vasu ---read the koran-----doing so will not actually teach you
what islam is all about-----but keep this in mind----that which MUHUMMAD did----is always right. Muhummad married
children----he did not necessarily have sex with them as babies--------he waited----with his fave wife AISHA---he waited until she was nine. In shariah adherent countries----in general---there is no UNDER-AGE for a girl----but in current times there are official age of consent laws----that can be ignored "out in the sticks" ----or on the sly.
What English translation do you recommend? I used to own the J M Rodwell translation of the Koran. I think it was from the early 1800's. It had a lot of archaic words and I lost interest in reading it. I finally got rid of it. Reading the Qu'ran is something that is on my bucket list.
Yusuf Ali comes with EXTENSIVE explanations. I read PICTHAL long long ago ----probably when it was first
invented----if you read it-----avoid the Introduction by the author------it is idiotic. PICTHAL---an English guy ---was probably nuts----he credited Muhummad with social
innovations that were common in the world ---thousands of
years ago. I was so confused I had to consult the encyclopedia Britannica to find out when this GENIUS of INNOVATION lived------it turned out----not so long ago. But it is fairly straight forward english
