Chapter 5: Current mis-interpretation of al-Qur’an.

However it is sad to observe how some people have exploited al-Qur’an to support their agenda. They have interpreted al-Qur’an in such a way that it coincides with their goals and provides evidence that backs their argument.

 

In this chapter, the author will Insha-Allah lists current mis-interpretation of al-Qur’an. By learning these mis-interpretations we will equip ourselves with the knowledge of true interpretation techniques.
