General Discussions / Translation error?

Salam everyone

[18:27] You shall recite what is revealed to you of your Lord's scripture. Nothing shall abrogate His words, and you shall not find any other source beside it.  (RK's translation)

   AND CONVEY [to the world] whatever has been revealed to thee of thy Sustainer's writ. There is nothing that could alter His words; 35  and thou canst find no refuge other than with Him. (Asad's translation)

I have checked other translations as well but only RK's translation says "not to find any other source beside it (Quran)" where as the rest of translations speak about not finding any helper other than Lord. Anyone who knows Arabic point out the mistranslation please, thank you.

Discussions / No free will?

Salam, how do you actually define free will? Lets assume you are provided with pork, chicken and whiskey and you are free to choose between these three. Now considering a different scenario where you can choose any of the three but people who chose pork and whiskey will be punished. How is it freedom of choice or free will when you're gonna be punished based on your choice? What I can make out from this is the fact we are being forced by God to follow his law. (For good but still we're forced)
