Re: Hazrat Isa A.S.
tawaffee is what its performed. OK. tawaffee of the nafs , hence soul. There are many many many verses in which the word ‘nufs’ is mentioned.
I’ll give you few verses yet again.
2:48 And fear the day when** no soul shall serve** as a substitute for another soul at all, nor shall intercession be accepted for it; nor shall ransom be taken from it; nor shall they be helped.
2:233 No soul is burdened beyond its capacity ( part of long verse)
2:281 And fear the day when you shall be made to return to Allah; then shall every soul be paid in full what it has earned; and they shall not be wronged.
3:30 Beware of the Day when every soul shall find itself confronted with all the good it has done and all the evil it has done. ( part of a long verse )
Let me make bullet points so it is not hard for you to understand.
- Allah does tawaffee of nufs
- Nufs is soul. (see above verses where nufs is used and meant soul)
- Allah ‘takes away’(does tawaffee) in 2 cases 1) sleep 2) death.
You say the word ‘nufs’ is not present in the verse for Isa(as). Well, neither does any word which means ‘physically taken up’. The word ‘nufs’ does not need to be present for it to mean death. See the following verse for example, where tawaffee is used without the word ‘nufs’ or ‘mawt’.
8:50 : And if thou couldst see, when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelieve, smiting their faces and their backs, saying: ‘**Taste ye the punishment of burning!
**
if you say i’m including the word soul there, then try translating it and see if it make sense to you. Angels ‘take away’ (something) of disbelievers and says : ’ **taste ye the punishment of burning ’
**
What im pointing out is, the word nufs, which means soul does not need to be written everywhere for it to mean taking away soul. Angels dont say ‘taste ye the punishment of burning’ to someone whose sleeping ( temporary tawaffee), but **only **when souls are taken away from them ( which is death ).
Again, your argument is weak about the word ‘nufs’ not being present in Isa(as)'s case. You are yet to show me the 3rd way of Allah taking someone up.
sleep and death do not equal tawaffee? what is that even suppose to mean? tawaffee you said means ‘taking up’.
I’m saying that ‘taking up’ process Allah says happens in 2 cases. The cases are sleep and death.
