Salam Friends,
During my study of the Qur'an, I run into a same verse translated differently by different authors. We sometimes have to stop and ask questions to understand which is the correct rendering. For example:
Which translation is correct as per history of the Jews? Did the Jews did in fact kill/slay God's prophets? What does the Bible or New Testament tell us? Or did they attempt to kill them?
2:91 When it is said to them, "Believe in God's revelations" they reply, "We believe in what was revealed to us," but they do not believe in what came afterwards, though it is the truth confirming what they already have. Say [Muhammad], "Why did you kill God's prophets in the past if you were true believers?
Or:
When it is said to them, `Believe in that (- the Qur'an) which Allah has sent down.' They say, `We believe only in that (- the Torah) which has been sent down to us.' And they deny every thing other than that (and which has since been revealed); though it (- the Qur'an) is the lasting truth and corroborates that which is already with them (in their own Scriptures). Say, `Why, then, did you seek to kill the Prophets of Allah in former times if you were (real) believers (in the former Scriptures)?
