[Faith-talk] Koran question

[Frank Lordi]

I'd offer that none of the translations can be perfect owing to the imperfect 
humans doing the translation, and unavoidable glitches in languages.

Since the koran is not the inspired word of God it is not protected from 
'entropy' as it were?

Hi -- who are the translators of the 4 versions?
My brother has made a study of 6 English translations, comparing verses to 
the original Arabic, and claims there are some fundamental disagreements on 
certain points -- well, according to him anyway.  He is convinced that none 
of the translated versions is completely accurate in all verses.  If you 
send the list of names I'll ask him his opinion. He is Christian, but is 
interested in studying other religions.  Oh, by the way, he also says the 
English Bible isn't translated correctly in all verses...

I have a Super CD from National Braille Press that has four different 
versions of the Koran.  Does anyone know whose translation is supposed to be 
the most accurate?

A path well-trod,
A familiar lane
Through sacred sod,
A road we travel
Too often, I fear,
For there are the good times
When things are hard here,
