Translated by three American women, Emily Assami, Mary Kennedy, and Amatullah Bantley[2] it uses un-archaic language.[3]

Notable conventions include rendering the God in Islam as Allah. Sahih International has been used by Islam's most conservative adherents.[1] The authors indicate by means of square parenthesis where Sunni orthodoxy requires words to be inserted.[4] The translation has become the main version used in English-language propaganda put out by ISIS.[1] For these reasons it has been defined as an ultraconservative translation.[5]

Ṣaḥīḥ (صحيح) may be translated as "authentic"[6] or "sound." [7]
