Simply the Best: After reading many translations (including most respected valuable works of Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Asad) this one stands out in many respects. First of all it is very easy to understand. In a language we use everyday.. Has very informative and detailed explanations of the verses. At the end of the book there is a very informative Appendix, which itself is like a seperate book, on various hot topics on Islam.. Like -Women in Islam, - Islam and war, -predestiny, - Resurection... etc A nice glossary of Islamic terms at the end It is from a mainstream Suni perspective. Informative drawings and pictures.. Perfect cover and paper quality (mine is hardcover version) Basicly, ...if you are looking for a clear and simple translation ...if you want to go beyond the bare translation and search into the details ...if you dont have time to read big volumes of Tafseer (commentaries. for the Muslim and Non-Muslim alike, this is the best translation you can get..
Great translation, good explanation, everybody needs a copy: I am glad I have a copy of this translation. It is great for all kinds of people-Muslim and Non-Muslim...Strongly recommended.
easy to understand, perfect, incompareable,: in my opinion this holly Qur'an should be in every library. everybody should read the meaning of Qur'an again from this book. you will see and understand what happened and lived at the time of Holly Qur'an was sent.
Wonderful translation/interpretation: I am not a Quran scholar and would not presume to comment on the accuracy of this translation/interpretation, but I have found that whenever I compare Unal's translation to others including Yusuf Ali, Pickthall, Nooruddin and the new translation by Abdel Haleem, I find no difference in meaning. What I appreciate most about this translation, other than reading Quran in modern English, is the inclusion of numerous reference pages including glossaries of the Beautiful Names of Allah, names of prophets, companions, rulers and others mentioned in Quran, and a glossary of terms. This 1365 page book also includes list of references including those of compilers of tafsir and translators. The tafsir, or commentary, written by Unal is comprehensive and includes information often missing in other commentaries, which usually assume the reader is better educated in the Islamic sciences than most are in this day and age.
book of hate: How anyone can read the Qur'an and not read the hatred steeping from it is beyond me. Good Lord, it's brutal. I have the quotes.
