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.
