Comments on: The Furqan & “The Warner”: Correcting Christoph Heger’s Misinterpretation of Qur’an 25:1 http://www.bismikaallahuma.org/archives/2005/the-furqan-the-warner-correcting-christoph-hegers-misinterpretation-of-quran-251/ The purpose of this website is to facilitate Muslim responses to the various mendacious polemics and distortions of Islam by the Christian missionaries and their anti-Islamic allies that are being spread over the Internet.

We must baseallourunderstanding on the actual text under study with an open unbiased mind. The second requirement is understanding the meanings of words as they were originally meant and understood.The equivalent words in the translations must fit in the context with a good relationship of words used and a good organization of thought exxpressed in the words. Dr Heger is completely wrong in his interpretation,probably because he may not have enough knowledge of the Quranic Arabic and itsgrammar. I think 25:1 means: " Blessed be god Who revealed the distinction ( furqaan) ( the quran or God's speech that distinguishes between truth and falsehood about God's statements of facts and guidance beleivedby men) to His servant( Prophet Mohammad) so that he may preach and warn the people." This means that the Quran advises and preaches that the people should accept the truth about God given in it and reject the statements by the people given in the Bible and the Torah in the name of God. In this way the Quran distinguishes between truth and falsehood. Liaquat Samma dear Sir

Dr Heger is completely wrong in his interpretation,probably because he may not have enough knowledge of the Quranic Arabic and itsgrammar.

I think 25:1 means:

” Blessed be god Who revealed the distinction ( furqaan) ( the quran or God’s speech that distinguishes between truth and falsehood about God’s statements of facts and guidance beleivedby men) to His servant( Prophet Mohammad) so that he may preach and warn the people.”

This means that the Quran advises and preaches that the people should accept the truth about God given in it and reject the statements by the people given in the Bible and the Torah in the name of God. In this way the Quran distinguishes between truth and falsehood.

Had the admin checked the URL he would have realized it. A little search by any search engine would easily have let him know the correct URL: http://www.christoph-heger.de/sura25_1.html Kind regards, Christoph Heger Dear Sir/Madam,
