The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses (Albert Einstein 1954, in his "Gods Letter")

How does this refute my comment? On the very same site the following definition is provided: raining cats and dogs to be raining in great amounts It was raining cats and dogs by the time I got home. See also: and, cat, dog, rain http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Raining+cats+and+dogs The term "raining cats and dogs" means it's raining a lot, so of course if you say "it's raining cats and dogs" and I assume you are being literal, you have every right to laugh since in society people believe the term to mean lots of rain. I ask you now to show me evidence that in 7th century Arabia, "every mounted" was not a reference to every mounted animal. Go ahead. |

Yes, if it is understood by society to mean that. Everyone knows that it doesn't really rain cats and dogs. Show me evidence that 7th century Arabian society did not believe "all kinds of mounts" was in reference to all kinds of animals that a person can ride on.
See above.
Funnily enough, this guy would disagree with you: His explanation on what "every mounted" means starts at 54:24. http://tafsir.io/22/27 I guess you are going to laugh at him too?... Edited by TG12345 - 23 February 2016 at 8:42pm |

I am going to transcribe what he said, for your benefit and the benefit of others reading this thread. Feel free to tell me why you disagree with my understanding of his explanation on what �every mounted� means. He said �..Wa ala kulli damirin�and they will come upon each and every single type of animal imaginable. And �damir� or �damura� in the Arabic language basically refers to an anmal that becomes extremely fatigued and tired after a very long journey. So damir is what you call an an animal that is near death after an extremely long, arduous journey. So they will come upon these animals that will be fatigued. They�ll be tired. They�ll arrive in these vehicles that will be running out of gas. Right. So they�ll be arriving on these animals that are completely fatigued and tired� |

I have no idea why he referred to cars as "animals", by "every animal imaginable", he must have meant "every form of transportation imaginable". Which does nothing to clear up the mistake. |
