I would have to disagree. . . .  its not the best translation out there.

Assalamu alaikum.

The English version we have now in 16 volumes was translated from Urdu. Which one do you have in Pakistan. You will be surprised that a Jew confirmed to me that it is the best translation of the holy qur'an in English language.

Assalamu alaikum.

There is a documentary on the Life of Muhammad Rasulullah 'The Message" by late Mustapha Akkad. The 2 hour documentary could be available in some Islamic Bookshops in America.
