: Perception and meanings; it is NOT Spider's Web.
Grand Qur'aan had informed mankind, 1400 years back, as follows:
Grand Qur'aan informed that Allah the Exalted will keep bringing to human visual access, the knowledge about universe and human body, whereby the fact that Grand Qur'aan is a Statement of Proven Fact/absolute reality might become self manifest to the people who keep denying it. Why a first time observation of hitherto unseen thing manifests that the Qur'aan is a statement of proven fact? This is possible only if the same thing finds verbal mirroring of it in the Qur’aan. Verbal specification and visual observation are two aspects of identification of a tangible fact of real existence, as denoted by Arabic word: . The visual observation of an earlier unseen fact will manifest a book written earlier in time as the Book of Facts which contains its verbal presentation. This will establish that the Book really contains verbal statements of physical/scientific facts and is not conjectural, hypothetical and presumptive in its contents.
The people who call, worship, submit in
and demonstrate
allegiance to hand made sculpted
statues and others; considering them various iela'aha: deities, never have a plausible argument to advance
except claiming that they are following the footsteps of their
forefathers. This is nothing but emotionalism far from logic and reason
and is rather shackle in which they confined/imprisoned their intellect
resulting in inertial state placing them at par with matter/the dead. Their conduct of holding myths to their chests with
reverence and love deliberately not subjecting those to rational
analysis is equated with the conduct of a peculiar she-spider:
The equivalence of those people who
have consciously and purposely adopted perceiving for themselves as protectors, benefactors, godfathers Like the specific She-Spider when she has purposely adopted a house. Know the fact, the flimsiest of the houses is certainly the adopted house of specific She-Spider. Had they but known-realized flimsiness of their choice. [29:41] After translating the words: to mean that spider builds/makes a house it is explained in the exegeses, written in Urdu and English, that the spider's web is the weakest of the houses. But the fact is that there is not a single word which could make us infer that the Qur'aan has referred to "Spider's web". Grand Qur'aan has not even said that spider makes or builds a house. It has said: "she consciously acquired/seized/ took/adopted a house". Verb: Perfect; third person; singular; feminine; [Form-VIII] Subject pronoun hidden; مصدر-اِتِّخَاذٌ verbal noun. Its Root is "أ خ ذ" which signifies to take, receive, get, seize, capture, acquire, and adopt. This has been used in relation to Verb: Perfect; third person; plural; masculine; [Form-VIII]; و Subject pronoun, in nominative state; مصدر-اِتِّخَاذٌ verbal noun, from the same Root which has correctly been translated in the conventional translations as "take, choose, accept". Web of the Spider is not a house, it is a trap. A trap is built, constructed, structured, made. One could infer "Spider's web" if the words used were "بيَّت البيت""constructed a house". Male and female spider do not live together as a family therefore there can't be a question of family mansion. Male and Female construct/build traps individually and separately. Male and female belonging to even the same specie do not come closer when overpowered by the desire of mating. They first introduce and recognize each other before coming closer for love and sex. It might be misleading for many to read in the exegeses, ascribing it to the Grand Qur'aan, that "Spider's Web is the weakest of the houses", while the Grand Qur'aan does not say like this. Now the majority of the people know that Spider's Web is not week and its thread is one of the finest things. Learned Harun Yahya has compiled the information with beautiful pictures about spiders in his Book "The Miracle in the Spider" but the mention of that Ayah of Qur'aan slipped attention where it finds mention. About Spider's Web this information is in the book: [Quote]
Whichever encyclopedia we may open, we will find that Spider's web is a strong and fine thing with top of the line thread. In the presence of this information/data, if we accept the statement of earlier/modern writers we will attribute to Grand Qur'aan something, which is contrary to the fact. However, this is certainly not the statement of Qur'aan. Qur'aan's statement is that which its own words describe and not that what some people perceived because of their own understanding formed on incomplete or poor information. The basic purpose of a book is to preserve knowledge for the posterity of humanity. Moreover, if the knowledge/ data/ fact/information preserved in a book is for the entire humanity then it becomes all the more important that this book should be easy for comprehension since the level of intellect of human beings varies. One method to make things easier for perception is to explain a thing with an example. An example {مَثَلُ} is something that is representative by virtue of having typical features of the thing it represents. It is an illustration that supports or provides more information on an opinion, theory, or principle. An example is one that is visible/perceivable by senses. In the Ayah Metaphor has not been used which is vividly different and distinct from the word example {مَثَلُ}. Metaphorical explanation is not easy to comprehend for men of lowly intellect but example {مَثَلُ} is conveniently understood by men of even ordinary prudence. The Qur'aan has been made easy:
Allah the Exalted has made it clear that for easy understanding and comprehension by the people the Qur'aan has been adorned with examples. In explaining a thing with an example the importance is not that of thing quoted being small or large or male or female. The importance is that the example given must represent the thing equal on fours/exactly identical. What is the advantage of giving examples?
: يَتَذَكَّرُونَ Its Root is "ذ ك ر". The basic concept infolded is "to remember, preserve in the memory, recollect it or call it to heart". Even in ordinary manner we can preserve things/data/information in the memory only after comparing it with some other thing. Things are stored into the memory only by comparison. Allah has informed:
Had things not been created in Pairs, were it possible to acquire knowledge? Knowledge is something that is capable of preservation in memory. Man would have been meaningless word had there been no woman; earth was meaningless without sky and so on. It is the Pair that makes us knowledgeable and intelligent. Let us express our thanks to Allah-the Exalted. Beauty is in the pair. And when a thing/point is explained by an example it becomes not only easy for comprehension/perception but is also stored with a correct perspective/comparison in the memory and it is preserved distinctly for longer period of time. Allah the Exalted has given the example of those people who have adopted/considered/perceived as: أَوْلِيَآءَ protectors, benefactors other than Allah with the habit/act of a peculiar female spider who has adopted a house and then informed about that house being the weakest one; and exclaimed that had they some information/knowledge about it. Let us find the house adopted:
A man who acquires, adopts and considers other deities and people as: أَوْلِيَآءَ is actually in pursuit of finding some support with the intention of getting some strength/position and protection of interests. He escapes the reality to find refuge in conjecture, fascination, imagination and adopts them who soothes him with idea of their being a visible protector. After having known the house adopted by a female spider let us again read the Ayah to appreciate and reflect on the precision of the example explaining the psyche of certain people.
Like the specific She-Spider when she has purposely adopted a house. Know the fact, the flimsiest of the houses is certainly the adopted house of specific She-Spider. Had they but known-realized flimsiness of their choice. [29:41] The female spider despite knowing that the piece of paper does not contain her eggs, she takes it to her "chest". And there has never been dearth of people who keep such papers/traditions/sayings void of any substance/knowledge and proof closely to their chests and are seldom prepared to have a look on that "paper" to evaluate/weigh it if there existed anything of substance wrapped in it.
We have seen that certain people were asked to listen to the words of the Book and conduct accordingly but their immediate and plain response is that they were comfortable with what they had found their earlier generations/fathers saying/believing and doing. They don't seem interested in the words of book what to say of rebutting it with some argument. There attention is drawn towards two things without condemning their forefathers that would they keep following them with regard to something upon which their forefathers had not: لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْئاً reflected/pondered and/or they did not have: لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئاً information/knowledge about something. Knowledge is only of ءَايَةً , corporeal, real thing having dimensions; and the words of Allah the Exalted sent in Qur'aan are also called ءَايَةً since it is said by Him Who knows visible and invisible of everything. Therefore when something is said by All Knower, that is as visible as anything else to the perception of human beings. Anything beyond ءَايَةً is nothing but conjecture, تخيل, imagination, false, farse. Compressing/ preserving/captivating data/information about things is called "عقل" and the process by which we keep comparing/sorting things and finding the difference and relationships is called "تعقل, يعقل" i.e. to reflect/ ponder/process the acquired data/information/knowledge to arrive at conclusions/guidance. After giving the example of habit of female spider it has been told:
It is a matter of common sense that a man can reflect/ponder/process/analyze only after he has acquired data/information about something. Allah the Exalted has quite unambiguously informed that knowledge about the universe and human body will progressively reveal to humanity since acquiring of knowledge needs constant and persistent pursuit of things to find mutual relationships. Therefore to keep stuck and following the traditions/saying of the past generations is a behavior/attitude of the sheep and cattle. About the attitude of aforesaid people it is categorically announced:
The shackles coming from our earlier generations in the shape of traditions and sayings can be removed to revive ourselves to true wisdom and knowledge, if we decide to keep ourselves bound with the words of the Qur'aan since it is the statement of proven facts, and other things are not void of doubt, conjecture, hearsay and speculative thinking of many of our earlier forefathers. [Replica/Mirror 69:43; Similar pronouncement in 41:02] The gradual revelation [of Grand Qur'aan] is from the Sustainer Lord of the known/existing Worlds. [56:80]
Despite that is this the Statement [Hadith-Qur'aan] regarding which you people are the ones who, taking it non seriously and trivially, conjecture fascinating and alluring statements, [56:81] [Similar confirmation in 69:51] Certainly this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [56:95] [Similar confirmation in 56:95] And certainly this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [69:51]
Certainly, this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one, which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [56:95]
Moreover, certainly this Qur'aan is undoubtedly the one, which is absolutely convincing statement of proven truth/absolute fact. [69:51]
