The Aga Khan: "I am amazed by
the ignorance of Islam".
His
Highness, the Aga Khan, is the 49th direct
descendant of Mohammad, through Ali, his cousin who married Fatima,
the Prophet's daughter.
The
leader is the 49th descendant
of Mohammad, one of the principal spiritual leaders of Muslim Shi'ites:
"I think
that monotheistic religions, having an analogous BELIEF
IN AN ONLY GOD, should and must dialogue. The
three religions which Abraham
inspired have many more common facets than those which
divide them.

1.
if the prophet noah [as] exhorted his people to embark, 'In THE NAME of

2. if the prophet solomon [as] began his 'honorable letter
- kitabun

'bismillaahir rahmaanir rahiim' - (An-Naml:
27:29,30)
[see details below];
3. and above all, if allah himself exhorted the holy
prophet [sas] and the believers to, 'Eat of that over which THE NAME of
Allah hath been mentioned';
HOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANT is it
for muslims to begin surah al-fatihah and their daily salat- -prayer
with 'bismillaahir rahmaanir rahiim'
-- IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, RAHMAN, RAHIM'?
important
noah concluded his
exhortation with, 'Inna Rabbī Laghafūrun Raĥīmun -- Lo! my
Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.'
what does it mean?
is
it possible that 'ALLAH'S FORGIVENESS AND MERCY' is directly linked to 'bismillaahir
rahmaanir rahiim' ?
if so, what kind of 'FORGIVENESS
AND MERCY' could some of the muslims ever hope for AFTER they had
knowingly violated and
adulterated surah al-fatihah
vis-ŕ-vis the great qur'an and their daily salat-prayer by dropping
'bismillaahir rahmaanir rahiim'
therefrom? and also by abandoning the 'noah's
ark -- the holy imamate' in this day and age?
on the other hand, have they closed
the DOOR of 'allah's FORGIVENESS AND MERCY' upon themselves by
doing so and/or by following the saudi wahhabi royals and the likes of zohurul
hoque?
33:67.
And they say: Our Lord! Lo! we obeyed our princes and great men, and
they misled us from the Way. 37:32. So we led you astray, for
we ourselves were erring.
37:33. So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with
another. 37:34. Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.

Pickthal's Quran Translation
2.106:
C107. The word which I have translated by the word "revelations"
is Ayat. See C.41 and n. 15.
It is not only used for verses
of the Quran, but in a general sense for God's
revelations, as in ii. 39 and for other Signs of God in history or
nature, or miracles, as in ii. 61. It has even been used for human
signs and tokens of wonder, as, for example, monuments or landmarks
built by the ancient people of AD (xxvi. 128).
Yusuf Ali's Commentary from QuranTrans
i.
Second, the
Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "When you recite
‘al-Hamdu li Llah,’ recite
‘Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim,’ for it is the Sum of the
Qur’an (Umm al-Qur’an), and the Compriser of the Scripture (Umm al-Kitab),
and the Seven Oft-Repeated [Verses] (al-Sab‘ al-Mathani)—and
‘Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim’ is one of its verses"
(Bayhaqi, 2.45; and Daraqutni, 1.312),
ii. 15. Each verse of the
Sūra is called an Āyat (آية)
(plural. Āyāt (آيات)), which means also a
sign. A verse of revelation is a Sign of God's wisdom and goodness The
Āyat is the true unit of the Qur·ān.

Fatihah

as
can be seen, the holy qur'an, ahadith and the sunni/shia interpretations
thereof -- are all in accord and very clear in their overall purport with
regards to the tremendous importance of surah al-fatihah vis-ŕ-vis the
great qur'an.
note:
'and ‘Bismi
Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim’ is one of its
verses -- it is an 'Āyat.'
and 'The Āyat is the true unit of the Qur·ān.' by allah's infinite
grace and mercy, i have proved this before on the strength of HQ: 15:86,87
& 27:1,30. please click on the link for details.
now,
what happens when that very, 'true unit of the qur'an' is violated and broken
WITHOUT any divine authority whatsoever?
how could anyone
thereafter, still claim that he is practicing the 'same islam' as
was originally revealed to, preached and practiced by our beloved holy
prophet muhammad [sas]? and/or is also following the same divinely
protected and unadulterated holy qur'an that was revealed to him? and the list
goes on.
2:79. Woe, then, to
those who write the book with their hands and then say: This
is from Allah, so that they may take for it a small price; therefore woe
to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they
earn.

2:106. Ma

substitute something better or similar:
-- Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things? Yusuf

QUESTION
and
more importantly, with what did zohurul
hoque
'REPLACE' his unexplained or mysterious abrogation?
note how many
fundamental issues, all of them of highly SPIRITUAL nature and
significance had to be addressed first before the messenger of allah [sas]
could accede to their demands.
the divine order as
listed by allah
a. 'And when OUR MANIFEST PROOFS are recited' ;
b. 'meeting with Us' ;
c. 'Bring a QUR'AN other than
this' ;
d. 'or change it' ;
do you understand the meaning and
significance of the aforesaid? think about it seriously, as every aspect of
the true islam resonates on it.
that said, the holy
prophet and messenger of allah [sas] had NO control over any of the above
issues and most certainly, HE HAD NO AUTHORITY to replace the holy
qur'an itself. in other words, even his personal and spiritual ambitions if he
had any, could not override allah's authority in any way, shape or form.
e.
'It is not for me to change it
of myself--Nafsī.'
this episode shows how serious
this matter really was at the time and frankly, nothing had changed since.
however,
there is another fundamental issue here which may have been overlooked by zohurul
hoque. for all practical purposes,
this man had also denied the biblical prophecies and thereby, the prophethood
of our beloved holy prophet [sas]. this is despite the fact that he had
repeatedly shown and claimed in his publication that some of the following
prophecies were fulfilled in the holy prophet [sas].
DENIED:
the bible
'my
words which he shall speak in my name'
Deuteronomy 18 17
And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have
spoken. 18 I will raise them up a
Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will
put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto
them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come
to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my
words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of
him.
'open
the book & the seven seals'
Revelation 5:1-5 And I saw
in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on
the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming
with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book,
and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither
under the earth, was able to open the book,
neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to
open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders
saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of
the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath
prevailed to open the book, and to loose the
seven seals thereof.
Isaiah 29:12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying,
Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
Isaiah 28:10 (ASV) For it
is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon
line; here a little, there a little. Isaiah 28:13 (ASV) Therefore shall
the WORD OF JEHOVAH be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon
precept; line upon line, LINE UPON LINE; HERE A LITTLE, there a little;
that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

DENIED: the
holy qur'an
A.
HQ. 73:15 SHAKIR: Surely We have sent to you a Messenger, a witness
against you, as We sent a messenger to Firon.
B. 15:86. Lo! Thy Lord! He is the All-Wise Creator. 15:87.
We have given thee seven of the oft-repeated (verses) "_A_N_D_"
the great Qur'an.
C.
zohurul hoque Surah Fatihah,
as the name indicates, is the Opening
Chapter of
the Holy Qur-an. The "Opt
repeated seven verses"
(15:87) of this chapter are recited many times everyday during the Salat or
daily Prayers. This chapter is also called Umm al-Kitab or the Gist of the
Book, that means, it contains the sum and substance of the Holy Qur-an
E. 96:1. Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and
Cherisher, Who created-
F.
17:106. And it is a Quran which We have revealed in portions so that you may
read it to the people by slow degrees, and We have revealed it, revealing in
portions.
Shakir's Quran Translation
G.
21:107. We sent thee not save as a mercy un to the
worlds -- 107. Wama arsalnaka illa rahmatan
lilAAalameena.
H.
11:17. Is he then who has with him MANIFEST PROOF
from his Lord, and a WITNESS FROM HIM
recites it and before it (is) the Book of Musa, a guide
and a mercy? -- 'Afaman Kāna
`Alaá Bayyinatin Min Rabbihi Wa Yatlūhu Shāhidun
Minhu Wa Min Qablihi Kitābu Mūsaá 'Imāmāan
Wa Raĥmatan.
[Pooya/Ali
Commentary 4:70]
The
"Imaman
wa rahmatan (guide
and mercy)"
and "the witness between the Holy Prophet and the people is he who has
the knowledge of the book" is Imam Ali (see commentary of al-Hud : 17
and al-Rad 43 for authentic references).
[Pooya/Ali
Commentary 11:17]
There
are several traditions reported on the authority of Ahl ul Bayt, and also
narrated by well-known Muslim scholars like Jalal al Din al Suyuti in Durr
al Manthur, Muhammad bin Ahmad Qartabi in Tafsir Qartabi, Sayyid Hashim
Bahrayni in Tafsir Burhan, Abd Ali bin Jumah Hawyazi in Tafsir Nur al
Thaqalayn, Abu Ali al Tabrasi in Tafsir Majma al Bayan, Abu Ishaq al
Thalabi in Tasir al Kabir, and Abu Nu-aym in Hilyatul Awliya that
shahid in this verse refers to Ali ibn abi Talib, just as shahid
in verse 43 of ar Rad also refers to Imam Ali.
In
reply to a question Imam Ali said that in "Is he then (like unto him)
who has a clear proof from his Lord, and
a witness, from Him, follows him," the
Holy Prophet is the divine "bayyanah" and
I am the witness, guide and mercy.
Allah
has declared Ali to be the Imam
who alone testifies the truth about Allah and His Prophet, and like the
Holy Prophet who is "mercy unto the world", he
is also "mercy'?
because both of them are from one and the same divine light
=
11. 17:
C1512. "A witness from
Himself': i.e., the Book which was given to Al-Mustafa, the Holy
Qur-An, which is compared to the original Revelation given to Moses. We
make no difference between one true and genuine Message and another, nor
between one apostle and another,-for they all come from the One True God.
C1513. "Guide":
the Arabic word here is Imam, a leader, a guide, one that directs to the
true Path. Such a direction is an
instance of the Mercy and Goodness of Allah to man. The Qur-An and the
Prophet Muhammad are also called, each, a Guide and a Mercy, and so are
these epithets applicable to previous Books and Prophets.
Yusuf Ali's Commentary from QuranTrans
=
[Pooya/Ali
Commentary 2:265]
because it is a
universal religion, perfected and completed by Allah who has prescribed
mercy for Himself in verses 12 and 54 of al An-am.

17:82. And We reveal of the Qur'an that which
is a healing and a mercy for believers--wanunazzilu

Pickthal's Quran Translation
=
note: all of the above named 'rahmats-mercies'
have descended directly from RAHMAN. in other words, they were his
manifestations in different forms.
please remember that only 'he is
high above all else'. he is the universal 'SOUL OF MERCY- NAFSI
- HIR - RAHMAH.' see i. & j. above.
in short, if and when you drop or remove the
opening verse namely, 'bismillaahir
rahmaanir rahiim' from your daily salat and the holy qur'an WITHOUT
ANY DIVINE AUTHORITY, ONLY you have FORSAKEN:
i. the holy prophet muhammad [sas] ;
ii. and his mission namely;
iii. the true islam;
iv. and the holy qur'an;
v. as well, DEPRIVED yourself of the DIVINE
'MERCY- RAHMAH' in all its forms.
vi. and above all, you have DENIED
RAHMAN, the CREATOR, SOUL AND RUH--SPIRIT of and in your very human
being and existence thereof.
=
on
the other hand, please note that zohurul
hoque had
surpassed this
DIVINE AUTHORITY in every sense of the term. hence, what does that make him?
the following section is very,
very important indeed. it cannot be emphasized more strongly.
the gravity of this matter speaks for itself. and moreover, it concerns each
and every muslim brethren, regardless of his sect and creed. so, please don't
take it lightly. rather, follow it with some intelligence and rationale.

7:172. And when
your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their backs, their
descendants, and made them bear witness against their own souls: Am
I not your Lord? They said: Yes! we bear witness. Lest you should
say on the day of resurrection: Surely we were heedless of this. 7:173. Or
you should say: Only our fathers associated others (with Allah) before,
and we were an offspring after them: Wilt Thou then destroy us for what
the vain doers did? Shakir's Quran Translation

or call upon Rahman:
by whatever name ye call upon Him,
(it is well): for to Him belong

Neither speak thy Prayer--SALAT...
Yusuf Ali's Quran Translation
28:85. Verily He Who ordained the
Qur'an for thee, will bring thee back to the Place of
Return. Say: "My Lord knows best who it is that brings true guidance,
and who is in manifest--MUBIIN --
error." 28:86. And thou hadst not expected that the
Book would be sent to thee except as a
Mercy from thy Lord: Therefore lend not thou support in any way to
those who reject (Allah's Message). 28:87. And let nothing keep thee back
from the Signs
of Allah -- [AAYAATILLAAHI -- revelations
of ALLAH, navali], after they have been revealed to thee:
and invite (men) to thy Lord, and be not of the company of those who join
gods with Allah. 28:88. And call not, besides Allah, on another god. There
is no god but He. Everything (that exists) will perish except His
own Face -- WAJHAH. To Him belongs the Command, and to Him
will ye (all) be brought back.

ahadith on
'bismillaahir rahmaanir rahiim' & 'surah fatihah'
| 723)
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
Allah's
Apostle said, "Whoever does not recite Al-Fatiha
in his prayer, his prayer is invalid."
528)
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Mu'alla:
He then
said, "Shall I not teach you the most superior Surah in the
Qur'an?" He said, "(It is), 'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of
the worlds. ' (i.e., Surat Al-Fatiha) which
consists of seven repeatedly recited Verses and the Magnificent
Qur'an which was given to me."
226)
Narrated Abu Said Al-Mualla:
Then
he added, "Shall I tell you the
most superior Sura
in the Qur'an
before I go out of the mosque?" When the Prophet intended to go
out (of the Mosque), I reminded him and he said, "That is: 'Alhamdu-lillahi
Rabbil-'Alamin (Surat-al-fatiha)' which is the seven oft-repeated
verses (Al-Mathani) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to
me."
227)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's
Apostle said, "The Um (substance) of the Qur'an is the seven
oft-repeated verses (Al-Mathani) and is the Great Quran (i.e.
Surat-al-Fatiha)."
419)
Narrated Talha bin 'Abdullah bin 'Auf:
I offered
the funeral prayer behind Ibn Abbas and he recited Al-Fatiha and said,
"You should know that it
(i.e. recitation of Al-Fatiha) is the tradition of the Prophet
Muhammad."
Zohurul
Hoque:
and truly we have GIVEN YOU SEVEN OF REPEATED [Ayats
of surah fatihah. 1:1-7. which is recited more often than any other
surah, AS IN EVERY SALAT] and [which is equivalent to] THE
GRAND QURAN [because this garland of seven pearls contains the
essence of the entire qur'an Bu 65:1' [pp. 439.]

Why
the Shaafis Recite the Basmalah Aloud In the Salat
that
the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "There is
no prayer for whoever does not recite the Fatiha" (Bukhari,
1.192). That the Basmala is the Fatiha’s first verse is shown by
several facts:
First, the Sahaba affirmed nothing in the collation of the Qur’an (mushaf)
of ‘Uthman’s time except what was Qur’an, and they unanimously placed
the Basmala at the beginning of every sura except surat al-Tawba.
Second, the
Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "When you
recite ‘al-Hamdu li Llah,’ recite ‘Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani
r-Rahim,’ for it is the
Sum of the Qur’an (Umm al-Qur’an), and the Compriser of the
Scripture (Umm al-Kitab), and
the Seven Oft-Repeated [Verses] (al-Sab‘ al-Mathani)—and ‘Bismi
Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim’ is one of its verses"
(Bayhaqi,
2.45; and Daraqutni, 1.312),
a hadith related with a rigorously authenticated (sahih) channel of
transmission to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), and
through another chain to Abu Hurayra alone (Allah be well pleased with
him).
Third, Umm Salama relates: "The Prophet (Allah bless him and give
him peace) used to recite: ‘Bismi
Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. al-Hamdu li Llahi Rabbi l-‘Alamin,’
separating each phrase"; a hadith which Hakim said was rigorously
authenticated (sahih) according to the conditions of Bukhari and
Muslim, which Imam Dhahabi corroborated (al-Mustadrak, 1.232).
Daraqutni also relates from Umm Salama that "the
Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) when
he used to recite the Qur’an would pause in his recital verse by
verse: ‘Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:
al-Hamdu li Llahi Rabbi l-‘Alamin: ar-Rahmani r-Rahim: Maliki yawmi
d-din.’" Daraqutni said, "Its ascription is rigorously
authenticated (sahih); all of its narrators are reliable" (Daraqutni,
1.312–13). These hadiths
show that the Basmala was recited aloud by the Prophet (Allah bless
him and give him peace) as part of the Fatiha.

note HQ. 15:86-89
the divine
revelation of:
i. 'surah fatihah' ;
ii. 'seven of the oft-repeated' ;
iii. "_A_N_D_" 'the great
qur'an' -
iv. and the warner 'MANIFEST--MUBIIN.'
have all been
directly associated with, 'Lo! Thy Lord! He is the All-Wise Creator.'
and if that is the case and it is, how important is 'bismillaahir
rahmaanir rahiim'
i.
to the 'surah fatihah ;
ii. 'seven of the oft-repeated'
iii. "_A_N_D_" the
great qur'an' ;
iv. islam ;
v. and the PRIMAL 'MAN' [RAHMAN 55:1-5; 30:30]
who is not only allah's
highest and/or the greatest creation but also HE IS the warner
'MANIFEST--MUBIIN'? had it not been for him, 'islam' would not have been, pure
and simple.
in other words, you
cannot VIOLATE one without 'VIOLATING' the other and vice versa - in the above
order of the divine revelation. simply put, this VIOLATION is
illimitable, regardless of your faith and piety in islam and/or the love for
allah and his rasul [sas].

is RIGHTLY PLACED at the beginning of the qu’ran, as summing up, in
marvellously terse and comprehensive words, man’s relation to allah
in contemplation and prayers.
15.
Each verse of the Sūra is called an Āyat
(آية) (plural. Āyāt (آيات)),
which means also a sign.
A verse of revelation is a Sign of God's
wisdom and goodness just as much as God s beautiful handiwork in the
material creation or His dealings in history are signs to us, if we
would understand. Some Āyats are long, and some are short. The
Āyat is the true unit of the Qur·ān.

seven verses form a complete unit

and on many other occasions. Cf. xv. 87.

To make us contemplate these boundless gifts of God, the formula:
"In the name of God Most Gracious, Most Merciful": IS
PLACED BEFORE EVERY SŪRA OF THE QUR·ĀN (except the
ninth), and repeated at the beginning of every act by the
Muslim who dedicates his life to God, and whose hope is in His Mercy.

– Al Fatihah (The Opening)
[Pooya/Ali
Commentary 1:1]
BISMILLAHIR-RAHMANIR-RAHIM,
as the first verse, is the part and parcel of al
Fatihah.
Aqa
Mahdi Puya says:
The
Holy Prophet said:
LA
SALATA ILLA BIFATIHATUL KITAB WA BISMILLAHIR
RAHMANIR RAHIM MIN AYATIHA
There
is no prayer (salat) without al Fatihah, and
bismillahir
rahmanir rahim is one of its verses.
The Ahl ul Bayt (the thoroughly purified members of the family of the Holy
Prophet), and the scholars, who follow their teachings, time and again, had
verified this saying of the Holy Prophet. So according to Muhammad and ali
Muhammad bismillahir
rahmanir rahim is a
verse by itself, which, if not recited
as a part of al Fatihah, the prayer is rendered null and void. It
is not only the component of al Fatihah
but also of every surah except al Bara-at.
=
It
is narrated from Hadrat
Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s.) that :
"
All secrets of Allah are in Divine Books; and the contents of all those
Divine Books are comprised in the Qur'an;and what is found in the Qur'an is
condensed in Sura Al-Fatihah, and what is in Al-Fatihah is gathered in /bismillah
/, and what is in / bismillah / is concentrated in /b/, (the first letter of
' Bism-il-lah ' )..." (2) Makhzan-ul-'Irfan, Commentary, vol. 1, p. 28
& Masabih-ul-Anwar vol. 1,p.435

The
chapter has been called by quite a number of names, out of which the
following ten are more authentic. These are: Al-Fatiha, Al-Sa1at, A1-hamd,
Umm al-Qur'an, Al-Qur'an al 'azim, Al-Sab' al-Mathani, Umm al-Kitab,
A1-Shifa, Al-Ruqya and Al-Kanz.
These names throw a flood of light upon the extensive import of the chapter.
Al-Salat (the Prayer) signifies that the chapter forms a perfect prayer and
is an integral part of the institutional Prayers of Islam.
Al-Sab' al-Mathani (the Oft-repeated Seven Verses) signifies that the seven
short verses of the chapter virtually answer all the spiritual needs of man.
It also signifies that the chapter must be repeated in every rak'at of
Prayer.

1. In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful
2. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds,

however, when you [Zohurul
Hoque] willfully REMOVE
this qur'anic foundation from its allocated place in allah's
revelation and creation as well, the qur'anic context WITHOUT
ANY DIVINE AUTHORITY, you have nothing else to stand on, regardless.
- BECAUSE this is AN OUTRIGHT
VIOLATION of allah's revelations,
- the holy qur'an and islam.
- it is the VIOLATION of the holy
prophet's [sas] teachings.
- this VIOLATION goes against the
very core of the TRUE ISLAM
- as revealed in the holy qur'an

- it is a VIOLATION of your own
personal faith and practice of ISLAM.

in
short, if and when you drop or remove the opening verse namely, 'bismillaahir
rahmaanir rahiim' from the holy
qur'an WITHOUT ANY DIVINE AUTHORITY, ONLY
YOU have VIOLATED your trust
and severed all ties with ALLAH, RAHMAN, RAHIIM, who is your RABB, the GOD.
after
the said violation, how could you still 'serve or worship' him and/or
even call upon him to help or defend you?
in
order to understand the rationale behind this stupendous question, please review
each of the following verses with some FAITH and intelligence, as exhorted in
the holy qur'an.
IMPORTANCE
of the 'NAME of allah' in the holy qur'an.
CONDITION:
'IF'
ye are believers

Eat of that over which
THE NAME of Allah
hath been mentioned,
'IF'
ye are believers in
His revelations -- BI- AAYAATIHII.
[Zohurul
Hoque: 'his messages,' pp. 233]
=
NOTE
ALLAH'S ABSOLUTE CONDITION:
uttering
the 'NAME' of allah' before taking your food -- maybe constituted as
an act of worship, that is only, 'IF
ye are believers in His revelations -- BI-AAYAATIHII.
=
please
note that allah did not say, 'if
you are believers in 'his
messages --risalatahu'-
as is often misconstrued and mistranslated by zohurul
hoque. see pp. 234-5. on the contrary, allah
himself had made a very clear and unambiguous distinction between the two
qur'anic 'words'.
CORRECT
TRANSLATION
by Zohurul Hoque
'āyatun
- a SIGN' - & - 'risalatahu -- His
message'
Zohurul
Hoque: 6:125 And when a SIGN comes
to them, they say: We shall never believe until we are given the like of
what has been given to the rasuls of Allah. Allah knoweth best where
to place His message
[pp. 234-5].
=
in
short, if and when you drop or remove the opening verse namely, 'bismillaahir
rahmaanir rahiim' from
your daily salat and the holy qur'an WITHOUT
ANY DIVINE AUTHORITY, your very
consumption of food and, utterance of the holy verse over your food or before
its consumption, may be constituted as an act of defiance and transgression
per se. you don't have to be an attorney at law or a law student to
know this simple QUR'ANIC LAW and its consequences, if violated.
PRAY
TO ALLAH
OR PRAY TO RAHMAN
17:110.
qul ad`u allaha au ad`u arrahmana -- Say: "Call upon Allah, or
call upon Rahman:
by whatever name ye call upon Him,
(it is well): for to Him belong
the Most Beautiful Names.
Neither speak thy Prayer--SALAT
Yusuf Ali's Quran Translation
=
important
-
you
can't pray to one and ignore the other.
-
moreover, not
only are you not praying to either one of them;
-
but also you
are NOT even praying -
-
'WITH/IN
THE NAME OF ALLAH' -- as
in
-
'BISMILLAAH.'
-
remember,
you have dropped it already.
therefore,
how could you perform your daily salat without addressing it DIRECTLY TO:
through
surah al-fatihah?
now
let's look at another very important surah in this regards.
YUSUFALI: It is a Revelation sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most
Merciful.
PICKTHAL: A revelation of
the Mighty, the Merciful,
SHAKIR: A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.
meaning: YASIN
[sa] is a 'REVELATION OF aziizir RAHIIM,' in the same way as
Muhammad [sas] was the 'revelation of Rahman' -- as in, 'rahmatan
lilAAalameena'.
please note
that the preceding two verses are re: YASIN ONLY. and when read with
verses 1 & 2 combined, it changes the whole CONTEXT AND CONNOTATION of allah's
revelation of this surah, as explained often in the past by me.
in
short, if and when you drop or remove the opening verse namely, 'bismillaahir
rahmaanir rahiim' from
your daily salat and the holy qur'an WITHOUT
ANY DIVINE AUTHORITY, ONLY you have
FORSAKEN 'YASIN & RAHIIM'
simultaneously, no two ways about it.
therefore,
how could you acknowledge or call upon either :
-
[zh#]
1:(?) allah?
-
[zh#] 1:2
rahman?
-
[zh#] 1:2
or rahim?
after dropping:

note
that according to the holy qur'an ONLY, 'RAHMAN' is the LORD god besides
whom there is no deity save him. in other words, rahman is NOT an attribute of
god as often misconstrued by the muslim scholars, etc.
rather,
it is a proper name of the god. it is NOTHING less than 'ALLAH' and vice
versa. moreover, allah himself had equated both names and commanded you
to call upon HIM BY _E_I_T_H_E_R_ _O_N_E_ OF THEM during your SALAT--PRAYER! nothing
could be more clearer.
therefore,
there is no such thing as 'worship ALLAH ALONE' in islam, as claimed by you
one too many times in your publication.
zohurul
hoque: Allah, by disclosing His identity to man, was
so kind as to teach him that man should worship
Him alone.

teaches you how to pray in islam:

note: as you can see,
nowhere in this surah are we taught to pray to allah alone.
ONLY YOU among a few
others, have adulterated your own translation by inserting the word
'alone' TWICE in one sentence. more often than not, you have allowed
your personal faith and zeal to prevail over the divine facts. your
overall translation of the holy qur'an had been subjected to the same 'faith
and fate.' and, that indeed is very admirable because faith power works
wonders.

You alone(?,
navali) we do serve, and to You alone(?,
navali) we beseech for help. |
anyhow, we find the
said adulteration in spite of your presumptuous claim to the contrary. allow
me to quote you again, if i may.
Very
accurate translation - very
loyal to actual Arabic verses. No 'extra' word introduced suggesting these
are equivalent of 'revealed' text. No Arabic word omitted from
translation.
=
note that
nowhere in the 'Umm
al-Kitab*
or the Gist of the Book'
[Zohurul Hoque],
did
allah say even once that 'SIRATAAL MUSTAQIIM --the right path,' was 'his path
or 'the path of allah' -- simply nowhere.
it
ONLY says, it is, 'SIRATAL-LADHINA -- the path of those.' please prove it if you believe otherwise.
'Umm
al-Kitab'*
|
although the surah under discussion, contains the sum and substance of the holy qur'an, the qur'anic/hadithic word
'umm -
mother' sounds much better because it has that 'DIVINE TOUCH' to it -- which, for all practical purposes, is lost in the interpretation,
'Gist of the Book'.
i. for example, would you call your mother -- 'my gist' ;
and/or the 'gist of her family' or children?
ii. would you tell someone that she is 'my gist' meaning this is 'my mother'?
iii. how would your very supportive wife viz., safia khanam [preface x],
iv. react if her child/children addressed her as 'my/our gist' instead of 'my/our
mother'?
[see Zohurul Hoque : 'Umm -- mother' & 'Umm al-Kitab' -- 'mother of the book' - HQ. 43:4' pp. 227,
851.] |
my point
being: if you cannot 'PROSTRATE--SAJDAH'
to the holy qur'an [HQ. 84:21] please
accord the same kind of respect to it as well, if you do not mind.
2:200. And when ye have completed your devotions, then remember Allah as ye
remember your fathers or with a more lively remembrance. But of mankind is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world," and he hath no portion in the Hereafter.
6:20. Those whom We have given the Book recognize him as they recognize their sons; (as for) those who have lost their
souls, they will not believe.

in
short, when you come this far in surah al-fatihah and let ONLY ALLAH GUIDE YOU --
you will insha'allaah spontaneously, allow your 'SOUL -- NAFS' to embark on a new spiritual journey
and/or to enter into a different realm of spiritual
reality altogether, where personal faith and fanaticism has NO room at all. if
you are to make any SPIRITUAL PROGRESS here then that extra baggage has to go
long before you perform your daily salat--prayer.
at
this point in surah al-fatihah, your islam should turn into 'IMAN--FAITH'
where ONLY the will of allah COUNTS and not yours. see HQ. 15:86-99 &
49:14-18.

of Allah --
aayaa-tillaahi -- rejected
and derided, (ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they
engage in some other conversation. Lo!
in that case (if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them.

hell; Pickthal's Quran Translation

divine revelation and the message thereof is very clear. AND if you, all
faithful muslims out there continue to associate yourselves with such
violators of 'allah's revelations -- aayaa-tillaahi'

attacks and intrigues. they will all share the same fate in the end i.e., in

The
Holy Quran Translation
The
translation of the Holy Quran presented here is the Abdullah Yusuf Ali
translation improved and expanded
by the Quran translation committee set up by King Fahd ibn Abdul Aziz
and the General Presidency of the Departments of Islamic Researches, Ifta,
Call and Guidance of Saudi Arabia.
The
Holy Qur-ăn is published by:
King Fahd Holy Qur-ăn Printing Complex.
P.O. Box 3561 Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah.
Saudi Arabia.
Preface
to the Translation of the Qur-ăn
The Glorious
Qur-ă is the Book of Allah, the Wise and Worthy of all Praise, Who has
promised to safeguard it from
any violations in its purity.
A
number of individuals have in the past ventured to translate the Qur-ăn,
but their works have generally been private attempts, greatly influenced by
their own prejudices. In
order to produce a reliable translation free from personal bias, a Royal
decree (No. 19888, dated 16/8/1400 AH) was issued by the Custodian of the
Two Holy Mosques, King Fahd ibn Abdul Aziz, at that time the deputy prime
minister, authorizing the General Presidency of the Departments of Islamic
Researches, Ifta, Call and Guidance to undertake the responsibility of
revising and correcting a particular translation which would be selected for
this purpose and made publicly available later.
To
accomplish this enormous task, a number of committees were formed,
comprising scholars well qualified both in Islamic Shari'a and the English
language. Some of these scholars were associated with the General Presidency
of the Departments of Islamic Researches, Ifta, Call and Guidance.
The translation
by the late Ustadh Abdullah Yusuf
Ali was
consequently chosen for; its distinguishing characteristics, such as a
highly elegant style, a choice of
words close to the meaning of the original text, accompanied by
scholarly notes and commentaries.
According
to the Royal decree (No. 12412, dated 27/10/1405 AH),
this translation is printed at King Fahd Holy Qur-ăn Printing Complex in
Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah and also with coordination of the General Presidency
of the Departments of Islamic Researches, Ifta, Call and Guidance.

| Text in
page background are comments as to why Abdullah
Yusuf Ali's translation is deemed inaccurate
or incorrect.
Comments:
1. La raiba means there is "no doubt"; Fihi
means "in it". So the correct translation is "there
is no doubt in it". Yusuf
Ali has translated it as "sure, without doubt". The
translation does not conform
to the Arabic wordings.
2. Li means "for"; al-Muttaqin means
"the reverent". The word has been used as a Noun in
Passive Participle. So the correct
translation is "for the reverent". In Yusuf
Ali's translation, "To those who fear Allah", he
has not only inserted the word "Allah" as extra, but also
converted the Noun into a Verb. The Arabic of "To those who
fear Allah" is "li-lladhina yakhshauna-llaha".

in other
words, although Zohurul Hoque was fully aware of those earlier translations of
the holy qur'an, upon which he heavily depended for the most part, he adopted
a radically different and diametrically opposite approach overall. and
in the process, not only did he practically revise all the previous editions,
simultaneously but also he 'MUTILATED'
the divine message of the holy qur'an, as he would put it.

ABDULLAH
YUSUF ALI
( 1872 - 1948 A.D. )
Abdullah Yusuf
Ali was born in a family of the
Bohra community in Bombay, India, in 1289 A.H. 1872 A.D.
His father, a
merchant, was a very religious man who made sure that his son learned Quran
before anything else. ... In addition to studying contemporary knowledge at
school, Abdullah continued to receive lessons
in Arabic language and never ceased in his studies of the Quran.
After studying
what was written about the Quran in both European and Eastern languages, he
returned to India and took up new residence in Lahore where
he became the Dean of the Islamic College. He then began his
monumental work of translating and commentating on the Quran. Abdullah later
died in Lahore in 1367 A.H. 1948 A.D.
It has been more
than 60 years since his complete work of translations
and commentary of the Holy Quran was made available to the world.
His pride and joy in The Holy Quran: Text, Translation and Commentary
has made a tremendous impact upon the English-reading Muslims and
non-muslims alike. His work is by far the most well-known, and most
well-respected by 'Ulama, i.e, Scholars, and 'Amma, i.e, the general public,
in the English language work of the Quran
=
anyhow, with the
exception of the late rashad khalifa, none of the above named muslim
translators of the holy qur'an, including Ifta,
Call and Guidance of Saudi Arabia, ventured to edit the revealed arabic
text of the holy qur'an.
NOTE: the latter
i.e., the saudi wahhabis had dropped
it from their daily salah-prayer.
despite the said
omission from their daily salah, all of them have retained the opening
statement of surah al-fatihah 'as is' -- and also translated the same into
english. in accordance with HQ. 15:87, most of them have treated it as the
opening verse of the said surah.
but not so dr.
zohurul hoque. some may argue that he begins every new chapter
[EXCEPT SURAH AL-FATIHAH & AL-TAWBA], of the qur'anic translation with the
opening statement viz., - 'With the name of Allah, most Gracious, most
Rewarding,' so what's the big deal?
enigmatic
& deceptive pauline style and approach 'incorporated' in the
english translation of the holy qur'an by a twofaced -or- multifaceted
innovator
well, that in and of
itself, is the big deal BECAUSE you are dealing with a disingenuous innovator,
who would like you to believe in his non-qur'anic
fabrications as the gospel truth.
having said
that, it is a well known fact among both the christian and the muslim scholars
that paul
of tarsus
was the founder and innovator of the pauline christian faith, as we have it
today. not only did he deliberately distort, misinterpret and misrepresent the
old testament but also he abrogated 'jesus christ's islamic teachings' with
his pagan cult and pre-christian paganism.
unfortunately,
zohurul hoque
followed in his footsteps almost to the letter. if you have any doubt about
the aforesaid then please, i urge you to remember
his bombastic claim - quoted elsewhere, and the following facts.
ABROGATION
OF THE HOLY QUR'AN IN THE 21ST CENTURY
like the late rashad
khalifa, zohurul hoque also abrogated the holy qur'an on the strength of some
weak and disputed hadith. it must be remembered that such spurious ahadith
come down to us some 250 years after the prophetic mission and not before.
so, if only one weak
and disputed hadith was powerful enough to do the job i.e., 'ABROGATE 'bismillaahir
rahmaanir rahiim' -- then
why not replace the whole qur'anic revelation on the strength of such SPURIOUS
ahadith, etc.?
that said, note the
big difference:-
see details
below.

-
as well,
SEPARATED i. & ii, from the rest of the surahs--chapters of
the holy qur'an in a very untruthful manner. see details below.
each and every opening statement viz., 'With
the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Rewarding,' had
been printed in italics -
small type.
similar
proof maybe seen on his web site as well.
please
note that the 'other so-called' muslim translators, too have printed IT in
'small type.' but none have had the audacity to remove it from
surah al-fatihah and thereby abrogate as well, BREAK THE QUR'AN into
parts [HQ: 15:86-95 - see above], as had zohurul hoque.
and
this makes all the difference in the world of ISLAM. we are talking about
apples and oranges here.

==============
the
most important & irrefutable proof
TRANSLATION:
The translation
is very accurate and correct word to word with the Arabic text of the Holy
Qur-an.
This translation is literal, not literary.
No Arabic word omitted from translation due to negligence,
arbitrary reason or for the sake of English writing.
No new words introduced inside the translation to elaborate a
point, to justify a given opinion or for the sake of English writing.
The translation does not
show allegiance to any group or any particular school of
thought.
Very
accurate translation - very
loyal to actual Arabic verses. No 'extra' word introduced suggesting these
are equivalent of 'revealed' text. No Arabic word omitted from
translation.
frankly, how true and reliable
is the above claim? well let proof speak for itself.
1. says
allah:
2:59. But those who did wrong changed the word which had been told them for another saying,
.... 2:75. Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly?
