We havepeople from many racial, ethnic, national or linguistic backgrounds and wealso have Muslims from various Madhahib praying together in the same Masajid. It is important that our Khatibs inform the communities about the Qur'an andSunnah, but they should also tell our people about the variety and diversityamong us and in our Madhahib and teach Muslims to be tolerant of each other. Otherwise we shall divide ourselves more and create difficulties for ourourselves and for our next generation. I have a Qur'an with the translation of Dr. Muhsin Khan, not the YusufAli's translation. There is no perfect translation.
All translations have some good points and some weaknesses.
His is one of the earliest Englishtranslations done by a Muslim. His translation also has a brief commentary,which is generally very good and useful. However, in the translation of theQur'an he used some old classical English style. This style is not much inuse today and our young people and common public find it very difficult tounderstand and appreciate. Dr. Mohsin Khan's translation is in simple English which is easy tounderstand, but its problem is that in many places he has put his owninterpretation also within the translation of the ayat.
