Are they looking for anything but its explanation? The day its explanation comes Those who forgot it before that will say,
“Certainly messengers of our God had come with the Truth. So are there for us any of the intercessors So that they can intercede for us? Or we return so that we work in ways Other than that we have been working.”
Certainly they had caused loos to themselves and Lost from them was all they had been concocting.

** Note 007:054: A typical example of how some authors have mistranslated the text of the Holy Qor-aan is the following extract. NJD verbalized his view to publish his work as if it were a translation of the Holy Qor-aan. His writing on its own is quite reasonable but it is not a translation of the verse 007:054 of the Holy Qor-aan.
“(T)hose … will say: ‘Our Lord’s apostles have surely preached the truth. Will no one plead on our behalf? Could we but live our lives again, we would not do as we have done. They shall forfeit their souls, and that which they devised will fail them.’”
The above extract may qualify as a cryptic statement of the author’s view about what he thought he read. However, it is no accurate translation of the original text. Such so-called translations of the Moslem’s Scripture have often been criticized by hostile writers whose criticism as well as the underlying matter they criticize is not 100% right.
