Question

I would like to know what is the best English translation of the Quran? I would also like to know between the different madhab e.g. hanafi or salafi etc, will the translations change by much?

Answer

You may refer to someone else as we have not compared the translations.

How can they change the translation. It is one and the same.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
