Fake Quran Verse Predicts 9/11
August 2003
This hoax message is trying to make it appear that the Qur'an predicted
the attack on 9/11. I asked a friend of mine to look up the verse for me
and they are totally unrelated. The real verse 9:11 is about repentance.
The following verse 9:11 of the Qur'an is from a translation of the
Qur'an on the University of Southern California web.
The Real verse 9:11
YUSUFALI: But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and
practise regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We
explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand. PICKTHAL: But if
they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they
your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who
have knowledge. SHAKIR: But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay
the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the
communications clear for a people who know.
The hoax verse 9:11
The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic bible)
Quran ( 9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a
fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the
lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair
still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of
Allah; and there was peace.
(Note the verse number!!!!!)
