لَنۡ تَنَالُوا الۡبِرَّ حَتّٰى تُنۡفِقُوۡا مِمَّا تُحِبُّوۡنَ  ؕ  وَمَا تُنۡفِقُوۡا مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِهٖ عَلِيۡمٌ‏

You won’t reach the real virtue until                                                                                  You spend out of what you love.                                                                                             And whatever of anything at all you spend                                                                        Then certainly Allah knows it well

 

  • لَنۡ — Lunn — Won’t (= Absolute denial; no; not; not at all; total negation)
  • تَنَالُوا — Ta-naa-loo..(ol) — You reach (= Achieve; attain; get to; obtain; receive; succeed with)
  • الۡبِرَّ — Ol-bir-ra — The virtue (=All acts done in order to please the Almighty God. Doing good deeds; good character; noble actions; piety; righteousness; virtuous conduct in all acts of obedience. A/t/a, the reward from God for good deeds — the Paradise)
  • حَتّٰى — Hut-ta — Until (= By the end of the period or term; till the time; unless)
  • تُنۡفِقُوۡا — Toon-fay-qoo — You spend  *  (= v., pres., In the causes of Allah expend, incur the expense, or invest in. Give in charity. Pay in alms)
  • مِمَّا — Mim-maa — Out of what (= Combination of two words.  The first is  مِنۡ (min) that means ‘among, from or out of the class, category, kind count or several persons or things.’  The second is مَاۤ (maa) that means ‘all that, what, whatever, any time, when whenever.’  So the combination means ‘for what; out of what; concerning, regarding, relative to; thereby)
  • تُحِبُّوۡنَ — To-hib-boo-na — You love (= v., pres., 2nd person., Adore; appreciate; aspire; cherish; covet; crave; deeply desire; enamored with; feel very much attached; find irresistibly captivating, lucrative or luring; fond of; having fun with; like; seeking the attention of; want; wish for)
  • وَ — Wa — And (= Conj., links words, phrases or clauses; additionally; but; also; more over; though; when; while; yet; whereupon)
  • مَاۤ — Maa — Whatever (= 1. All that; what; whatever; whatsoever. 2. Absolutely not; never; no; not all; won’t. Any of the two meanings of the word are suitable as both accurately represent the original context. The scope of the message is widened considerably as either translation is good)
  • تُنۡفِقُوۡا — Toon-fay-qoo — You spend  *  (= Expend; incur the expense of; invest. See تُنۡفِقُوۡا above)
  • مِنۡ — Min — From (= Among, from or out of the class, category, count, kind or several articles, things, persons or phenomenon)

  • هٖ — He — It (= pro., s., m., 3rd person. Refers to the whatever is spent in the cause of the Almighty God to please Him)
  • عَلِيۡمٌ‏ –Alee-m — All-Knowing (= superlative form indicates the greatest, the highest, the most, and highlights that none more than Him knows or is knowing. Informed to the maximum. Has total and perfect knowledge. Has nothing out of sight. Knows all. Nothing whatever is beyond or out of His knowing. Well-Acquainted. Well-Aware. Most Knowledgeable)

 

* Note 003:093.  All worships are due only to the Almighty God and are a matter between Him and His creature man. Indeed all worships inherently must be practiced without any pressure, freely, willingly, voluntarily. But many translations singled out the worship of spending in Allah’s cause as a thing to be imposed. Certain acts can be state-enforced temporal obligations disobeying  which could entail punishments. Paying tax or facing consequences as a violator may be justified  but that really is no act of worship. Clergy-imposed levy and mafia-style forcible extractions have  little semblance with a real worship. Coercive collections with the force of law is hardly what this verse mandated as the righteousness. The two are separated by a lighted big wide highway and not just with a thin red-line of difference.

Acts of worships contemplated by the types of this verse are best left in the hands of God who knows everything and must not handed over to the blind justice under the State laws or total blindness under the Mullah rules.

** Note 002:218a. Mullah coined the theory that when a Moslem renounced Islam he must be put to death immediately. An instantaneous public lynching of anyone who recanted Islam to enter another Faith even before the State took action is a part of the Moslem history.

Common sense dictates that if a person merits execution for leaving Islam, the adherents of other Faiths have equal right to kill anyone who leaves their religion to enter Islam. That will end the evangelical spread of Islam by conversions which almost every Moslem believes.

A State-enforced death penalty for renouncing Islam is contrary to several provisions of the Holy Qor-aan. Freedom of religion and worship is a part of Islam. There is no compulsion in the matters of religion (002:257). Anyone can pursue any religion he deems fit (109:003 to 007).

God’s will established by verses 002:218, 003:087 to 003:092, and 003:107 categorically contradicts Mullah’s Modifications that entail death penalty for renouncing Islam. Those who abandon Islam suffer other after-effects mentioned in aforesaid verses. But Islam definitely does not mandate or even allow the execution of a convert from Islam to any other religion as a death penalty enforced by the State or public-lynching by the vigilantes.

The irresponsible, irreligious and inhumane Mullah’s Modification of Islam in the form of a death penalty for exiting Islam is one humongous misrepresentation of Islam.

  • اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ — Uj-ma-een — Altogether  *   (= All; all together; altogether; all of them; combined)

 

* Note 003:088. A broad and more appropriate is the translation as set above: The curse of Allah and the angels and the people altogether, or ‘All together‘ as M Zafrulla Khan and M Muhammad Ali put it, or ‘combined’ as M Pickhall put it.

However, a much narrower meaning appear in saying that ‘the curse of Allah, the angels, and all men; under it they shall abide forever”N J Dawood.

Superficially the difference between two translations appears very trivial but distinction in meanings is real. The translation of   اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ     (Uj-ma-een = Altogether or combined) covers all those stated in the verse, but its translation of ‘all men’ narrows it tremendously to only people.

Furthermore, the addition of the word ‘forever’ has conveyed a concept which is contrary to Islam as discussed under 002:040.

Such differences in translations are the first step of difference in opinion that many years and centuries — kings and kingdoms — later has almost always resulted in establishing new sects in Islam as shown in Commentaries titled as Sect Formation and Sect Recognition.

** Note 002:218a. Mullah coined the theory that when a Moslem renounced Islam he must be put to death immediately. An instantaneous public lynching of anyone who recanted Islam to enter another Faith even before the State took action is a part of the Moslem history.

Common sense dictates that if a person merits execution for leaving Islam, the adherents of other Faiths have equal right to kill anyone who leaves their religion to enter Islam. That will end the evangelical spread of Islam by conversions which almost every Moslem believes.

A State-enforced death penalty for renouncing Islam is contrary to several provisions of the Holy Qor-aan. Freedom of religion and worship is a part of Islam. There is no compulsion in the matters of religion (002:257). Anyone can pursue any religion he deems fit (109:003 to 007).

God’s will established by verses 002:218, 003:087 to 003:092, and 003:107 categorically contradicts Mullah’s Modifications that entail death penalty for renouncing Islam. Those who abandon Islam suffer other after-effects mentioned in aforesaid verses. But Islam definitely does not mandate or even allow the execution of a convert from Islam to any other religion as a death penalty enforced by the State or public-lynching by the vigilantes.

The irresponsible, irreligious and inhumane Mullah’s Modification of Islam in the form of a death penalty for exiting Islam is one humongous misrepresentation of Islam.

* Note. 003:087. The question in this verse is based upon three factual situations which some people have experienced.

  1. They disbelieved after their disbelief.
  2. They saw the absolutely right messenger.
  3. They witnessed clear signs that came to them

The question then asked is — based upon how human beings conduct with each other — how could, should or would Allah put on proper path such persistent wrongdoers?

The answer to the question is then presented in the next verse (003:088) and thoroughly explained in verses 003:089 to 003:092 and 002:218. The answer destroys an important theory which Moslem clergy has inserted in Islam by a pure fabrication. discussed in our Commentary titled as MULLAH’S Modifications are NOT the True Teachings of Islam

Islam – 208 – Translations With Different Words

ISLAM – 208

 

Translations With Different Words

 

The Holy Qor-aan has an unchanged text. To understand it the Words Matter. Its Translation with Different Words makes a huge difference in what those words actually mean and convey.

 

The Almighty God has guaranteed a better comprehension of the Holy Qor-aan to anyone who studies it. It is one sure way to understand His message better, fuller. There is no substitute for it.

 

At places the Holy Qor-aan conveys similar message by using two different words [003:082].

  • The word نَّبِيّٖ — from the root   ن ب ا  which means to inform or introduce a new news — refers to a person who has been set up by the Almighty God to give the Mankind some information or news that the people did not know before.
  • The word رَسُوۡلٌ — from the root ر  س  ل which means to send a message or messenger — refers to a person who has been sent by the Almighty God to give the Mankind some information or news that the people did not know before.
  • Both the words also appear in one verse [003:082].They have been translated variously as Apostle, Messenger; Prophet, Saint and Sage.

 

At places the Holy Qor-aan provides guidance for different situations by using the same word or set of words [002:039, 006:165]. The Note 002:028 shows how the translation of just one word فِىۡ  as ‘in, inside and/or on’ changes the scope and the breadth of the original message.

 

At places the Holy Qor-aan has used phrases and colloquial expressions. The message in such combination of words changes, often grossly twisted, if an individual word is translated literally. Some authors justified their different translations by means of capitalizing or hyphenating the same set of words such as shown in 064:007.

 

Then some translators have used different words to express that they in their own minds thought was stated or intended to be the message in its text. One example is 003:162 where practically no two translators have used the same words to describe the phenomenon Divines Don’t Defraud.

 

Note 002:063 shows examples of how some authors assigned different meanings to the original text by using numerous words of their own choice. Our Commentaries regarding the translations by Making Additions and Making Subtractions amplify this phenomenon further.

 

And another very common practice is the use of he-said-you-said-I-said technique. That way the talkers’ views invariably indoctrinate the hearer. It is so very easy to just sit and hear. The visible recognition by the length of such association provides worldly benefits to both givers and takers. Our Commentary Mullah’s Modifications of Islam tell-tale this aspect

 

Our commentaries like Sect Formation and Sect Recognition highlight how so many different schools of thought have mushroomed in Islam. It all starts and ends with the choice of words.

Mullah’s Modifications are NOT the True Teachings of Islam (304)

Islaam – 304

 

MULLAH’S Modifications are NOT the True Teachings of Islam

 

If there is one word to describe what has damaged the name and reputation of Islam the most, the answer is Mullah. No wonder the Holy Prophet s.a.w had himself labeled those of the 14th century as the Worst Of The Creatures. It is practically impossible to summarize the humongous damage that Mullah has done to Islam as its Clergy.

 

 

  • The fact that the Holy Prophet a.w became the Best Exemplar although he attended no school enabled Mullah to promote illiteracy among Moslems, steer ignorant adherents to follow him blindly, and install himself as the custodian of Islam. With the theories such as Abrogation he expelled out of Islam the verses of the Holy Qor-aan that he was unable to explain to inquisitive mind, the Commands and Prohibitions he did not like. He labeled some verses as the Nasihk (Canceller) and the others as Munsukh (Cancelled). The issue was judicially examined by the West Pakistan High Court that highlighted it as follows.

“Generally accepted view is that (9:5) abrogated the earlier verses revealed in Mecca which permitted the killing of kuffar only in self defense. As against this the Ahmadis believe that no verse of the Qur’an was abrogated by another verse … that both sets of verses have different scopes and can stand together … that the doctrine of Nasikh and Munsukh is opposed to the belief in the existence of an original scripture” (pp 223-224). http://trueteachingsofislam.com/abrogation-theory/.

 

  • Mullah started the process of coining, fabricating and minting newer theories very early in Islam. Some were genuine that laid foundation for an honest academic extrapolation like Ijtehaad. Some were innocent Difference Of Opinion. But wherever Mullah could, he abused them. http://trueteachingsofislam.com/islam-105-difference-of-opinion/

 

  • Mullah’s fabrications were largely created by the likes of Abdullah ibn Saba. Allegedly of Jewish origin he had preceded his conversion to Islam by saying that he would sow such seeds of dissent that Moslems would never again get together as a single body that he thought had destroyed his ancestry in Madina. Wickipedia records “Shia writers deny Ibn Saba’s historical existence to rid Shia’ism of the accusation by Sunni writers that Shia’ism is originally based on Judaic doctrines.” Apparently that process still continues. http://trueteachingsofislam.com/islam-111-history-of-add-ons-in-islam/

 

  • The basic Moslem worships commonly known as 5-Pillars of Islam are (1) professing God’ Unity every moment one lived, (2) praying in congregations five times every day, (3) properly fasting for a month every year, (4) performing pilgrimage once in life time, and (5) purifying earnings by paying a part thereof whenever they were made whether daily, weekly, monthly or seasonally like at harvest time. These are personal acts done by man to please his God. Realizing that few Moslems would totally deny them as worships, Mullah did the next thing he could do. He professed, preached and propagated until he succeeded in twisting these worships into state-enforced obligations. He installed himself as the watch to command people to perform them but only in the form he approved.  http://trueteachingsofislam.com/islam-104-the-5-acts-of-worship-pillars-of-islam/

 

  • A Moslem proposed Abu Bakr, r.u., after the Holy Prophet Mohammed a.w had passed away on June 8, 632 AD as the first Khaleefah. Those present took the oath of allegiance, the baiyah and caliphate (Khelaafut) started. Later the kings of the Omuyyah dynasty and then the Abasite dynasty took on the title Khaleefa. Mullah obliged the kings by clothing their Kheelafut with the Divinity (as if Appointed By God For Life). Then he sprinkled holy water on the Law of Primogeniture to pass the Kheelafut or Kinghood to the oldest of the sons. And he has continued strengthening the Caliphate with other rule-making powers including the setting up of Electoral College and the qualifications of Electors. Latest example of Mullah’s Finished Product as of today is ISIS.  http://trueteachingsofislam.com/law-of-succession-the-caliphate/

 

  • The ISIS in Iraq is hardly practicing Islam. Its ruling junta is trying to secure for itself the former glories of Moslem kings from Spain to the Far East and all that lay in the middle. A scholarly physician recently said that Khaleefah’s election greatly resembled that of a Pope by Christian Cardinals and Archbishops. Indeed “There was no fixed process for papal selection before 1059” … when “popes were often selected with substantial secular involvement” … until “the promulgation of In nomine Domini (1059)” when the suffrage was limited to the College of Cardinals. “Papal elections since 1276” … follow a set of rules and procedures developed in Ubi periculum (1274)” – (Wickipedia).

 

 

  • Mullah’s Modifications entail death penalty for renouncing Islam. History has a record of Mullah-decrees (Futwas) inciting murders of Moslems who changed faith. The victim was often killed by instantaneous public lynching even before the State moved. Common sense is that if a person merits execution for leaving Islam, then adherents of other faiths have equal right to kill one who leaves their Faith to enter Islam. Mullah has contradicted several provisions of the Holy Qor-aan relative to the freedom of worship. Islam imposes no compulsion in the matters of religion (002:257). Anyone can pursue any religion he deems fit (109:003 to 007). Mullah flouts categorically the clear mandate in the verses 002:218, 003:091 and 003:092. http://trueteachingsofislam.com/002:218

 

  • Mullah’s Modifications include substantial differences in the translations of the Holy Qor-aan. One example is the translation of two words مُتَوَفِّيۡ and رَافِعُ (003:056). The issue funneled in such translations channeled into strong opinions. It has split the world of Islam with the issue of Wafaat-e-Massih or the Death of Jesus on the cross. It has caused the murders of untold number of Moslems by Moslems in past several centuries. Some translators also contributed to it inadvertently because they were foreigners to the Arabic and only edited earlier translations in the European languages. But Mullah gets the full discredit for massive confusion he created through his unfortunate contradictory translations. http://trueteachingsofislam.com/003:056/
