@ClintMicheau@Pontifex If u read the whole thing, that first verse is talking about the conflict that arises in families over following Christ and those who don’t.
@Brokenoaths_ @RomeInTheEast Mesopotamia, the Levant, and North Africa aren’t part of the traditional Arab lands, so it was colonization. And Romans and Persians did not control much of Arabia, so there was no decolonization.
@Sibawayhi@BiruniKhorasan There are a few others, especially recently there have been many unique scripts consciously created for African and Native American languages
@ccgg31@JeffreyKotyk Not distorted at all, and it was the first Christian church in China, and lasted centuries there. In recent times there were groups of Chinese wanting to return to this Church
@HaiderAlAnzi1@BrotherRasheed Also, mohammed believed the Gospel and Torah were true and that Christians possessed them without any alteration. And the Gospel and Torah today are the same as they were in his time, so you can’t claim they were altered since then.
@HaiderAlAnzi1@BrotherRasheed No. There are different versions of the Quran in use even today. The most popular version is the King Fuad Quran written down in the 1920s. Youll still find different versions being used in other countries though. My question is still open, which qira’a and ahruf is the original?
@HaiderAlAnzi1@BrotherRasheed No. Firstly the Torah isn’t the Old Testament, it’s the first 5 books of it. And we didn’t get the New Testament to correct the Old Testament. We still use both and they’re both divine and unaltered.
@DavidtheSyriac "Even the mighty tremble from the great fame of Assyria:
We that conquered the greats, a Hebrew [Jonah] conquer us:
… Assyria roared on the earth, and Jonah will roar at it:
Such feebleness has humbled the offspring of Nimrod the Great"
@mdayaad@hadithworks Its mentioned in pre-Islamic writing that Arabs considered eating pigs a sin, and it’s because all races throughout the world avoid eating meat that isn’t commonly found where they live.
@ai_muslims@chonkshonk1@Rurouni_Phoenix Lol only Muslims deny this for obvious reasons. There’s plenty “Arabic” words only found in the quran, like فرقان، لات، طود, حواريون which are borrowed from other languages. And there’s no mistakes in the Bible, they messed up the quran tho when they copied concepts from it
@ai_muslims@chonkshonk1@Rurouni_Phoenix It’s well known that many Quran verses are straight copied from the writings of Syriac authors that were popularly and widely read at that time, and some verses attempt to “refute” them matching line to line
@Victor475246832 It’s an ancient retention of perfect tense, eg. how Syriac would have ܩܛܲܠ.. and it has lots of functions, mainly indicating the past, or desire
eg. ܟܹܐ ܚܵܙܹܐ he sees
ܟܹܐ ܚܵܙܹܐ ܗ݇ܘܵܐ he used to see
