The title of this book reveals that the translator is not actually knowledgeable about Islam. It is forbidden to make any change, however small, to the Holy Qur'an. That would include translation from Arabic.Legitimate translations will be titled "The meaning of the Holy Qur'an" or something along those lines, in order to indicate that the book is not the Qur'an, but a translation.This may seem like a minor point to non-Muslims, but in fact, it is strongly indicative of poor understanding of both the Holy Qur'an, and the laws of Islam.The Meaning Of The Holy Quran by Abdullah Yusuf Ali is an excellent alternative. Beautifully written and annotated by a true Muslim and Scholar.
