The Secret Translators

The ‘Sahih International’ translation is one of the most widely read English versions of the Qur’an. But unlike other famous translations like those by Yusuf Ali and Mohammed Abdel Saleem, the authors of the translation are rarely ever mentioned by name. Until one day, The Digital Sisterhood’s Cadar Mohamud hears a rumor about who actually wrote the mysterious translation: three white revert American women living in Saudi Arabia.
