The Holy Qur'an: Arabic Text with English Translation

Intersting to read

It is imperative that the original Arabic version is read and understood as that is the true word of the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him). It is recognised by many that Abdullah Yusuf Ali's English translation is regarded as one of the most accurate that is available. I have read review comments that argue as to why it is necessary to understand the original. The simple answer to all who beg this rather naive question is that an EXACT translation of the text that was originally transcribed from the revelation received by the Prophet (Peace be upon him) is not possible. A direct translation from Arabic to English may not necessarily be 100% accurate. Thus, misinterpretation is likely. To prove this, just compare a few different translations. Some are worse than others but none can be perfect.This copy just purchased was bought to replace one accidentally left on a train. I hope that the finder of the lost copy is enlightened by its content. However, the paper and binding quality of this copy is not as good as the lost copy.

I haven't had a chance to read this book, and it may take a while till I do,however I must respond to the last review by: Mr. Francis A. King. (perhaps he just got a bad copy)and I wouldn't want anyone to be put off buying.The actual quality of this book seems no less than any of many hardback books I have bought recently.I am very happy with it, and I can find no fault on the printing on the cover/spine.The Arabic is indeed smaller and takes up less space than the English, and perhaps it is not easy too read.I don't read Arabic, but its interesting to have it for comparison.So without being able to comment on the actual content, It is a good quality book, that I am very happy to have on my bookshelf.

ok so it’s good quality but some of the pages aren’t printed very clearly 😕 and the bookmark is fraying ☹️ other then that it’s good

My mums husband was using his late dads one. So I decided to get him this. He was totally blown away by the present and totally loves it. Thank you.

It is simply one of the best translation in English, very useful and hard cover too, I actually bought for friend of mine as hi is willing to read as he is not yet muslim, hopefully he will be convinced and guided to straight path by GOD InshAllah that this is a 100% book of Almighty.I will recommend to anyone to buy this copy either for your one use or gift to somebody who is not yet muslim...

Very good and sturdy.The only little problem that you might occur is that it uses an old version of English with pronouns like “Thy brother”, but you would find that kind of writing in Muslim Pro app as well if you use it, so I’m used to it.Very pleased with the way it looks.Alhumdulillah!

After visiting Kuala Lumpar, and picking up the Quran in the hotel to read, I decided I wanted to read the whole thing - I love books in their physical form... I read numerous reviews, and thought well you always get a few bad reviews... :-( really really disappointed when I received my copy. It is not hardback as we know it, more firm cardboard (still flimsy)... Print quality on the cover poor and wonky... I hoped the inside would be better... Unfortunately not, font varies from bold but fuzzy to faint and almost illegible, font size varies on the pages... Already arranged a return, can't fault amazon on their process for returns, however you would think that in this day and age, a decent quality Quran wouldn't be too hard to source....
