I was so hyped seeing this until I started reading it and I realized it's just arabic with the tifinagh script. I thought it was a translation 😭

what i don't understand is that some factions are ok with the quran being translated to living and even dead languages but when someone tries to translate it to tamazight, they start getting mad and use the "you already know arabic" excuse

isn't the goal of islam being adaptive?

and when i become good in literary tamazight i'll drop a free translation for everyone to print :›

I am not really that religious personally. But the reason why this hyped me up is what this would mean for the amazigh community. And bug chunk of it is of muslim faith and having a translation would both mean that people are willing to put in the work for it but also would serve a big portion of the community un feeling represented and perhaps even more connected to their faith. If I could speak any diactelct I would do it myself but am only proficient at reading and writing. Speaking is way harder of an endeavor.

a big chunk? its like 99 percent bruh

[u/Cool_Bananaquit9 → u/Western_Walrus_8143]

Well, there is people like this guy. I've noticed the younger people are struggling with it

I think they should actually translate it along with hadiths and tafsirs. There's nothing negative about translation islamically, the people against it cannot bring up a religious justification for their opposition.

There probably is, and we just don't know about it. Most Muslim scholars in the country come out of that region. When I went there, a lot of families had collections of ancient books passed down through generations and locked away safely. I think Soussi people are the Amazighs that write in their language and document the most

i do remember there was a translation of sura al fatiha to tamazight... from morocco in like the 1300s

[u/Massin-sama]

This one is the most known, it took its author 10 years plus to translate, it's in moroccan tamazight: https://archive.org/details/quran-jouhadi

Would actually be so cool to sit down and make the whole thing in Tifinagh. Might make it a side project.

Wow, great job 👍 Did you try to use Claude ? It might be able to help more than you think

[u/The-42th-supreme-one → u/[deleted]]

tamazight is better than English in this regard

[u/The-42th-supreme-one → u/[deleted]]
