QURAN AND KITAB ARE NOT SAME; QURAN IS THE PART OF AL-KITAB.
43:2) وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ
By the
Book that makes things clear,
43:3) إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهُ
قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
We have
made it a Qur'an in Arabic that you may be able to understand
43:4) وَإِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ
الْكِتَابِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ
And
verily, it is in the ummul-kitab, in Our Presence, high, full of wisdom.
56:77) إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ
Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
56:78) فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
In Book well protected
THE ORIGINAL QUR'AN IS NOT IN WRITTEN FORM:
6:7) وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا
عَلَيْكَ كِتَابًا فِي قِرْطَاسٍ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ لَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
And even if We had sent down to you, a written scripture on a page
and they touched it with their hands, the disbelievers would say, "This is
not but obvious magic."
29:49) بَلْ هُوَ آيَاتٌ بَيِّنَاتٌ
فِي صُدُورِ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا الظَّالِمُونَ
Rather, it is the [Qur'an] distinct signs [preserved] within the
breasts of those who have been given knowledge. And none reject Our signs
except the wrongdoers.
The Qura'n is preserved in the heart / mind / psyche of those who are bestowed with knowledge.
FOR THOSE WHO THINK THAT AL-QURAN MEANS A BOOK OF ALLAH
CONSISTING 114 CHAPTERS, THEN HOW WILL THEY JUSTIFY THE FOLLOWING VERSES WHICH THE BOOK
QURAN CLAIMS TO HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY EXAMPLES?
17:89-And
We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind]
of example, but most of the people refused [anything] except disbelief.,
18:54-And
We have certainly diversified in this Qur'an for the people from every [kind
of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
30:58-
And We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur'an from every [kind
of] example. But, [O Muhammad], if you should bring them a sign, the
disbelievers will surely say, "You [believers] are but falsifiers."
39:27-And
We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of]
example - that they might remember. – Traditional translation
Any sane
person who is not affected by the religious brainwashing will say that this
"Quran" of 114 chapters does not contain all the examples which are
necessary for living a peaceful life and even the language in which it is
written is not fit for comprehension. Important issues like how to establish
work, how to prevent bloodshed or how to coexist with nature, rights of all living beings
and remedies for diseases like fever, cold, blood pressure, diabetes,
hypertension, psychological problems and many other basic problems are not addressed
in the book of 114 chapters. Then how this 114 chapter book claims to contain
all the examples, still we disbelieve or dispute and confidently assert that
this book has all the models / examples / patterns to live a peaceful life.
My
purpose is not to deny the book Quran of its sacred position but to
educate that the translation of this 114 chapter book which we assume as the book Quran is not sufficient as a guide to live a normal life. And the
book of 114 chapters which is made up of physical material is not the actual Quran which the book Quran is talking about. In fact Quran is
talking about that matter of the mind which only the pure can touch (56:77-80)
–
56:77 - Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
56:78 - In script well-guarded
56:79 - Which none shall touch but those who are clean / pure
56:80 - A Revelation from the Rabb of the knowledgeable.
It’s a clear sentence which means, its instructions can only be understood by
those who are pure in thoughts or whose learning cups are empty / clean and pure.
LET’S ANALYZE SOME MORE VERSES:
18:109-Say,
"If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be
exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the
like of it as a supplement."
31:27 And
if whatever trees upon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished
thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted.
Indeed, Allah is exalted in Might and Wise. Traditional translations
This
means the words (Kalimat) of 'Allah' has much more depth than
this book of 114 chapters and it is not justified to confine the words of Allah
in a book of 114 chapters containing just more than 6200 plus ayaats.
It is a
fact, that the entire universe and beyond are manifested words [kalimat] or
signs (ayaats) for those who want to use their intelligence as it is embedded
in the mind of humans. Only those who think deeply are able to unfold the
mysteries of those signs (ayaats) in any form of expression (Al-Qur'an). If we
take Qur'an as human's mental expression only then the above ayaats that state that Qur'an
has everything, will make sense. Only then we can accept that everything is
contained in the expression (Al-Qur'an) of human mind which is a product of intense thought
and precise part of Al-Kitab - "Qur'an" is in a correctional
book (Ummul Al-Kitab) which is within us, Exalted in Wisdom 43:4. Ummul-Kitab
is the corrective book is with Rabb 13:39. A book which corrects is called
Ummul-Kitab.
One more example:
If we assume the meaning of Qur'an as plain reading or reciting, it does not
make sense, if we translate Qur'an and replace word reading in place of the word Qur'an.
It will appear like this “read the reading” in the following verses:
(16:98) -
So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the
expelled [from His mercy].,
17:45 -
And when you recite the Qur'an, We put between you and those who do not believe
in the Hereafter a concealed partition.
27:92 -
And to recite the Qur'an, "And whoever is guided is only guided for [the
benefit of] himself; and whoever strays - say, "I am only [one] of the
warners."
Critics or researchers keep on blaming the old language of the book Quran, its poor interpretation / translation or its logical or illogical message without letting the inherent Teacher Rehman speak to them in their own language.
The book Qur'an never said its readers to learn Arabic language. It just instructed that Rehman is the teacher of the Qur'an but the reader assumed it as 114 chapter book.
Quran is a settled expression in us which speaks to us through Rasul (inner voice) in our own language.
Even the Shaitan speaks to us in our own language. There are many good and bad thoughts / senses which speaks to us and the combination of those dialogues is termed as Quran in the context of the book Qur'an.
The Arabic language Qur'an is for those who understand its language. It is not even for today's Arabs. It is only for those who understands the exclusive nature of terminologies of the book Qur'an.
10:37 - وَمَا كَانَ هَـذَا الْقُرْآنُ أَن يُفْتَرَى مِن دُونِ اللّهِ
وَلَـكِن تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ الْكِتَابِ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ
مِن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And it can never be this Al-Quran [the expression]
that it be remitted / flagged / abated from weaker [Duni] system of consciousness [Allah], and
but confirmation (of) what (is) within his power / sources / hands / ability,
and brief explanation of the script [Al-Kitab], no doubt / suspicion in
it, (it is) from the Knowledgeable Consciousness.
