    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 6 August 2016 doi:10.20944/preprints201608.0057.v1 Article The Analysis of a Translation of Musyakalah Verses in the Holy Quran Published by the Indonesian Department of Religious Affairs Yayan Nurbayan Department of Arabic Language, Faculty of Language and Linguistic, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Jalan. Dr. Setiabudhi No.229, Bandung, Indonesia; [email protected] Abstract: Musyakalah is one of the Arabic linguistic styles included under the category of majaz. This style is commonly used in Al-Quran. The Indonesian translation of Al-Quran is a case where many of the figures of speech are translated literally, thereby causing serious semantic problems. Thus, the research problem of this is formulated with the following questions: 1) How many musyakalah ayahs are there in Al-Quran?; 2) How are the musyakalah ayahs translated, literally (harfiyya) or interpretatively (tafsiriyya)?; 3) How many ayahs are translated literally and how many are translated interpretatively?; and 4) Which translated musyakalah ayahs have the potential to raise semantic and theological problems? The corpus in this research consists of all musyakalah ayahs in Al-Quran and their translation to Indonesian published by the Department of Religious Affairs of Indonesia. The research adopted a descriptive-semantic method. The findings of this research are: 1) There are only eleven ayahs in Al-Quran using musyakalah style, namely: Alhasyr ayah 19, Ali Imran ayah 54, Annaml ayah 50, Alanfal ayah 30, Asysyura ayah 40, Albaqarah ayah 15, Almaidah 116, Aljatsiah ayah 34, Attaubah ayah 79, Annisa ayah 142, and Albaqarah 194; 2) The musyakalah ayahs translated literally are: Aljatsiah 34, Almaidah 116, Asysura 40, Annaml 50, and Alhasyr 19, whereas the musyakalah ayahs translated interpretatively are Albaqarah 194, Annisa 142, Attaubah 79, Albaqarah 15, Alanfal 30, and Ali Imran 54; 3) Of the eleven musyakalah ayahs, only Alhasyr ayah 19 that is translated correctly and does not have the potential of creating misinterpretation.

The Meaning And Characteristics Of Islam In The Qur'an Baharuddin Husin1, Supriyatin, SY2, Zaimudin3, Imron Zabidi4 Abstract--- Islam contain the meaning of submissiveness and total surrender to Allah SWT and to all His rules that have been revealed to His chosen Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH). Islam is a religion of nature, because Islam is something that is inherent in human beings and has been brought from birth through the nature of Allah’s creation, means that humans from the beginning have a religious instinct of monotheism (tawheed). Islam in accordance with its characteristics, is like a perfect building with a strong foundation of faith and pillar joints in the form of worship to Allah SWT and beautified with noble morals. While the regulations in the Shari'ah function to strengthen the building. While true da'wah and jihad are the fences which guard against the damage done by the enemies of Islam. Islam pays attention to worldly and ukhrawi balance. Islam describes a wholeness and unity in all aspects. Paying attention to peace, optimism in achieving happiness in life, managing personal life, family, society, country and the world as a whole. Set all the creations of Allah SWT in this nature to return to His law. Islam is the eternal religion of Allah SWT that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). All previous celestial teachings are the unity of the divine teaching in various forms which are constantly updated in accordance with the development of the times, the world, humans, and the demands of preaching at that time.

And what has been called the Gospel in the time of revelation. Quran, using the singular form of the word gospel on the one Gospel revealed to Jesus (as) insist. As a result, the Bible current is full of contradictions and affairs contrary to the truth of monotheism and divine teachings, and other parts of the New Testament were written by different people is not the same as the original Gospel was revealed to Prophet Jesus (AS). So when the Qur'an speaks of the Gospel in the time of revelation, none of the books specifically Christians, neither the law nor suspicious, not going. Because this book has been called a certain name or attributed to specific individuals. Like John, Revelation of John, letters to the Romans, the Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of Barnabas and the Epistle of Barnabas. It is natural that if someone wishes to point out one of these books has named a certain book. Keywords: Quranic Gospel. Christian Gospel.

  • Part 3 Al-Baqara 253 to Al-Imran-92
    Part 3: Al-Baqarah 2:253 to Al-Imran 3:92 Freedom of religion is a pivotal element of the Muslim faith. “Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from falsehood: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah has indeed taken hold of support most unfailing that never breaks. And Allah is all-hearing, all- knowing.” Quran (2:256) The foundation of a comprehensive and just economic system is established. Charity is mandated and usury (Riba) is abolished. “The parable of those who spend their possessions in the way of Allah is that of a grain: it grows seven ears, and each ear has hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whomever He wills: And Allah all-embracing, all- knowing. Those who spend their possessions in the cause of Allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury,- their reward is with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Kind words and the covering of others faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants and He is Most-Forbearing.” Quran (2:261-263) “Those who gorge themselves on usury behave but as he might behave whom Satan has confounded with his touch; for they say, "Buying and selling is but a kind of usury". But, God has made buying and selling lawful and usury unlawful. Hence, whoever becomes aware of his Sustainer's admonition, and thereupon desists [from usury], may keep his past gains, and it will be for God to judge him; but as for those who return to it -they are destined for the fire, therein to abide!” Quran (2:275) The last two verses in Surah Al-Baqarah reflect a universal declaration of faith and sincere supplications to Allah.

The book contains an introduction by Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al-Qa'ida's second in command, who emphasizes the importance of the topic of the book and praises Al-Libi's "valuable, serious, scientific, and practical research on the Islamic judgment on spying." In the book, Al- Libi discusses in extensive detail all religious rulings concerning Muslim spies, emphasizing that they are "apostates" and therefore should be killed as they disclose "the shortcomings of Muslims." He also warns of their danger, saying: "One single piece of information transmitted to them, by one of their spies, is able to exasperate spirits, honor, and possessions in a way that thousands of their mobilized soldiers cannot do."

  • A Qur'anic Miracle in 3 Letters
    Secrets of Quran Miracle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.kaheel7.com/eng A QUR’ANIC MIRACLE IN 3 LETTERS New Research About "The Numeric Miracle In The Holy Quran" 1 Secrets of Quran Miracle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.kaheel7.com/eng Among the real mysteries of the Holy Qur’an are those seemingly random letters found at the forefront of about one quarter of the chapters of the Qur’an. That being said, has the age arrived where we finally discover at least some of the secrets behind these ‘special’ letters? Can the language of numbers reveal some of their marvels? Although scholars have never been able to fully explain the meaning behind these letters, most have appropriately given their opinion on the matter by saying, “God knows best!”. Indeed, they did not discourage reflecting upon these letters and researching them. And as such, we have undertaken a detailed study into the arrangement and repetition of these mystifying letters, only to discover that underlying them is a most profound miracle of numbers. In this part is an abundance of numeric illustrations depicting the relationship of these letters with the number 7, which is the basis of the these letters’ numeric system and the foundation of the numeric miracle in general. This part is also a response to any claims that the Holy Qur’an contains meaningless letters, because the numeric system behind the special letters is clear evidence of their inimitability, in today’s age of numbers and information. The Most Mysterious Letters After witnessing, in previous parts, some of the numeric wonders of the first verse in the Qur’an and the first chapter, what about the first verse in the second chapter, which .or “Alif , (ﺍﻟـــﻡ) represents the first example of a ‘special phrase’ in the Qur’an, namely Lām.

  • Mariam in the Holy Koran
    “Mariam in the holy Koran The holy Koran mentions the Virgin Mary (Mariam) in 34 locations in 12 surah, and devotes a whole surah of 98 verses in her name. In these holy surah and verses, the Koran presents descriptive images of Mariam in the various stages of her life: before she was born, after being chosen to carry the Word of God, during giving birth to Jesus Christ, and with the start of Jesus Christ in the call to worship the One God. Verses 35-37 of surat-Al-Imran show the familial status of Mariam before she was born. These verses say that when the Imran woman knew she is pregnant, she consecrated the child she is carrying to God. And she prayed God to accept her vow. But when she gave birth to her new born and knew that the child is a girl, she was saddened and disappointed. Since she had wished the child to be a boy, so that he would be able to work in serving the call to God. ”The mother of Mariam” showed these sad feelings while calling upon God and said, as came in the holy Koran : "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!". But the Koranic verse says immediately after that “and Allah knew best what she brought forth”. In this verse exists the first sign that it is in the knowledge of God that the child “Mariam” is not just a female, and is not just an ordinary child. Then the verse mentions that the ´Imran woman chose the name Mariam for her child and she consecrated her to God.

    AN ANALYSIS OF SOCIETIES, SPEAKERS AND TYPES OF LANGUAGES IN THE QURÁN Sanat Md. Nasir International Islamic University Malaysia [email protected] Abstract The paper is aimed at providing an analysis of societies, speakers and types of languages found in the Qurán.
