Thanx..I will go through it later...but I noticed this early on:

The Holy Qur'an cannot be translated from Arabic into other languages, but the meanings of its verses are translated. The composition of the verses of the Holy Qur'an are just not mere letters and words in a sentence of the Arabic Language. As the verses of the Qur'an are read, a heart tranquilizing tone is also transmitted. Any one who hears the reading is affected by it regardless of the language they speak. In addition, the style of reading and rhythm associated with each passage gives the verse more meaning and a deeper feeling to the listeners. To explain to the reader the type of inspiration Muslims take from the Qur'an and its stories of the Prophets, we dedicated the Section: The Prophets of God: Source of inspiration, in Part II.

I take that to mean that there are no "translations" of the Koran permitted, only interpretations of its meaning.
