Cases of corrupting Quranic truth
(Misinterpreted verses)
Various Quranic verses have been badly misinterpreted. In the majority of cases, these poor interpretations were a result of the scholars attempts to uphold the teachings of "hadith". When a clear contradiction arose between a Quranic script and a "hadith", sadly the interpreters have chosen to corrupt the meaning of the Quranic verse so as to comply with the content of the "hadith"!
And if we have clear cases where the Quran is contradicted by hadith, we must wonder if it is possible that the prophet of God preached what is in contradiction to the word of God?"
The answer is that he did not! The genuine believer in the Quran will arrive at the conclusion that if there is any contradiction between hadith and Quran it is because the hadith in question is fabricated and cannot be the true words of the prophet.
Sadly many interpreters preferred to corrupt the meaning of the Quranic verses in question in order to uphold their cherished hadith at any cost!

The following are some of these many corrupt interpretation:
(To read the full details of any misinterpretation, please click on the relevant link)
1- The Duration of Hajj as per 2:197, God in His Mercy allows us to perform Hajj anytime during the 4 sacred months. This has been corrupted and limited to the first 10 days of the Arabic month of Zhu Al-Hijjah.
2- The word "Khomoorehenna" as in 24:31, the word Khimar means cover, any cover, the word Khamr is used for alcohol drinks because they cover/veil the mind. However, the corrupt interpretations have restricted the word Khimar to mean the woman"s head cover, and in the process have forced the Muslim women to cover their hair and wear highly restrictive clothes, when God did not issue such restrictions.
3- The word "Hikmah" as in 2:151, the word "Hikmah" means wisdom. The corrupt scholars know that very well but in order to establish a reference in the Quran for the hadith and Sunna of prophet Muhammad, when there is none, they claim that the word Hikmah refers to the hadith of Muhammad.
4- The Crucial Test of 39:45 In this glorious verse God gives us a true test for the purity of our religion, but sadly the scholars and interpreters have completely demolished the truth of this verse.
5- The word "shaheed" does NOT mean martyr The correct meaning of the word "Shaheed" as used by God in the Quran.
6- What is the correct meaning of the word "waredha" in 19:71?
The corrupt interpretation of this one word has led to a whole false doctrine adopted by the majority of Muslims today!

The correct meaning of the word "UMMY" as per its Quranic use.
8- Is the challenge in 2:23 related to the poetic style of the Quran?
For many centuries the Muslims have claimed that the challenge given in 2:23 is related to the poetic style of the Quran. What is the truth of such a claim?

Does the word "pair" in 51:49 refer to male and female? or does it refer to a greater arrangement?

With the corruption of this small word, a whole corrupt ritual is being practiced during the annual Hajj (Pilgrimage) but which is sadly without any Quranic legislation.

14- The corruption of 53:2-5 In these verses God confirms that the inspiration revealed to prophet Muhammad (the Quran) was truly from God and not his own invention. Sadly, the idolisers of Muhammad have twisted the meaning of God"s words to imply that EVERY word spoken by Muhammad in his life time is to be accepted as divine inspiration!

This Quranic command in 4:59 has been subject to deliberate manipulation from the Muslim preachers so as to attain an authority not authorised by God.
Was the prophet Muhammad a Law Maker besides God?
