Asad is good but some of his views aren't orthodox. The miracles of Jesus aren't physical, Jesus died a natural death and wasn't raised alive into Heaven. See his note on 4:157 for starters. And he wasn't a Qadiani. It worries me who to pick up and read in case I do come across unorthodox views like you mentioned, especially if they are subtle ones. I usually stick to Yusuf Ali/Pickthall as I have heard them spoken about a lot and hence can trust that these are safe to read. |

![]() ![]() I wish I could read and understand the Qur'an in Arabic. Then would I need to ponder over best translation? Since I don't... I read the English translation by Yusuf Ali (only because my copy is in paperback and easy to hold) and supplement this with commentary and the translation in Ma'ariful Qur'an (I find the commentary very useful). ![]() |

Make that wish a reality sister. There are many places on the internet you can learn Arabic from, either for free or by paying. |

Are you Muslim PouringRain? Because it says you're not but you like Yusuf Ali? Or is it just from a literary perspective or? ![]() If you want a brief overview of my beliefs, read the "about" on my blog: http://yeshmayin.wordpress.com/ I should probably just stick my blog link in my signature. ![]() |

I have no idea why the Sahih International version is not more popular.

![]() Ali Unal's translation is a really good one, he is a Hanafi scholar from Turkey I think. Its has got commentary explaining the translation so it will be easier to understand. Download pdf: http://www.ebookee.net/The-Quran-Tra...t-_569127.html |

exactly, its the best translation (in my opinion). In fact, anyone who reads it with tafseer and commentary will see that it the most accurate English translation, it uses the exact words described in tafaseer and commentary.

Bro I've tried many time to learn Arabic online, but I always give up. Its just not possible for me, and I dont find a lot of the sites very helpful. Best way to learn Arabic is with a live teacher. If you aren't willing to pay, lqtoronto.com is a course that teaches the Madinah Arabic Books. It's a lot slower paced than shariah program, and more dry but alhamdulillah it is the best free course I have seen. |

Are you willing to pay brother? If so, Shariah program is the most superior thing I have ever seen. Dedicate 2 years of your life to this program with a live teacher and live sessions + prerecorded material and you will come out the other end with a very good proficiency in Arabic. You are even taught to speak it in the last half of the second year. |
