Examples of Misinterpretation of the Qur'an


           verses are repeated. Constant reference is made in different
           Qur'anic anecdotes, examples, and suggestions to the principles of
           religion, such as the existence and oneness of God, resignation,
           concession, the importance of praising God, the temporary nature
           of this world, gratitude and spending one's life on the path of God.
           There are even instances when a verse is repeated word for word
           in another place in the Qur'an.
              This has many plausible motives. In order to engrave essential
           subjects in the minds and hearts of people, they are repeated at

           every opportunity. Furthermore, every aspect of these vital
           subjects becomes easier to comprehend if they are covered in
           different examples and anecdotes.
              One of the well-known repetitions in the Qur'an is the verse
           "Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?" in
           Surat ar-Rahman. This verse is mentioned among the 78 verses of
           this Surah 31 times. This is a very wise repetition that provides the
           vital atmosphere to put people into a grateful and meditative state
           rather than remaining indifferent as they consider how the beauties
           of Heaven listed by God are truly magnificent favors and blessings.
           The respectful admiration and grandeur present in the heart of the
           believer strengthens with each reiteration of the verse. In this way,
           the desired feeling is delivered to the heart of the sincere and
           conscientious believer in the best possible manner.
