I was drawn to Islam by listening to the Quran in Arabic though I don’t understand or speak Arabic and now I’m reading the Clear Quran Edition and I’ve taken my Shahada Praise and Glory to Allah

Is it true that you believe in a book of fair tales? You have talking trees, talking ants, magic rings, bird General Al hudhud and it's bird army, magic carpets, dead standing for a year, dogs guarding sleepers and so on. This sounds like 1001 Arabian nights. Please prove me wrong by showing that just one of these fairy tales is true? Just tell me where I can find the Gog and Magog people and the wall that they are behind? This wall was bulit by a man, we should be able to se it. If it is hidden, show me the verse in the Quran? Your hadith say that there are 999 of them for every believer, they have horses, and they will fire arrows on the day of judgment on mecca. Your hadith say 999 of these kafirs will take on each muslim's sins on judgement day. If there are 1 billion believers, there are 1 trillion gog and magog and their horses. Why can't anybody find the wall/dam or the gog and magog except in a book of fairy tales??

I'm from West London. This is the best translation I've seen in 30 years. Bravo. You have made the Quran accessible to many non Arabic speakers. Alhamdu lilah

[@KyaSaj-mq6wn]

Where can I get it please

[@soniabenhamed8549]

@@KyaSaj-mq6wn I live in the UK and I got it from eBay. It's called "The Clear Qur'an" by Mustafa Khattab. I bought hard cover Arabic Qur'an with English translation.

[@hassanfarnaz1169]

All my life I had been looking for a Quran translation that would hold my focus but was not able to. Most of them were too literal and I could not connect. Recently I came across The Clear Quran, which is in simple, everyday language . I feel it is the best English translation of the Quran. I highly recommend it for those who have been struggling like me. My only regret is that I wish I had found it earlier.

[@ThatCanadianBrother]

I haven't watched it in full yet, but I know this is going to be a great interview! Let me tell you a few more things about Sh. Mustafa Khattab that may not have been mentioned in the interview: (1) He is one of the nicest and most humble imams that you will ever meet. (2) He is courageous, which is why he trades his regular clothes for an "iERA Canada" sweatshirt every weekend and heads to downtown Toronto to do street da'wah; that is not a role or terrain that you see many imams willing or able to step into. (3) He is one of the most sought after imams for performing nikaahs in the Greater Toronto Area. (4) His bayaans are full of humor and even at the nikaah ceremonies he will always have the audience chuckling. (5) He has a database of jokes that he custom-tailors for his audience-- ie. Arab jokes, desi jokes for the Indo-Pak audience, etc. (6) He has written a 200+ page book on the Nation of Islam (which I think is basically an expanded form of his PhD dissertation); it is not mass-published and so it is very difficult and expensive to get a hold of, but I hope to one day read it! May Allah s.w.t. bless the Shaykh and preserve him.

[@KyaSaj-mq6wn]

Abu Bakr reported that a man was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and someone praised him. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Woe to you! You have cut off the head of your companion!" and he repeated that several times. He went on, "If one of you must praise someone, he should say, 'I consider that so-and-so is such-and-such.' Allah is the One who will take account of him if he thinks that he is indeed like that, No one can appropriate Allah's right to attest to someone's character." Al Bukhari

[@MoroccanARROWS]

I'm soooooo honoured to put a face to a name ! Baraka-llahu fika wa fi tallatika ya Doctor. Even if I am mainly an Arabic learner, lately, I found myself attached to English contents (and even in need to give modest Da'awah with the little knowledge I have subhanAllah!). As a layperson, I used Sahih International and Abdul Haleem translations for a short period then I discovered The Clear Quran (I just learned from the video that my discovering coincided with the launching time subhanAllah !!!) which became my main Quran translation jazakum-llahu khayra wa thaqqala bihi mizana hassanatikum. And may Allah bless your time and knowledge and health and all what you need to accomplish the current and future projects and make The ummah benefit from them.. Ameen. So far, I used it only on my Quran application, but I'd love to get it in paper form one day inshaAllah.. Thank you so much OnePath Network for such a blessed interview. Much love to all of you from Morocco,

@@00l80 Even as Arabs that speak Arabic we cannot fully understand the meaning of the Qur'an. The Qur'an is in Fusha Classical Arabic and even Arabs cannot understand this without learning this type of Arabic in a formal education facility. As Arabs we may know the vocabulary but the rules of the Arabic language, it's poetry and it's sciences require a high level of studies. That is why we have something called tafseer, tafseer explains the Qur'an using the context of the verse (who it was revealed for, what is the reason the verse was revealed, when was it revealed, where was it revealed e.t.c.) Using these types of historical documentations the mufassireen translate the Qur'an into clear sentences, for all of us to understand. Arabic language us laymen understand.
