Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it possible to read the Qur'an in a translated language?
Answer:
No, the Qur'an cannot be translated, absolutely not, because it is a miracle in its wording. It is not possible to produce speech in other languages that is like the speech of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Only the tafsir, the meaning, is translated. That is why they say "translation of the meanings of the Noble Qur'an" and not "translation of the Qur'an." The Qur'an cannot be translated because it is a miracle, and it is not possible to find a wording in any of the languages that approximates or matches the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
