Golden ratio in the Qur’an?

Golden ratio in the Qur’an?

35:33 Gardens of Eternity, which they will enter. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein (will be of) silk.

(According to the article “What is the golden ratio?” in “canva(dot)com”, “The Golden Ratio exists when a line is divided into two parts and the longer part (a) divided by the smaller part (b) is equal to the sum of (a) + (b) divided by (a), which both equal 1.618”)(The golden ratio is obtained in the Qur’an, and it also proves that the Qur’an has been preserved, because it is calculated according to the existing number of Chapters and Verses in the Qur’an: the sum of all duplicate Chapter+Verse sums is 7906 (Chapter 5 + 120 Verses = 125, 40+85=125, 79+46=125, 8+75=83, 59+24=83, 10+109=119, 36+83=119, 83+36=119, 89+30=119, 15+99=114, 39+75=114, 70+44=114, 88+26=114, 107+7=114, 17+111=128, 18+110=128, 21+112=133, 55+78=133, 22+78=100, 72+28=100, 24+64=88, 34+54=88, 25+77=102, 94+8=102, 97+5=102, 27+93=120, 68+52=120, 114+6=120, 28+88=116, 111+5=116, 112+4=116, 33+73=106, 87+19=106, 91+15=106, 98+8=106, 103+3=106, 35+45=80, 58+22=80, 41+54=95, 42+53=95, 50+45=95, 44+59=103, 86+17=103, 95+8=103, 45+37=82, 64+18=82, 48+29=77, 65+12=77, 51+60=111, 100+11=111, 108+3=111, 52+49=101, 82+19=101, 53+62=115, 75+40=115, 96+19=115, 109+6=115, 54+55=109, 84+25=109, 60+13=73, 62+11=73, 76+31=107, 85+22=107, 99+8=107, 78+40=118, 113+5=118, 81+29=110, 90+20=110, 102+8=110, 105+5=110, 106+4=110, 92+21=113, 104+9=113, 110+3=113)(So, 125 + 125 + 125 + 83 + 83 +119 + 119 + 119 + 119 + 114 + 114 + 114 + 114 + 114 + 128 + 128 + 133 + 133 + 100 + 100 + 88 + 88 +102 + 102 + 102 + 120 + 120 + 120 + 116 + 116 + 116 + 106 + 106 + 106 + 106 + 106 + 80 + 80 + 95 + 95 + 95 + 103 + 103 + 103 + 82 + 82 + 77 + 77 + 111 + 111 + 111 + 101 + 101 + 115 + 115 + 115 + 115 + 109 + 109 + 73 + 73 + 107 + 107 + 107 + 118 + 118 + 110 + 110 + 110 + 110 + 110 + 113 + 113 + 113 = 7906)(And the sum of all unique Chapter+Verse sums is 4885 (1+7=8, 2+286=288, 3+200=203, 4+176=180, 6+165=171, 7+206=213, 9+129=138, 11+123=134, 12+111=123, 13+43=56, 14+52=66, 16+128=144, 19+98=117, 20+135=155, 23+118=141, 26+227=253, 29+69=98, 30+60=90, 31+34=65, 32+30=62, 37+182=219, 38+88=126, 43+89=132, 46+35=81, 47+38=85, 49+18=67, 56+96=152, 57+29=86, 61+14=75, 63+11=74, 66+12=78, 67+30=97, 69+52=121, 71+28=99, 73+20=93, 74+56=130, 77+50=127, 80+42=122, 93+11=104, 101+11=112)(So, 8 + 288 + 203 + 180 + 171 + 213 + 138 + 134 + 123 + 56 + 66 + 144 + 117 + 155 + 141 + 253 + 98 + 90 + 65 + 62 + 219 + 126 + 132 + 81 + 85 + 67 + 152 + 86 + 75 + 74 + 78 + 97 + 121 + 99 + 93 + 130 + 127 + 122 + 104 + 112 = 4885)(The division of these two numbers is the golden ratio = 7906 / 4885 = 1.618; and the sum of these two numbers, divided by the larger number is also the golden ratio = (7906 + 4885) / 7906 = 1.618)(Allah knows best)

Legend of the lost city of Iram?

Legend of the lost city of Iram?

89:6 Did you not see how your Lord dealt with Aad, 89:7 Iram, possessors (of) lofty pillars, 89:8 The likes of which had not been created in the cities,

(Some non-Muslims use the word “legend” which could imply that it is a fairy tale, myth or fable, in order to defame Islam, intending to make people think so. And they have even called it the “Atlantis of the sands”; Atlantis is a fictional island, while Iram is not fictional)(Even if Iram was not found, it would confirm what the Qur’an says: the town was overturned (9:70), and it was made like disintegrated ruins (51:42). So it could not be found, or, if it is found, there are no lofty pillars anymore)(Allah knows best)

51:41 And in Aad, when We sent against them the barren wind. 51:42 It (did) not leave anything it came upon it, but it made it like disintegrated ruins.

(In regard to “Ubar” (in Oman) as a candidate to be “Iram”, it is said that “Juris Zarins”, American-Latvian archaeologist and professor at Missouri State University, said that “what distinguishes this city from other archeological findings is its tall pillars. Therefore, this city is the city of Ad nation, Iram, which is mentioned in the Qur’an”. But according to the article “Iram of the Pillars” in wikipedia, Juris Zarins alleged that “as far as the legend of Ubar was concerned, there was no evidence that the city had perished in a sandstorm. Much of the fortress had collapsed into a sinkhole that hosted the well, perhaps undermined by ground water being taken to irrigate the surrounding oasis”. In conclusion, if Ubar was not destroyed by the wind, then Ubar is not Iram, so Juris Zarins contradicted himself, by stating that it is the city mentioned in the Qur’an, while he thinks that it was not destroyed by the wind)(The word “Ubar” is very similar to “Eber”. It is said that “Eber” in the Bible is “Hud” in the Qur’an. Hud is the Messenger (26:124-125) who was sent to “Aad” (11:50), so Eber and Aad are connected. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily mean that “Ubar” is “Iram”, but it might be a similar name which is not connected to the name “Eber”. Another point is that “Ubar” in English is called “alshasr /الشصر” in Arabic, which could indicate that it was named “Ubar” by foreigners, instead of by locals. So, Ubar, in Oman, might not be a strong candidate to be Iram)(Allah knows best)

29:38 And Aad and Thamud, and verily, (it has) become clear to you from their dwellings. And Satan made fair-seeming to them their deeds and averted them from the Way, though they were endowed with insight. 29:39 And Qarun, and Pharaoh and Haman. And certainly, Moses came to them with clear evidences, but they were arrogant in the earth, and they could not outstrip Us. 29:40 So We seized each of them for his sin. Then of them was he upon whom We sent a violent storm, and of them was he who was seized by the awful cry, and of them was he whom We caused the earth to swallow him, and of them was he whom We drowned. It was not for Allah to wrong them, but they wronged themselves.

(Another candidate is Syria. “Eber” is from the root “’abar”. According to the article “Eber” in wikipedia, the Aramaic / Hebrew root “’abar” is connected with “crossing over” and “the beyond”. There is a prevailing view, that the Hebrews had received their name from “Eber”, the name “Hebrew” meant “those who cross”, in reference to those who crossed the Euphrates river with Abram, from Ur (Iraq) to Harran (Note: Harran was part of Syrian kingdom, but now is in Turkey, near Syrian / Turkish border), and then to the land of Canaan, so Hud / Eber was in Syria. On the other hand, the root of the Messenger “Hud” is “ha-waw/alif-dal, ya-ha(o)-dal”, and it means “to become a Jew”. So, it may confirm that Hud is Eber)(And according to the article “Eber” in wikipedia, “Eber” was the great-grandson of Shem; “Aram” is a son of Shem; “Syria” is the Greek name for “Aram”. So, “Eber / Hud / Aad” are connected to Syria)(According to the article “Iram of the Pillars” in wikipedia, Iram “has been identified with the biblical Aram, son of Shem and the biblical region known as Aram” (aka “Syria”))(Note: Eber is descendant of Shelah (father) and Arphaxad (grandfather). “Arphaxad / Arpachshad” and “Aram” were brothers, so there is a connection between “Hud/Aad” (aka Eber) and “Syria” (aka “Aram”))(Allah knows best)

7:65 And to the ‘Aad their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear?"

(“Aram” is not to be confused with “Iram”. According to Genesis 36:43 and 1 Chronicles 1:54, “Iram” was chief of Edom “according to their settlements in the land they occupied”. “Edom” is a territory divided between Israel (Palestine) and Jordan. So, “Iram”, chief of Edom, in the Bible is not “Aram”, son of Shem, in the Bible)(In conclusion, “Syria” is the strongest candidate to think that it is ”Iram”)(Allah knows best)

69:5 So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering (blast). 69:6 And as for Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind, 69:7 Which He imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms. 69:8 Then do you see any remains of them?

Who is Dhul-Qarnain? Is Dhul-Qarnain Alexander "the great" or Cyrus "the great"? Was Cyrus monotheist?

Who is Dhul-Qarnain? Is Dhul-Qarnain Alexander “the great” or Cyrus “the great”? Was Cyrus monotheist?

18:94 They said, "O Dhul-qarnain, indeed, Gog and Magog are corrupters in the land. So may we make for you an expenditure that you make a barrier between us and them?" 18:95 He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better, but assist me with strength, I will make between you and them a barrier. 18:96 Bring me sheets of iron" until, when he had leveled between the two cliffs, he said, "Blow," until when he made it fire, he said, "Bring me molten copper to pour over it."

(Some non-Muslims say that the Qur’an’s stories about Dhul-Qarnayn closely parallel certain legends about Alexander the Great found in ancient Hellenistic and Christian writings; they also say that the ancient coins of Alexander have two horns (“Dhul-Qarnayn” is translated as “he of the two horns”); and that the ancient Christian Syriac and Ethiopic manuscripts of the Alexander romance (3rd century) from the Middle East have been found which closely resemble the story in the Qur’an. According to non-Muslims, this results in the theologically controversial conclusion that Qur’an refers to Alexander in the mention of Dhul-Qarnayn)(A response to this is that the Book of Isaiah is an oldest source which confirms that Dhul-Qarnain is Cyrus, and not Alexander. Quoting Isaiah, “Isaiah 45:1: This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut”; “Isaiah 45:2: I will go before you and will level the mountain; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron”. So, comparing Isaiah 45:1-2 to the Qur’an 18:94-96, it refers to the same story: the Qur’an says “Dhul-qarnain” (18:94), and Isaiah says “Cyrus” (45:1); the Qur’an says “leveled between the two cliffs” (18:96), and Isaiah says “will level the mountain” (45:2); the Qur’an says “copper” (18:96), and Isaiah says “bronze” (45:2)(bronze consists primarily of copper); and both the Qur’an (18:96) and Isaiah (45:2) say “iron”; and both are in the context of being in another nation’s land (Qur’an 18:86, 90; Isaiah 45:1), and in the context of getting the materials to level the mountain (Qur’an 18:96; Isaiah 45:2))(Cyrus was monotheist in both the Bible and the Qur’an, while it is said that Alexander was polytheist; and there is a relief of Cyrus the great with two horns in Pasargadae, Iran, from 6th century BCE. Notice that, according to the Book of Daniel 8:20, the two-horned ram represents the “kings” of Media and Persia (Media is a region of north-western Iran, and Persia is in Iran too), and the next Verse, Daniel 8:21, says, “the shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first king”. So, Cyrus and Alexander are explicitly differentiated in Daniel 8:20-21, in the Bible. Notice that the Persian one (Cyrus) is the only one who is called “two-horned”, in the book of Daniel, in the Bible, which is exactly how he is called in the Qur’an (two-horned). While the king of Greece (Alexander) is called “shaggy goat” in the book of Daniel. The coins of Alexander confirm that Alexander is like a shaggy goat with horns)(Another proof is that Cyrus was called “king of the four corners of the world”. The Qur’an speaks about Dhul-qarnain reaching the setting and rising place of the sun (18:86, 90); those places are also mentioned in Isaiah 45:6, “so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other”)(Another point is that the Scriptures tell battles between believers and disbelievers. Alexander was polytheist (aka disbeliever), and Gog and Magog were disbelievers too, so it cannot be Alexander anyhow)(Allah knows best)

18:97 So they were not able to scale it nor were they able to penetrate it. 18:98 He said, "This is a mercy from my Lord. Then when the Promise of my Lord came/comes, He made it level. And the Promise of my Lord is true."

(Several centuries before the Alexander romance, the 1st-century Jewish historian Josephus told that Gog and Magog were locked up behind iron gates in the Caspian mountains, so the story is not originally from the Alexander romance. Notice that Josephus was a historian, so the event is not a legend as some non-Muslims say. But Josephus’ very big mistake was that he wrongly thought that it was Alexander “the great”, instead of Cyrus, so the Alexander romance could have copied that mistake from Josephus. There were not previous sources verifying that the story was about Alexander, on the contrary, the Bible is a clear evidence that the story is about Cyrus, but Josephus might had not been aware or ignored the evidences in the Bible. Josephus wrote it 600 years after the event took place, and Alexander conquered Persia after Cyrus (in a later period of time), so the mistake was plausible to happen, specially if he did not know about the Bible account)(Source about Josephus’ work: the article “Gog and Magog” in wikipedia; and Josephus’ “the wars of the Jews”(244), translated by William Whiston)(Allah knows best)

21:96 Until when has been opened (for) Gog and Magog, and they descend from every elevation.

(Isaiah does not mention “Gog and Magog” together with “Cyrus”, but they are all mentioned/linked in the Book of Chronicles: “Chronicles starts with a genealogy from the first human being, Adam, and passes into a biblical narrative of the history of ancient Judah and Israel until the proclamation of King Cyrus the great (c. 540 BC)”. So, “Gog” is mentioned in “1 Chronicles 5:4”, and “Magog” is mentioned in “1 Chronicles 1:5”, and “Cyrus king of Persia” is mentioned in “2 Chronicles 36:22-23”. So, Cyrus, Gog and Magog are mentioned together in Chronicles, which is an older source, and it implicitly confirms that the story of Gog and Magog is linked to Cyrus, not to Alexander)(Another point is that, according to Genesis 10:2, in which Magog is mentioned, the term could indicate lineage; Genesis 10:32 says “these are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood”)(Another point is that both, Cyrus and Alexander, conquered, more or less, the same territory, to the East, but Cyrus shared borders with China, while Alexander did not share borders with China. So, according to maps of Cyrus’ empire, Cyrus annexed Pakistan (parts of), Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, which share borders with China and Kazakhstan. Even today, the Persian language share borders with China (through Tajikistan and Afghanistan), and is even spoken inside China, by Tajiks (aka Pamiri people, who are an Eastern Iranian ethnic group), and there is also a heavily Persian-influenced Aynu language spoken by the Aynu people in southwestern Xinjiang who are officially considered Uyghurs. Both Greek and Persian languages are Indo-European languages, but only the Persian one is spoken near and within China)(According to maps of Alexander’s empire, Alexander did not share borders with China, but shared borders with Kazakhstan. So, if Gog and Magog referred to China, it would also confirm that the story in the Qur’an is about Cyrus, rather than about Alexander)(Verse 18:93 might confirm that Gog and Magog might be in China, the Verse says that “he found besides them a community, who would almost not understand (his) speech”. Kazakh language is a Turkic language, so they might understand the speech, and the largest of the language families in India/Pakistan is the Indo-Aryan (aka Indo-Iranian)(e.g. Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi, etc.). But Chinese is Sino-Tibetan, so it could (almost) not be understood by Cyrus or among his people)(So, it is obvious that the story about Gog and Magog was falsely attributed to Alexander)(Allah knows best)

18:83 And they ask you about Dhul-qarnain. Say, "I will recite to you a remembrance about him." … 18:86 Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found a community near it. We said, "O Dhul-qarnain, either you punish them or take them with goodness." … 18:90 Until, when he reached the rising place of the sun, and he found it rising on a community for whom We had not made against it any shelter.

(God responded the question about Dhul-qarnain, and told an event related to him (18:83-90), regardless of whether the Arabs and Jews believed it was Alexander or not. So, it doesn’t imply that the Qur’an implicitly supports that it was Alexander, but the Qur’an clearly refers to Isaiah 45 in which Cyrus is explicitly mentioned, and also refers to Daniel 8. Some non-Muslims say that the Qur’an copied the Alexander Romance, to defame Islam, while there is another source: the Bible, which is previous to the Alexander Romance. The Qur’an confirms and explains the Bible (10:37). God revealed the Torah and the Gospel (3:3). The Qur’an does not copy or confirm people’s conjectures and falsehood, but confirms that which God revealed, which is the truth (4:170))(Allah knows best)

13:43 And those who disbelieve say, "You are not a Messenger." Say, "Sufficient is Allah as a Witness between me and you, and whoever has knowledge of the Book."

10:37 And it was not that this Qur’an could be produced by other than Allah, but (it is) a confirmation of that which was before it and a detailed explanation of the Book, about which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds.

14:4 And We did not sent any Messenger except in the language of his people so that he might make clear for them. Then Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

(Some people object that Cyrus was likely polytheist, and that, in the Cyrus cylinder, he pays homage to the Babylonian god Marduk. A response to this objection is that, actually, the Cyrus cylinder confirms that Cyrus was monotheist. Notice that, in the Bible, Ezra says, “Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord ...”; likewise, in the Cyrus cylinder, Cyrus is following orders as well, it says: “at the command of Marduk, the great lord,...”. But, despite Cyrus used the name “Marduk”, because the cylinder was addressed to Babylonians, he is referring to the One God (The God of Israel/mankind/of the Torah, Gospel and Qur’an). Notice that, in the cylinder, Marduk is called “the lord of the gods” and “the great lord”; likewise, the Bible says in Deuteronomy 10:17 “for the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God”; and Daniel 2:46 says, “The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings”. So the Cylinder and the Bible use the same/similar sentences. In addition, according to Daniel, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, believed in One God (monotheism), and it is known that the word used by Babylonians is “Marduk”, so that’s the god of gods, according to them. And this event is before Cyrus)(So, Marduk refers to the God of the Torah, Gospel and Qur’an, but Cyrus, or the person in charge of the cylinder, uses the name “Marduk”, in order to use the language of Babylonians in the cylinder. Likewise, for example, the word “God” in English (derived from Odin, Godan, ...), or “Dios” in Spanish (derived from Zeus, Deus, ...), have pagan origins, but, despite the pagan origin, people use these words to speak about the God of the Bible. That fact is confirmed by the article “The Universal God”, by the Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies (CAIS), which is the first and most comprehensive, informative and scholarly website, dedicated to the ancient Iran and Iranian civilisation. The article says, “Iranians were happy too to accept Marduk or Zeus as the local name for Ahuramazda” (Ahura Mazda is the creator and highest deity of Zoroastrianism, the state religion of the ancient Persia). So, it proves that Cyrus used the name “Marduk” for referring to the One God (i.e. the God of Israel))(In addition, according to the article “Marduk, the main Babylonian god” in “factsanddetails(dot)com”, “a poem, known as Enuma elish, dating from the reign of Nebuchadrezzar I (1124-03 BC), describes Marduk as being so powerful and all-encompassing that he has 50 names, each one a deity or of a divine attribute. He was called “lord of the gods of heaven and earth” ... “All nature, including man, was created by him. The destiny of kingdoms and individuals was in his hands” (Source: Kenneth Sublett, piney(dot)com). So, if Marduk is the creator of everything, powerful, all-encompassing…, then it is talking about the God of the Bible, so Cyrus is not talking in the Cyrus cylinder about other than the One God)(Saying that Marduk is other than the One God or the God of the Bible, is like saying that English speakers are referring to Odin, each time they use the word “God”, or like saying that Spanish speakers are referring to Zeus each time they use the word “Dios”. In conclusion, Cyrus was obviously monotheist)(Allah knows best)

8:8 That He might justify the truth and prove false the falsehood, even if the criminals disliked.

(A wrong interpretation is that Cyrus wrote the Cyrus cylinder, as if he were polytheist, as a strategy, so that the cylinder did not reflect Cyrus’ belief. That is a wrong interpretation because Babylonians (and Jews) were monotheists, before the advent of Cyrus. So, Cyrus is actually confirming monotheism)(The article “Cyrus cylinder” in wikipedia is wrong when it describes the cylinder “as an instrument of ancient Mesopotamian propaganda”. In that article is also wrong that “the cylinder was “the first attempt we know about running a society, a state with different nationalities and faiths – a new kind of statecraft”. It is known that Cyrus supported the “same faith” (monotheism), rather than “different faiths”. For example, Cyrus built a temple to the Jews in Jerusalem: the Bible says, in Ezra 1:1-2, “In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing: “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: “The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah”. So, Cyrus supported monotheism, and did not follow his own agenda, but followed God’s command)(Another point is that even if Cyrus really allowed pagan religions in the kingdom, it would indicate that his duty was to allow it. But it does not imply that he was polytheist or that he believed in multiple religions at once, because it is not possible to believe in multiple religions at once, due to its contradictions. Nevertheless, the Cyrus cylinder and the Bible account show that Cyrus favored monotheistic religions, rather than polytheistic)(There is no polytheism in Cyrus’ annexed territories, if polytheism had had any support, the whole empire would have not become monotheist. Notice that Cyrus did not annex modern India or modern China, so polytheism only remained outside Cyrus’ empire)(Allah knows best)

22:17 Indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associated with Allah - Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, over all things, Witness.

(Another point is that, quoting the article “Zoroastrianism in Iran” in Wikipedia, “although there are no inscriptions left from the time of Cyrus about his religion, the fire-altars found at Pasargadae, as well as the fact that he called his daughter Atossa, name of the queen of Vishtaspa (Zoroaster’s royal patron), suggests that he indeed may have been a Zoroastrian. … By the time of Darius the great, the empire was clearly Zoroastrian”. And according to the article “Zoroastrianism” in Wikipedia, Zoroastrianism has the features of the true religion: “monotheism, messianism, judgment after death, heaven and hell, and free will”. So, this information confirms that Cyrus is monotheist)(Another point is that Cyrus’ Zoroastrianism might differ from today’s Zoroastrianism.

Is Isa in the Qur’an the same as Jesus in the Bible? What was Jesus’ real name?

Is Isa in the Qur’an the same as Jesus in the Bible? What was Jesus’ real name?

4:171 O People of the Book, do not commit excess in your religion and do not say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus (‘isa), the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Glory be to Him, that He (should) have a son for Him. To Him whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.

(According to the context of the Verses of the Qur’an, it is obvious that “Isa, the Messiah” is “Jesus, the Messiah”, on the other hand, the Qur’an tells the true story of Jesus, so the Qur’an does not confirm that which did not really happen (e.g. the Qur’an confirms that Jesus was not crucified). The Qur’an specifies that Isa is the Messiah, and the son of Mary (4:171), and that he cured the blind and the leper (3:49), and that he was conceived / created in the womb of a virgin woman (3:47), and that God gave him the Gospel (5:46), etc., so “Isa, the Messiah” in the Qur’an is “Jesus, the Messiah” in the Gospel)(Allah knows best)

3:49 And a Messenger to the Children of Israel, "Indeed, I have come to you with a sign from your Lord - that I design for you from clay like the form of the bird, then I breath into it and it becomes a bird by the permission of Allah. And I cure the blind, and the leper, and I give life to the dead by the permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed, in that is surely a sign for you, if you are believers.

(There is no doubt that “Isa” in the Qur’an refers to “Jesus the Messiah”, but it is not clear at all that “Jesus” in the Bible is always “Jesus the Messiah”, because, in the Bible, there are two persons bearing the same name - Jesus. Ancient manuscripts of Matthew 27:16-17 have the name “Jesus Barabbas”, not just “Barabbas” (See the translations that are more faithful to those ancient manuscripts: “New International Version” or “Contemporary English Version”, or “Good News Translation”, or “Net Bible”). According to the Bible, Pilate, the governor of Judea, asked the crowd which prisoner was to be released “Jesus son of the father (aka “Jesus Barabbas”), or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” (Matthew 27:17). So, the conclusion is that the New Testament explicitly says that there were two characters bearing the same name (Jesus). It seems that the Christians mixed stories of the two characters; Jesus Barabbas blasphemed by bearing such a name, “the son of father (referring to God)”, because God does not beget; on the other hand, Jesus the Messiah never said that he was the son of God, because the words “Barabbas / son of the father” and “Messiah / son of Mary” are used in Matthew 27:17 to distinguish one Jesus from the other)(Allah knows best)

4:172 Never would the Messiah disdain to be a slave of Allah nor the Angels near. And whoever disdains His worship and is arrogant, then He will gather them towards Him all together.

(Another point is that someone who claims to be the “king of the Jews”, he is going to have to lead the rebellion against Rome. Jesus Barabbas is the one who rebelled against Rome. The punishment for rebellion is crucifixion; so Jesus Barabbas was crucified, not Jesus the Messiah. A proof that Jesus Barabbas was the “king of the Jews”, while “Jesus the Messiah” had not such a title, is that Matthew 2:1-2 say that Jesus, “the king of the Jews”, was born in Bethlehem in Judea, while the earliest Gospel says that Jesus came from Nazareth, so the two accounts are contradictory, but, in fact, they are two different persons bearing the same name (Jesus); so, one Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and another Jesus was born in Nazareth. The Qur’an confirms that Jesus the Messiah is from Nazareth, because the word “Christian” is literally translated as “Nazarene” (e.g. follower/s of the Nazarene). Matthew 2:2 says, “and asked, where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?”. So, Matthew 2:1-2 explicitly say that the one who was born in Bethlehem is the king of the Jews, rather than the one who was born in Nazareth)(According to Matthew 27:11, the governor asked the one who was to be crucified: “are you the king of the Jews? You have said so, Jesus replied”. So, according to the context (Matthew 27:11-13), despite Jews wanted to crucify the Messiah, they took “the King of the Jews” instead, (the one from Bethlehem); Matthew 27:37 confirms that: “above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is Jesus, the king of the Jews”. On the other hand, “Acts 3:6, 4:10, 10:38” confirm that “Jesus of Nazareth” is the Messiah (aka anointed one), rather than the one from Bethlehem)(The “Jesus” who uses the term “my father” and so, in Matthew, is Jesus Barabbas (aka “Jesus son of the father), rather than Jesus the Messiah)(Allah knows best)

14:4 And We did not sent any Messenger except in the language of his people so that he might make clear for them. Then Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

(The mother tongue of Jesus was Aramaic. “Jesus” in Syriac Aramaic (aka Syriac) is “Iso”, which is almost the same or very similar or corresponds to “Isa” in Arabic. Classical Arabic has only three vowels “a, i, u” (in long and short versions), so, at the time of Muhammad, people would have used “Isa”, instead of “Iso” or “Isho” in Syriac/Aramaic. The mother tongue of Muhammad is Arabic, so “Isa” is a proper or correct name in Arabic, because, according to Verse 14:4, “We did not sent any Messenger except in the language of his people”)(Regardless of this matter of having a very slight difference in spelling and/or pronunciation, it seems obvious that “Isa” and “Iso” are the same name)(Were the Arabs familiarized with the name “Isa” at the time of Muhammad? According to the article “Syriac language” in wikipedia, Syriac “became a major literary language throughout the Middle East from the 4th to the 8th centuries”, so the Arabs could have been familiarized with the word “Isa” at the time of Muhammad. This is also confirmed by an inscription in a monastery in southern Syria, which as early as 571 AD, bore the name “Isaniya” (“of the followers of Jesus”). This means that the name “Isa” was already in vogue among Syriac Christians in Arabia prior to the advent of Prophet Muhammad)(In regad to “Isa / Iso” spelled as “Isho”, according to the article “Shin (letter)” in Wikipedia, also spelled “Sin”, “its sound value is a voiceless sibilant, voiceless postalveolar fricative or voiceless alveolar sibilants (s)”; in other words, its sound in English can be “sh”, as in “ship”, or “s”, as in “sea and pass”, depending on the Semitic language; in the case of Arabic and Aramaic, according to the table “origins” in that article, “sh” (letter shin / sin) in Hebrew and Aramaic corresponds to “s” (letter sin) in Arabic. The conclusion, by observing that table, is that “Isho / Iso” in Aramaic corresponds to “s” in Arabic (i.e. “Isa”). So, “Isa” is the proper name and spelling)(Allah knows best)

20:113 And thus We have sent it down, the Qur’an in Arabic and have explained the warnings in it that they may fear or that it may cause them remembrance.

(In regard to which word was used at the time of Jesus, some people say that Jesus called himself “Eesho / Isho” in Aramaic, but some sources say that the Northern Palestinian Jews pronounced the letter “shin” as “seen”, then it can also be spelled as “Iso”)(It is wrongly said that Jesus was called “Yeshua” (Hebrew), because Jesus’ mother tongue was Aramaic, not Hebrew. According to the article “Yeshua” in wikipedia, “in English, the name “Yeshua” is extensively used by followers of Messianic Judaism, whereas East Syrian Christian denominations use the name “Isho” in order to preserve the Aramaic or Syriac name of Jesus”. So, Jesus’ name was not “Yeshua” at all)(According to the article, “Syriac as common language in Jesus’ time”, by the “Massachusetts Bible Society”, “Syriac is another name for Aramaic, which most scholars regard as the common language of Palestinian Jews of Jesus’s day”)(Allah knows best)

5:48 And We have revealed to you the Book in truth, confirming the Book that came before it and as a guardian over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their vain desires when the truth has come to you. For each of you We have made a law and a clear way. And if Allah had willed, He would have made you one community [and] but to test you in what He has given you; so race to good. To Allah you will all return, then He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.

(Another possibility or interpretation is that the Qur’an corrected the word used by Christians (“Iso”, “Isho” or whatever), in order to recover his exact real name and pronunciation. So that the word “Isa” was not arabized in order to be in Arabic language, but might have been the real name. This interpretation could be supported by Verse 5:48, which says, “a guardian over it” (the Qur’an over the Bible) implies that the Qur’an preserves that which is true in the Bible, but it does not confirm that which God did not reveal)(Nevertheless, it seems obvious that “Iso” and “Isa” are the same word, despite of the very slight differences in spelling and/or pronunciation, and it is Jesus’ real name, rather than “Jesus” in English or “yeshua” in Hebrew, which are not Jesus’ original name at all)(Allah knows best)

74:31 And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except Angels. And We have not made their number except (as) a trial for those who disbelieve – that those who were given the Scripture may be certain, and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who were given the Scripture and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say "What does Allah intend by this example?" Thus Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the hosts of your Lord except Him. And it is not but a reminder to (the) human beings.

(Some non-Muslims dispute about names, while it is evident that “Isa” is Jesus, the Messiah)(Allah knows best)

7:180 And to Allah the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave those who deviate concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.

(Some non-Muslims also wrongly dispute about “Allah”, while “Allah” is “the God” in English)(See below the article “Is Allah the God of the Bible?”)(Allah knows best)

Contrast words in the Qur’an

Contrast words in the Qur’an

22:11 And among mankind is (he) who worships Allah on an edge. And if good befalls him, he is content with it, and if a trial befalls him, he turns on his face. He has lost the world and the Hereafter. That is the clear loss.

(In regard to “world”, the nominal word “dun’ya” occurs 115 times in the Qur’an, as an adjective or noun, but in Verse 8:42, that word is in the context of “on the near (l-dun’ya) side of the valley”; and in Verse 67:5, it is in the context of “the nearest (l-dun’ya) heaven”, so “world” (referring to “this world”) only occurs 113 times)(On the other hand, in regard to “Hereafter”, the nominal “akhir” occurs 155 times in the Qur’an, as an adjective, noun and time adverb; but it occurs 113 times referring to “Hereafter”, because “akhir” occurs one time as “and last of us” in Verse 5:114; and it is 26 times as “Last Day” in Verses 9:18, 9:19, 9:29, 9:44, 9:45, 9:99, 29:36, 33:21, 58:22, 2:8, 2:62, 2:126, 2:177, 2:228, 2:232, 2:264, 3:114, 4:38, 4:39, 4:59, 4:136, 4:162, 5:69, 24:2, 60:6, 65:2; and 5 times as “later generations” in Verses 26:84, 37:78, 37:108, 37:119, 37:129; and 4 times as “later peoples” in Verses 43:56, 56:14, 56:40, 56:49; and 1 time as “later ones” in Verse 77:17; and 1 time as “the last of their call” in Verse 10:10; and 1 time as “latest religion” in Verse 38:7; and 1 time as “He is the First and the Last” in Verse 57:3; and 1 time as “for the last (transgression)” in Verse 79:25; and 1 time as “its end” in Verse 3:72)(So, 155 – 42 = 113 times)(The conclusion is that “world” occurs 113 times and “Hereafter” occurs 113 times too)(Note: Verse 17:7 has been included in those 113 times; it says “when the last (“l-akhirati”) promise came”, but according to the context, it can also be translated as “when the promise of the Hereafter (“l-akhirati”) comes”, because it refers to the Hereafter)(Note: Verse 28:70 is also included in those 113 times, because it obviously refers to the Hereafter “To Him all praises in the first and the last (akhirati / Hereafter)”)(Verse 29:20 is also include in those 113 times, because it also refers to the Hereafter, despite it is translated in the link below as “then Allah will produce the last (l-akhirata) creation”. The Hereafter is a creation or world in the afterworld)(Note: Verse 53:25 is also included in those 113 times; it is translated as “the last”, but it can also be translated as “for/(to) Allah (is/belongs) the Hereafter (”l-akhiratu”) and the first (life)”, because the context is about the “Hereafter”)(Allah knows best)

10:56 He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned.

(In regard to “life”, the root “ha ya ya” occurs 184 times in the Qur’an, but we consider 165 times, because we exclude 10 times in the context of “greeting” (4:86 (3), 10:10, 14:23, 24:61, 25:75, 33:44, 58:8 (2)); 4 times in the context of “shy(ness) / ashamed” (2:26, 28:25, 33:53 (2)); 5 times as “Ever-Living” (2:255, 3:2, 20:111, 25:58, 40:65), because it refers to God)(So 184 – 19 = 165 times)(On the other hand, in regard to “death” (mim waw ta), it occurs 165 times in the Qur’an)(So, “life” occurs 165 times and “death” occurs 165 times)(Note: the word “hayyatun” translated as “a snake” is included in those 165 times, because “hayyatun” means “to live”, so that Moses’ staff was living and moving)(Allah knows best)

It occurs 166 times if we exclude “the evildoer” (40:58), which occurs only once)(So, “good deeds” occurs 166 times, and “evil deeds” occurs 166 times)(Allah knows best)

4:12 And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they have a child, then for you is a fourth of what they leave, after any will they have made and of any debt. And for them is fourth of what you leave, if have no child. But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave after any will you have made and of any debt. And if a man (rajulun) or woman (im’ra-atun) whose wealth is to be inherited has no parent or child but has a brother or sister, then for each one of them is a sixth. But if they are more than that, then they share a third after any will that may have been made and of any debt without being harmful. An ordinance from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Forbearing.
