Ginny,

I am planning to write a series on "'why  the three main religions", Islam,
Judaism and Christianity,  hopefully one of these days soon. It is something
i have meant to do but just have not had the time.
On a good translation of the Qur'an  to recommend, the newest translation of
the Qur'an and in my estimation the best yet is entitled:

"Interpretation of the Meanings of The Noble Qur'an In The English Language.
A Summarized Version of At-Tabari, Al Qurtubi and Ibn Kathir with comments
from Sahih Al-Bukhari"

A rather long title, but excellent as it gives you both the text, as well as
hadith,which is  the Islamic rules pertaining to all aspects of life , also
known as the Sunnah. I will make enquiries as to whether this translation
has been transcribed into Braille and let you know. Where did you see the
film?

<< Hello, everyone.  I haven't been able to read much of the discussion
 concerning Islamic websites, since I've been very busy these last few days.
      Could someone give me some online sources where I can get comparisons
 between Islam and Christianity, as well as other religions?  Also, could
 someone recommend a good English translation of the Koran?
      I'm asking because I went to see the movie The Message earlier this
 evening, and I'm very much intrigued.
     Also (and I'm not sure if anyone would know this) is there any way I
 could find out of the Koran has been transcribed into Braille.
     Thanks.  Sorry for all the questions.
 You may respond to me privately if you'd like...
