I hope the following links will clarify a lot about Submitters.

Salam brothers/sisters,

I have alittle issue with the translation of verse [29:48], near the bottom of your second link:
[orange]You were not able to recite a book before this [book came] nor were you able to write it. In that case indeed these deniers would have raised doubts. (Al-Ankaboot 29: 48)[/orange]

as opposed to Rashad's translation of that verse:
[orange]"You did not read the previous sciptures,nor did you write them with your hand. In that case, the rejectors would have had reason to harbour doubts."[/orange]

I have to say that it could be possible that Rashad's translation is more in context, if you read the aya directly before it, which are refering to previous holy scriptures simply as 'books'.

and to brother Ibrahim(or anyone else), I would like to hear your general opinions of my questions(first post, p.17). For example:
-do you really think that the letters such as a.l.m. serve no purpose besides naming the sura?
-What is your opinion of the music hadith I mentioned in specific. Most sunnis I knew in Saudia believe listenening to any music w/ beat is haram. Do you listen to any?

may God guide us,
 Abdullah
