The Holy Qur'an in Today's English Kindle Edition

This is an easy to read edition of the Quran. I always wanted to read it but the previous editions have been oddly organized or hard to read. Muslims don't believe you can translate the Quran. The word of God was delivered to the Arabs in their language so its impossible to change God's words. Most Muslims would refer to these books as "interpretations".I am happy to have read the book. As a Christian I realize how twisted my conception of it was. There are no 70 virigins, no chopping people's heads off and no Sharia. Its message is to believe in the one God, live morally, give to the poor and be tolerant of others.

I LOVE this translation - it's so much easier to read than most others.I've ordered both the Kindle version and the physical book and would honestly suggest the Kindle version more. It lets you read the paragraph form translation but doesn't take up half the page with commentary - you just click on the comment number next to the end of the verse and it jumps to the commentary on a separate page. You can also favorite passages and can easily navigate from the table of contents.The translation itself is so refreshing - Br. Emerick translates very broadly (as the Quran should be) and explains why he chose certain English meanings for words over other ones - but supplies the others in the commentary for your own benefit). He translates into something any Muslim born in the Western Hemisphere can read without feeling confused or bored. I would seriously suggest this for younger Muslims as it's different than any other translation they may come across.I've given this as a gift so many of my friends and they all talk about how wonderful it is - even ones who have never read the translation before in their lives. It's honestly worth every penny!

I liked the way the book is written. It is in a tone that is great for English speaking folks to understand. I did NOT like the size. It is VERY thick and small. If the book was made bigger then the thickness would be less...and the size of font needs to be a bit bigger. I also have a major issue with the Cover. It is curled back at all times. I have weighted it down to no avail. I believe the cover needs to be a thicker material so it will not cover. The cover keeps bending which just makes the book look bad all the time. I would not buy this again....unless the cover was thicker and the size of the book adjusted.

My experience reading the book and gifting it to friens has bought me tremendous joy and satisfactionThe Book has all answers I was looking for I would recommend this glorious book to be read and understood by everyone who has doubts about ISLAM ..Great find

All Quran references in the world share the format "chapter#:verse#". The kindle table of contents in this book doesn't list the chapter numbers, only the English translation of the chapter name, so you can't look anything up. It's useless.

I am use to reading in Arabic and the translation of those Ayat in English. So it is a bit different in reading everything in English.

Many people cast judgment on races and colors of people. I want to know more about who they are, their religion, their customers. I find this fascinating. I read comments that this is not always the correct translation but,I am sure the Christian Bible is the same way. it's fine for me.

I purchased this hoping it would help with translating the Arabic to English when I read Quran with my young teen daughter. This was such an easy read that she picked it up and began reading on her own.

Have so far really enjoyed reading this translation - everything is categorised with detailed background notes for various verses.Strongly recommended for anyone who wants to learn and understand Islam - and because it's written in modern day English it's readable/understandable by people of all ages.

Really nice and comprehensive commentary of Quran.I bought it for further study during Ramadan.I suggest this book for beginner-intermediate readers.

It's good. I took a 'look inside' and that helped. My preferred translation is by M. Abdel Haleem, the best in my opinion, but there isn't a large print edition of that, so this is a good alternative.

Given as a present. Didn't get any complaints so good news I hope.

A most for all no matter what religion. Well written with excellent footnotes putting the text in full historical context
