Unlike most translations which try and convey the meaning of the Quran's Arabic this one translates each word by word exactly into English from Arabic.

I had a debate with a Muslim online who was trying to convince people that "Hadith" means "silly story" instead of "narrative/word/message/tale/etc." and was able to reveal the truth that "Hadith" does not mean "silly story" unless a modifying adjective word is used on the word "Hadith", as in "silly Hadith".  Their point was to convince people that Hadith were forbidden by the Quran, which is obviously not true since nearly the entire Muslim world, except for Quranists/Quran only Muslims, follow Hadith [Sunni alone, which are 90% of the worlds Muslims, call themselves Sunni because they follow the Sunnah as well as the Quran, and the Sunnah is 2/3 Hadith and 1/3 Sira!]  Incredibly, our debate was on Taqiyya not being a part of Islam [I was being Taqiyya'ed on the subject of Taqiyya]!!

This one juxtaposes 31 translations of the Quran at once, chapter by chapter.

This one provides a large amount of the Sunni Hadith [including Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim which are the two most important ones/valid ones, the former being the most authoritative].  I am still looking for one that houses translations of the Shia Hadith.

"The difference between a Jewish liberal and a Jewish conservative is that when a Jewish liberal walks out of the Holocaust Museum, he feels, "This shows why we need to have more tolerance and multiculturalism." The Jewish conservative feels, "We should have killed a lot more Nazis, and sooner."" - Philip Klein
