Page 57 - How Do The Unwise Interpret The Qur'an ?
P. 57
Examples of Misinterpretation of the Qur'an
language as the nation he has been sent to. This has always been the
case throughout history. Only such people can report the
revelation of God to the public around them completely and
perfectly. This is why the book revealed to the messenger will be
of the same language as that of the messenger himself and his
nation. There could be nothing more natural.
However, objectors argue this point in order to refrain from
religion, no matter what. Their perverse mentality has been clarified
in the Qur'an:
If We had made it a Qur'an in a foreign tongue they
would have said, 'Why have its Signs not been made
plain? What! A foreign language for an Arab?' Say: 'It
is guidance and healing for people who have faith.
Those who do not have faith have heaviness in their
ears and for them it is blindness. Such people are
being called from a very distant place.' (Surah Fussilat:
44)
It is imperative to form such unity between the prophet, his
nation and the book he presents in order to convey the divine
revelation to mankind completely and perfectly, as well as to
prevent the occurrence of any communication problems that would
hinder the establishment of sound foundations for religion.
Evidently, this does not suggest anything to the effect that other
nations will not be held accountable for the Qur'an. The meaning
and the commandments of the Qur'an can easily be interpreted and
explained in any language. As a matter of fact, that is exactly what
has taken place. This condition is not in anyway a hindrance to
learning or applying religion.
