose of the 'naqar' is clearly given by the context to bring about this day (74:9). This is clearly not referring to clicks and taps of the keyboard of computers. How have millions of such taps brought about a Day of Judgement? People have been tapping on keyboards for decades
The whole interpretation depends on whether you look at "Jaum" for a 'day', specifically as the day of judgment, or look like as the author tries to explain, as a 'period', or age. We know that Allah used the word oftenly in understanding as a 'period'. ( only a classic example of the creation of the universe in 6 days.)
So, if this 74:8 not point of the day of judgment ,like in this translation, it seems to me justified for two reasons:
First 'naqur' not must haveanything to do with ' the blown into the Sur'. God used several times 'Sur', but here 'naqur' , why?
Second, if the yaum means a period, an era , it seems to me not so far to link this with the computer age
Third, the whole Sura is about the 19th. The phenomenon of the 19 can be examined only with the computer, we have enough examples of countings on hand, who were wrong. Only the computer can count the terms in the Qur'an correctly.
A 'one time event' will trigger the Day of Judgement and I don't necessarily feel these are 'physical' trumpets or 'horns' either. This event will govern the whole Universe and an earthly 'trumpet' is quite a restricted interpretation. Also, there is no mention in the Quran that Angel Israfil will signal the event. These are beliefs based on traditions.
your answer has nothing to do with the question. It is precisely the statement of the interpretation that the term has nothing to do with Sur or the day of judgment has.
With regards the verb 'naqara', in the language of the Arabs it is usually understood as 'to sound' which in this context simply means the signalling of a particular event.
The other meaning is taken up from the lexicon, it can prevail disagreement over the correct meaning
Different terms have been used to describe the calling. If 79:6-7 is seen in light of 39:68, then the term 'rajafa' has been used to signal the event.
yes that's right, but nowhere is said that the verse 74.6 also refers to this event.
iI've looked at the whole Sura again. I have said above that I think the 19 can be fitnah. But now I look at the verse carefully, then Allah clearly says,
"It is a fitnah for the infidels"
Impression that we addressed, then it would have to hot, a fitnah for the believers.
Edip Yuksel has seen the Sura right as a strong indication of the 19, not the hell.
http://www.yuksel.org/e/religion/saqar.htmMy problem with Saqar and the connection with the 19 is then also clear: if Saqar is a mental punishment condition,, in which there are those who are opposed to 19, living in this life and the other, then the following passage 74.43- ff becomes clear:
74.43 they said, we were not of those who hold the prayer
-Saqar as punishment for those who do not pray. We see that in the 'Qur'an alone' is a tendency to deny the prayer altogether. The 19 has shown, however, that prayer is protected by Allah. (I have re-examined with the old compi, with the new I can not download the required program)
74.44 we did not feed the poor
-even here, the zakat is a compulsory charge denied by 'modern muslims.
74,45 we used to participate with those who spoke falsehood.
-speak against the miracle
74.46 we used to deny the day of judgement.
74.48 until the certainty dame to us.
this passage still not clear with this definition, the last sentence may be related to the fact that they believe not to be judged on Judgment Day, because they believe they are right guided .
74.35
Allah refers to 'as one of the biggest'.
because hell can't be a great sign and a reminder (zikr). hell is a punisment and not a reminder, a reminder is anything positive but the hell isn't. i think this passage means really the 19. One may include: good, the earth and the universe are bigger miracles. However,if we found out that there are apparently many coincidences with the 19 in nature (cf. sura al hadid and the bees)?If it turns out according to the latest findings that the universe is really related to the 'coding' 19, then it would be really one of the biggest signs .
