** Note 004:052. Our Commentaries give reasons why some Translations on the market confuse readers and thwart their grasping the real message. In Commentaries like Translations With Inaccuracies, Translations With Grammar Violated and others, we have shown many of those inconsistencies found in such publications.
One author who we believe never intended to err nevertheless translated as follows.
The words الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا mean those who disbelieved but he translated them as follows. — In the verse 004:052 as “the disbelievers” — In the verse 004:057 as “those who disbelieve”
The phrase الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا means those who had believed but he translated it as follows. — In the verse 004:052 as “those who believe” — In the verse 004:058 as “those who have believed” — In the verse 004:060 as “ye who believe” like many authors did.
