English Translation of the Meaning of Al-Qur'an: The Guidance for Mankind
The Message of Allah, the Qur’an, has four rights:
Qir‘at (to read it)
Tilawat (to understand and act upon its guidance)
Tadabbur (to comprehend its teachings)
and Balaghat (to preach and convey its Message).
The right of “Balaghat” - was made a mandatory Assignment for the Muslim Ummah The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has clearly stated this assignment of the Muslim Ummah in the following words: “Ballaghû Annee Walo Âyah - Convey from me even if you have the knowledge of one Âyah.” In another Hadith he said: “O Muslims: The best among you are those who learn and teach the Qur’an.” At Hajja-tul-Wid‘a Rasool Allah, peace be upon him, said: “O you, who are here, convey this message to those who are not here.” Al-Hamdulillah, this publication, Al-Qur’an - the Guidance for mankind, is meant to fulfill all these four rights of the Qur’an: It’s Arabic text is to read (Qir‘at), translation of its meanings in contemporary easy American Language is to understand and act upon its guidance (Tilawat), information about Major Issues, Divine Laws and Guidance prior to the translation of each Sûrah is to comprehend its teachings (Tadabbur), and its distribution to Public Libraries, Muslims and non-Muslims at large is to convey its Message (Balaghat).

This book changed my life. It help me better understand what God wants from me. Written in Modern English it was very easy to understand. The commentary helped make sense what verse was applicable in what situation the Prophet (S) and the Sahabas (R) were facing.
I don't think anyone can truly called themselves learned until they have read any translation of Quran a number of times.
I recommend this to people who are having problems in their life and Muslims who are suffering from insomnia. Place this book next to your bed and when you can't sleep pick it up and read.
Make dua that Allah to remove any veils on our hearts and open the Quran to us... both in recitation and understanding. People do not emphasize the importance of understanding the Quran. These are the words of Allah. Allah gives us examples of who to follow and who not to follow.
If you haven't read this book, don't let the Shaytan make you delay. Order it from the internet www.islamicbookstore.com or any other site or many local mosques have it as well. Be sure to buy the All english translation (I prefer the hardcover but hard to find).\
My only complaint is the introduction is too long and there are some questionable translations when compared to other translators.
One must remember that the Quran is only in Arabic and no translation can come close to the original form. Written in modern english makes it much easier to understand but I would consider Yusuf Ali's translation to be more accurate but harder to understand.
