Fariq Naik – The Best English Translations of the Qur’an

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07

			Assalamualaikum I'm Misbah from
Kashmir India, please can you
		

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11

			recommend some authentic English
translation of the Glorious Quran?
		

00:00:11 --> 00:00:17

			At the outset I would like to
mention that no translation of the
		

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

			Glorious Quran it is 100% Perfect,
whether it be the English
		

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

			translation, or the audio
translation, or the Spanish
		

00:00:23 --> 00:00:28

			translation or the German
translation, because it is a human
		

00:00:28 --> 00:00:33

			handiwork, it is prone to error it
is prone to mistake. And no human
		

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

			being can say that a particular
translation it is 100% Perfect.
		

00:00:36 --> 00:00:40

			The Arabic text it is the word of
Almighty God, the translation it
		

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

			is not the word of Almighty God.
So if there's any mistake in the
		

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

			translation, it is attributed to
the translator and not to Almighty
		

00:00:48 --> 00:00:53

			God in order to have best
understanding of the Glorious
		

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

			Quran. And in order to have in
depth analysis of the Glorious
		

00:00:56 --> 00:01:01

			Quran, the best way to do so is to
learn Arabic as a language so that
		

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

			an individual can understand the
Glorious Quran directly and he can
		

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

			refer to several books of Tafseer.
		

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

			But if an individual does not know
Arabic language, then he can refer
		

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

			to the translation of the Glorious
Quran. As far as the English
		

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

			translation of the Glorious Quran
is concerned. One of the best
		

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

			English translations of the
Glorious Quran is that the lives
		

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

			of holly and
		

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

			when you're referring to Abdullah
Yusuf Ali, you should refer to the
		

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

			revised edition of Abdullah Yusuf
Ali that is revised by triple it.
		

00:01:36 --> 00:01:40

			This is one of the best English
translations of the Glorious
		

00:01:40 --> 00:01:44

			Quran, but the English it is
archaic English, English similar
		

00:01:44 --> 00:01:51

			to Shakespeare, the Tao so certain
people may find it difficult. So
		

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56

			if a person wants something that
is more simple, or simpler, then
		

00:01:56 --> 00:02:01

			he can refer to say International.
So these two translation of the
		

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

			Glorious Quran, the Abdullah
Safale, and the Saudi
		

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

			International, these are one of
the best English translation of
		

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11

			the Glorious Quran in Abdullah
Safale you have additional
		

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

			footnotes that explain certain
words of the Glorious Quran and
		

00:02:14 --> 00:02:19

			there is also commentary, which
you can refer to reading the
		

00:02:19 --> 00:02:24

			Glorious Quran on a daily basis it
is very important for those who
		

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

			know Arabic as language, it is the
best you can directly read the
		

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

			Arabic text of the Glorious Quran
and inshallah understand it and
		

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

			besides this to have more
understanding of the Glorious
		

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

			Quran you can refer to several
books have seen, for example,
		

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

			tuxedo McAfee tuxedo to be tuxedo
Angela Alain tavsiye, the Saudi
		

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

			Tafseer of poverty. All of these
books you can refer to which are
		

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

			available but not in the Arabic
language. If you do not know
		

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

			Arabic as language, at least read
the translation of the Glorious
		

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

			Quran on a daily basis and read
the Tafseer of the Glorious Quran
		

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

			as well. Alhamdulillah of Sydney
cathedra it has been translated in
		

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

request all the brothers and
		

00:03:02 --> 00:03:07

Quran on a daily basis. It is very
		

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11

			important in order to read the
Glorious Quran on a daily basis.
		

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

			And I would request the brothers
and sisters that all those who can
		

00:03:15 --> 00:03:20

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
