 | what is the meining of baqara or al baqara |
 | Comments by: aurangzaib On Tuesday, February 16, 2010 |  | |
| Dear Brother LAIQ Ahmed,
Apparently, yours is a very simple question. One of our participants must have answered it promptly. But I see no one has. 'Baqara' is simply the 'COW'. Al-Baqara would mean some particular COW that has been talked about in the relevant Chapter.
Research has proved that names/titles of Quranic Chapters (Suras) were not descended alongwith the Chapters. These names that we notice, were given to the Chapters much later, probably for ease of reference or to distinguish one from the other.
God bless you. | |

| Dear Laiq Bhai,
Baqra (بقرۃ)is derived from the root letters (ب ق ر). The basic meaning is to tear, to divide, to open, to become blind.
A noun is derived from these basic meanings for cow. In general a holy thing is called "COW" You must have seen people saying that you have made your ideas a holy cow for you.
In sura 2 /67-71, cow is anything outside Gods Commands. When Moses asked to leave the cow, the people said "are you joking ?" the answer is amazing, Moses did not Yes or No. He said “if I am joking then I am an Illiterate person.”
The answer clearly shows the depth of demand. Leaving the cow is literacy and if saying jokingly is illiteracy. They further wanted the details of this cow,
Now if it was a cow (an animal) there is no sense in asking the details of an animal. It is just like us asking to leave everything outside Quran.
So many of us will say what are the things we should leave as so many things tally with Quran. It is like asking to leave Namaz and people will certainly say are you serious and what is bad in it if we continue and so on so forth. when they asked for further details Moses said “It does not make anything compulsory (farz) or its a dawn, a new morning (Bikr).
Only a thing made compulsory by God is Farz. Anything outside Wahi is not Farz (compulsory) but Nafil (optional) or Sunnat (copy of someone), so this cow i.e teachings outside Wahi can not make any order binding and compulsory nor it is a new dawn which brings light in the life.
The people of Moses were not willing to leave their faiths and rituals so they asked for more details. So Moses said “Its Yelow but bright and appealing to the masses”.
Yellow color is known to mask the real color .Yellow journalism, yellow books are known to be fake.
You apply the meaning and you will find the answer, The answer of Moses is clearly indicating towards the man made religion which is fake but very popular amongst the masses.
The people never accept whatever you say. Same was the case with the people of Moses they again and again asked so that they could avoid the Divine commands So they halfheartedly accepted that yes this cow has become doubtful to us and asked for further details and promised to accept the divine commands.
Moses answered,
“This is such an ideology which is not humble to people rather it infuriates nor it satisfies anybody. Although it is authentic in the eyes of the followers but there is nothing in it at last they accepted although they were not willing to do so.”

| My dear Doctor Sahib,
My compliments for again shaking me violently from my bones. The interpretation of word "BAQARAH" is revolutionary and transforms the whole concept of respective Ayaat fundamentally. It goes directly in favor of the deep basic message of Quran and becomes so relevant that to deny it , could be easily construed un-Quranic. The Rivayati translation suddenly looks bogus and childish and certainly not in keeping with the high level of the Quranic divine intellect.
I take it as yet another breakthrough in the discovery of genuine interpretation of Quranic terminology. And as yet another crucial milestone in the journey of time.
And with reference to the above, I and my friends here feel still in the darkness of ignorance about much of the Quranic essence and spirit. That's why we continue insisting that your TAFSEER is long overdue, must be published NOW - be it in bits and pieces, or Surah by Surah. Kindly Sir, do give this demand a sympathetic consideration.
May He bestow you with a long, healthy and rewarding life.

| Dear brothers,
Some friends are asking for Urdu translation of 2/67-71. Since Dr. Sahib seems quite busy, I dare to venture upon this project, seeking guidance from the Almighty. The source is absolutely the English explanation of Dr. Sahib on the pages of this blog. There is an omission in translation of a part of an Ayat. I have marked it with “?”, and I request Dr. Sahib to make good this omission and also make correction to this text, wherever he may find necessary.
AL-BAQARAH 2/67-71
سیاق و سباق کے مطابق بات دراصل بنی اسرائیل کے ساتہ عہد و پیمان کی ہو رہی ھے [۲/۶۳]- اور ان کے قوۃ کے استعمال سے گریز کرنے کی شکایت اور احکامات سے منہ موڑ لینے کا ذکر ہو رہا ہے - اور اللہ تعالِی کی طرف سے درگزر اور رحمتوں کے نزول کی [۲/۶۴]- اور ان میں سے بعض گروہوں کے تساہل کی اور پھران پر ملامت اور نمونہ عبرت بنا دینے کی [۲/۶۵-۶]-
[اس ضمن میں] حضرت موسی نے اپنی قوم سے گائے [یعنی ان کے دیرینہ مقدس عقیدے] کو ختم/ترک [ذبح] کر دینے کی تاکید کی جو کہ تفریق و تقسیم پیدا کرنے کا، یا عقل و بصیرت کو اندھا کر دینے کا سبب بن رہا تھا۔ اس پر انہوں نے استعجابیہ انداز میں کہا کہ کیا تم ہم سے مذاق کر رہے ہو۔ اس پر حضرت موسی نے جواب دیا کہ اگر یہ مذاق تھا تو پھر میں تو جاہلوں میں سے ہوں [۲/۶۷]- اس پر وہ بولے کہ اپنے رب کو دعوت دو کہ وہ ہمارے لیے وضاحت کرے کہ دراصل معاملہ/مسئلہ کیا ھے – [یعنی ہمیں کیوں اپنا عقیدہ چھوڑنے کو کہا جا رہا ھے]- حضرت موسی نے جواب دیا کہ تمہارا عقیدہ تفریق و تقسیم کا سبب ھے اور نہ تو یہ تم پر فرض قرار دیا گیا ھے اور نہ ہی اس میں کسی نئی صبح کی توید ھے- [عوانً بین ذلک ؟ ؟ ؟]- پس جو حکم دیا جا رہا ھے ویسا ہی کرو [۲/۶۸]- وہ پھر بولے کہ اپنے رب سے کہو کہ وہ ہماری تسلی کے لیے مزید وضاحت کرے کہ اس عقیدے کی اصل کیا ھے۔ حضرت موسی نے جواب دیا کہ یہ [پیلا رنگ] بیمار ذہنیت کی عکاسی کرتا ھے، اگرچہ ظاہراً روشن اور پرکشش ھے [۲/۶۹]- وہ پھر بھی متآمل رہے اور مزید سوالات پوچھنے لگے، یہ مانتے ہوئے کہ یہ مقدس عقیدہ اب ان پر مشتبہ تو ہو گیا ھے اور اللہ کی مشیت ہوئی تو اب ہم ہدایت پا ہی لیں گے [۲/۷۰]- حضرت موسی نے دلائل جاری رکھتے ہوئے جواب دیا کہ اللہ تعالی فرماتا ھے کہ یہ عقیدہ ایسا ھے کہ لوگوں پر نرمی و عاجزی کا باعث نہیں بلکہ انہیں بھڑکاتا ھے۔ اور نہ ہی ہر ایک کو مطمئن کرتا ھے، خواہ اسکو ماننے والوں کی نظر میں کتنا ہی مستند ہو۔ اس پر وہ بولے کہ اب آپ نے حقیقت بیانی کی ھے- پس انہوں نے اپنے اس مقدس عقیدے [گائے] کا خاتمہ کر دیا جبکہ ایسا کرنا وہ دل سے نہ چاہتے تھے [۲/۷۱]-
If there are some mistakes in the translation, I apologize in advance.
God bless all.

| Dear aurangzaib bhai,
i always have difficulty reading the urdu or arabic insertions.. they are very small and hence unclear.. i hope we can get a better font which is much better to read..
God bless, there is a great piece of work coming your way soon, so be ready .. am almost finished with the Salaat book alhamdulillah . | |
| Comments by: aurangzaib On Thursday, May 06, 2010 | | |
| Dear sis Maniza,
I agree with you about the size and style of Arabic and Urdu insertions. They are not easy to read. I noted that you can at least increase their size by scrolling on your mouse while keeping Ctrl key pressed. 'Printer Friendly View' also helps a little bit.
I thank you for announcing the good news. There are many many people awaiting the English version of Haqiqat-e-Salaat. May He reward you for your hard work with bountiful blessings and prosperity. | |
| Dr. Qamar Zaman and Auranzeb Yousfzai Sahab: Aslamoalikum, after going through the meaning of Al-Baqrah I was astonished that what a great style quran has adopted!!!!!!!!!! and what our people have made it . but one thing is that you should write a Tafseer-e-quran and Lughatul Quran so that each and every thing in Quran can be very clear to us. because there are 100s of things in the quran which require answers and only a tafseer and lexicon can fulfil this demand. thnxs | |
