Rohingya soon to have their first Quran translation
For the first time, the Rohingya Muslims will be able to listen to an authentic recitation of the Quran in their own language as an audio and video translation of Islam’s holy book is set to be released soon.
The translation will be released in installments with the first few parts expected to be shared in the coming Ramadan, starting from mid-April, according to the organizers,
The translation project is supported by Noor’s media company, Rohingya Vision and the Malaysia-based Dakwah Corner Bookstore (DCB).
It will use the Arabic recitation of the late cleric Sheikh Muhammad Ayyoub, and the translation into the Rohingya language was done by Qutub Shah.
Rohingya Muslims are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world, according to the United Nations. More than 800,000 people, a large number of women and children among them, have been forced to flee their homes in Myanmar after a brutal military operation.
