He doesn't read Arabian books
i do though
Nobody cares, Abu
But I do, I've read Cities of Salt, was pretty good
Patrician god detected***
Should I read the Quran? I heard it's relatively short. What's the best translation?
there are no accurate translations, the actual Quran is only written in arabic while the message of the Quran can be found in countless languages
Nice meme, but seriously.
Thanks user
>What's the best translation?
Pikthall is good, but a bit archaic.
Arberry is also good, as he tries to keep the rhythm. There are a few inaccuracies in his translation, though.
Aisha Bewley did a good translation.
The translation by Muhsin Khan and Muhammad al Hilali is also worth checking out, as the notes are references to relevant hadith.

I've not come across any Arabian works that seemed interesting. I am, however, a fan of Omar Khayyam's poetry as translated by Fitzgerald.
pure ideological thinking you dilettante
arabic is the only language you should be pedantic when it comes to translations because it's very hard to convey the actual meaning of something written in arabic to another language
>not reading superior persian literature
I embrace ideology because it serves me, these subhumans have never contributed anything of cultural value and that's that.
These guys were pretty good before they got pozzed by the Mohammedians however.
I wish the Persians would stop being cucked by Arab religion.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Persian's aren't arabs, and they get upset about it because they're aryans. I tend to clump all the desert peoples together, as I thought that was the gist of the thread.
Islam was what made Persians a great civilization, dunce.
I don't like Ayyyrabs but 1001 Nights is a must read
The Archimedean Dynasty made Persia great, Abdullah.
You gotta go beyond that user, do your homework.
Our Allah who art in Heaven, please open the eyes of these poor infidels who don't know Arabic lit is best lit. Inshallah.
>texans are now arabs
Great Allah help them please bless them.
