And such like all from one or other of the Hebrew, Syriac, or Chaldaean tongues. To know their meaning, it must be learnt from Hebrew, Chaldaean, and Syriac, for they are not genuine Arabic words.
The following ideas are common to both Jews Judaism and MuslimsIslam:—
:In the Qur'an we are told of there being ===Seven heavens, and seven storeys to Hell, — which we also find in Jewish writings.<ref>Qur'an xv. 44; xvii. 46. Jewish books, Hagigah, and Zohar.</ref> Similar accounts of the heavens and the earth we have also in Sanskrit sources, and also from Muslim tradition; and also from such stories in Zoroastrian books as that there are seven climes, etc.Heavens===
:In Surah xi. 9, the Qur'an we are told of Godthere being Seven heavens, and seven storeys to Hell, — which we also find in Jewish writings.<ref>Qur's throne being above the watersan xv. 44; and similarly the xvii. 46. Jewish Rashibooks, Hagigah, commenting on Genesis iand Zohar. 2, says: "the glorious throne stood in </ref> Similar accounts of the heavens and moved over the face of the waters." Againearth we have also in Sanskrit sources, Muslims tell us and also from Islamic tradition; and also from such stories in Zoroastrian books as that the Lord appointed an angel Malik ruler over Jehannam. Similarly the Jews speak of the Prince of Hell; only the Muslims call him Malik, following the ancient idolators of Palestinethere are seven climes, who worshipped the Ruler of Fire as Molechetc.
===God's throne being above the waters=== In Qur'an 11:9, we are told of :God's throne being above the watersand similarly the Jewish Rashi, commenting on Genesis 1:2, says: :the glorious throne stood in the heavens and moved over the face of the waters. ===Prince of Hell=== Again, Islam tells us that the Lord appointed an angel Malik ruler over Jehannam. Similarly the Jews speak of the Prince of Hell; only the Muslims call him Malik, following the ancient idolators of Palestine, who worshipped the Ruler of Fire as Molech. ===Wall separating Paradise and Hell=== :In Surah vii. 44 there is mention of a wall or partition called Aaraf as separating Paradise and Hell, thus:— :And between the two a Veil, and upon Al Aaraf (stand) men. So in the Jewish Midrash, when it is asked what the distance is between heaven and hell, :the answer of one Rabbi is "a wall," and of another "a span"; and again. "Our leaders tell us that the two are so close that a mere ray glances from one to the other." And so we find similar passages in the Avestic and Pehlavi writings, as, — "the distance is but as that between light and darkness." ===Satan listening stealthily===
:In three passages of the Qur'an,<ref>Qur'an xv. 17 and 34; xxxvii. 7; lxvii. 5.</ref> we are told of Satan listening stealthily, and being driven away with stones; another idea taken from the Jews, in one of whose books we find it written of the Genii that "they listened behind the curtain" in order to gain knowledge of things to come.
===Hell shall say, day by day, Give me food===
:In Qur'an 1:29, we read: On the day we shall say unto hell, Art thou full? and it shall reply, Is there yet any more? Similarly in a Jewish author:-- "The Prince of Hell shall say, day by day, Give me food that I may be full."
===The Flood was boiling water===
In Qur'an 11:42 and 23:27, it is said of the Flood, The oven boiled over; and in a Jewish work we have this: "The people of the Flood were punished with boiling water."
