Falah, your copying and pasting is beyond irritating. Can't you just post a normal opinion like everyone else?
Opinions are not worth much in my opinion - unless they come from recognised experts in their field.
Just about everybody here is a layman -although some claim to have military experience.
My qualifications are BA (hons) in history. But I don't expect you to take that as evidence for anything. Most of the stuff written on this forum is worthless unless backed up by evidence.
I thought you had a degree in arabic?
Ohhh no the story is unravelliiiiiiiiing....
You obviously do not have much knowledge of university degrees.
I have major in Arabic and a major in history. My honours thesis was history-based.
If you knew anything about university degrees, you would know that an undergraduate degree can be comprised of more than one major.

If you knew anything about university degrees, you would know that a major is not a degree.

Do you expect us to believe Pickthal-Yusef Ali-Shakir-Muhsin Khan -etc all got the translation wrong with every verse and you with Arabic as a second language are the only one to get it right?
Do you realise that all the translators that you mention also have Arabic as a second language? Those translators are Anglish, Afghani and Indians. Do you think that somehow because I am Australian, I could not learn Arabic as well or better than them? Sad to see that you have such a poor opinion of Australians.
I have a university degree in Arabic, they do not. I am an English native-speaker, only Pickthall can lay also lay claim to that.
Of all the tranlsaters you mentioned, non have Arabic as their first language, none have university degrees in Arabic. Only Pickthall has English as his first language.
Therefore, I am just as qualified, if not more so, than any of the translators you mentioned.
