Error regarding quote of Surah 5 verse 33-34

> The current quotation of Qur’an Surah 5:33–34 on this page contains several factual errors:

1. It merges content from Surah 5:38 ("As for the thief, male or female..."), which refers to theft, not to those who wage war or spread corruption. This is a completely different verse and legal context.

2. A key part of Surah 5:33 is missing — specifically the phrase after “exile from the land”: “That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.” This is part of the verse and should not be omitted.

3. The entire verse 5:34 is missing, which is essential to the context.

The verses should be presented in full and without alterations. Below is a faithful translation (Sahih International):

5:33 – “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.”

5:34 – “Except for those who return [repent] before you apprehend them. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”

Please revise the quote to accurately reflect the content and avoid misleading conflation or omission. Sofyan Bahamdain (talk) 22:54, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
