Mustafa Khattab – Mistranslated Verses Of The Quran Surah 7067

Another ayah that is mistranslated in the Quran

in chapter 70, Surah Ma'arij, ayah 6 and

7. So

almost everyone says when they translated this ayah,

indeed they see this day, the Day of

Judgment, the final hour, they see it far

away

and we see it as close by.

So the verse does not talk about the

distance here because if you look at the

beginning of the passage in Surah Al Faraj,

it talks about a challenger,

someone who came to the Prophet

to challenge

the possibility

of an afterlife, resurrection,

the final hour, and the day of judgment.

So they were basically saying that this day

will never come, it is impossible, It will

never happen. So how come now that 4

5 verses after it says that they see

this day as coming, but it's kind of

slow, it's kind of far away, and we

see it as close by? This is not

the meaning because it basically contradicts

the beginning of the passage. The actual meaning

is

the word

means impossible. It's far away from comprehension. It

is beyond comprehension.

So they basically see the coming of the

day of judgment

as impossible.

They see this day as impossible

whereas Allah

sees this day as inevitable. It will happen,

it will come. So this is the actual

meaning of the they see it as impossible

and we see it as inevitable. This is

the right meaning. It doesn't talk about far

away, it's coming but slow, it's far away.

This is not the right meaning, and this

is the right understanding of the ayah, to

translate

bayida as impossible. Thank you.
