The Quran is the holy book of Islam, and a guide to right and good living for entire mankind (2:185). The Quran has original Arabic text preserved intact as revealed in the 7th century to Prophet Muhammad. The holy Quran contains the Word of God to the exclusion of any human addition. The manuscripts we have from the first century of Islam authenticate todays text. The Quran is essentially untranslatable Muhammad Asad says in his foreword to The Message of the Quran, (1980) ...although it is impossible to reproduce the Quran as such in any other language, it is none the less possible to render its message comprehensible to people who, like most westerners, do not know Arabic... well enough to find their way through it unaided. The Message of the Quran is a liberal and faithful English translation and illuminating commentary by Leopold Weiss (Muhammad Asad), please click the following link : The Message of the Quran (Deluxe Ed.) islamicbookstore/b5696.html
