YUSUFALI, PICKTHAL, or SHAKIR?
They're all English translations, but they don't match word for word. It's just like how you Muslims say there are so many versions of the Bible as a way of trying to destroy Judaism and Christianity while at the same time promoting Islam.
POT, MEET KETTLE!!!

The original contents are usually lost, changed and or otherwise malformed in translation, and that is sad.
The fact that there are versions indicates
differences in content and is a disturbing happenstance for sure. The companions of the Prophet make a noble
attempt to forestall such an occurrence as this.
Their work has been undone. I fear that if the like
continues as it is unabated we shall eventually know
little or nothing of the original content at all with surety.
My favorite version is the version that supports my concerns at the time.
Pot meet kettle, yes.

Nice try! These are as you say translations! But our Quran is only one in original. Your original bibles are FOUR. ;)
