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.
