Quote: {16:101} And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and God is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muhammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know. Excellent translation. Quote: {16:102} Say, [O Muhammad], "The Pure Spirit has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make firm those who believe and as guidance and good tidings to the Muslims." I suggest, {16:102} Say, "The spirit of holiness brought it down from your Lord in truth to affirm those who have believed and as guidance and good tidings to the Muslims." |

How about, {16:101} And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and God is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You [, O Muhammad,] are but an inventor [of lies]." Nay, most of them do not know. |

Nay, most of them do not know. That will do it. I'm revisiting this verse after an extensive study of abrogation. Pro-abrogation scholars have often cited this verse as evidence supporting the abrogation doctrine. I'm now convinced that the word آية in this verse refers to scriptures. Consider these earlier verses from this Chapter that set this theme, Thus, I'd like to change my suggested translation to this, which linguistically is more accurate, since the word آية means a sign, and it is used to refer to a verse because every verse is a sign from God, {16:101} And when We substitute a sign in place of a sign - and God is best Knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You [, O Muhammad,] are but a fabricator." Nay, most of them do not know. |
