Quran
« on: November 26, 2012, 05:11:15 PM »
In a multicultural city, such as the one I live in, Islam is everywhere. Yet very few people bother to read the Quran. If you feel like giving it a try , here is a link to a public domain version.

Sometimes the light is shining on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long, strange, trip it's been

Thanks, another one for my list as a few years ago a Muslim friend suggested us reading it and I have enough curiosity to read it.

I've read it, but many of the meaning a lost when translated from arrabic to English.

I think much of the Bible was lost in various translations too - there is also a huge difference between the St James version and the previous version in places
