We have confined most of the vibrant words of the Book Quran with the Biblical Concepts like:
Allah becomes God,
Malaikah becomes Angel,
Iblees become Satan,
Adam becomes 1st man,
Kitab becomes a physical book of 114 chapters,
Ibadat becomes worship,
Salat becomes ritual prayers,
Dua becomes begging,
Zakat becomes 2.5% annual charity,
Saum becomes 29/30 days fasting,
Hajj becomes annual pilgrimage to Mecca,
Jihad becomes holy war
Word arabiyan becomes language of Arabs,
Rasul becomes dead person buried in Madina,
Masjid Haram becomes Mosque in Mecca,
Masjid Aqsa becomes Mosque in Jerusalem,
Jannah becomes garden in Heaven,
Jahannum becomes pit of fire,
Words like Muslims, Momins, Yahood, Nasara, Mushrik, Kafir, Fasiq, Munafiq becomes communities rather than mindsets ...
There are lot of more words which need to be probe deeply in order to bring the actual message of the Quran.
