English Translation
of the Quran
The reader is urged strongly to read the English translation of Dr. Rashad
Khalifa. It is by far the best English translation of the Quran. Unlike many
other translations, it is free from idolatrous tendencies. It does not present the
Quran from a ' hadith and Sunna' perspective as most of the other translations
do, and above all it presents the message of the Quran in its purest form.
The reader is also advised to note that any translation of God's revelation is a
human effort. It is NOT Scripture, and by the definition of 4:82, we are told
that only God's revelation are free from error. The reader is thus warned
against labelling any translation as being perfect or free of error. The moment
he/she does that they would have fallen into idol worship. Consequently, the
translation of Dr. Rashad Khalifa, like other human efforts is also subject to
have errors of translation and interpretation.
