  Actually, Yusuf `Ali only used the word God in his translation. The new 
revised edition is his translation modified by a "panel of scholars". It was 
done long after his death. May Allah be pleased with his work, with theirs and

  I am not here taking a position on the Allah/God debate, just stating a fact.
