Studying Islam...
Salamu alaikum wa rahmatullah.
I really need a good explanation because I don't understand this AT ALL. I am an english speaker and I understand my language is not as rich as arabic...
Why is it in arabic that words have so many meanings? Or did the meanings of the words derrive over time?
LIke the word "Kal" means.
Appear as.
Is Like.
Looks like.
IT is.
How is that so? And the reason why I ask this is becasue I notice when dealing with non muslims. When they stomp us or find a scientific error in the Quran.
We are always quick to say.. "No it doesn't mean that, there are other meanings"
So basically we get to pick what the words mean, and this book can NEVER be wrong. It can't because if they even catch us on a wrong spot, the word can have another meaning or something...
Another question regarding the meaning of words.. What did they say during the time of the prophet (saws)
Did the rasool (a.s.w.s) Know that The heavens and the earth were a joint entity before He clove them asunder? Or did it mean something else to them..
And "He created the night and the day, the sun and the moon, each swimming in it's own orbit"
I don't think "it's own orbit" has ever came, the word actually means swimming. But I see that we have tooken, "In it's own orbit" ..
This is something i need cleared up by someone with enough knowledge or an arabic speaker.
Jazakallahu khair.
