** Note 003:181. Some authors attempting to translate the Holy Qor-aan really stated the opposite of what the original text had laid out. Following are the inaccuracies in the translation of this verse by N J Dawood and some other translators.

• The word  يَبۡخَلُوۡنَ  (Yub-kha-loo-na = Behave stingy) is a verb but the author translated it as ‘misers’ like it was a noun.

• The word  اٰتٰ  (Aa-taa = Gave) is a verb but the author translated it as ‘gifts’ like it was a noun.

• The word  مِيۡرَاثُ  (Me-raa-tho = Ownership) is a noun but the author translated it as ‘will inherit’ like it was a verb.

• The word  تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ  (Tau-ma-loo-na = You do) is a verb but the author translated it as ‘all your actions’ like it was a noun.
