living islam _ Islamic tradition

Source: El Hayat Newspaper DD August 21 2001 / p14

The article is about a new book written by Prof..Saad Abdel Moteleb AbdelAAl, a specialist in Hieroglyphic and a Moslem who have reached the conclusion that some of the Arabic words mentioned in the holly Koran as "words" or "letters"have meanings in the old Egyptian language (being the lingua franca for centuries before Islam) and that these meanings are very appropriate in their context in the holly Koran as well as in the Arabic language in general (such as in names of mountains, areas, etc)

The book is entitled "El Hiroghlipheya tofasser el Koran El Karim"and is in the Arabic language only till now.

Below are some examples of the Arabic words and their meaning in hieroglyphic:

El Hejjaz = the light
El Taef = The eastern land
El Tama = the hidden
Alak = the mind and the understanding
Hour-Ayn = The beautiful faces
El Ferdous = The home of infinity = dar el bakaa
Barzakh = the home of protectiveness /&/or remembrance

The article then cites 1 example out of 29 defining letters in the Holy Koran as words in the old Egyptian language... this is the example of "KAHYASS " at the beginning of suret Miriam which is formed of the following letters:
Kaf
Haa
Yaa
Ayn
Sad
These letters are viewed by the author as words, thus with the following meaning:
Kaf means = show the truth / show the hidden
Haa =pay attention
ya = to that
ayn = a good / honest slave
sad = to say or recount
As a whole the sentence means " We will tell you the truth of one of Our secrets, so pay attention to the real story good slave".
Then the Surat recounts the story of Issan (AS)
