The translation of the Qur'an by Ataollah Farhang Ghahremani is a free text-bound translation published in India by Amana Publications in 2007. It also has recently been distributed in Iran. According to the translator, the new translation has been based on the translations of Ayati, Payandeh, and Qomshei. The bias in this translation is in favor of the Sunnis, especially in the verses related to Ahl al-Bayt. The translator has done his best to render the meanings of the verses into fluent Persian, making the translation somewhat consistent with the modern language. However, there are shortcomings in the translation, including inappropriate word-selection, improper use of parentheses, unnecessary omissions and additions, spelling, punctuation, and layout errors, grammatical mistakes, textual inconsistency, and mistranslations in some verses.
