    Muhammad Ali Jinnah
    “The great majority of us are Muslims. We follow the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed (may peace be upon him).

    Wahiduddin Khan
    “There are certain verses in the Quran which convey injunctions similar to the following: 'Kill them wherever you find them.' (2:191)
    Referring to such verses, there are some who attempt to give the impression that Islam is a religion of war and violence. This is total untrue. Such verses relate in a restricted sense, to those who have unilaterally attacked the Muslims. The above verse does not convey the general command of Islam. (pp. 42-43)”
    Wahiduddin Khan, The True Jihad: The Concept of Peace, Tolerance and Non Violence in Islam

    Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall
    “...The Qur'an cannot be translated. ...The book is here rendered almost literally and every effort has been made to choose befitting language. But the result is not the Glorious Qur'an, that inimitable symphony, the very sounds of which move men to tears and ecstasy. It is only an attempt to present the meaning of the Qur'an-and peradventure something of the charm in English. It can never take the place of the Qur'an in Arabic, nor is it meant to do so...”
    Pickthall M. Marmaduke, The Meanings of the Glorious Qur'an
