For a translation to do justice to the Quran and capture its elegance and vigor, it has to be accurate, smooth, eloquent, and accessible. Unlike most popular translations, The Clear Quran masterfully passes on all counts. To achieve accuracy, the translator has made use of the greatest and most celebrated works of old and modern tafsir (Quran commentaries), and shared the work with several Imams in North America for feedback and insight. For clarity, every effort has been made to select easy to understand words and phrases that reflect the beauty, flow, and power of the original text. Along with informative footnotes and Sura (chapter) introductions, verses have been grouped and titled based on their themes for a better understanding of the chapters, their main concepts, and internal coherence. Thanks to our dedicated team of scholars, editors, and proofreaders, we believe that what you are holding in your hands now is the finest translation of the Final Revelation. Review: Accessible Introduction To The Quran - The translation is smooth and accurate. The language itself is modern and devoid of any of that fake thee and thou affectation that some of the earlier translations used. I did notice a few grammatical glitches in the English, but they were slight and did not detract in any way from the overall meaning. All considered, this is a very good and easy to read translation. As an introduction to the Quran, briefly identifying the themes contained in the surahs, adds clarity and helps put the revelations into context. For someone who is unfamiliar with the history of the region, the life and times of Muhammad (PBUH), and the birth of Islam, such a thematic approach is illuminating. Bottom line: This is very well done and would be a great starting point for anyone interested in learning about Islam.

A Much-Needed Easy-to-Read Translation
I was very satisfied with The Clear Quran. Compared to the older English translation I had, this version is much easier to read and understand. The language is modern yet respectful, making the message of the Quran more accessible without losing its depth. The formatting is also clean, and the footnotes provide helpful context. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clear and engaging translation!

Easy to read and understand in English.
This text is easy to read and understand. There are foot notes at the bottom of the page for additional information, clarification and reading sources. Side by side with original Arabic text.

Honestly great for novice readers both secular and religious.
The book is really great in size. Has a nice heft to it. It acts like a good study book. It gives you a great description and introduction to Islam, clears stereotypes, etc. The book is very digestible, easy to read with each chapter having sections divided making it easy to read. Great for people with ADHD like me. Read, break and repeat. Also the sections within the chapter are numbered. But most of all it adds brief insight concern ing Hadith. If a line has a vague conotation or leaves you dumbfounded. They elaborate. And well.

Great for anyone interested in understanding Islam
I think with so many reviews on books and info, I will insert a comment for those really looking for a version that can help them as it has helped me. This is based on my journey and experience. It's a great translated attempt to read, it is well structured. You can tell it's translated by someone that not only understands Islam and the Quran, but by someone that also has a very strong grasp of the English language, mindful to make sense for the everyday person who might read this. It is not just Quran translation, it also has information facts to address common questions and provides information to correct some of the misconceptions presented through media. Discover the power and beauty of our creator and Islam, this translated version will help you connect. Be honest with your self when reading this, do not use it to judge, do not read it with hate or anger, just read it with an open heart if you are looking to learn so you may come to your own conclusion. Do not assume, questions enrich our lives, so seek clarification from Islamic scholars when curious or unsure on something. This is about our salvation and you need to qualify any question by asking Islamic scholars, whom you can find at any Islamic centre and mosque. A great guide to understanding Islam and the Quran. I have read many translations and they scare me as they are so far from what the message and context/intent is, where authors add personal assumptions and interpretation without understanding the language or context, this happens when written by those that don't understand Islam or even the Arabic language. While translating gives context, it's never the same because it's based on how our unique experience in terms of language and world experience/perceptions are defined. So treat it as a guide and not the final word. But a great start towards healing a division of misunderstanding, learning about your neighbours and friends. Let your heart judge and scholars help you learn to ensure whatever path you select is based on your truth. I think this version is great for that. May you find peace and comfort in your relationship with the creator. But you can only discover your truth with an open heart and this is perfect for those readers interested and curious about Islam, and for Muslims alike as well, as I rediscover Islam and my faith through logic and evidence that can't be explained a few decades ago, let alone 1,400 years ago. Things are we are only discovering now, its not just blind faith. some context. Islam wasn't born 1,400 years ago. It was first revealed to human kind with Adam and Eve, and continued to be shared over the ages throughout history for many tribes the world over, like those who we know off such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and many before them, the Quran is the final revelation and a final guide for us. This version is an easy to understand and read. If you believe there is a creator, or something, explore and let your heart guide you. Discover for your own salvation and make your own mind up. Don't let people's fear becomes your fears and constraints. Your alone in what comes next... or are you? or are your reading this just to understand Islamic culture and people around you? Whatever your journey and purpose, if from a good place, It's great for that also.
