Our dear "really" aka CLdwards who does not read speak or write Arabic wrote:

I am trying to figure how the author of this post doesn't understand that words in brackets are translators notes.

More disasters? Check the translation of the Basmala in Q1:1 in Sahih Internatinal

https://quran.com/1/1

"In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful"

Seriously? I will leave the translation of الرحمن (sic) and الرحيم for now

However, where would i find the words تماما or entirely and خصوصا or especially in the verse? Hint: they do not exist and what happened to the brackets? Were they also eaten by a hungry goat?

See? You need to stick to Urdu

Submitting....
