« on: December 22, 2003, 08:38:01 AM »
Ok Im done with my christmas shopping and have a few more bucks ($60+) leftover from my Christmas bonus. I think I'll use that to buy my very own Quran.

What version do you suggest, people? :D

I'll assume you are being serious and will recommend:

Ahmed Ali's Contemporary English Translation.

It's an excellent translation in my humble opinion.

You can get it at:

http://store.yahoo.com/desistore-com/alquran.html

It's the newest edition and I have bought from this company and can recommend them. The book is also hardback and very nicely printed.

Peace

Peace DoctorNo

I would not say that there is a 'best' translation of the quran, but I'd recommend Muhammad Maulana Ali's.

Take care.
