Quran translations?

Question

Muslims claim that the many different translations of the English Bible will render a single text with many different words and phrases. They have said this is proof the Bible is corrupted and that the Koran reads exactly the same way everywhere in the world in Arabic.

My question is: Since the many English translations of the Koran also render a single text with many different words, does that proof that the Koran is corrupted?

Answer 1

There are some variations of the Quran that are currupted by non muslims. that is why we learn arabic to be able to read in the original text. and there are VERY reputable translations. you can find them here

Answer 2

"... The Qur'an cannot be translated. ...The book is here rendered almost literally and every effort has been made to choose befitting language. But the result is not the Glorious Qur'an, that inimitable symphony, the very sounds of which move men to tears and ecstasy. It is only an attempt to present the meaning of the Qur'an-and peradventure something of the charm in English. It can never take the place of the Qur'an in Arabic, nor is it meant to do so..."
The Bible in the other hand was written 300 years by an atheist Roman Emperor.after prophet Jesus was lifted to heaven.

Answer 3

Well, you misunderstood the whole idea. The fact is that Quran is available in the original text and original language it was revealed. Moreover, the language i.e. Arabic is an 'alive' language and we can always trace back to the meaning of a particular word in Quran even if we read translations. The same is not true for Bible. Is it?

Answer 4

first the qur`an is only written in arabic second the translation is atranslation of the meaning of the qur`an i.e not the qur`an third the difference bet the translation of the meaning and the bible is that the the translation is the same for the same translator but for the bible there are adifferent versions for king james last thing the translation is supervised firmely

Answer 5

Thats a false analogy... Quran is not the same as bible.. because Bible has different VERSIONS,,,, But Quran has only ONE VERSION,,,, and many people have translated that ONE VERSION into different languages......


TRANSLATION - A written communication in a second language having the same meaning as the written communication in a first language

VERSION - An interpretation of a matter from a particular viewpoint OR Something a little different from others of the same type


First of all, if these are different translations then why are they named as “versions” For example, Revised Standard Version, King James Version, American Standard Version, Roman Catholic Version.
But natural, the common sense says that these all must have some difference, that’s why they are named as "VERSION". Otherwise, it would have been ‘bible-translated by so and so’ etc.





The reason that different versions of the bible have been named as “VERSION” is because there are some verses of the one which you will not find in the other. FOR EXAMPLE, 1st Epistle of John, chapter 5 verse no 7

1st Epistle of John, chapter 5 verse no 7 of KJV : "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

1st Epistle of John, chapter 5 verse no 7 of RSV "And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth."

1st Epistle of John, chapter 5 verse no 7 of KJV has been thrown out as an interpolation in the Revised Standard Version of the bible. This verse was also the keystone of the Christian faith of trinity, and it was the only verse which to a such extent proofs the concept of trinity in the bible.

Revised Standard Version of the Bible (R.S.V.) was revised by 32 Christian scholars of the highest eminence backed by 50 different co-operating denominations. Its no longer there in the RS Version of the bible, because the RS Version of the bible takes back more closer to the source, approx. 200 years after the alleged crucification of jesus christ pbuh. The more closer to the source, the more authentic it is.

1 john 5:7 has NOT been expunged from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible by the Muslims or by non-Christian scholars, but by 32 Christian scholars of the highest eminence backed by 50 different cooperating denominations as a fabricated insertion of the church and thus take christianity more closer to Islam, because this verse does not exist in the original manuscript.



SECOND EXAMPLE : Gospel of John, Chapter 3 verse 16.

Gospel of John, Chapter 3 verse 16. (KJV)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Gospel of John, Chapter 3 verse 16. (RSV)
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."


The word ‘begotten’ mentioned in the Gospel of John, Chapter 3 verse 16 of KJV has been thrown out from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible as an interpolation, as a fabrication. . These Scholars have removed this blasphemous word without any ceremony as an interpolation, concoction, fabrication, and adulteration.

Lets see what does the Revised standard Version of the bible have to says about King james versoin.
In the preface of the RSV 1971 , The thirty two Christian scholars of the highest eminence backed by fifty cooperating Christian denominations says about the King James Version (KJV).

"...Yet the King James Version has GRAVE DEFECTS.."

They go on to caution us that:
"...That these defects are SO MANY AND SO SERIOUS as to call for revision"

You can also see the photographic reproduction from the R.S.V. 1971, which is uploaded on the photos menu of our group. You yourself can check it in your RSV bible.

From above mentioned proof, it is now difficult to decide which one is the word of God. Whenever there is a difficulty or a confusion, it is for sure that its not from God. Because, BIBLE- 1 Corinthians 14:33 says that "For God is not [the author] of confusion".

I am sorry to say that most of the Christians consciously or unconsciously deceive their fellow Christians by saying that these are different translations and thus letting them away from the truth. The truth is that the bible has been interpolated by the peoples with the passage of time, and the contradictions present in the bible is clear proofs.

Quran(15:9). We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)

Answer 6

The Qur'an is not corrupted. the Qur'an that over a million muslims have memorised by heart today, is the same Qur'an that the Prophet Muhammad was taught by the Angel Gabriel, and his companions learnt

Answer 7

You can memorize the Quran verbatim. If you are asked what you understand of this or that and answer it in your language, then questions and interpretations become a question of corruption.

Answer 8

no because no matter what language the quran in translated in you can always refer to its original copy in Arabic.with the bible you can't do that.scientists have even proven that the quran has never been changed.its one of the miracles of Allah(god)

Answer 9

NO the difference is when your ancestors translated the bible they added and removed stuff from it.

the Koran is still preserved and ALWAYS will!!! try again!!
