The Quran is straightforward and without crookedness

 

"An Arabic Quran, without any crookedness, that they may take heed" 39:28

The interpreters who constantly twist God's words and claim that they mean something other than the obvious and straightforward meaning, are guilty of disclaiming this fourth attribute of the Quran. The examples of this type of corruption run in the hundreds. To view some of these please go to: Misinterpreted Verses.

For now, this is one of the classic examples of such corruption:

God decreed that Hajj may be observed in the known months, which are the four months which God calls "hurum":

"Hajj shall be observed in the specified months. Whoever "farada" (sets out to observe) Hajj "feehhinna" (therein) shall refrain from sexual intercourse, misconduct and arguments throughout Hajj" 2:197

It is very clear from these Quranic words that God has decreed four whole months for the purpose of Hajj and not the first 10 days of the Islamic month of Zu Al-Hijja!

The Arabic words (Mann farada feehhinna al-Hajj) or (whoever sets out to observe Hajj therein) are self indicative. The word "farada" which means to observe or execute, comes from the word "fard" which means a religious obligation. Thus the word "farada" means to actually execute the obligation (Hajj). The word (therein) refers to the four months. Together, these two words (observe) and (therein) confirm that God has decreed for us that we may observe Hajj anytime during the four months.

However, the ulama (religious scholars) have come up with the most ridiculous excuse to twist the content of this Quranic law. In an attempt to over-rule the Quranic law and uphold their hadith and sunna, they have claimed that this verse speaks of the time 14 centuries ago when the journey of Hajj on camel and donkey backs took months to complete! They thus claim that this verse speaks of the intention of Hajj and not the actual observation of Hajj. In other words, people can prepare for their donkey and camel rides and make the intention for hajj anytime during the four months!

.

We pose here for a moment to see how their fabrications exposes their own lies.

According to their interpretation of 2:197 the four months are given to accomodate the intention of the hajj. So here we have a man who makes the intention on the first day of the four months to go to Hajj. After doing so, this man gets on his donkey and starts the trip. And as we are well reminded, in the old days the trip used to take more than a month (depending on where the person is coming from). So this man, who started his trip on the first day of the four months, arrives a month after he started his trip. When he arrives at Mecca (after one month), he would have in fact missed the hajj, which according to them can only be observed during the first ten days of the four months!

Any human being who employs any degree of common sense will immediately see the absurdity of this ridiculous interpretation of 2:197:

- Do these interpreters not realise that the Quranic law is decreed for all people and for all times, and not only for those who travelled on donkeys and camels 14 centuries ago?

- Do these interpreters not see God's deliberate use of the word "Farada" (to observe) in this verse? Do they not see the words "Feehin al-hajj" which means (whoever observes the Hajj therein) ? God did not say (whoever starts his journey therein)! the words (observe) and (therein) constitute God's clear and straightforward decree that hajj may be observed in these months, and not that the donkey journey may be started during these months!

Sadly, these so-called scholars get away with such corrupt interpretation because the majority of people are too lazy to verify the Quranic truth for themselves and in stead rely on the sholars in the belief that these scholars are to be trusted above the words of the Quran!

May we always remember that God proclaimed that the Quran is straightforward and without crookedness. Therefore, if God says that Hajj may be observed during the four months, then God means just that. God does not say (observe therein) and means (start the donkey ride)!! God does not say one thing and mean another! The reader is free to believe God or believe the twisted interpreters!
