i m just curious to find out why so many words at different places in Quran used for SIN/wrongdoings ?
i dnt even know how many roots i missed ? although i tried my best to find all the roots for sin..
i have an idea all translations are just guess-works when i look deep into dictionaries i felt all things drived from quran itself what other scholars used in their work/lane lexicon etc.. the so called meanings of different terms/words can be tested on the words or roots quran used only once and the early scholars were struggling finding the meanings...in those terms used just once..
most of the times the meanings are taken by the usage of that word in sentence..
do we have any work/book/poem in arabic before QURAN ?
There's something fishy going on i have feelings the meanings of lot of terms/words are changed/hijacked by early scholars.
