The Holy Qur'an in Today's English [Emerick, Yahiya] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Holy Qur'an in Today's English

Review: Very accessible - The translation is easy to understand and the various footnotes and chapter (surah) introductions provide useful information and have helped me understand at a deeper level. I also appreciated the bolded headers throughout the chapters that helped me find certain topics easily. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a version of the Quran in English
Review: Very accessible translation of the Qur'an / Koran - I don't speak Arabic, so i read the Qur'an in english. I've read several translations, this is by far the best I've seen, at least for me. It conveys the spirit of the Qur'an without distracting archaic english words or grammer, letting me focus on the message. At first this modernization felt wrong to me, but then I realized: I'm reading a translation anyways! Nothing makes an archaic english translation more accurate than a modern english translation. I showed a few versus to someone who DOES speak Arabic and knows the Qur'an, she thought they were accurate (well, as accurate as you can be switching between the languages). Each Surah is prefaced by some history about when and how it was revealed. There are also footnotes which explain the context of events related to a particular verse. I found this both useful and enlightening. As a kindle book, it was very easy for me to jump between footnote and main text, which I liked. Overall, a great translation, well worth paying a few dollars for (as opposed to free Qur'an translations), and something I will continue to use!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Novel Approach
*by W***O on March 8, 2011*

Emerick has delivered a translation of the Quran that is much more approachable to the modern reader. Easy to read and filled with useful footnotes and commentary, it also gives a smattering of historical context that catches your interest. For example, I didn't know that Noah was also called Zoroaster by several subsequent civilizations. Although i think its important to familiarize yourself with a more archiac text that offers more perspective on the poetry and syntax of the Quran, this is a great book for someone looking to get to know the Quran to pick up. Its also not very big (i hear, since i have the kindle version this doesn't really matter:) so can be picked up and carried around with ease. Great to delve into when you want to refer something quickly or want a quick read of a chapter or two. I still haven't read the whole book, But the chapters i did read were well crafted and even divided into broad based subject matter in certain places
