Here is the Ahmadiyya section on the official website though most of it is in Urdu. Again there is the 5-volume English commentary, the translations, again are highly subjective. <br /><br />By far one of the very topmost translations is the most recent one to come out from Oxford World Classics by M. A. S. Abdel Haleem. For example the chapter called Al Room is usually translated as The Romans but in eight century Arabia it would have meant The Byzantines although literally it means The Romans.<br /><br />The verses I quote I translate myself and stay as true to the original text as possible.Rehan Qayoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391797858691917631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-43859385034165900512009-12-02T00:42:07.961-08:002009-12-02T00:42:07.961-08:00That's interesting.

Being away from God's Light and Truth is to be with Satan. According to a Tradition of Prophet Mohammad ﷺ Satan runs in the blood of mankind. The prophet was asked whether that included himself and he replied 'Indeed, but I have subdued mine so that he only incites me to do that which is Good.'Rehan Qayoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391797858691917631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-80334162005446147702009-11-29T15:28:04.099-08:002009-11-29T15:28:04.099-08:00Thanks, Praphul. :-)Thanks, Praphul. :-)Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-49030480547819170712009-11-28T03:20:19.285-08:002009-11-28T03:20:19.285-08:00great!!
