THIRD
The Quran is clear and
comprehensible
A.L.R. These are the signs of the clear book. 12:1
We have made it (the Quran) easy to understand and in your own tongue
(language) may you take heed. 44:58
Although God confirms that the Quran is clear and easy to understand, as in
the above verses, yet the same corrupt interpreters who advocate the
'abrogation lie' will tell you that the Quran is difficult to understand, and that
nobody is qualified to interpret it except their likes! What nonsense! They
even go to the extent of prohibiting its interpretation by anyone who does not
possess a degree from one of their accepted Islamic academies. Often, the
case is that their interpretations are far more ambiguous than what they claim
the Quran to be!
They argue that since the Quran is ambiguous there is a justified need for the
hadith. For them, the hadith is necessary to explain the puzzles of the
Quran!
Generally speaking the Quran contains five types of verses:
1- Law giving:
These are the verses that include all the rituals, the prohibitions, and the laws
of God.
2 - Warning:
These are the verses that warn against disobeying God. These verses usually
include an assigned punishment.
3- Narrative:
Like the verses that relate the stories of previous prophets....etc.
4.-Informative:
These can also be narrative of previous people or could also be scientifically
informative (e.g. verses that relate to the creation of the universe, geology or
embryology ...etc).
5-Reflective:
Like the verses that speak of matters related to the creation of the universe, or
those that contain parables.....etc.
It is the first two types of verses that we will be held accountable to on
judgment day. Thus no one will be thrown into hell for not knowing that the
number of heavens is seven as in (Sura 2, verse 29), or for not knowing that
God supported Moses with nine miracles as in (Sura 17, verse 101), or that
the tribe of Saleh was called Thamoud as in (Sura 11, verse 61). On the other
hand, we will all be held accountable if we should give false testimony,
deceive orphans of their money or associate any name with the Name of God.
The Quran was not only revealed for the intellectuals or the scholars, but also
for the unlearned and simple folk who may not be as clever. For that specific
reason, and because God is the Most Fair, He deliberately made sure that
these law giving verses in particular, and by which we will be held accountable
to, are very clear and straightforward.
God distinguishes between the clear straightforward verses (the law giving in
particular) and between other verses which may interpreted in more than one
sense:
He sent down to you this scripture, containing authoritative verses, which
constitute the essence of the scripture, as well as multiple-meaning or
allegorical verses. Those who harbor doubts in their hearts will pursue the
multiple-meaning verses to create confusion, and to extricate a certain
meaning. None knows the true meaning thereof except GOD and those well
founded in knowledge. They say, "We believe in this-all of it comes from our
Lord." Only those who possess intelligence will take heed. 3:7
Moreover, it is because God's justice and fairness that the law giving verses
are made very clear and starightforward. Thus no injustices will be inflicted on
anyone. This is made quite clear in the Quran in numerous verses such as :
God does not inflict an atoms weight of injustice. 4:40
An example of the law giving verses that are quite straightforward is the verse
that specifies the steps of ablution:
O you who believe, when you observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), you shall
wash your faces, wash your arms to the elbows, wipe your heads and wash
your feet to the ankles. 5:6
This simple order from God is put in such simple and direct words that it can
hardly be expressed in simpler or more direct words.
The corrupted interpreters will tell you that, on your own, it is impossible for
you to understand the Quran ! They will decipher the book for you ! By
saying that, they again contradict the Quran, which clearly states that it is God
who will teach the wisdom of the Quran.
The Most Gracious, The Teacher of the Quran. 55:1
Once We recite it, you shall follow such a Quran. Then it is We who will
explain it. 75:18-19
This God bestows on the pure in heart who accept God alone as their Lord
and the Quran alone as their source of guidance:
We place shields over their hearts to prevent them from understanding it (the
Quran), and deafness in their ears. And if you commemorate God in the
Quran alone, they run away in aversion. 17:46
FOURTH
The Quran is straightforward
and without crookedness
"An Arabic Quran, without ANY CROOKEDNESS, that they may take heed"
39:28
The interpreters who constantly twist God's words and claim that they mean
something other than the obvious and starightforward meaning, are guilty of
disclaiming this fourth attribute of the Quran. The examples to that run in the
hundreds. These are presented in the section of (Misinterpreted verses). For
now, this is one of the classic examples of such corruption:
1- God decreed that Hajj may be observed in the known months (the 4
Sacred months) (2:197) ....
"Hajj is (in) the well known months. Whoever 'farada' (sets out to observe)
Hajj 'feehinna' (THEREIN) shall refrain from sexual intercourse, misconduct
and arguments throughout Hajj."
It is very clear from these Quranic words that God has decreed four whole
months for the purpose of Hajj and not the first 10 days of the Islamic month
of Zu Al-Hijja!
The Arabic words (Mann farada FEEHINNA al-Hajj) or (whoever sets out to
OBSERVE Hajj THEREIN) are self indicative. The word 'farada' which
means to observe or execute, comes from the word 'fard' which means a
religious obligation. Thus the word 'farada' means to actually execute the
obligation (Hajj). The word (THEREIN) refers to the four months. Together,
these two words (observe) and (therein) confirm that God has decreed for us
that may observe Hajj ANYTIME during the four months.
However, the twisted retarded bearded fabricators have come up with the
most ridiculous excuse to twist the content of this Quranic law. In an attempt
to over-rule the Quranic law and uphold their hadith and sunna, they have
claimed that this verse speaks of the time 14 centuries ago when the journey
of Hajj on camel and donkey backs took months to complete !!! They thus
claim that this verse speaks of the intention of Hajj and not the actual
observation of Hajj. In other words, people can prepare for their donkey and
camel rides and start their journey anytime during the 4 months !!!!
Any human being with any degree of sense will immediately see the absurdity
of this ridiculous interpretation:
1- Do these morons not realise that the Quranic law is directed to all people
and
to all times till the end of time, and not only to those who travelled on
donkeys and camels 14 centuries ago? Have they restricted the law and
guidance of this verse to the donkey/camel riders who lived 14 centuries ago?
2- Do these morons not see God's deliberate use of the word 'Farada' (to
observe) in this verse? Do they not see the words 'Feehin al-hajj' which means
(whoever OBSERVES the Hajj THEREIN) ? God did not say (whoever starts
his journey therein)! the words (observe) and (therein) constitute God's clear
and starightforward decree that hajj may be OBSERVED in these months .....
and not that the donkey journey may be started during these months .......
Sadly, these morons get away with such corrupt interpretation because the
majority of people are too lazy to verify Quranic truth for themselves and in
stead rely on the sholars thinking that those with beards, baggy clothes and
worry beads are the legitimate custodians of the truth!
May we always remember that God proclaimed that the Quran is
straightforward and without crookedness. Therefore, if God says that Hajj
may be OBSERVED during the four months, then He means just that. God
does not say (observe therein) and means (start the donkey ride)!! God does
not say one thing and mean another! The reader is free to believe God or
believe the twisted interpreters!
