Welcome to the True Teachings of Islam

The Holy Qor-aan is a universal message that contains and exhorts only the Truth

Accurate translations of the Holy Qor-aan – ignored by many who wrote in British English – was our prime concern as we did it in American English that the world understands.

27% [Parts 1 to 7 and #30, or over 1700 verses] of the Holy Qor-aan is now on this site

About 160 Commentaries extrapolating critical issues like Jihad are also published

This site, Why is it important

 

Mankind has always faced significant humanistic challenges in its history.  Islam [spelled also as Islaam and Isslaam], on the other hand, has taught total humanism—to be a humble human not faking or making gods, to be a good child, sibling, spouse, parent, friend and member of human family, to be spiritually enlightened, to genuinely respect the dignity of other faiths, to coexist with other non-human creatures on earth, to attain peace within and provide peace all around, and to invite to God with wise ways and excellent exhortation by prettiest possible presentations (016:126). The Holy Qor-aan started its revelation with a simple direction to the Holy Prophet Mohammad s.a.w., “Read with the name of your God who created you” (096:001).

Translating any work in a different language with its own rules of grammar is not easy. Creativity that God gave to man has ‘allegedly’ been abused by many translators, dictators, generals and kings to translate, interpret and extrapolate the scriptures for whatever reasons to get around the dictated divine rules.  ‘Lost in translation’ is a fact. Many critics have dishonestly described the original or downright twisted it in bad-faith. Some translations are honest innocent conversions. We also risk challenges for whatever we say on this site. But our mission is clear, simple and straightforward.

Every single word in our English translation and transliteration is written by us. So please pray that we make all our “entries and exits of a truthful person” (017:081). We intend to “present the truth” (017:082), the whole truth and nothing but the truth. As a moderate entity we will guide fellow-men and be guided by the Messenger (002:144). Our mission is to share in humility all teachings of the Holy Qor-aan with everyone. We write our Commentaries and invite others to participate in such conversations.

Those not-yet-Moslems can get straightforward access and direct links to the true teachings of Islam. Those already Moslems but divided in hundreds of schools and sects can find, compare and evaluate what they practice, preach or profess by labeling it Islam with the originals of the Commandments and Prohibitions. After all the Holy Qor-aan came for all men to get them out of the darkness to the light (014-002). We use American English spellings, phonetic pronunciation and expressions since today that is the most predominant language spoken and understood around the world. And God never sent a messenger except with the tongue of his people to clearly explain His message (014-005).

 دَعَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ – Call all to God – 041:034

(===)

Verses of the Holy Qor-aan are quoted on this site with the numbers, the first set of three being the number of Soorah (Chapter) followed by the last set of three being the number of the verse. The numbers include بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ‏‏ as the verse #1 in every Soorah except the Soorah #9. The original Arabic word is shown first, or in Col #1. The phonetic transliteration in English is shown next, or in Col #2, and is based upon words commonly pronounced like bat, cat, sat → fate, gate, hate → bait, trait → bay, nay, say → be, he, she → bet, pet, wet → bit, fit, sit → cot, dot, rot → boot, hoot, root → bout, rout → but, cut, hut, ultimatum. The English equivalent to the Arabic words (shown first, or in Col #1) are provided next, or in Col #3. Some other alternates in English used in other translations are given last, or in Col #4.

The Holy Qor-aan                                       001:001                                   ○بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ‏‏

Bis-mil  laa-hir  rah-maa-nir  ra-hee-m

With the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful I begin.

(Beginning, commencing, starting)

  • بِ — Bay … (is) — With (= The best translation of the word بِ is ‘with’)
  • سۡمِ — Ism … (il) — The name of (= The way to be addressed or called)
  • اللهِ — Laa-hay … (ir) — Allah (= The Almighty God; the One Only worthy of worship)
  • الرَّحۡمٰنِ — Rah-maa-n … (ir) — The Most Beneficent (= adj., Compassionate. Gracious. None more  than Him benefits. As n: The One Who fully, totally and wholly benefits all, to the maximum without any  condition, limitation or restriction. The Greatest and Highest Benefactor Who wills goodness and mercy to all His creation)
  • الرَّحِيۡمِ — Ra-heem — The Most Merciful (= adj., superlative form indicates the Greatest Merciful. Merciful Forever. The word floodlights that none more than Him shows kindness and mercy, again and again continually, incessantly and indefinitely like perpetually incoming ocean waves)

            ** Note: 001:001. This verse was revealed 114 times. It is the First (1st) in 113 of the 114 Chapters (Soorah) of the Holy Qor-aan. It’s not the 1st verse of Chapter 9 but has appeared twice in Chapter 27 — once as its 1st and again as its 31st (027:031).

This verse is numbered 1st (#001) of a Soorah on this site like many translators have done. Our numbering of verses differs from those who have ignored numbering the aforesaid as 1st.

A Hadeeth of the Holy Prophet s.a.w) lists 99 Names of Allah originated from the Holy Qor-aan and any Name not shown there but on the list is deduced from a verb or noun used there.

This verse names two Attributes of the Almighty God (059:025). This site provides the principal characteristics of Attributes concisely, but others may have verbalized them differently.

Translators have magnified the ordinary meanings of a word of an Attribute by using its superlative form and often adding prefixes like All, Ever, Forever, Most, Very, Well, etc.

For example, an Attribute in verse 004:111 has been translated as follows.                  * ‘Merciful’ by 5 authors: Maulana Muhammad Ali, Maulawi Sher Ali, Malik Ghulam                                     Farid, Marmaduke Pickthall and N J Dawood.                                                * Most Merciful’ by 3 authors: Abdulla Yusuf Ali, M Muhsin Khan and Taqi-ud-Din.              * Ever Merciful’ by 2 authors: Muhammad Zafrulla Khan and Amatul Rahman Omar.          * ‘All-compassionate’ by 1 author: John Arberry.                                                                              * ‘All-Merciful’ by 1 author: Dr Ahmad Zidan.

Our Translation when compared with other works – printed, published and sold in the market — shows minor to major differences like the above in verses including 004:105.

Our Commentaries like Translations with Additions or Subtractions, Translations with Author’s Whims, Translations with Different Words, Translations with Inaccuracies and others furnish analytical, factual, grammatical and other intriguing critiques on some contents

Tr – Azam Ali, an Ahmadi Moslem – Ch – 21 – Universal Rules

Posted on November 17, 2024 by Abid

Azam Ali, an Ahmadi Moslem

Chapter Twenty-One

Universal Rules

            Following are some of the Rules of Universal Application laid down in the Holy Qor-aan. Some are set down as prayers. I saw my father practice them all the time. Some he did when an occasion arose. Others I was not around to physically see a rule followed but we enjoyed their fruits every day, everywhere, even thousands of miles away in various countries and different continents.

002:129           Rub-ba  naa  wa-uj-ul  naa  moos-lay-mai-na  la  ka  wa  min                                                    zoo-ree-ya-tay  naa  oom-ma-ton  mos-lay-ma-taun  la  ka = Please God!                              Make my family obedient to You and raise among them a whole big nation                              of those who are Obedient to You.

Tr – Azam Ali, an Ahmadi Moslem – Ch – 09 – Illustrations

Posted on November 14, 2024 by Abid

Azam Ali, Ahmadi Moslem

Chapter 09 – Illustrations

                Illustrations of Rules of Universal Application

            The Holy Qor-aan is an embodiment of Directions. Some authors have divided them into Commandments and Prohibitions like that was done by some translators of other Scriptures. This sight treats them as Rules of Universal Application because obeying or violating those rules invariably produces the foretold consequences.

The application of these rules keeps providing illustrations in all places, in all scenarios. Some materialize on personal levels of individuals. Some occur on a much wider scale on community or national levels.

Some of those rules of universal application spelled out in the Holy Qor-aan are that I personally saw Abba Ji following them all our lives as stated in Tr – Azam Ali, an Ahmadi Moslem – Ch – 20 – Universal Rules. His life of obeying those rules extended over 80 years. It provided an untold number of illustrations in the following and many other arenas.

  • Remembering Allah at every step in his life – 013:029
  • Showing by his conduct that he was commanded to be the best of the Obedient and not be of the Idolaters – 006:015
  • Showing by his conduct that he was commanded to be the best of the Obedient who did not recognize any partner of the Almighty God – 006:164
  • Showing by his conduct that he was commanded to be among Believers – 010:105
  • Following the Best Exemplar – 033:022
  • Praying far beyond the Five daily prayers the Ish-raaq and Ta-huj-jaud – 017:079
  • Being aware of and praying about the weakening of body – 036:069
  • Being congruent in saying and doing the same thing – 061:003
  • Never telling others what he didn’t do himself – 061:004
  • Always praying before eating and finishing food – 026:080
  • Always seeking increase in knowledge – 020:115
  • Always seeking his entries and exits as a Truthful person – 017:081.
  • Always praying before travelling for safe journey– 011: 042
  • Always praying for recovery from illness. Initially I didn’t understand why he was praying for himself so fervently when in good health. Now I understand. – 026:081
  • Raising family with the same values with which he lived — 002:129
  • Administering judgeship – 004:059
  • Never fearing death that was inevitable and just a Transition to a better everlasting life — 003:186, 021:036, 029:058 and 026:082

Father often did things instinctively. In the initial stages of course, he must have tried hard, like memorizing long portions of the Holy Qor-aan particularly where the Almighty God has perceptualized prayers offered by the past Prophets. But he was so used to them by the time he got so many of us that he did them all the time as our example to follow.

Father’s life was witnessing himself and drawing others’ attention to similarly innumerable illustrations that precipitated results when those rules were followed or violated. Pleasant memories were left when those rules were followed. The opposite was equally true  and he quoted illustrations when the rules were disobeyed and untoward consequences ensued.

Bhutto

One example that everybody saw with their own eyes was Zulifqar Ali Bhutto. He ruled Pakistan as a dictator with an iron-fist dressed up to look like a genuine democracy. He got his way by greasing the cooperation of corrupt clergy and perpetually hungry politicians.

Father had a clear, candid and convincing opinion about their political motives and actions. He lamented about Bhutto’s alliance with clergy and atrocities they committed as the Government. Father expressed resentment in the High Court Bar against such misdeeds

Law recognizes a process known as eminent domain. It allows the government to acquire private property for community benefit by paying fair market value to its owner. Three elements must exist for the legal process to be triggered.

  • Firstly, it must relate to land which means any property whether developed or not.
  • Secondly, it is needed for the larger good of the public.
  • Thirdly, fair market value is paid to the landowner whose property was taken.

Corrupt governments in uncivilized countries have abused the law of eminent domain to usurp developed properties. They snatch away income-producing, productive or developed property from its owner to benefit one of their cronies appointed as a hired employee to run, operate and control it.

Bhutto was a law graduate who knew how to abuse a legal process by dressing it to look like it was under the law. He labelled his highhandedness with the patriotic sounding noble process of Nationalization. His crooks and thugs took over other businesses without compensating their owners. They nationalized Rice Husking factories.

After years of hard work my younger brother had bought a small piece of land and put machinery there to operate his small business as a rice husker. The Bhutto regime nationalized his rice husking business, land and factory without compensation and disallowing any legal recourse to impugn such a high-handed illegality.

  • They nationalized rice husking factories.
  • They paid little or no compensation.
  • They totally outlawed all judicial remedies which citizens ordinarily had.

One day my brother was a small businessman with his own business raising a family and paying bills. Next day he had no job, no work and no money. And worst of all, he had no judicial remedy since any legal recourse had been outlawed by the very corrupt Bhutto.

Father had been a Judge. All his life he had fairly provided justice to others and judicially struck down injustices of all kinds. He knew what eminent domain meant. He was highly disturbed by the brazen day-light robbery by Bhutto junta.

And then he saw the worst kind of abuse of the process of law by manufacturing the commission of lawless and at the same time ousting any recourse to law to seek any correction. This damage to his son hurt Father beyond words. He often said, “What can the people do when the government itself becomes the oppressor.”

Bhutto regime amended the Pakistan Constitution on September 7, 1974, and declared Ahmadis as non-Muslim. Millions of them were labelled as a minority. Sharp teeth were later sown into legal processes that ensued. For instance, their greeting us-sa-laa-mo-alai-koom (peace on you) was made punishable with three years’ imprisonment under the Pakistan Penal Code. Other examples of similar harsh legislation are detailed elsewhere on this site.

Indeed, things like this happen when the coming of divine punishment has become inevitable. The above nationalization was on Father’s mind when on December 26, 1974, Father and I were at the end of the Annual Conference in Rabwah. Father took me with him to meet Khaleefatool-Massih III r.a. of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam.

During the meeting Father said that such grave injustices generated Bud Doaa (invoking curses) from the core of citizens’ hearts against their own government. The Khaleefa knew the effectiveness of Father’s prayers and quickly said, “Chaudhry Sahib, don’t wish bad for Bhutto. He needs our prayers.”

Father bowed in silence. But the Rule of Universal Application had been violated. It had been ordained to be avenged, as we humans conclude, very severely.

Wa  ka  zaa-lay-ka  ja-ul  naa  fee  kool-lay  qur-ya-tin                                                              Aa-kaa-bay-ra  mooj-ray-mee  haa  lay  yum-ko-roo  fee  haa                                                Wa  maa  yaum-ko-roo-na  il-laa  bay  un-fo-say  him                                                                Wa  maa  yaush-o-roo-n                                             سُوۡرَةُ الاٴنعَام – Ch:006, Verse 124

And like this We made in every town                                                                                    Its wrongdoers the leaders for scheming in it.                                                                  And they do not plan except with themselves                                                                    And they do not realize.                                                                            006:124

The deep-rooted hurts in the hearts of so many God-fearing people are not dissolved by the mere words spoken kindly by their worldly or even spiritual leaders. The Bhutto regime for years had crushed its own citizenry. Someone somewhere saw it all.

It was no surprise to us when Father dreamt that a pig climbed a few steps up on a ladder and then fell flat on his back with all four legs raised like a dead stray mutt. Father right away interpreted this dream to mean that Bhutto’s end was near, and in death he would be disowned, discarded and dishonored like a pig or stray dog.

Not too long after this dream, this formidable dictator of Pakistan was imprisoned, tried for scheming and causing an opponent’s murder in the first degree, convicted, and sentenced to be hung by the neck till dead.

Bhutto was finally executed by hanging. Reading the details of Bhutto’s execution illustrated the fate perpetually sketched in the Holy Qor-aan for all wrongdoers.

Yoe-ra-fo  ol-mooj-ray-moo-na  bay  see-maa  hoom                                                                    Fa   yoe-kha-zo   bay  in-na-waa-see  wa  ul-uq-daam                                                                                                                                                       سُوۡرَةُ الرَّحمٰن – Ch: 055, Verse 042                   

The criminals would be recognized by their marks                                                      Then they will be caught by the forelocks and feet.                      055:042

The Judicial records show that Attorney Ahmed Raza was the intended victim. His car was sprayed with a machine-gun burst. Due to a last-minute change his father Nawab Ahmed Khan drove the car and died, while Ahmed Raza who sat in the front seat got saved.

A book titled Last 323 Days is available on the market. Its link on-line is as follows.                    https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1993/10/04/bhuttos-fatefulmoment                         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3BrhlvS2aM

The book was written by the Military commander Col Rafiuddin. He had been commanded to supervise Bhutto’s execution. He wrote that Bhutto was alert and in good health but feigned faintness as a last maneuver to avoid execution. He was carried by the guards by head, hands and feet to the execution chamber – just as outlined above.

The one who got credit for inflicting on Bhutto humiliating death was his own favorite army General Zia-ul-Haq whom Bhutto had brought forward and promoted – allegedly out of line, seniority and merit – with the sole qualification that the General used army’s muscle to implement nefarious designs which the scheming mind of Bhutto conjured up.

But General Zia-ul-Haq who became an instrument to inflict the punishment on the violator Bhutto, himself became the perpetrator of adding further teeth to the bite that Bhutto had originally sunk into the Ahmadiyya body fourteen (14) years ago on September 7, 1974.

Eventually on August 17, 1988, the military plane in which General Zia-ul-Haq was flying with an American diplomat and 27 others exploded soon after taking off. Even an investigation by Governments failed to find and nail who had planted, detonated and exploded the Air Force plane. An unsolved mystery of 21st Century? Who knows?

He said, “What stopped you that you won’t submit when I ordered you.”            He (Satan) said, “I am better than him (Adam).                                                        You created me from fire, and you created him (man) clay.”

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنٰكُمۡ ثُمَّ صَوَّرۡنٰكُمۡ ثُمَّ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةِ اسۡجُدُوۡا لِاٰدَمَ‌ ۖ  فَسَجَدُوۡۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبۡلِيۡسَؕ لَمۡ يَكُنۡ مِّنَ السّٰجِدِيۡنَ

And We most certainly created you.                                                                              Then We gave you good looks.                                                                                          Then We said to the angels, “Submit to Adam.”                                                                They all submitted except Iblis.                                                                                            He had not been among the submissive.

  •  اسۡجُدُوۡا — Iss-jo-doo — Submit (= v., pres., pl., 2nd person. Be submissive; bow; follow; obey; make obeisance. Literal translation as ‘prostrate’ is not appropriate here because the Almighty God does not order anyone to ‘prostrate’ to anyone else except to ‘Himself.’ A/t/a, ‘Bow down,’ ‘make submission,’ ‘Fall ye prostrate,’ ‘Prostrate yourselves’ and ‘Prostrate yourself’)
  • لِ — Lay — To (= For the benefit or purpose; with intent to; with the  object of; towards. A/t/a, ‘before’ and ‘to’)

  • مِّنَ — May-na … (us) — Among (= Among, from or out of the class or category of many articles, counts, kinds, things, persons or phenomenon. A/t/a, ‘of’)
  • السّٰجِدِيۡنَ — Saa-jay-dee-n — The submissive (= n., pl., Humble. Obedient. Those who bow, prostrate and live in a lowly fashion, obediently and reverently, not arrogantly or boastfully.

  • Iblis said he was better since GOD made him from Fire and made Man from mud.
  • GOD told Iblis to get out of there because he was then on dishonored and discarded.
  • Iblis requested for allowance till the Resurrection.
  • GOD allowed that.
  • Iblis argued that GOD had misled him and so retaliatorily he would mislead man from his front and back, right and left so that many men would turn ungrateful.
  • GOD said that He would fill the hell with Satan and all those who had followed him.

وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَازِيۡنُهٗ فَاُولٰۤٮِٕكَ الَّذِيۡنَ خَسِرُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ بِمَا كَانُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَظۡلِمُوۡنَ

 

Wa  mun  khauf-fut  ma-waa-zee-no  hoo                                                                                          Fa  oo-laa-aiy-ka  ul-la-zee-na  kha-say-roo  un-fo-sa  hoom                                                Bay  maa  kaa-noo  bay  aa-yaa-tay  naa  yauz-lay-moo-n

           

And whoever lightened his scales                                                                                      Then they are those who have lost themselves                                                                  Because they have been wronging Our Sign.

 

                 The text in the following five (5) words in verse 007:010 and 023:104,                    and also in verse 101:009 which has the word اَمَّا in it additionally.

But the noun and verb in future or present tense as in ‘will be light,’ ‘are light,’ ‘are light (having no good deeds),’ ‘are light (and their deeds of little account)’ and ‘is light’ have not translated the verb in the past tense that the Holy Qor-aan has used)
  • مَوَٲزِينُ — Ma-waa-zee-no — Scales (= n., pl., Pans of a balance. A/t/a, ‘good deeds,’ ‘scales’ and ‘scales are.’ But the single as in ‘scale will be’ and ‘scale is’ is no good translation of the plural that the Holy Qor-aan has in its text)
  • هٗ — Hoo — His (= pro., s., m., 3rd person. Refers to the person who made his scales light. A/t/a, ‘whose’)
  • فَ — Fa — Then (= After all this; at the end; consequently. See فَ  above)

  • خَسِرُوۡۤا — Kha-say-roo — Lost (= v., past., pl., 3rd person. Destroyed. Harmed in a big way. Ruined. Caused or suffered loss or harm. See 006:141.  A/t/a, ‘who ruined,’ ‘have ruined’ and ‘who have made … suffer losses.’ But the future or present tense as in ‘will find … in perdition,’ ‘shall have ruined,’ ‘shall lose,’ ‘will have lost,’ ‘will lose … (by entering Hell)’ and ‘who lose’ are not a good translation of the past tense used in the text of the Holy Qor-aan)

  • نَآ — Naa — Our (= pro., pl., 1st person. Our; Us. Used with God’s name this plural is the authoritative way a higher-up talks)
  • يَظۡلِمُوۡنَ — Yauz-lay-moon — Doing wrong (= v. pres., pl., 3rd person. Acting unjustly; doing injustice harming, maltreating or mistreating people; shorting; transgressing; violating. But the nouns as in ‘unjust,’ ‘unjust with regard to’ and ‘will have … their disbelief,’ and verbs in the past tense as in ‘they wrongfully treated’, ‘they disbelieved,’ ‘they denied and rejected’ and ‘they have denied’ are no translations of the text of the Holy Qor-aan in a verb in the present tense)
