English Qur'an Versions

[q8penpals]

Salam

FOr those of you who read Qu'ran in English, what "version" or translation of the Qur'an do you have? I hear people talk about different translations, but where do you tell which is which (and does it make a big difference)?

This is what mine says on the front cover:

The Holy Qur'an: English translation of the meanings and Comentary"

And on the inside title page it says:

"The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz Al-Saud King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Has the Honour To Order the Printing of this Holy Qur'an and the Translation of Its meanings and commentary."

Then the second "title page" it says:

"Mushaf Al-Madinah An-Nabawiyah
Revised and Edited by
THE PRESIDENCY OF ISLAMIC RESEARCHERS, IFTA, CALL AND GUIDANCE"


The book doesn't have an actual information page (like it doesn't say anywhere when it was published) like American books have.

:salam2:
:ma: this must be the best and most authentic english translation of the Holy Qur'an ... it's toroughly checked by a panel of highly educated translators of the Holy Qur'an in Al Madina....

And Allah knows best.

The one I was using was printed by Oxford press.
It just says "The Qur'an" ...and in the inside it says "A new translation by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem"

Now I have a different one that my Husband just brought me...On the cover it says:

Roman Transliteration
of
The Holy Qur'aan
with full Arabic text
(English Translation by
Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall)
