Or you say, “If the Book surely was sent upon us,                                                       We would have been more guided than them.”                                                              So, a clear sign has surely come to you                                                                              From your GOD and Guidance and Mercy.

Then who is more wrongful than he who belied                                                          The signs of Allah and turned away from it.                                                                    Soon we will recompense those who turn away                                                        From Our Signs the worst form of punishment                                                          Because of what they have been turning away.

See Note 006:158. The Holy Qor-aan in verse 006:158 described wrongdoers’ action with the word  يَصۡدِفُوۡنَ  which is a verb in the present tense, but translators translated it as follows.

  1. N J Dawod translated this verb in the present tense as a future prediction, i.e., they ‘will be sternly punished for their indifference.’
  2. M Muhammad Ali and M Ghulam Farid translated this verb in the present tense as if it were in the past tense, i.e., as ‘they turned away’
  3. Marmaduke Picktham translated this verb in the present tense as a noun, i.e., ‘their aversion.’
  4. M Zafrulla Khan translated this word as ‘their turning aside’ and M Sher Ali, Dr Ahmad Zidan and Muhsin Khan ‘their turning away.’

In short, the above works are no translations of the original text of the Holy Qor-aan.

The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                               006:154

 

وَاَنَّ هٰذَا صِرَاطِىۡ مُسۡتَقِيۡمًا فَاتَّبِعُوۡهُ‌ ۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوۡا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمۡ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِهٖ‌ ؕ ذٰ لِكُمۡ وَصّٰٮكُمۡ بِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُوۡنَ

 

Wa  in-na   haa-zaa   say-raa-t  ee  fa  ut-ta-bay-oo  ho

Note 096:154. This Note is like 006:153. The word وَصّٰى is in the past tense and shows that the Almighty God has already done this Act. The word  تَتَّقُوۡنَ  is in the present tense and shows that the Almighty God has established this for the human beings as a Rule of Universal Application that will come into play again and again, for all times to come. Prior act in the past tense and the lasting rule in the present tense have used the highest form of accuracy in this Divine Rule. Any translation that fails to convey this exact accuracy is a mistranslation, to say the least.

Note 006:153. The word  وَصّٰى  is in the past tense and shows that the Almighty God has already done this Act. The word  تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ  is in the present tense and shows that the Almighty God has established this for the human beings as a Rule of Universal Application that will come into play again and again, for all times to come. Prior act in the past tense and the lasting rule in the present tense have used the highest form of accuracy in this Divine Rule. Any translation that fails to convey this exact accuracy is a mistranslation, to say the least.
