** Note 005:076. First this verse tells people in the present tense to see the given Signs. Then the word  يُؤۡفَكُوۡنَ   (yoe-fa-koo-n) in the present tense shows how they disregard those Signs.

It is a mistranslation to translate this word in the past tense because it implies that they did the wrong act in the past only. The fact which the Holy Qor-aan states is in the present tense and that they are doing the wrong act continually, even now.

Our Commentary Translations With Grammar Violated shows how disregarding the rules of Arabic grammar has resulted in mistranslations and colossal mistakes.

Following authors — may be unintentionally but nevertheless – have mistranslated this word in the past tense which has grave implications.

  • A Rahman Omar: ‘turned away (from the truth)’;
  • D Ahmad Zidan: ‘perverted’;
  • M Mohsin Khan & Taqi-uddin al-Hilali: ‘deluded away ‘(from the truth) [mmk, tda];
  • M Zafrulla Khan: ‘led away’ and
  • M Muhammad Ali, M M Pickthall, M Sher Ali & M Ghulam Farid: ‘turned away’ [mma, mmp, msa, mgf]

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                                 005:074

 

لَـقَدۡ كَفَرَ الَّذِيۡنَ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلٰثَةٍ‌ ۘ وَمَا مِنۡ اِلٰهٍ اِلَّاۤ اِلٰـهٌ وَّاحِدٌ  ؕ    وَاِنۡ لَّمۡ يَنۡتَهُوۡا عَمَّا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابٌ   اَ لِيۡمٌ‏

 

La-qud-ka-fa-rul-la-zee-na-qaa-loo-in-nul-laa-ha                                                                        Thaa-lay-tho-tha-laa-tha-ta                                                                                                              Wa-maa-min-elaa-hin-il-laa-elaa-hoon-waa-hid                                                                          Wa-in-lum-yun-ta-hoo-um-maa-ya-qoo-loo-na                                                                              La-ya-mus-sun-nul-la-zee-na-ka-fa-roo-min-hoom-azaa-boon-alee-m

 

Most certainly those who disbelieved had said. “Surely Allah                                    Is the third of the three.”                                                                                                            And none among gods is there except One God.                                                            And if they do not stop from what they say                                                                  Surely painful punishment will reach those who among them disbelieved.

لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ الَّذِيۡنَ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الۡمَسِيۡحُ ابۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ‌ ؕ وَقَالَ الۡمَسِيۡحُ يٰبَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ اعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبِّىۡ وَرَبَّكُمۡ‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ مَنۡ يُّشۡرِكۡ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِ الۡجَـنَّةَ وَمَاۡوٰٮهُ النَّارُ‌ ؕ وَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِيۡنَ مِنۡ اَنۡصَارٍ

Wa  qaa-la  ul-ma-se-ho  yaa  ba-ni  iss-ra-ee-la                                                                             Au-bo-do  ol-laa-ha  rub-bee  wa  rub-bo  koom                                                                              In-na  hoo  mun  yoosh-rik  bay  il-laa-hay                                                                                   Fa  qud  hur-ra-ma  ul-laa-ho  alai  hay  il-jun-na-ta                                                                    Wa  mau-waa-ho  on-naa-r

Wa  maa  lay  iz-zaa-lay-me-na  min  un-saa-r

 

Most certainly those who disbelieved had said, “Surely Allah                                    He is the Messiah son of Mary.”

And the Messiah said, “ Listen the sons of Israel!                                              Worship Allah, my God and your God.                                                                                Anyone who sets up partners with Allah                                                                              Then knows that Allah surely has prohibited to him the paradise.                          And the fire is his abode.”                           

And none among helpers are for the wrongdoers.

  • اَنۡصَارٍ    Un-saar — Helpers (= n., pl., The word is used for the bad like accomplices back-benchers, henchmen and partners in crime and grime [as stated in 002:271] and the good like aides, assistants, promoters and supporters – [as stated in 003:053,  005:073. A/t/a, ‘helpers,’ ‘no one to help’ and ‘shall help’)

 

** Note 005:073. This verse has used twice the word  قَدۡ  (qud) and twice the word  اِنَّ (in-na). Both these words have similar meanings such as certainly, surely, indeed, etc.

The emphasis repeated four times in one verse shows the significance of its message. Accurately translating this verse requires that the said significance is also repeated

A reader of English literature may find such repetition a bit unusual. But the importance of the message emphasized four times in one verse merits that it must be conveyed.

We certainly took a pledge from the children of Israel                                                  And sent messengers to them.                                                                                                Every time a messenger came to them                                                                                  That their hearts did not like                                                                                                    One group belied then.

  • كُلَّمَا — Kool-la-maa — Every time (= This is a combination of two words. The first word كُلٌّ  means ‘all, altogether, each and everyone, entirely,  everyone, everything, totally, without exception or wholly’. The second word  مَا  means ‘all that, any time, at such time; when; whenever, what, whatever.’ Joined together  كُلَّمَا  means “every single time without any exception, as often as, as soon as; no sooner than.” A/t/a, ‘Every time,’  ‘whenever’ and ‘As often as’)

A/t/a, ‘some,’ ‘some (of these),’ ‘some (of them),’ ‘they,’ ‘either’ and ‘a group of them’)

  • يَّقۡتُلُوۡنَ — Yuq-to-loon — Persecuting (= v., pres., pl., 3rd person. They condemn, fight, harm, hurt, oppose, oppress menacingly and unjustly. Historically no prophet including Jesus Christ has been successfully executed and so the best translation is persecuting or trying to kill. Only some contexts justify a translation to commit, carnage, massacre, mayhem, murder, slaughter or even kill or slay as shown in Commentary titled as Jihad – Is It Fighting. A/t/a, ‘they (Go so far as to) slay’ correctly as a verb in the present tense. But they ‘sought to slay him,’ ‘sought to kill,’ ‘slew,’  ‘(even) sought to kill’ and ‘killed’ in a verb in the past tense is no translation of what the Holy Qor-aan has stated in a verb in the present tense. See Note 005:071 below)

 

** Note 005:071. This verse refers to two facts. Firstly, those who in the past belied their Prophets as stated in the earlier word كَذَّبُوۡا — a verb in the past tense. Secondly, those who at the present time are persecuting them as stated in the latter word  يَّقۡتُلُوۡنَ  – a verb in the present tense.

What is stated in a verb in the past tense is different from that in the present tense. Our Commentary Translations With Grammar Violated highlights that difference. But some authors like the following mistranslated the Holy Qor-aan by ignoring that difference.

  • D Ahmad Zidan: ‘slew’
  • M Mohsin Khan & Taqi-uddin al-Hilali: ‘they killed’
  • M Muhammad Ali: ‘they (even) sought to kill’
  • M M Pickthall: ‘they slew’
  • M Sher Ali, M Ghulam Farid & A Rahman Omar: ‘they sought to kill’
  • M Zafrulla Khan; ‘they sought to slay him’
  • N J Dawood: ‘they slew him’

  اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَالَّذِيۡنَ هَادُوۡا وَالصَّابِـُٔـوۡنَ وَالنَّصٰرٰى مَنۡ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًـا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ

Surely those Believed and those who were                                                                        Jews and Sabeans and Christians                                                                                  Whoever believed in Allah and the Later Day                                                                    And acted righteously will then have no                                                                          Fear upon them.
