Title: textual manipulation
Review: See, for instance, 28:32 (Surah Al-Qasas), the translation that is given here begins with: "Take off your shoes, for this valley is sacred ... ". Now 32nd verse of Surah Al-Qasas does not begin like this (see any other translation to confirm it, or the arabic original). These words are actually taken from 20:12 (Surah Taha). This is criminally misleading, and changes the character of Quran. He could have added the reference to the detail regarding the shoes in a footnote, instead of misleading the readers. I don't know how the author/translator justifies this, but I would call it nothing more than an unfair textual manipulation that does not befit any translation of any text, much less a sacred scripture.I have not read the rest of the translation, and do not intend to after reading this.I would give it 0 stars if I could.
