The Qur'an

Fantastic translation. Good explanations in notes in English.

An excellent translation of the Quran from its original language form (Arabic) to English. The summary at the start of each surah, gives a useful overview to help put each surah into context every word is in everyday mordern English. It contains an excellent history lesson on the life of Muhammed (pbuh) and when the revelations started to appear to him. Each Sura(chapter)in the Qur'an has a short explanation of the name. Another good feature is the author makes it clear when the angel Gabriel is addressing the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) directly and I also welcomed the author's use of footnotes, which provide additional commentary on specific verses. This translation is easy to read and very easy to follow and get lost in. The result is a very readable and easy to understand complete translated version of the Quran. I would thoroughly recommend this for both Muslims and non-Muslims who want to develop their knowledge of Islam and the Quran the word of god. Thank you so much, peace to you.

a must read/own for every Muslim Also highly recommend for anyone vaguely interested in Islam. This is by far the most accessible and easy to understand translation of the Quran I have come across. Used by many mainstream and Sufi Islamic scholars today to teach a better understanding of the religion and help Muslims and others better understand the common tenets of the religion, misunderstood verses etc. Highly recommend this for both a) individual study and exploration, and also b) group or individual studies on a short to medium term or long term programme with a qualified scholar at a well respected institution (to avoid misconstruing the verses, taking them out of their context and misapplying them due to a misunderstanding over the meaning of the Arabic in that historical/revelation context). For those of us who struggle to access recommendations (I know I did a few yrs ago)...some institutions that use this text are CEI, Wilaya Trust, and, I think, Oxford University itself. However, if you are looking for a version of the text that also has the Arabic (side by side, for example) please note this does not have the original Arabic text. You'll want a separate Arabic/English Quran for that.

This is very different from the usual Qur'an translations, not so much in terms of meaning, but in how it is formatted. The individual Ayat (verses) are not separated by numbers but are written as superscripts instead. The reason why the author did this is to make the text flow better. He also used different paragraphs to show when the topic within a Surah (chapter) changes. Finally, he also used language that flows better and is clearer for today's audience. I can't tell how accurate it still is, but the text does flow. As always, I suggest everyone interested in understanding the Qur'an reads several translations. This one is a good addition, perhaps a good one to start with if you have been struggling with others.

Superb read. Great for understanding the literal meaning of the original text. I will Kia hi back and reread this wonderful book.

The best translation and would recommend to anyone looking for a Quran in English. Easy to understand and read 🤩

It's so well written. Easy to understand with explanations and backgrounds for each surah. I have read previous translations and this definitely is superior in it's relatability and use of modern language to help the reader understand. This edition helped guide me back to God and I will be reading this over and over again. Many thanks and blessings to the author

This book turned my life around and gave me new found hope and faith in Islam. As a Muslim girl growing up in the UK, just a few pages of this book has taught me more than I ever learnt during all my years spent in the mosque till my teenage years. The introduction is invaluable. It explains the style of the Quran and how to understand it, which is fundamental, as since it is translated from Arabic, it is easy to misinterpret the Quran. This is due to linguistic differences. Also, it puts the Quran into context and has many references to history, and explains the meaning of certain statements at the bottom of each page. I have only read the first Sura so far, but I can honestly say that I enjoy reading it and I am captivated everytime.. I am grateful to the author... I also really like that the author has read all sources, researched well and compiled this book with very high quality. The book no doubt of excellent quality, in terms of the language and sources. Take a leap of faith and give it a chance.. This is the best translation out there.
