why hasn't all of the quran been translated?

How can anyone do justice in trying to translate even one verse of revelation authored by God. For those don't speak or understand Arabic, we can try to understand the meaning of the verses in the Quran through a good translation but we can never duplicate the essence of God's revelations,whether its the choice of words, the order of sentences in a verse, the order of verses, or the rythmic flow.

That being said, which Muslim claim that the Quran is written in the greatest language in the world? Which verses constitute 20% of the Quran you claim can't be translated or understood ? Are you refering to the allegorical verses ? Which scholars are you referring too? Is this your own research?

PLEASE LIST YOUR SOURCES!

You do yourself and others an injustice by passing of false information as facts and then frame a question based on the erroneous premise. Like your previous questions about there being a 'real' Quran and a 'fake Western' Quran.

The Quran was revealed in the language of the Prophet and his people. God revealed all of his revelations in the language of his prophets and their people so that they could understand His message. While Arabic may certainly be a rich language , it wasn't the reason the Quran was revealed in it. If the prophet Muhammad and his people spoke Spanish or English, it would be equally miraculous.

The rest of the question I'm not going to bother answering until you explain what verses you're talking about. Besides, anyone who has seen a translation of the Quran knows that all of the verses do include a translation. There are no verses that are marked as 'can't be translated'. Go get yourself a Quran translation in whatever language you're comfortable with and verify this yourself. You can even do it online.

You claim you're on a mission to educate Muslims about their faith in one of your previous posts, but based on many of your questions, its clear you don't have the knowledge of Islam to educate Muslims or anyone else.

I strongly recommend you educate yourself a little more before trying to debate these issues. Or just ask honest questions if you want to learn.

There are plenty of sincere people here who will be more than happy to answer your questions as opposed to the kinds of responses you seem to attract.

A little correction right here. The Quranic arabic is the identical arabic that's spoken in these days and the authentic language in lots of arab international locations. It is right that during a few international locations we use slang, and avenue languages, but arabic has continuously been and can continuously be the identical. Watch the scoop in any arab channel if you do not feel me. Second, there may be definitely no intent that prohibits the interpretation of the Quran in any language, however simplest on a few stipulations: *That readers be conscious that that is simply a translation as interpreted by means of the translator (a human), so it's susceptible to errors and subjectivity. *That it would no longer be used for worship and praying. It simplest serves non-arabic talking participants to realize the meanings of the Quran. If you desire to hope you're going to must memorize even the smallest verse which will do the activity. One of the best miracles of the Quran is that it has preserved the Arabic language in its fashioned style (see what occurred to Latin for instance). It additionally saved international locations of the Middle East, and North Africa in lingual team spirit for greater than 1400 12 months, and I feel that used to be one of the vital explanations why the British and French occupations had been looking to impose there languages because the authentic languages ago many years. By the best way, studying arabic would look to be tough however it's not unattainable. Many scholars come from Pakistan, India, England, Italy, America, Eastern Europe, ...and many others., research arabic and the Quran in our Arabic international locations, and in a couple of months they are able to talk arabic higher than us mom-tonguers.

The Quran is translated and understood by millions everyday, there are millions of Muslims who are busy doing it at this very moment.

The basic rules of criticism goes something like this:

Always bring your best game

Do serious research before opening your mouth

Keep your self informed of the development as new arguments are added all the time

When a position stands refuted do not revisit.

When you don't know the answer, do not ask the question

Be a good sport when it becomes clear that the opponents just kicked your a**

Never ever play out of your league

I hope I was some help - Thanks

The claim is wrong. Allah wishes to reach all the peoples of the world. How can he do that if he doesn't respect their languages?

You asked this 3 times before, but again: The Quran isn't translated and there isn't any doubt in what the Arabic words are. The Quran was passed down in writing but predominantly by oral memorization (look up hafiz), and although the style of writing that was used at the time is not as commonly used (except for calligraphic art), the original pronunciation of the Quran is still maintained.

As for the different interpretations, that's because God wants us to understand it ourselves. He tells us to cut the middle-man. Yes, we should consult them and seek their help in understanding what we don't get, but they can never know what God says for sure and they do make many mistakes. It's up to each person to understand the Quran themselves.

Edit:

Exactly. I'm saying neither I nor the mufasireen (interpreters) know more than God *because* the Quran is perfect and has been passed down to us in whole (and exactly as it was revealed).

And it is the most clear and concise book, but too much speculation can make it seem more ambiguous than it actually is. For example if someone tells you "do not wear this red shirt today" it's clear enough what you are asked to do, which is to not wear that red short today, right? Then people come along and make speculations and reach conclusions like:

"Can we wear red shirts in general?"

"Can we wear any other red shirt today?"

"Can we wear this red shirt tomorrow?"

"What if I wear it but don't button it up?"

"How exactly do you define 'wearing' the shirt? If I put my right hand into the sleeve, but don't put the rest of it on, does that count?"

"If I paint that shirt green, does it become ok to wear it on that day?"

"I have read this sentence and my conclusion is that we shouldn't wear shirts, instead everyone should wear dresses"

"Can I wear any shirt at all today, or should I go shirtless?"

"This statement clearly says that that shirt should not be worn today day, therefore it is easy to conclude that all should stay at home because clearly it wants us to go shirtless and logically nobody can go outside shirtless"

and so on. All that speculation doesn't mean that the statement isn't clear as can be, it's unneeded complexity that's imposed onto it by us. And taking things out of context, generalizing or reaching conclusions that aren't specifically and explicitly in the Quran distorts it because people look for things that aren't there. The Quran is concise, simple, perfect and unchanging and therefore has power over a lot of people who choose to follow it. People recognize that power and some want to abuse it. How they do that is by trying to integrate things into the Quran and since they CANNOT no matter how hard they try do that, they use and abuse tafseer and interpretation leading people to look for things that aren't and weren't intended to be there. God says it is concise and simple not extensively covering everything that we have ever or will ever encounter.

God Himself said we would differ; I'll leave you with some ayas that might help:

"Mankind was one single nation, and God sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. God by His Grace Guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For God guided whom He will to a path that is straight." (2:213)

"And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers." (6:92)

"We send down (stage by stage) in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss." (17:82) [my note: I only add this in response to your additional details to an answerer above -- anything approached with an attitude of rejection sounds horrible]

"And We have explained to man, in this Qur'an, every kind of similitude: yet the greater part of men refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude!" (7:89)

"This is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds." (38:87)

all the Worlds :)

Edit:

What 20% are you talking about? The Muqatta'at? That is because they aren't words. They're letters and I'm pretty sure they don't make up 20% of the Quran. And if you are so sure it's truth then cite your sources or your research that lead to this 'fact'. Writing it out in Caps Lock won't make it any truer than it is (which is not at all).

Not answering you coz answering you is like explaining to a brick wall who will never understand, you are here just to create doubts and distract people from haq." Al lanatullahi alazzalimeen".

That's not correct

who told you that!?

please don't waste your time and waste others search from right sources then speak over here ..

the web is FULL of many RIGHT Islamic resources and information in more than 10 languages

you dont know anything .

each verse was revealed in a context throughout prophets life

the context can be found here

www.tafsir.com

islam is a relegion of peace and mercy for beleivers, and a relegion of war and hate for disbeleivers, as the schoalrs Ibn Kathir and Aytollah khomnei have suggested

this is indicated in the hadith "i am the prophet of mercy, i am the prophet of war"
