Re: A question for fellow guppies on Quran and sunnah

Following is the translation of verses and the tafseer I got from Holy Quran....
[32:23] And 1825 Indeed gave We unto Moses the Book, so be thou* not in doubt of recieving this from Him (God) and it (torah) made We a guidance unto the Children of Israel.
[32:24] And 1825 of them made We Leaders(Imam)* to guide (the people) by(a) Our Command as they were steadfast (in the calamities); and they of Our signs were quite certain.

Where did that number of 1825 come from? Right there your source of the translation is suspect.

Verse 23....
The life history of Moses is identical with that of the Holy Prophet:
- Moses was given Torah and the Holy Prophet was given Holy Quran.
- Moses was under the command to fight his enemies, the Holy Prophet was also ordered to do the same.
- Moses had prayed to God to assist him with Aaron as his Deputy, the Holy Prophet was given Ali A.S. as his deputy
- Moses was victorious against Pharoah's forces and the Holy Prophet was granted triumph over his enemies
- According to the Torah there were twelve disciples of Moses and the Holy Prophet was succeeded by Twelve Imams.

This is a nice try, but there are no parallels to be drawn here. One ayath is a continuation of the other and is talking about Moses....(baal ki khaal nikal kar twelve Imam ko beech main lay aao)

a) There are several interpretations - but the most appropriate one is -- "Thou O' Prophet' - meaning the followers - be not in doubt about Moses recieving the book - referred here
b) Faith and certainity are steadfastness are the essential considerations of the status of Imammat -- none was declared an Imam without being qualified with these qualities.

Verse 24..
This is a reference to the twelve Holy Imam of Ahlul Bait the divinely comissioned guides to mankind on the path of Islam and the cutodians of the final word of God (the Holy Imams) - with whom the Holy Prophet left the Holy Book to secure it intact against any corruption or Tahreef and to give to mankind its correct interpretations as the authorized deputies of the Last Apostle of God.

No its not. If Allah wanted to make such a refrence he would have spelled it out, plus I do not see a number anyweher.
