Examples of Misinterpretation of the Qur'an
In conclusion, the discovery of the name Haman on ancient
Egyptian tablets discredited another claim made by those who
strive to find inconsistencies in the Qur'anic verses. Furthermore,
the undeniable truth that the Qur'an is revealed by God is once
again proven without any doubt as the Qur'an miraculously
conveyed historical information that could not have been found and
deciphered in the Prophet's time.

Prophet Hud was sent to the people of 'Ad (Surah Hud: 50), and
the Prophet Salih was sent to the Thamud (Surah Hud: 61) and the
flood destroyed only his people.
