Psyah,
You are deliberately misusing your ‘knowledge’ on ‘qad khalat’. Let me demonstrate how:
You pointed out some objections regarding use of ‘Khala / khalat’ for the death of a person and said something similar:
**
- “I have shown that it had been used for things in Quran that cannot die”
- “If death is to be indicated ‘mawt’ should have been used”**
Let me first of all, bring what Arabic Dictionary tells us. I am not able to upload images in this section. so I will have to write it down.
**‘Khala fulanun iza Maata’ (Lissaan ul Arab)
‘Khala arajulu Aye Maata’ (Aqrrabil Muarid vol 1)
**similar meanings have been stated by Taajul Uroos - exposition of Qamoos vol 10
**So in short, when ‘Khala’ is used for a person, it means he died.
**Let me explain this point using ragtag language urdu that I know better. Arabic is much deep and vast language than urdu and saying that for death, only ‘Mawt’ should have been be used is simply ridiculous.
Here we go with urdu.
1) Woh guzar gaya 2) woh intiqaal kar gaya 3) woh faut ho gaya 4) wo mar gaya
5) Us ko maut nay aan daboocha etc.
All these expressions without any doubt, communicate the death of that person although ‘guzarna’, ‘intiqaal’ , ‘faut hona’, does not mean death if you look at them in isolation.
Now** ‘marna’** is very clear in its meaning but if I say **‘Us ki to mat hi mari gayi hai’ **and ‘Us kay deedon ka paani mar gaya hai’. Here ‘Marna’ has been used for abstract things that don’t die literally. Should we then start doubting the meaning of ‘Mar gaya’ when used for a person?
Again** ‘Mawt’ **- ‘Hamarey aqdaar ki mawt waqey ho chuki hai’
Now should we start doubting that ‘Mawt’ is not expressive enough for death of a person it has been used for other immaterial things.
Back to Arabic. Psyah, in the light of your two highlighted objections, how would you rate the usefulness of ‘mawt’ for the death of a person when
it has been used for sleep as well. Remember, the prayers that muslims read before going to bed and after getting up.
**In the first prayer on sleeping, ‘Ammutu’ (I die) is used for sleep and ‘Ahyaa’ (I become alive) for getting up has been used.
In the 2nd prayer on waking up, ‘Ahyaana’(who revived us to life) (i.e., woke us up) and ‘bada ma Amatina’ (after giving us death) (i.e., after giving us sleep)
**
There are other similar sort of prayers that use such expressions. here is one link

hmmm so even **‘mawt’ **has become ‘uncertain’ in communicating its meanings. Is there anything certain in your world?
the 1 and 2 objections are nullified.
