Biased translations are to be exposed.

37102 So when he (son of Ibrahim) attained / reached the progression / the moving / the running of himself, said (Ibrahim) O My son! Indeed I am seeing in the sleep / the dream of mine that I am sacrificing (slaughter) you. So look what you are seeing. " He (son) said. "O my father! Carry out with what is commanded. God willed, you will find me from the patient ones."

37103 So then both surrendered, (to the decision of sacrifice) lowered down / kneeled down (thalla) himself (Ibrahim) towards the forehead (son).

37104 And we called out to him (Ibrahim) that O Ibrahim!

37105 You have accepted / confirmed / assured the Vision (Ru'ya)? Like such we treat / suffice / answer (Najszi) the doers of good.

37106 Indeed that was a glaring test (Balau).

37107 And we restored / restituted (fidya) him (Ibrahim) of sacrifice (BiZibh) tremendous.

Needless to elaborate further when God's verses speak truth .. But if still anyone not getting the story .. Let me explain. .
Sacrifice does occur twice in these passages.. Note that.. same sacrifice which was spoken in verse 37102 in the first place is spoken in 37107 as well. No one can have of their choice change the sacrifice of 37107 totally into something else... Having said that..
Ibrahim didn't reach the son with a sword towards his neck or he put him down on slaughtering position.. Had he done that his son would have never recovered....Allah doesn't have to wait that far for a trial(balau).. All what Ibrahim did was surrendered, it means accepted together with the son, and before executing his vision Ibrahim lowered down on his knees so that Ibrahim and his son may look equal in height and approached his son towards his forehead... Isn't there any better way to talk to a young kid when he is literally sad rather than kneel down and be face to face as an adult... So God knew this is it.. No more delay. He called out... Have you made THE Vision (only one vision) into reality.. No need to ask in a language always in question form a literal question particularly surprising or horrible etc matters, but the tone could be question form and you all know that... Don't you..

So indeed God sufficed / answered coz Ibrahim was a saliheen and cannot let him go astray to this extent... So that's why Allah says "We restored / restituted (Fidya) to normal situation by avoiding that disastrous sacrifice... Restoration is vital ... In fact it was a trial / test (Balau).. Though Satan influenced him it was a test from God... Take Balau example 7141 God says.. 'Balau min Rabbikum Adheem' (Tremendous trial from your Lord) .. Yes King Pharou was the one killing but it was a trial from the Lord .. Note well that for your evidence .. Similarly, Satan is the one influecing Ibrahim but it was a trial from Lord'..

Thank you..

7117-118 And we inspired to Musa that throw your staff. Then when it was disintegrating / splitting / crumbling (Lam Qaf Fa) what they were deluding. So (he) distinguished the truth and made falsified what they used to do.

Here thalqafu is translated by almoat everyone as swallowed but it is not.. What Musa produced with the permission of Allah was real and a real thing cannot swallow which doesn't exist.. Coz what sorcerers produced were not real and never existed.. So how to swallow them.. Thalqafu means it was disintegrating and it is an imperfect verb as well...

726 O, Children of Adam, indeed, We sent down (Anzalna) to you a fortification (libas) to subdue your disgraces/wickedness (Sawathikum), and a rectification. But fortification of the consciousness is better. That is from a sign of Allah in order that you may consider.

You can see I have used Disgrace or wickedness to the Arabic word Sawwatha (in reply #23) as well if you see my Siyam translation I have used Fortification to the word Libas..

Now, one would seriously question, what kind of clothing/raiment Allah has SENT DOWN/Anzalna to the children of Adam.. No way.. it is not the right meaning of the verse.. Every verse where ANZALNA is used has a direct meaning that something has descended from Allah to the Earth be they verses or material aspects.. But never raiment.. What raiment children of Adam in general got? Unfortunately, all translations based on their understanding are translated as material garments. But they adjusted the verse Raiment of Righteousness with the next word..

Peace jkhan.
We all go through GOD s trial and there are many phases in the journey.
Guidance is subjective and only GOD knows 100% the guided.

Seeking guidance and knowing for sure we are guided are two different things. We have to undergo a test and Only GOD Alone does the guiding not those who are guided-Think or even know for sure they are.

In reality we could think we are guided,yet pursue a line of arrogance/our own opinions and follow our ego.
GOD warns with His signs/Aayat for us to beware and keep going with sincerity and humility

Give them the news of one who was given our proofs( And verses-double meaning in my opinion-), but chose to disregard them. Consequently, the devil pursued him, until he became a strayer.
وَاتلُ عَلَيهِم نَبَأَ الَّذى ءاتَينٰهُ ءايٰتِنا فَانسَلَخَ مِنها فَأَتبَعَهُ الشَّيطٰنُ فَكانَ مِنَ الغاوينَ
Had we willed, we could have elevated him therewith, but he insisted on sticking to the ground, and pursued his own opinions-followed his ego-. Thus, he is like the dog; whether you pet him or scold him, he pants. Such is the example of people who reject our proofs(and verses). Narrate these narrations, that they may reflect.
وَلَو شِئنا لَرَفَعنٰهُ بِها وَلٰكِنَّهُ أَخلَدَ إِلَى الأَرضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوىٰهُ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الكَلبِ إِن تَحمِل عَلَيهِ يَلهَث أَو تَترُكهُ يَلهَث ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُ القَومِ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا فَاقصُصِ القَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَفَكَّرونَ
Bad indeed is the example of people who reject our proofs( and verses); it is only their own souls that they wrong.
ساءَ مَثَلًا القَومُ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا وَأَنفُسَهُم كانوا يَظلِمونَ
Whomever God guides is the truly guided one, and whomever He commits to straying, these are the losers.
مَن يَهدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ المُهتَدى وَمَن يُضلِل فَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الخٰسِرونَ

This really could apply to any of us . We could say we believe in GOD s proofs but reject other Aayats of His Book- or misunderstand them or do the wrong thing with them...etc.
The last verses is clarifying that GOD Alone guides and knows who is truly guided.
It is not necessarily all those who say they are guided. Those who think they are guided should always be wary of the ego and keep seeking GOD s guidance - one should never reach the end of this-

Now ,while I appreciate what you do and you are trying your best to find the real interpretations, there is a straight forward way. Start with a view to complete the translation of the whole Qoran.

For example , I have been trying to translate the whole Qoran for me- In the last 5 /6 years- and put it out there for people to browse/check for themselves. I am still in the process of making sure I get the right consistent approach and guidance to complete my project.

In my opinion the best way to do a translation that can be useful is to put out one s own translation of the whole text and leave it at that. People can use or refuse or... through their own effort. Or do their own- . This will allow for better comparisons . Selected verses are bits and bobs that may not show the full picture.

At the end of the day GOD is the sole guide and we can only give our views/opinions/interpretations according to our own research/faculties.
Even if one thinks they are 100% right in their interpretation, it is irrelevant and will never guide anyone else.
GOD will sort it out for each guidance seeker to find their right interpretation.
Having said that I appreciate what you do.
GOD bless you.
Peace.
