    I don't know what the BEST website is, but I did find a good one for the translation of the Quran
    http://www.muslimaccess.com/quraan/arabic/001.asp
    It lists the Arabic, a transliteration, and a translation into English.

    Can't help with the hadiths right now though.

    I don't know about best but you'll find one here in addition to some useful information. I think the site is hosted by a former Christian preacher. Go to http://www.shareislam.com/ and at the bottom of the page click on FREE. You'll find Hadith as well as the HQ.

    I cannot answer your question about a website but but if you search the net there are so many to evaluate.

    I suggest something different.

    I suggest to muslims and non muslims alike visiting a Mosque by appointment and having the director or Imam speak with you and your assembly about the Quran/Hadith until you can are satisfied with your questions answered.

    It might be that you and others with you will be gifted with free copies of the Quran/hadith in English or directed to muslim book stores where you can purchase it.

    After all wouldn't you prefer to read the widely distributed translations that are being read by English Speaking muslims to understand how they may react to what they read, and by making friends with muslims they learn about you and you learn about them.

    Don't get me wrong the net is great and has lots of data out there but I still believe in person to person transmission of knowledge and it builds diplomacy too.

    Ultimately if you learn Arabic you will get a better chance of learning more about the Quran from the Quran and related texts but it might take several years to really get enough command of the language to get full deep understanding of Quranic Arabic without a need of an interpretation but it will make you smarter in a sense and it will also open the doors to you for many employment opportunities.
