Page 53 - How Do The Unwise Interpret The Qur'an ?
P. 53
Examples of Misinterpretation of the Qur'an
responsible for following its verses. These qualities make it unique
and universal. Since the other books have been changed by people
throughout history and have lost their originality, they no longer
possess these qualities. Some of the basic principles of Christianity
that are mentioned in the Bible, which is claimed to be a source of
the Qur'an have been openly rejected by the Qur'an. The most
important one is that which assumes Prophet Jesus to be the son of
God. This belief has been appraised in the Qur'an as a lie against God.
They say, 'The All-Merciful has a son.' They have
devised a monstrous thing. The heavens are all but
rent apart and the earth split open and the mountains
brought crashing down, at their ascription of a son to
the All-Merciful! It is not fitting for the All-Merciful to
have a son. There is no one in the heavens and earth
who will not come to the All-Merciful as a slave…
(Surah Maryam: 88-93)
Another such claim the Qur'an entirely opposes is the
crucifixion of the Prophet Jesus by the Jews. In the Qur'an, it is
stated that the Jews did not kill Jesus, but that is how it was made
to look, and it is added that God raised him up to Himself.
In conclusion, if we make a general comparison we will see that
the important truth the Qur'an guides human beings toward is the
Oneness of God, that there is no other deity but He and His purity
from any defects or negative attributes. These important facts are
repeated in each Qur'anic anecdote, information and verse. In the
same manner, each Qur'anic anecdote carries guidance, warning
and information.
All of these prove that the Qur'an is a divine revelation.
