See how Muslims impose later Shariah principles into Qur'anic translations (#06)

We now move into the 11th - 14th mistakes which Muslim translators have made when translating the Qur'an into English. These mistakes are all created by the translators who to create or re-define Arabic words in the Qur'an which are already in the Islamic Traditions, but now need to be found in the Qur'an to give those traditions credibility. Thus, they are all intentional, yet not linguistically appropriate, and even at times deceptive. 11) Surah 6:106 - "Follow what has been 'revealed' to you [Muhammad} from your Lord". The word in question is "Wahy", which in this verse is translated as "revealed", or "what is revealed", assuming that Muhammad receives revelation from Allah. But that is not correct, since the word 'revealed' in Arabic already exists...it is "Kashafa", which looks nothing like 'Wahy'. In Surah 19:11, the word "wahy' exists as well, and here the translator translates it as "signs", which is the correct meaning. In Surah 6:112, the word "wahy' is found again, and here the translator translates it as "whispering", or "inspiring". He dare not translate it as revelation, because it is referring to Jinn, and how can they be given revelation. Thus, while 'wahy' means 'hints, or cues, or signs, or even 'whispering', it does not mean 'revealed', but had to be used by the translators to give Muhammad more authority as the one to whom the Qur'an was revealed. 12) Surah 2:168 - "O mankind, eat of that which is 'lawful'..." The word is "Hallal", but nowhere in the Qur'an is there a term for "Lawful". In Surah 20:27 this word simply means "remove" or "untie", or "to make free", so that mankind can eat freely. The Muslim translators needed this word to mean Lawful, to help them with their Shariah indictments which are in the traditions (SIN), and so they simply mistranslated Hallal to support that need. 13) Surah 11:91 - "We would certainly have 'stoned' you..." The word is "rajam" which here is used in later Shariah law to support the stoning of adulterers. In Surah 15:34 the word 'rajeem' refers to being cursed, or expelled, which is the true meaning for this word. So the earlier verse only refers to being expelled from the clan, not stoned, but the translators needed a Qur'anic reference point for stoning to give credibility to the practice which was introduced later on in the Standard Islamic Narratives. 14) Surah 3:115 - "They will never be 'denied' the reward for any good deed they have done". The word is "kaffar" which in this context refers to denied. In Surah 4:31 the word 'Kaffar' is translated as "absolve", or "remove" as in the context of removing or absolving one's lesser sins. In Surah 2:152 the word Kaffar is translated as "ungrateful" or "deny me". Yet, in Surah 3:91 it is translated as "those who disbelieve", and is synonymous with those who are unbelievers, which has become the popular term for non-Muslims today. But linguistically this word doesn't mean that at all, but means "absolved, or remove, or ungrateful, or deny', which can all pertain to Muslims as well. So, it seems that the word "Wahy" does not mean 'revelation' for Muhammad, but really means 'hints, or cues or signs. The word "Halal" doesn't mean 'unlawful' at all, but really means 'make loose, or make free'. The word "Rajam" doesn't mean 'stoning at all, but really means expelled, or cursed. The word "Kaffar" doesn't mean 'infidel' at all, but simply means 'absolved, or remove'. In all four cases the translators were looking for words to introduce these ideas from the Standard Islamic Narrative into the Qur'an, and so mistranslated them all in order to fit their agenda. But linguistically, once you compare the same word in other places in the Qur'an we find quickly that not only is what they have done incorrect, but it is dishonest. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics & Polemics - US, 2024 (108,920) Music: 'Joy at Word' by Musicifiles, from filmmusic-io
