The Meaning of the Glorious Koran
Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
The Koran (Qur'an) is regarded by Muslims as the word of God (Allah) as revealed to the prophet Muhammad. It is divided into 114 chapters (surahs), arranged roughly by length. This version, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran, is a widely used English translation of the Koran by a Muslim Englishman. Many Muslims, however, including Pickthall, believe that true translations of the Koran from the original Arabic are impossible, and see translations into other languages only as useful interpretations.

Nowhere in the Koran does it talk about non-binary oppression of BIPOCs by Donald Trump. I can only conclude Islam is false. The true lord and Savior is Uncle Joe Bidden, who will free us from the oppression of rich old cissy white males.
