Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that the book is misleading and may bring negative consequences for Islam and Muslims. Using "Bacaan" as a title for a translation of the Quran is regarded as a clear distortion. The translations are too brief and literal, omit the Arabic text, follow the views of those who reject Hadith, and rely on unreliable sources. The book is also judged to defile the sanctity of Islam and divide the Muslim community. Printing, importing, publishing, selling, distributing and possessing it are absolutely prohibited throughout Johor. This fatwa is not gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
