Description

Our Salvation in the hereafter lies on upholding The Quran. The Quran is God's Final Testament to the world. Unlike any other book, the Quran is taught by God (55:1-2); He teaches us what we need at the time we need it. This is why we read the Quran hundreds of times without getting bored. We can read a novel, for example, only once. But the Quran can be read an infinite number of times, and we derive new and valuable information from it every time.

Since the Quran is God's message to all the people, regardless of their language, the Quran is accessible to the believers, regardless of their language (41:44).

This explains a profound phenomenon: the believers who do not know Arabic know the Quran better than the Arabic speaking unbelievers. Because of the invisible forces serving the Quran, it is readily and enjoyably accessible to the sincere believers, and utterly inaccessible to the unbelievers (17:45, 18:57, 56:79).

    I've been using Edip Yuksel's translation for two years, and now I want to try a different translation so I can compare and find Yuksel's errors. I don't recommend this edition. First, it's putting notes in the midst of verses, but reading verses continuously is important for better understanding. Second, there are many statements likely to be corrupted when the cult called "Submitters" idolized Rashad Khalifa and many abuse of Code 19, such as predicting the date of Day of Judgment, while it's clear that only God knows when Day of Judgment is. I still recommend The translations of Yuksel and Monotheist Group for those who find Hadith problematic.

    This quran must be taken down. It says it was written by prophet Muhammad pbuh his own hands. Very wrong info. May Allah swt save from distorted info like this Ameen.

    This book is written by Rashad Khalifa, a man who called himself a rasool (prophet), and founded a new "sect" of Islam called submitters. His followers believe he was sent after Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) as the final prophet (astafigurallah). For someone researching Islam, this book is not an accurate depiction of the word of Allah, and really is just the poor interpretation by a cult leader.
  • Excellent....

    The clarity and accuracy of Dr. Khalifa’s translation can clearly be observed when comparing the following verses of the Quran against two of the more mainstream Islamic translators, Yusuf Ali and Marmaduke Pickthall. Sura 2 verse 54 

 Yusuf Ali: 
And remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Ye have indeed wronged yourselves by your worship of the calf: So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, and slay yourselves (the wrong-doers); that will be better for you in the sight of your Maker." Then He turned towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft- Returning, Most Merciful. 

 Pickthall:
And when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Ye have wronged yourselves by your choosing of the calf (for worship) so turn in penitence to your Creator, and kill (the guilty) yourselves. That will be best for you with your Creator and He will relent toward you. Lo! He is the Relenting, the Merciful. 

 Khalifa:
Recall that Moses said to his people, "O my people, you have wronged your souls by worshiping the calf. You must repent to your Creator. You shall kill your egos. This is better for you in the sight of your Creator." He did redeem you. He is the Redeemer, Most Merciful. 


 Chapter 22 verse 15 

 Yusuf Ali:
If any think that God will not help him (His Apostle) in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself) off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages (him)! 

 Pickthall:
Whoso is wont to think (through envy) that Allah will not give him (Muhammad) victory in the world and the Hereafter (and is enraged at the thought of his victory), let him stretch a rope up to the roof (of his dwelling), and let him hang himself. Then let him see whether his strategy dispelleth that whereat he rageth!. 

 Khalifa:
If anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him. 


 Chapter 38 verse 4-5 

 Yusuf Ali: So they wonder that a Warner has come to them from among themselves! and the Unbelievers say, "This is a sorcerer telling lies! 
"Has he made the gods (all) into one God? Truly this is a wonderful thing!" Pickthall:
And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them, and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard, a charlatan. 
Maketh he the gods One God ? Lo! that is an astounding thing. 

 Khalifa: 
They wondered that a warner should come to them, from among them. The disbelievers said, "A magician, a liar. 
"Did he make the gods into one god? This is really strange." 


 Chapter 56 verses 77 - 79 

 Yusuf Ali: 
That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable, 
In Book well-guarded, 
Which none shall touch but those who are clean: 

 Pickthall: That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an
In a Book kept hidden 
Which none toucheth save the purified, 

 Khalifa: This is an honorable Quran. 
In a protected book. 
None can grasp it except the sincere. Modern day Islam has been severely corrupted and the majority of Muslims have completely abandoned the Quran in favor of manmade fabrications called Hadith and Sunnah that are outright condemned in the Quran(45:6, 4:51, 4,60, 42:21, 6:114). For instance ask the average Muslim what the first pillar of Islam is and they include the name of a human being next to God (3:18, 39:45, 63:1). Dr. Khalifa extracts the true meaning of the Quran being the worship of God alone. The fact God allowed him to discover the meaning behind the mysterious Quran initials that prefix 29 chapters of the Quran is further evidence that he was a sincere believer and had the correct understanding of the Quran. This finding is well documented and easily verifiable in the Appendix of this translation and can be evaluated by anyone who wants physical proof that the Quran is the undeniable scripture directly from God.
