RESPONSE GIVEN BY JOSEPH ISLAM
[Please contact Joseph Islam for further details of the original thread]My Dear brother [Name Removed]
I do respect your view point

My humble responses to your questions.
So, is it not possible that Allah SWT used two opposite words (salla v/s tawalla) to make meaning clear?Anything is possible my brother. However, in my view given the immediate context and my wider understanding of the terms I retain a differing view.
Second point to note is that ṣaddaqa (accepted the truth) v/s kadhaba (Denied the truth). If argument is of repetition, then how to explain this repetition?
Third point to note is that of word "lākin" (But), which provides the sense that opposite words are used to make meaning clear.In my opinion, the amendment particle 'lakin' in 75:32 provides separation and then the elucidation of the two verbs present in 75:31. I feel that in your proposal, the 'wala salla' is part of the elucidation of the truth (saddaqa) not being accepted. In this case, I feel the 'lakin' would become superfluous, as it is this that separates the elucidatory verbs in 75:32 from 75:31 and not the 'wa' (and) in 75:31. This is why I humbly asserted a repetition in the overall context of the two verses.
You have very rightly cited 6:105 and 17:41 in support of the Quran's usage of multifarious explanation techniques to make the matter clear.
This point is even further ratified in 25:32 where the Quran uses the phrase
'ratalnahu tartila' to describe itself. This clearly denotes the well constructed action of putting together of component parts into one integral whole endowing the complete scripture with an 'airtight' inner consistency devoid of errors.
However, I personally feel that I have made use of the same methodology and have come to a differing conclusion. I am aware that these debates linking to an understanding of 'salah' are well exhausted on the [Name Removed] forums.
Finally, I am aware of both brother Ghulam Parvez's and my dear brother Dr. Shabbir's views on this matter. I respect them both in their own rights, as I do any great thinker or scholar (latter two terms are not necessarily mutually exclusive).
However, I also have my own views as much as you have yours based on our own studies.
With respect,
Your brother ...
