Dr. Khalifa began translating the Quran vowing not to move past any verse until he understood it, and translating A.L.M. took four years, coinciding with the unveiling of the mathematical miracle.1, 2, 3
The existing English translations did not present the truthful message of the Quran, because translators like Yusuf Ali and Pickthall could not overcome their corrupted traditions in rendering 39:45.1, 2, 3
The efficiency of Arabic made it possible to state the law of 2:228 in few words, which other languages could hardly do.1
Using He for God in English and calling God Father have contributed to a false image of God, and the Quran never refers to God as Father.1
Ahmadi translations of the Quran render the word for forever when it applies to Heaven but not when it applies to Hell, even though the Arabic words at the end of 2:81 and 2:82 are identical.1, 2, 3
God does not make mistakes, so an error found in the translation is the translator's own typing error, while the word count shown at the bottom of the page remains perfect.1, 2, 3
The running word count printed at the bottom of each page lets the reader take part in the Quran's mathematical code and realize that God is speaking to him or her.1
The Arabic word for what was exposed means something covered or hidden, not necessarily something shameful, and translating it as shameful parts adds a moral judgment.1, 2, 3, 4
Verse 90:4 means humans were created to work hard, not to suffer; reading pain and suffering into it is an unbelievers' interpretation justifying their own miserable lives.1, 2, 3
Every step of producing the translation was guided by God, and any errors in it are designed by God as loopholes for the disbelievers.1, 2, 3
The only religion approved by God is submission, and in the new translation the word Muslim is changed to submitters because it may introduce prejudice.1, 2, 3
Verse 3:18 is translated He is the absolute God because God alone is worthy of being god, while Satan, who wants to be a god, is not worthy.1, 2, 3
Translators trapped by tradition refuse to render Quran 17:46 as it is and move the word alone, so his translation places it after the Quran.1, 2
Corruption prevails because of people's own works, and God makes them suffer the consequences so that they may return; he would render corruption as misery.1, 2, 3
Idol worshipers cannot accept the Quran's statement that Muhammad was astray before God guided him, and translators turned his straying into a virtue.1, 2, 3
As a chemist, Dr. Khalifa saw no business of his in translating the Quran and refused to publish a translation unless he had a definite sign to do so.1, 2, 3
Dr. Khalifa personally takes the Quranic initials and the mathematical code tied to them as a sign that his translation of the Quran is authorized by God.1, 2
God gave many signs that his translation, the 19th English translation, is the authorized and God approved English version of the Quran.1, 2, 3
Verse 22:15 does not tell the despairing to hang themselves, as translations claim; it tells them to turn completely to their Creator and sever dependence on anyone else.1, 2, 3, 4
The Arabic of verses 11 and 12 of this sura is the highest standard of Arabic literature and is untranslatable.1
Believers should read a good English translation of the Quran daily, not waiting for Ramadan or until they learn Arabic, so they know the schemes against the righteous.1, 2, 3, 4
Dr. Khalifa states that his English translation of the Quran is an authorized translation, though as a chemist he first felt he had no business translating it.1, 2, 3, 4
The significant questions are why we were created and the purpose of our life, not whether a single verse was translated right or wrong, since we have the Arabic text.1, 2, 3, 4
Traditional translations of verse 22:15 that tell a person to hang himself break the doctrine of Islam, which forbids suicide.1, 2
In Arabic one still says Islam and Muslim as the Quran does, but in another language such as Japanese the word must be translated to that language's word for submission or submitter.1, 2, 3, 4
Yusuf Ali did not translate 39:45 honestly, rendering God alone as God the one and only, which does not mean alone and does not disturb idol worshipers.1, 2, 3, 4
Dr. Khalifa chose to translate the verses of Sura 93 in a general way because traditional scholars would not accept that Muhammad was ever astray.1, 2, 3
Dr. Khalifa found the English translations of the Quran unsatisfactory because some distorted its basic doctrines, so he set out to translate the Quran himself for his own children.1, 2, 3
While translating, Dr. Khalifa pledged to God not to move from one verse to the next unless he knew exactly what it meant.1, 2
The word Salat comes from the Arabic root meaning connection or contact, so it is wrong to translate it as pray; a Muslim makes contact with the Creator five times a day.1, 2, 3
The Quran has come down unscathed over 1400 years with its verse numbers exactly right, whereas Yusuf Ali changed verse numbers to suit himself, which submitters would not dare do.1, 2, 3
Anyone sincerely concerned about a possible mistake in his translation should come to him directly to discuss it, and he will share any correction with everyone.1, 2
Every word of his authorized Quran translation is the word of God, yet each edition can become obsolete because God sends His message in stages.1, 2, 3, 4
Dr. Khalifa refused to publish his translation unless it was authorized by God, demanded signs, and received abundant signs that it was authorized.1, 2, 3
The word for God depends on the language: in English one says God, in Arabic one says Allah, because many Americans misunderstand Allah as a man or a rock.1, 2, 3, 4
The mathematical code exists only in the original scripture in the messengers' original languages, not in any translation.1
Because the code was discovered while this translation was being prepared, the translation carries divine approval, since by God's law no one attains anything from the Quran without authorization.1, 2
Dr. Khalifa's translation has human mistakes and updates, but none that mislead people, blaspheme God, or mistranslate verses critical to salvation.1, 2
Dr. Khalifa's translation is authorized by God, the Possessor of the Throne, who supported him with the discovery of the Quran's mathematical composition.1, 2
