[quote][quote] salmant PAKISTAN Posted - Tuesday, March 06, 2007 - 12:53 PM ........ (16:68) And behold ! .Your Lord has inspired the bee *56 with this "Build thy hive in the mountains, trees and in the creepers over trellises: [/quote] [font=Century Gothic][b][size=2][blue]Before we continue to read your quote on maudoodi, let us see the verse and its meaning as translated by by other scholars. An-Nahl (The Bee) 16:68 [/blue] [font=Book Antiqua]وَأَوْحَى رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ (16:68)[/font=Book Antiqua] Translation of the meaning of the above verse: [blue]English / Yusuf Ali[/blue] 16:68[i] And thy Lord taught the Bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men's) habitations[/i] [blue]Note: Auha: wahyun ordinarily means inspiration, the message put into the mind or heart by Allah. Here the bee’s instinct is refered to Allah’s teaching, which undoubtedly it is. In xcix. 5, it is applied to the earth….Yusuf Ali[/blue] [blue]English / Muhammad Asad[/blue] 16:68[i] And [consider how] thy Sustainer has inspired the bee: "Prepare for thyself dwellings in mountains and in trees, and in what [men] may build [for thee by way of hives];[/i] [blue]Note : The expression "He has inspired" (awha) is meant to bring out the wonderful quality of the instinct which enables the lowly insect to construct the geometrical masterpiece of a honeycomb out of perfectly-proportioned hexagonal, prismatic wax cells - a structure which is most economical, and therefore most rational, as regards space and material. Together with the subsequently mentioned transmutation, in the bee's body, of plant juices into honey, this provides a striking evidence of "God's ways" manifested in all nature.(Quran Ref: 16:68 ) http://www.islamicity.com/quranSearch English / M. Picktall[/blue] 16:68 [i]And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose thou habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch[/i][/size=2][/b][/font=Century Gothic] [quote] Maulana Maududi writes,........ Allah sends His "wahi " to the heavens with His Command and they begin functioning in accordance with it (XL: 12).[/quote] [font=Century Gothic][b][blue][size=2]There is no mention of "wahi" in this verse?[/size=2][/blue][/b][/font=Century Gothic] [green][b][font=Book Antiqua]فَالْحُكْمُ لِلَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ [/font=Book Antiqua] [/b] [/green] (40:12) [blue]English / Muhammad Asad[/blue] [font=Century Gothic][green][b]40:12 [And they will be told:] [i]“This [has befallen you] because, whenever the One God was invoked, you denied this truth; whereas, when divinity was ascribed to aught beside Him, you believed [in it]! But all judgment rests with God, the Exalted, the Great!"[/i][/b][/green][/font=Century Gothic] [blue]English / Yusuf Ali[/blue] [font=Century Gothic] [green][b]40:12 [i](The answer will be:) "This is because, when Allah was invoked as the Only (object of worship), ye did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him, ye believed! the Command is with Allah, Most High, Most Great!"[/i][/b][/green][/font=Century Gothic] [blue] English / M. Picktall[/blue] [font=Century Gothic][green][b] 40:12 ([i]It is said unto them): This is (your plight) because, when Allah only was invoked, ye disbelieved, but when some partner was ascribed to Him ye were believing. But the command belongeth only to Allah, the Sublime, the Majestic.[/i] [/b][/green][/font=Century Gothic] [quote] He will send this to the Earth with His Command and it will relate the story of aII that had happened on and in it. (XCIX: 4-S). [/quote] [blue][b]Az-Zalzalah (The Earthquake)[/b][/blue] [font=Book Antiqua][b][green][i]99:2 And the earth throws up her burdens (from within), 99:3 And man cries (distressed): 'What is the matter with her?' 99:4 On that Day will she declare her tidings 99:5 For that thy Lord will have given her inspiration.[/green][/b][/font=Book Antiqua][font=Century Gothic][b][blue][/i] Note: 1. I.e., on the Day of Judgment the earth will bear witness, as it were, to all that has ever been done by man: an explanation given by the Prophet, according to a Tradition on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (quoted by Ibn Hanbal and Tirmidhi).(Quran Ref: 99:5 ) http://www.islamicity.com/quranSearch 2. The inspiration is the command or direction conveyed by instruction breathed into the Earth personified: She is directed to tell the whole story of what she knows. Yusuf Ali.[/blue][/b][/font=Century Gothic] [quote] Then, it is also wahi with which Allah inspires a human being with a spontaneous idea (XXVIII: 7). [/quote] [blue][b]Al-Qasas (The Narration) [/b] [/blue] [green][b][font=Book Antiqua]وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى أُمِّ مُوسَى أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيهِ فِي الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِي وَلَا تَحْزَنِي إِنَّا رَادُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ[/font=Book Antiqua][/green] (28:7) [blue]English / Muhammad Asad [/blue] [font=Century Gothic] [green]28:7 [i]And so, [when he was born,] We inspired [thus] the mother of Moses: Suckle him [for a time], and then, when thou hast cause to fear for him, cast him into the river, and have no fear and do not grieve - for We shall restore him to thee, and shall make him one of Our message-bearers!” [/i][/green][/font=Century Gothic] [font=Century Gothic][blue] Please note that this Wahi was to the mother of Moses who was to be a messenger of Allah, and that this was much before the Deen was completed by Allah. There can be no such wahi now because the deen has been completed. [/blue][/b][/font=Century Gothic][/quote]
