Sahih International

Sahih International is yet another translation of the Holy Quran. I found it while browsing some websites (many websites are utilizing this translation).

Initially, I was under the impression that it was named Sahih because of heavy reliance on Sunni “Sahih” (authentic) books. Wrong!. It is just a branding or marketing ploy. Putting the word Sahih on the cover doesn’t make the translation more authentic.

I am told that the translation is pretty decent. Though, I found a few badly translated verses.
