Utilizing the best of contemporary innovation, she has facilitated Muslims spiritual development and religious growth for the twentyfirst century. Dr. Bakhtiar recently received an email which emphasized how her translation can transform the experience of a sacred text and invite one to both read and listen. It said Encountering your translation represented a real personal breakthrough for me regarding Islam, or at least Islam as approached through English translation of the Quran. The internal consistency and your attempted avoiding of subjective interpretation worked for me, and as I read more and more, what normally strikes the English only reader as disjointed and theologically fragmented in the Quran gave way to a kind of majesty, a kind of excitement (and unique sadness) I'd never encountered before in any other book. I felt that at last I'd gotten a glimpse of what the Quran means, or at least what it could mean, on a very personal psychological level...Finally, as I was reading to my eight year old at bedtime from your translation, she did something she'd never done before. She stopped me and took the book from my hands so she too could read aloud... There is real power to this translation... Thank you for this book. The audio DVD contains more than 20 hours of recording. It should be downloaded on your computer and transferred to any audio player or CDs made for your CD player.
