Yeah i get its a place in the Book of Habakkuk. So you mean that Selah is referring to the people residing in Saleh?

Then how about Psalms 46:4?

"Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. Selah"

What is Selah referring to here? It cant be referring to Mount Sela or city of Saleh, right?

Akhi, you updated tHe articles by adding Mount Sela. But, you did not remove the thing you said about Selah in the Book of Habakkuk meaning the city of Saleh. Selah in the Book of Habakkuk is merely a musical direction and is not referring to anything. The place that is actually referring to Mount Sela or city of Saleh is in Isaiah 42.

You have to remove the words in bold in your article: "3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah (Arabian desert of  Selah in Isaiah 42:11 and MOUNT SELA in Medina thoroughly discussed below)."

This is because as I said, Selah in Habakkuk 3:3 is not referring to the city of Saleh but is only a musical direction.

Well I didn't know that this website was #1 in 1999 because I didn't even exist then. I also don't know how you will advertise this whole website because I don't know all this technology stuff. This website will probably have a great impact if advertised. One question, after 9/11 was this website stormed by anti-islamists?

What are you planning to do with it? Will you try to advertise the whole world or this country or something like that? Because I don't think many people would find this website manually and look at the AC Reach project.

I'm not sure if you saw this scientific miracle but it can be a scientific miracle. Here it is:

Yusuf Ali:

[024:040]  Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom God giveth not light, there is no light!

Arabic text:
 24:40 او كظلمات في بحر لجي يغشاه موج من فوقه موج من فوقه سحاب ظلمات بعضها فوق بعض اذا اخرج يده لم يكد يراها ومن لم يجعل الله له نورا فماله من نور

"...billow (wave) topped by billow (wave)..." can probably refer to an internal wave topped by a surface wave (the usual wave). Nobody knew back then about internal waves, which can mean that this is a scientific miracle.

Wikipedia on internal waves: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_wave


Also, this can just refer to the obvious surface waves following each other. But, maybe the Verse can be referring to both, who knows.


(By the way, when I read this Verse in the Quran at first, I thought that there was a mistake in my Quran because it repeated موج من فوقه twice consecutively so I looked in other Qurans and saw they were all the same. Turns out that this could be a scientific miracle now.)

Sorry im not sure if you saw my last question but it was: My last question. Before the Universe was created, nothing existed except Allah. Since light is a creation, it didnt exist. So how would Allah have light then?

After this i will stop asking questions about Him.

So tafsir ibn Kathir was wrong right? He said that Allah showed His pinky when the pinky is just an earthly description and not literal?
