[quote]>>I wonder who decides the noteworthiness of Moiz Amjad's criticisms.

Critical evaluation :)

They were human and have made mistakes. Let us not treat them as perfect, that is all what I am trying to say. Sometimes their errors are so eggregious, that even Hadith from the Sunan sound quite apocryphal.

This applies to translation of Koran as well.

See any conventional Koran, see translations by Shakir, Pickthall, and Yusuf Ali. All three renditions lead to a contradiction in the Koran.

SMALL EXAMPLE
Verse 4:12 of the Qur’an accords brothers and sisters, a share of one-sixth from the inheritance of the deceased. Verse 4:176, however, offers a brother twice as much as the sister is offered:

The above error is not present in Ghamadi/ Moiz translation of the verses.

And this is just one example.
