Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur’an and obvious blunders
Dear brother psyah, may I ask why do we need direct verse for death of anyone when we have been given the general rule that all living beings face death save Allah himself. The real world works the way it does and that is the way Allah planned for it to work. So where is the problem?
Dear brethren, please let us try to cut short the issue of khatme nabuwwat.
Coming to meanings of words, as I already explained that in prototype languages roots have been given meanings on basis of concrete meanings and derived meanings but the derived meanings are always explained in such a way that they explain concrete root meanings. So it matters not whether word is khatam or khaatim both meanings ultimately end up expressing the concrete root meaning.
For example, let us take root MEEM, WOW and HAA, this root is from prototype mother language mother language that was adopted into daughter languages as MEEM, WOW and HAMZAH whereof it was adopted into arabic as MEEM, ALIF and HAMZAH. The concrete root meaning given to this root is fluid ie something that flows without flaws smoothly like liquid, the best example of which is water. This same root is attached derived meanings as well eg well, spring, ripe, gild, coat, falsification, camouflage, sperm, quench, leak etc etc.
Likewise in arabic root KHAA, TAA, MEEM has a concrete meaning and a derived set of meanings. No root can have any derived meanings that do not express the concrete meaning. A very important point to remember.
My question is what is concrete root meanings of root KHAA, TAA and MEEM? The clue is that derived meanings explain it. Everyone is invited to have a go. Let us see how far we all succeed.
This together with contextual and conceptual understanding of the quran can decide whether it is those people who claim prophet muhammad is the final messenger from God right or those who claim the prophet-hood continues after him eg followers of mriza ghulam ahmed, nations of islam and various others.
As far as I understand the issue, prophet muhammad is the final messenger and there is no prophet after him of any sort. All prophets have passed away before him and none of the prophets is coming back after him. Al others ideas are simply part of misunderstanding of the quran due to ignorance of people or due to conspiracies against islam from within with help of outsiders. The very same conspiracies that brought down khilaafah in the first place by turning islam from deen to mazhab.
I will start with deciding the concrete root meaning of the word itself because unless our concept is clear about concrete root meaning other ideas will not sink in. The finality of prophet-hood can be proved in different ways from the quran but that will become clear in due course as the arguments develop.
So my question to all who are fighting over issue of khatme nabuwwat is what is concrete root meaning of root KHAA, TAA and MEEM? Please explain the derived meanings of this root so that we all could see why your assumed concrete root meaning are right or wrong in light of your own explanation.
May Allah bless us all with proper understanding of his message.
