    To the admin & the moderators,

    Hello!! Long time no see, but I'm still aware of your everyday hard work. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're the best people. I promise I would do my best to continue what I left in the future (I still haven't forgotten; all is bookmarked :lol: )

    Love you all :wub:

    As Shinichi and Ran have confessed to each other their feelings in indirect way throughout DC franchise (though Ran confessed to Shinichi her love with direct words but it wasn't face to face), I would like Heiji x Kazuha's relationship to be focused and then developed.

    Another thing, it's time to see the two rivals Conan vs. Kaitou Kid back together, specially when Conan finally figures out Kid's identity, but it would be nicer if he encounter him as Shinichi. I would love to see their face reactions when they confront each other to see what will happen ＼(^▽^＠)ノ

    In other words: I WANT ADVANCING; SOMETHING NEW (*≧艸≦)

    i like too, and i like a sad theme song as well. ithink it is slow music

    There are two popular sad music themes in DC (as far as I know).

    • Ai no Theme B (Piano version) - Countdown To Heaven Movie O.S.T.
    • Sore Ke Conan (which was played throughout the series)

    Both are good music but for me, I like the second one much more. Of course if you prefer piano, you will like the first one. So it's a matter of taste ^^. Hope that helps in the end :)

    Oh and add BOYFRIEND - Hitomi no Melody (DC 44th Closing) to the collection. It's pretty good song (✿◠‿◠)

    In the second quote I'm just saying that, unlike now, people wouldn't need تفسير or anything to understand the Quran

    I would like you to restate "Reasons mentioned in previous posts" but without mixing between the ancient times and now, because you said yourself in the quote above of yours "unlike now" which means nowadays we need interpretations-تفسير in order to understand Qur'an better. Therefore, Modern (Standard-فصحى) Arabic is not like Classical Arabic. Of course they are both standard (فصحى) but the reason why I classified them is mentioned above.

     

    Lexis: Of course, people's فصحى language has weakened because of the very common use of عامية (colloquial Arabic). But if you go back to old literature,

     

    Your whole argument was comparing between the Qur'an's language and people's language at that time, which isn't what I've been talking about the whole time.

    So please understand, or restate your reasons above if you're not convinced yet.

    Of course I'm not arguing here, I'm just trying to be clear with you so that i can understand what you want. There's been misunderstanding here because your reasons are based on something I wasn't arguing about.

     

    P.S: I read your posts over and over again carefully in order to understand what you want, so please do the same because you didn't understand me.

    There IS a decent number of people who know Arabic well enough to understand the Quran without reading تفسير whatsoever. It's not like the Quran came down with words that never existed before. They were words that existed, expressions that existed, and the very few new religious terms in the Quran were derived from words that existed before that. What, did God send a book with new unclear words no one that time had ever heard of? NO. The meaning was very clear to Arabs than because that was the language they spoke. In the Quran, countless times, it says ((آيات بينات)) about the Quran's verses, meaning they are clear to understand and yet are rich and nothing could match them. Plus, if what you're calling MSA and CA are different things, how come there's a single word, فصحى, for them in Arabic?

    Only in the Quran can you find rich language? You really should read poetry. Of course in NO WAY do I mean that there is anything richer than the Quran, it's just there's A LOT of poetry before, during, and after the prophet's life. And it is said about the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم that he ((أوتي جوامع الكلم)), and 'Aisha رضي الله عنها once said something that meant "he spoke in very simple language that really anyone could understand".

    The إعجاز in the Quran isn't the individual words themselves; they existed beforehand, and like I said previously any other terms were derived from previously-existing words. It's the way the words perfectly fit together, the way they were used. And, unlike poetry, there was no ضرورة شعرية WHATSOEVER to make the Quran rhyme when it did. The way it told of stories of people or prophets many centuries or millenniums ago that know one or few had heard of before is also called إعجاز, and the way it sometimes told of the future, and the way any scientific information in it is 100% true, though people never scientifically proved it until MUCH afterwards.

    -Lexis: Of course, people's فصحى language has weakened because of the very common use of عامية (colloquial Arabic). But if you go back to old literature, you'll find lots of vocabulary used that is also used in the Quran. Also, though this doesn't exactly count, some خطباء might use language from the Quran, or take expressions from it.

    -Stylistics: I have nothing against that; it IS, of course, the finest piece of literature by far, and no piece of literature could surpass the Quran.

    My argument here isn't that the Quran isn't the finest, most precise, or richest piece of Arabic literature; it is. What I'm trying to say is it makes no sense to consider the Quran on its own a whole different form of te language, reasons stated above.

    Like I said above, I meant in the first quote that the usage of Arabic, the figurative language, the rich yet comprehensible language and examples, and its telling of الغيب (events in the past or future no one knew then that only God knew) is what surprised them.

    In the second quote I'm just saying that, unlike now, people wouldn't need تفسير or anything to understand the Quran; the words and vocabulary used in it was nothing new. It's just the usage of Arabic, the expressions, etc that made it unmatchable.

    Again, I mean in NO way that ANYTHING or any text is like the Quran; I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to consider it a whole form of language on its own.

    Please pay attention to the word: Nowadays. I'm speaking about now, because the whole comparison is between "Modern Standard Arabic" and "Classical Arabic".

    The language of Qur'an is classified "Classical" because it's considered as ancient. Whereas, the written or formal language, which is used nowadays is classified "Modern Standard" because of the development it took with the passing of time through the years.

    So what I want to reach in the end is that nowadays, reading a holy story in a book is not like when you read that story in Qur'an. Period

    ^Did you get that from the Internet? <_<

    I... don't... see that as exactly true. "Classic Arabic" isn't really something. It's not just found in reading the Quran. When the Quran first came down that was how people used to speak, and many centuries later they still spoke it.

    1. I'm talking about nowadays. Can you find now someone who speaks the language of God !!!??? because I don't think so. So nowadays, you can only find Classical Arabic in Qur'an.
    2. Do you really think that when Qur'an first came, people were talking the same!!! If so, why don't we find that in (أحاديث الرسول (ص ?

    Inimitability of the Qur'an or "I'jaz-إعجاز" is the belief that no human speech can match the Qur'an in its content and form. The Qur'an is considered an inimitable miracle by Muslims, and thereby the central proof granted to our prophet Mohammad (ص) in authentication of his prophetic status. So how come you say "that was how people used to speak"!!!

     

    ^"Modern Standard Arabic" many people might see very different from "Classic Arabic", but it's not.

    Sorry to tell you that it is different in terms of :

    1. Lexis (all the words and phrases of a particular language). There are so many words that aren't used in the Modern Standard Arabic or the Spoken Arabic, which can be only found in Qur'an.
    2. Stylistics (the study of style and the methods used in written language). Qur'an is actually considered the finest piece of literature in Arabic language. It's the speech of God.

    On the other hand, what has been remained the same is :

    1. Morphology (the forms of words-علم الصرف).
    2. Syntax (the way that words and phrases are put together to form sentences in a language-علم النحو).

    So your opinion is inaccurate or imprecise.

     

    ^ But original Arabic, "Modern Standard Arabic", is still used

    I didn't say it's not. Of course it's used, that's why it's called "Modern", but it's not spoken in our informal everyday conversations. That's why I said "it's used in most written documents as well as in formal spoken occasions, such as lectures and news broadcasts".

     

    ^language used in the Quran, which is very rich in language that even people of the prophet's صلى الله عليه و سلم time were surprised.

     

    ^When the Quran first came down that was how people used to speak, and many centuries later they still spoke it.

    Comparing between the two quotations above, you actually are contradicting yourself.

    Hello, I'm Syrian. As a native speaker, I can say that learning Arabic is not easy. It needs a lot of patience, and it's not like any other language as it belongs to the Afro-Asiatic language family. Whereas English, for example, belongs to the Indo-European language family. So there is much much difference. Now for me, I don't have much time to join and teach our friends Arabic as I have to continue my edit for the wiki, but I can give a summary.

     

    Actually "Arabic" is a name applied to the descendants of the Classical Arabic language of the 6th century AD. "Classical Arabic" is the language of Qur'an. Nowadays, it's used as a liturgical language of Islam.The literary language is called Modern Standard Arabic. It is currently the official form of Arabic, used in most written documents as well as in formal spoken occasions, such as lectures and news broadcasts. Finally, the spoken language is called Colloquial Arabic. It is a collective term for the spoken varieties of Arabic used throughout the Arab world, which differs radically from the Modern Standard Arabic.

     

    So we have three kinds of Arabic Language:

    1. Classical Arabic;  Only found when reading Qur'an.

    2. Modern Standard Arabic: Is currently the official form of Arabic.
    3. Colloquial Arabic: Is the spoken language that contains many dialects
