The Quran Beheld: An English Translation from the Arabic

Beautiful

Just got to say this is the best English language translation ever. . Its a difficult task to translate this sublime text but the many people who worked on this have produced a clear, flowing, poetic rendering and as close to the original arabic as we are ever likely to have. bless the beautiful people who undertook this magnificent translation. The binding and quality is absolutely top class as well. Really durable and finely printed and bound. Another important aspect for me is that Allah is always referred to as Allah and the 99 names (and not translated as simply "God", i find that unnecessary translation by other people so irritating personally) This has become my favourite qu'ran of the several English translations available. I LOVE IT !

Received the book the next day in excellent condition as pro.ised.

This translation is the best that I encounter so far. The English language is elegant and clear; the pages in both languages face each other allowing easy access and understanding. The author in collaboration with a master of Arabic has produced a detailed work with more than just a English to Arabic interpretation, he added the spirit of both languages. This book is a source of knowledge both for Muslims and students of comparative religions.

The introduction explaining the author's method is like nothing I've ever come across. It really delves into the intricacies of the Arabic language and how they impact the meanings of God's word. As a result the translation is unique and mesmerising. The pages and binding are also of the highest quality giving it a lovely feel

This translation of Quran is so impactful, next best thing after the actual Arabic text. This impacts the native english speaker's heart like never before experienced with any of the english translations. Sheikh Nuh has selected every single word with utmost care. As he himself said "the work which is 17 years in the making". Every english speaking household should have a copy of this. Highly recommended for non muslim readers also who are trying to approach Islam the very first time.

In one word 'Original'!

Excellent Quran translation but somehow the cover is glued on upside down?

And until now, I would have said that the Clear Qur'an (with Arabic-English text) was my favorite Qur'an. But this is by far my favorite translation of them all. I am the first person to tell people to learn Arabic and not to rely 100% on translations. But, there is something about this translation I really like. The wording is very descriptive, so much so that it helps create an image in the mind of the reader. I also love the large Arabic print. When I do read the Qur'an I mostly read it in Arabic, but I also enjoy looking over to the left side of the book to see how the translator's word choices when translating the text. Every time I look to the left in this book I am blown away. Even though I can translate what I am reading myself, I do not possess anywhere near the level of eloquence found in this translation. The overall quality of the book is also something to Behold. It looks and feels very premium and sturdy. Not a book that will easily fall apart after a few years. The print is nice and crisp on the page. Even someone with vision problems may find this easily readable. It includes a tassel to bookmark where you leave off. The Book is a bit big and bulky, so not ideal for travel. But for reading at home its perfect. This Qur'an translation is pricey, but I believe it is worth it.

Great translation and thoughtfully written

Grateful for this English translation that can be much easier followed than older English translations I have come by.
