Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur’an and obvious blunders
Peace Popat Thanks yes we must always keep striving for the Truth and never be contented/complacent /smug with what is our current situation. Guidance is form Allah (swt) alone.
I have no problem with whatever ethnicity MGAQ wants to accredit himself with. It’s just his inconsistency always changing positions and relying on ever ready ‘WAHI’ to back up his claim.
Believe me, if it had helped his cause he would have managed to link himself with British Royalty. And he would have WAHI ready at hand to vouch for his claim.
This is just a minor issue – The major issues is that the Quran and authentic ahadith are against him.
Popat I think you were not being fair to **brother psyah **– In verse 5:75 it is not exclusively as you want it to be - “They both used to eat food.” Have a look at the various translations.
Muhammad Asad The Christ, son of Mary, was but an apostle: all [other] apostles had passed away before him; and his mother was one who never deviated from the truth; and they both ate food [like other mortals]. Behold how clear We make these messages unto them: and then behold how perverted are their minds!

Part 2
Popat you are trying to read the verse to fit in with your beliefs.
Christians tacitly attributed divinity to Hz. Maryum (ra) addressing her as ‘Mother of God’.
By combing them both together Allah (swt) is nullifying divinity attributed to both Hz. Isa Ibn Maryum (as) and his mother. Saying like mortals they ate food - Allah (swt) does not eat!
Allah (swt) did not declare him dead. Allah (swt) said: Messengers like him had passed away – here Allah (swt) is nullifying divinity which Christians had attribute to Hz. Isa Ibn Maryum (as). Allah (swt) is telling the Christians just like other messengers had passed away Jesus is not a God, he too, will pass away. It is ONLY Allah (swt) who lives for Forever.
Sorry, **Bigboi **– You are wrong!
Mirza is honorary title both in Persian and Turkish (Mughals – ethnicity of MGAQ) It is not exclusive to Persian.
There is overlap being so close to each other.
*The title itself came from the title emir. Emir, meaning “commander”, -derived from the Semitic root Amr, “command”. Originally simply meaning commander or leader, usually in reference to a group of people. It came to be used as a title of governors or rulers, usually in smaller states
*
*Mirza (Persian: میرزا, Turkish: Mirza, Uzbek: mirzo, Russian: мурза, Circassian: мырзэ), (common variance in Tatar nobility as Morza) is of Persian origin, denoting the rank of a high nobleman or Prince.[1] It is usually translated into English as a royal or imperial Prince of the Blood. It signified male-line descent and relationship to the Imperial Families of Turkey, Persia and later South Asia and was the title borne by members of the highest aristocracies in Tatar states, such as Khanate of Kazan, Khanate of Astrakhan and in the Russian Empire (Under Catherine the Great’s rule the Murzas gained equal rights with the Russian nobility).[2] In fact, Prince Felix Yusupov, the nephew-in-law of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was descended from Abdul Mirza, the first Prince Yusopov.[3]
*
*Mirza was given to imperial prince; a title or part of a name implying relationship to the Turk dynasties like Mughal dynasty (the Imperial House of Timur).[7] But in Indian royal families, the title can be placed both before the name and after it, such as Prince Mirza Mughal and Prince Kamran Mirza. Prince Khusrau Mirza was the grandson of Emperor Babur (Babur Mirza), son of Emperor Jahangir and a brother of Emperor Shah Jahan. Emperor Akbar Shah II was Prince Mirza Akbar before his coronation. Emperor Babur took the imperial title of Padishah on 6 March 1508, before which he used the title Mirza.[8]
In the Indian subcontinent, especially Bengal and Bihar, the Mirzas are also known locally as the variant of Mridha (from Mirdhjah) usually due to the Bengali language not have a ‘z’ sounding alphabet.[9] Mughal dynasty (the Imperial House of Timur "Sarai Mulk Khanam Qutubuddunniya wa Deen Amir Qutubuddin Taimur Baig Sahib-e-kiran).< Rulers of India included:*

People claiming to be from Prophet (saw)'s progeny normally attach Syed to their name - After the Wahi MGAQ didn’t.
