Al Hajj is The Fulfilment of The Covenant that performed in AMAH.

[Ajinomoto]

Salam Wakas,


As promised.


Salam Alaykum,


AMAH

AMAH is The Blessed Land who the inhabitant bound with The Covenant, where Muhammad was assigned to deliver Al Quran as The Fulfillment of God's Commandment to The Covenant that bound "bani israel".

AMAH in Al Quran is to make clear the understanding of what Jewish/Israel claimed today about the Promise Land or Land of The Covenant (7:161, 27:76).

AL HAJJ

"al hajj" is The Fulfillment of The Covenant, either by God, or by The Prophet, or the believers at the prophet time, or by those who bound with The Covenant.

As The Host of His House (The Earth), God took The Covenant from His Servants, and The Covenant tied both parties. The Fulfillment of God's Commandment to The Covenant was called "al hajj".

As a Prophet, Muhammad was bound with The Covenant with God, in order for him to take responsible to carry out God's Commandments that addressed to him and the believers with him, and this was called "al hajj".

Those to whom the messenger was sent to, and those who bound with The Covenant with God were responsible to support him, and to obey him, and this was called "al hajj".

Therefore, "al hajj" in Al Quran is just about the fulfillment of The Covenant for both parties that performed at the time Al Quran was revealed in AMAH, and the other purpose of the "al hajj" is that in order for the reader of Al Quran to know, that the commands which related to those in the past is only valid for them, and has nothing to do with those after them, except for lesson.

I will not start from the very beginning, which is from the story of Adam, as God created Adam and his descendants, in order for the people inherit Al Quran (2:30), and they are the main subject of the whole story of The Covenant with God (3:33-34).

So, please read it slowly (as my bad English, I apologize for that) and please read it until finish to get clear picture.


GOD TOOK THE COVENANT FROM THE PEOPLE OF MUSA WHO NIGHT TRAVEL WITH HIM


God choose Musa among the messengers (20: 41) and his people who night travel with him, which was called as "israel" (44:23), for God took The Covenant from them, for the purpose that had been decreed, after God had annihilated previous generations.

28:43  - We gave Musa The Book, after We had annihilated the earlier generations as "eye opener" for the people, as guidance and mercy that they may take heed.

Musa is descendant of Noah, and his people is descendant of people of ark (17:3).

The kingdom of "mishra" was started at the time of Ibrahim (2:258), and continued at the time of Yusuf (12:43), and at the time of Musa (44:31), and the kings of "mishra" are the descendants of people of ark (5:20), which is to proof that "fir'aun" has nothing to do with EGYPT at all.

God commanded Musa to leave "mishra" by night traveling with his people to the far land (for The Covenant), and at the same time God wanted to drown the king of "mishra" and his troops into the sea (17:103).

Most probably, "fir'aun" was drowned into Dead Sea, and left his fortress as a sign for the people (10:92).

The word of "bi-badanika" in 10:92 does not mean a body, as no point for the people "inherit" a dead body of "fir'aun". Based on CAD, the root of "b d n" means body, trunk, fortress, wall.

Most probably, Masada Fortress is the object that was talked in 28:38, 40:36-37, where "fir'aun" asked for "haman" to build in high place, in order for him to see The Lord of Musa.

Masada Fortress is one of the World Heritage by Unesco, near Dead Sea.

A fortress could be a lesson for the people, but a dead body of "fir'aun" is for what?

Al Quran make clear the dispute among the people of the scriptures (27:76, 16:64).

Musa selected 70 men from his people, and earthquake was happened (7:155), in order for them to remember that moment. God never raised the mountain in the story of "israel" in Al Quran.

God delivered His commandment to "israel" that He would like to send down The Light (Al Quran), thru "the gentile prophet", that would be written in Torah and Gospel. Those who follow The Light that sent down with him would be the successful ones (7:156-158), and then God took The Covenant from them by giving them THE TEN COMMANDMENTS that need to be uphold by "Israel".

God made "israel" in 12 groups to show us the exact number of the people who night traveled with Musa, which is 420 people (LCM of 70 and 12 = 420) (7:155, 7:160, 26:54). That is the way of God explaining His Revelations. Glory be to God.

After God had taken The Covenant from "israel", they should enter "al muqadassata" (purified land) (5:20, 17:104), which is their original land, that God had purify it by drowning the king and his troops into the sea.

The name of "mishra" is no longer used after the king had been drowned, as the story of the land will be continued with different story.

"israel" refused to enter the land (5:20-24), because they knew that the rest of the troops were still in it, and they did not want to fight them, and made them get cursed for 40 years, and God let Musa and Harun left them forever (5:25-26).

Since then, the name of "israel" has no longer existed, which to prove that "israel" is not a name of tribe or nation but just a code or pronoun in the scriptures, for those who God took The Covenant, but when they broke The Covenant by refusing to enter the land, God cursed them as "gog and megog" or "ya'juj and ma'juj" (18:94), means "to and fro" as they have no place to live.

It is the same thing for those who transgressed the sabat among "bani israel", God cursed them as "apes and pigs", and it's just a code (5:60).

As "gog and megog", God made them verily was rejected in the lands, so they stole and rob, and made people upset to them.

They stole and rob for living, at the land of "the people who barely understand The Saying". This people are the inhabitant of "midyan" who denied Musa (22:44). Those who denied the messengers was called "people who barely understand The Saying" (4:78). 

Then "dhi al qarnaini" came to help "the people who barely understand The Saying" by making a metal gate for the land, in order for "gog and megog" had no way to enter the land, and in order for them to taste the curse of God until The Promise of God fulfilled in 40 years (18-94-98).

That's the true story of "gog and megog" based on Al Quran, and the story of them that came from Jewish, Christian and Islam totally doesn't make any sense.

The purpose of the name of "israel" and "bani Israel" in the scriptures is the same as the name of people of ark or people of the scriptures, that there is no tribe or nation called people of ark or people of the scriptures. The nation of Israel that we see today has totally nothing to do with "israel" or "bani israel" in the scriptures.

After 40 years, God raised a prophet among them (2:246-251), and made them inherit the land ex-"fir'aun" (26:59), plus the whole land from the west to the east (7:137, 10:93). And as The Fulfillment of God's Promise, "gog and megog" came from everywhere to the land (21:95-96), which later called as "AMAH" at the time of Muhammad. That is the way of God explaining His Revelations. Glory be to God.

God named the inhabitant of The Blessed Land as "bani israel", as they bound with The Covenant that taken by "israel", inherited Torah (40:53), and inherited THE AMAH (10:93).

God sent messengers from among themselves consecutively (5:70), and gave them scriptures, in order for them familiar with God's Revelations, just like they recognize their own children (6:20), and God blessed them more than anyone in the world (45:16), in order for them to be the witness for the world at the coming of The Light (3:99, 46:10, 11:17).

Based on the above story, we have clear proof and no doubt, that the messenger who night traveled from AMAH to the far land as mentioned in 17:1, is Musa and not Muhammad, as they traveled for The Covenant.


GOD TOOK THE COVENANT FROM MUHAMMAD TO RECEIVE AL QURAN (33:7)


3:81 - And when God took The Covenant from the prophets, "Accept (lama) what I have given you The Scripture and The Responsibility (hikmatin), and then there comes to you Gabriel (rasulun mushaddaqun) for what is with you, you must believe in him and support him". God said, "Will you testify and take responsible of The Duty from Me?" They said, "We will". He said, "Then watch, and I Am with you among the witnesses (as the witness of knowledge).

Explanation to the verse 3:81:

1.   Based on CAD, the word of "lama" means "set hand to", "take all".

2.   The word of "hikmatin" appears only in this verse, and it refers to the responsible of the messengers to "The Duty from God".

3.    "rasulun mushaddaqun" means Gabriel, and this is supported by 53:1-10, and also some other verses:

         Only Gabriel as The Messenger who came from The Side of God or "min-indillahi" – 2:101.

         Only Gabriel said "I am to you from Him" (11:2), please compare to "the human messengers" saying about their
         apostolical (22:49, 7:68, 26:125, 11:25, 26:106, 71:2, 26:143, 26:162, 26:178, 44:18).

         Gabriel is The Messenger who would ensure that all messengers had deliver God's Message (72:27).

         The word of "rasuluna" (5:15, 5:19), talks about Gabriel as the messenger.

         The word of "rasulina" (5:92, 64:12), talks about Muhammad as the messenger.

         Both of the words appear only in those verses, and many more proofs.

4.   Therefore, based on (33:7, 3:81, 33:40) that there will be no more prophet nor human messenger coming after Muhammad, 
        because Muhammad and Al Quran is the Fulfillment of God's Commandment to The Covenant that bound "bani israel" (7:155-158).
        God is The One who take responsible to maintain Al Quran, and to teach and to explain it to whom He wills among the people (75:19,
        2:269, 55:2).

5.   Muhammad was responsible to carry out God's Commandment in Al Quran that addressed to him and the believers with him, and this
        was called "al hajj":

       1.   To deliver Al Quran and to make clear God's Revelations.
       2.   To restore the forbidden livestock and other things as per Al Quran.
       3.   To stop oppression, and strive in the way of God, including fighting.
       4.   To eliminate the idol worshipers in AMAH.

6.   The believers at the time of Muhammad were obligated to believe in him, to support him and to obey him (7:6, 5:109, 4:42, 4:115,
        24:54, 33:56, 47:33), as The Prophet is more worthy than themselves (33:6), and this was called "al hajj".


THE EMIGRATION


The verse of 2:144 to 150 talks about God's Command to Muhammad to emigrate to AMAH, and God gave some information to him, in order for him to know the situation of the people of the scriptures who inhabited AMAH.

2:144  -  We have seen the changes of your situation in "al sama'i", so surely we will appointed you a place as home base that you will like it. So, emigrate to be a part of the Land who the inhabitant bound with The Covenant. Wherever you are, emigrate to be a part of it. And indeed, those who received Scriptures really know, that it is The Truth from their Lord, and God is not unaware of what you do.

Muhammad and his people came from "the gentile people" (28:86, 93:7), so they were instructed to emigrate from Non-Amah to AMAH, and this made Muhammad happy, as they could proclaim about the coming of Al Quran and his messengership to the believers among the people of the scriptures who inhabited AMAH, and also to get better understanding about God's Revelations (10:94, 21:7).

God used the word of "syatra" means part or half part, as they were instructed to emigrate there, not just for living, but for The Covenant.

God ensure Muhammad that those who have been given scriptures who lived in AMAH, really know that Al Quran is from their Lord (2:23-26, 11:17, 18:29, 22:54, 47:2).

2:145  -  And even if you come to those who were given the scriptures with all signs, they would not follow your mindset. Nor will you follow their mindset. They do not follow each other's mindset. If you follow their desire after what had come to you among the knowledge, then verily you are among the wicked.

However, God warned Muhammad to be careful with them, as most of them are the wicked (17:73-75). Only those among the people of the scriptures who respond him are those who are the believers (6:36).

God described the mindset of the people of the scriptures to Muhammad for him to be careful. Jewish had three types of mindsets (al yahuwdu, haduw, and hudan), while Christian had two types of mindsets (al nashara and nashara). God warned Muhammad not to follow their mindsets, and if he follows then he would be among the wicked (3:61, 6:153).

2:146  -  Those to whom We have given The Book recognize it, like they recognize their own children, but a group of them conceal The Truth while they know.

2:147  -  The Truth is from your Lord, so do not be among those who doubt.

The two above verses were to ensure Muhammad about the situation of the people of AMAH, in order for him to know them well before he meets them (6:20, 5:15, 3:60, 7:2, 10:94).

2:148  -  And to each of you, there is "access way" (wijhatun) that he will take, so race towards good deeds. God will bring you all together, wherever you may be.

This verse linked to 5:48 to explain about the meaning of "wjihatun", that God gave "wide access way" (syir'atan minhajan) for the people to take for devoting to Him, as each generations have their own way as per the situation of their era, so God did not want His Servant get locked under one group of religion (11:118, 16:93, 42:8 ) as we see today, as people will always dispute and make disaster for the world.

Muhammad and the believers with him are the latest generations in the religion of God, and they were "ummatan wasathan" in the side of God (2:143), which is independent group of religion, not Jewish, not Christian, and not any kind of group of religion (Islam), just like Ibrahim (3:67).

Devoting to God is individually, as Islam in only in the side of God (3:19), and no point to declare our religion (49:16).
The only thing that God ordered the believers to do in group, is as explained in 3:104-105.

2:149  - And whatever problem appears, emigrate to be a part of The Land who the inhabitant bound with The Covenant, indeed it is The Truth from your Lord, and God is not unaware of what you do.

God convinces Muhammad that whatever problem he may face, he should emigrate to be a part of AMAH, because God always save His messengers and the believers, as this is The True Promise of God (10:103, 4:100).

2:150  -  And whatever problem appears, emigrate to be a part of The Land who the inhabitant bound with The Covenant, wherever you are, emigrate to be a part of it. So that the people will have no argument against you, except those who transgress among them. Do not fear them but fear Me. So that, I may complete My favor upon you, and that you may be guided.

God had made AMAH as safe place for the believers to emigrate (28:57, 29:67).

Those who believe and emigrate and strive in the way of God and those who have sheltered and supported, they are allies one another (8:72, 10:62).

More believers bear witness about Al Quran, they will be stronger, and people will have no argument to deny them, except the transgressor among them.


THE SITUATION IN AMAH


22:25  -  Indeed those who disbelieve and hinder (people) from the way of God and The Land who the inhabitant bound with The Covenant that We made it for the people, have the same rights in it and those who emigrate (al badi), and whoever returned by swerving transgress in it, We taste him painful punishment.

Based on CAD, the root of "b d a" = "emigrate".

This verse is a reminder for "bani israel" who are the inhabitant of AMAH to uphold The Covenant that bound them, that they all have the same rights in it, and also for those who emigrate to it, which is Muhammad and the believers who commanded by God to emigrate from Non-AMAH to AMAH.

22:26  - And when We strengthened for Ibrahim a place of living of The House (The Earth), that "Do not associate anything with Me, purify My House (My Earth) for those who righteous, and those who upright and those who humble".

This verse gives clear message that AMAH which is The Blessed Land ex people of ark and Noah, was focused in The Blessed land ex Ibrahim, where Muhammad and the believers at his time emigrated (21:71).

AMAH at the time of Muhammad consist of many cities that came from many messengers, some still stand and some totally destroyed (11:100).

22:27  - And proclaim to the people "about The Coming of The Light" (bi-al hajj), they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from the far places.

This verse is talking about Muhammad and has nothing to do with Ibrahim, as it is clear that Ibrahim and his descendants had passed (2:134).

Al Quran is The Fulfillment of God's Commandment to The Covenant that bound "bani Israel" (7:156-158), and the believers among them wait for it's coming hereditarily for centuries.

Therefore, the news of The Coming of The Light, made them come hasten from the far places for it, as it is the greatest news for them who bound with The Covenant (17:108-109, 5:83-84, 28:51-54).

The coming of Al Quran is the form of The Fulfillment of God's Commandment to The Covenant that bound "bani israeil", and this was called "al hajj".

Muhammad and his people were welcomed by the believers among the people of the scriptures in AMAH (59:9, 8:72, 8:74), which was called "al anshari" (9:100, 9:117).

Some of the believers from the people of the scriptures also emigrated from Non-Amah to AMAH (8:72, 4:100, 22:58, 9:20, 2:218).


THE STORY OF PROPHET IN AMAH BEGIN


The next verse (22:28-38) indicates that they were commanded to celebrate the coming of Al Quran, for thanking God in fulfillment His Commandment, by slaughtering some livestock, and not sacrificing for God, as God no need anything from the world (4:131, 14:8, 17:111, 31:12, 35:15).

But their preparation to celebrate it, were prevented by those who transgress among the people of the scriptures and the idols worshiper, by trying to expel the messenger from AMAH (17:76, 9:13), they hindered the people to enter AMAH (5:2), and persecuted the believers (4:75, 22:40, 8:34), so they were fighting to stop the oppression, and at the end God gave them victory to celebrate it by entering AMAH safely (48:24-29).

From this event, the story of the messenger with the believers with him in AMAH was started, and we can see further that each of the command that addressed to the messenger and the believers with him, was called "al hajj", and has nothing to do with those after them except for lesson.


2:189  -  They asked you regarding the ethics (al ahillati), say it is "the procedures" (mawaqitu) for the people and The Fulfillment of The Covenant (al-hajja). It is not righteous, coming to the houses "at the wrong time and bad manner" (zuhuwriha), but the true is to fear God and coming to the houses "at the right time and proper manner" (abwabiha). And be aware of God that you may succeed.

Explanation to the verse of 2:189

Based on CAD, the root of "h l" means "begin of something" that could be "new moon", "begin to cry or scream", "begin to speech".

Four other verses that contained the same root of "al ahillati" is "uhilla" in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145, and 16:115, which means "started", "intended", "initiated".

The word of "al ahillati" in this verse has nothing to do with the new moon, but it talks about on how to interact with the prophet, which is "the ethics", especially in the prophet houses as "qiblatan" for the believers (2:144, 10:87).

Those to whom the prophet was sent to and those who bound with The Covenant, were obligated to support him and to obey him, and that was called "al hajj", and in order for the reader of Al Quran to know, that supporting and obeying the messenger is only valid for those who lived at his time, and nothing to do with those after them.

The Prophet is more worthy to the believers than themselves, and God have prepared the punishment for the disbelievers (33:6-8). God will question those who received The Messages, and will question the messengers (7:6).

"zuhuwri-ha" does not necessarily mean "the back of the house physically", because not every houses have access door from the back, but it means "at the wrong time and bad manner" because this verse talks about "the ethics", on how to interact with the prophet with "procedures" (mawaqitu) that guided by God.

Please check other verses that contained the word of "zuhuwri" (2:101, 3:187, 6:31, 6:94), they are not really mean "back physically".

So does with the word of "abwabi-ha" which does not really mean "doors in physically", like "abwabu-ha" (gate of the heaven and hell – 39:73, 39:71) but "at the right time and proper manner", because this verse talk about "the ethics".

This verse was detailed in other verses about "the ethics" on how the believers at his time should interacted with the prophet:

1.   They were not allowed to place their opinion above God and His messenger (49:1).
2.   They were not allowed to rise their voice above prophet voice (49:2-3).
3.   They were not allowed to call the messenger by screaming from outside of his house (49:4-5).
4.   They were not allowed to come to the prophet's house at private time (24:58).
5.   They were not allowed to stay longer in prophet's house (33:53).
6.   They may ask prophet's wives about "beyond of personal matter" (min wara'i hijabin)[/u], in order for them not to harm
        God's messenger (33:53).

        All Al Quran translator, wrongly translated the words of "min wara'i hijabin", with something totally does not make sense, which to
        prove that Al Quran is not only about Arabic literature.

7.   Dress code for prophet's wives and their daughters and the wives of the believers at their time (33:59)
8.   They were instructed to support the prophet, as God and His Angles support him (33:56).
9.   No one is allowed to hurt God's messengers (9:61).
10.   And many more.

Surah no. 62 (al jumu'ati) is talking about the situation at the time of the prophet and the believers with him on market day, that they asked for people to gather for listening to the prophet explaining Al Quran, and it is "al hajj" which only valid for them.

However, we can do the same thing at any time we want, if any community of the believers in our city who able to read and to explain about Al Quran (3:104-105).

==================================================


The basic concept to understand Al Quran is that all unique words are "mutasyabihatun", so don't too focused with Arabic Literature (3:7), because it will make you deadlock.

God had designed Al Quran like computer program, by using pronoun or variable code, and this made those people in the past impossible and no way to grasp it, so never use their understanding about Al Quran as a reference at all.

Al Quran have completed and detailed and no need references from any one from the past (7:38-39) or imams (9:31), as the best teacher of Al Quran is Al Quran itself (55:2).

Muhammad is well educated (44:14), he only explained Al Quran to his people according to their thinking ability (6:105), and he was not allowed to explain the whole Al Quran (75:16), as his main duty is only to deliver Al Quran (64:12).


This article is totally new, and you will find it nowhere on the planet, so I need your help with your best logical argument to deny it, for us to support each other to prove that Mecca and Madinah have nothing to do with Al Quran at all.

However, if you think this article doesn't make sense, then never mind, I will discontinue the article to the forum.


Salam and May God bless for the believers.

[Wakas]

peace,
I only skim read it. Can you elaborate on the methodology you used to write it?

As an example, here is my methodology:
http://www.quran434.com/study-method.html

[Ajinomoto]

Salam,

As you don't read it you miss the point.

Your methodology only fit to "the muhkamat verses", but totally not fit to "the mutasyabihat verses", and seems you treat all verses in Al Quran as "muhkamat".


Salam

[Wakas]

peace,

Your methodology only fit to "the muhkamat verses", but totally not fit to "the mutasyabihat verses", and seems you treat all verses in Al Quran as "muhkamat".

Perhaps you can clarify what you mean by "mutasyabihat" and "muhkamat", as in how you understand those terms.

[Ajinomoto]

peace,
Perhaps you can clarify what you mean by "mutasyabihat" and "muhkamat", as in how you understand those terms.

Peace brother Wakas,


The typical of "muhkamat verses": Those verses that clear to understand by study the root of the words of the verses and can be ensured with other verses if any, but still need to be analyzed from the logic point of view.

I give example of "muhkamat verse" (33:53):

The words of "min wara'i hijabin" (33:53), all translators translate this verse to something totally doesn't make any sense, as they see it only from the root of the words, without using their logic.

However, the words of "min wara'i hijabin, means "beyond of personal matter", because asking of any personal matter to prophet's wives can harm the prophet, and that is the point of the verse.

So, this proves that Al Quran is not only about Arabic Literature, but need good logic to study Al Quran.

The typical of "mutasyabihat verses" is that, those verses that difficult to understand, and not enough by studying the root of the words, but need to be seen from different angle, and need to find the explanation thru other verses, and need "deep contemplation", like in the case of The Covenant, "al hajj", and AMAH.

Only God knows the mutasyabihat verses and those who possess soulful of knowledge (3:7), and it means that God had explained "mutasyabihat verses" thru other verses.

So, we need to find it, by seeking other verses that talked about the same topic and same background of story.

I have proven all the words of "al hajj" in Al Quran, and I have clear picture that those are about the fulfillment of The Covenant, either by God, by the messenger, or by the believers, and they all matched with the whole story of The Covenant in Al Quran, even link with the purpose of the creation of Adam, and I have many supporting verses to support my understanding, which I have wrote in the article.

That is why I said, your methodology verily disregards "mutasyabihat verse" that have been remind, and make you totally too far from the purpose of the whole story of The Covenant, "al hajj", and AMAH, while they all are one package of the story.

The way you do had been done by those people in past, they disregard "mutasyabihat verse", and made them too focused on the root of the word of "al hajj" and AMAH, and finally they get deadlocked, and made them no choice except to follow the pagan rituals in Mecca.

Your perception of "al hajj" as symposium, feast, homage, commemoration is totally no proofs in Al Quran anything to support them, totally out of topic of Al Quran, and moreover about your perception of AMAH (too difficult to understand except for yourself), because your methodology not to include the good logic and the contemplation. 


Thanks and Regads,

[Wakas]

peace,

So in summary the methodology you apply to each type of verse is:

"muhkamat verses":
study the root of the words
check other verses
logic

"mutasyabihat verses"
studying the root of the words,
need to be seen from different angle
check other verses
"deep contemplation"

You never mentioned logic for "mutasyabihat" and mentioned "need to be seen from different angle". Well, a different angle from "logic" is "illogic" which could explain your interpretations.

I found your example of a "muhkamat verse" (33:53) to lack credibility. You presented no root evidence, nor cross-reference evidence and I'm not even sure your rearrangement of the phrase is acceptable by way of Quranic grammar.

And lastly nothing you mentioned invalidated anything I wrote here: http://www.quran434.com/study-method.html

Unfortunately your reply lacks any specifics. You claim my views on these terms are "totally out of topic of Quran" yet present zero proofs, e.g. your view contradicts Quran verse XYZ, it is illogical because XYZ, it is impractical because of XYZ.

I recommend forum readers compare your analysis and these articles and decide for themselves:

[Ajinomoto]

Peace all,

No one can "touch" Al Quran, except those who intend to purify themselves (56:79).

Al Quran is not a manmade book that can be translated using a certain methodology. Only God has His own "methodology" to let whomever He wills among His servant to understand Al Quran (2:269).


Those who affiliate with any group of religion will not be able to understand Al Quran.


Those who affiliate with any group of religion cannot "touch" Al Quran forever, as they are polytheists (31:31-32).

Being Islam in the Side of God is His Choice for whomever He wills among His Servants (6:125, 39:22), that is why the true religion is only in the side of God since the time of Noah (42:13) and not in a group, just like Ibrahim that followed by Muhammad (16:123).

Whoever is guided, it's for himself, whoever go astray, he only loss over his error (39:41, 17:15, 6:104, 10:108, 6:125).

The existence of groups of religion is a form of God's punishment to the people (6:65), but most of the people do not realize it.

The three groups of religion as we see today (Jewish, Christian, and Islam), are the spiritual descendants of the three groups that faced by Muhammad at his time, which is Jewish, Christian, and Idol worshiper of three deities (parvati, sarashwati, and laksmi -  53:19-20), as every single thing in this worldly life had been written in the side of God (27:75).


Arabic today is the language that called "a'jamiyyun" in Al Quran (16:103)


Arabic today was designed by the Persian, Abu Bishr Amr ibn Uthman (Sibawayh) in the 7th century, and most probably, number of Arabic letters today had been updated from 22 letters to 28 letters, to match with the number of Arabic letters in Al Quran.

God had reminded us about the Arabs in the past (9:97), so don't be fooled by those who argument by using Arabic literature in discussing about Al Quran, because Arabic Al Quran is not Arabic that used nowadays.

Yusuf Ali, Pickthall, Shakir, Sarwar, M. Khan, Maulana M. Ali and others are those who have good Arabic literature, but the translations of Al Quran that they have made completely out of context, and one thing that we should know that they are among the polytheists, so using their translations as a reference is a big mistake.

They totally do not know the relationship between the creation of Adam and Al Quran, and made them totally lost the concept of The Covenant, Al Masjid Al Haram , and Al Hajj in Al Quran.

They do not know the true story about Adam and his wife that made them live in this worldly life, and even they do not know how Prophet Muhammad died as per Al Quran.

I don't speak Arabic at all, but my Lord grant me knowledge of Al Quran that made me free from any group of religion, and made me become a follower of "millata ibrahim" (2:130, 3:95).

It's time to wake up from a long sleep.....

Peace,

Peace to all contributors,

'al masjid al haram' was one of the earliest compound noun studies I did of Quranic terms as understood in Arabic. It is a very important topic and my own view even when considered just based on physical terms, is that it does not represent an earthly location or place. This much I intuitively know, since all places and all directions belong to The God, He and only He, encompasses all of existence as our human minds can know, and everything more than that.

I have not yet had another attempt at interpreting it as my current understanding still stands above all other reasons that I have come across or noted since. The understanding itself is from at least 12 years ago and perhaps even longer than that.

It was and still is my view that this term means 'the acknowledgement of boundaries' that have been set by The God as the criteria in The Quran.

It is a boundary because the same root for h-r-m is translated as both 'sacred' and 'forbidden' so the opposite words are conveying that the meaning in between these concepts; the boundary which defines what is sacred and what is forbidden*.

A submitting servant of The God acknowledges that there are boundaries that have been set by The God as detailed in The Quran; that must be followed by believers. This is to determine their adherence to being on the righteous side of the balance when it comes to these boundaries.

A believer who reaches or enters 'amah' does so in their mental, and spiritual dimensions through adherence to the side of righteous justice always. The Quran provides the Criteria for determining this justice when instituted through validation using principles of not going to extremes other than in the pursuit of balance and righteousness as defined in The Quran. To steer the central course by avoiding the extremes of all kinds.

For believers the two important things that they can do for each other is to urge constantly for continuance in doing good works and righteous deeds. Always keeping the balance, repaying what is borrowed, safekeeping others entrusted things( including of orphans) for them and so on. And to urge each other towards patience, since the mind that has attained the certainty is in a state of loss for what they likely witness with their eyes, of the human condition, 'lefi husr'. That they must be patient until The God commands for all of them, on The Day when all things and accounts will be settled. Attaining this level of patience and urging others towards it, 'bi sabr', is another of the keys for believers.

All who enter that state of absolute certainty, The God willing, experience this as a reality in their lives. That they do righteous deeds, and that they are conscious of The God in all matters of their actions. How many millions or billions of people can be fitted into any one constructed building or city on earth at the one time is the real question here. Can a valley or any physically constructed place accomodate such a structure to allow billions to enter at once and stay there?

To the person of knowledge the matter should be settled. If one could attain that highest level of security by entering 'amah', then why would anyone ever leave it? 

The truth is that billions can and will enter this state of mind when they acknowledge that The God is their Creator and they respect the boundaries that The God has set. This state of mind can be attained by gaining certainty through increasing one's knowledge that all of it is decreed and prophesied; through a Divine revelation containing encoded information in its structure that links it authoritatively as the final index for millennia of revelation of the people of 'the book'. It proves itself as authoritative in numerical miracles, unveiled in significant ways and at significant times by prophet messengers.

The 'millet ibrahim' or 'station of Abraham', is not simply a worldly state, but is defined in the nature of the soul that recognises that it has the most direct connection to The God, without intercessors. The path of following The God alone is the path of Abraham. He was never of the associators. No exceptions or allowances for any associates. Let the souls of those who wish to enter this state pray that way to The God that it may be so.

The God says that to resurrect the 'recorded being' that you sense yourself to be, is easy for Him. He proves it by mathematical proofs which are brought to humanity from a person like amongst themselves.

The descriptions of paradise are ones that any believer understands stand merely as conceptual 'shadows' in place of a far superior reality in the reward itself. The destiny of resurrected souls is programmed in such a way that only those who have come to certainty of The God's Sovereignty achieve the most admirable goal of being of the nearest. This is something I believe can be achieved by The Nineteen Sign that is present within the gematria, semantics and the metrics of all previously revealed Scripture, showing pre-ordained numerical relationships linking the revelation of the mysteries to the destiny of the chosen servant. The God grants the mind that is pure in being a non-associator, the knowledge which unveils these things.

The recognition of these signs by other minds and souls is mentioned in 83:19 to be of the kind that recognises the 'kitabun marqum' 'the numerically structured book'. The key to the path to 'eleyyin', the destiny of those said to be of the highest levels of nearness to The God, in so far as submission and appreciation of His Utmost Level of Might and Mercy, goes.


*[The boundaries for the consumption of various animal derived proteins which I will not discuss in detail here (but in the dimension of sacrificial rituals adopted by religions, this boundary is important is so far as current traditional interpretations of sacrificial rituals of animals at various places are recorded such as at the 'amah').]

peace truth,
Have you ran your understanding through the summarised checklist here. I'm not sure how it would work with a number of them.


Summary and Discussion

Taking the above review of occurrences into account, a summarised reference list of the information extracted about 'al masjid al haram' will be shown below:

Glory be to the One who took with/by His servant (at) night from al maSJD al haram to al maSJD al aqsa which We have blessed around it that We may show him of Our signs.

We will surely turn thee (onto/to) a focal-point that will please thee: so turn thy face/purpose/consideration in the direction (of) al maSJD al haram and wherever that you are so turn your faces/purposes/considerations in its direction and indeed those who have been given the writ/decree know that it is the truth from their Lord.

Those to whom We have given the decree/writ recognise it like they recognise their sons; and indeed a group of them surely hides the truth while they know

from wherever thou start/come forth so turn thy face/purpose/consideration in the direction (of) al masjid al haram and wherever that you are so turn your faces/purposes/considerations in its direction so that not will be for the people against you debate, except those who wronged among them. So do not fear them, but fear Me and that I may complete My favour upon you and so that you may be guided.

And do not fight them AAinda/(in the presence of) al masjid al haram until they fight you in it

That is for one whose people are not at-hand/present (at) al masjid al haram

hindering from the way/path of God and to reject in it and (reject in) al masjid al haram, and expelling its people from it is a greater wrong AAinda/(in the presence of) God

And why should God not punish them while they hinder from al maSJD al haram, and they were not its guardians/protectors! Its guardians/protectors are the conscientious

those who have rejected/concealed and hinder from the path of God and al masjid al haram which We made for mankind, equal are the devotee/attached/resident in it and the bedouin/visitor/traveller, and whoever intends/wishes in it deviation (or) wrongdoing, We will make him taste from painful retribution.

They are those who concealed/rejected and hindered you from/concerning al maSJD al haram, and prevented the offering/gift from reaching its permitted/lawful place.

Certainly, God has confirmed His messenger's vision with truth/reality, surely you (plural) will enter al masjid al haram, if God wills, securing/trusting, unburdening/relieving your chiefs/representatives, and restraining/relinquishing not fearing.

And let not the hatred of a people because they hindered you from/concerning al masjid al haram; that you transgress.

those whom you made a pledge AAinda/(in the presence of) al masjid al haram.

Have you made the watering of those undertaking HaJJ and development/cultivation (of) al maSJD al haram like the one who believed in God and the Last Day and strived in the cause of God?

the polytheists are impure so let them not approach/near al maSJD al haram after this year of theirs; and if you fear poverty, then soon God will enrich you from His bounty
