Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur’an and obvious blunders
Peace kchughtai
Thanks for this video … I checked the first reference so far:
Ibn Atiya (Tafsir)
I actually found the very page that was being discussed:
Use zoom buttons and scroll with mouse on screen
As you will see in this page:
The discussion relates various opinions … lots of decoration on why Isa (AS) will return and that he is alive:
Among them two definitions are: A prolonged sleep like state and the second is Qabz (to be grabbed) so these ideas that we are relating have been there from the start. Now the statement of “Malik” in Jaamiul Atbiya … “Isa died at the age of 33 years …” … I think it goes on to say that his body was taken, but he expresses this is a weak opinion.
What is clear is that the full page is testimony that the Isa (AS) is alive … Now regarding the opinion of Imam Malik - unless we see that reference we cannot ascertain what criteria was used by “Malik” - Was it Imam Malik? Other books need to be sourced to follow the chain back. This is where I am at the moment on this follow up.
I notice the people in the video discuss why it cannot be “sleep” … that it would mean he only went to “sleep” after 33 years and that does not make sense … but the counter to that is the type of sleep he may have entered in was “a special prolonged sleep” particular to him alone.
I find it amazing how you can look through a sea of opposing ideas and when you find one weak opinion it becomes your evidence and all else far more established gets rejected … Any way the first reference has not been traced back to Imam Malik yet … so need to carry on tracing.
