Patrician god detected***

Should I read the Quran? I heard it's relatively short. What's the best translation?

>>8791702
there are no accurate translations, the actual Quran is only written in arabic while the message of the Quran can be found in countless languages

>>8791710
Nice meme, but seriously.

>>8791732
Thanks anon

>What's the best translation?
Pikthall is good, but a bit archaic.
Arberry is also good, as he tries to keep the rhythm. There are a few inaccuracies in his translation, though.
Aisha Bewley did a good translation.
The translation by Muhsin Khan and Muhammad al Hilali is also worth checking out, as the notes are references to relevant hadith.

I've not come across any Arabian works that seemed interesting. I am, however, a fan of Omar Khayyam's poetry as translated by Fitzgerald.

>>8791859
pure ideological thinking you dilettante

>>8791732
arabic is the only language you should be pedantic when it comes to translations because it's very hard to convey the actual meaning of something written in arabic to another language

>not reading superior persian literature

>>8791923
I embrace ideology because it serves me, these subhumans have never contributed anything of cultural value and that's that.
>>8791931
These guys were pretty good before they got pozzed by the Mohammedians however.

>>8791931
I wish the Persians would stop being cucked by Arab religion.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Persian's aren't arabs, and they get upset about it because they're aryans. I tend to clump all the desert peoples together, as I thought that was the gist of the thread.

>>8791942
Islam was what made Persians a great civilization, dunce.

I don't like Ayyyrabs but 1001 Nights is a must read

>>8792054
The Archimedean Dynasty made Persia great, Abdullah.

>>8792059
You gotta go beyond that anon, do your homework.
