Peace .
None Arabic monotheists could be confused
by wrong interpretation of
Quran. To know Arabic is not the solution too and
shadows of past belief could lead truth seekers to wrong path.
All translators except Rashad's are
diverting
meaning of words and phrases in Quran to match their own
fabricated Hadiths.
I accept Rashad's translation for its
easy language and avoiding relating verse to
Hadiths. This translation as has been explained many times
by submitters is not definitely 100% correct.
Translation of QURAN by Rashad was a path to be inspired for
revealing secret code of 14 letters. He has never claimed
that his translation if the most prefect one and we
should not expect too. He was a human like us and
infallible like other messengers and prophets.
Recently I asked others to help me and
guide me for meaning
of verses in Quran :<br>As we read in Quran we
should expect more messenger and warrens to show before
end of world.

Since my conversion I have
searched for a correct
translation of QURAN. That was a year ago that my dear
friend brought me a copy of recent Farsi Rhymed
translation .You do not have to know Arabic to see the
style of Rhyme used in Quran. Just look at any page of
Quran and check the shape of letter at the end of
verses. Sometimes goes for pages ending with same letter
and sometimes short as 2 or 3 verses.
This style of Quran literature has been
used by Arabs for proof
of Quran which can be seen only by Arab's well
educated people.
To understand the level of difficulty to
convert Rhymed QURAN to another very old
language as Farsi has been aim of many of famous Iranian
poets and none of them have has succeed.
This farsi version is an amazing work by a
24 years old eng. .Omid
is his first name. this is a Persian word and means
Expectation. hope,...Majd as his last name is Arabic and
means Great. In Farsi adjective stays ahead of
subjective like Flower Nice instead of Nice Flower.
So his name is Omid Majd " Great
Expectation " as he used
same definition in his preface. Now let us see what
Omid Majd has to say for us:
...I opened my eye to this world in 1970
I am the youngest child in my family.I have
been raised in a family where learning and educating
themselves has been considered the most important task
in their daily lives. My grandfather from my
father's side, Dr. Majd was studying Islamic religion in
centers in Mashhad and Najaf. He had reached close to a
point to be a recognized as a mojtahid (A high rank
clergy which can change the rules), but he was very
interested in learning science which was not so accessible
during his time. He started to learn French in secret
because in those days people learning western
languages were accused of Idol worshipping. When he learned
French he then registered in "DAROLFONOON" UNIVERSITY
for MD. when he finished he was practicing as a MD.
He died in Tabas at the age of 97 in 1356..
My mother is an employee of Education
Department.
I have 3 sisters and one brother. All
family have had
their influences on my growing up.
But 3 of them have had major role in this
process.
First is my mother that thought me how to
be friend, kind and
sacrifice for better. second is my father which his poetry
talent was left in me too. this was the main initiative
for my mysticism an poetry ...and third my sister
which educated me religiously and fulfilled my thirst
to know religion. .... I had my poetic talent
since I was a child but I started to collect poem since
1985 and studying famous poet works. Among them
SAADI,s style could effect my poems. ...During my
university time my poetic talent was flowering toward belief
and mysticism but I never could reach to that point
to be inspired by ( Khizr ) ( teacher of Moses
18:64) until that night in spring of 1994. That
unforgettable night. the night of destination which I was
inspired by Khizr; in that quite night my room aids were
sleeping and I was studying QURAN under the moon light. I
got into special feeling which was distracting and
worrying me, I was told why you do not refuge to
QURAN? Read it and translate into Rhymes and then ...one of
those April night(s)...
Following summer I hurt my back and got
back disk which I look at it
according to this verse:
"You call those things bad ,but it could
lead to goods."
Although this disk problem kept me inside
home but gave me chance to do my
translation.
In Nov. 23rd same year when I was not able
to pick up my brief case I was called to Army and I went trough a very
difficult time. I was taking advantage of
any time break to complete my translation into poem.
Army released me 10 days earlier because I was
suffering a lot of my back disk. I came back to home
(Neishabour) and relax with Quran in my hand. I translated
more than 10 verses into poems during 20 days.
By the time that new year (21 march) was on
the way and
having enough rests I was feeling healthy and happy.
I was translating with lot of attitude and
happiness.
Finally at First month of 1375 (1995) after 300 days I
finished my translation by 18000 Bait.
Took another year my translation to be
approved and I avoid to explain
what stages I had to go trough during that year.
....24 Aug. 1377 ( 1997 )
I have read this translation as far as I could. I
have compared that to English one and most close one
is Rashad's. Future will show the facts. So far I
have not seen Shia's Hadiths influence into
translation. Some of his translation is much different from
all other translators. There are amazing one and as
we go further you will see them.I appreciate his
style of setting up Quran. He did not put his name or
anything else prior to the name of GOD which many have
done.
Book starts with name of GOD. All preface,
recommendation, official permit is printed at last pages.
This is my first experience to translate
Farsi Rhymes
into English. I have had some help by a sister which
may her situation is changed and could not assist me for
further correction.
Any recommendation without changing
the meaning welcome:
In
the name of the ONE
who created all from nothing
The ONE whom granted to
human taught and writing.
The GOD of
Forgiveness, the GOD of Creation
The GOD which deserves
our prostration.
One of those April
nights could not sleep overnight
The Book Of GOD in my
hand
The meaning of the BOOK
unable to understand
The meaning of the BOOK
was so odd
That the bottom of my
Heart could not be satisfied.
I could tell myself the
meanings in my mind.
But it could not
satisfy other seeker's mind.
If I could scribe those
words in rhyme.
For Souls will absorbs
faster by rhyme.
Suddenly revealed a
message in my heart.
Be clever go for it
with full heart.
You have such attitude
in writing so easily poems.
This BOOK deserves to
be rhymed in poems
That was the night
which gates of wisdom opened by the ONE
Started with praising
and glorification of the ONE.
I was so in love with
rhymed Quran
Then I rhymed whole the
book every single one
Praises be to GOD whom
helped me in full
Translate Quran verses
by influent rhymes
Took me 300 days to
finish the BOOK
Yet I can't believe how
I could rhyme the BOOK
With Great Expectation
and expect good deeds.
I completed BOOK as far
as it needs.
It has been all the
time my wish in the mind
To compete with Toughs
and Saadi's poem kind.
I have to compete with
those poet's rules and law alone.
My poem couldn't be
perfected by verbs and noun alone
That should be so
prefect to be accepted by knowledgeable one
I hope my work could
satisfy those knowledgeable one.
They know the
difficulty with law and rules.
They are aware of
limitations, law and rules.
It is so hard to rhyme
Quran verses
When the facts should
be extract of all verses
You are not allowed to
miss a word.
You are not allowed to
add a word.
Everything should be
scribed so clear and simple.
That the reader could
remember it by the heart and ample.
That poet in TOOS
master of the rhymes.
(Toos ia city that
Great Iranian Poet Ferdowsi was born)
He told his
wisdom word in the full rhymes
"The only thing will be
left from you is your words.
Keep them up and clean
be careful about those words."
I created a master
piece with such rhymes
Which will reminds the
world of me for times
At Spring of my life at
twenty five
Leaving a treasure
behind for those alive.
I rhymed by DORI those
beautiful poems
Attracting those which
are in love with the poems
How beautiful that
lovely (poet) SAADI rhymed
"Universe is a poem and
sun is rhymed
"O" Omid you didn't do
this for any wealth
O" GOD forgive me and
bless me
"...Following this is indicating name of Prophet
Mohammed and 12 imams by 16 Bait . I do not see any
Infallible title for them.
Please make this correction in last post :
One of those May night's
As I said since I received Omid's
translation all my search and work has been done
by double checking of Rashad's English translation and Omid's Farsi.
I am believing that this young man
is telling the truth. He confesses that he could not
understand Quran as he wished :
"During my university time my poetic talent
was flowering toward belief and
mysticism but I never could reach to that point to be
inspired by ( Khizr ) ( teacher of Moses 18:64) until that
night in spring of 1994.
That unforgettable night. the night of
destination which I was inspired by Khizr; in
that quite night my room aids were sleeping and I was studying QURAN under
the moon light. I got into special
feeling which was distracting and worrying me, I was told why you do not
refuge to QURAN? Read it and translate into Rhymes and then ...one of
those May
night(s)..."
When I read that I searched to find where
and how the
name of Moses teacher is chosen Khizr. First I referred to Omid's
translation:
18:60
Say Mohammed to believers what Moses that
righteous said to
Joshua "I never surrender; if I do it will be strange, I
will try to reach to the junction two rivers in
the place where two seas exist. I should reach to
destination or all my life I have to search."
61
When Moses and his friend reached to the
junction of two
rivers they forgot their food which was fish granted by
GOD. The fish fell in to water and run away with rush.
62
When they prepared to get ready and leave
that
place Moses said to young man "we have been through
many pains and troubles, bring my food"
63
Joshua said " Surprised that you are asking
for fish, when we
were sitting over that rock I forgot that fish
(pisces), at this moment Satan influenced me and we lost
our fish, amazing how fast that fish jumped in to
water and disappeared as soon as it saw water.
64
He said (Moses) that is destination which we are
leaving for, they returned back to same way they had gone.
65-
They saw there obviously one of God's
special
blessed servant which was granted with special blessing
that righteous,We blessed him with sound and
prefect God's knowledge.
66
When Moses saw him said "
You Khizr the righteous if I obey you do you teach me
you knowledge"
67
Prophet Khizr replied " You do
not have patience, you are rushing yourself "
68
How you can have patience for what you do not know.
69
Again Moses said " God Will I will have
patience for
your teaching and I will not disobey your instruction.70
That knowledgeable man said to him " If you
follow me and obey me then do not ask any question
during my action, when the time comes I will explain
it for you"
...That was 6 months ago when I
read name of Khizr.For further search about Khizr
I created a topic and asked for help if anybody
knows how this name is chosen for Moses teacher. I
did not have any response but brother web19faith as
usual was prompt with his search and sent me the
following email.:
In search for truth. Khizr?

.Dear Brother Bahman,
I am going to tell you what I know about Al-Khidr but these
are only tales, which I don’t believe in. As you know
I believe what is in the Quran only.“Al Khadir” or “Al Khidr” means “Green
One” in Arabic
language. He was named that way because wherever he goes the land becomes
green and the plants start growing. (“Khidr” is the Arabic name. In Iran
he is called “Khezr”,and in Turkey, “Hizir.”)
Some Sunni say that his real name is "Bilya ibne Malkan" or "Ayliya ibne
Malkan". Other people think his real name is "Khidhroun",or "Ilyas" (Elie),
or "Al Yasa'''. Anyway, nobody knows for sure.The Hebrew name of “Al-Khidr
is “Aziluth”. The Christian name is Metatron”
The majority of the Sunni think he is a prophet of God and that he is
still alive. He is also called the “Eternal Prophet”. According to them he
will never die till the Day of Judgment.
The Sunni believe that Al-Khidr can be present in numerous places at the
same time and not permanently restricted by the requirements of humanity
like us. He can eat and drink like us when he wants to, but is not
compelled to like us. They also believe that there is a degree of
sainthood, which is called ‘the degree of Al-Khidr.’ A saint who reaches
this degree receives instruction from Al-Khidr and meets with him.The
Sunni claim that Imam Nawawi used to meet with al-Khidr and converse with
him.(al-Sakhawi, Tarjimat shaykh al-islam qutb al-awliya Abi Zakariyya al-Nawawi,
p. 33.)The Sufi believe that Al-Khidr appears in various ages and places
to help sincere Sufi believers.The picture of
Al-Khidr/Metatron is in this webpage:
http://www.worldlightcenter.com/home/9artadm.htm
to some Christians Al-Khidr/Metatron is an angelic being incarnated on
Earth to help humanity. God appointed Al-Khidr/Metatron to be His voice.
Also they believe that he told Jesus that he was the son of God.According
to some Jews God created an angel called Metatron (Al-Khidr), which is the
head of all the angels. After Israel sinned with the golden calf, God
told Moses that he is
sending Metatron to accompany the Children of Israel, instead of being
directly with them Himself. They also say that Metatron, whose name is
like his Master’s in that the numerical value of Metatron, 314, is the
same as the Name of God, Sha-dai.The Jews believe in Metatron as the
highest of the angels despite he is not mentioned in the Scriptures. The
meaning of his name has never been satisfactorily explained
although one interpretation of it is "one who occupies the throne next to
the Divine throne."Metatron is said to have been the prophet Enoch, who
was taken up to Heaven and transformed into an angel of fire, with
thirty-six pairs of wings, to continue his
days as a celestial scribe. Metatron has also been identified as the
Liberating Angel and the one who wrestled with Jacob; the one who stayed
Abraham's hand from sacrificing his son Isaac; and the one who led the
Hebrews through the forty years in the wilderness. In certain schools of
mysticism, Metatron, said to be the tallest of all the heavenly beings (13
to 18 feet),
became known as Lesser YHWH. In Hebrew, the letters 'YHWH' stand for the
most sacred and unpronounceable name of God.As God has many names, so,
too, Metatron was thought to have many names, Yahoel, Yofiel, Surya, and
Lad are just a few of his other names. . One mystic said Metatron carries
Jewish prayers up through 900 heavens to God.End of the
tales.Peace. |
