Page 51 - How Do The Unwise Interpret The Qur'an ?

Examples of Misinterpretation of the Qur'an

completely to God, and so have all who follow me.'
Say to those given the Book and those who have no
Book (the Ummi), 'Have you become Muslim?' If they
become Muslim, they have been guided. If they turn
away, you are only responsible for transmission. God
sees His servants. (Surat Al 'Imran: 20)

As we can deduce from this verse, the term "Ummi" is used to
refer to people other than those who have been sent books. So it
becomes clear that the term is not used in the Qur'an with its

We have so far explained the logic behind the similarities that
exist between the Qur'an and the other altered books. However,
when a person pays enough attention he will realize that there are

the altered portions of the other divine books and how it corrects
these changes is evidence that it is, word for word, a Holy Book.
Since the previous divine books have gone through extensive
man-made changes and have lost much of their original divine
message, they contain conflicting references and logic, and are at
times the direct opposite of what is contained in the Qur'an. There
are also many variations in their anecdotes compared to Qur'anic
ones.
These books have been changed in content and logic as well as
style and composition; hence they have been turned into mystical
religious history texts rather than divine books. For instance, the
first book of the Torah, Genesis, tells the story of Children of Israel
from the beginning of creation until the death of the Prophet
