Is it acceptable to read the Quran in English?

[quraneasy]

[jshm2]

You can't

You can only read a translation of the Quran in another language.

The Quran is written in old Arabic, most of which has no translation in other languages.

It's like someone saying they are drinking orange juice, when in fact it's an orange flavoured drink.

[Dargil]

My understanding is that the Qur'an is a living, divine document in the original Arabic but not when translated into another language. It's considered a paraphrase.

[Anonymous]

Yes, it is. No matter what language it is, if you read the Quran from your heart, inshallah you will have a great reward.

[SecularNationalist]

Then why are we now allowed to read quran in Turkish?

[Opinion Owner]

@SecularNationalist What kind of question is that, for God's sake, if you don't want to read the quran in Turkish, then learn arabic.

[SecularNationalist]

I want to read it in Turkish.
This is the issue here.
I want to read it in my own native tonque but islamic extremist and arab minorities doesn't allow us to do so.

[Opinion Owner]

@SecularNationalist What can I do? What's that to me? Why aren't you all ashamed to make material of your country's problems here? Why do you always complain about your country's problems here and try to start a discussion here? What is the purpose?

[SecularNationalist]

I find it very hypocritical that its ok for muslims around the world to read quran in English but not in turkish.
Also %99 of problems in my country caused by that racist, arab religion called islam.

[Opinion Owner]

@SecularNationalist I seriously can't believe I'm having a conversation with you. I wish I hadn't answered you in the first place. If a person criticizes his country in other media and talks about his country's internal problems, that person is not a true patriot and nationalist. Sorry. Now please don't write any more. Also, if you are so complaining about the racist religion of the Arabs, why do you want to read the Quran in Turkish? I think you are in a dilemma. You don't like the racist religion of the Arabs and you want to read the Arabs' book in your own language (Turkish). I think you change your religion.

[InYourHead]

I'm not Muslim but I can't imagine it would be wrong to read any book in any language

[SecularNationalist]

You dont know how arab supremacist islam is?
We are not allowed to read quran in different languages other than arabic.
This is one of the reasons why I became an atheist as a non arab ex muslim.

[ProfoundNflawed]

@SecularNationalist
I have read the quran in English and it honestly is so disgusting, so full of hatred.

[SecularNationalist]

@ProfoundNflawed There are translations out there but those translations driving islamic fundementalist (arab and non arab) and racist arab supremacists crazy.

[SecularNationalist]

@ProfoundNflawed
I am from Turkey , one islamic scholar here once said " We muslims in Turkey should burn Turkish Qurans"
Our education minister also once said that "Turkish language should be dead so in order to achieve this, usage of Turkish language in schools should be banned, instead students should learn arabic and use arabic"
Islam is very racist religion.
Arabs call non arab muslims such as turks, iranians, indonesians etc. "Mevali" which literally means slave.
Arabs believe they are the chosen race by god (allah) and perceive non arab muslims as slaves born to serve them.
When islam becomes the dominant religion in a non-arab country or nation arabization is irresistable. for example assyrians, phoenecians and egyptians became either extinct or get arabized after accepting islam.
Mid east used to be one of the most diverse regions on earth but today its full of arabs. Because islam arabized them.
Islam creates self hating nations who hates their own language and culture. Those kind of nations have zero chance to survive.
Easiest example my country, Turkey. Turkey despite being a secular state currently under rule of a islamist party, getting more arabized every single day. Our own goverment trying to erase our own language and culture.
Thats why most Turkish nationalist are either atheist or neo-shaman.
Islam destroys national pride of non arabs while it strengthens the arabs.
Islam clearly not a true religion. Its just imperialist and expensionist political agenda of arabs.

[ProfoundNflawed]

@SecularNationalist
I didn't know that the Arabs were rude to non Arab Muslims. Thanks for enlightening me.
But I know that every Muslim considers us non Muslims as kaffirs or infidels. Pre Islamic arabia had polytheists even the so called holiest site kaaba is tainted with the blood of the pagans. But noone seems to care about it, yet Muslims shamelessly claim that Islam is the "most peaceful religion" in the world when its messenger or prophet obliterated many civilisations and killed all of them without any mercy. It's anything but peaceful.

[OfDeath]

Even the Arabic quran is a translation. It was originally written in a forgotten language which was a mix of Old Arabic and Aramaic.

[AndrésC64]

It's acceptable to read it in whatever language anyone wants. Nobody gets to tell you which language you have to use.

[SecularNationalist]

Oh yeah then why does islamic extremists in Turkey hating elmalili hamdi yazar who was an islamic scholar who translated quran into Turkish?

[SecularNationalist]

Also here in Turkey , our education minister once said that " Turkish should be dead, people wants arabic , we should ban use of turkish language in our schools"

[SecularNationalist]

Islam is racist and arab supremacist

[AndrésC64]

@SecularNationalist because they are extremists.

[Fuentes]

Im sure most religions that want people to worship will not care what language its read in

[SecularNationalist]

You have zero clue how racist and arab supremacist islamic religion is

[Fuentes]

@SecularNationalist i ain't joining so idc

[SecularNationalist]

Let me give you another reason not to join this racist cult.
Non arab muslims are not allowed to pray or recite quran with their own native tonques instead they have to learn arabic.
Muslims literally perceive arabs as chosen people even they dont admit it. They praise the arab culture and arabs even more than arabs themselves.
When islam becomes the majority of peoples religion in a nation or country, arabization is irresistable.

[Fuentes]

@SecularNationalist lol trust me i would not join i heard how some arabs think just me as being as of color is low and id i married a arab women is frowned upon? Yet they say its a open religion but im also not equal. So i. know

[NamerOfStars]

I sure hope so, or I'm in trouble.

[Iron_Man]

Were Christian people

[EnglishEuropean]

Um... why wouldn't it be?

[moonpie89]

Of course it us.
