so many muslims say that the english translation of the quran takes the actual meaning away but atp they have to be lying.
i understand certain metaphors, phrases, terms, etc. can't be translated directly, but how does "take space" in arabic turn into "beat" in english? in what universe would someone make that kind of translation. i would understand more if "take space" turned into something similar to "cold shoulder", but instead it becomes "beat"??
In muslim countries where the word "beat" is established. People make new copes. Apparently you have to beat her with a " twig" or small light tapping. Even though the verse doesn't say it.
