English Translation of the Meaning of Al-Qur'an: The Guidance for Mankind (English Only)

I have a copy of this already, I bought another for someone else. It really is one of the best English translations around. Very easy to read and understand as it uses modern English unlike other translations. It has introductory section going through each surah and the why and how it was revealed. The writing in Arabic is very clear. Its a nice big hard copy and looks very beautiful. It was recommended to me by a Quran teacher who has an extensive collection of different translations of the Quran from around the world and he named this one as the best one, when you read it and I think you will also agree. Also, a nice gift. I bought it for a friend and he was really chuffed. Shame you cant get it the UK though I had to get it shipped from the US, but it was worth it!

i have gotten 3 english Quran's. each versions has different wording or each version. this one has been a better understanding for me. it also has history points and much more

I am doing a comparative study between the thre Holy Books and I'll tell you what: i always look forward to reading this book. The pages are bright and beautiful, the transaction is wonderful and easy to relate to and the text itself is very moving.However, as with any book the is the foundation of religion so far I have found one mistranslation in terms of not taking any Jews or Christians as your protecting fellows. The Qur'an plainly states that if a person is Jewish or Christians and believes in God and is a good person then they are ok. The issue is concerning non-believers. In the mistranslated line the translators have not included the word "some" as in: "some Jews and Christians should not be taken on as protecting friends" obviously only if they are non-believers.Otherwise this version is fantastic and I enjoy it very much!

This Quran is packed full of so much information, it will take months to go through it. Other than the Study Quran by Harper Publishing, I have yet to find a Quran as good as this one. Well worth the money, you can not go wrong buying this Quran (I payed extra to get it sent to Canada where I live, it was well worth it. I may send for another one to put in my library.).

This is by far my favorite English translation of the Qur'an. The clear modern English makes the meaning more accessible to native English speakers, and the grouping of verses into paragraphs makes for easy reading and the main point(s) of each paragraph is summarized in the outside margin. The grouping into juz (30ths) makes for easy reading during Ramadan. The introductory opening to each sura gives the reader background information about the chapter.This is the best presentation of the meaning of the Qur'an for dawah (outreach) to non-Muslims, and. It makes a great gift for new reverts as well. My father-in-law likes to follow along while listening to J.D. Hall's reading of this version online.

Excellent translation but Amazon says it is hardback and it is not - - it is a paperback with the cover coated in a flimsy plastic film.

Love my book

I got the Quran in less than $7. It was used but was just like new. I saw no signs of wear and tear. I am happy about my purchase. I believe it is a very good and fluent translation of the Quran and I recommend it to both Muslims and Non-Muslims.
