Beauty and Power of the Words of Allah

To listen to the Quran with English translation (Click here)

 The Quran in English: with cautionary points to consider.  Those who have tried to translate the Quran from its Arabic original have found it impossible to express the same wealth of ideas with a limited number of words in the new language.  Comparing any translation with the original Arabic is like comparing a thumbnail sketch with the natural view of a splendid landscape rich in color, light and shade, and sonorous in melody.  Scanty knowledge of classical Arabic would deprive anyone from appreciating the different shades of meaning rendered by the occasionally slightly different declensions of Arabic words.

 ”No man has ever played on that deep-toned instrument with such power, such boldness and such range of emotional effects.”  “To anyone who has not heard the sonorous majesty of an Arab reciting the Quran, it is impossible to convey what the Book lacks in English, French or German.”
“Mohammad Khalifa”
