Bismillah:
Quote:I had never heard the claim that Wel Mel made about Deur. 33, but that answer seems pretty comprehensive.
The answer might appear to you as comprehensive but none of my questions were answered CC.
First the author in the site provided by reep said: <b> "Deuteronomy 33:2 is talking about God himself"</b> but when I opened my Bible commentary I found the following interpretation. <i>"Under a beautiful metaphor, borrowed from the dawn and progressive splendor of the sun,<b> the Majesty of God is sublimely described as a divine light which appeared</b>........"</i> and as you know, the Majesty of God, or the Guidance of God, or the Mercy of God can appear through His messengers and Prophets. So this guy's interpretation is not sufficient and still can very well mean a Prophet.
He also said: <b>"This word does not simply mean 10,000; rather it means </b> "multitude, myriad, ten thousand" ... So the word could mean ten thousand too. Still there is a possibility that it is referred to Muhammad pbuh army. Otherwise to whom ? Unanswered question.
And what is the significant of mentioning the city of <b>PARAN (MECCA</b>) here?
