I am still a big fan of the classic Yusuf Ali translation, even though it is Shakespearian to some. Millions still read it today and get inspired by it. I think it gives the feeling of a devine message along with a beautiful prose. In my opinion it's literary masterpiece. However, I do support any genuine new attempts to make the translations more easy to understand as not everyone is well versed in classical literature. Thanks for the interview, enjoyed it. 👍

I thought I understood something of the Quran until I listend to the very first lesson of Tafsir with a qualified teacher. The Quran arabic and level of nuance is outstanding and I can see why those Arabs who were living at the time could not replicate it not since.

This is the one I'm listening to right now by Asrar Rashid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXmzpYx_m6uVnbc There is so much meaning in phrases and words and I recently learned of the Souls journey. That's is creation, insertion into a worldly body, removal I.e. death and then entering the realm of waiting then entering heaven or hell. Please invite Asrar Rahid if possible on the issue of Diseases of the heart or pehaps a talk on his recently published book Navigating the end of times.

[@sahibmustaqim]

As-salamu alaykum, Paul. I listened to this episode when researching the concept of thematic translation of the Qur'an, and I enjoyed it, as I did many of your other blogs. Without going into translation theory, I would like to point out that there are three concepts which should not be mixed up: the register used for the translation (e.g. simple, scholarly, scientific language etc., depending on target audience), interpretative translation (a good translation does not have to be literal, but when it is mediated by the translator's own preconceptions, this should always be indicated), and thematic translation (i.e. reorganising the text different from its original by removing versification, adding subheadings etc.). Regarding the translation of Surah Ikhlas, Br.Musharraf's choice of "father/son" is a good one but it is not correct that it is the only instance of deviating from the antiquated "beget/begotten". In my "The Wise Qur'an. The Eternal Book of Guidance into Plain English", which preceded the Majestic Quran, I use "He does not reproduce nor has been reproduced". I settled for this choice because we now also have reproduction by cloning, something not covered by the father/son idiom, and the philosophical essence of the verse is, of course, that by definition the Creator does not ever become part of His own creation.

But as for those who do not believe: there is heaviness in their ears, and it is blindness for them. These are being called from a distant place.”) Surah 41 fussilat ayah 44 from the Holy Quran the last book revealed by our Creator Allah Almighty to the last of his prophets Muhammad (peace be upon them all)

[@LagunaLeonhart]

I'm from the same region as Dr Musharraf and a majority don't regard many of this man's views as being representative of Islam and he often goes off on tangents completely unrelated to Islam but appears to come from an Islamic perspective. It's wise to take his views as simply another person who happens to be Muslim rather than any sort of authority on the subject. He likes to talk about his work history in education and as a result thinks of himself as somebody who is in a position to bridge the cultures and break barriers but his disregard for nuance and respect for his peers is what makes him seem largely ignorant and insensitive. He visited Israel despite their oppression of the Palestinians too. His translation was challenged by his peers and after accepting he would make changes to the errors he made he went further to become incredibly defensive about being told that he was wrong by his Islamic peers in a video..you can find it online. Bottom line, find better scholars to debate with. There's is a science to translating the holy Quran and there is a very concrete peer reviewed process for it to be accepted as accurate. Look up "the official verdict on the majestic Quran" on KZbin and even "Dr Musharraf's response" to the scholars. It's ignorant to think that none of the scholars over 1400 years have had the epiphany to "simplify" the holy Quran and arrogant to think that you can. The language used in even the English translations are sometimes complex to convey the closest meaning to the Arabic. The Qur'an cannot be simplified in such a manner as this man tries to do as if the world isnt educated beyond primary school. The word of Allah does not need man to simplify it for Allah's creations to understand, consider that.

[@MuhammadAli-hr1bj]

[@LagunaLeonhart]

@Mr R if you watch the video, they laid out a very comprehensive list of the errors. Many of which were pretty inexcusable whatever group you follow.

[@ashiqhaider8982]

This man Musharaf Hussain is NOT An Authority on the Quraan. This mistranslation and subsequent footnotes leave a lot to be desired.

[@ashiqhaider8982]

Musharaf Hussain is a modern day Sir Sayyid. He has violated many of the beliefs held in orthodox Islam. I have personally heard him say, it is part of his Aqidah to love the British Flag. His deviation is misleading many people especially those whose understanding of the core tenets of Islam is weak. This Pied piper is leading many honest Muslims to new levels of deviance.

[@petrospetroupetrou9653]

All religious texts seem to 'suffer' from similar problems: genuine?, authorship, date(s) of authorship, translation and interpretation. What irks me is that religious texts, supposedly divine, are given the same treatment as other historical texts. For example, words and phrases are continually re-interpreted. In the Quran humans are created from a clot of blood. But I read that it does not mean blood but some other fluid. This is confusing.

[@Rafm1236]

Subhaanallaah

[@petrospetroupetrou9653]

Once humans create collectives, inspired by whatever that may be, one can be assured that at some future time many will suffer because of these collectives.

[@mohamedsmaili297]

Our Creator Rabbuna Allah Almighty the One and only True Eternal Living God also called "The Father " by Jews and Christians says: (108. Say, “This is my way; I invite to Allah, based on clear knowledge-I and whoever follows me. Glory be to Allah; and I am not of the polytheists.” 109. We did not send before you except men, whom We inspired, from the people of the towns. Have they not roamed the earth and seen the consequences for those before them? The Home of the Hereafter is better for those who are righteous. Do you not understand? 110. Until, when the messengers have despaired, and thought that they were rejected, Our help came to them. We save whomever We will, and Our severity is not averted from the guilty people. 111. In their stories is a lesson for those who possess intelligence. This is not a fabricated tale, but a confirmation of what came before it, and a detailed explanation of all things, and guidance, and mercy for people who believe.) Surah 12 yusuf ayah 108 to 112 from the Holy Quran the last book revealed by our Creator Allah Almighty to the last of his prophets Muhammad (peace be upon them all) I pray to our One True Creator to guide us to the truth. Amen

@@adelow Tabari has one opinion that ترائب are the limbs so between the limbs is where the fluid comes from ie the center of the body. If it is Adam and Eve wouldn't that not make sense because the previous verse was speaking of the fluid? Can you tell me who thought that or what source you saw it in? Though Abdul Halim's translations seems to understand that verse as referring to birth. He has "then he emerges from between the back bone and breast bone".

[@asadhaque846]

What about Mohammed Asad " The Message of The Qur'an". Has the professor read him and analysed it, critically?

[@sparephone8228]

Best English translation of the Qur'aan is by Muhammad Asad, 'The Message of the Qur'aan'. Over 1000 pages, with footnote commentry, cross referencing with different verses and authentic ahadith to clarify some verses. The followers of fiqh, i.e. Hanafi, Shafi etc do not like Muhammad Asad because Asad condems taqlid and the poor interpretations of the Qur'aan. Sufis will not like it as Asad condems Saint worship and the idea of intercessors. Salafis will not like it because Asad does not accept everything in Muslim and Bukhari is 100% authentic. I would say Asad's tafseer is for the educated lay Muslim. The style of English is modern, though he rejects making the English so simple that it makes a mockery of the devine revelation.

[@stevedan7677]

A lot of translation errors. It's a pity that the translator doesn't manage Arabic as good as English. A bad example is the translation of Sura 17 Al-Isra´. The Arabic text on the last prophecy is understood to be in the feature, the translation uses past sentence.

[@julianhansen3717]

Paul I came across one of your video with a naive Christian on a Muslim channel. You mentioned something I wish to correct, You said Paul is lying when he mentioned in 1 Corinthians that the messiah will die and rise again in the 3rd day in accordance with the scriptures. Here’s why you’re wrong…. First Paul didn’t use the word messiah. He mentioned Christ, not messiah. Secondly if you know how prophecy works, It doesn’t always reflect a historical context rather a symbolic statement of what is to come. What matters is if the former coincide with the later in indisputable ways. Jesus mentioned that He will give the sign of Jonah in the three gospels of Luke, Mathew and Mark and most biblical scholars will accept that this is true historical statement of Jesus as it appeared in this three gospels. Mathew 12:39 But he replied to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign. Yet no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Jonah stayed three days and night and was vomited out by a fish. Jesus was crucified buried and He remained in the grave for 3 days. But Jonah and Jesus has coinciding parallels. Some will say Jonah didn’t die while he was in the fish belly therefore can’t match the prophecy but this is flawed because in our literal world no way someone can survive three days in a fish belly so he(Jonah) died in our littoral world just as Jesus did. Lastly you said the gospel writers were making things up. And you cited Matthew 2:23 And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene. But you’re wrong because you developed the habit of reading the scriptures so literal that you forgot that some words has idiomatic meanings. The word Nazareth comes from a Jewish root word “ne·ṣer” meaning branch. Same root word used in Isaiah 11:1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a “branch” from his roots shall bear fruit. Whichever scribes that wrote down the gospels knew the scriptures more than you and I, and to allude that they’re making things up especially when they draw a parallels from the Old Testament is delusional because they’re not writing to dummy audience they’re writing to ppl who already knew the scriptures. And according to scholars gospel of Mathew is specifically written for the Jews who already knew the scriptures. I therefore urge do your home work before you come out to talk about Christianity. The fact you don’t believe in it doesn’t mean you will have to misrepresent the faith.

انا لا أثق مسلم أخذ جوائز من المؤسسات الغربية،،لانهم لا يعطونها إلا بعد دراسة الشخصية و إما أن يكون عميلاً لهم أو ذو مستوى علمي ضئيل❗️،،لان هذا الشخص ، أولاً لغته العربية ضعيفة، ثانياً لا يفرق بين القرآن الذي هو بلسان عربي مبين ،وهو الذي قال عنه الله {{ ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر }} ،،ولم يقل يسرنا ترجمة هذا الشخص❗️❗️ ، يحاول تمييع القرآن لكي يرضى عنه الناس،،مثل ما تفعل الكنيسة، عوض دعوة الناس إلى الرقي إلى مستوى كلام الله، او ترك هذا العمل لمن هو أعلم منه❗️

[@julianhansen3717]

Lastly we believe Jesus to be the messiah not in the Jewish context but in the eschatological sense as the pioneer of all human salvation into the perfect kingdom of God. I saw how you’re dancing around about the crucifixion of Jesus, you demanded a historical evidences for the crucifixion and you undermined the gospels as not being historical reliable about the crucifixion. But can you provide a historical evidence according to your criteria that backed up the statement in Surah 4:157? You diverted and alluded if the Quran say it didn’t happen we have to pay attention to it because since God is the author of the Quran and God knows everything so we have to believe god’s statement in the Quran. But this is based on assumption, I mean there’s no evidence to prove that the Quran is coming from God instead there’s contrary to that. So I will challenge you to provide all the necessary evidence you can, that proves God Himself authored the Quran.

[@ahmedalotaibi4477]

His translation is very, very poor. It is clear that he lacks the basics of Arabic grammar, which depends heavily on context And the saying “father and son ” in Surat Al-Ikhlas is a bad translation may lead to a misconception , because in Arabic it does not mean that at all,

[@ahmedalotaibi4477]

The translation must be literally exact Surat Al-Ikhlas does not specify gender or shape , type of the creator, and this is one of its important miracles that is in place to respond to even those who hold Darwin’s theory, not just Christians. We should not replace the word “Strike” with something else because it’s a gesture, but how, can be explained in the Note. The claim that angels are females is an outrageous claim that cannot be supported by the Qur’an and Sunnah. moreover the responsibility was given to the man, not because of spending money on the woman only, and it is a responsibility and not an honor This responsibility, as the verse explains, is due to the difference in creation, the superiority of a man’s natural physical capabilities, and the least created natural weaknesses Generally, reader don’t like to feel tricked because it indicate we have something to hide, Tafseer even in Arabic is important to interbit any verse or word

*Allah bukanlah Roh. Menyebut Allah sebagai Roh adalah pelecehan.* Roh adalah ciptaan Allah. Dan Allah itu tidak sama dengan ciptaan Nya. Maka itu ayat dalam kitab Yohanes yang menyebut Allah sebagai Roh itu tak mungkin firman Allah, tapi ayat karangan dan kreasi tangan-tangan kotor manusia. Maka itu kata "Roh Allah" harus difahami sebagai "Roh dari Allah". Dan terkait ayat tentang penciptaan Yesus juga sama. "Roh Allah" yang dimaksud dalam ayat itu harus difahami sebagai "Roh dari Allah." Maka kasian sekali kepada orang Kristen, ketika bahkan yang sudah terdidik jadi dokter pun secara spiritual bisa begitu dungunya, sehingga tak mampu memahami bahwa ayat kitab Yohanes 1:1 : "Pada mulanya adalah firman. Firman itu bersama Allah. Dan firman itu adalah Allah." itu adalah ayat palsu yang sebenarnya adalah karya sastra karangan Philo yang sudah ada sejak jaman Yesus yang awalnya dikutip sebagai bagian dari pra kata kitab Yohanes itu akhirnya disusupkan atau disisipkan sebagai ayat dan bagian dari isi kitab Yohanes itu sendiri. Padahal jelas jelas itu bukan firman Allah kepada Yesus. Atau kalau Paulus mau dianggap sebagai nabi, maka kalimat itu juga bukan pula ayat firman Tuhan kepada Paulus. Jadi sebenarnya proses penyusupan kalimat karya sastra dari penyairi Philo itu ke dalam kitab Yohanes sangat amat memalukan sekali. Belum lagi kalau kita sadari kerusakan logikanya: perhatikan kalimat setara berikut ini 1. Mulanya adalah kadal. Kadal itu bersama Buaya. Kadal itu adalah Buaya. Logika nya di mana? Sedangkan bagi orang waras, suatu kitab pedoman itu tak mungkin tak masuk akal dan tak bisa difahami oleh orang yang dituju. Kecuali memang ada yang tak beres dengan ajaran , aturan atau pedoman itu. 2. Bahwa memang benar Allah menciptakan segala sesuatu dengan berucap, dan berucap bagi Allah itu disebut berfirman. Menciptakan apapun Allah akan berfirman, "Jadilah..., maka jadilah ia." Begitulah. Dan firman Allah yg paling awal menurut Alkitab adalah firman untuk menciptakan alam semesta. Baca Kitab Kejadian. Jadi bukan firman untuk penciptaan nabi Isa putra Maryam alias Yesus. Pun bukan andai Yesus dianggap beda dengan nabi Isa putera Maryam. Sebab penciptaan Yesus itu baru terjadi pada saat perawan Maria berusia sekitar 15 tahun saat sudah dilamar oleh Joseph si tukang kayu yang kala itu usianya sudah 90 tahun lebih. (Hussshh... Jangan bilang-bilang kalau Bunda Maria yang kalian anggap Mama Tuhan Yesus itu adalah pecinta Pedophile berusia 90 tahun lebih atau 2x usia nabi Muhammad saat menikahi Aisyah). Jelas penciptaan Yesus bukan firman Allah yang pertama. Bahkan bukan yang ke seratus atau ke seratus ribu, tapi mungkin firman yang ke sekian puluh milyar. Sebab setelah menciptakan alam semesta, Allah menciptakan banyak makhluk hidup dan tak hidup bahkan telah menciptakan mungkin milyaran manusia sebelum menciptakan Yesus dengan mentakdirkan perawan Maria untuk hamil tanpa ayah. 3. Sebenarnya, Yesus dan juga Roh yang sebenarnya lebih tepat diterjemahkan Hantu, karena berasal dari kata bahasa Inggris "Ghost" itu, keduanya tak layak dijadikan Tuhan. Sebab Tuhan itu adalah pencipta dan pencipta pastilah eksistensi atau keberadaan nya adalah yang paling awal. Segala sesuatu yang ada sesudah adanya sesuatu yang lain, pastilah ciptaan. Dan itu mmbuat nya mustahil jadi Tuhan. Apalagi syarat ketuhanan tak hanya itu saja tapi masih ada 4 syarat lainnya. Silakan baca : Quran surat Al Ikhlas dan Al Fatihah. 4. Juga ngawur untuk menyimpulkan seolah Yesus itu adalah Roh Allah. Sebab Allah berbeda dengan semua makhluk atau ciptaan Nya, dan roh itu adalah ciptaan/makhluk Allah. Yang betul adalah Yesus itu dihidupkan dengan "Roh Allah" itu harus difahami sbg "Roh (dari) Allah." Dan semua manusia bahkan semua makhluk hidup, Allah ciptakan dengan diberi daya hidup berupa "Roh dari Allah." Agar menjadi jelas sebagai mana bisa di baca di ayat-ayat tentang penciptaan Yesus atau Nabi Isa putra Maryam a.s. bahwa keistimewaan dalam penciptaan Yesus itu bukan pada aspek Roh nya tapi dalam aspek "ketidak adaan peran laki-laki (ayah) biologis." Titik! Meski bagi orang yang (masih mau) percaya pada kesucian dan kebenaran Bible sebagai kitab suci, bila dia mau benar-benar meneliti isi kitabnya, sejatinya faktor ketiadaan aspek peran ayah biologis itupun ternyata tidak khusus hanya pada proses penciptaan Yesus saja, sebab disebutkan bahwa Melvisidek juga terlahir tanpa ayah, bahkan sama seperti nabi Adam, itu tanpa Ibu juga. Super spesial, bukan? Tapi lebih aneh lagi, mengapa Melvisidek yang sifat²nya lebih spesial dari Yesus dan tidak pernah ngaku sebagai manusia biasa dan sekedar utusan Tuhan seperti yg dilakukan oleh Yesus, sehingga logika nya, Melvisidek lebih layak untuk dianggap sebagai Tuhan juga. Bahkan Tuhan yang lebih hebat atau lebih besar. Ya, mereka berdua, Adam dan Melvisidek harusnya diangkat jadi Tuhan juga. Lagi pula, mereka yang sudah bisa menerima 3 Tuhan, apa masalahnya untuk menambah 2 Tuhan lagi, sehingga jadi 5 Tuhan. Atau sekalian saja 6 Tuhan agar kalian yang Kristen Katolik tak perlu lagi menyembah Bunda Maria secara mufanik atau sembunyi-sembunyi lagi. He he he... Sama dengan kalimat tadi, kalimat "Hidup kita adalah *karunia Allah.*" Itu harus difahami sebagai *"Karunia dari Allah"*. Titik.

ADDRESSED TO DR. MUSHARRAF HUSSAIN OBE 2009 - I have experienced “COMMUNITY” here in the UK as meaning EXCLUSIVELY TRIBAL (RACIST) - AND MAINLY PUNJABI! Dr Musharraf Hussain is dead wrong in his interpretation of the rendered meaning or translation of يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَلِدْ لَمْ - Lam yalid walam yooladu"- God neither begets nor is He begotten". It is all about GOD REPRODUCING HIS KIND AND BEING HIMSELF THE PRODUCT OF SUCH A REPRODUCTION akin to human sexual reproduction as was and still is the case in many religions, literally or metaphorically. Dr. Hussain’s reduction of the versified style (“a disservice”, he claims) rendering to a “paragraphised” rendering (emanating from his unique genius mind!) is definitely NOT the best style in which to translate or render the meaning of any Holy Text. There is nothing wrong with a thematic review paraphrasing the Holy text in “plain” English, and I am sure Dr. Musharraf Hussain’s “translation” would prove very interesting, but I can already see the ugliness of his style and his boasting to be completely out of place! He will obviously please his tribe, his Sect, but not mainstream Muslims worldwide. Even the print layout quality of his book is repulsive to my personal taste! I agree with him that the English language is evolving and the older renderings or translations of the Holy Book need to be updated by a team of scholars, but I would never trust one OBE, a decorated Slave of Empire, to do that correctly. Dr. Musharraf Hussain’s rendering of “Verse” 3 of Surah Ikhlas proves my point. “Every day English” is not Queen’s or BBC English, but popular street and market place English, slang, cockney, Jamaican, African, West Indian, Indian, LHBTQ+, TRANS, or whatever, and definitely not the language to transmit a Sacred Text. He removes the terms beget and begotten, and replaced them with “Father” and “Son” - “He is not a father nor a son”? Feminists will obviously hate this! The old renderings do not “INSULT THE MODERN READER”, as Dr. Hussain claims, because efforts have never stopped in their updating! My old acquaintance Imâm Muhammad al-‘Asi of Washington D.C. (former member of Dr. Kalim Siddiqui’s Majlis as Shura fi Britanya, commonly known as The Muslim Parliament of Great Britain) started publishing “The Ascendant Qur'an: Realigning Man to the Divine Power Culture.” His mother-tongue is Arabic and one who will never obtain any OBE or even an OSWH (Order of Saudi Wahhabi Heresy). His efforts reached some 14 volumes, which I expected to be the best rendering of the Holy Text ever to be made, but I decided not to buy any of them because I was already fed up with all existing “translations” and renderings, the good, the bad, and the crappy. I am even repulsed by Dr. Musharraf Hussain’s title itself: “MAJESTIC QUR’AN” when the original Arabic itself is absent in there! Others before him used the word “NOBLE”! God made the Qur’an easy to understand, but no non Arab speaking Muslim ever understood it until “Punjabi” OBE Hussain appeared in the UK? Question 1: Why does Dr. Hussain translate Baqarah by COW? I always understood it was about the Golden CALF worshipped by the Children of Israel? Question 2: Why does he show ARABIA on a map and call it SAUDI Arabia? Is he a Wahhabi (Crypto-Jewish) too? Question 3: Older translations make the Qur’aan “OUTDATED”? Question 4: His “majestic” book is NOT A TRANSLATION OF THE QUR’AN IN PLAIN ENGLISH, but just a thematic review of its contents? True or false? BAFS Tuesday 19 July 2022

[@moonmun7482]

Most of translation either use Al Baqarah is The Cow or The Heifer, and I have never seen translator use the term Golden Calf... Btw, according to you what is best rendering of quran that very accessible to anyone. I look on The Ascendant Quran its not that easly accessible 😢

[@ameenmakanvand868]

The only explanation of verse 4:34 that makes sense to me is the one that asserts that God is speaking not to “men” or “husbands”, but to the entire Muslim community. This is because the very next verse says “and if you fear a breach between the two, then appoint an arbiter from his people and an arbiter from her people. If they desire reconciliation, God will bring about agreement between them. Truly God is Knowing, Aware.” Now if God where specifically addressing husbands or men, it would make no sense for the next verse to address fear of a breach between another couple unless the husband in question had the power of astral projection and would then refer to himself in 3rd person. Otherwise my understanding is that the aim of the verse is to root out sexual impropriety from society by using gradual punishments described in verse 4:15 and Surah 24. However I do not believe that it gives husbands the authority to beat their wives, no matter how “lightly” the beating will be, because it puts complete authority of this issue in the hands of the husbands alone, while other verses of the Quran reprimand husbands who accuse their wives without producing four witnesses, namely 24:6. This is the only interpretation of verse 4:34 that actually seems thoroughly consistent with itself. I believe both Dr. Shabir Ally and Khaled Abu Fadl hold this view. Therefore I believe that the issue with that verse is not a mistranslation but rather a misreading.

Hey Brother Paul , I have a request. Could you invite Dr Jordan Peterson and Sh. Abdal Hakim Murad for a joint discussion on Islam and Christianity. A conversation about The Commonality and the context where Christianity and Islam become as it is today in popular imagination. The History and politics of it. I appreciate the Great Content in this podcast. Allah Bless your heart . Assalamualaikum.

Current Quran translations don't do it justice. The original Arabic script is exceptionally eloquent, truly divine-like in quality. I consume plenty literature - I'm a big fan of poetry - and nothing in English even compares...

English has not significantly moved on when it comes to translating the Qur'an in the last hundred years. With all due respect to the Dr (I kind of know him, he's a great guy) he's not an expert in Arabic or English. Vercification is a great way to translate the Qur'an. If vercification is not good, why should paragraphing be any better? Is the Qur'an written in paragraphs? Next someone will say we need a Qur'an in the language of the youth today (texting). As follows: I gona bcus 4y lol bruv...

[@moonmun7482]

I think vericification is okay, and also paragraph-like is also okay in terms of the layout of the translation. But must We know that the Quran revealed to Prophet Muhammad in Gradually in his life time being a prophet.. So example when Prophet Muhammad is experiencing a problems or difficulties about a matter, so that are some verses of the Qur'an had to be revealed, at least there are more than one to five in one context of revealed the ayah.. That's why If we follow the context of the revealed of the verse then it will be like a paragraph that one verse will still continue to another verse and it is still in one context and better to write in paragraph. So that's why in learning the Quran we also learn the asbab Un nuzul (the cause of that ayah revealed)

[@petrospetroupetrou9653]

God would have no need of prophets, angels, churches/mosques , clerics, books and teachers continually teaching and prosyletizing day after day, year after year, a religion. If the cosmos was the creation of a God why all this? Teaching and spreading any religion seems no different to other human social and political affairs and disciplines..... followers merely see it as something divine.

Our Creator Rabbuna Allah Almighty the One and only True Eternal Living God also called "The Father " by Jews and Christians says: (60. Had We willed, We would have made of you angels to be successors on earth.) Surah 43 az-zukhruf ayah 60 from the Holy Quran the last book revealed by our Creator Allah Almighty to the last of his prophets Muhammad (peace be upon them all). I pray to our One True Creator to guide us and our families and our brothers and sisters from Adam and Eve (peace be upon them both) to the truth. Ameen

[@aminaahmad8328]

This reader-friendly translation approach is a very good idea because even though English is commonly spoken in the “colonised” world of Islam, it is only a very basic understanding of English. I have many “highly-educated” friends like doctors and engineers who do not understand Muhammad Asad’s translation simply based on vocabulary. Today, the newer generation of people are not raised as “readers of profound, classic literature” hence the common complaint among western readers that the Quran I.e. translation is hard to understand. JZK and may Allah swt accept your and Paul’s effort and dedication to spread the message of the Quran.
