The Qur'an Translation (English only) by Mohammedali H. Shakir

I have attempted to read this many times over the years. I am going to buy another translation. I purchased this in the late '80's and maybe there is a "clearer" version now. However, as in every holy book, there are lots of golden nuggets of wisdom to find. My rating reflects only the importance of this book in one's spirituality walk IMHO.
