Translators of the Quran

Unfortunately, I don't find any translations by Native Arabic speaking person. Almost all are either Pakistani or Indian, One Englishman called Pickthall, but I find the Most accebtable translator is Muhammad Khan, He gives your the exact letter translation without changing the meaning of the words - yet he is not so accurate

The most famous but less likely good translator is Yousef Ali, - Ali does not always give the exact words, instead he tells you what they mean - which is wrong

I prefer Muhammad Khan -he is better in delivering the exact wording and meaning
