Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a reliable tool to assess the quality of translation of The Ascendant Qur’an. Further, AI is not intelligent enough to assess the profound of message contained therein.
Any society, including one comprising a plurality of Muslims, will not meet the standards of being Islamic unless it is governed by the laws—moral, ethical and legal—ordained by Allah in the noble Qur’an.
The Ascendant Qur'an is a masterful English translation that transcends traditional approach to the understanding of the noble Book. The translator's mastery of both Arabic and English makes this a unique translation in the large body of English translations.
Islamic laws cannot be implemented in society when the Muslims’ hearts are not attached to Allah. This is a lesson that comes across most clearly from the Muslims’ 13-year struggle in Makkah. The emphasis was not on rituals—there were none—it was an ideological struggle.

The munafiqeen and a Christian priest established Masjid ad-Dirar, to rival Masjid al-Nabawi. Allah revealed to His Prophet to demolish it. Today the Muslim world is full of Masajid al-Dirar built by munafiq rulers. Will today’s Muslims follow the Prophetic sunnah.
Treacherous Arab tribal chiefs and reactionary Turkish nationalist, Mustafa Kamal drove the nationalist dagger deep into the heart of the Ummah-concept. The Islamic revolution in Iran gave hope to the Muslims but the sectarian clergy class is undermining Islamic revival.
The ulama are supposed to be successors to the Prophet. They can only perform this role if they follow the teachings of the Qur’an and the Prophetic Sunnah and Seerah. If they follow taghuti powers for short-term worldly gains, they betray the trust of the masses.
The Islamic movement is the natural platform to pursue and advance the Islamic agenda in all spheres of life: political, social and economic. It needs the building of trust but this will not be possible if Muslims play politics with Allah’s Deen.
Barring some unforeseen problems, South Sudan will hold its referendum on January 9, 2011 and almost certainly secede from the North. The largest country in Africa would have been dealt a terrible blow whose consequences will reverberate for decades.
