The Qur'an (Oxford World's Classics) Paperback – Illustrated, 17 April 2008

This is very different from the usual Qur'an translations, not so much in terms of meaning, but in how it is formatted. The individual Ayat (verses) are not separated by numbers but are written as superscripts instead. The reason why the author did this is to make the text flow better. He also used different paragraphs to show when the topic within a Surah (chapter) changes. Finally, he also used language that flows better and is clearer for today's audience. I can't tell how accurate it still is, but the text does flow. As always, I suggest everyone interested in understanding the Qur'an reads several translations. This one is a good addition, perhaps a good one to start with if you have been struggling with others.

Amazing translation and the tafsir was very helpful upon navigating the surahs if you are reading this review I would most definitely recommend the majestic quran aswell

This is One of the Best and Engaging Translations out there. It shows that so much thought and work has gone into it.

Love the paper quality as well. I love reading quran

a must read/own for every MuslimAlso highly recommend for anyone vaguely interested in Islam. This is by far the most accessible and easy to understand translation of the Quran I have come across. Used by many mainstream and Sufi Islamic scholars today to teach a better understanding of the religion and help Muslims and others better understand the common tenets of the religion, misunderstood verses etc.Highly recommend this for botha) individual study and exploration, and alsob) group or individual studies on a short to medium term or long term programme with a qualified scholar at a well respected institution (to avoid misconstruing the verses, taking them out of their context and misapplying them due to a misunderstanding over the meaning of the Arabic in that historical/revelation context). For those of us who struggle to access recommendations (I know I did a few yrs ago)...some institutions that use this text are CEI, Wilaya Trust, and, I think, Oxford University itself.However, if you are looking for a version of the text that also has the Arabic (side by side, for example) please note this does not have the original Arabic text. You'll want a separate Arabic/English Quran for that.

Language style is easier to understand. Wish there was large print and more spacing for easier reading.

If you are trying to understand Islam, this translated version is the best version I've come across. After reading this it's made me want to further my understanding and explore Islam more.

Bought this version of the quran after listening to a YouTube video by Nouman Ali Khan. Very easy read with cross reference to when the surah was revealed.
