Question Regarding Resources

[Truth_Seeker_2]

First, please note that I am presently not a member of the Islamic religion, so if I posted something that is not "adab" or "halal", please forgive my extreme ignorance.

Next, I tend to read a lot before making any type of important decision. And the chosing of one's religion is one of, if not *the*, most important aspects of one's life.

I have found a few English translations of the Holy Quran (Pickthal, Shakir, Yusfali, and Al-Hilali) and some Hadith(s) (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Malik's Muwatta, Qudsi, and a partial Sunna Abu-Dawud).

Lastly, my question is "can I find an online English translation of the full Abu-Dawud, Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Sunan al-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Maja"?

Thanks, in advance, for your answers.

I am obviously in the wrong Forum.

Can someone direct me to a Forum that cares about seekers and new converts?

hi welcome to the forum...

What exactly will you gain by getting a transaltion of the hadith collections?
Secondly do you feel that your in a position to interpret hadith from english , without a sound grounding in the Quran?

The Quran english translation can be accessed here www.islam.org ( cick on Quran tab )

I don't know if it is what you are looking for.

Hello. The on-line translations are not great and contain some errors. In addition, as far as I know the other collections you mentioned are not available in complete form on-line in English.

If there is any specific issue you would like to discuss before making your important decision perhaps we can help you here.

All the best.
