This English translation of the Qur'an is a compilation of the Muslim faith's Final Revelation from God to mankind through the last Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon Him. The Qur'an has a wealth of information--both worldly wisdom and intellectual concepts--providing a code of life for humankind generally and Muslims in particular. Indeed, the Qur'an's miracle lies in its ability to offer something to non-believers and everything to believers. This edition is fully indexed.… (more)

Halaqa | Nov 2, 2009 |

An obligatory lecture to any one.

HanoarHatzioni | Jun 9, 2009 |

Not without its controversies but widely considered to be the best English language translation of the Qur'an. Maintains the repetitiveness and flowery language - along with the organization of chapters by length rather than by chronology, theme, or anything else even remotely logical - of the original Arabic, so it's a tough slog for any but a very dedicated reader. Invaluable as a reference book, however. (
