Quran: English Translation. Clear, Pure, Easy to Read, in Modern English

Giving it five stars because I am reading it every night and just at a time right now where I want some Qur'an translation that is easy to read. This is easy to read whilst still maintaining the integrity Qur'an translation demands. It does not have footnotes and headers and all of the other fancy things. It is a basic translation. I don't think this should be a Muslim's only guide. But a resource for sure.

Reading the Quran is a great experience that you will not regret. This is very topical and applicable to our world today. It is exciting and an interesting book.Whatever your views are on Allah or Christ, the Quran is the playbook to the Muslims as the Holy Bible is to Christians.Get the facts of their teachings, nor rumors. The Quran teaches on the beginning, early Adam and Eve, their sin or error, and and on and on, and who Allah is. Who Muhammed is. Their demands on every aspect of life ez.A must read.

I needed this for my studies. It's in clear English on par with the Christian Bible's ESV version. As far as the mistakes on Christian"Trinity Doctrine" in Sura 4 and 5 as well as many others, an understanding of Islam is very needed in today's world. Sura 2:191, 8:12, 9:6, 9:29+30 are also great points to consider. As far as being "inspired" the reader should make their own choice, but remember after Mohammad's death, Uthman gathered the Quarn's parts he felt were correct and BURNED the rest. Let the reader make their own thoughts...well worth the read however.

Curious about religions in general, but realizing that I knew nothing about Islam, I fund that reading the Quran was very educational and I'm amazed at how ignorant most of us in the USA are about this very widely held religion. Of course, not knowing anything about Islam does not keep great numbers of people from pontificating about how their own religion is superior.

sura 4:82 stresses that there are no discrepancies in the quran - and the muslim believes it to be so and without error.this translation though contains discrepancies although it claims to be 'clear, easy to read, [in] modern english and pure.in other words the cover contradicts the content EXCEPT if 'pure' is a reference to a good translation [discrepancies included], in which case 'clear' and 'easy to read' are downright misleading and false.examples of discrepancies include:is allah in charge of belief?6:12 vs 10:100satan or allah misleads?4:119-120 vs 16:93persecute/fight unbelievers [read christians and jews] or forgive them?9:29 vs 45:14determination of human sex53:45-46 vs 75:38-39what to do if parents are not muslims?31:15 vs 9:23only soul or body and soul in paradise?17:98/75:3-4 vs 31:28does allah need mankind or is it the other way around?51:56/67:2 vs 35:15evil and good - both from allah?4:78 vs 4:79mohammad initially politically correct against non-muslims, then radical!3:20 vs 8:38/39

It will make you more open in your faith . I am Catholic and i am from the Tribe of Reuben.

It is easy to read but because it isn't my religion (I am LDS) and I want an understanding of another religion it is a bit hard to understand. Patience it what I need. I am trying to study all religions so that I am more knowledgeable in that area.

This was needed as a reference book. I have no interest in a religion that calls for the killing of unbelievers. It's insane. That being said, the book is quite amazing just as a work of literature. I would hope people would not use this as a basis of persecution of others, as unfortunately so many today have been doing. That's just idiotic.

This is the best understanding and easy read Quran I've read.

Love it

Worth a read.

Sehr interessantes Buch und Uebersetzung tadellos. Der Koran predigt keine Kriege und Morde Moslems sind Menschen mit eigener Religion wie andere auch

This Qur'an is a pleasure to read. Some Qur'ans in English are more difficult but good for study. This one is good to sit down with a cuppa and just read. That's not to say it's simplistic and just a paraphrase; when I compare it with my other Qur'an (Al-Hilali and Khan), it appears to be a faithful translation, but it is easier to read. I use both and wouldn't be without either but I use each of them differently. The only regret I have is that it's not available in a hardcover.
