It will be difficult to track down as some of the links are in Chinese (when searching)

Here's what I found regarding the name you suggest or are looking for.

Quote:
In 1986, making use of this version, King Fahd Holy Qur'an Printing Complex printed an Arabic-Chinese bilingual Holy Qur'an and presented it to various countries, making it the most popular version in China. In 1988, "Rhymed Translation of the Holy Qur'an" by Lin Song was published by the publishing house of the Central University for Nationalities.

In 1989, "Chinese-Arabic Bilingual Detailed Translation and Annotation of the Holy Qur'an" by Shams Tong Daozhang, an American Chinese, was published by Yilin Publishing House in Nanjing, and in 1999 its revised edition was published. Furthermore, Hui scholars have translated and published some other Islamic scriptures and academic works, among which what is worth mentioning is: Maimaiti Sailai translated the Holy Qur'an into the Uighur language and Abdul Aziz and Mohmaud translated the Holy Qur'an into the Kazakh language, these were published by Ethnic Press in 1987 and 1989 respectively.

To motivate academic research on Islam, a symposium presided in turn by 5 provinces and autonomous regions in the Northwest was held nearly every year with its first in Urumchi in November of 1980, and in Lanzhou of Gansu Province (1981), Xining of Qinghai Province (1982), Xi'an of Shaanxi Province (1983) and YinChuan of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (1986) successively. Each time the symposium would focus on a certain theme, and afterwards publish a collection of the thesis.

So it looks like that the Saudi version is the basis of the one you are looking for.

I thought it was not recommended to give copies of the Qur'aan which contain the actual Arabic text to non-Muslims.

I read that if the reader is not yet convinced it is the word of God, then there is disagreement whether being on tahara is obligatory.
I don't know much knowledge on the subject, but I can apply my thinking to it. I think if I only had one copy available to me that has Arabic translation, then I think it would be better to handed it to them, rather than not at all, in my opinion. Perhaps handing them one with an Arabic translation will spark there interest and make them curious about it's meaning. Maybe they will see the beauty in God's chosen words.

Again, these are just my thoughts on the topic. I don't enforce this on anyone.

Wa Allahu 'Alam

I offer my deep thanks, abu mohammed. That is the same copy I gave to my friend already, and it is the one she found hard to understand and relate to.

It seems that, like Arabic, the characters are made up of smaller parts, each of which have meaning.


[quote]If Chinese characters were pictures, learning to write ("draw") Chinese would be almost impossible. Fortunately, most characters consist of different smaller components that have an existence and meaning of their own. For beginners, it doesn't make sense to learn all components simply because some of them aren't very common. A certain type of components called radicals typically carries the meaning of a Chinese character, and learning the most commonly used radicals is very important in your attempt to make Chinese learning meaningful. This article gives you the 100 most common radicals, along with information about what they mean, what they look like, where they appear and what they are called in Chinese.

I let someone Chinese look though it. The Qur'an isn't posted on their website. Jazak Allahu Khairan for the idea

I found a physical copy of the Qur'an which is 2013 edition of Ma Jian, and apparently it's written in modern Chinese. I found a Kindle version to buy, but it is not available for purchase as of yet...

I did exactly the same thing but I couldn't exactly take the non Muslim Chinese guys word for it.

When he did his search, he kept typing Gulan or Guran or something similar. Khair, Alhumdulillah at least you are going in the right direction and almost there too.

She says there is not much variation from one Chinese translation to the the other, so she is sticking with the one she already has. Make dua'a that Allah will guide her please. I ask Allah to make all of us closer to Him.
