What is considered the best English translation of the Koran?
Is there an equivalent to the King James Bible for the Koran?
I’m curious

Inappropriate?Hey Thor - I have a translation by A. Yusuf Ali that was made in the 1940s, by a Pakistani/Indian chap.
The edition I have provides a pretty good translation, but more importantly copious footnote and references.
Try http://www.amazon.com/Quran-Text-Tran...=pd_sim_b_1_img/105-0050284-7977262?ie=UTF8&qid=1189860383&sr=1-2
I’m confident

Inappropriate?There isn't really a 'best' translation but are a few main ones. Some will be easier to understand than others depending on the reader and the part you're reading, point of view : ) etc.
Yusuf Ali
Muhsin Khan
Mohammed Marmaduke Pikthall (apparently used by many reverts/converts)
these are the main english translations
I’m excited

Inappropriate?The best emglish Translation of the Koran is The Translation done by Dr Rashad Khalifa. You can get a download copy online. It is called The Authorized English Translation Of The Quran, Also named The Final Testament. www.submission.org
