Message: A Modern Literal Translation of the Quran

During the seventh century A.D. a man from the lineage of Abraham, known by the name Mohammed, was given the overwhelming task of being God's messenger and delivering His words to humankind. It is these words that have caused a complete social revolution creating an empire that led the world and contributed to an ongoing legacy in science, mathematics, and medicine. However, with the progression of time, and even though its words were continually recited, the essence of the message became lost to the people until the point where the spark and meanings that had been an inspiration to generations simply became empty words? This tragedy has been carried with us all the way into the 21st century whereby the bulk of 1.2 billion people who claim to be the inheritors of God's words are struggling with poverties, wars, economic set-backs, and social injustices? Perhaps it is now time for us to once again study and apply the words of the Almighty as they deserve to be studied and applied. Welcome to the path of God Alone.
