Thank you Graham for your thoughtful reply. 🏵️
It's understandable that as a non-Muslim, you may not feel inclined to follow the teachings of the Quran. However, it's important to note that Allah's control over the universe does not negate the responsibility of human beings to use their intellect and reason to study and understand the natural world. In fact, Islam encourages the pursuit of knowledge as a way to better appreciate and understand the creation of Allah.
Regarding your inquiry on Quran translation: 👇👇
The Quran is a singular, holy book that is considered to be the central religious text of Islam. It was originally revealed in the Arabic language to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, by God (Allah) and is believed to be a timeless and universal message.
However, as the Quran is written in the Arabic language, the non-Arabic speaking population has difficulty understanding its teachings and principles.
To allow for a broader understanding and access to the teachings of the Quran, it has been translated into numerous languages for people all around the world. These translations permit those who do not know the Arabic language to experience and benefit from the divine message of the Quran.
It's important to remember, though, that while the Quran is available in different languages, the original version in Arabic continues to be the ((only)) definitive and unchanging text, available in every corner of the globe, and every Muslim house for worship and spiritual connection to Allah.
While certain values and beliefs may evolve and adapt to changing circumstances, the essence of Islam remains the same: to submit to the will of Allah and live a righteous life.
I appreciate your respect for all religious traditions and wish you peace as well.
