In An-Nahl {{Quran|16|103}}, Al-Dokhan {{Quran|44|58}} and Al-Qamar {{Quran|54|22}}, [{{Quran-url-only|54|32}} 32], [{{Quran-url-only|54|40}} 40], it is emphasized that the Qur'an was revealed in straight forward, easy to understand, and pure Arabic. It would seem, this promise of preservation does not extend to the English translations, as most prominent and officially recognized interpreters like Yusuf Ali, Muhammad Asad, and "progressive" translaters like Dr. [[Rashad Khalifa]], have not honored the integrity of translation and were involved in deception in interpreting the Qur'an.
