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.
