    peace Mohamed, I agree with you. As a side note you may be interested to learn of the controversy surrounding translation of 2217 in traditional sources
    http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/meaning-masjid-al-haram-Quran.html analysis, and references this article.

    It is a rarely discussed issue.

    All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

      peace,

      What is the difference between ism and alqaab?
      FM translation of 4911 made both as the same!
      I think ism = name and alqaab = insulting nickname(s)

      from 4911,
      "...Nor shall you mock one another, or call each other names; miserable indeed is the name of wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors."

      — To the best of my current understanding (17:36). ​من الله كل خير ولله الحمد
      "O you who have attained to faith! Surrender yourselves wholly unto God ..." [2:208], [3:102]

        I wonder why we as muslims still use proper names such as moses, gabriel, pharaoh and so on.

        Isn?t it clear from Quran that their names are Musa, Jibril and Firawn?

        Please stop using names taken from other than Quran itself, especially from the books that had been twisted and edited by men.

        May ALLAH forgive us.

        Those aren't their real names though. Moses is from Moshe which is a Hebrew version of his Egyptian name which is not known - supposed to be something like Meshitihu meaning to be pulled from the water. He wasn't called Musa in real life.

        Isa spoke Aramaic so his name was something like Yeshuah or Yeshu Ha Notzri as he is in the Talmud. (Some people think Jesus is the english pronounciation of Yeshuah but Jesus is actually the anglicised version of the Greek sun god/messiah IESUS.)

        Angels don't have a nationality or language so I suppose call them what you want but whats wrong with calling people by their real names.

          37112 And We gave him the good news of the coming of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.

          Should be
          And we gave him good news of Isaac a prophet from the righteous.

          red is not in the Arabic

            Agreed. Out of curiosity, how do these types of errors make it into the translation? It seems straight forward that this shouldn't be there.

            Edit I just seen the rules of no discussion in the additional posts on the first page. My apologies for asking the follow-up question.

              Salam,

              Agreed. Out of curiosity, how do these types of errors make it into the translation? It seems straight forward that this shouldn't be there.

              Thank you. The error has been fixed.

              How do they get there? When you translate Arabic, the words give a meaning - sometimes more than just the words written - so, it is a matter of discipline and having checks/balances to make sure that only the words written are the words translated.

              This translation has gone through just over a decade of fixes whenever they are noticed - so I would say its very refined.

                Salam aleykoum,

                Your translation of verse

                556 And the stars and the trees are yielding.

                Translating l-najmu as "the stars" is a mistake in the context of this sura.

                This word also refers to the notion of "stemless plant, grass, herb", which is more correct here.

                Certainly, the term al-najm is a difficulty for commentators and translators is it "the star" or "the herbaceous plant" ? The star would be more appropriate in the context of the sun and the moon, quoted in the previous member (5); but what relation would the star have with the tree, which follows immediately in the same verse ? The grass, on the contrary, forms a homogeneous couple of plants with the tree, in parallel with the two stars, the sun and the moon.

                God bless you.

                  The Monotheist Group (The Quran A Monotheist Translation)
                  6151 Say "Come let me recite what your Lord has made unlawful for you that you should not set up anything with Him - and do good to your parents; etc.

                  --- Analysis Unlawful/Forbidden ?

                  Verse 151 of Sura 6 is putting in place in the Medinan context. It is particularly explicit. It begins by stating what is generally translated as the divine prohibitions, ma harrama allah (2, 175). But in fact it is better to propose another translation if we judge by the content of the verse. So I propose another translation "what your Lord has decreed for you as things to respect (in fact it would be better to translate like that than the usual translation the prohibitions), mâ harrama rabbu-kum 'alay-kum". Then there is a list of things TO DO or NOT TO DO.

                      Surah Yaseen holds a profound place in the Qur'an, often regarded as the "heart" of the Qur'an due to its thematic depth and spiritual significance. Many scholars and translators have worked towards providing accurate translations of Surah Yaseen, but there are often nuances that are difficult to capture fully in any language.

                      When discussing or modifying translations, it's essential to remember the importance of accuracy and context, as the Qur'an's words carry layers of meaning that require careful consideration.

                      For a deeper understanding and authentic translation of Surah Yaseen, I recommend visiting this helpful https//suraheyaseen.com/.
