aware, however, of the translation you are getting. The majority of
sites carry the M.H. Shakir translation. The widely accepted Yusuf Ali
and M.M. Pickthall translations can be had at <ftp.mcs.kent.edu> and at
<cs.bu.edu>. Islamic and Arabic SOFTWARE, along with sounds, graphics,
and documents, are also available via FTP. The above-mentioned sites for
the Qur'an are also the best sites for software. An excellent for
Islamic and Arab GIFS is <liasun3.epfl.ch>.]
