The Bible talks about an interesting usage for the Apple; it says that the Apple could refresh the one who is sick with love.  The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general.  The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.

 

====================================

 

The Apple in the Bible

 

In the Bible King Solomon says in his Song:

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.

As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.

As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

Sustain me with grape-cakes; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.

His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!

Upon reading this Biblical song, one may ask if the Bible is a book that teaches the religion or a book that teaches the private hot issues happening between men and women!

In the Noble Quran, the great Prophet King Solomon does not say such a song.

Song of Solomon 2:1-6 in four different versions of the Bible:

 

New International Version

1 I am a rose of Sharon,  a lily of the valleys.

2 Like a lily among thorns  is my darling among the maidens.

3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

4 He has taken me to the banquet hall,  and his banner over me is love.

5 Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.

6 His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

 

American Standard Version

1 I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.

2 As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.

5 Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.

6 His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.

 

King James Version

1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

 

Young’s Literal Translation

1As a lily among the thorns,

2So [is] my friend among the daughters!

3As a citron among trees of the forest, So [is] my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit [is] sweet to my palate.

4He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me [is] love,

5Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I [am] sick with love.

6His left hand [is] under my head, And his right doth embrace me.

The Apple in the Quran

 

The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general.  The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.

Verses 36: 55-58 talk about the fruits in the afterlife for those who merit Paradise i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise.

————————————–

 

The meaning of verse 36: 55

Indeed, this day which is the Day of Judgment, those who merit Paradise i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise are busy; they are delighting in pleasures; they are not tiring with anything wearisome, as there is no toil in Paradise; they are blissful and rejoicing in comfort.

 

The meaning of verse 36: 56

For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they and their wives are in pleasant shade; in other words, no sunlight affects them. They and their wives are on thrones reclining; reclining upon couches (the word couches in Arabic is pronounced as “Ara’ik”, which is the plural of ar?ka.  Ar?ka is a bed inside a curtained canopy, or the bedding therein on thrones reclining)

 

The meaning of verse 36: 57

For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.

 

The meaning of verse 36: 58

  1. For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, Allah, the Lord of the worlds will greet them with the word “Peace”; they are greeted with the greeting of peace!   In other words, Allah, the Merciful Lord will say to them, ‘Peace be on you!’

Verses 36: 55-58 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

Verse 36: 55

QARIB: indeed, the companions of the garden are this day busy in their rejoicing.

SHAKIR: surely the dwellers of the garden shall on that day be in an occupation quite happy

Verse 36: 57

QARIB: they shall have fruits and all that they call for.

SHAKIR: they shall have fruits therein, and they shall have whatever they desire

PICKTHAL: theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;

YUSUFALI: (every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for;

 

Verse 36: 58

QARIB: peace, a saying from the most merciful lord.

SHAKIR: peace: a word from a merciful lord

PICKTHAL: the word from a merciful lord (for them) is: peace!

Digital cameras are available in different price-range. They have different utility for different people. An ace photographer will prefer the best available digital camera to get the best results. The photographer is able to capture the finest details of the target with due efforts. A professional photographer will never compromise on the quality of the camera because it is their livelihood. The person pursuing career in this field will certainly look after the best quality camera and can wait for some time to get one as well. A serious photographer clicks pictures for the International market and competes with other photographers in the International market. Therefore, digital camera-prices are not a matter of concern for the ace photographer.

Students undergoing training for photography are also in need of the best digital cameras. However, they can do with the little lower quality cameras because they are in learning stage and can do with optimum quality digital camera due to lower price.

The digital camera prices are mostly dependent on the lens, its configuration, and focus. High quality lens are costlier so the camera fitted with superior quality lens are also costlier in price. The higher pixel-size digital camera is costlier because that offers better pictures. A 4Mega Pixel camera is inferior to 10Mega Pixel camera due to the difference in pixel-size. The optical zoom and digital zoom are other two factors which decide upon digital camera prices.

The normal hobbyist should look for good quality digital camera which is high in optical zoom. The camera should not highly advance because it is difficult to handle by hobbyists. Many people want to get the best photographs. They should go for good quality digital camera which is neither to high nor too low in range.

There are some casual photographers also who just want to possess the digital camera to use it occasionally. They like to purchase their marginal-quality camera which is not so high on pockets. The reason is that they don’t want to spend a lot on low-utility items.

Always look for your requirements before purchasing a digital camera. If you like to pursue it as hobby, then go for quality without giving too much consideration to digital camera prices.
