Mustafa Khattab – Commonly Mistranslated Verses Of The Quran Chapter 53 Verse 27

Welcome back.

So,

this mistake here in the, translation of the

Quran when, the translators didn't actually understand

the context of the Quran and the historical

background of the verse.

So the example here from, chapter 53

verse number 27.

So

almost everyone when they translated this verse, they

say, indeed

those who don't believe in the hereafter,

they give,

the angels female names.

And the question is, can you give me

one name of a female angel that is

used in the Quran or anywhere in the,

Islamic tradition? The answer is there's nothing.

Not a single one. If you look at

the Quran, some names are mentioned. Jibril,

Malik, and Mikael. None of them is a

female. But if we understand the historical background

at the time of the prophet

and this is something that existed for centuries

before him, the pagans of Arabia, they used

to classify the angels

as the daughters of Allah. So, they classified

them or they labeled them as females.

But they didn't give them individual female names.

So, the best translation for the aya indeed

those who disbelieve in the hereafter,

they label angels as females.
