Qur'an <span title="translation/quotes............?">translation/quotes..........</span>

Question

Tomorrow in my world history class, we are discussing religion and I will receive extra credit if I can stand up in front of the class and preach for a while something similar to the religious article we had.

So would it be permissable if I used translated quotes from the Qur'an while doing the presentation/preach?

Because I remember reading a verse from the Qur'an that said it is not right to use the Qur'anic verses for your own needs.

Answer 1

I feel for yr class.

Answer 2

sure, but do it in a respectful way

Answer 3

It is permissible to qoute from a translated Qur&#039;ãn, provided that you do not interprent the Qur&#039;ãn according to own opinion!

Al-Hadith: &quot;Whoso interprets the Qur&#039;ãn according to his opinion, then he has indeed committed sin.&quot; (Tirmizi, Abu Daud)

Al-Hadith: &quot;Whoso interprets the Qur&#039;ãn without knowledge, let him seek his abode in the Fire.&quot; (Tirmizi)

In the Qur&#039;ãn there are two systems of meaning  - the &#039;Muhkam&#039; (fundamental) system of meaning and the &#039;Mutashabih&#039; (derivative) system of meaning.

Be careful not to distort the meaning of the Qur&#039;ãn with own logic and opinion!

The requisites for interpretations on the Qur&#039;ãn are for example:

knowledge of Ilme-Ma&#039;aani (rhetoric)

Knowledge of Sababi-Nuzool (reason of revelation of ayat)

Knowledge of Usoole Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence)

Knowledge of Ilme-Qiraat.

Ability to recognize which is &#039;Mubham&#039; - ambiguous, and &#039;Mujmal&#039; - brief or abridged.

etcetera... just a few necessarily requirements in passing authoritative interpretation and fully understanding the Qur&#039;ãn! (even a translated version as it is still the sacred Word of ALLAH(SWT).

Answer 4

well, if youre reading it in front of the class its like a form of dawa

so i think it&#039;ll be okay. . . .

not 100% sure tho  

Answer 5

Yes, you can , but you have to declare it is from the Qur&#039;an.
