If Qur'an is the inspired Word of God, should I be able to understand translation with my native tongue ?

Question

Just curious.

Someone just suggested me to learn Arabic to really understand it. That is a lot to ask and takes time.

Answer 1

With every translation the meanings of any writing are altered to some degree the fit the understanding and/or personal beliefs of the translator. This includes the bible. It follows therefore that each additional translation of the translated material will wander farther from the original.

Answer 2

You can gain a general understanding through translations, same as with the Bible, but if there is anything which seems unclear, you may want to have an Arabic speaking/reading friend around to help you out. Like any other written or spoken work, some things are lost or modified in translation.

I recommend having two or three translations available, for comparison.

Answer 3

Translation will do just fine. But after it you'll find urself dying to read the original arabic quran, For me i don't mind learning any other language, even for knowledge, HOw about doing it for god.

Answer 4

Thats a lie. That way they can dodge every question about the evil verses by saying that that is a bad translation. I have an Arab friend who assures me that the english translations are accurate.

Answer 5

brother, there are more non-arab muslims than Arab-muslims, believe it or not. and that never stop them from being a muslim.

prophet Muhammd mentioned that those who read the Quran get rewarded, but for those who struggle when reading it get their reward doubled.

Answer 6

If we in the 21st century still believe that God or Allah or whoever wrote books, then we have to rush and examine our brains.

Answer 7

I would not listen to such stupid stuff, even if god says to me.

anyway , it was written by a daydreamer.

Answer 8

Don't worry about studying it, it's not true anyway.
