The Quran Beheld: An English Translation from the Arabic : Nuh Ha Mim Keller: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Great work and easily laid out and very clear meaning. Review: Beautiful translation. I've compared at least 15 major English translation and really none capture the power and poetic beauty of the Quran the way this new translation does. The meanings of the Quranic verses are communicated with precise accuracy. However, it is important to note that this is not a literal word for-word translation. The author derived the meanings of each verse from an intense study of Quranic exegesis (tafsir) and Arabic rhetoric (balagha) to capture the meaning correctly in translation, even if that means using extra words or descriptors to do so. There is also no commentary in the book to explain many of the interpretive choices made (though some Arabic commentary is provided online). Overall highly recommend. The hardcover version with Arabic on facing pages is even more highly recommended, with beautiful typesetting that makes it a joy to read.
