You are correct I have not responded to some of your points. That is because as I mentioned earlier I find your style very furstrating you do not directly respond to the points of discussion but jump to another.

Therefore I cannot see any purpose in continuing this discussion. I think neither of us appear to be able to grasp each others point. As far as I can see you have not responded to any of my points directly.
We started with:
DARBA - I have given you translations by the the very people you quoted initially i.e Yousuf Ali et al. I dont know how to get the point across to you, perhaps my written language is poor. I will try once more:

I have given you the translations of the word DARBA in different verses in the Quran where it has been translated differently & THEY ARE NOT MY TRANSLATIONS. THESE ARE NOT MY INTERPERTATIONS BUT TRANSLATIONS OF THE VERY PEOPLE YOU HAVE QUOTED. As I am not even able to get this very basic point across to you I doubt whether we will be able have discussion on more complex issues.

[b]DO YOU ACCEPT THAT THE WORD DARBA HAS BEEN TRANSLATED DIFFERENTLY IN DIFFERENT VERSES[/b]

Very simple question I dont know why you are able to answer it simply.

[quote] [b]The text of the Qur'an will not accept multiplicity of explanations.[/b] This fulfils the obligatory and essential basis for the claim of the Qur'an that it is a balance in whose scales; everything must be weighed in order to ascertain the extent of truth; and criterion or distinguisher of good and evil which like a sieve sifts out good from evil.  [/quote]

I think this sums up the difference in our approach. How do you know which explanation is the correct one?[/quote]
