* Quran/Qur'an inconsistency. We should use only one form. Qur'an is closer to the Arabic original, but that's all. I'd rather use Quran, because that is more natural for English and the articles are in English. People who don't speak Arabic have no idea what the ' means anyway, so why write it? And people who speak Arabic they know without any confusion, that Quran is قرآن. So the ' is not helping anyone. And Arabic also doesn't care when transliterating English words. Arabic doesn't have P and is not ashamed to use B instead (without any weird constructions trying to "emulate" P). So why should English be so submissive and use strange contructions (which no one understands anyway) to get closer to Arabic original? Also Qur'an is still wrong, because 1) the Eglish q is read as k, 2) The "a" is not long as in Arabic. 3) It's missing al- prefix. So a really precise would be something like al-'qur'aan. I suggest to change all occurrences of Qur'an to Quran and set it as a rule. | |||
