Quoted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_the_EarthThe Beast of the Earth
(دابة الأرض Dabbat al-Arḍ), in Muslim belief, will be one of the signs of the coming of the Last Day. This creature will appear after the sun arises in the west. The phrase appears in the Qur'an, in Sura An-Naml. The term also appears in the hadith, which expands upon the activities of the beast. The Qur'an mentions that the Beast will address the unbelievers and admonish them for their lack of attention towards God. The following is the purport of the Qur'anic verse that has been discussed:
And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust), we shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: He will speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs.
—
Qur'an, sura 27 (An-Naml), ayat 82[1]The Beast is mentioned to have the Staff of Moses and the Seal of Solomon. It will strike the face of the disbelievers with the staff; “He is destined for Hell” will be written on his forehead, and his face will blacken and it will brighten the face of the believer with the Ring of Solomon and “He is destined for Paradise” will be written on his forehead.[citation needed]
As it is seen, when the Beast emerges, people will start to believe, but belief will not be accepted anymore because of the emergence of the major signs.
In al-Qurtubi's book Tadhkirah, the beast is described:Ibn Jurayj reported that Ibn al-Zubayr described the beast and said, "Its head is like the head of a bull, its eyes are like the eyes of a pig, its ears are like the ears of an elephant, its horns are like the horns of a stag, its neck is like the neck of an ostrich, its chest is like the chest of a lion, its color is like the colour of a tiger, its haunches are like the haunches of a cat, its tail is like the tail of a ram, and its legs are like the legs of a camel. Between each pair of its joints is a distance of twelve cubits."

دَابَّةً as computer and creature , made of earthly material is come from Rashad Khalifa ! which says!
http://www.quranbrowser.org/quranbrowse.phpEnglish Version Dr. Rashad Khalifa
27:82
At the right time, we will produce for them a creature, made of earthly materials, declaring that the people are not certain about our revelations.
It is the personal computer with the Internet providing contradictory information to unbelievers at the same time as they go on doubting or disbelieving the message of Allah.
?
It does not make any sense at all , because "the root of the word
"Da'aba" translated as the "creature", carries the meaning of moving - it means "the creature that is moving" and computers are not moving. also arabic word Da'aba is not dab,ba (in urdu dab,ba / ڈبہ mean box ) lol
وَإِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ
دَابَّةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ
(27:82:7)
dābbatana creature
root dāl bā bā (د ب ب)
The Quran donates the word
دَابَّةٍ to all living beings on earth ,
Da'aba comes from the root word: Dal-Ba-Ba which means to go gently, crawl, creep or walk. The word captures whatsoever moves on the earth, especially that of animals - beasts of burden, also the creatures are made of water. quadrupeds and any moving creature whether insects
دیمک /Termite / Deemak verse 34:14 , birds or even Mankind and these kind of water based, moving living creatures have been spread throughout the Universe , this ability to move is pointed in the meaning of the term 'Da'aba'.
وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ
دَابَّةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ ۖ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ بَطْنِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَىٰ أَرْبَعٍ ۚ يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Sahih International 24:45
Allah has created every
[living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things
Pickthall
Allah hath created every
animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind) that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things
وَمَا مِنْ
دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ ۚ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ
[Pickthal 6:38] There is not
an animal in the earth, nor a
flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ
Sahih International
42:29And of his signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of
creatures. And He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent.
Pickthall
And of His portents is the creation of the heaven and the earth, and of whatever
beasts He hath dispersed therein. And He is Able to gather them when He will.
Yusuf Ali
And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the
living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills.
Da'aba is also used to denote humans in the Quran (as opposed to insaan) when generally used in a negative sense.
(8:22:3)
l-dawābi(of) the living creatures
Sahih International
8:22Indeed, the worst of
living creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason.
Pickthall
Lo! the worst of
beasts in Allah's sight are the deaf, the dumb, who have no sense.
وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ
النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا مَا تَرَكَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِهَا مِنْ
دَابَّةٍ وَلَٰكِنْ يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ بَصِيرًا
Sahih International 35:45
And if Allah were to impose blame on
the people ( naas) for what they have earned, He would not leave upon the earth
any creature. But He defers them for a specified term. And when their time comes, then indeed Allah has ever been, of His servants, Seeing.
Pickthall
If Allah took
mankind (nass) to task by that which they deserve, He would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth; but He reprieveth them unto an appointed term, and when their term cometh - then verily (they will know that) Allah is ever Seer of His slaves
Yusuf Ali
If Allah were to punish
men (naas) according to what they deserve. He would not leave on the back of the (earth) a single
living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: when their Term expires, verily Allah has in His sight all His Servants.
Above understanding does not support a modern interpretation (such as the one advanced by Rashad Khalifa) that the 'dabata-minal-ardi' (a creature from the earth) is a reference to a computer it is absolutely nonsense ..
Q: Now correction plz if am wrong here !
27:82 (part)وَإِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ
دَابَّةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ
Now focusing again the subject of the address of verse 27:82. Who is the word (Arabic : Qawlu) , fulfilled وَقَعَ (it had occurred ) (waqia hua / ho chuka , واقع ہوا, ہو چکا ,, against ?
27:82 (part)
And when the Word is fulfilled against them Q: against who ?
Nor canst thou lead the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear, save those who believe Our revelations and who have surrendered.
27:81A: in light of its previous verse (
27:81),if we see the addressees are those who were present at the time of the Prophet (PBUH) but remained in error right ?
then verse (
27:83) which implies the Day of Judgment, then the addressees against whom the word is fulfilled refers to a people of the future ?
Pickthall
And (remind them of) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a host of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be set in array 27:83
وَإِذَا
وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَابَّةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ
waqaAAa al-qawlu AAalayhim 27:82 ( first part )
so 'creature of the earth’ دَابَّةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ , if referring to a human, would have negative connotations. As already noted in above verses (
8:22, 8:55, 35:45), Quran mainly refers to humans as 'Da'aba' in a negative sense, this negative connotation is further supported by the Arabic '
waqa'al-qawlu alayhim' (the word is fulfilled against them) kaffar /disbelievers
?
And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers
41:25 Thus Da'aba' means creature but not necessarily a monster rather it can be interpreted as an evil living entity who will communicate to a person once they have disbelieved , this creature which can be a human, then leads the person to spiritual darkness by whispering and speaking to them ?? because evil whisperers exist in humankind (
114:5-6) and the Quran often speaks about it ,
Pickthall 114:4
From the evil of the sneaking whisperer,
Yusuf Ali
From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper),-
Pickthall114:5
Who whispereth in the hearts of mankind,
Yusuf Ali
(The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind,-
Right Or Wrong ?
also , human’s are too beast natured those who talk nonsense and misguide peopls , like in urdu it says !
tumarhe andar ka janwar bahar aagay hai ,
or
ye tum nahi tumhare andar ka janwar bol raha hai ? like that
I feel this horrible monster or beast misconception is a typical biblical idea , so I thought it would be better if i get some feedbacks before giving my opinion.
@ correct me if i am wrong any feedback would be very appreciated
