Misquoting and Mistranslating the Meaning in the Quraan

Many a time we find that people misquote and mistranslate the meaning of the Quraan. This is due to reference to weak minded and cowardly Imaams who are out to sever the ties of the relationship between us and Allah and to make ties with the Tawagheet and their own allies.

While studying them in depth, one will find many as such, however let us look at some of the lessons that we can take heed and benefit in Surah Furqan, 63-67 Allah says:

"And the ibaad ul-Rahmaan, those who …" Allah says here that not everyone is from Ibaad ul-Rahman, some people are ibaad ul-Shaytaan or Ibaad ul-Tawagheet.

"those who …" this is ishaarah, meaning that the people Allah is describing are specific and exclusive,

"… those who walk on the earth in humility …" People think that this means that they walk on the earth humble and submissive to the law of the land etc, however Ibn Abbas explained it that it is that they walk on the earth with the Shari'ah established, wherever they go, they establish Islam.

"and when the ignorant address them, they say, Peace!" People think that this means they allow the Kuffar to walk all over them, let them fight and attack and kill them while the Muslims never fight back, infact that is the not the Tafseer of this Ayah, the Sahabah understood this Ayah, that when the Kuffar rise with their kuffr, when they make legislation and shirk and spread the Fasad, we do not care we say we are Muslims, we submit and stand firm to our own Deen without to care for what the kuffar say or do!

"Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing" Allah described those slaves of Allah, that they submit to Allah and worship Him (swt) and fear Him (swt) in every matter, in every moment from the morning till the evening as if they were prostrating to Allah all day every day. In fact nobody can be in Salah all the time, but because they leave the Haraam and fear Allah in every matter it is as if they are, Aisha (ra) said:

"The messenger (saws) was never more than you in Salaah or in Fasting, but he feared Allah more than any one of you."

"Those who say, Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction that is due. Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in" They fear from the Hellfire, and they testify to how evil it is, whether it rises to burn or even when it is at its most settled, they seek refuge to even be near or over it. Allah informs us how fearing from the Hellfire will make is obedient slaves and keep us on the correct straight path.

"Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes)" Allah balanced here our lives that we are not only lost in Ibadaah, we do work for our own living, but only in Halaal, we do not make our mission to earn money and we forget the blessings of Allah, we take like the example of Umar, who when he spends on other people, or he donates, he gives without account, but when he spend for himself, he accounts and does not waste money for himself. But whatever Allah has given us we show the ni'mah and we do not hide it or pretend that Allah did not bless us.

May Allah indeed bless us all with the correct understanding of His (swt) Book - Ameen Ya Rabb!!!
