Support us in producing an accurate translation of the Quran in Setswana (language of Botswana). Most of the population of Botswana (2.6 Million) is ignorant about Islam or they have a biased opinion as presented by the media. The few who did get to learn about Islam, among them several have accepted Islam alhamdu Lillah.
The translation will focus on interpretation of the meaning rather than word to word translation. This will enhance readability thus having greater impact on the reader.

Most people when approached and told about Islam do not disagree with what they are told but insist they need to read more about it. The lack of accurate translated Quran copies is the biggest challenge to provide to these individuals. Undoubtedly bringing the message of Islam and its Book in the local language will give a huge boost to the dawah locally and help in people learning and eventually entering into Islam.
The need for a translation of the Quran to Setswana is vital for the Da’wah in Botswana and neighbouring South Africa where Setswana is spoken in places such as Mafikeng.
Whoever points others towards doing good will have a reward like that of the one who does it.” Narrated by Muslim, 133.
“By Allaah, if Allaah were to guide one man through you, that would be better for you than having red camels [the best kind].” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3701; Muslim, 2406
