Alhamdulillah, this translated Quran with Arabic writing in it has been so beneficial for me! This is the first time I ever truly got to understand the words of Allah and I feel so much closer to my Lord after this 💕

True, there are some grammar errors, spelling errors, and punctuation errors that should have been caught before publishing, but the tremendous understanding I have gained from this book cannot be overlooked.

Each Chapter/Surah begins with the name of the Surah, where it was revealed and goes on into two columns with one side being the original Arabic (with all the grammar notations) and the other being direct English translation (usually old English style) with further explanation where needed using modern English. There are even some Surahs and verses that are explained further with Islamic history too.

I bought this book when I was in the 9th grade. I promise you, 14 year old me was not fully able to understand a lot of the writing in this but 20+ year olds me was able to understand it just fine. I would say this book is for anyone who already has knowledge of Islam & is familiar with the stories of the Quran and would like to go more in depth with each ayah. However, if you are looking for something that explains the Quran's words with detailed footnotes & explanations of the time & reasons for each revelation, this would not be it. This book is still very beneficial for those looking for the former!

Excellent read and explanation of The Holy Quran.

I chooses this version of the Quran as l wanted to know what the meaning of quran in English. Insha allah

Also give a Mimi dictionary of Islamic terminology and names; in gives explanation of what they mean which is very helpful. Insha Allah

I like the inline commentary within the verse of the Quran as it gives a more of an explanation and understanding on what l was reading Insha Allah

Whilst I appreciate this authors effort in this work ( and may God reward him for it ) - unfortunately it is not the best of translations I have come across - especially if someone is new and reading the Quran to understand its meaning for the first time

Having said that the Quran is a book that will never be understood upon the one reading anyway - and this was different in a sense that the author gave a brief outline and prep/ intro with summary before setting each verse/ chapter- so that was good and different

But my kindle had many spelling mistakes , poor formatting which made it hard to differ the actual Quran text ca the accompanying commentary ( explanation to what the verse meant ) - this caused the biggest problem to me - because much of the commentary should have added sources or references like authentic Hadith as to how the author came to his conclusion in his interpretations of the Quran - because am sure many Muslim respected scholars will not unanimously agree with it - and myself from the study I’ve done - and that’s a big problem because many would be looking to this as guidance for the first time especially considering the title of this book...

Excellent translation, the commentary makes it easy to understand without having to search for references and footnotes. In some ways it is a mini-tafseer for someone who does not have the time to read a full tafseer.I couldnt find this in the goodreads catalogue so had to add it manually, here is the link at the Kindle Store: Quran Made EasyMufti Afzal Hoosen Elias
