In
the Name of Allaah, the All-Merciful...
We
have received a number of requests from our brothers who speak
French, Spanish, and other languages for our permission to
translate Bakkah.net material into other languages. So, after
careful consideration and seeking advice from the people of
knowledge, we have arrived at the following policy:
-
1 - In general, we firmly advise
everyone who wishes to assist the spread of this noble da'wah
to learn 'Arabic well enough to translate from the original
Arabic sources.
-
2 - We firmly discourage anyone
from translating an English translation into another language.
Reflecting over the Christians and how they lost the original
message of their book (by translating from language to language)
should make clear to us the danger of not returning to the
original sources.
-
3 - We plan on including the Arabic
source material with each future update, in shaa' Allaah,
to accomodate those who may translate from the original Arabic
sources. We will also upload all the source material from
our previous updates soon, in shaa' Allaah.
- 4 - The
use of Arabic source material from www.bakkah.net does not
indicate a relationship with or an endorsement from www.bakkah.net.
-
5 - Those who use Arabic source
material from www.bakkah.net should give credit to us and
place a link to the original page on the website.
We
ask Allaah to grant success to all those earnestly seeking
to spread this Deen based on its proper understanding.
Your brother,
Abul-'Abbaas
