This article shows how the Biblical writers changed the meaning of the verse John 13:16; also it gives more examples to illustrate the very common Biblical phenomenon of changing the word of God by adding Forged words. This phenomenon is never ever present in the Quran.

——————————————

The article discusses the presence of Forged Words in the Bible vs. the Quran

The presence of Forged Words in the Bible

The original Greek Manuscript of the verse John 13:16 say according to the 21st Century King James Version: “Verily, verily I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord, neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.”

This is no more than 60% correct translation of the Greek verse found in the original Manuscript.

There are four essential Greek words in John 13:16; simply they are the slave and his owner and the Sender and the sent.

These four essential Greek words are:

1) δοῦλος, it is pronounced as doulos and it means  a slave, bondman,  one who gives himself up to another’s will. The 21st Century King James Version translates it to “The servant“

2) κύριος, it is pronounced as kyrios and it means the possessor of a thing, the owner; one who has control of the person; he to whom a person or thing belongs, master, lord.  The 21st Century King James Version translates it to “lord“.

3) ἀπόστολος, it is pronounced as apostolos and it means  a messenger, one sent forth with orders, a delegate, an ambassador. The 21st Century King James Version translates it to “he that is sent“

4) πέμπω, it is pronounced as pempō and it means to order a thing to be carried to one,  to send. The 21st Century King James Version translates it to “he that sent“

Study of 35 different Bible’s versions showed the very common Biblical phenomenon that is many Bible’s versions Forged Words which are not present in the original Word of God; this could be summarized herein as:

Allah Does Not Love the Aggressors in Their Supplications

How To Call Upon Allah? Openly or in Secret; in Fear or in Hope?

Could Allah Have Created the Heavens and the Earth in an Instant Instead of Six Days?

Thorne in English and Arsh in Arabic

The Stars, the Sun, and the Moon Have Been Made Subservient by Allah’s Command

————————————————

This series is an attempt to help you to know  Allah your Creator.

Verses 7:54-56 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) Allah’s Mercy is near to the righteous,

2) Allah does not love the aggressors in their supplications,

3) How to call upon Allah? Openly or in secret; in fear or in hope?,

4) Could Allah have created the heavens and the earth in an instant instead of six days? And

5) the stars, the sun, and the moon have been made subservient by Allah’s command.

————————————————

The meaning of verses 7:54-56

The meaning of verse 7:54

Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, each day the equivalent of a thousand years. Had He willed He could have created them in an instant; but the reason for His not having done so is that He wanted to teach His creatures to be circumspect. 

Then Allah presided upon the Throne, a presiding befitting of Him.

He cloaks the night with the day, that is, He covers each one with the other: each following the other in swift pursuit, i.e. the day is in haste to follow the night and the night is in haste to follow the day,

And the sun and the moon and the stars have been made subservient, have been subdued, by His command, by His power.

His verily is all creation, the creation of the heavens and the earth (and what are between them) and His verily is all the commandments i.e. the judgment of people on the Day of Judgment.

Blessed, Magnified, be Allah, the Possessor of grace; it is also said that this means: elevated is Allah; as it is said that this means: far exalted is Allah, the Lord, the Master of the Worlds!

 

The meaning of verse 7:55

O mankind! Call upon your Lord respectfully openly and in secret.  In other words, call upon your Lord humbly, in subservience, and quietly, in secret. Truly, He does not love the aggressors, who are braggarts and loud-mouthed in their supplications.  In other words, He does not love the aggressors, in their supplications, by calling for that which is not permissible for them against the righteous.

 

The meaning of verse 7:56

And work not corruption in the land, through idolatry, sins and invitation to other than Allah and acts of disobedience, after it has been set right, as a result of the sending forth of messengers to it, and call upon Him, worship Him in fear, of His punishment and His torment, and in hope, of His mercy that you shall enter His Paradise. Surely the mercy of Allah is near to the virtuous, the obedient.  In other words, Lo! the mercy of Allah, the Paradise of Allah is nigh unto the good, the believers who are good in their words and works.

YUSUFALI:

55) Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for Allah loveth not those who trespass beyond bounds.
