It is not a translation. Ibn Kathir was a scholar from almost seven centuries ago, and he wrote a tafseer (commentary) on the Qur'an. That commentary has been translated into english by Darussalam publications (available in 10 volumes) but for the translation of the Qur'anic verses they just used the Hilali-Khan translation.

So there is no such thing as a translation by Ibn Kathir, he wrote a tafseer, not a translation.

As for the best translations, you can find them listed here:

Hi

Not necessarily

I don't know arabic, but i've read many books in english explaining the qur'an, and there are numerous commentaries in the qur'an. I think the only thing non-arabs lose out on is the miracle of the language, which even today is making arab-speaking christians,who hear the qur'an being recited on the TV, revert to Islam. It's meant to be so pure and perfect, that's what is motivating me to learn it right now

Peace:

Man, why is this so hard to understand?? :?

Different translations: Lets take the word "Hello" Translated into French, "Bonjour"; Russian, Privet or Zrasvoydia. Ok, TWO translations for the english word "Hello". However, notice in Russian I have used 2 words, both are a greeting, both used as "Hello", both are correct. "Privet" is the most common, whereas "Zrasvoydia" is normally used between strangers as they pass. Regardless, both are a greeting of "hello" in translation and both are correct.
