About the author

Various

455k books1,339 followers
Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Very, very, masterfully translated.

As a born Muslim, I have been practicing the recitation of the Qur'an since childhood. Often, I found myself reciting without truly comprehending the profound messages of Allah. The Oxford translation left me astonished at how I had been 24 years Muslim, somewhat disillusioned about Allah's messages and the depth of His teachings.

This translation profoundly touches my heart - deepening my love for Allah and Islam like never before. I often read it alongside Nouman Ali Khan's tafseer videos.

as a Moslem, I really appreciated this translated version. it's easier to bring anywhere because it feels more like ordinary books. I absorb every version and it makes me more understand about the meaning of every verses in Qur'an.

First Ramadan completing the Quran entirely, the Message stands against the test of time. I always enjoy this translation in particular.

I was having my hard times but this one just be the one that calming me down. Thankyou, Quran & Allah, for always being there for me — always listening & understanding. No one human in this world can ever doing that to me.

About life, yes, maybe it will be that hard, hurt, or even heartbreaking. However, over the years I have learned that nothing ever goes wrong. It might not happen according to my plan but to His. And I feel perfectly safe, knowing that what He chooses for me — was chosen by Al-Kareem, the All-Wise, and Ar-Rahman, the Most Merciful.

“...call upon Me, and I will respond to you.” (40:60).

Tons of loves,
AP.

I just took the writer’s writing here since I am also currently reading the whole Quran’s tafseer and had already read the whole translation before reading the book. I love how it objectively introduces us the brief explanation of the Qur’an in a concise manner before giving the translation. I also adore how it gives us the summary of each sura that I can gain something valuable for.

I truly enjoyed how the Qur'an discusses themes of nature, reason, and its flexible set of rules in its religious construction. However, the passages on women and this reinforcement of male domination especially the passages on several wives and abusive behavior were far too prevalent.

Handy to toss around with. Whenever I used to roam around my room, I'd pick this up to go through the highlighted lines over and over again. Calmed me down in tough times. Eloquently written and well translated (in some esoteric parts, explanations are provided as well)

Amazing translation, one of the best ones so far. Easy to comprehend. Would not only recommend to new Muslims or students but everyone who would like a clear version of the Quran in English.
