English Translation of the Qur'an

In the beginning it was good, when you keep on going, it gets bad. The writer actually thought we as readers are stupid because they repeat over and over and over again like four or five or maybe 20 pages of the same stuff. They also added things that does not even pertain to the Bible because the Bible and the Koran are the same book it is just written differently how they protect the story. What bothers me about some of the parts of the Quran is the fact that it tells you to beat your wife but don’t kill her. This part was added this is not in the original Quran. Stop selling and distributing false hoods to people because this is ridiculous crap if you’re going to put out things like this then there’s no point of you writing a book. Tell the truth and stop putting falseness it even says it in your own book not to write falseness is against religion.

I read the first Surah, and how can you say the jews and christians are astray, the real quran says in verse 3:3 the torah and gospel of jesus are books of God and includes the Sabians are believers as well, meaning jews and christians are believers and brought the original message BEFORE the quran PER the authentic quran. Thank God it cannot be changed in arabic. The translator of this book is is a lier, and defaming God’s words. Obviously is not a true muslim. Stick to Mustafa Khattab version, it’s the most literal if you’re looking for a good English translation. My grandma memorized the Quran in its original language, arabic, as we are Syrian background and muslim. She has said it’s all accurate what I read on 3:3 and that it is a continuation of the original message brought by Abraham (Jews), and Jesus (Christians). How can this book be made when Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Quran and say they are astray. Anyone with common sense would know this book is a lie to inspire hate between brothers and sisters and with a connection to God would know. Don’t believe me, learn arabic and read the original which cannot be changed thank God.

I’m a Catholic of Spanish moor and Sephardic Jew heritage.... This is a beautiful book .. that has gave me a understanding of my heritage..

Although I am not a muslim, there are still wonderful insights in this. Actually, almost all religious texts have great insights, no matter your beliefs. And even if you don’t believe it, you should still respect those who do.

Not an accurate translation. I read no further than the Fatiha, the most recited verse in prayer, and saw in brackets things that have no place in the Quran. As Muslims we are to respect all faiths, just as we we want all faiths to respect us.

I love Quran

Incites for Hate and offensive because it contains personal opinions and understandings which are wrong and not mentioned in the real version of Quran.

The brackets are NECESSARY since there are words that don’t exist in English in the Arabic language, as well as CONTEXT and the TAFSIR which is referred to by other reviewers. This is an amazing and very accurate translation of the Quran. Good step in trying to understand the beliefs of the Islamic religion and the highlighting and notes feature in iBooks is great for if you have a question on a specific section so you can look into it later and not assume that it is the author’s opinion. Please. It’s called research. Do read this translation! Interpret it after without biases from other people and their religions.

Allah is the greatest

This was the first result I had when searching for a basic Qur'an. It also had 4 stars, as many as the first 4 or 5 other results from my search, but once I started reading, I was distracted by these very judgmental, racist comments in parentheses, and I wondered, "Is this REALLY what the Qur'an says?!" So, I looked for another one and was more careful about reading for a book description that touted accuracy and direct translation with a translator with relevant credentials.

Thank you guys very much for your work to create it in englisch version on apple

I have the distinct feeling that the Quran was written for men. I'm not trying to sound sexist but looking up "woman", "girl", and "women" in the search bar was very enlightening. I'm doing a project on the misrepresentation of women in Islam not being weak, docile, (merely) useful creatures to men that are Muslim. I was sorely disappointed. I have realized reading the other reviews that this isn't the only understanding (do to the authors personal opinions) of the Quran but regardless-the actual thing is not that much different.

i see some dont think the author of book knew what he ws saying. im curious to read it myself more understanding on what muslim believe and understand why this is the backbone of jhad and isis. im sure it will be interesting. i think ppl need go inwith open minds. dont read a book if you have already formed an opinion. you will be disappointed no matter what.

WONDERFUL TRANSLATION

First of all, He is not putting his own personal opinion in the brackets. That is actually what the tafsir of the Qur'aan is referring to in each ayat. He makes it simpler so you don't have to wonder what the ayat is referring to. Also, the Ulamaa (Scholars), have recommended that Dr. Mohsin Khan's translation is by far the most accurate translation to this day. He is actually from the world renowned Islamic University of Al-Medinah Al-Munawarah in Saudi Arabia.

I'm a Christian simply wanting to read The Qur'an. The parenthesis and brackets used constantly in the text are not only distracting but an unwelcome interpretation from the translator.

Personal thoughts are more written as a translation.

mashallah may Allah reverd you all

People are saying this is a true translated version, if it is then this book is intended to radicalize its readers, and convert people to be extremist.. So either this is a radicalized version or Islam truly teaches hate and intolerance contradictory to what they preach in front of the media cameras.
