Let us see how the following verses have been translated by two of the most prominent Islamic translators, Yusuf Ali and Marmaduke Pickthall, in comparison to the translation by Rashad Khalifa.Sura 2 verse 54Yusuf AliAnd remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Ye have indeed wronged yourselves by your worship of the calf: So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, and slay yourselves (the wrong-doers); that will be better for you in the sight of your Maker." Then He turned towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft- Returning, Most Merciful.PickthallAnd when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Ye have wronged yourselves by your choosing of the calf (for worship) so turn in penitence to your Creator, and kill (the guilty) yourselves. That will be best for you with your Creator and He will relent toward you. Lo! He is the Relenting, the Merciful.KhalifaRecall that Moses said to his people, "O my people, you have wronged your souls by worshiping the calf. You must repent to your Creator. You shall kill your egos. This is better for you in the sight of your Creator." He did redeem you. He is the Redeemer, Most Merciful.Chapter 22 verse 15Yusuf AliIf any think that God will not help him (His Apostle) in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself) off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages (him)!PickthallWhoso is wont to think (through envy) that Allah will not give him (Muhammad) victory in the world and the Hereafter (and is enraged at the thought of his victory), let him stretch a rope up to the roof (of his dwelling), and let him hang himself. Then let him see whether his strategy dispelleth that whereat he rageth!.KhalifaIf anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him.Chapter 38 verse 4-5Yusuf AliSo they wonder that a Warner has come to them from among themselves! and the Unbelievers say, "This is a sorcerer telling lies!"Has he made the gods (all) into one God? Truly this is a wonderful thing!"PickthallAnd they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them, and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard, a charlatan.Maketh he the gods One God ? Lo! that is an astounding thing.KhalifaThey wondered that a warner should come to them, from among them. The disbelievers said, "A magician, a liar."Did he make the gods into one god? This is really strange."Chapter 56 verses 77 - 79Yusuf AliThat this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable,In Book well-guarded,Which none shall touch but those who are clean:PickthallThat (this) is indeed a noble Qur'anIn a Book kept hiddenWhich none toucheth save the purified,KhalifaThis is an honorable Quran.In a protected book.None can grasp it except the sincere.
The author falsely claimed that he was a Prophet and he was an open enemy of Islam, his intentions were sinister and his translation bears his deceptive ideas and intentions, he has completely altered many of the meanings of the verses and given the exact opposite meanings, this book will completely mislead you in respect of the real Quran. Read Quran Made Easy: Complete English Translation instead for a authentic translation with commentary or English Translation of the Qur'an for a decent translation that is well accepted amongst Muslims. The author has even removed verses of the Quran that he does not agree with so be warned this is not a translation, it is meant to deceive and misguide.
I was atheist for years and I consider my self as one of the greatest sceptics ,but after reading this book.I cannot deny that God is a Fact.
Other English translations of the Holy Quran are too difficult to read. This is the only translation that is both readable and understandable from cover to cover. Millions of people don't speak Arabic.
The clarity and accuracy of Dr. Khalifa's translation can clearly be observed when comparing the following verses of the Quran against two of the more mainstream Islamic translators: Yusuf Ali and Marmaduke Pickthall.Sura 2 verse 54 ''Yusuf Ali: 'And remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Ye have indeed wronged yourselves by your worship of the calf: So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, and slay yourselves (the wrong-doers); that will be better for you in the sight of your Maker." Then He turned towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft- Returning, Most Merciful. ''Pickthall:'And when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Ye have wronged yourselves by your choosing of the calf (for worship) so turn in penitence to your Creator, and kill (the guilty) yourselves. That will be best for you with your Creator and He will relent toward you. Lo! He is the Relenting, the Merciful. ''Khalifa:'Recall that Moses said to his people, "O my people, you have wronged your souls by worshiping the calf. You must repent to your Creator. You shall kill your egos. This is better for you in the sight of your Creator." He did redeem you. He is the Redeemer, Most Merciful. '''Chapter 22 verse 15 ''Yusuf Ali:'If any think that God will not help him (His Apostle) in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself) off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages (him)! ''Pickthall:'Whoso is wont to think (through envy) that Allah will not give him (Muhammad) victory in the world and the Hereafter (and is enraged at the thought of his victory), let him stretch a rope up to the roof (of his dwelling), and let him hang himself. Then let him see whether his strategy dispelleth that whereat he rageth!. ''Khalifa:'If anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him. '''Chapter 38 verse 4-5 ''Yusuf Ali: So they wonder that a Warner has come to them from among themselves! and the Unbelievers say, "This is a sorcerer telling lies! '"Has he made the gods (all) into one God? Truly this is a wonderful thing!"Pickthall:'And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them, and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard, a charlatan.

'"Did he make the gods into one god? This is really strange." '''Chapter 56 verses 77 - 79 ''Yusuf Ali: 'That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable, 'In Book well-guarded, 'Which none shall touch but those who are clean: ''Pickthall: That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an 'In a Book kept hidden 'Which none toucheth save the purified, ''Khalifa: This is an honorable Quran. 'In a protected book. 'None can grasp it except the sincere.Modern day Islam has been severely corrupted and the majority of Muslims have completely abandoned the Quran in favor of manmade fabrications called Hadith and Sunnah that are outright condemned in the Quran(45:6, 4:51, 4,60, 42:21, 6:114). For instance ask the average Muslim what the first pillar of Islam is and they include the name of a human being next to God (3:18, 39:45, 63:1). Dr. Khalifa extracts the true meaning of the Quran being the worship of God alone. The fact God allowed him to discover the meaning behind the mysterious Quran initials that prefix 29 chapters of the Quran is further evidence that he was a sincere believer and had the correct understanding of the Quran. This finding is well documented and easily verifiable in the Appendix of this translation and can be evaluated by anyone who wants physical proof that the Quran is the undeniable scripture directly from God.
