Errors in English Key

[icarus]

Forgive me for not seeing it earlier. By 'Ana bkarun' you meant 'Ana bi khayrun' which as you rightly pointed out should be 'Ana bi khayrin' because of the harf jarr bi. I was confused by the way you spelled it. Sorry.

(1) As brother irf2k pointed out, the ayah you mentioned in your first post has nothing to do with 'hand'. Please give us the correct ayah so we can see what you are referring to. Also why do you say that 'tradition dared not change it'? What tradition are you referring to?

The word 'hand' in Arabic should only have two yas if it is dual accusative (mansoob) or genitive (majroor): yadayni (or yaday if it is mudaaf), or if it is plural: aydiy.

(2) You said your child said 'Ana bkarun'. Please tell me what that means brother because I honestly don't know. I know what a harf jarr is, but I just don't know what 'Ana bkarun' has to do with a harf jarr. Please explain this in case anyone else is as puzzled as I am

Jazaak Allaah khair.

the only time I write like this ie Arabic in English format is when I send a message to an Arabic friend both in English and then in underneath in the Arabic English format.

And I also have been writting a lot of post Ummah(as you know) so you can slip up a number of times.

There is no hand either in the original text on in the translation.

Sorry verse 47 I havent got an English translation but there is a
wa - and
ssama - sky
banaynaha - built it (her)
biaydin - hands (it could be translated differently in some Qurans not sure)

Look at the ya carefully

[irf2k]

The word {aydi-in} in 51:47 has nothing to do with {yad-un}. It is a
different word unrelated to the latter. The three radicals of the
word {yad-un} are yaa, daal, yaa. The third radical is lost in
{yad-un}, but appears in the pl {al-aydiy}. The pl of {al-aydiy} is
(al-ayaadiy} meanings favours.

The three radicals of the word {al-ayd-u} occurring in the aayah
are: hamzah, yaa, daal. It means power. In the musHaf, it is written
with two yaas which is one of the peculiarities of the Quranic
orthography. As you may note, the second yaa has a small circle, which
means that this yaa is not pronounced.

This word has a verb, ayyada, yu-ayyid-u, ta?yiid-an (2nd conjugation)
meaning to support, strengthen. See Quran: 2:87, 2:253, 3:13,
5:110, 8:26, 8:62, 9:40, 38:17, 58:22, 61:14..

38:17 reads: wa dhkur &abda-naa Daawuud dha(a) l-aydi. innahuu awwaab,
It means: And remember Our servant Dawuud endued with power. He was
oft-returning.
The sign {&} stands for the letter ayn, sister of ghayn.

NOTE: I got the above explanation from Dr. V.Abdur Rahim.

Can we agree on the two hand in the verse on this link?


chapter 38

75. (Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?"



Affirmation of The Two Hands of Allaah

And a lot of other Ulama of Ahla Sunnah

AsSalamu Alaikum.
No doubt the word is yadayya, my two hands. There is nothing to disagree.
Dual of yadun is yadayane, then when mudafu, it looses the nunation, then the ya (mutakallam) is added and we get yaday + y = yadayya.

Now if the question is about the interpretation of "my two hands" I leave that to experts of tafseer. Just like other passages in the Qur'an where we read "between your two hand", I have my own understanding which (not being an expert) would like to keep it to myself.

Wa Salam
P.S. - I do not see what this has to do error in the English key of Madina Books.

[irf2k]

In Book I page 55, 11th line reads 'na am. zahabatu' But I thought it should read zahabtu. BAY should have sukoon.
