Success attained at the expense of honesty is worse than the most bitter failure. People who disregard this principle befriend dishonesty while trying to achieve their goals. Sadly enough, some modern Islamic scholars and commentators derive their power from dishonesty and fabricate pseudo-miracles from the Qur’an to fool and mislead people. In order to win the favor of Muslim crowds who are programmed to believe in the supposed miraculous content and nature of the Islamic scripture and thus gain some material benefits, these kinds of scholars and writers with no fear or hesitation pervert their own scripture through misinterpretation. Their misinterpretation mostly stems from the ignorance of the original context of a verse and its isolation from other thematically associated verses. In a few cases, the peculiarities of Arabic grammar are also ignored and concealed so that people who have no knowledge of Arabic language can be easily convinced of the truth of a miracle claim.

While trying to stigmatize the Jews of Arabia by designating them as treacherous and unreliable people, Muhammad chose to accuse them of distorting the scripture through misinterpretation (Surah 2:75, Surah 3:78). Interestingly, today’s modern Islamic propagandists and writers do the very same thing with their own scripture: they read and understand the Qur’an, but distort its meaning to invent pseudo-miracles for the sake of Islam and some other personal interests. In any case, they disregard honesty and serve the father of lies (John 8:44).
