I read this as you have no clue about what I wrote in the e-mail to your master sheikh al-azhar but while we are waiting for your e-mail to either your master sheikh al-azhar or mufti al-mamlaka al-3arabiyya al-sa3udiyya that you have the answer to the big time fadih (sic) kabeer (sic) in hadhan lasahiran here is one more disaster from the Qur'an and it says وانه لما قام عبد الله يدعوه كادوا يكونون عليه لبدا oh darn it the Arabic well you have a majisteer in al-lugha al-3arabiyya albeit imaginary

For the readers the above aya says and when the servant/slave of allah stood up they almost became upon him libada

Oh yes it does not make any sense and if you notice i left the last word libada untranslated because it has no meaning

So you tell us O glorious graduate of wahhabi central what does thw word libada mean?

Let me help you no one has a clue

Now enter Luxenberg and what he is saying is that the word libada is a misreading of Syriac ܠܒܕܐ was read instead of what would have been in a garshouni text ܥܒܕܐ

Which if you notice that Syriac lam and Syriac 3ayn are very close in morphology and the 3ayn can be read as lam and if Arabized it becomes لبدا et voila we have the answer and what a fadiha Syriac in the Qur'an and now let us go back and read the aya again the word قام really means he stood up and this case it really means he did rise from the dead and as far as we know Abul Qasim never did rise from the dead and this must be Jesus so here is the reading of the aya

and that when the servant of god was resurrected all the while calling him (that is contiunuing to worship god) they (the people) would also have worshiped him (as god)

ya nahar eswid the Qur'an really says that Jesus did rise from the dead

You must pardon me but you are a fake
