Assalam-o-alaikum
Dear brothers babadeena & behzadji,cheeko,truthseeker..
I think we easily blame Mullahs for being so arrogant & short tempered when discussing conflicting issues in DEEN..
But we are doing this same here.
Dear brothers please please calm down, recite AAOZU BILLAHI MINASH-SHAITAN-IR-RAJEEM.
When ever discuss anything regarding Islam, Quran or Sunnah, always recite taooz..
About this topic, sister faiza have clearly explained most humble point of view while respecting babadeena's point of view.
Dear babadeena, i highly respect you & your point of view that Quran is major source of information & hidayat to us as send by ALLAH to HIS prophet PBUH.
So it is our imaan that we should follow quran first, then if we dont find it we look & search into Hadith (sayings of our prophet PBUH).. So again if any hadith conflicts with sayings of Quran then it should be rejected.. I am sure all agree to that..
So if you want to confined yourself to Quran, then no one is forcing you to change it, its your choice.. Again when u take this kind of position then the other side will raise question that you will never be able to answer every question from Quran.. That is there will always be a hint in Quran about it but for explaination you will have to look towards hadith. Simple example as one brother presented is about 5 times salat (practised & accepted by all sects excluding shias)..
I think i & sister faiza have clearified that we respect your point of view, but it is also explained in Hadith that any one who dies (either in accident or natural death) will be dealt with by ALLAH according to his/her last condition of Imaan.
So if we call every one who die in accident as SHAHEED this will not make him/her shaheed. So it is ALLAH to decide what fate HE will decide for him/her..
Again after saying this point arises that, then why we are calling every one Shaheed who is killed in accident.. I think some times some religious call names or words become FASHION for example who ever have beared we call him MAULANA or MULLAH, even we dont know how he practise Islam & sunnah etc..
So to all brothers Cheeko, truthseeker, behzadji that always reply with HIKMAT.. In any Religious or Islamic debate dont think that we are in WRESTLING that we want to take other party down with force.. When we think like that SHAITAN comes in & harvest seeds of hate. Thus in result inspite of learning something we become enemy & it makes shaitan happy...
Please please ask forgiveness of ALLAH & be freind with all our brothers in Islam.. Thats why ULEMA discourage these kind of debates as without knowledge we harvest Hate... Please please i beg you that if we have different point of views on a specific topic or point try to convince other with logic & hikmat..
On the base of proofs, if some one accepts Quranic proofs then do it on his terms not our term. As by doing so you will learn more & insha ALLAH , ALLAH will help you.
=====================
Please forgive me on this long lecture, but i could not stop my self.. As these kinds of debates will make admin & mods of siasat.pk to decide against all future religious topic.. I have fought with bro waseem & abbasi bhai for not stopping some religious topics because i thought that they were informative & important for all muslims..
Thanks to ALLAH & Jaza-k-ALLAH that both have always kept my point.. ALLAH INKO KHUSH RAKHAY..
==================
So debate yes, but with logic, hikmat & respect for others..
JAZA-K-ALLAH...

I hope everyone here can read Urdu and shall understand to avoid such kind of GUMAN if title SHAHEED is awarded accordance to teaching of Islam or not!
Having said that let me dare to ask question to Baba Deena and I shall PASSIONATELY wait for him to answer me:
How Many Rasool and Ambiya Alaih e Salam were sent by Allah in this world?
What are their names?
If you cant find name of any Rasool or Nabi in Quran so shall you consider him a true Nabi or Rasool?
If yes then why as their name is not mentioned in Quran, if no then I dont need a reason as YOU SHALL FOLLOW WHATSOEVER IS MENTIONED IN QURAN!
But if you dont believe then then ARE YOU BE TITLED AS MUSLIM!!!!!!!!!
WAITING WITH SUCH PASSION AS YOU HAVE PASSION WITH QURAN.

Thanks God, that you have not pasted whole of Quran in your post. The verses which you have pasted have nothing to do
with the topic. If you mean by pasting these out of context verses that I am making Gumman or Conjecturing, then I take
my Allah's refuge from your baseless accusations. I base everything foremostly on Quran and my question is being
supported by Quran. You give me a single verse from Quran where Allah has stated that "Those who have been
killed(Yaqtal) in wars are Shaheed", if you cannot find and Inshallah you will not find, then simply say that it is
not available in Quran.
Now your Question for which you "Passionately" are waiting: which is "How many Rasools and Nabis sent and what are their names, and if you
will not find their names in Quran......etc. etc. bla bla bla""""".
If our Prophet(PBUH) was not told the names of all Prophet/Rasools, then where I stand. This is your childish and
immature question. You wish to have proof from Quran, read verse 4:164. Ok I give you readily:
وَرُسُلًا قَدْ قَصَصْنَاهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَرُسُلًا لَمْ نَقْصُصْهُمْ عَلَيْكَ ۚ وَكَلَّمَ اللَّهُ مُوسَىٰ تَكْلِيمًا
[SIZE=-1]And messengers We have mentioned unto thee before and messengers We have not mentioned unto thee; and Allah spake directly unto Moses;
Now you please do not bring irrelevant things into the topic. If you have anything on topic, please give, otherwise
no more childish questions.

I wonder when you say that those who are killed by the bomb blasts or any other terrorist activity, they are not not slain in the way of Allah. Let me ask you a question. When a person leaves his house in the morning to seek some rizq-e-halal, is he not going in the way of Allah? He is fulfilling the Allah's order to obtain that rizq-e-halal.So if he is killed, should he be not considered as shaheed as he has died while striving for the cause of Allah.
I would recommend that if you don't agree to the above point then please avoid expressing your point to someone whose relatives have been killed in any terrorist activity otherwise they might make you shaheed like their relatives----------------------

That is called natural death. "No soul knows in which place it is going to die" And If no soul knows in which place it is going to die
then automatically no soul knows how it is going to die (unless convicted with capital punishment). You have to understand the
different between (yamoot) and (killed)(Qatal) to understand anything from the topic. Why dont you or anyone else give
a single verse from Quran wherein Allah has termed those who are killed in wars as "Shaheeds", If you do not find, just
accept that Allah has not given this title to anyone in Quran. He has used word Qatal. and the person is Maqtool.

I agree to it more than hundred percent. But about the concept of Shaheed, as long as
with reference to Quran, I hundred percent agree to PAINDO post No.3 in the beginning.

The Quranic meaning of the word 'Shaheed'

The concept of Shaheed, as interpreted by some to mean a martyr, is totally un-Quranic. According to the traditional Muslim scholars, anyone who is murdered, drowns or is killed in a fire becomes a Shaheed (martyr) and goes to heaven. This concept is without any Quranic support.
The Quran stresses the fact that the manner by which the human dies is totally irrelevant to his/her destination in the hereafter. The disbelievers and the idol-worshippers are destined for hell, no matter how they die. On the other hand, the believers who lead a righteous life, go to heaven, once again no matter how they die.
This incorrect belief is the result of the misinterpretation of the following verse:
"Those who immigrate for the sake of God, then get killed, or die, God will surely shower them with good provisions" 22:58
The traditional scholars took the words "get killed" to indicate that the act of (getting killed) is what made them become 'Shaheed' (martyr) and thus entitles them to go to heaven. They have forgotten that the verse also includes the words "or die" (i.e. a natural death). In other words they are still destined for heaven even if they die naturally. It is the work of those believers that get them to heaven and not the way they have died.
In 22:58 God is stating that he will shower these believers with good provisions, not because they were killed, but because they lived for the cause of God.
Moreover, the word 'shaheed' in the Quran does not mean martyr at all. The word 'shaheed' in the Quran means witness. An example is given in the following verse:
"The day will come when we will raise from every community a 'Shaheed' (witness) from among them." 16:89
In 3:98, God calls Himself a 'Shaheed' which obviously does not mean that God is a martyr!
"Say, "O followers of the scripture, why do you reject these revelations of God, when God is a Witness over everything you do?" 3:98
For the correct meaning of the word Shaheed (Witness) please also see 6:19, 34:47, 16:84, 22:78, 4:41, 4:159, 50:21, 2:143.

Sorry I missed to read this post, may be because the font size was 10, some time when I am reading a lot, its hard for me to read any thing with small font size.
Come to the point, it describe very well about the meaning of shaheed.

Wow man I never thought you are so genious !

//Your stance is that if you cam't find anything in Quran is not BELIEVABLE as word Shaheed is not used for the ones who get killed in way of Allah so you are in doubt whether you may call them Shaheed or not.//

If you study rules of "MANAZARA" (Debate) for example RASHIDIYA then you must know about "NAQS E DALEEL" that what I did.

The point I elaborated was quite clear if you can't find anything in Quran DOESN'T MEAN THAT IS NOT BELIEVABLE.

That's why I asked about names of Rasool and Nabi mentioned in Quran but look at your reply:

//If our Prophet(PBUH) was not told the names of all Prophet/Rasools, then where I stand.//

CAN YOU PROVE THIS FROM QURAN IF OUR PROPHET WAS NOT TOLD NAMES OF ALL PROPHET?

Secondly our discussion was based on Quran, it was very easy for me to mention if word Shaheed is uttered by Rasool Allah Sal Lallah o Alaih Wasalam or not but did I quote that?

Why did you mention if our Rasool Sal Lallah o Alaih Wasalam was told names or not?

Did I ask you to prove it from saying of Rasool Allah Sal Lallah o Alaih Wasalam?

Thirdly may I dare you to ask to QOUTE ANY AYAH WHICH SAYS "EATING DONKEY IS HARAM", so if you can't find it in Quran and that you can never then SHALL YOU START EATING DONKEY as Quran has not forbidden it.

Please do answer this as I am PASSIONATELY WAITING FOR NEXT LEVEL that is I shall ask you to prove "KALMA E TAYYIBA" and all other five Kalmas from Quran, titles of Rasool Allah Sal Lallah o Alaih Wasalam (Sadiq o Ameen), 99 Sifati Names of Allah and Rasool Allah Sal Lallah o Alaih Wasalam from Quran.

It is just a start my dear!!!!!!!!

First of all, its an excellent topic u started, i am quite amazed as to how did u came up wid this idea!! really! thumbs up to u.... a knowledgeable discussion on anything is very healthy for growth of knowledge.... Asking question is necessary inorder to gain knowledge...

I dont want to reply until i am clear myself.... u have replied but again the comments and ur replies have confused me about wat is ur actual point here... u mean to say tht if there is no verse in Quran describing tht the title of Shaheed can be inscribed to those who are killed in the way of ALLAH ---- v shall also not call them SHAHEED as this word actually means WITNESS whenever it is used in QURAN, M I RYT OR M I CONFUSED?

Bcoz if i m ryt i wud like to agree wid TRUTH SEEKER about the point tht not everything is mentioned in QURAN.... v have to look towards HUZOOR for answers. What do u say about this...

I agree wid BIO-MAT tht v shud keep this discussion as polite as possible...

Thanks Faiza., let us see how discussion goes ahead. Unfortunately, except
PAINDO, no one has given any to the point replies. Later, I will like to
share about death of a human being. but first let us see how discussion
proceeds.

Please check my earlier post (no.24) in reply to Brother Biomat. your points have been
covered already there.

@Truth Seeker,
Before I should waste my energy on your childish question, either you have
to produce a verse from Quran about shaheed, or you have to accept that
there is no such verse in Quran. I know very well how to keep a person
to the point and to thread-specific. Beyond Thread/topic I avoid discussion.
it is your choice. If you did not find any verse, then be kind at least to
paste the Hadith with on line reference also about Shaheed. If you cannot
then restrict yourself to read what others are writing.

Quran can't be understood in isolation without the ahadiths. This is the matter of principle and I think we are not having any authority to decide a principal to find each and every thing from the Quran. There are several examples and I would like to mention here only one of them. As you know that our Holy Prophet(SallAllahu Aleyhe Wasallam)'s uncle Hazrat Hamza(Radhi Allah Unhu) when martyred in the battle of Uhud, did he give any witness to the public for which he was declared as Sayyad-ush-Shuhada by the Holy Prophet(SallAllahu Aleyhe Wasallam)? No but it was because he laid his life and got murdered in the way of Allah(Subhanahu). So please don't try to seek each and every word from quran to get a proof. Otherwise if someone would ask you to give a proof of eating rice from the Quran and ask you to find the word of rice from the Quran, what would you do? Would you stop eating rice?-----------

Behzad bhai, the quran can be understood ok on its own or rather it is necessary to do so but we cannot act on its commandments properly wihtout some relevant ahadith to tell us how to do things as required by the quran eg how to perform slah or read namaaz. So ahadith help us understnd sunnah ie how prophet responded to the message he got.

002.154 YUSUFALI: And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: "They are dead." Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not.

Basically word shahid means witness but bearing witness to the truth even to the death in the cause of allah earns them title shaheed. Allah says do not call them dead hence people call them shaheed.

[FONT=&quot][39] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Is He to have daughters and you sons?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][40] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do you ask them payment for your services, that they should fear to be overburdened by a debt?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][41] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do they have the knowledge of the unseen? Can they write it down?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][42] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do they intend to devise a plot against you? If so, the opposers of Allah's guidance themselves will be trapped in their own plot.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][43] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do they have a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah, far above those deities they[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]associate with Him.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][44] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They think such high of themselves that, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]even if they saw the world fall apart, they would say: It is just a passing cloud and once it is over they will be back in business as usual.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][45] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon with terror.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][46] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The Day when their designs will avail them nothing and none will help them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][47] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Surely for such wicked people, there is another punishment besides that, even though most of them do not realize that.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][48] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Therefore, wait for the Judgment of your Lord with patience, You are surely before our eyes so establish Glory of your Lord gratefully the while your mission is ongoing. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][49] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and work for his glory for a part of the night and at the time when the stars fade away and morning arrives.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] [1] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]By the guidance that comes down,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][2] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]your companion (Muhammad) is neither astray, nor misguided,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][3] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]nor does he attribute anything to Allah out of his own desire[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][4] rather [/FONT][FONT=&quot]this Qur’an is revealed to him as a revelation.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][5] which [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He is taught by the one full of strength;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][6] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]the one with power has thus perfected him [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][7] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To the highest standard[/FONT][FONT=&quot], for guidance of mankind.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][8] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]For[/FONT][FONT=&quot] he approached wisdom intellectually and got to the stage whereby he could benefit from our revelation so we completed his circuit of knowledge with Quran.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][9] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]like joining of[/FONT][FONT=&quot]two bows that make the circle complete,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][10] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and thus Allah revealed to Muhammadthe Quran that He wanted to reveal.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][11] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and that is why [/FONT][FONT=&quot]his heart did not deny that about which he was given insight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][12] [/FONT]Will you then fight with him over what he has learned that you have not bothered with?[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][13] [/FONT]He can refer to the guidance any time henceforth[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][14] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To reach the ultimate point of tree of knowledge beyond which none can pass[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][15] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]wherein rests garden of ultimate bliss. [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][16] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Before he knew this the tree of knowledge was surrounded in mystery. [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][17] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He never give up on learning nor was he disappointed about it:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][18] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]because he did indeed come across some of his Lord’s great lessons.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][19] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]But have you O Muhammad seen any evidence in your lessons for Al-Laat and Al-Uzza[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][20] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and another, the third Al-Manaat the polytheists' deities? Of course, not.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][21] Say, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]are you to have sons, and Allah, the daughters?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][22] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]This indeed is an unfair division![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][23] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]These deitiesare nothing but names which you and your forefathershave invented, for Allah has vested no authority in them. The opposers follownothing but mere conjectures and the wicked ambitions of their own, even though the rightguidance of Allah has already come to them from their Lord.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][24] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Or should man have whatever he wishes?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][25] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Nay! To Allah belongs the hereafter as well as this present life.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][26] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]How many forces are there in the heavens yet they can benefit none in any way unless[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Allah let people benefit of them by learning to utilize them effectively.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][27] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Yet[/FONT][FONT=&quot]those who believe not in guidance of Allah instead of learning about the forces and thereby benefitting of them give them female names and attribute to them divinity[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][28] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]about which they have no real knowledge[/FONT][FONT=&quot]. They just follow conjecture and conjecture surely avails not at all against the knowledge based on solid proof.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][29] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Therefore expect not much of those who ignore Our warnings and seek only the life of this world as par their wicked ambitions.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][30] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]This is the sum of their knowledge. Surely your Lord knows who have strayed from His path, and who are rightly guided.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][31] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, so that He requites those who do harm to others according to their deeds, and richly reward those who do good to others for their deeds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][32] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To those who avoid doing the major harms against others that bring grave shame and are guilty of only small offenses, surely for them your Lord will have abundant forgiveness. He knew you well when He created you from earth and when you were just embryos in your mother’s wombs, therefore, do not claim piety for yourselves. He knows the best of you who is really mindful of God and is really free of doing harm to others and instead is very helpful to those who need his help.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][33] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Have you seen the one who[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]turned[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]away when people ask him for help?[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][34] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]He gives a little then stops again.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][35] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Does he possess the knowledge of the unseen so that he could see reality of those who do things like this?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][36] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Or has he not been notified about what was in the scrolls of Moses[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][37] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and of Abraham who always kept his word:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][38] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]That none shall bear the burden of another,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][39] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that there shall be nothing for a man except what he strives for,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][40] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that his striving shall be scrutinized,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][41] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that he shall be fully rewarded for it,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][42] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that to your Lord is the final return,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][43] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that it is He Who grants laughter and tears,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][44] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that it is He Who ordains death and life,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][45] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that it is He Who has created in pairs, the male and the female,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][46] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]from a sperm and an ovum,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][47] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that it rests upon Him to grant the second life,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][48] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]that it is He Who bestows necessities and luxuries of life by his order and effort of people to give them satisfaction and peace thereby,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][49][/FONT][FONT=&quot] for[/FONT][FONT=&quot]He is also Lord of intelligence and realisation.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][50] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and that it is He Who destroyed the people of ‘Ad for not using their intelligence,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][51] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]then the people of Thamud, sparing no one,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][52] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and before them the people of Noah, who were the most unjust and rebellious.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][53] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]And also destroyed the (Lo's) cities that were overthrown[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][54] they[/FONT][FONT=&quot] were all smitten by the foretold scourge that smote them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][55] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Then which of your Lord’s blessings would you doubt?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][56] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]This Warner (Muhammad) is just like the warners of the past people.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][57] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The ever approaching promised day is drawing near;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][58] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]none but Allah can disclose it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][59] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do you then wonder at this revelation,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][60] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and laugh instead of weeping?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][61] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Rather you are wasting your time in opposing our guidance,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][62] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]instead submit[/FONT][FONT=&quot]yourselves to Allah and believe in Him the while you can![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]54 MAKAH AL-QAMAR – FULL MOON BANNER 37[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][1] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The Hour of revolution is drawing near, the people with full moon on their banner are about to fall apart, [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][2] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Yet when the opposers of our guidance see an evidence they turn their backs on it and their chiefs tell them: This is an ingenious trick to deceive you.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][3] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Thus they deny our guidance and keep on following their own wicked ambitions but every matter has a set time for it to gradually come to pass.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][4] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]There has already come to them the information of former nations containing enough deterrents[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][5] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and profound wisdom to serve as a warning, but warnings are of no use to people like these.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][6] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Therefore, O Prophet, let them be what they wish to be. On the Day when the caller will call them to a terrible event.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][7] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They shall come out from their dwellings, like swarming locusts, with downcast eyes,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][8] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]rushing towards the caller and the same opposers of our word will cry: This is indeed an awful Day![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][9] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Long before them, the people of Noah denied our guidance and opposed him. They rejected Our servant, called him a madman and drove him out from among them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][10] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]After advising them for a long time[/FONT][FONT=&quot]finally he cried out: Help me, O Lord, I have been overwhelmed by these people![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][11] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So We let open the gates of divine destruction like pouring rain[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][12] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and let the land to burst with troubles like gushing springs, thus we watered down the ambitions of wicked people as per our decreed end for them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][13] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We burdened him with set of revelations for moving forward the people with him,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][14] so the team [/FONT][FONT=&quot]journeyed on under Our care: a reward for him who was denied and driven out.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][15] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have left that story as a lesson, so is there any who would take it as an advice?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][16] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]How terrible was My scourge and how clear was My warning![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][17] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have indeed made the Qur’an very easy as a guidance: but is there any who would take the advice?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][18] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Likewise the people of 'Ad did not believe then how terrible was My scourge and how clear My Warning![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][19] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We let loose on them a tornado of evolution, on the day of their bitter misfortune,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][20] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]which snatched them off like trunks of uprooted palm-trees.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][21] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][22] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have indeed made the Qur’an very easy for guidance, so is there any who would heed the advice?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][23] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The people of Thamud denied Our warning,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][24] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]saying: Are we to follow a human who stands alone among us? That would surely be an error and a madness.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][25] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Was he the only person among us to receive this warning? Nay! He is indeed an insolent liar.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][26] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To Our Messenger Saleh, We said: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Tomorrow they shall find out who is an insolent liar.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][27] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We are going to send the law as a trial for them. Therefore, watch them and have patience.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][28] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Tell them that the law must be same between them, and each one must follow the law as appropriate.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][29] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]At last the people of Thamud called out to one of their companions, who took the responsibility and killed the divine order in the land.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][30] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Then how terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][31] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We let loose on them one mighty blast by way of revolution and they became like the trampled twigs used by a fence builder.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][32] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have indeed made the Qur’an very easy for guidance, so is there any who would[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]heed the advice?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][33] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Another example is [/FONT][FONT=&quot]the people of Lot who denied Our warning.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][34] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We let loose on them a stone-charged tornado of people who attacked them which spared none except Lot’s household, whom We saved by early dawn[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][35] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]through Our grace. Thus do We reward those who give thanks.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][36] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Lot [/FONT][FONT=&quot]did warn them of Our scourge but they doubted his warnings.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][37] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They were so low that they would not leave alone even his guests from their troubles so We let them remain ignorant of light of guidance, and said: be ready to taste My punishment and the result of ignoring My warning.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][38] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]At daybreak they were overtaken by an attack that became inevitable [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][39] so we said[/FONT][FONT=&quot]: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Now taste My punishment and the result of ignoring My warning.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][40] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have indeed made the Qur’an very easy for guidance, so is there any who would take our advice?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][41] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]My warnings also came to the people of Pharaoh.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][42] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]They disbelieved all Our signs. Consequently, We seized them with a seizure of the Mighty, Powerful.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][43] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So, is[/FONT][FONT=&quot] your opposition stronger than your past like minded friends, or have you been granted an immunity in our Sacred Books?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][44] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Or, do they say: Acting together, we can defend ourselves?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][45] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Soon will their multitude be routed and put to flight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][46] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Nay! The hour of revolutionis a time promised. That hour will be the most grievous and bitter.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][47] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Yet, surely the wicked people persist in error and madness.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][48] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]On that Day when they will be dragged into the painful suffering with their faces downwards, We shall say: Feel the touch of destruction![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][49] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Surely We have created everything for a set purpose and in proper measure.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][50] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We initiate the process but once and Our plan is fulfils as easily as the twinkling of an eye.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][51] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]O opposers of our guidance, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]We have already destroyed many like you. Will you not take advice and reform?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][52] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]All that they do is being added to their record books:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][53] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]every action, small and big is being noted down.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][54] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Surely those who do good for others will be in the midst of gardens and rivers,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][55] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]a place of true honour, in the presence of Almighty Sovereign.[/FONT]

In reply to "WORD SHAHEED IN QURAN"

Little knowledge is always dangerous and I am afraid Baba Deena & Cronies should learn some lesson from this quote and dont make any conclusion before consulting scholars.

Allah says in Quran:

فَسْـَٔلُوۡۤا اَہۡلَ الذِّکْرِ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوۡنَ

تو اے لوگو علم والوں سے پوچھو اگر تمہیں علم نہ ہو

So do consult scholars as it is not matter of ordinary trial and error rather it may take away most precious thing that is your Iman.

Baba Deena has challenged to quote any single Ayah which says people who are killed in way of Allah could be titled Shaheed.

Initially I tried to make a point if you cant find anything in Quran doesnt always mean that it is not accordance with teaching of Islam but I think Baba Gee is too old to understand this.

I am also disappointed with Paindoo who claimed this concept to be un-Quranic.

Now lets realise reality:

Allah says in Surah Nisa Ayah No. 69:

وَمَنۡ یُّطِعِ اللہَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ فَاُولٰٓئِکَ مَعَ الَّذِیۡنَ اَنْعَمَ اللہُ عَلَیۡہِمۡ مِّنَ النَّبِیّٖنَ وَالصِّدِّیۡقِیۡنَ وَالشُّہَدَآءِ وَالصّٰلِحِیۡنَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ اُولٰٓئِکَ رَفِیۡقًا

اور جو اللّٰہ اور اس کے رسول کا حکم مانے تو اُسے ان کا ساتھ ملے گا جن پر اللّٰہ نے فضل کیا یعنی انبیاء اور صدیق اور شہید اور نیک لوگ یہ کیا ہی اچھے ساتھی ہیں

Translation By Marmaduke Pickthall:

Whoso obeyeth Allah and the messenger, they are with those unto whom Allah hath shown favour, of the prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous. The best of company are they!

Translation By Arthur J. Arberry:

Whosoever obeys God, and the Messenger -- they are with those whom God has blessed, Prophets, just men, martyrs, the righteous; good companions they!

Translation By Martin Lings:

[4:69]
with those upon whom God hath lavished His favour, the Prophets and the Saints and the Martyrs and the Righteous, most excellent for communion are they. [SCR-SA]

with those upon whom God hath showered His favour, the prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous, most excellent for communion are they. [M]

with those upon whom God hath showered His favour, the prophets and the sages and the martyrs and the righteous, most excellent for communion are they. [SA]

with the Prophets and the sages and the martyrs and the righteous; excellent are they in companionship. [L-PT]

with the Prophets and the sages and the martyrs and the righteous; excellent in companionship are they. [L-PT]

Translation By Mufti Taqi Usmani:

[4:69]
Those who obey Allah and the Messenger are with those whom Allah has blessed, namely, the prophets, the Siddiqīn, the Shuhadā and the righteous. And excellent are they as companions.

Translation By Ibrahim Walk:

[4:69]
And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger - those will be with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions.

Translation of Kanzul Iman (Ahmad Raza Khan):

[Nisa 4:69] And whoever obeys Allah and His Noble Messenger, will be with those upon whom Allah has bestowed grace - that is, the Prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the virtuous; and what excellent companions they are!

Translation By Dr. Tahir ul Qadri:

69. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), they are the people who shall be in the company of those (spiritual dignitaries on the Last Day) whom Allah has blessed with His (special) favour: the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs and the Most Pious. And how excellent these companions are!

Translation By Dr. Mohsin Khan:

69. And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqoon (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremostto believe in them, like Abu Bakr AsSiddiq ), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!


Translation By Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi:


And who-so-ever obeys Allah and the Messenger, shall be with those whom Allah has blessed-the Prophets, the truthful and the martyrs and the righteous


Translation By Dar us Salam Publications:

69. And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqun (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them, like Abu Bakr As-Siddiq ), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!


Translation By Idara Ishat ul Quran:

And whoso obeys God and the Messenger, they are with those whom God has blessed, the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs and the Righteous; and excellent companions are they!(69)

In this way I can quote so many other scholars as well who have used Martyrs while translating Shaheed.


Now lets move to Tafaseer:

I reckon its enough for someone to believe people who get killed in way of Allah to be titled SHAHEED and it is Quranic concept.

“Little knowledge is always dangerous” and I am afraid Baba Deena & Cronies should learn some lesson from this quote and don’t make any conclusion before consulting scholars.
Allah says in Quran:
[FONT=Quranic_Font]فَسْـَٔلُوۡۤا اَہۡلَ الذِّکْرِ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوۡنَ[/FONT]
تو اے لوگو علم والوں سے پوچھو اگر تمہیں علم نہ ہو
So do consult scholars as it is not matter of ordinary trial and error rather it may take away most precious thing that is your Iman.
Baba Deena has challenged to quote any single Ayah which says people who are killed in way of Allah could be titled “Shaheed”.
Initially I tried to make point if you can’t find anything in Quran doesn’t always mean that it is not accordance with teaching of Islam but I think Baba Gee is so old to understand this.
I am also disappointed with Paindoo who claimed this concept to be un-Quranic.
Now let’s realise reality:
Allah says in Surah Nisa Ayah No. 69:
[FONT=Quranic_Font]وَمَنۡ یُّطِعِ اللہَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ فَاُولٰٓئِکَ مَعَ الَّذِیۡنَ اَنْعَمَ اللہُ عَلَیۡہِمۡ مِّنَ النَّبِیّٖنَ وَالصِّدِّیۡقِیۡنَ وَالشُّہَدَآءِ وَالصّٰلِحِیۡنَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ اُولٰٓئِکَ رَفِیۡقًا[/FONT]
اور جو اللّٰہ اور اس کے رسول کا حکم مانے تو اُسے ان کا ساتھ ملے گا جن پر اللّٰہ نے فضل کیا یعنی انبیاء اور صدیق اور شہید اور نیک لوگ یہ کیا ہی اچھے ساتھی ہیں
Translation By Marmaduke Pickthall:
[4:69]
Whoso obeyeth Allah and the messenger, they are with those unto whom Allah hath shown favour, of the prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous. The best of company are they!

Translation By Arthur J. Arberry:
[4:69]
Whosoever obeys God, and the Messenger -- they are with those whom God has blessed, Prophets, just men, martyrs, the righteous; good companions they!

Translation By Martin Lings:

…with those upon whom God hath lavished His favour, the Prophets and the Saints and the Martyrs and the Righteous, most excellent for communion are they. [SCR-SA]

Those who obey Allah and the Messenger are with those whom Allah has blessed, namely, the prophets, the Siddiqīn, the Shuhadā’ and the righteous. And excellent are they as companions.

Translation By Ibrahim Walk:
[4:69]
And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger - those will be with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions.

Translation of Kanzul Iman (Ahmad Raza Khan):
[Nisa 4:69] And whoever obeys Allah and His Noble Messenger, will be with
those upon whom Allah has bestowed grace - that is, the Prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the virtuous; and what excellent companions they are!
Translation By Dr. Tahir ul Qadri:
69. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), they are the people who shall be in the company of those (spiritual dignitaries on the Last Day) whom Allah has blessed with His (special) favour: the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs and the Most Pious. And how excellent these companions are!
Translation By Dr. Mohsin Khan:
69. And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqoon (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremostto believe in them, like Abu Bakr AsSiddiq ), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!

Translation By Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi:

And who-so-ever obeys Allah and the Messenger, shall be with those whom Allah has blessed-the Prophets, the truthful and the martyrs and the righteous

Translation By Dar us Salam Publications:
69. And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqun (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them, like Abu Bakr As-Siddiq ), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!

Translation By Idara Ishat ul Quran:
And whoso obeys God and the Messenger, they are with those whom God has blessed, the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs and the Righteous; and excellent companions are they!(69)
In this way I can quote so many other scholars as well who have used “Martyrs” while translating “Shaheed”.

Dear friends, raising questions is absolutely necessary for learning new things and it is very important to review and readjust our ideas and positions.

If you look at judicial set up all cases are allowed appeals and reviews because of new evidences or new way of looking at the existing evidences.

The quran is like an ocean that has no bounds so none can claim that they know all at any time. By stopping people from enquiry we are actually saying we are not interesting in learning any more.

No sensible person fights rather all are grateful to anyone for bringing to our attention that we did not know before or did not realise before.

There are so many verses in the quran telling us to ponder over things and not to follow anyone without ensuring first that what we are following is right and evidence based.

So please help make discussions intersting and a source for learning. Knowledge is never useless. The more we have it the more we need it.

As for childish people, if they cannot behave themselves then they should be kept out of discussions after a couple of warnings instead of not allowing discussions.

On any pakistani forums it is necessary to discuss thorny issues till we solve them because without getting to the bottom of all this, we are not going to get together to concentrate on other things. Each time an issue is raised religion comes into it because some how things have religious aspects that must be addessed properly so that we do not have fighting any more between us over any issue that has any importance. We must have a united front and a single agreed opinion when it is important to do so.

As for how to solve differences, it is simple. We raise a question or problem then talk it over between us asking each and evrery peron their opinion on that issue and there evidences for their that opinion. Once we all have had a say to our satisfaction then we cross examine those opinions one by one and see which one comes out on the top with which all of us are happy. So we vote it as united stand on that matter till anything better comes along.

Otherwise we cannot talk about amr bil maroof and nahin anil mun-kar. Each time some one says this is good some one else will say this is bad so we will end up in civil wars over things if we do not work things out so that whatever difference we have we must have a united front as nation.

So long as we have proof and are able to prove it about anything it will force us towards unity but all other matters for which there are little or no evidences we must refrain from making them battle grounds. If those things were that important religion wise then there ought to be solid evidence to support that position. The lack of real proof proves that that matter is not important and so anyone is free to take it as one wishes.

If we do not adopt this approach no matter what else we do our nation will never be a nation and our state will never change.

It is for this reason that I am here to see if I can make any useful contributions for the good of all of us and our country. There is obviously a relationship between creative mind, inventions and asking questions. Nations that raise such generations advance their civilization and make progress. Nations that shut their minds remain stagnent and regress instead and so they drive themselves out of existence.

regards and all the best.


[FONT=&amp][/FONT]Surah 55 AR-RAHMAN–The One Who cares 97

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

[1] The One Who is Full of Grace for mankind

[2] has revealed His knowledge in form of the Qur’an

[3] to bring about humanity in the world

[4] by teaching it how to manifest and assert itself in the universe,

[5] For this purpose He setup the sun and the moon in action according to His set laws in the universe.

[6] The stars in the cosmic space and the trees in the earth come about and work according to his laws in every way.

[7] Moreover He brought about the universe and He setup the scale of relativity as reference,

[8] so that you the mankind also never transgress Our set scale of limits relative to each other.

[9] Therefore establish the valuation of things properly for the good of mankind and do not cause loss and harm to each other by transgressing the limits in weighing and evaluating things.

[10] Therefore He made ready the earth with provision for all creatures,

[11] with all its fruits and palms having sheathed clusters,

[12] and grain with husk and scented herbs.

[13] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[14] He began origin of mankind with formation of a living cell with components extracted from the clay containing liquid having potential to bring about human beings, developing it stage by stage and species by species till came about the human species and formed the human character like clay is moulded into a shape,

[15] and He brought about species of creatures before mankind that are now extinct, for they were brought while earth was still hot, which could only live in environment that was hot.

[16] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[17] He is the sustainer Who brought about four seasons in both the hemispheres.

[18] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[19] He has made the two bodies of the water apparently meeting together

[20] yet between them is a barrier which they cannot cross.

[21] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[22] He produces pearls and coral from both of them.

[23] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[24] His are the ships looming up like mountains on the sea.

[25] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[26] All that exists is constantly made to go through changes

[27] yet the origin of all of it is same as designed by majesty of your Lord.

[28] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[29] All that is in the heavens and the earth depends on Him for their needs, His laws are constantly busy bringing about new things and eliminating the old.

[30] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[31] Soon We will settle your affairs, O you the destructive political leadership and destructive religious leadership.

[32] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[33] So O you both the groups of destructive chiefs and their destructive followers, if you have the power to get away from Our jurisdiction of the heavens and the earth to save yourselves from consequences of your actions then get away, surely you cannot unless by way of accepting Our sovereignty and following Our program.

[34] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[35] The flames of fire of hatred and choking animosity will be unleashed upon you when the reaction takes place then you will not be able to save yourselves.

[36] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[37] Because the universal revolt will burst forth like a river full of fire.

[38] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[39] On that day neither group of destructive political leadership nor of destructive religious leadership will need to be asked about its crimes against God and humanity.

[40] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[41] Because the criminals will be obvious through stress and worry on their faces and they will be caught due to their destructive plots and steps against others.

[42] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[43] It will be said to them, this is the hell of your own making which you the culprits denied could happen to you.

[44] They will make rounds between their self created fire of hatred and the raging animosity looking for escape route or excuses.

[45] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[46] As for those who pay attention to the consequences of their actions as told by their Lord there are two blissful worlds, in here and in hereafter.

[52] In both of them there will be fruits alike for their hard works.

[53] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[54] They will base themselves on standards of decency and dignity as communities and their minds will be well interconnected full of creative ideas and designs like rich brocade therefore the fruits of their self created blissful worlds will be well within their easy reach.

[55] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[56] Because in them is ability to keep their eyes firmly on the goals so they cannot be exploited by elements against them from nearby or from a distanse.

[57] So which of the provisions of your Lord will you both the groups of destructive political and destructive religious leadership deny to His creatures?

[58] So beautifully they get on with each other as though they were rubies and corals appropriately placed in a necklace.

[60] Could the reward for those who do their best for others be anything other than the best because others also do the same for them?

[68] Each planted with fruit trees, dates and pomegranates.

[78] Such blissful is program in the name of your Lord to Whom belongs Majesty and Honour.




[FONT=&amp]Surah 56 AL-WAQI‘AH – The Inevitable Revolution [/FONT]


[FONT=&amp]In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][1] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]When the inevitable revolution comes to pass[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][2] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and no doubt it will come to pass. [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][3] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]The harmful and destructive system of government will be uprooted and the proper system will be installed.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][4] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Then the uneven landscape of humanity will be evened out[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][5] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]because the heavy weights of the society will lose their influence all of a sudden[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][6] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and become disorientated like scattered dust.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][7] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Then you will become divided into three groups.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][8] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Those on the right side of the divine program, how prosperous will be the people on the right side of divine law.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][9] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]those on the wrong side of the divine program, how damned will be the people on the wrong side of divine law.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][10] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Moreover foremost people in the revolution will be the foremost in achieving the results according to the divine program[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][11] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]because they will be faithfully stuck to Allah’s program[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][12][/FONT][FONT=&amp] ending up in the world full of bliss.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][13] [/FONT]A party of those who would have struggled earlier for the good of mankind.

[FONT=&amp][14] [/FONT]And some of those who would have struggled later for the good of mankind.

[FONT=&amp][15] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]They will be on the thrown of dignity as jewels in the crown,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][16][/FONT][FONT=&amp] Ensuring mutual dignity,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][17] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]And[/FONT]their ever lively children will be going around happily serving their community

[FONT=&amp][18] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]with bundles of livelihood as per their needs like pleasant drinks from the flowing rivers in goblets, shining beakers and cups of pure wine,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][19] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]that will neither make them feel hardship nor make them feel fed up with sense of responsibility like a pleasant drink that neither pains the heads of drinkers nor takes away their senses.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][20] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]They shall have fruits of their own hard work,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][21] [/FONT]the ultimate delicacies of life

[FONT=&amp][22] [/FONT]and loving and intelligent spouses with great vision

[FONT=&amp][23] [/FONT]like valuable pearls well guarded, far from corruption

[FONT=&amp][24] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]as a reward of their own hard work that they would have done.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][25] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Therein these people will not hear any harmful talk nor destructive words against each other[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][26] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]but only the assuring words by one to other, I want to ensure peace for you and the other replying, I too want to ensure peace for you too.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][27] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Such will be the people who will be on the right side of the divine program, what a happy people will be those on the right side of divine law! [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][28] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]They shall be in thornless orchards of fruit trees,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][29] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]clusters of fruits like bananas,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][30] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]extended thick shades,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][31] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]constantly flowing water,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][32] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]abundant fruits[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][33] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]of uninterrupted never ending supply,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][34] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]for as long as they continue living a dignified life.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][35] [/FONT]It will be as if We have given these communities a new lease of life

[FONT=&amp][36] [/FONT]by making them capable of performing unparalleled hard works

[FONT=&amp][37][/FONT][FONT=&amp] by bringing out of them their hidden potential[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][38] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]for those on the right side of Our set laws.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][39] [/FONT]A party of those who would have had struggled earlier for the good of mankind.

[FONT=&amp][40] [/FONT]And some of those who would have had struggled later for the good of mankind.

[FONT=&amp][41] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]As for those on the opposite side of the divine program, how unfortunate will be the people on the opposite side of the divine laws![/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][42] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]They will be in the middle of scorching winds of make beliefs and in hot water of hatred due to cruelty through oppression and suppression[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][43] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]living in the shade of shameful sorrow like a pitch-black cloud of smoke,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][44] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]neither comfortable nor refreshing.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][45] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]All this because their people in high places lived in comfort at expense of others before all of them ended up in this situation.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][46] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]They persisted in heinous crimes against each other despite being warned about the consequences of doing so[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][47] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and they used to say, are we really going to end up destroyed and stripped off of our possessions and left bare to the bones? How can anyone make anything like this to happen to us or push us aside like this?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][48] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]And is this really what happened to our forefathers also?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][49] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Tell them, surely it happened to all those of old and it will happen to all those of present age and will continue to happen always because of set laws that are constantly at work. [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][50] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]So likewise you too will certainly be brought together at an appointed time of a known day.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][51] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Then, O you the people with wrong ideologies for life whereby you deny benefits of divine program for others,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][52] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]you will eat the fruits of the rules you live by against the divine program,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][53] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and fill your bellies with it,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][54] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and drink on top of it scalding water, it will be water of hatred[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][55] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]yet you will drink it like a thirsty camel.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][56] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]This is how their state of existence will manifest itself on the day when they will be taken to task by those whom they would have treated terribly.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][57] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]We have surely created you, will you then not fulfil Our program faithfully?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][58] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Have you ever observed the human sperm?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][59] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Is it you who create it or are We the Creator of it?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][60] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]It is We Who have set laws to bring about your death and nothing prevents us[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][61] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]from[/FONT][FONT=&amp] replacing you by others of your own kind or from transforming you into beings that you have no idea of.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][62] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]You already know well your first creation, why then do you not reflect?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][63] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Have you ever considered the seed that you sow in the ground?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][64] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Is it you who cause it to grow or are We the One who cause it to grow?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][65] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]If it serves Our purpose, We crumble your harvest into chaff and you are then left crying[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][66] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]that we are indeed left laden with debts,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][67] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and surely we have been deprived of the fruits of our labour![/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][68] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Have you ever considered the water which you drink?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][69] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Is it you who bring it down from the clouds or are We the One who send it?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][70] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]If it serves Our purpose, We could turn it salty. Why then do you not make use of all that We have provided you with properly?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][71] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Have you ever considered the fire of hatred that you kindle?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][72] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Is it you who grow the tree which feeds the fire of hatred or are We the grower?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][73] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]We have made it a reminder for man as to what would be the life without light of Our guidance, just like guiding stars, a provision of life for the travellers of desert.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][74] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Therefore strive hard for manifestation of the program in the name of your Magnificent Lord because His given program works.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][75] [/FONT]But if you are not sure, observe the stellar orbits as evidence[FONT=&amp],[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][76] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and it is indeed a solid evidence if you observe it[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][77] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]for the fact that this Quran is indeed a program that leads to prosperity,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][78][/FONT][FONT=&amp] preserved in form of a written book for you[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][79] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]yet none will bother understanding it save such as want to be freed from make beliefs and harms people inflict upon each other,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][80] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][81] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Would you then change a scripture such as this by changing its intended purposeful context and meaning to support your own make beliefs [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][82] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and so make denying it means of your livelihood and purpose of your lives?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][83] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]If not then why is it that when you see a nation being choked to death by an oppressive system you do not intervene to restore its life and dignity by using this program?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][84] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Instead you helplessly look at each other like fools knowing not what to do?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][85][/FONT][FONT=&amp] That is the time We could prove very helpful to you by Our program yet you do not see any use for Our program.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][86] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]So why do you then not - if you claim you are not subject to Our laws[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][87] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]- restore to the dying nation its life and liberty if what you say is true?[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][88] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]The truth is, if the dying nation is one of those that sticks to Our program[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][89] t[/FONT][FONT=&amp]hen there is comfort and bounty for it and a world full of bliss.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][90] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Moreover if it be the one belonging to the right side of divine law then[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][91] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]it is honoured with salutations by those of the right side of law saying, peace be upon you.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][92] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]And if it is one of the confused rejecter nations,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][93] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]it is welcomed with constant hatred like running boiling water,[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][94] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]and agonising suffering.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][95] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Surely this is the truth that is convincing.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp][96] [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Therefore strive hard in the name for your Magnificent Lord to manifest it.[/FONT]

Behzad bhai, the quran can be understood ok on its own or rather it is necessary to do so but we cannot act on its commandments properly wihtout some relevant ahadith to tell us how to do things as required by the quran eg how to perform slah or read namaaz. So ahadith help us understnd sunnah ie how prophet responded to the message he got.

002.154 YUSUFALI: And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: "They are dead." Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not.

Basically word shahid means witness but bearing witness to the truth even to the death in the cause of allah earns them title shaheed. Allah says do not call them dead hence people call them shaheed.

So then these are people who label them as "Shaheed", , Allah has not given them this title. OK let us see the verse in question:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
[SIZE=-1]O ye who believe! Seek help in steadfastness and prayer. Lo! Allah is with the steadfast.
The subject start from this verse No.2:153. Clearly this verse is teaching the people how to seek the help of Allah:
[/SIZE]وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَٰكِنْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ
[SIZE=-1]And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah "dead." Nay, they are living, only ye perceive not.[/SIZE]
(In continuation of the verse 2:153, this verse indicates that in case of war, the people who are killed in
the way of Allah
, should not be mourned or called as "people who are normally dead")
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنْفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ
[SIZE=-1]And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops;
but give glad tidings to the steadfast,[/SIZE]
(Still going in continuation of the subject about Sabreen, this verse further elaborates that
Allah will try you with all types of these hardships, but Glad Tidings is for Sabreen.
لَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
[SIZE=-1]Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning.
(This is the quality and character of Sabreen at the time of misfortune or bad circumstances):
The main topic of these above verses is: Sabr, Sabreen.
So Allah did not give the title of "Shaheed" to those people who were qatal.
99.9 percent in whole of Quran where the word Shaheed in singular or Shuhada in plural has
been used it conveys the meaning of "witness" and "witnesses",. No where in direct form
Allah(swt), while mentioning the people being killed in His way has been given title as
Shaheed.
If this title has been given in Hadiths, No rejection at all, but the point has been
conveyed that no such thing has been written in Quran. Allah knows the best.
Recourse is towards HIM.

So many times I thought that I may not write anything, but could not resist. May be many readers will
come to my head, but what should I do, Quran is my passion and that forced me to ask one question:

""CAN SOME ONE GIVE ME A SINGLE VERSE IN QURAN WHEREIN ALLAH (SWT) HAS GRANTED
THIS TITLE OF "SHAHEED" TO ONE WHO HAS BEEN KILLED(MURDERED) IN HIS(ALLAH'S) WAY
or
DUE TO ANY OTHER PURPOSE.". Please give me only relevant verse(s), no
out of context verses. Thanks.

Nice question ,
if you are right then why they are called shaheed ?
And who declared them shaheed ?
And by the way who are the "Shuhada" mentioned in quran?
 
So then these are people who label them as "Shaheed", , Allah has not given them this title. OK let us see the verse in question:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

Baba G, Check out my last post, I have proved Quran has used word "Shaheed" for the ones killed in his way. I have pasted translation of many sholar who had translated SHUHADA (Plural of Shaheed) in English "MARTYRS" and I have pasted extract from various Tafaseer which clearly says "SHUHADA" mentioned in this Ayah are the ones killed in Allah's way and in one of Tafseer there is Hadtih mentioned as well.

Do read my post.

Dear truth seeker, babadeena is right in what he says and the translation are wrong because the verses quoted categorise people as anbiyaa, siddiqeen and shohadaa ie the prophets, the attesters of truth and the witnesses to the truth or for the truth or of the truth.

What I want to know is why exactly babadeena is discussing this word? Is it because he thinks translations are wrong or is it because he is concerned about the effects of belief in martyrs and saints?

regards and all the best.

Surah 57 AL-HADID – The Solid Criterion 94

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

[1] Strives to fulfil program of Allah all that is in the heavens and the earth, for He is All powerful and All-Wise ruler

[2] to Whom alone belongs the sovereignty of the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and His laws comprehend life and death, for He has set laws for disposal of all affairs regarding everything.

[3] His word is the first and the last regarding all that is obvious so far as well as all that will become obvious in its own time, for He makes everything manifest itself.

[4] It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six stages therefore he has right to sovereignty. He makes known what goes on inside the earth as well as all that goes on outside it, that is how He lets you know that He is with you wherever you are and that Allah observes all that you do.

[5] So be aware to Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and it is Allah alone who is originator of all laws about all affairs.

[6] He rotates the part of the earth under darkness of night to move it slowly under the sunlight for causing the day and rotates the part of the earth under the sunlight to move it slowly out of the zone of sunlight to cause the night by turning the globe constantly, and likewise He is able to make evident the innermost secrets of your minds.

[7] So commit to working for peace according to program of Allah as delivered by His messenger and make useful for the mankind all that you have been made to inherit for management on behalf of Allah and humanity. So those of you who commit to working for peace and make useful for all whatever is provided for mankind, they will be rewarded greatly.

[8] What is the matter with you people that you do not commit to working for peace by your actions when the messenger is inviting you towards commitment to working for peace by your actions according to program of your Lord when you have already declared you are committed to working for peace by your word if you really are committed to working for peace?

[9] It is He Who has bestowed upon His servant clear revelations so that thereby He could lead you from the depths of darknesses of ignorance into the light of knowledge. Surely Allah has been Kind and Merciful to you.

[10] What is the matter with you that you do not work hard for the benefit of mankind according to the program of Allah despite the fact that the heavens and the earth belong to Allah alone? Those of you who did use what they had and struggled through to overcome adversity before you did not get the same outcome as those who did not do so. Surely they ended up with greater outcome and dignity even than those who used what they had for the good of others and struggled through hard times after them. However Allah promises all who work hard to accomplish His program a good outcome for their struggle, for Allah make evident the result of all that you do.

[11] So who is there that will work hard for accomplishing program of Allah in the hope of a better world as the end result and so that He may add more reward to it for his benefit?

[12] On the day when the program of Allah becomes established you will see the administrators and the administrations committed to working for peace how the light of knowledge from Allah will be shining before them guiding them to the right course of action, heralding good news about the day when things people need will flow in their blissful world like rivers wherein they will land, and that will be the great achievement for them.

[13] On that day when they see followers of program of Allah successful, the hypocrite chiefs and their hypocrite followings will say to those who would have committed to working for peace, wait for us so that we may borrow some of your light of knowledge. But they will be told, first stop doing harm and destruction you inflict on other and reform otherwise carry on living by light of your own knowledge as you have been because that is the way you saw things better. Thus a clear wall for distinction will be setup between them allowing in just those who are seen deserving. Inside the wall will be community living on basis of caring and sharing out of hard work and compassion, and outside all along there shall be communities living in hell of their own making tearing each other apart in rage against each other.

[14] They will shout out to the people living in peace, were we not on your side? Yes, they will reply, but you led yourselves into conspiracies against us because you were suspicious about our motives and you doubted the program of Allah so you were deceived by your harmful and destructive ambitions until there came the time Allah warned us all against the while your destructive leadership deceived you concerning Allah's revelation till the last moment before you were hit by consequences of your actions.

[15] So today no ransom will be accepted from you or from the open opposers of Allah's guidance. Your abode is in agony that you yourselves have earned and that is a very bad state of affairs to be in.

[16] So has time not arrived for those who claim to be committed to working for peace to act with fervent hearts on Allah’s program for the purpose it is has been revealed, so that they do not become like those who were given the book before this? Because as time went on for them they gradually lost their ferver for acting on their commitment to working for peace for which they were given the book and today most among them have become like those who inflict harm and destruction upon others.

[17] But you should remember always that Allah restores peace on the earth after it has been destroyed. That is why We have made clear Our revelations for you so that you learn them to understand them and do what they say.

[18] Surely those administrators and their administrations that fulfil this purpose in the hope of rewarding future from Allah will be repaid manifold and even more than that.

[19] Those who commit to working for peace by their actions according to program of Allah along with His messenger they are the ones true to their commitment and the true witnesses to the world about His program in the sight of their Lord, they will have their reward through light of their knowledge while those who deny benefits of Our program to their people and oppose Our revelations they are bound to end up in the hell of their own creation.

[20] You should realise in time that the life of this world without the program of Allah is only a do as you like and a show off and boasting among yourselves against each other and a quest for greater riches and more children for fighting against each other. The similitude of living such a life is like that of vegetation that flourish after rain the growth of which delights the tillers then it withers and you see it turn yellow and soon after it becomes dry and crumbles away. In the end what counts is living a life as if one is living in hell or living a life of prosperity according to program of Allah a life of peace and pleasure. The life of this world is nothing less than harm and destruction without program of Allah.

[21] Therefore commit to working for peace by earnestly striving for progress and prosperity according to program of your Lord in order to turn the world into a paradise which is big enough to accommodate all regardless capable of flying high or only capable of living down to earth, it is a program for those who commit to working for peace along with his messenger. Such is the revelation of Allah understanding of which He bestows on such as are happy to make effort for it, for Allah is bestower of great plan for peace and prosperity of mankind.

[22] No harm or destruction takes place on the earth nor to yourselves, which is not according to set laws of Allah that operate throughout the universe, surely that is easy for Allah to explain.

[23] It is done so that you do not become hopeless and lost within yourselves or be completely over taken by grieve for things that you miss due to your ignorance forgetting others who can help, or be completely over taken by joy at what you gain forgetting others that need your help, for Allah does not support any such people who are hopeless or are vainglorious boasters opposers of His program,

[24] who are stingy themselves and encourage others to be stingy also. He that pays no attention to program of Allah should realise that Allah is free of all needs, worthy of Majesty of the universe.

[25] Surely We sent Our messengers for mankind with clear objectives therefore we sent with them the book as the standard to measure against all that people may do so that people could conduct themselves with fairness for the good of all mankind. We have sent this solid criterion because therein is sure protection and many benefits for the mankind and so that Allah makes it evident to people those who along with His messenger really support His program the outcome of which is not yet obvious to them. Surely Allah is mighty powerful to bring about the promised outcome by means of His set laws that take care of all affairs.

[26] We sent Noah and Abraham and bestowed among their descendants prophet-hood
and the book. Some of them adopted the program that was proper but most of them rejected and opposed it and therefore transgressed against each other.

[27] After them We sent other messengers one after the other and followed them with Jesus son of Mary. We gave him The Injeel whereby We put compassion and mercy into the hearts of his followers so that they become a brotherhood. As for monasticism, they imposed it upon themselves, for We imposed upon them only to establish the program of Allah as told in Our revelation but they observed it not as it ought to be observed. However We rewarded those among them who committed to working for peace according to Our program but most of them were transgressors who inflicted harm on each other.

[28] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace from among the people of the book, commit to working for peace along His new messenger if you are truly committed to working for peace. Allah will grant you double the share in His mercy and provide for you a light in form of a guide to walk with and grace you with abundance. That is why Allah kept coming back to people with His guidance, for He is full of mercy for all the people.

[29] For those people of the book who refuse to work for peace along this messenger let them know that they do not have the sole right to the program of Allah and that His guidance is entirely in His own hands which He bestows on whomever He finds deserving because Allah is capable of bestowing great gifts on humanity through His program for them.





Surah 58 AL-MUJADALAH – The Fight for Rule of Law

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

[1] Allah has indeed heard the party that has formally filed a complaint with you against its administrative authority in order to seek decision of Allah and Allah always heard arguments of both the parties involved. Surely Allah hears all and sees all that people do.

[2] In general those who are unduly undermined from among you by their administrative authorities they should realise that such administrative authorities cannot fulfil their needs for dignified livelihood. Surely the providers of their livelihood can only be such administrative authorities as ensure their dignified survival. The promises of such administrative authorities are therefore surely absurd that do not fulfil their commitment to their people. Allah indeed eliminates mistakes of people by guiding them to their corrections gracefully.

[3] As for those who unduly rebel against their administrative authorities and then wish for reconciliation regarding what they complaint about then they should compensate their administrative authorities before they resume their relationship with them. This is advised to teach you a lesson, for Allah is well aware of all that you do.

[4] Any who cannot do so should volunteer oneself to work for administration for two consecutive months before they can have normalisation of relationship. However, if one cannot even volunteer then one should provide livelihood for sixty poor people for a day. This is enjoined so that you commit to working for peace for sake of Allah according to His Messenger. These are the limits set by Allah and those who wage wars against them will end up in t6heir self created painful suffering.

[5] Those who oppose program of Allah by His messenger will indeed end up humiliated like those before them. We have sent down clear warnings that the opposers of our guidance shall have a humiliating punishment.

[6] The day Allah pushes out all those who oppose His rule of law out of the way giving power to those who follow His goal then He will show them what they would have been doing to the world. Allah has kept full record of their deeds even though they may have forgotten, for Allah is witness to everything people do.

[7] Are you not aware that Allah makes known all that is in the heavens and in the earth? It cannot be that three persons converse in secret and He is not the fourth of them, or five persons converse in secret and He is not the sixth of them, regardless fewer or many and wherever they may be He is with them. Then on the day of uprising He will show them the result of what they would have done, surely Allah has knowledge of all things.

[8] Have you not seen those who were forbidden to hold secret meetings yet they persistently do what was made unlawful for them to do? They hold secret meetings among themselves for conspiring to undermine confidence in the program of Allah to create hostile environment for all against the instruction of the messenger. That is why when they come to you they greet you with inappropriate words which Allah does not greet you with, and say to each other, why does Allah not punish us for what we say? Hell of their own making is sufficient for them and they shall burn in flames of hatred, what a terrible state of existence to be in!

[9] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, when you confer together in private, never conspire for undermining confidence in program of Allah and for creating hostile environment for each other or for confrontation with messenger of Allah instead counsel for doing good for each other and for stopping any harm against each other and for being consistent with program of Allah, therefore be consistent with Allah for the good of humanity, for it is He around Whose goal you should all be gathered.

[10] Be warned that people with destructive mindset and harmful attitude against humanity call for holding meetings in secret in order to plot inflicting damage and destruction on those commit to working for peace, however none can inflict any harm at all upon them unless Allah so permits and that is only when people move away from His advice, this is why those who commit to working for peace must show confidence in laws of Allah that operate throughout the universe.

[11] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, when you are called upon to tolerate and cooperate with each other in your meetings then do accommodate each other so that thereby Allah makes room for you in each other's hearts. And if you are called upon to rise up to any occasion then do rise up because that is the way Allah will raise to heights those of you who are truly committed to working for peace because they are the ones who have the knowledge of divine program. Thus Allah makes evident He is aware of all that you do.

[12] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, when you have to deliver some task for the messenger, ensure before your action that you already have what you need for carrying out the task. That will be better for you and free of obstacles. But if you fail to act on his request for some excusable reason then Allah is gracious and merciful.

[13] Are you passionate on your fulfilling of the tasks and have the necessities? But if you cannot do so due to lack of resources then worry not Allah will turn towards you with His grace and instead you should help establish His order in the land thereby attain freedom from all ills in the community and thus be consistent with program of Allah along with His messenger. Allah is well aware of all that you do.

[14] Have you not noticed the ones who turn to those people regarding matters of community concern who are suffering from rage that Allah warned them against? They are neither on your side nor yet on theirs and they swear allegiance to falsehood and they know it.

[15] Allah has declared for such terrible suffering because destructive indeed is for mankind what they are doing.

[16] They use their oaths as shields for their deception and debar others from the way of Allah, therefore they will end up in humiliating suffering.

[17] Neither their riches nor their sons shall avail them anything due to being against program of Allah. They have bound themselves to end up in hell so they will live therein forever unless they repent and reform.

[18] One day Allah will raise them all to life and they will swear to Him as well like they now swear to you, thinking that their oaths will help them. By no means! Surely they are liars.

[19] The destructive mindset and harmful attitude has gained possession of them causing them to forget Allah’s warning. They are the party of the destructive elite. Beware! It is indeed the party of those who oppose program of Allah that is why they will end up the losers.

[20] Those who try to damage cause of Allah by His messenger will be among the most humiliated.

[21] Allah has declared that it is I and My messengers who will most certainly prevail. Surely Allah is mighty strong.

[22] You will never find any people who are committed to working for peace for sake of Allah’s program and for the better end result for mankind on friendly terms with those who are at war with Allah and His messenger even though they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers or their relatives. It is they in whose hearts Allah has inscribed commitment to working for peace by strengthening them with the revelation from Himself. He will land them in gardens in which as if flow rivers of all things, to live therein for as long as they live. Allah will be well pleased with them and they will be well pleased with Him. They are the party of Allah. Beware! Surely it is the party of Allah that will be successful.




Surah 59 AL-HASHR – The Exile

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

[1] Strives to manifest sovereignty of Allah all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth because He alone is the Mighty ruler of the universe.

[2] It is He Who brought out of their dwellings safely the warmongers from among the people of the book at the time of first exile. You did not think they would ever leave and they too thought their security measures would keep them safe to continue working against the mission of Allah. However the rule of consequences set by Allah came into play against them in a way they did not expect and that caused fear in their minds so they ended up dismantling their own houses themselves with help of those who claim to be committed to working for peace between people. So learn the lesson from all this, O people of insight.

[3] Had Allah not saved them by His decree allowing safe passage for them, they could have been made to suffer bigger losses immediately without giving the matter much thought or they could have been made to suffer much worse consequences later through fire of hatred they themselves ignited.

[4] All this happened because they set themselves up firmly against mission of Allah through His messenger and any people that set themselves up against rule of Allah should know that Allah is strict in holding people to His set standard.

[5] So whatever soft or hard approach you adopted to bring about peaceful exile was according to decree of Allah, so that He may let the opposers of His constitution reflect on the lesson.

[6] Moreover it was Allah who bestowed on His messenger the information he needed including the decree for the safe passage for them, therefore you spurred neither cavalry nor camelry to capture or kill them, thus Allah gives to His messengers by His set laws influence against whom He plans, for Allah has set laws to govern over all things.

[7] Whatever of the dwellers of the township Allah has bestowed on His messenger belongs to Allah alone and it is for His messenger to distribute it to all those who are dependent upon him in any way, particularly the lone individuals who have none to support like orphans, the people who lack livelihood and are in need of support and the travellers who may become needy looking for help. Such way of distribution of wealth is necessary so that the wealth does not become the property of those among you who do not care for others and would not share it with others. Therefore take only whatever share of the community wealth the messenger rightfully assigns for you and refrain from taking whatever share of wealth does not rightfully belong to you and therefore he stops you from taking it. Be consistent with rule of Allah for the good of humanity, for Allah is strict in holding people to His set standard for their own good.

[8] An appropriate share from community wealth should be assigned for the immigrants who are driven out of their homes and are freed of their possessions just because they seek Allah’s grace and His good pleasure through supporting the mission of Allah by supporting His Messenger, such are indeed true to their commitment for bringing peace to the world.

[9] An appropriate share should also be given to those who made sacrifices to help new comers and were already committed to working for peace even before the arrival of the immigrants and love those who migrated to them and have no desire in their hearts for things given to them and prefer those immigrants over themselves even though they themselves are poor. In fact those who are saved from selfishness are the ones who achieve prosperity.

[10] And those who joined later on to support the mission after those already there expressed their goodwill for them by saying, our Lord, grace us and our brothers who have been working for peace since before us and do not leave any malice in our minds towards those who have been committed to working for peace already. Our Lord, surely You are Kind and Merciful.

[11] Don the other hand did you not notice the hypocrites used to say to their warmongering brethren from among the people of the book that if Muslims exile you then we too will leave with you and we will never heed anyone who seeks to harm you and if you are attacked, we will certainly help you? However Allah made it evident that they were lying.

[12] Because when they were exiled, they will did not go with them, so they would not have helped them either even if they were attacked, and even if they had decided to help them, they would have turned their backs, they knew this already therefore they did not help them at all.

[13] It is because in their minds there is greater tension for consequences for going against you rather than going against constitution of Allah and interest of humanity, for they are a people who avoid understanding of things that really matter.

[14] They will never fight against you even altogether except in fortified townships and from behind walls. Strong is their valour amongst themselves, you may think they are united but the fact is their minds are divided. This is because they are a people who avoid learning wisdom.

[15] They are similar in mindset and attitude to those who have tasted the consequences of their deeds a short while before them. They too shall face painful consequences for their deeds.

[16] Their parable is like that of a destructive adviser who says to his following, oppose the advice of Allah but when the following does so, he says to it, I have nothing to do with you so you are now on your own. This is how foolishly clever man deceives the dumb and then for saving face he tells him the excuse, I fear Allah the Lord of the nations.

[17] The end result for both of them will be that they will be tossed in painful suffering and remain therein for as long as they live unless they repent and reform and follow the divine program. Or that is the reward for those who inflict harm on each other.

[18] So O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, be consistent with Allah’s program for the good of mankind and let each and every person be careful as to what one is doing for the good of its own future. So be consistent with Allah’s program as Allah makes evident for you the result of all that you do.

[19] Be not like those given books before you who forgot Allah’s program and as a result Allah found them neglecting their progress and prosperity and so they ended up in painful suffering, it is they who moved away from the road map that Allah set for them.

[20] The people heading for the world full of painful suffering and the people heading for the world full of bliss are not equal rather people heading for bringing about a blissful world are far superior.

[21] Even if We had sent this Qur’an to a most knowledgeable person in the earth, you would still have seen him humbling himself before its knowledge due to being awe struck by glory of Allah, We are citing such like examples for mankind so that they could become thoughtfully active people.

[22] Allah is He besides Whom there is no God, the One Who makes known that which is unseen through that which is obvious to show He is kind and Merciful for mankind.

[23] Allah is He besides Whom there is no God, the only Sovereign, the One who advises people to become free of harm and destruction, the One who advises people to be peaceful, the Granter of security from harm and destruction, the Guardian and Sustainer of all His creatures, the Almighty, the Irresistible, the Supreme in authority, surely Allah is free of all those people associate with Him as partners in His sovereignty.

[24] He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Modeller. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth strives to reflect His sovereignty, for He alone is the Almighty ruler of the world.



Surah 60 AL-MUMTAHINAH - THE EXAMINATION

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

[1] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, do not deal with those who are enemies of My mission as well as enemies of your well being in a way that strengthens their position against yourselves. Would you give them advantage when they have declared war against the divine constitution which has come to you and is right for all of you and moreover they have driven the messenger and yourselves out of your homes simply because you chose to commit to working for peace to establish the rule of Allah your Lord for the good of all of you? If it indeed was the reason that you left your homes and what you had to strive in My way and to seek establishment of My program then how can any of you carry on having any relationship with them secretly? I make evident by its effects all that you do and try to keep it a secret as well as all that you do in the open. Any of you who reveals confidential information of the community to its enemies has surely lost the sense of purpose of joining this community because he has harmed the interest of the community.

[2] Do realise that if they who oppose you overcome you then they would behave to you as your worst enemies by stretching out their hands to wage wars on you and their tongues for harming you by their false propaganda, because they want to see you joining them in fight against the mission of Allah.

[3] However if you did that then remember that harm will keep on spreading and the day will come when people will rise up against the oppressive system, neither your relatives nor your children will be of any help to you when that happens. That day will manifest clearly for you to see the difference between both of you the parties as to who is following the beneficial and who is following the harmful system for humanity because Allah is observing all that you do and making it evident by way of consequences of your own actions.

[4] You have an example in Abraham and his companions in doing good for others. They said to their people, we are breaking off our relationship with you because of those whom you serve against set goal of Allah your chiefs, priests and gods and we have set ourselves on a collision course with you, so from now on starts enmity and hatred between us and you forever unless you give up harming others and commit to working for peace according to constitution of Allah, the sole sovereign. However Abraham also said to the father of his people that I will keep looking for a way that brings a dignified life for you all but I cannot do anything that goes against the set rule of Allah. Abraham said, our Lord, upon Your advice we act and to Your guidance we turn, for You are the only one who has the right to set the goal for the mankind.

[5] Our Lord, do not make us the easy target for those who oppose Your mission instead our Lord expose for us the way to dignity. You are surely the sole Mighty ruler of the kingdom of the universe.

[6] Indeed therein is an excellent example for anyone who joins the mission of Allah looking forward to the day of good end result but he who turns against it let him be aware that Allah is free of all wants indeed to whom belongs the Majesty of the universe.

[7] It may well be that Allah will bring about love between you and those with whom you are at odds just now because Allah has sent the revelation that is powerful enough to make this happen if you could deliver it as it ought to be delivered and they receive it as they ought to receive it, for Allah is full of grace and full of mercy for mankind.

[8] Therefore Allah does not stop you from behaving compassionately and equitably with those from among your enemies who do not make wars against you due to your following of constitution of Allah nor have they taken active part in driving you out of your homes. The fact is, Allah supports those who behave compassionately and equitable towards others because they seek to harm none if anything they work for benefit of all.

[9] It is because opposer of rule of law of Allah inflict harms on others therefore Allah forbids you to make friendship with those who fight you because you follow His constitution and therefore they drive you out of your homes and back up others in your expulsion. So those who therefore will take them for friends are indeed the ones who do what is harmful for this mission based community.

[10] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, when there come to you any parties or families or communities which claim to be committed to working for peace seeking to join you, ensure that they are not here for ulterior motives to harm you. Allah knows their commitment to peace and in time will make it evident to you through their actions whether it is true or false but if you find them reasonably committed to peace then do not refuse them your friendship sending them back to join those who oppose Our mission. They are no longer compatible with them nor are they any longer compatible with them. Since these parties have decided to leave their former communities to join you they may have some contractual obligations with them therefore return to their former communities what they have given them. There is no blame on you in that case if any of you parties enter in contract with them provided you give them their dues as is appropriate. Do not hold on to your contracts by force with parties from among you who wish to go and join those who oppose Our mission and have enmity towards you and would inflict damage on you on behalf of your opponents, so if they wish to be free to join the opposers of our guidance you too are free to demand what you have spent on them and make the opposers do the same. This is the decision of Allah which He has decreed for you and Allah is All Knowing and All Wise.

[11] If you do not get back the demanded amount from your parties that go and join the opposers of Our guidance then if you have any reserve give from that to those who have made a loss due to going away of the parties with whom they had contracts according to what they lost. Thus be consistent with constitution of Allah for the good of others according to which you claim to be committed to working for peace.

[12] O Prophet, when there come to you communities to join you claiming to be committed to working for peace, take the oath of allegiance of them for the loyalty to the rule of law of Allah and make it clear to them that they should not serve any rule of law against the rule of law of Allah, that they should not let anyone take away the rights of others, that they should not adulterate the rule of law of Allah, that they should not destroy their future generations by depriving them of proper upbringing, that they should not give rise to or support any propaganda or scandals covertly or overtly against Islam and Muslims, that they should not ignore your demand in any just matter, and if they accept all these terms then accept their allegiance and seek from revelation of Allah way for their prosperity with dignity. Surely Allah is full of grace and full of mercy for all His creatures.

[13] O you who claim to be committed to working for peace, do not befriend those of the people who have incurred the wrath clearly declared by Allah through their infliction of harm on each other. Indeed they are despaired of hope in the good end result for mankind just as the opposers of Our mission are despaired of hope regarding those buried in the graves that they will ever be brought back to life.

@TRUTHSEEKER -------- Salam, Bro first of all sorry for not having the appropriate knowledge of QURAN to discuss this issue with u or BABADEENA, but just wanted to give my input here... MASHA ALLAH, ur proves are praiseworthy and worth reading but I think v again come to point from where v started tht these are humans doing the translations.... In Quran whenever ALLAH mentioned about the ppl being killed or killing in his way he never himself used the word of SHAHEED with those ppl.... now regarding the evidences obvoiusly the ppl u quoted are far more knowledgeable then anyone here i guess and obviously they have a explaination for doing so... n Huzoor did it in Ahadees like calling Hz. HAMZA Syed us SHUHADA, but what BABADEENA asked is if any such situation is explained in QURAN and it is not mentioned directly in any verse RYT? the explainations and tafaseer are a seperate matter but no aayats calls such persons who are killed in the way of ALLAH as SHAHEED directly RYT! or is there?

Baba G, Check out my last post, I have proved Quran has used word "Shaheed" for the ones killed in his way. I have pasted translation of many sholar who had translated SHUHADA (Plural of Shaheed) in English "MARTYRS" and I have pasted extract from various Tafaseer which clearly says "SHUHADA" mentioned in this Ayah are the ones killed in Allah's way and in one of Tafseer there is Hadtih mentioned as well.
Do read my post.

Oh Bhai! this word is for "witnesses" if someone has translated it in only this place or in someother place in passing way then
it is not automatically conveying "Martyrs". Do me or us a favour. Take this word, 100 percent exactly, Zer, Zabar, Pesh, hamza,
exactly in all respect. Then go through All of Quran, and you will come to know that 99.9 percent the same translators have
translated it as "witness"/"witnesses". When you finish this exercise, please let me know. And if by chance you are unable to
do it, then also please let us know, I shall facilitate. Last but not least. Check your translation of following:
Allah says in Quran:
[FONT=Quranic_Font]فَسْـَٔلُوۡۤا اَہۡلَ الذِّکْرِ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوۡنَ[/FONT]
تو اے لوگو علم والوں سے پوچھو اگر تمہیں علم نہ ہو
I have highlighted above in red and blue. This is your calibre or your translator's calbre, from where he put it in translation without bracket
the words in red and for what words he translated the translation in blue. Come on, [FONT=Quranic_Font]ا اَہۡلَ الذِّکْرِ[/FONT] are علم والوں سے. After reading
your source, what should I say except to feel sorry for you.

Dear truth seeker, babadeena is right in what he says and the translation are wrong because the verses quoted categorise people as anbiyaa, siddiqeen and shohadaa ie the prophets, the attesters of truth and the witnesses to the truth or for the truth or of the truth.

(Thanks). This word stands for witness/witnessess in Quran and that is all.)
What I want to know is why exactly babadeena is discussing this word? Is it because he thinks translations are wrong or is it because he is concerned about the effects of belief in martyrs and saints?

(I am discussing this word in my quest that Allah has not used this word for the people who were killed in his way, why we are attributing this
word to all to whom we think that they have given their lives in the way of Allah. In some place we read and say and quote: Qatal-e-hussain
asal mein marge Yazid hay" We do not object it but quote it, then as per our criteria the poet should have written "shahaydaty Hussain asal
mein marge yazid hay". Another point, that what is the status of those people who have been killed by believers among themselves,
such as war of camel, war of safin, karbala, Iran-Iraq War, Lal Masjid, South and North Waziristan operations etc. etc. etc.
and plus who were hanged, plane aircrashed, bomb blasted, 1965/1971 wars, all are Shaheeds or we have bitterly
commercialized this word)
(Definitely Translations are also wrong and one has to be very careful to check and verify them. I have nothing to do
about beliefs about saints etc. Everyone is going to be alone before his Lord. No one is going to help there anyone,
it is the sole discretion of my Allah, therefore this part of question for me is irrelevant)

regards and all the best.

Thanks a lot. If the source is exclusively Hadiths, then I do not reject it. But I will maintain my position
with regard to Quran, because that is foremost and Super.
