Question

I was gifted a Quraan Sharif with English translation which has been published in Malaysia by Karya Bestari. Please comment on its authenticity.

Answer

We are not aware of the publishers and the translators of the aforementioned Quraan. Precaution demands that you should rather use the translation of an Aalim who’s known and follows the Sunnah. Muhammad bin Sireen Rahimahullah mentioned:

“Indeed, knowledge is an integral part of Deen, therefore be careful whom you take your religious guidance from.”
