Quran: The Final Testament - Authorised English Version

by Rashad Khalifa

Our Salvation in the hereafter lies on upholding The Quran. The Quran is God's Final Testament to the world. Unlike any other book, the Quran is taught by God (55:1-2); He teaches us what we need at the time we need it. This is why we read the Quran hundreds of times without getting bored. We can read a novel, for example, only once. But the Quran can be read an infinite number of times, and we derive new and valuable information from it every time.


Since the Quran is God's message to all the people, regardless of their language, the Quran is accessible to the believers, regardless of their language (41:44).


This explains a profound phenomenon: the believers who do not know Arabic know the Quran better than the Arabic speaking unbelievers. Because of the invisible forces serving the Quran, it is readily and enjoyably accessible to the sincere believers, and utterly inaccessible to the unbelievers (17:45, 18:57, 56:79).

This is a wonderful translation. It definitely changed my life for the better. Become focused on spirituality and help those less fortunate. Be kind to all creatures.

Although Khalifa departs from mainstream with his pulling out of the code 19 in the Quran, his translation is one of the best, and purely Arabic translation based on the Quran ONLY. Without reference to hadith which he sees as completely invalid as doctrine. Great for "progressivists". 19.org has it online with an overview of his "discovery" of the Quran code.

Since I started reading this book, the quality of
my life has changed so profoundly. It has brought so much meaning and guidance into my life. I am so gratefull for this miraculous rebirth.

It's unfortunate that people quote the Quran today without even picking it up. Some are Muslims who hear other people's interpretations and others are not Muslims who also hear other people's interpretations. Like most basic books of a religion the Quran teaches us that our first love should be to G-d and our second to our neighbors. Don't let people tell you what it is, read it. And as for the Quran saying that Muslims will take over the world, the New Testament pretty much says the same thing if you read it incorrectly. What they are both saying, as well as pretty much every basic religious book, is that the word of G-d will be heard and individuals will have the opportunity to make up their own mind.

One of the finest authorized translation which has changed my life and the people around me. It comes with an inbuilt proof of this book's authenticity.

“[73:4]  Or a little more. And read the Quran from cover to cover.
 
[73:5]  We will give you a heavy message.”

I started reading this because I've always heard the Quran is similar to the Bible. I was curious, and wanted to see for myself.
What a load of crap!! Only the most ignorant moron would ever believe the two books have anything in common!

This is a corrupted translation.
Let me start by saying that in surah Al Tawbah the author doesn't include two verses. He explains why he didn't include them--the Quran was corrupted and those two verses were added by idol worshippers.
Another thing is that he claims to be a prophet of Allah. Another false claim. He explains this by some mathematical stuff he did (didn't make much sense) that shows how the Quran spells his name in numbers.
Don't read any of this book. It's not reliable.

[Ayesha Fayyaz]

I strongly prohibit anyone to read this book because this book is a spam. It projects false knowledge because Rashad Khalifa refered himself as the messenger of God though he was not. He was a believer of Quranist Islam which rejects the knowledge of Sunnah and Shariah law. Secondly the book is not proofed by any Islamic scholar.
