Question regarding Fasting

This is answer to a question from my very sincere Hindu brother, the answer may also help those who wants to seek the truth. 


Very good and reasonable question but my explanation became too long. I derived my understanding through my humble study of overall verses of the book Quran.

The reason of abstinence (saum) / traditional known as fasting is to grow in self confidence, self belief and know your self, trust your inner abilities to become a better version of yourself.

Generally mind is a house of lot of uncertainties, emotions, insecurities, apprehensions, desires, hate, anger, jealousy,  rivalries, temptations, anxieties, agitation and is full of commotion. 

To make this agitated mind calm, sound and at peace it is recommended to observe abstinence popularly known as fasting. 

The book Quran says that the purpose of abstinence is to become self aware or to be self conscious (tattaqun) - (2:183). 

Abstinence is basically to develop a mindset that we must trust the natural flow in all circumstances. Whatever happens in our life must not effect us. Trust in the wisdom of Nature is imaan in Quranic terminology.

Be humble by knowing that we are very insignificant individual floating through a infinite space in minuscule spaceship called Earth. And we are not it's captain, nothing is in our hand.

What happens if we think too much about our existence or want to take control? Anxieties and desires are born because we give too much importance to ourselves and this keep our mind indulge or busy in unnecessary, useless, idle self talk within known as لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ (lahul- hadith) in Quranic terminology hadith are narratives happenings in our mind.

Now comes your main question 

1) Abstinence from what?

Abstinence from our urges, desires which are the reason of our anxieties, stress and tensions.

Be self accountable, assess and evaluate yourself, if you lack the ability don't give up, still continue, persist to be on the path of recover and discovery. The best way to educate our self is to start educating those who are in need (miskeen). Educating others is best part of learning. Train your mind to be calm and quite, it is better for you (2:184)


When we quite or calm our mind the revelation takes place, in it is guidance, clarity and criterion that speaks to us (Quran). This notable manifestation (shahr) is called ramadan. Whoever experiences such notable manifestation must practice abstinence - (2:185).


Sorry to share some of my thoughts in between so that you can easily able to relate with your knowledge of epic poem Ramayana. I may be wrong in my assessment but I feel that the word ramadan is a inner journey of cleansing or fighting the evil within just like ramayana in Hindu narration.


The Ramayana is also interpreted as a symbolic representation of the human journey towards self-realization and liberation from the cycle of suffering. 


Rama means pleasing, joyful or source of joy and ayanam or ayana signifies journey, travel or path.


The Inner Meaning of Ramayana Rama is the Indweller in every Body. He is the Atma-Rama, the Rama (Source of Bliss) in every individual. His blessings upsurging from that inner Spring can confer Peace and Bliss


Now again coming back to the book Quran,


The guidance is nearer to you than you can realize, you just need to call and you will receive the guidance (2:186).


Now coming to your second question.


2) What is the period which has been misunderstood as dawn to dusk?


 Verse 2:187 deals with the solution for our anxieties and our urges. Quran says it is not easy to deal with anxieties and urges, we need to resist, fight and throughly educate our desires / urges until it makes sense to us and clarity is achieved. This is traditionally known as clarity or breakthrough (dawn / fajr) from period of anxiety/ darkness (lail). 


For achieving the perfect clarity of thoughts as distinguishable as black and white, one need to use intellectual curiosity and imbibe which is mistranslated as eating and drinking while devoted to the state of humbleness (masjid). In this period one need to restrict oneself from indulging in any type addiction connected with our urges and desires.


These are some steps to bring calmness, stability to mind from agitation.


Fajr is breakthrough thinking mistranslated as dawn,


Lail is anxiety, darkness mistranslated as night.


Kulu is using intellectual curiosity mistranslated as eating


Sharibu is imbibe or absorb the knowledge mistranslated as drinking. 


Hopefully I have cleared your doubts.

IMPORTANT QUESTION & ANSWERS

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM QURAN ALONE FOLLOWERS.

 //Is this phrase Eid ul Adha used in Quran? If yes please let me know the ayah reference no//

//If it's not from the Quran, what's the source of this Islamic philosophy brother?//

NO OFFENCE INTENDED - 

I find this discourse of distinguishing between Quranic and non Quranic topic very insubstantial because first of all we don't have any idea what is the real essence of the word Quran. This argument is based on the belief that the book Quran is divine and all other books are created by man. Secondly when someone ask for references to validate their belief of particular statement or phrase from the book Quran that means we are placing an archaic book on a higher pedestal than our divine intellect. We must question logic behind the phrase rather than asking a question to curb or eliminate that phrase if not found in the book Quran. This is why we fail because we underestimate our own divine natural intellect in lieu of artificial man-made books. Validation or stamp of approval must always come from our own common sense (mohammad). The essence is more important than the meanings; in seeking exact meanings we lose the crux or overall essence of the word. 

There is no harm in referring or taking opinions and advices from available sources but we must never kill or underestimated our own divine common sense while dealing with ambiguous literatures such as the 114 chapter book Quran. I am telling the book Quran as ambiguous because very vast majority among us don't understand its nuance. We are just content in knowing that the book Quran unarguably is the best book from God and there is no room to doubt it. 

Popular blind belief is dangerous for an enlightened mind, good for stagnant mind. Popular beliefs leaves no room to question and when anything becomes unquestionable then the suppressed question remains alive in mind by continuously evoking the potential answers. No sane person will dare to answer the untouchable questions because religion is formed by powers of fools in large numbers. To question any popular belief is dangerous, so we are conditioned not to question or raise doubts to popular concepts or beliefs.   

God the Energy never write, dictate or print books. The ways of God is fixed and is same for everyone; it cannot be changed to suit circumstances or situations. Every cause has an effect; this is the fixed way (sunnah) of God, not the religious deity. 

The source of all knowledge or books is inspirations or experiences of man and it is universal like mathematics. Man, God, Devil is not separate or different entities but is different dimension within Man. Some books are excellent; some books are good, some average and some poor. 

I place book Quran in excellent category only because I have gauged it with my own intellect and not because it is popularly known to be divine or followed by my esteem predecessors. We must know that the book Quran is the concise version in Old Arabic language of Jewish Christian Philosophy.  The Islam we follow today is an extension of Jewish Christian sect called Ebonite.

The touchstone or the gauge to measure the genuinity of any literature must always be in coherence with the real intelligence and it must never based on conjecture of the majority. I gauge all Islamic literature with the book Quran because I know and understand its calibration. When we thoroughly understand the calibration, we must not be afraid, feel insecure or feel disdain to assess any literature, even if it is contrary to our belief. The subject of Islam is very vast therefore we must be open to take into consideration anything which helps us in improving our knowledge of Islam provided we are well versed with our Quran; the measuring instrument of All Islamic Literature. 

The attitude of not believing or considering anything apart from the 114 chapter book is utterly wrong. For me the book Quran is Furqan (Criterion) to judge wrong and right paths that lead towards peace or surrendering to the will of God. How or what I will judge if I have a preconceive notion that everything is wrong or bad apart from the book Quran. And the severe setback is that we even don't have a complete understanding of the book Quran and we bend on to study it without outside help or assistance. This is a very big dilemma which many learned "Quran alone Muslims" are facing. 

If Eidul Adha, Eidul Fitr as a catchphrase is not mentioned in the book Quran that does not mean that they have no significance in Islamic Philosophy or ritual. You accept or reject it but no one can deny its mass practice amongst the Muslim masses since ages, although they don't knowing its real significance. 

The word Eid and its derivatives are found in the book Quran - عُدْنَا - تَعُودُوا- يَعُودُونَ - - أُعِيدُوا - نُعِيدُهُ - يُعِيدُ - عِيدًا - similarly the words adha, fitr, ramadan, hajj etc also found in the book Quran in different forms. If we really yearn to decode Islam we need to consider contemplating on these words or connect all dots which are deeply rooted in Islamic Philosophy. But again I will reiterate first we must thoroughly know the book Quran because it is the only valid measuring instrument to gauge all the Islamic Philosophy. 

There are many things which "Muslims or specifically Quran alone Muslims" believe today that have no references from the book Quran but still they believe because it is a part of their continuous happenings around them or those enactments are part of that continuous thought process. All "Islamic rituals" are part of Islamic literature because we find its precedence in the followers of Islam. These rituals are actually non Quranic in nature but are part of Islamic culture or tradition.

When we trust or have faith in something, believers usually don't demand proof of its existence or happenings, because it is in their common practice and knowledge. Nevertheless we must demand logical proofs of everything, we cannot just believe in anything without logical reasoning or by self experiencing or witnessing. In Islamic Philosophy it is called shahadah or kalimah tayabah - 35:10 base of Islamic Philosophy. The words of God are Kalima tayabah, these words are signs which are not confined in books, languages or words but revealed upon deserving candidates. 

We believe that "Quran is the revealed book of God to Mohammad through Angel Gabriel," we believe in this statement without any basis or reference, neither have we demand any proof because we have faith in what the book claims. We believe because it is the part of our faith, we don't need any references. References are only for validation of our belief. References do not require any reasoning because we believe that the source is directly from God and we must accept it without questioning.

The topmost reference point or validation must be from our own faculty to analyse, deduct logically purely based on merit and not from because it is written in some books or quoted by some eminent personalities. The main source of knowledge must come from our own investigation and study. For this to happen we must cultivate our commonsense to think, reflect, ponder, contemplate ... Always keep your mohammad alive we want to receive the revelation. 

// If every truth seeker derived his own Quran (deduced from his embedded Al-kitab in Arabiyun mobin(mother tongue), then what is the status of 114 chapter book, why it is needed, and why you quote it's verses in your articles?

The 114 chapter book is in Old Arabic, thus not possible for very vast majority to infer it; even the Arabs don't understand it. Muslims too used it today just for liturgical purpose.
It is in common knowledge that we get our day to day instructions or directions from our own conscious mind. We don't refer any book to do our routine work, common sense or embedded script is sufficient to guide us.

All religious mafia insist us to follow the God's Book, whereas in the entire book Quran it never commands us to follow or study or learn Arabic language of this 114 chapter book. But emphasis is given in the book Quran to use your intellect, ponder, think but never said to follow anything blindly.

I am a very insignificant person, my audiences are Muslims. If I don't quote verses from their own Holy Book Quran they will accuse me of heresy.

For me the book Quran is no more than measuring instrument, I judge all the Islamic literature within its parameters. It guides us what to accept and what to reject in the matter of surrender to peace or will of God / Allah. 

Doesn't matter if you understand the book Quran or not; use your mind, use your divine intellect, cultivate your commonsense but don't follow anyone blindly. 

I am not justifying or advocating rituals done in the name of God, I am just saying every rituals have significance behind it which is lost now and current rituals are hollow practice without its original spirit.

Salam / Peace

UNLEARN, LEARN THEN RELEARN

Most of us are coming from particular background and I suppose nobody was enlightened by birth. Our journey is to unlearn, learn, unlearn and then relearn. It is a continuous process of learning, at least for me. As far as I know this tiny group is without any labels or specific ideology.

There are different stages or levels of learning. In my observation 99.99% of masses are content with what they already know. Every sect of Islam is content, same way every sect of Christians, Hindus, Jews, Atheists are content. 

For example almost every Muslim knows that the meaning of word Kitab is a book. But very few of us know the nuance of this Quranic terminology of the word Kitab. Al-Kitab is not a simple book of information or book of instructions but it is a book of guidance for entire mankind who are muttaqeen. If the claim is that the Quran is for entire mankind, and it is also claim that it is kitab i mobin (with no ambiguity) then it must be in all the native languages of the world, but it also says that only muttaqoon can decode or discover it. 

Now the question is are we not muttaqeen? In the context of the book Quran, "Muttaqeen" (ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ) refers to individuals who possess a strong sense or presence of God consciousness (taqwa) in them 24x7. They are diligent, take precaution and are aware what they do.

When we explore the entire book Quran deeply we realize that the word kitab signifies our inner script which has guidance and is taught by our inherent rasul. The word Kitab does not signify a physical Arabic book of 114 chapters. Kindly refer 2:146, 2:129, 6:20, 17:14, 2:144, 78:29-30, 68:36-38, 62:2, 57:22, 56:77-81

Man, infact the entire planet Earth is very insignificant in this infinite galaxy. Ego and superiority complex make us think we are something, the fact is we are nothing. We quarrel among ourselves because we have lost our state of humbleness (sajda). Arrogant people don't want to think and come out from their self-made well or from the self-made cocoon. To each sect their ideology is dear and they hold it close to their heart. Anything contrary to their ideology is offensive to them.

I am still learning and consider myself to be still in the cocoon in spite of thinking many times that I finally broke the cocoon but then after sometime I realizes that I am in a new cocoon. I am not able to fly yet or feel the experience of liberation. I am still imprisoned in words, chained in books and different philosophies. In the age of IT revolution we are drowned in information and starving for knowledge. 

If we cannot experience, we cannot testify (shahadah) this is the backbone of almost all the religious philosophies including Islam. There is no shortcuts for gaining experience. We have to go through many internal incidents / narrations / happenings (hadith) before settling down on to one narration and that in Quranic terminology is called the Quran / Furqan. Note this narration is not 114 chapter Old Arabic language compilation recognized as the book Quran. The best narration is our own personal Quran which called accounts / happening (hadith) or events / occurrences / happenings in our mind. (39:23), (52:32-35), (53:59-62), (56:76-81), (68:44), (77:50), (4:78), (4:87) and (31:6) - (diverting talks in our mind are also hadiths)

Our personal compilation or downloading of our clear thoughts that continuously speaks, guides, warn, differentiate to us in our own language is our original Quran, Furqan. Our Quran is part of our inner script (Al-Kitab), our inner accepted direction (Qibla) and Kaba (our inner protuberance that acts like a beacon).

MUSLIMS AND HAJJ

 

In the connotation of the book Quran Muslim has a peaceful and submissive nature, it has nothing to do with his occupation, religion, skill, race, gender, dress, eating habits or his ability to make peace with others or to stop fights between two persons or groups. 

Islam or Muslim has more to do with peace within than outside. If our internal immune system is strong no outside force or disease can harm us. Peaceful mind in all circumstances is a blessing, which only few can achieve. Outside turmoil must not destabilise our inner peace.

A  dishonest person, a selfish person, a person with arrogance, ego, dishonesty, pride cannot be a Muslim even if he/she has contributed to the world.

In the context of the book Quran, muslim is one who breaks all the idols, hindrances, disputes, conflicts, rivalries, fears, greed, jealousy, anxiety developing in his/ her own mind and subdue them to peace and is harmony in alignment with masjid haram (sacred humbleness). Filthy thoughts (mushrik) are not allowed to enter in masjid i haram (our own sacred mind). 9:28

Masjid i Haram is our own sacred house (bayat al-haram) our own Qibla (accepted direction) built in our own mind for those who want to repair (hajj) themselves with the guidance from al-kitab our inherent script.

We all have unique scripts. To each is assigned roles but to fulfill any role first we need to cleanse our house and have have peace within. Bayat in the context of the book Quran is our house of thoughts where we use our intellect to bring peace and security to our agitated mind (naas).

People ask me if everything is within (batin) us then what is outside (zahir). Deen begins from inside (batin) then gradually manifests (Zahir) outside. Growth always take place from hidden (batin) then appeared or demonstrated outside. Work must first begin silently from within, let your success emit sound. I am not debunking the value of facade or outside appearance but top priority must be given to interior substance. Deen is contribution and if we are hollow from inside how will we contribute.

I am just a simple translator of the book Quran, I can bring peace with my exegesis, you must be a honest businessman, you can bring peace by your contributions, Scientists can bring inventions, Doctors can treat, Engineers, Lawyers, labour, employee everyone can contribute for better tomorrow but first they must have peace within. We can offer our cup of peace to others only when our cup is full with peace.

Our respective scripts will automatically push us towards peace only if we are following the inherent script (al-kitab) sincerely. 

Peace is the basic requirement, even outside peace won't affect us if we are internally disturbed and continuously facing our battles within. 

So the topmost priority is given to internal peace by the book Quran. The word muslim is an active participle and belong to form iv category of verb. 

The purpose of Hajj is to repair our mind from internal fights and achieve sound and peaceful mind (Islam / Muslim).

GAZWA E HIND


Gazwa e Hind - In the right context of peaceful mindset (Islam) Gazwa e Hind is waging war against our own blandishment and amatory. Hind in Arabic language means attraction, allurement, enticement. Hind is one of the popular name of Arab girls.


Gazwa e Hind a popular Hadith in the context does not mean conquering India or any other nations by so called Muslims but infact it is about conquering our own temptations and desires to remain in peaceful state.


Quran and Hadith literatures are victim of wrong interpretation and Muslims are brainwashed absent minded non thinking zombies that breed on hate, intolerance and malice, they think hating non Muslims is the part of their promotion towards Paradise.


First of all, this said Hadith comes under very extreme weak category. Second ghazwa technically means those battles in which Prophet himself participated. As Prophet is no more this conquest of Hindustan in not possible and it is propagated by those nurturing anti India sentiments to fuel hate against Bharat.


The fourteenth-century poet Amir Khusrau used the word "Hind". While the idea of a geographical and cultural entity like “India” did exist, but the term “Hindustan” did not carry the political and national meanings which we associate with, today. Before this the thirteenth century by Minhaj-i-Siraj, a chronicler who wrote in Persian, he meant the areas of Punjab, Haryana and the lands between the Ganga and Yamuna.


The point here I want to prove is that the word Hind belongs to an Old Arabic origin, which was later on used by Persians too describe India. When the said Hadith was purportedly being written India was not called Hind. The Original name of India is Bharat. Al-Hind is an adjective used in much later period to describe the beauty of Bharat.


"Ghazwa-e Hind" is a complex and controversial concept with a history of being used to inspire violence and militant movements. It's essential to understand the different interpretations and the ways it has been misused to justify violence.


Islam means surrender to peace and it cannot justify violence in any form and pretext. The subject of the book Quran is mental peace, anything which destroys our peace of mind is not Islam hence he/she cannot be called Muslim.


Islam, Shanti, Peace, Shalom and Nirvana are not name of religions but they are words in different languages that represents peaceful mindset.

RASUL IS IN YOU

 




9: 128 - لَقَدۡ جَآءَکُمۡ رَسُوۡلٌ مِّنۡ اَنۡفُسِکُمۡ عَزِیۡزٌ عَلَیۡہِ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ حَرِیۡصٌ عَلَیۡکُمۡ بِالۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ رَءُوۡفٌ رَّحِیۡمٌ

9:128 - Surely, a rasul has come unto you from your own nafs; grievous to him is that you should fall into trouble; he is ardently desirous of your welfare; and to the believers he is compassionate,


3:164 - لَقَدْ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًۭا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ١٦٤

3:164 - Indeed, Allah has done the believers a ˹great˺ favour by raising a rasul from their nafs — reciting to them His ayats, purifying them, and teaching them the book and wisdom. For indeed they had previously been clearly astray.


2:151 - كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُمْ رَسُولًۭا مِّنكُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْلَمُونَ ١٥١

2:151: Just as We have sent in you a rasul from yourselves reciting to you Our ayats and purifying you and teaching you al-kitab and wisdom and teaching you that which you did not know.


14:4 - وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِۦ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ ۖ فَيُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٤

14:4 - We have not sent a rasul except with the language of his qaum to clarify ˹the message˺ for them. Then Allah leaves whoever desires to stray and guides whoever desires. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.


41:44 - وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَانًا أَعْجَمِيًّۭا لَّقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥٓ ۖ ءَا۬عْجَمِىٌّۭ وَعَرَبِىٌّۭ ۗ قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ هُدًۭى وَشِفَآءٌۭ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌۭ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِن مَّكَانٍۭ بَعِيدٍۢ

41:44 - And if We had made it a foreign language Qur'an, they would have said, "Why are its ayats are not explained in detail [in our language]? How it can be a foreign [ajmiyyoon] and a native [arabiyyoon]?" Say, "It is for those who believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe - in their hearing is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. They are the ones who are being called from a far place [so they will never hear the call].


Religious Meanings:

Rasul - A religious figure considered as prophet whose name was Mohammad,  who spoke in Classical Arabic, who lived in Mecca around 570 CE and died in June 8 in the year 632 CE. and is buried in Madina a city in Saudi Arabia.

Arabic - العربية is a language of Middle East, the word العربية is a proper noun, definite article used for languages.

Quranan - قُرْءَانًا - The word is considered to be 114 Chapter Religious Book of Muslims, in Old Classical Arabic, not understood by very vast majority of Mankind. 

Quranic and Classical Meaning:

Rasul - An inherent sensible inner voice within all of us who speaks clearly in our own native language (عَرَبِىٌّۭ), teaches us our inherent script (ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ), teaches us wisdom (ٱلْحِكْمَةَ), purifies you (يُزَكِّيكُمْ) - Most of us are not aware or rather ignorant of these humble voice of mohammad inside us, speaking, warning, guiding us at every moment. 

Quranic Rasul is alive in us but we have killed / suppressed his voice in lieu for external voices of greed, insecurities, fear, glamour, ego, pride etc. 

Rasul Allah - رسول الله is low voice of conscience (Allah)


Arabiyyan, arabiyyoon - عَرَبِىٌّۭ - عَرَبِيًّا ?

These words are not proper nouns or definite  articles so they cannot be inferred as languages.

The linguistic and Qur'anic words arabiyyan and arabiyyoon contextually and linguistically means something which is crystal clear, articulate, easily pronounced and understood like our mother tongue or native language.

Quranan - قُرْءَانًا - Actually the quranic word quranan does not signify a book but it is a specific compilation of our own thoughts in our own language for the benefit for entire mankind. The Quran is the part of our script (al-kitab) which speaks to us, guide us, differentiate what is right from wrong and bring us out from darkness to light.

QURANAN ARABIYYAN -

A SHORT SUMMARY FROM MY ARTICLE KITAB, QURAN AND ARABIC - for full article search - https://www.ahleaqal.com/2012/10/kitab-quran-arabic.html

 

WHAT IS QURANAN ARABIYYAN - قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا ?


The translators and scholars say that Quranan Arabiyyan means the book Quran in Arabic Language, let us analyse it.


REFERENCES FROM THE BOOK QURAN:

12: 2 (Yusuf) قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا 

20: 113 (Ta-Ha)قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا 

39: 28 (Az-Zumar)قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا 

41: 3 (Fussilat)قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا 

42: 7 (Ash-Shura)قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا 

43: 3 (Az-Zukhruf)قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا 


Is Quranan arabiyyan means the book Quran in Arabic language?

For Arabic language اللغة العربية is used while writing - And for 

"The book Quran in Arabic language" is translated as كتاب القرآن باللغة العربية

Therefore Quranan arabiyyan cannot be inferred as the book Quran in Arabic language - 

Linguistically the word قُرْآنًا is not a definite article nor a proper noun as assumed by different translators so it cannot inferred as the book of 114 chapter Arabic book commonly recognized as Quran. 

The word Quranan is indefinite article which contextually means compilation of our own thoughts which speaks to us. I again reiterate Quranan in the context does not mean Islamic holy book.  

The word عَرَبِيًّا too is an indefinite adjective which means something which is articulate, that can be understood easily, easily pronounced like our mother tongue or native language. Arabiyyan does not mean Arabic language of Middle East which hard to pronounce for an non Arab. If عَرَبِيًّا - arabiyyan is inferred as language it must be written in definite article العربية and not as عَرَبِيًّا or عَرَبِيٌّ

Arabiyyun v/s Ajmiyoon: 16:103

The opposite of عَرَبِيٌّ is  أَعْجَمِيٌّ - Linguistically the word ajmiyyun means which is foreign, strange, which cannot be understood - Chinese is ajmi for me. Anything which I do not understand is ajmi for me. The language I understand is arabiyyan for me and the language which I do not understand is ajmi for me; this is so simple but we have made it complicated.  So if I do not understand Arabi it means it is ajmi for me and if I understand Urdu it means Urdu is Arabiyyun for me because I understand it clearly. Please read it again if you have not understood it in first go.

 قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا - Quranan Arabiyyan means compilation of our own thoughts which can be easily understood because it is in our own language. Contextually Al-Quran means it is a revelation in our own language which has a guidance for entire mankind and clear proof of guidance and criterion. Everyone of us have our own Quran which is revealed to us in our own language, that's why the book Quran says it is guidance for entire mankind because it is not hinting us towards this 114 chapters Arabic book, but pointing towards which is crystal clear to understand, i.e Kitabi-mobin


Also, there are another 5 Ayaat explaining ARABI:


13: 37 (Ar-Ra'd )حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّا - Clear judgement of authority - the phrase does not mean judgement in Arabic language, but it means clear judgement for everyone to follow easily -

16: 103 (An-Nahl) - عَرَبِيٌّ مُبِينٌ - It is not about the language but the articulation of speech coming from the thoughts, imagination which were unknown before..

26: 195 (Ash-Shu'ara)عَرَبِيٌّ مُبِينٌ - this phrase it suggesting about zaboor (26:196) generally thought to be the book of Dawood but actually it is a characteristic of Al-Kitab to live a harmonious and balanced life.

We sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom: Traditional translation.

If the rasool is sent always in the language of his people; now the question to ponder where is my rasool.
