Assalamu Alaikum/ Hello!

I am a Ph.D. candidate doing my Ph.D. on issues related to Qur'an
translation.

I am doing a survey study to investigate the preferences and problems
of non-Arabic speaking Muslims and non-Muslims in reading Qur'an
translations and how they need the translations to be like to get the
message through. I need non-Arabic speaking Muslim as well as non-
Muslim respondents for my questionnaire.

I wonder whether anyone would like to participate in my questionnaire
or know potential respondents. If so, please contact me at
dsabry2007@gmail.com

 The questionnaire does not test information based on knowledge of the
Qur'an. Respondents NEED NOT be well-versed in the Qur'an or  its
translations to be eligible for answering the questionnaire. It simply
investigates their personal preferences as to the method of
translation required.

However, they should be really serious and interested because it is
not a typical questionnaire. It is a 10 page questionnaire that needs
some time and thinking but you learn something out of it. Respondents
can take one month for completion if needed though of course the
questionnaire takes but few hours.

 Respondents should have a good command of English to be able to
understand and answer the questions and should be depending on English
Qur'an translations. They should be above 16 and can be students,
scholars or laypersons.

Looking forward to participators -- non-Arab Muslims and non-Muslims.
:-)

As someone interested in Interfaith issues, I found this an interesting 
survey.
