[NFB-Muslims] Albright Heather: making Islamic text accessible

[ibrahim abedrabbo]

As-salamu aleikum.
In addition to what sister Heather suggested, I like to suggest the translation of the holy Quran by Tarif Khalidi. It is available in BookShare.

I just wanted to read along with them when they goe threw the Quran with the same translation, so we can be on the same page. English translations are not the Quran and no English translation will be completely correct; you can only do this with the Arabic Quran inshallah.

I tried to make contact with them to fix this issue and never received a response accept for we will look ing to it; that was 5 years ago and I am still waiting.
