Muslim Translators sanitize the Qur'an's Grammatical mistakes! (#11)

St Murad has been going through a number of mistakes in the translations of the Qur'an into English, and he introduces another 4, this time definite grammatical mistakes. 30) Surah 91:5 - Here, in the phrase "and the sky and whatever it has built" the translators have taken the word "Wamaa" and translated it as "the one", or "he", or "him" who has built, instead of the correct word "whatever" has built. It's obvious that Allah doesn't create the heavens with 'whatever', so they have included a personality to help this grammatical error. 31) Surah 4:105 - For this verse the translators have written "do not be for the deceitful an advocate". The word in Arabic "Haseem'" the translators have suggested is "advocate". Yet, 'haseem' means 'an adversary' or 'one in opposition' in Arabic. But that would be theologically embarrassing, so they change it for 'advocate' instead. In Surah 16:4 and Surah 36:77 the same word 'haseem' is used, and in both of these cases the translators correctly translate it as 'an adversary' or 'one in opposition', so that are not being consistent, because in Surah 4:105 the Qur'an has made a gross mistake. 32) Surah 45:8 - In this verse the word "basheer" which is used in the Bible often means "Good News". At times some translators render this word as "good news", which is correct. At other times translators render it as "give tidings", which is not quite correct. Then another group of translators render this word "announce", which is just not correct. 33) Surah 24:31 - The word in this verse is "tifli" which must be translated as "child". But the whole context of this verse is referring to a plural entity, so the translators render it as "children" which makes it grammatically correct. It is obvious that whomever wrote this verse made a grammatical mistake. The translators believe that the Qur'an is without error, since it is eternal (See Surah 85:21-22), so there can be no grammatical mistakes in the Qur'an. That is why the translators tried to help Allah out by translating this word in the plural tense, so that it agrees with the rest of the verse. What the translators should have done is put a footnote at that place to notify the reader that the word "tifli" really means 'child' but the translators corrected it to 'children'. We do that with the Bible, so should Muslims do the same with their Qur'an. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics & Polemics - US, 2024 (111,050) Music: "Country Girl" by aleksound, from filmmusic-io
