The Koran claims for itself that it is 'mubeen', or 'clear', but if you read it, you will notice that every fifth sentence or so simply doesn't make sense. Many Muslims—and Orientalists—will tell you otherwise, of course, but the fact is that a fifth of the Koranic text is just incomprehensible. This is what has caused the traditional anxiety regarding translation. If the Koran is not comprehensible—if it can't even be understood in Arabic—then it's not translatable. People fear show more that. And since the Koran claims repeatedly to be clear but obviously is not—as even speakers of Arabic will tell you—there is a severe contradiction. I'm not buying this book. show less

Dieses Buch enthält den nakten Text des Korans in bester deutscher Übnersetung. Angemerkt sollte werden, dass keine Übersetzung je an die Wirkung der Original Schrift in der Original Sprache heran kommen kann. Doch wer über den Islam sprechen will sollte wenigstens dieses Buch gelessen haben.
Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um den Original Text des Korans in deutscher Übersetzung. auch wenn eine übersetzung immer hinter dem Original stehen bleibt, kann ich leider nur Deutsch und muss deshalb mit dieser Übersetzung arbeiten.
