AuthenticTranslations.com is a free service intended to
offer and support the translating of Arabic religious material
relating to the orthodox interpretation of Islam. This site is focused
towards English-only speakers who would like resources on a few topics
in Islam translated from reliable and authentic sources. We try to
focus on material that may be hard to come by for the English-speaker or
material that has never been translated before.
As such, AuthenticTranslations.com presents itself as a representation
of the Islamic creed and methodology known by various names, among
them: (the creed and methodology of) Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamā'ah,
al-Salaf al-Sālih, al-Salafiyyah, or simply "Muslims."
This site in no way represents all aspects of the Islamic religion. It is neither
intended to defend nor debate every possible Islamic perspective; we do not
have the capability or the willingness to engage in this.
Having been established in 2007, a primary goal of
AuthenticTranslations.com is also to present an unbiased interpretation
of mainstream Islamic rulings pertaining to one of the greatest threats to Islam
and the world today, Islamo-Fascism and terrorism. For this, an entire
resource has been dedicated to the translation of Arabic material
citing unaltered, unapologetic, yet orthodox Islamic perspectives of
atrocities like those characterized today as "Islamic terrorism,"
often by ignorant or less-than-sincere people.
In attempting to achieve our objectives, we realize the following
consequences may also result:
-
In clarifying our interpretation of some Islamic rulings (specifically those
against terrorism), we realize this may involve
criticizing certain movements, organizations, or individuals.
-
We realize as well that mistakes in translations, interpretations, or otherwise
may result. In such cases, we ask for any concerned feedback.
-
While every effort will be made to identify the integrity and accuracy
of the original Arabic materials we select, it is possible that we post
translated material that we later discover is unreliable or inconsistent
with our goals. In such cases, translations may be removed.
In short, you, the readers, should try and determine how valid our
representations are of the goals stated here. We welcome any sincere,
constructive feedback.
