So tell me, which Arabic version of the quran do you use and why that one? Or do you not even know that there are some 40 different versions of the Arabic quran we know of? Of course all these qurans were written by unknown authors. And how do you deal with all the mistakes, discrepancies, inconsistencies and contradictions in that quran as well as the approval of evil such as raping women who have been captures in battle (surah 33:50) which is adultery and wife beating (surah 4:34) as well as child marriage (surah 65:4) which means that Mohammed and his allah approved of raping little prepubescent girls. And we see that Mohammed led by example when he married a 6 year old child and then raped that child when it was just 9 years old. Clearly Mohammed disqualified himself as a prophet of GOD by the evil he perpetrated. And remember all of islam is only based what Mohammed maybe recited and how he lived. So tell me, why do you even believe that you will be with GOD in heaven on judgement day when you follow Mohammed? And do show the quran verses on which you base your belief. Remember our ONE TRUE GOD of the Bible promises every person that if they accept Jesus as their saviour and follow what Jesus commanded until they die, they will be with GOD in heaven. As Mohammed claimed to be the final prophet, surely he promised the same for people who follow Mohammed? If not where does it leave you my friend?

Since I'm a simple Christian believer, I appreciate the information about this translation of the Quran. As a Christian believer, I find the narrative style of the Gospels as very thought-provoking and inspirational. However I'm open-minded to read this new translation of the Quran because I still want to understand Islam better. Our perception of the worldviews of others is very important. Respectfully... Peace of God to all Muslims and Christians. From Florida USA.

Hello brother from Türkiye. You know, as Muslims, we believe in Jesus Christ. My wife's name is Meryem. Meryem = Maria is the name of Jesus' mother. One of my childhood friends' name is İsa. İsa is Turkish means Jesus. May Allah's peace be upon all Christians and Muslims.

@As_412 1. only Jesus showed mercy to his enemies wheras muhammad killed bad people 2. Only Jesus was persecuted for his good whereas muhammad was like Don and every Don has an end. 3. Jesus christ told to give charity and pay taxes to your government Whereas muhammad wanted more money and power so he took taxes by throwing off the rulers 4. Jesus christ didn't curse humans , he cursed the spirit ofSatan however muhammad cursed men he didnot like. 5. Jesus christ was born of Virgin Mary, so he was Holy whereas muhammad was born of sinful human nature 6. Jesus showed his love by sacrifice himself for human friendship wheras muhammad took blood of others. 7. Jesus was Holy and healed many , raised dead men showing his power of love wheras muhammad had no such power of love. 8. Jesus controlled the nature such as wind and seas wheras muhammad had no divine powers 9. Jesus was divine and Holy fasted 40 days without food and water whereas muhammad fasted intermittently 10. Jesus was raised to heaven and will come back wheras muhammad was dead.

I posted earlier that I have approximately 14 interpretations of the Qur'an and I would give my review after reading this one. I can honestly say this interpretation is by far the best I've read!!! It's made me a better Muslim, husband, father, friend, etc. I'm finally able to put the words and teachings of Allah into practice. I'm currently at sura 29 The Spider. I'm copying the verses that speak to me and putting them in a separate book. My wife ( who is a Christian Minister) has noticed a definite positive change in my demeanor and is reading the verses I'm writing. THIS IS THE QUR'AN IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Their 10 year endeavor has not been in vain. Thank you so much for the recommendation!!!

[@odayarab]

Thanks for sharing. I'm Quran enthusiast and would recommend you to read Sam Gerrans’ translation: The Quran: A Complete Revelation. He is Muslim English Scholar. Also, would recommend to interview him.

[@Jake-go2lq]

I think it would be an interesting interview.

[@Ismedeo]

Sam Gerrans wouldn't like calling him a Muslim and he does not identify himself as such. I agree with him about the flat Earth, though. But I reject his idea of Quran-only approach, as I believe that God revealed other things to the holy prophet Muhammad -according to the Quran- , such as the wisdom 62:2 and commandership of the believers 5:55 I believe that the Sunni-orthodox hadith culture that Sam Gerrans reject is filled with hypocrites/waverers from among the companions of the prophet to mislead us from his true teachings to his followers. The Quran gives us some ideas on how to identify such hypocrites/waverers (Munafiqīn). The Quran for example has condemned some of the wives of the holy prophet in the 66th chapter and compared them to the wife of Nūh and the wife of lūt. So we should take the narrations of Aisha -which the Sunni-orthodox hadith culture is hugely dependant on- with a grain of salt as she herself admitted that she lied to the prophet in several occasions. We can't really put our trust in someone who lies to the prophet. The Quran can only be approached by those purified according to 56:79 "None will touch it save those purified". The purified ones were specified in 33:33 as Ahl Al-Bait (people of the household) whom the Sunni orthodoxy and Shias both identify as Fatima, her father the holy prophet, her husband Ali, and her sons Hasan and Hussein. I personally take hadiths from these purified household members and their allies and followers, and reject -or may take with a grain of salt- the hadiths of their enemies. Aisha was an enemy of this household. She waged war against Ali whom the holy prophet said that only a munafīq (hypocrite/waverer) would hate Ali.

Thanks for sharing. I had been reading many translation. All have some issues here and there. Additionally, no translation will reflect all sides or reciting the Ayah. An example, Ayah 2/ Surah 2 which you chose: It can be read in 2 ways to translate: This is the Book no doubt, in it a guidance for those conscious of Allāh Or: This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allāh. This depends on where to pause. If you read Arabic it has 3 dots on 2 spots: It can be read: .ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ .فيه ۛ هُدًۭى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ Or: . ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًۭى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ These 2 ways cannot be presented in one translation without adding a footnote to explain. While these translations are of great value, none of themn is revelation and the researcher should research using Quran and not translation of its meanings. At the long term, we should do our best to learn Arabic. Thanks again and will see how I can get it in the US
