What's funny is your translation of fatihah...

While I will concede that my use of translation was liberal. Mother of the Qur'an is another name for the opening.

Your translation was incorrect, not liberal. Yes, Mother of the Qur'an is also used as a name for the same chapter. You also made a whole host of unsubstantiated claims with no recourse to citations. There's a difference between an opinionated commentary and a contextual/linguistic commentary.

It's alright no problem. I think I was taking it too seriously anyway, I have the classical commentaries of the Qur'an at home and also a comprehensive Arabic-English dictionary, in hindsight I don't think this is the place to debate about the verses, you can write whatever you want, think of this place as your blog. As for me, then I'm going to ignore what goes on here, because then I will feel compelled to step in every time I see an incorrect translation or an unsubstantiated claim about a verse.

I was not expecting that reaction. I don't mind if you want to comment about something. How about if you see something you disagree with you get say something about it and I'll double check. No name calling or frustration required?

That`s great, since my time is severely limited.

If you dont mind, I will simply pick up were you left when I continue doing this, which doesnt mean that I am stopping you from not posting your own commentary.

Maybe we could share the reading and commenting part?

Thanks! I think that sounds like a great idea.
