[edit] My email
Hi, did you get my email? Peter Damian (talk) 14:59, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Your invitation and comments
AoA: I visited your page at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User_talk:Abd. I was an advocate of EN:WP in my locality, although I started editing last year, inspite of a user account opened in 2006. Anyhow, I am not disheartened simply on account of deletion of editings. My grief is over undue domination of Sys/Admin. (They mostly did injustice in the name of justice because: if one can write a wrong then I can write also). I do not close all door.
I appreciate your offer. I request you to show me bright prospects of my learning there.
I further request you for clarification of "And those who argue about it do not know." -- Qur'an, my translation. Written by you on talk page of my essay you recently commented. Nannadeem (talk) 11:37, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
While you may have looked at my user page, you were likely not logged in to Wikipedia when you did. You did not leave a message. One of the paths to learning is to follow instructions. Be logged in to Wikiversity (the display will tell you, and your Wikipedia account should work) and leave a message on my user talk page there. --Abd (talk) 19:26, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- I requested you for a clarification (3rd para of this section)... would not you satisfy me Nannadeem (talk) 19:02, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- The reference is to 4:157, and for the Arabic with a poor translation see [1]. It's one of a number of verses which refer to human arrogance. The verse does not explicitly say "[another] was made to resemble him to them." That's a gloss. The verse simply mentions an appearance, a resemblance, something that seemed to be what they were saying, but that was not. It doesn't even say that he did not die. It says they did not kill him, and that this is a certainty. But what actually happened, it does not say. Why should it? Why do we need to know what happened two thousand years ago?
- Let me put it this way: those who think we need to know are those who have fixed ideas about what the event means. They are those being described. Those fixed ideas are human inventions. --Abd (talk) 02:51, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
