Book Reviews of The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an : Explanatory Translation
Book Review: A very good translation of the Quran.
Summary: 4 Stars
A very good translation of the Quran by an Englishman who converted to Islam. The only drawback to this particular translation is that the style of English used is reminiscent of the Old English style used in the King James translation of the Bible, and so can be a bit difficult to understand on occasion. Other than this, very good. An easier to understand translation would be "The Meaning of the Holy Quran" by "Abdullah Yusuf Ali". Often that translation also contains historical commentary to make it easier to understand the history and context of much of what is written, and helps to eliminate many common misunderstandings and misconceptions.
Summary of The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an : Explanatory Translation
