To actually answer your question OP, the Arberry and Pickthall translations are the ones you should choose. Avoid Sahih and Haleem.

In my opinion it isn't that bad but a lot of people say the translation is a bit off and I can see where they're coming from. I wouldn't use it if I were you. Picrel is accurate minus the bit on Haleem imo.

Do you already know another semitic language? If not, I think you'll give up learning arabic. Just read a translation.

Maybe it was to good to be true, the task was to have a thesis related to some new age article about how eastern spirituality doesn't use western truths or some bullshit. I thought it'd be funny to somehow warp it into bashing muslims but also absolve them for murdering gays

>Also, they are ALL convinced that western women are worthless whores

They are sort of right but this really activates a tribal defense reflex in me, because I can tell when I meet them IRL(lot's of Arab exchange students at my college) they have no respect for our culture or people. Prior to meeting and studying Islam I thought I would sympathize because I'm right wing as well. But Islam seems to just be an Arab expansionist ideology packaged as Abrahamic religion. The fact progressives are so ignorant makes me rage and has caused a couple power level slip ups.

Sup kafirs, I've made a Quran recommendation chart since there seems to be some interest in it. Hope it's helpful.
