| [slm] I was wondering if Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall's translation of the Holy Qur'aan is a good one? Which translations would u recommend and which ones should be avoided? [wlm] |

| as-salaamu alaikum I found a link somewhere on the web to a new translation that Yahya Emerick is working on. I think he and his team have translated half of it and a portion of the translation is available online. It might be the one that Se7en is referring to. Unfortunately, i can't find the link. |
