Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur’an and obvious blunders
Peace Popat – You verse you quoted proves what brother psyah has been stating all throughout this thread.
Here Allah (swt) is stating that all the Messengers (asa) to Humanity were HUMANS – proof that is that they ATE FOOD and were all MORTALS (they will taste death when Allah (swt) has ordained for them).
Allah (swt) did not sent Angels to Mankind as messengers
Read the following from Tafseer Ibn Kathir:
Only Human Messengers have been Sent
(Is it a wonder to people that We have sent Our Inspiration to a man from among themselves (saying): "Warn mankind…‘’) and He said, (And We sent not (as Our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad) any but men, whom We sent Revelation. So ask Ahl Adh-Dhikr, if you know not.). meaning, (ask) the people of the previous Books, were the Messengers that were sent to them humans or angels If they were angels, then you have the right to find this strange, but if they were human, then you have no grounds to deny that Muhammad is a Messenger.
Allah says:* (And We sent not before you (as Messengers) any but men to whom We revealed, from among the people of townships. )* ﴿12:109﴾ and not from among the people of heaven as you say.‘’ It was reported by Mujahid from Ibn `Abbas that what is meant by Ahl Adh-Dhikr is the People of the Book. This is as Allah says:
(Say: "Glorified be my Lord! Am I anything but a man, sent as a Messenger’’ And nothing prevented men from believing when the guidance came to them, except that they said: "Has Allah sent a man as (His) Messenger’') (17:93-94)
(And We never sent before you (O Muhammad) any of the Messengers but verily, they ate food and walked in the markets.) (25:20)
(And We did not create them (the Messengers, with) bodies that did not eat food, nor were they immortals.)(21:8)
(Say (O Muhammad ): "I am not a new thing among the Messengers. '‘) ﴿46:9﴾,(Say (O Muhammad): "I am only a man like you. It has been revealed to me.'’) ﴿18:110﴾ Then Allah informs those who doubt that a Messenger can be a human to ask those who have knowledge of the previous Scriptures about the Prophets who came before: were their Prophets humans or angels Then Allah mentions that He has sent them, (with clear signs), meaning proof and evidence, and……………………
Tafsir Ibn Kathir - Quran Tafsir - Only Human Messengers have been Sent
Refer to the following ayahs when the angels visited Hz. Ibrahim (as) – clearly shows that angels do not eat:
11:69] And certainly Our messengers came to Ibrahim with good news. They said: Peace. Peace, said he, and he made no delay in bringing a roasted calf.
11:70] But when he saw that their hands were not extended towards it, he deemed them strange and conceived fear of them. . They said: Fear not, surely we are sent to Lut’s people.
Trait of Jews? Ahmadis keep hurling this taunt blindly without even referring to the relevant hadith, Which is as follows:
Abdullah bin Amarra relates that the Holy Prophet (SA) said ‘Surely things will happen to my people as happened earlier to Israelites, they will resemble each other like one shoe in a pair resembles the other to the extent that if anyone among the Israelites has openly committed adultery to his mother there will be some who will do this in my Ummah as well, verily the Israelites were divided into 72 sects but my people will be divided into 73 sects, all of them will be in the fire** except one**.
The companions asked. ‘Who are they O Messenger of Allah,’
Holy Prophet (pbuh) said. `They are those who will be like me and my companions.’ Tirmidhi - Kitabul Eeman
The companions asked. 'Who are they O Messenger of Allah – MEANING WHO WILL NOT HAVE THE TRAIT OF JEWS
Holy Prophet (pbuh) said. `They are those who will be like me and my companions.’
EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO FOLLOW THE SUNNAH OF THE BLESSED PROPHET (SAW) AND HIS BLESSED COMPANIONS (May Allah be pleased with all) AND NO ONE ELSE – no shadow/zilli/cloned/duplicate prophets
Apart from the above rest all will have traits of the Jews.
Take a good look in the mirror and smile you will see one smiling back at you!
