The Holy Qur'an: English Translation, Commentary and Notes with Full Arabic Text: 2

This Qu'ran is amazing and very big, I am just learning about Islam and find this version the best, Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary is so easy to understand, he really explains the differences between Arabic words translated into English. He is showing me how beautiful Islam is 😊 I look forward to reading it all, it will be a book I treasure and will use in the future as guidance. If you are curious about Islam or want to learn about it then this book and version is for you. It is written with no bias at all, and is written so all people can enjoy the teachings of Islam. And any of u with a sterotype of a Muslim should also make sure they read it before passing judgement on Islam, because I can guarantee it will change your mind. It is a book of Peace and Beauty ❤️ the print is not to the standard of European print, but this dosn't effect how it can be read, it just means u need a good light, the words are very clear and very easy to read it is just a bit lighter in colour. I have throughly enjoyed reading a few chapters with no problem at all, it is a joy to own and read 😊

Im more than impressed with this version of The Holy Qur'an. After reading a similar copy in a mosque for so many months i decided to track the book ON Google and found it on Amazon. I love how the English translation is right alongside the Arabic (which is not that hard to read). Still, the best feature by far is the paragraphs of commentary with numbered references to the related verse. By having this extra information, you gain an insight to what the verse is about, rather then just reading it. And im not exaggerating this, there are literally thousands of these numbered references, which is the main reason why the book is so big. This book is a rare find and I will make sure it passes down many generations to come.

This is the most accurate and most beautiful translation of the Quran I have ever read, it is so Beautifully explained that it makes you emotional almost 90 % of the time, I did not expect it to be this big but I am glad it is. The the team behind this beautiful book, I want you to know that I love you and I pray that each and every one you get abundance of love and happiness peace in your Lives. You guys are the best ♥️🙏🏻👑☝🏻

MashAallah outstanding my daughter luv it

Translation and commentaries are just perfect sadly book has low quality, for a 40$ book I expected better, covers are damage also it has bad printing, in some places I can't even read the words. Overall information in the book is just so good, it makes pt worth it even with those problems.

I have been reading the quran in Arabic but wanted to learn and understand what l was reading. I was looking for a quran with english translation which was easy to understand...and l have found it. The best purchase l have made.

Came a bit damaged on the outside and marks on some pages. However it is beautiful as any Quran is but the translation is amazing and easy to understand. Amazing to have in ramadan

Not worth it. Returned and got refunded . It’s very nice in terms of word for word translation but such cheap quality pages.

..on the Holy Qur'an. This book contains not only the original text in Arabic but also the translation from Abdullah Yusuf Ali and commentary. It is an excellent 'encyclopedia'. The Qur'an is a concentrated book and to find Ayah (Verses) on particular topics a very good index is available at the back of this book. I would recommend it to any person wishing to increase their knowledge of the lessons and guidance provided by our Almighty, All-Powerful Creator in the Qur'an.

I'm giving this product 5 stars despite the fact that this publisher sometimes has a problem with quality assurance. Some customers believe they are receiving a used book, and sometimes these books get sent back, but the publisher is not in a Western country, nor are some of their customers, so this company can't keep up with the quality of many Western publishers. Besides, I wanted a copy of Abdullah Yusuf Ali's classic translation with commentary. If I purchase from other publishing houses, I would end up with a better print, but I'd have a revised commentary from a Wahabist perspective, which I don't care to own. I want a true Sunni Muslim commentary, and if that means I have to buy from a publisher whose products are sometimes (not always) substandard, so be it. I am a 12er Shia Muslim, and many of our scholars believe this translation is worth having. I enjoy the translation and commentary even if it is was made for our Sunni brothers and sisters, and I can live with the differences of opinion. I consider Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation with commentary a 20th century Sunni classic which is just a useful today. It is my hope Allah willing that a publishing house with good quality control, committed to publishing true Sunni works, would obtain the rights to publish this classic. The cover and font is fine (although some readers may have some trouble reading sections with smaller print), but the printing itself has problems. This may be an annoyance, but one I can live with. I also recommend M. M. Pickthal's translation of the Quran, which is the first translation I ever read, and also a Sunni translation. Some Evangelical Fundamentalist Christian anti-Muslim books in the 1980s portrayed the Quran to be a book that was hard to understand in translation, and that the revelations in the Quran can't be placed in history. However, Pickthal included a short Biography of the Prophet (SAWW) and explained that there were early and late Meccan and Madinan revelations, so this knowledge for me refuted those anti-Muslim tracts I had read when I was a fundamentalist Christian in my twenties. Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary gives more insights on the Surahs than does Pickthal. My favorite 12er Shia Muslim translation of the Quran is the one by S V Mir Ahmed Ali, with commentary. There is of course a little bit of a difference of opinion on translation and on the dating of a few Surahs, but I believe it is good for knowledgeable lay Sunni and Shia Muslims to compare and contrast these differences. This leads to better understanding between Muslims. Actually, we have more in common than we might think. Unless you want your bookshelf to have only the best looking books on the shelves (which is not a bad idea in areas of one's home that may be seen by visitors), please don't pass up this classic. Remember, you can always keep this Quran by your nightstand by your bed. I keep mine with my S V Mir Ahmed Ali Quran translation, our 1st Imam Ali Ibn Talib's Peak of Eloquence, our 4th Imam's As-Sahiffa As-Sajjadiyyah (the Psalms of Islam), our 6th Imam Jaffar As-Saddiq's Lantern of the Path, and the Forty Hadith of Imam Nawawi (which I read before I became a Muslim and have always liked since). Enjoy! Addendum: Besides the commentaries, there are Appendices after certain chapters that give additional information that has bearing on the Surah. One excellent example is Appendix VIII which supplements the commentary on the Verse of Lights, Surah 24:35 by giving a summary of various sections of Imam Ghazali's book, Miskat-ul Anwar (The Niche of Lights), as well as the contrasting Verse of Darkness, Surah 24:40. These Appendices enhance the commentary. You won't find these gems in the newer additions.

This is a freaking tome!!!! A monster of a book -- binding seems to be holding up which is impressive. Best thing about this printing is the sentence by sentence translation with the original text and the full commentary at the bottom of every page.Out of the three translated volumes I own this replaces them all.

The print quality was very poor. Writing is also very small.

je suis en colère, car j'ai le sentiment de m'être fait avoir, je dirai voler ! J'ai commandé un livre avec des caractéristiques assez clairement bien définit et je me retrouve avec un autre petit livre qui me donne l'envie de le jeter à la poubelle, par colère ! Je pense que ceci est du au fait qu'avec le temps, je suis devenu un client régulier et donc, on se permet de me négliger car, pensent-ils que je finirais toujours par revenir vers eux (le site amazon) et on peut me "refourguer" n'importe quoi !
