Examples of Misinterpretation of the Qur'an

of history in order to evaluate and fully understand these
translations. In short, such a study will be exceedingly difficult, even
under the easier conditions of our time.
Moreover, there is no reason to think that the information we
have inherited from ancient civilizations is totally correct and
sound. Incorrect information, superstitions and twisted beliefs were
common in those ancient societies. If, as the unwise claim, the
scientific contents of the Qur'an had been gathered from the
cultures of ancient civilizations, then they should have contained the
same errors or inconsistencies. However, the Qur'an is free of all

such things. Modern science has proven that all scientific Quranic
verses are 100 percent accurate. This reality is further emphasized
in the verse, "Will they not ponder the Qur'an? If it had been
from other than God, they would have found many
inconsistencies in it." (Surat an-Nisa': 82)
This is why the argument that the Prophet Muhammad gathered
the contents of the scientific Qur'anic verses from the resources of
other civilizations is totally groundless, just like all the other claims.
The existence of people who do make such claims and the reply
that should be given to them is stated in the verse:
Those who are disbelievers say, 'This is nothing but a
lie he has invented and other people have helped him
to do it. They have brought injustice and falsehood.'
They say, 'It is myths of previous peoples which he has

had transcribed and which are read out to him in the
morning and the evening.' Say: 'The One Who sent it
down is He Who knows all hidden secrets in the
heavens and earth. He is Ever-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.' (Surat al-Furqan: 4-6)
