It is an obvious bias. The Qur'an rarely comes without the original Arabic text, the reason for this we all know. adioolayi: This is invalid, whether in Chinese or Constapatese, the Qur'an is the Qur'an. More so, are you implying you dont know the Bible was only translated to English? And that the various other versions in other languages make the quoted count? It is mallice, it takes nothing away from the Islam. 3 Likes |

olukenzo:Well, u re right, d Bible was translated to English so we all can av access 2 it. BIBLE has bin translated to many languages both in print nd online so everyone can understand it without havin to learn some foreign language, y cnt we say d same about d quran? |

tonychristopher:You are not making total sense! Are you aware of the number of people that owns a Quran in Nigeria alone? Virtually every muslim owns a Quran and language has for once never been a barrier. Do you know how many people that speak arabic? Islam is the second most popular religion in the world and so it is to their holy book 3 Likes |

Ellemuah: Your comment is borne out of ignorance. The Qu'ran is translated to so many languages, including Hausa and Yoruba, and it is widely available on and offline. I even alluded to this in the post you quoted. Enough of this, like I said, the recognition or otherwise of the reach of the Qur'an by some people does not take away anything from Islam. @OP, I have read 1, 3, 4, 6. 1 Like |

Lordave: So. Thank Lord you said second Are you not ashamed that you pray to your god in Arabic as an African You should be ashamed that your language is too impure to be used as a mode of prayer That's is the height of inferiority complex You can't even read your so called koran in your own language Shame on Islam and African Muslim ..they re bunch of disgrace and disappointing people 5 Likes |

olukenzo:Saw nofin like that, u said ''bible'', anyways, dnt know mch about quran but i know its popularly recited in Arabic here in Nigeria. Its just funny wen i see muslims force their kids to mosque jz to learn d language (i av seen pple beat deir kids to mosque in d evening, av bin to d mosque wen i was young nd i was suprised d cleric uses cane on d kids) all dis jz 4 a forieign language? wen it can be easily read in english/yoruba or any other language d person understands. since it has bin translated to english nd yoruba, y cnt dey use d yoruba version in mosques since most muslims in Nigeria are yorubas? Or what? They believe Allah will answer/accept deir prayers faster wen recited in arabics? **MODIFIED** 3 Likes |

Ellemuah: olukenzo: So you don't miss it again, see the bolded. The Qur'an is translated and transliterated into so many languages, I thought we cleared that? It just almost never comes without its original Arabic version/meaning --for obvious reasons. Funny, you don't have any issue conversing with me in English which is not both of our mother tongue. I can't even begin to imagine the effort you must have put in to achieve your level of English proficiency, lol. Anyway, the prophet was not learned (he couldn't read nor write) and Arabic was his language, so he had to be taught in Arabic. On a lighter note, I hope you won't ask me why the prophet (Peace Be Upon him) had to be Arab. Yes, clerics in Nigeria use cane, teachers in Nigerian schools use cane...Nuff said. I see your notice of modification. Here: I don't know where you came about the part you wrote about most Muslims in Nigeria being Yoruba, but I doubt that. Regardless, Arabic is the language of the prophet (PBUH), of the Qu'ran and of Islam. Hence, we all pray in unison, from Abuja to Abu Dhabi to Athens. 5 Likes |

This list is faulty. First, there books on myriad topics. Religious, academics, inspirational, history, politics, food etc. But I can only see one religious book. The holy books of Islam, Hinduism and Buddahism should have made the list. Secondly, any book that has stayed on the academic curriculum of populous countries like China,India, Indonesia, USA, Brasil, Nigeria etc shud be on this list. Thirdly, how come most of the books there are story books What happened to other topics, I hear cook books sell. |

tonychristopher:this is not the reason for the thread! You guys are just naive of the history and reformations that happened in christianity hence the silly arguments and mentality. Do you guys know what it took to have the bible translated to many languages? Do you know how many living bodies were burnt and dead bones scattered and pieced on river by Pope and the Roman catholics to have it translated to English and other languages? |
