INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES TRANSLATED VERSION OF THE KORAN
Purwokerto, Sept 17 (ANTARA) - The Indonesian ministry of religious affairs has officially launched a complete translation of the Koran and explanations of its passages that have been compiled in the last five years.
Religious Affairs Minister Maftuh Basyuni in his speech at the commemoration of the descent of the Koran at Baitussalam Grand Mosque here on Wednesday said the compilation of the translations and explanations of passages of the Koran had been done by a team of the ministry.
"The process of compilation lasted five years with six sections of the Koran being completed every year. Thank God this year the full translation of the 30 sections of the Koran and the explanations had already been published," he said.
He said the translation and explanation of the passages of the Koran were put in 10 volumes.
The launching of the translated version of the Koran was marked by the handing over of the book to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during the commemoration along with the First Lady.
Minister Basyuni said the translation and explanation of the Koran were very important for the people to understand the contents of the Koran for implementation in their daily life.
