The Sahih International translation is an English Language translation of the Quran that has been used by Islam's most conservative adherents.[1] Published by the Publishing House (dar), dar Abul Qasim, Saudi Arabia, it is one of the World's most popular Quran translations.[2]
Translated by three American women, Emily Assami, Mary Kennedy, and Amatullah Bantley[3] it uses un-archaic language.[4] Notable conventions include rendering the God in Islam as Allah.[5]
The authors indicate by means of square parenthesis where "Sunni orthodoxy" requires words to be inserted.[6] The translation has become the main version used in English-language propaganda put out by ISIS.[1] For these reasons it has been defined as an ultraconservative translation.[7]
Ṣaḥīḥ (صحيح) may be translated as "authentic"[8] or "sound." [9]
