Murad says that when you add words into the Qur'an, it's surprisingly SINFUL! (#05)

It was obvious in almost every case that the translators needed these words or phrases in the text to give authority to what has been written in the SIN. Here are two examples, numbers 9 and 10, of the 40 which Murad is introducing in this series: 9) Surah 3:123 - The word "Badr" means in Arabic a time of year, usually when the moon is at its fullest, so the 'Full Moon'. In this verse, however, the Muslim English translators have changed it to say "the battle of Badr", which was the first battle which Muhammad was involved in, during the year 624, according to the SIN. In order to have this battle referred to in the Qur'an, to give it more authority, the translators imposed it into the text, when it clearly is not there in the Arabic. Surah 8:41 - Here the words in Arabic should be simply "the day the two armies met", but in the translations they have added the words "at Badr", yet it clearly is not in the Arabic. In the context, the verse is about the time when Moses was separating the sea. But the translators needed this story of Badr in the Qur'an, so they just imposed it "willy-nilly". Surah 3:165 - Here is another example of a battle, but no reference is in the Arabic to say which battle it is, yet, the translators have added two SIN battles, that of Badr and Uhud, though these names are not there in the Arabic at all. 10) Surah 8:1 - the word "Anfail" which means in Arabic "additional" has been translated "spoils of war" by the English translators. That is clearly not the meaning at all. But the translators need this added idea to support what happened at the battles which Muhammad took part in. In two other verses, Surah 17:79 and Surah 21:72 we find the same words, yet in both of those instances the translators translated the word correctly, saying "additional". These are all examples of "Asbab al-Nuzul" which, according to Wikipedia means Occasions or circumstances of revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl, أسباب النزول), or referencing the historical context in which Qur'ran verses were revealed from the perspective of the S.I.N. (i.e. traditionalist theology of Islam). Though it has some use in reconstructing the Qur'an's historicity, asbāb is by nature an exegesis rather than a historiography genre, and as such usually associates the verses it explains with general situations rather than specific events. In order for Muslims to find credence for the events in the Standard Narrative, they look at occasions in the Qur'an where they can add those instances, or in these two examples, the names and ideas, so that greater authority is given to these events in their traditions. This, however, goes against every rule in translation, so that instead of properly exegeting the Arabic text, the translators have eisegeted it (imposed their own meanings) which suggests not only a bias, but an agenda. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics & Polemics - US, August 1, 2018 (108,740) Music: 'Joy at Word' by Musicifiles, from filmmusic-io
