Best Answer

according to Islam Quran is word of God and has many layers of meaning. and by translation only the first layer of Quran can be translated.

also Quran has the knowledge of past and future and many scientific predictions and many wonders and has very beautiful music when reciting and any more information that can not be transferred by translation.

and the translator can not translate the Quran in such a way that translation contain all knowledge of Quran.

Muslims believe:

Quran comparing other books is like God comparing human.
