Quran Translations

Lost_Philosopher

So I was at Barns and Noble today and found a couple of Qurans. There were about 7 difffirent translations and I didn't know which one was the best for me, one that is very clear in english and is just the message, some of them had what I thought was hadith at the bottom of the page.

I suggest to buy Muhammed Asad's or Ahmed Ali's. PM me your email and I can send a PDF of it to you.

I olny saw a very, one was Yusafa or something close to it and a Muhammed Muliha. These are just what I am trying to remember.

My personal favourite is the translation by M.A.S.Abdel Haleem ( http//tinyurl.com/2hjdkb ). It uses everyday English and is very easy to read and understand.

I have quite a few English translations. M.A.S.Abdel Haleem's is nice but I still prefer Muhammad Asad's. I would always recommend verification/study of any translation however, no matter which one you pick.

I only saw a very, one was Yusafa or something

i believe you're referring to abdullah yusuf ali, he was a traditional, but for a traditional his translation is not bad and its one of the most popular

are you unable to buy off the internet?

i do have an extra copy of 'the message' (free-minds' translation) but there's the trust issue otherwise i'd have been more than happy to send it to you no charge

Peace,

I personally would recomend The Message available on this site as the better English translation out there.

You can dowload the word version from this site, or the PDF version from http//proofs.iuniverse.com/0595290353/0595290353b.pdf

I'll see if I can get The Message. I prefer hard back and the hard back is $30, so it might take a while to earn the money for it.

just a suggestion

if you want a temporary one they have free qurans over the internet just google 'free quran' and if you get one just cross out everything in parentheses ;D

OK, tell me why I can't read the Quran in my own language. Isn't the message meant for all people?
