SCHOLAR
FINDS DISTORTIONS IN TRANSLATIONS OF QUR’AN
BY JAVED
ZAHEER
Shockingly,
to my knowledge, no scholars and experts of Islam and Holy Qur’an have
till now pointed this out. Those who must have dared must definitely have
been condemned, isolated and eliminated. This was done as a part of a
sinister conspiracy against Islam and Muslims, which even continues today.
The whole Muslim World is suffering because of this. This
was disclosed by Akhtar Sherazi, scholar and researcher, at a selected
gathering organized by Javed Yusuf, cartoonist, artist and a known
personality, at his residence in Akhtar
Sherazi claims to have spent thirty years on research on the Holy Qur’an
and during this work detected and discovered the dirty and sinister
conspiracies of the enemies of The Almighty, His holy books and the
people. I worked hard and honestly and was able to understand the facts
and realities. Anybody can understand this just by sensibly studying the
Holy Qur’an and the Arabic language and dictionary. It is just that
simple. Sherazi
said there is no need to reach the sky or bottom of the ocean to find the
truth. Everything is before us and for us. The message is for the whole
mankind and not Muslims alone. Those who researched and understood the
message have achieved great successes. The results are before us---Their
successes and our failures. All we need to do is to understand the reasons
for our failures and decline. He
said all one has to do is to find the real meanings and roots of the words
of the Holy Qur’an with the help of the Arabic language and dictionary.
Meanings of the words have been cunningly changed to confuse the people.
One has to use his common sense, mind and vision properly to understand
the true messages of the words, sentences, expressions, explanations and
commands. Akhtar
said that don’t just think or dream that being Muslims The Almighty or
His messengers will come and help us and we don’t need to do anything.
The Almighty’s message is: Help yourselves and others. We instead have
become selfish and cunning and only focus on our vested interests. For
this we even harm and destroy others. We have divided ourselves into
groups and claim that this is true Islam. This is our character and deeds
and yet we expect The Almighty to help and save us.
Sherazi
said the biggest problem is that the real messages are not reaching the
people. Most of the scholars and experts are acting like parrots and
repeating and relaying the same distorted and corrupted messages. They
claim to have full command on translations, Arabic and Holy Qur’an but
still not telling the people the facts and realities. May
be they are on the payroll of the conspirators or fearing them badly.
Also, they have made it a business and are making good money in the name
of The Almighty and don’t want the people to know the truth and stop
giving them charity, donations and so on. These can be the only reasons. Akhtar
Sherazi, in his talk, touched sensitive issues and with the help of the
Holy Qur’an explained them scientifically and grammatically. He said
that four-legged animals which ruminate and don’t have two big teeth are
halal. Animals like pig, dog and donkey don’t ruminate and are not halal.
With
the help of sketch of the cow and keeping in view translations of verse
An-Nahl (16:66) by world renowned authorities like Prof. Hamidullah,
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, R. Blachere, Dr. Maurice Bucaille, Maulana Muhammad
Junagarhi, Maulana Fateh Muhammad Jalandari, Maulana Maudoodi, Maulana
Abul Kalam Azad and Maulana Waheeduddin Khan, Sherazi explained his views
on formation of cow milk and said the formation of milk has nothing to do
with the excrement and should not be related. He said the cow has four
stomachs and the pure milk is produced in a highly scientific manner. This
is why cattle and milk have been specifically mentioned in the Quranic
verse. He
said when animals are slaughtered in Islamic way and the blood allowed to
drain out is to make sure that diseases of the blood don’t harm the
people. Seafood like fish, crab and prawn are not slaughtered because they
have no blood and also no heart. Big fishes have blood and heart and
therefore are not halal. This is the scientific reason. Similarly, birds
with two stomachs are declared halal. Those with one stomach like crow are
not halal. He
spoke about creation of the universe (Quranic Verse Sajda (32:4) and
Bible---Genesis CH.1 Verses 1-31 end and Genesis Ch.2 Verses 1-3)--- and
said that it was created in six stages. The Holy Qur’an tells us as to
how the universe and nature were formed in six stages and are controlled
and balanced by set rules and ways. He briefly touched the stages and said
everything is explained in the holy book in a very simple and scientific
manner. Sherazi
said the entire planet is being run by set rules and regulations. The
Almighty has given us a system so that all could benefit from it. We can
benefit only if we understand and follow the rules, regulations and
commands of the holy books. The Holy Qur’an contains relevant
details of all the holy books so that the whole mankind could
benefit despite distortions of facts of other books, scrolls, etc. Akhtar
Sherazi spoke about creation of Adam and explained the translation of
Verse Al-Baqarah (2:34-36). He said Jinns and angels are all nothing but
very powerful forces. These forces were worried by creation of human being
and considered themselves more powerful. The Almighty explained to them
that the human being is being given such knowledge and power which they
don’t have and can’t match. The human being will be able to control
all the forces including electricity, nuclear and other similar
discoveries and use them in the interest of the whole mankind. He
said Adam was actually only the name of a community like Bani Israel. This
is why it was called Bani Adam. Sherazi
spoke about Moses and explained translations of Quranic Verses Al-Qasas
(28:7-8), Al-Qasas (28:15) and Ash-Shu’Ara (26:64) and from
Bible---Exodus (2:5-56), Exodus (2:11) and Exodus (14-16). He said
crossing of the river was not a miracle. It was all because of low and
high tidings and has scientific explanations. Moses lived there and knew
well about the tiding and took advantage of the timing. The enemy was
trapped and destroyed. This is what Qur’an and study of the location
tells, he stated. Akhtar
Sherazi also spoke about Jesus and Mary. He explained the Quranic
translations of Verse Al-e-Imran (3:47) and As-Saff (61:6) and from
Bible---Luke (1:35), John Ch. 14 Verses (15-16) and John Ch.14 Verse (26).
He said Jesus was born as a result of marriage of Mary. She married to
break the centuries long tradition. Jesus had a father and brothers too.
He said this is what Holy Qur’an tells us. A study of the historical
facts explains all this. There are lots of distortions which have created
confusions and which must be removed. He
spoke about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as well and explained translation of
Quranic Verse Al-Ahzab (33: 50-52). He said Muhammad (PBUH) was a great
personality and his character was based on the Holy Qur’an. Attempts
were made by corrupting the translations and Hadeeths to tarnish the image
of this great person who was trusted and respected by all including the
enemies. Sherazi
said we must follow Muhammad (PBUH), Holy Qur’an and Islam instead of
being trapped by Munafiqeen posing as Mullahs. These Munafiqeen Mullahs
are putting us on the track of Mazhab-e-Mullah and showing us the path to
hell (Mullah’s paradise). They
have divided the people into various groups and are tricking and forcing
them to follow their rules, regulations and teachings. Most of their
teachings are against Islam, Holy Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Akhtar
Sherazi claims that in order to protect the innocent people he has written
the constitution of the Holy Qur’an and is preparing the right
translation of the Holy Qur’an. This is extremely essential to save the
people from the Munafiqeen Mullahs. We need to decide whom to support and
follow---Muhammad (PBUH) or Munafiqeen Mullahs. The choice is very clear.
We can reject the Munafiqeen Mullahs but definitely not Muhammad (PBUH). We
need to wage a war against the Munafiqeen Mullahs and clear the mosque and
madrasas from such cunning devils. Every Munafiqeen Mullah must be exposed
and kept away from the people. They must not be allowed to join our ranks
and harm the people and Islam. The enemies of Islam are keenly interested
in producing thousands of such Munafiqeen Mullahs and immediately give
permission to them to build madarsas and mosques from where they can hatch
conspiracies against Islam and Muslims. We need scholars and experts of
Islam but definitely not Munafiqeen, Illiterate and Cunning Mullahs.
This must remain our goal. Javed
Yusuf played an important role in organizing the meeting of Akhtar Sherazi
with the selected people including important religious personality like
Hafiz Ishtiaq Talib. This was not an easy task. Some of the people were
deadly against Akhtar Sherazi and not prepared to even see his handsome
and innocent face. Even Akhtar Sherazi was worried and prepared for the
worst including abuses and attacks. Thanks
to the sensible and conditional handling of the audience and the speaker,
nothing untoward happened. The audience was told to listen attentively to
the research work (translation) and explanations about the distortions and
confusions. Those who could not stand it were given the option of leaving
the scene quietly at any time. This worked and the hours long meeting went
very smoothly and in the friendliest manner. Those who hated Akhtar
Sherazi were greatly impressed by his talk and personality and openly
admitted that Sherazi is a very good and knowledgeable person. Even those
who did not agree with Sherazi became his friend. All congratulated
Sherazi for the successful talk and discussion. Most
of the people demanded that more meetings be held so that they can learn
more from Akhtar Sherazi, who became a hero of the audience. One
of the participants did not agree with Akhtar Sherazi on the ground that
since the advent of Islam there was surprisingly not even a single person
who could detect the corruption or give version of Akhtar Sherazi. How it
could be possible that nobody understood Arabic grammar and detected the
negative and destructive changes made? He asked: Is Akhtar Sherazi the
only person to have achieved this feat? Were all others
incompetent and incapable? Is he the only genius in the Muslim
World? Sherazi’s work, translations and interpretations need more study
to understand the depth and authenticity of his achievements. The
gathering included atheist, Ahmedis, moderate and conservative Muslims.
One of the Ahmadis said the talk was an eye-opener for him. He was shocked
the way Ahmadis were presenting and teaching the Holy Qur’an to the
followers including him. He said that now he will try to study and
understand the Holy Qur’an properly in order to really benefit from the
message of this great holy book. He was thankful to Akhtar Sherazi for
giving him new knowledge and showing him the right direction. Before
the talk began, the hosts, Javed Yusuf and Anwer Javed, served the guests
dinner comprising variety of tasty dishes. In
the end all the participants were asked to give their comments on the
proceedings. All of them praised the way the talk was conducted. Javed
Yusuf used his experience and influences to control both the speaker and
some of the participants. Many times the speaker was almost distracted
from the agenda point but Javed Yusuf quickly put him back on the track.
The audience was also asked not to distract him and avoid irrelevant
questions. Javed
Yusuf has prepared a video of the hours long discussion so that all
interested could benefit from the very interesting discussion. For

Tel # (905)479-0219. Akhtar
Sherazi is author of the famous book `The Quranic Concept of Nikah
(Wedlock) Versus Religious Prostitution.’ Safdar Agha is the editor and
Co-Writer of the book. He is considered the brain behind Sherazi. People
know very little about this mysterious figure as he is seldom seen in any
meeting or gathering. All little known about him is that he is associated
with Akhtar Sherazi. Sherazi
claims that his book is a challenge for those conspiring against Islam and
Muslims. It exposes those who distorted historical facts and realities and
negatively changed the translations of the Holy Qur’an. This
book is an eye-opener for all. The price is $19.95 USD and $28.95 CND.
Sherazi claims that this book is an effort to present the true perspective
of the Qur’an, as it was implemented in the time of Mohammad (PBUH),
with an earnest desire that it might prove to be a positive step in the
right direction, to initiate revival of the Qur’anic society. Akhtar
Sherazi is a chemical engineer. He was born in Akhtar
Sherazi has been misunderstood and even accused of trying to gain
popularity like of Salman Rushdi or planning to proclaim himself as a
prophet. He was also openly called crazy, lunatic and Satan. Some allege
that Safdar Agha and Akhtar Sherazi are a part of a sinister conspiracy
against Islam and Muslims. They are bent upon creating confusions. The
discussion of Akhtar Sherazi at Javed Yusuf residence showed no such
signs. Instead he said and was found to be a true lover of Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) and believer of The Almighty. Such discussions have become
necessary to remove all misunderstandings about him. Sherazi
says that all this is an attempt by enemies of Islam, particularly
Munafiqeen Mullahs, to condemn, isolate and eliminate him. He said that he
also has the guts to face the enemies and any challenges and is prepared
to face all threats including death but would never leave his mission of
delivering the truth to the people and exposing and defeating the
committed enemies of the people, Islam and The Almighty.
