Qua'ran be translated to different languages..although it has been, it is considered a sin to do so..
Why are all muslims even those who do not know or speak the Arabic language are required to read the Qua'ran in arabic when obviously they can't understand it!!?
And, muslims, please do not deny for these are all true.

You just did waste time to answer my question! If you are so right and I am so wrong, than give me ACTUAL translations from the Qua'ran that proves to be so. You can't. That's why you already haven't. You haven't and you couldn't because these are all in Qua'ran. Read again or accept the truth my friend.

"Why can't anyone read the Qua'ran without washing beforehand"
Because it is a Holy document and by washing beforehand, you're not only giving it respect, you're keeping clean and filth free.
"why can't the Qua'ran be translated to different languages..although it has been, it is considered a sin to do so.."
It isn't considered a sin to do so. Where did you hear that ridiculous load of nonsense?
"Why are all muslims even those who do not know or speak the Arabic language are required to read the Qua'ran in arabic when obviously they can't understand it!!?"
They're not required to read the Qur'an in Arabic. You're free to read it in any language you want. Again, you're making things up.
"If you are so right and I am so wrong, than give me ACTUAL translations from the Qua'ran that proves to be so. You can't. That's why you already haven't. You haven't and you couldn't because these are all in Qua'ran. Read again or accept the truth my friend."
Why don't you put up verses from the Qur'an to prove yourself? You're the one who's trying to make a point with this question, not me. All I'm doing is answering the question. You're the one who needs to show evidence first, not me. So go ahead, put up the Qur'an verses that say all of the things that you're claiming it says and I'll give you a response.

May the Peace, Blessings and Mercy of God be Upon you
It is recommended to be pure when you handle the Qu'ran as this places you in a pure state when you recite the words of God.
Where did you get these ideas from?
You should read the Qu'ran in Arabic AND the Translation if you don't understand it.
The only thing that would be a sin is to say the translation is the word of God, the translation is only the interpretation of the Word of God.
Peace Be With You

I have read parts of a QURAN translated into ENGLISH that a MUSLIM friend of mine had! It can be translated! Yea and I had to wash my hands before I touched it but I didn't care. It is the same God as the Christian God it is just that they have some different beliefs like Jesus being the Son but Muslims do believe that Jesus was a prophet of God and they do respect him. Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all praying to the same God. Thats why Muslims believe in Moses and Jesus. Why do people act like it is some distant crazy religion when it was derived from Christianity which was derived from Judaism?

The handwashing dates back to Bible days, the Jews practiced the same thing when writing God's name. They'd do a ritual bath to show respect and awe and honor to His name.
Why can't it be translated? I don't know their reasoning, but I bet it's because they are afraid something will get lost in the translation.
That would also be why it's required to be read in Arabic. That and because they want to keep the language alive and thriving in the hearts of their followers.

before we pray to Allah we muslims have to make ourself clean either physically or spritualy, so in doing so we have to clean ourselves by taking bath or just an ablutions ,i.e wash the face, hand, part of the head, the ear and the feet that's means covered the whole body...this also goes to carrying, touching and reading Quran because Quran is the book of Allah...when the Quran translate into another languages it was considered just an ordinary book .

Unforgettable.....the reason why they wash theire hands etc. is out of respect for their religion and God..do you pray dirty?
Quran says:
”Keep up prayer at the two ends of the day and in the first hours of the night” (Hud, 11:114)
Basically, Salat consists of a recitation of Quran, praise of Allah, and various body postures to show one’s submission and obedience to Allah. The Call to Prayer (Azaan) is the common way of summoning Muslims towards salat. The main conditions for the practice of salat require a pure body, clothes and wudu (washing).
What is wudu (washing)?
Before offering prayer, the prescribed manner of cleansing oneself is called wudu. Basically, wudu is the washing of the various body parts which is mentioned in Quran.
“O you who believe! When you prepare for prayer wash your faces and your hands to the elbows, rub your head (with water) and (wash) your feet to the ankles” (5 :6)
In case of a shortage of water, a dry washing (Tayammum) is done. This can be practiced by rubbing face, elbows and arms in dust, pure earth, earthen pot or brick.
Salat being the obligatory form of worship for Muslims, none are excused for any condition unless a person is unconscious, having a mental disorder or is undergoing menstruation. In order to derive full benefits of salat, Muslims perform salat in a congregation (in mosque). If circumstances do not allow this, then a believer can perform salat anywhere. Likewise, it can be said in any position, lying down (in the state of illness), sitting or standing upright, on horse/camel backs or in a car. As said in Quran:
“When ye have performed the act of worship, remember Allah, standing, sitting or reclining.” (4:103)
The Essence of Salat
Which prayer is acceptable to Allah? The answer to this question is surprisingly simple – Allah will accept the prayer which is offered with a sincere heart, with devotion, with deliberate mental concentration, and with a pure heart. Consider the advantages of Salat in our lives:
Salat allows us to refrain from shameful and evil activities
It produces fear of Allah in the hearts of believers
Salat promotes brotherhood, equality and the consolidation of ummah in congregational prayer assemblies
Salat encourages punctuality, cleanliness and discipline in a believer’s persona
One can maintain physical fitness through salat
Second of all,the translation in english are always correct in translations. Many words in arabic mean different things in english and visa-versa...
nobody denies these are in the Quran.....there is nothing wrong in learning a different language much less being respectful to god and at least washing yourself before you kneel in his presence.

My guess is that thinking about the koran makes them feel dirty so they instinctively wash when they think about reading it, and especially after reading it. Such washing does not help. They need to let Jesus wash their souls...
