Thus, the �fa� of 86.5 links the ayahs before and after it, in a sequence�

"l+jussive third person masculine singular form of "nath.ara" (to look, behold, see, consider) indicating hortatory form

al 'insanu: (collective noun: mankind) nominative form indicating subject of the verb "yunthir"

falyunth.iri il-insanu therefore means "then let mankind consider""

�lyanthuri� definition:

"khuliqa: passive perfect 3rd person masculine singular form of khaliqa (to create), clearly agreeing with al-insanu

mimma khuliqa therefore means "from what he was created.""

�khuliqa� definition:

Masculine singular.  Was created.  The moral character; or fashion of the inner man; i.e. his mind, or soul, and its peculiar qualities and attributes; the fashion of the outer man, and its peculiar qualities and attributes; it signifies also custom or habit (as being a second nature).   It comes from the root �khalaqa�, which means the act of measuring; or determining the measure, proportion, or the like, of a thing; and the making a thing by measure, or according to the measure of another thing; or proportioning a thing to another thing.   It signifies the bringing of a thing into existence according to a certain measure, or proportion, and so as to make it equal to another thing, or uniform therewith; or the originating or producing a thing after a pattern or model which one has devised, not after the similitude of anything pre-existing.  As an act of God, it signifies the originating or bringing into being or existence anything not after the similitude of anything pre-existing; and the creating a thing; and thus it is generally best rendered; as meaning the bringing into existence from a state of no-existence.  As an act of God, signifies the creating out of nothing.   To measure, proportion, determine, fashion, create, form a thing, be fir, apt to a thing, behave kindly.

As you can verify for yourself, �khuliqa� means more than just �was created�.

In addition, �fa� informs us that 86.4 & 86.6 must be included per the classic definition...

"Then let mankind consider from what he was created."

86.5   So, in order to inform mankind from that which originated the inner man.

Crystal clear.

Indeed�

Greetings Yusuf,

Thanks for your reply�

your interpretation of l-yunthiri is wrong. The final "i" clearly indicates jussive, and the l (a contraction of "li") makes it hortatory. Introduction to Koranic Arabic, p. 112 (full reference is in the other thread where I refute some other nonsense of yours).

the subjunctive form (yunthira) is necessary for li to mean "in order to." Introduction of Koranic Arabic, p. 316.

Perhaps you need to reference a classic Lexicon instead of your grammar books�

The remainder of your "interpretation" is likewise flawed, but I have already wasted too many valuable seconds on this simplistic subject and have demonstrated to any rational mind the lack of foundation upon which you have created this rather fanciful interpretation, and so I bid you adieu.

My sura 86 exegesis is rock-solid and reveals the truth regarding Jesus:

• Jesus is worshiped as God
• Jesus was Crucified
• Jesus was Resurrected
• Jesus Judges

Come back sometime when you have had time to comprehend what the classic Arabic is telling you�

Thanks�

All,

Who is up to the task of sura 86 discussion....?

An interesting article right here. Any astrophysicists to tell us more about pulsars?

And in any case, if the Quran explicitly says that God is not Jesus and that Jesus was not crucified, are you saying that we must accept the subliminal implicit message that God is in fact Jesus and he really was crucified?
