The Qur-aan I

The Qur-aan can not be translated. The result of any translation is not the glorious Qur-aan, that inimitable symphony the very sounds of which move men to tears and ecstasy. It is divided into 30 Parts, 114 Suuras (chapters), 558 Sections and 6666 Verses.

As to the Qur-aan's translations in general, to be frank they often fail to convey the real sense, spirit and delicacy of the original, mainly because English terms are more or less inadequate to express the basic concepts of the Qur-aan, such as "Abd" and "Rab, Rahmaan" and "Raheem, Ahad" and "Samad" and several others.
