>Mohammad received the Furqan

So what is really the Furqan ? You have no clue do you? and you know what? you are in good company as the Muslim 3ulama had no clue either

Now for the readers the word Furqan really has no clear meaning as it says in the Qur'an tabaraka al-ladhi anzala al-furqana 3ala 3abdihi and it was indeed a puzzle to the Muslim ulama and could it be from the root Arabic language FRQ and if it is indeed means distinction then it must be al-tafreeq or iftiraq or mufaraqa (see HW dictionary page 709A) and not this strange word furqan .

Now if we turn to Syriac then the word would make lots of sense and it goes as follows:

1. The Syriac word Purqana (PRQN) means salvation

2. Now if it is Arabized then it would be BRQN but because there is no Arabic letter P then the P will be replaced by the Arabic letter Beh or B

3. In the Middle East in the late antique period the letter B (as in Greek beta) was vocalized as V or veta or VRQN

4. But there is no letter V in Arabic and the arabs would use the Arabic letter Feh or F et viola now we have the word FRQN (see also see the Arabization of the word Coptos as Qift)

So it is very clear that the word Furqan in the Qur'an is really not an Arabic word but a loan word from Syriac and a word that is loaded with Christian ideas and it means salvation

So much for the claim that the Qur'an is a clear book written in eloquent Arabic

>Jesus received the Gospel and told people to worship God

Oh you forgot and the Qur'an also says that Jesus also did not die and he created life which makes him a God so congartulations our dear samer the wannabe arab but your Allah is really a Syriac speaker and Jesus is really your Allah ...
