Holy Quran

This Quran does an excellent job in explaining the verses in their historical context, and also what the words mean in the original Arabic. It takes the inflammation and hatred out of the text and puts the verses in their proper perspective so they will not be misunderstood by the reader. I would give this book a thousand stars but I am only limited to five. And as far as the one star reviews go that call the Ahmadiyya or Mirzai group non Muslims; ignore that nonsense. This is a group that seeks to reform Islam and embrace all religions and the kernels of truth the reside within. The problem some people will have with these groups, is that they are too embracing of others and open-minded. They believe that God still speaks to human beings as he did the Prophet Mohammed, although they believe that The Quran was the last holy book to be handed down from the heavens and no other shall be written after it. They are not undercover terrorists putting out propaganda to try and trick others to join their religion as I saw one reviewer state. These individuals are hated by the extremists and put to death for their faith just like everybody else by the modern Islamic death cults. This is a peaceful group that came about in the mid 19th century and looks to restore the Muslim faith to piece and acceptance for all. Anyone who would reject these peaceful teachings and slander the beliefs of these people need to check their religion at the door. Why would anyone make a religious career of hating, bad mouthing and killing a group whose motto is, "acceptance of all, hatred for none." It takes a pretty hard heart and head to spew garbage about such individuals or call them infidels for preaching a message of love. This version of the Holy Quran is fantastic and has much wisdom and research within its commentary. I fully support this translation and the group who put it out, if you want peaceful Islam, look no further. This is a faith that anyone could be proud of!

This was one book my Imam did not favor for two things and they are because of the english translation (though honestly he did not really understand the structure of the english like I did, that or because he didn't like the choice of words) but I liked it personally compared to other ones I read before. It is really good, and a bit advanced in the way that you'd have to get a dictionary to see what a word means but it's good because you'd learn new words but you wouldn't really be forced to do it all the time because you'd already know the meaning of what the verse means by the time you get to the word. Though his main gripe was that the book opened and began with the American style (left to right) of books rather than that of Arabic (reverse) where you start at the very back of the book to began the Quran to read it in true Arabic style. But I still do have The Quran with English and Arabic translation he has given me which is also a great one that I should recommend to everyone for the easy understanding and two English and Arabic texts it has, it is in the Arabic style in that when you read it it starts from the Back of the book instead of the front for example American books. The only downside to it is the grammer mistakes found through out the book, but I read both of this books side by side at the same time to compare and get a better understanding because they both can sound better than the other at times so its a win win. Even better though is the Arabic because it is the same in all books as proved by Allah (Almighty God) opposed to different language translations. Another cool note for the other Quran (not this one) is that on the english translation the followers of Allah are refered to as muslims where it doesn't do so on this version of Muhammad Mualana Ali's. Now I don't know Arabic at the moment so this review is obviously for the people looking for the best English translation. I recommend this one, I also recommend the other one which my Imam gave me and its The Holy Quran Kanzul Imam (The Treasure of Faith) By Imam Ahmad Raza Qadri Rehmatullah Alaih Renedered into English By Prof. Syed Shah Faridul Haque Published By Markaz-E-Ahle Sunnat Barkaat-E-Raza Not sure if you will find this anywhere but it's worth that I mention it.

This is the best book, it has got arabic and english and a verh detailed engliah commentary.the author has 50 years of rich literary experience and i found it completely unbiased (despite author being an Ahmadiyyah as being pointed out by other reviewers) he not only quotes his contemporary writers he even proves the Falsities in the Commentry of critics. All in all its an accurate commentary i would refer it to every one who do not know much about Islam,so that they can know what it really is !

By far the best English translation of this most beautiful of books Reference and comments as well as the historic and Biblical perspectives are done in a way as not to overload the reader, but it is extensive. 1917 wow

Grandmother loved it. hers was lost years and years ago.

I am excited to get this awesome translation of the glorious Qur'an, the best part of it is this has been translated without any sectarian biasness unlike most of the translations of the glorious Qur'an. I suggest this translation to everyone who is looking for the best English translation of the glorious Qur'an with the Arabic text side by side. It has a saperate section of the teachings of Ahmadiyya Islam and has clear commentaries which make sense. The thin pages of it makes it comparatively more compact and lighter. It also has a clossic look and has reached me before the estimated time

Maulana Muhamd'Ali translation if the Holy Qu'ran is the best translation ever! The extensive notes, explanations and footnotes really explain the text and meaning. A true, classic masterpiece and the best you can get. Easy to read and understand. Just wish the e-version had the Arabic text.... Only minor fault in a flawless work. Highly recommend this book
