Most Accurate Translation Of The Quran
The Arabic word “ متقین ” can be translated as those who fear of God or those who are God consciousness . This fear is not in the connotation of fright or terror, but it refers to a strong sense of caution or concern about one’s actions in reference to the outcome. It can be further understood in the sense of knowing one’s boundaries with respect to God and trying to follow a strict discipline to respect those boundaries. For further understanding of taqwa please watch the following video from 1:44 to 4:02 : https://youtu.be/4vlRRk442_Y?start=1m44s With that said, any translation that you find easy to follow shall suffice in order to comprehend God’s message. Al-Bayan translation is very good, both in Urdu as well as English. I also like Muhammad Asad’s English translation.
Just dropping a few closing remarks to end this thread. Thanks @codename.AJK , @faisalharoon , @Afia . I have decided to go with Ghamidi Sahab’s plain Urdu translation after reviewing all the threads (and sub-threads) mentioned above. That seems like the best first source I can build my foundation on. It is at the sweet perfect spot, covering minor gaps found in most translations without entering into tafseer mode. Jazak’Allah
