Quranic Inspiration
For muslims, the Qu’ran is the Word of God. It is considered to be a miracle
of inspiration such as only God could produce. For muslims, the Qu’ran
is so holy that it cannot be truly translated. Only the original in arabic
is considered to be truly the Qu’ran. When an arabic scholar does his very
best to “translate” the Qu’ran, what he actually produces, in the minds
of muslim scholars, is an “interpretation”.
