In fact, according to a lot of Muslims, if you're reading a translation of the Q'ran, you aren't really reading the Q'ran - it can only be properly read in Arabic. Since I have neither the time nor the inclination to learn Arabic (although I own a beautiful copy written in that language - gift from a friend), I'll have to muddle through with my English translation, which I doubt very much is going to stop Ahmed in Yemen from reading his.

So, in other words, Allah is creating obstacles that prevent people from acquiring the truth? It just so happens that Muhammad, being an Arab, spoke the right language. I don't like that my reading is invalid simply because I didn't have the good fortune of being an Arab. Doesn't make Allah seem very competent if only people who can understand classical Arabic can appreciate the Quran.
