Hi comingtotruth,

Welcome to the forum! You have a great story. You learned arabic just off of YouTube? Can you share your strategy/videos that were helpful? Hope you find some of what you are looking for here.

Just my crazy thoughts...

JEWISH I am just learning the basics though I would love to learn classical arabic as I have come to learn on this forum....I have been using quranicarabicwebinars they have a website too and their lessons I find are organised in chronological order so thaey are easy to follow inshallah

peace,

I think most translations are fine to read as long as one does so in conjunction with study tools.

Personally, I prefer Muhammad Asad's translation, but I usually read online using www.quranix.net which has a few to compare with.

Thank u so much for ur help

i want to introduce myself...i am shamim a female currently living in the USA in Connecticut i found out about this website after i just had my baby in January and i was asking a friend of mine who studied 'shariah' in Saudi when i would resume my prayers seeing in traditional Islam i couldn't even breath next to the Qur'an in such an abominable state and i felt helpless cause i needed to talk to God but couldn't ...mmm...anyway i am glad he didn't bother replying my texts and all cause i turned to uncle Google and there i found A. Mohammeds website which i read and being i was feeling let down i immediately embraced the truth and threw out all i knew...cleaned up my mind and started afresh...book marked the website and read all the pages on it sometimes reading till almost 3 am..then going to you tube to learn how to read arabic....my knowledge thirst became insatiable and again thanks to uncle Google i looked more about the true Islam...after jumping hops and toots over a couple more websites i finally found this one i have read so many pages on the discussions and came from learning something to being more confused to finding my self to hanging on some issues etc so i decided to officially join the forum and really be part of the community. i admit i am not perfect but with support i can become a true believer as Allah says in the quran inshallah....my biggest problem now is which quran has the best translation that monotheists can use cause now i cant interpret the Arabic i understand it through reading the english version...i have the Yusuf Ali and too scared to open it now seeing it may have so many misinterpretations...ok this is long but any help will be appreciated and for now peace be upon u all and May Allah strengthen us in seeking knowledge and spreading the true Islam
