The Meaning of the Holy Qur'an

Summary: This isnt the "translation" you want for yourself.
Review: Though I havent read this "translation" of the Quran I know that there are better ones out there. In fact there is only one good one that is published in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and translated by Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan. In any event the Quran isnt the Quran if it is not an Arabic so if you really want to read the Quran learn Arabic. But until then, the above mentioned "translation" is the most helpful.

Summary: excellent work...
Review: When I decided to read the Qur'an I perused a few translations that were, in my opinion, below par for someone who is both unfamiliar with the arabic language, history, culture and the faith of Islam. Some were straight translations, some, only attempted to prove the Qur'an's perfection via mathematics and multiplications... I found this verion to be well translated and very well explained. I have read this twice and read one different translation (sans explanations) and still find this one to be the best.
