I have got three english translations of Qur'an. This is a shame that we don't have a popular farsi translation that you can take and read like any other book. The translations are either ugly or full of gramatically mixed up sentences. You would say whoever did these tranlations did not know enough either farsi or arabic.
The oxford calssic collection is the best one to read like a book but not for making refferences. The only problem with it is that the name of the sura is there only in english.

Prophethood?

I believe prophethood is a spiritual move starting from humans. Prophets are smart and thoughtful beings who started the move toward the meaning. Unlike the traditional believes, I believe the messengers of God picked up the torch by their own initiative and their conviction of the status quo being awfully wrong. I don't believe God chose any of his messengers. The difference between the successful and not successful religions goes back to how smart has been the corresponding prophet and how deep has been his spiritual experience.

Happy Ramazan
This is the beginning of Ramazan. I don't fast and I don't believe in God the way the majority of Moslems do. But from bottom of my heart I envy them. I miss the days that (not so long ago!) I thought there is a purpose for whatever happens. I still believe there is a God out there but I admit I know nothing about him.
