    He translated a third person masculine verb and not noun which is in ayah.

    Mazhar are you saying that English word "wrongdoer" is not a noun? Also English words used in translation, "unjust, corrupt and wicked" all are adjectives in English but are considered nouns in Arabic. Arabic has no category for words called adjectives in English, these are categorized under noun.

      Active participles (derived from verb) are nouns. And they are formed on set patterns. "Sharr" is NOT active participle which you translate "wrongdoer".

        Thanks for the red above. Please see below re-posting edited translation from above. Don't you see plural.

        But you translate making yourself blind to original text. Where is plural in original text?

          Let me edit based upon your objection/suggestion as follows, are you happy now?

          Surah 1131

          I seek protection from any authoritative mind controlling concept that brings low character. After using your rationale express,

          Surah 1132

          It has never been consistent with natural disposition to be in wrongdoing, injustice, corruption and wickedness.

          Surah 1133

          Observe carefully, as darkness of follower of wrongdoing, injustice, corruption and wickedness sets upon people.

          Surah 1134

          Then the enchanters of follower of wrongdoing, injustice, corruption and wickedness will keep putting complicating twist into it.

          Surah 1135

          Observe carefully, envied is follower of wrongdoing, injustice, corruption and wickedness as desirous.

            Still meaningless.

            from any authoritative mind controlling concept

            Are you seeking protection from it or you are seeking some protection to safeguard yourself from it.

            The thing from the harm of which you wish to be safeguarded is called "asset". If it is asset then from whom you want to have shelter/shield to protect you.

              Seeking protection from any authoritative mind controlling concept Rabb, leading to bad character/calamity Falaq, by using rationale Qul.

                Thanks Mazhar, I have further edited as follows, mainly verse number 1.

                Surah 1131

                After using your rationale express, I hate any authoritative mind controlling concept that brings low character.

                Surah 1132

                It has never been consistent with natural disposition to be in wrongdoing, injustice, corruption and wickedness.

                Surah 1133

                Observe carefully, as darkness of follower of wrongdoing, injustice, corruption and wickedness sets upon people.

                Surah 1134

                Then the enchanters of follower of wrongdoing, injustice, corruption and wickedness will keep putting complicating twist into it.

                Surah 1135

                Observe carefully, envied is follower of wrongdoing, injustice, corruption and wickedness as desirous.
