    Sadly has a lot of mistranslations. Pickthal, Yusuf Ali, and Monshin Khan's versions are alike, but Shakir's for some reason, has many (disturbing) mistranslations.

    For example, he translates "khimar" in 2431 to "head coverings". As if placing "head coverings" over your breasts makes sense. This is an example showing how hadith makes you a retard.

    He also translates "Ihda" in 7435 to "misfortunes", when all other versions, including Khalifa's, translates it to "signs" or "miracles".

    There are of course many others, but this is why I'm not reading Shakir's anymore. Apparently, Shakir is the only English Quran translator that either didn't know Arabic or English to well. I believer the latter is right.

    Yusuf Ali I think was an Ahmedi while Shakir seems more Salafi oriented. All of them translate verses based on Sunni interpretation regardless. Like they way the say first, then and finally beat them lightly. Something taht does not exist in the Arabic original version. They also say captives of war regarding Ma Malakat Aymanukum, also something thats does not exist in the Arabic version.

      Peace

      Even Rashad Khalifa translated MMA as slave.
      Luckily I can read Arabic, but a lot of people can't.
      Can anyone recommend a reliable translation?

      God bless

        So..the Arabic is not saying to do it in 3 steps?

        is the MMA "the right hands possess" or something like that? The verse telling you who you can have sex with. I dunno lol.

          I'm so sure the 3 steps are in the Quran ???
          MMA translated literally is right hands possess.
          They are mentioned a few times in the Quran. I think you're thinkning of the verse telling you who you can marry. Its supposedly someone who is not quite your wife so you can't have sex with her, I think. I've read too many opinions on the issue so I am not entirely sure what MMA is and can't give you a definite answer.
