And elaborate; why exactly is it thought that that Qur'an is the closest to the original Qur'an or why it is the most widely accepted.
U can use any Qur'an to learn the message. I know it's not what ur asking for, but the truth is what the truth is. The Arabic is the original language which is unchanged. The English and all other languages in which it is translated are opinions from translators as to what word to use. For example The Arabic words Ar-Rahman which is one of the 99 attributes of Allah Almighty is translated by some as The Most Gracious, and by others as The Merciful Benefactor, where by others The Beneficent. So these are 3 different English terms used for one of the attributes of God. They are optionally used by translators but as u see they all are synonymous in meaning with one another. The Arabs in the time of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh were vain of their knowledge of poetry, linguistics in using certain words that had a hundred different meanings for the same word, their knowledge of mathematics, and also their knowledge of science and astronomy. So Allah revealed this Qur'an in the Arabic language in which gives His eternal message, in which the chapter verses rhyme, and which contain many miracles of mathematics, linguistics, science and astronomy to show only Allah, The One Who is All-Knowing, could produce such a scripture that humbles mankind's vanity of that which they thought they were so knowledgeable about.
