Hold on, sorry if again I sounded stupid, but according to this explanation, there was no need to mention 3 nights?? why was the nights mentioned here??? It would have sufficed for Eassa salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam to say 3 days - that would include 24 hours rather than making the statement ambigous by saying 3 days and 3 nights when he meant 3 time periods...
Quote:The "three days" aren't reckoned the way we count days (ie three 24 hour periods). The term "three days" in Biblical usage has the word "day" referring to a period of light or a period of dark.

Shamms, what wael meant is that I only need to read the verse to be able to understand what he is refering to. And by the way, I never give the reply that u fail to understand Quran because u dont read it in its native language. Actually, how did thousands, millions of non Arabic speakers embrace islam after reading translations of the meanings????
