The Holy Qur'an/Al-Ankaboot
I have removed your changes to the "Al-Ankaboot" page, because that page is strictly for the official text, as published.

However, if you know where we can get our hands on the manuscript about Ankaboot, we would love to host a translation of that text. I look forward to your reply. John Vandenberg 22:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

hello, you are correct to remove the ankaboot story. This is NOT part of the quran and I did not mean for it to be that. This story summary is a common simplification that is told to children when parents explain the sura to them. It may be best to place it as a seperate wiki page. thank you


 * If you do want to post it as a separate page, please be sure to find a printed edition of this text. It is OK if it is printed in another language, but it must be old, so that it is not covered by copyright.  John Vandenberg (chat) 22:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
