    I don't know why my posts in this topic are ignored, but I'll try once more with a question, maybe it can help...

    In 43 = "to be just"
    In 499 = "be equitable!"
    In 608 = "the equitable"

    But then, as active participle

    In 7214-15 = "the compromisers"

    My question is How can any word be its opposite?

    The magic of sectarian Arabic.

      Salam,

      Brother Layth hasn't been online for awhile. He's the translator of FM Quran.

        Salam,

        Make you capital in bold

        326 Say ?Our god, Possessor of kingship; you grant kingship to
        whom You please, and revoke kingship from whom You please,
        and honor whom You please, and humiliate whom You please; in
        Your hand is goodness. You are capable of all things.?

          I might be wrong but I think the author(s) (Layth?) is/are more interested in technical corrections (missing dots, capitals, misspelling, etc) then in your or my understanding of a particular word.

            Salam,

            Should hearer be capital or as it is, in bold?

            338 It was then that Zachariah implored his Lord; he said ?My Lord,
            grant me from You a good progeny. You are the hearer of prayer.?

              Salam,

              My apologies for the absence.

              I have uploaded the file with the fixes http//free-minds.org/sites/default/files/quran.pdf

              With regards to the comment of Aladin

              Qasitoon is NOT the same as Muqsiteen (it is the opposite).

              Muqsit is someone who gives equitably, Qasit is someone who takes for himself (one is good, the other is bad).

              You can see this in 7215 where God tells us that "the Qasitoon" will be the firewood of Hell.

              To maintain consistency, I have used "inequitable" for Qasitoon to make it clear as the opposite of Muqsitoon.

              Regards,

                Can you check following verse, it might be missing "earth" or "world", between bold

                1199 And they were followed by a curse in this, and on the Day of
                Resurrection. What a miserable path to follow!

                  Nothing missing. I can amend to "in this one" if it makes the verse clearer?

                      I read this verse and want to see if it can be written another way, although it's understandable this way.

                      378 And from among them is a group who twist their tongues with
                      the Book so that you may think it is from the Book, while it is not
                      from the Book, and they say it is from God while it is not from
                      God, and they say about God lies while they know.

                      To

                      378 And from among them is a group who twist the Book with their tongues so that you may think it is from the Book, while it is not
                      from the Book, and they say it is from God while it is not from
                      God, and they say about God lies while they know.

                      Is it possible?

                        I don't think it can be amended as the sequence in Arabic speaks of the tongues being twisted with the book.

                        Perhaps "And from among them is a group who twist their tongues using the Book so that you may..."?

                          Yes, that's a better translation

                                  their hearts are divided. This is because they are people who do
