Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur’an and obvious blunders
Bird is also used as a metaphor in Qur’an. Term ‘bird’ is used for people who will return to their master no matter how far away they go. Humans are made of clay.. why do you think no other word is used but clay ? These are the people who are loyal and will not choose wrong path once they accept the truth.
Read this.
Understand what the verse is talking about. Abraham asking Lord how He gives life to the dead (this is spiritually dead, as its evident from the rest of the verse). Allah tells him to take four birds ( which are His disciples, who accepted Him whole heartedly, which are attached to Him ) and then put them all on a hill.. once you call them for your help.. they will come to you in haste.
Look at the way how Allah explains. He uses metaphors. If you were to take this verse literally as well, then there really is no proof from Allah’s side on how he raise dead. Take 4 birds and make them attached to you. Abraham is asking how He raise dead ? Birds are already alive ? That is why you need to see it from another angle.. Allah raise the dead physically as well as spiritually. However, physical is only done on the day of judgement and that too, only by Allah alone. Whereas, spiritually, Allah raise dead through His prophets. Those who accept prophets are raised spiritually. They care less about the struggle they have to go through. They care not what hardship is yet to come.They are steadfast, show patience and strive in good deeds etc . Those who dont accept, Allah says their hearts are sealed.
Hope this helps. Jesus a.s designed the form of bird from clay..clay which human is made from.
