98 In Pakistan there is an understanding amongst the villagers that, if a husband is illiterate in Arabic but the wife can read the Quran, the husband will not learn how to read Quran from his wife as they believe that in doing so the wife will become his usthad (teacher). In doing so they will not be able to honour the respect for her as a teacher and a wife.

652 I am 76 years old, of Sunni parentage. I was taught reading Namaz and keeping Roza right from my childhood. However, when I grew up and studied Quran, nowhere in Quran could I find, Khudaa, Parwardigaar, Namaz, Namaazi, Jaae Namaz, Roza, Roza Daar and Mehr. I found in Quran Allah, Rabb, Salat, Musalli, Musallaa, Sawm, Saaim and Saduq. Further, I found in Quran: ittabi-'u maaa uuhiya ilayka mi~rrabbik (al-an'aam), khudaa, parwardigaar , namaaz, namaazi, jaae namaaz, roza, roza daar and mehr are not wahii. Wa kazaalika anzalnaahu hukman 'arabiyyaa (arra'ad) khudaa, parwardigaar , namaaz, namaazi, jaae namaaz, roza, roza daar and mehr are not Arabi. Wa haazaa lisaanun 'arabiyyu~mmubiin (annamal). Mubiin is a sifaati name of Allaah, therefore the inference being that the language of 'Arabi is of sifat of Allaah. Accordingly, no other language can be equal to Arabi, or can replace Arabi, or can substitute Arabi, or can fully and completely represent and convey the meaning of Arabi, so far as wahii is concerned. Thus, in the light of Wa haazaa lisaanun 'arabiyyu~mmubiin, using the Persian terms in place of what Allaah Has ordained amounts to equating Persian with Arabi as mubiin - a sifat of Allaah - in matters of wahii thereby it amounts to being shirk. And surely you are aware more than anyone else that Khudaa, Parwardigaar , Namaz, Namazi, Jaae Namaz, Roza, Roza Daar and Mehr are the terms of the Zoroastrian faith. (It may be added that in Zuroastrian faith a woman in condition of 'hayz' is called 'bi-namaz' or 'bey namaaz'). So I am very puzzled and confused as to how these terms of kufr have found their way into Islam and that too without the authority of Quran. I most humbly and respectfully beg you kindly give me explanation, quoting the authority of Quran, about the use in Islam of these kufraana Zoroastrian terms of Khudaa, Parwardigaar, Namaaz, Namaazi, Jaae Namaaz, Roza, Roza Daar and Mehar.

800 I have viewed numerous verses from the Quran that explicitly states the Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is a witness for all generations and this is my firm belief. Recently though I came across a verse that seems to be in direct contrast to this belief. The verse is the following, "You were not there on the western slopes (of the mountain) where we gave Musa the commandments! You were not a witness" (28:44). Please explain.
