Review: Good translation - Good english translation, easy to understand Review: Great, accessible, easy to read translation that's well respected by spiritual and academic scholars - a must read/own for every Muslim Also 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 both a) individual study and exploration, and also b) 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 7,919 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2 in Koran | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (7,351) | | Dimensions | 12.9 x 2.3 x 19.7 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0199535957 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0199535958 | | Item weight | 430 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 512 pages | | Publication date | 17 April 2008 | | Publisher | OUP Oxford | | Reading age | 13 years and up | ## Images ![The Qur'an - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7164eFzyjrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good translation *by S***B on 24 February 2026* Good english translation, easy to understand ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, accessible, easy to read translation that's well respected by spiritual and academic scholars *by M***E on 5 March 2021* a must read/own for every Muslim Also highly recommend for anyone vaguely interested in Islam.

The summary at the start of each surah, gives a useful overview to help put each surah into context every word is in everyday mordern English. It contains an excellent history lesson on the life of Muhammed (pbuh) and when the revelations started to appear to him. Each Sura(chapter)in the Qur'an has a short explanation of the name. Another good feature is the author makes it clear when the angel Gabriel is addressing the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) directly and I also welcomed the author's use of footnotes, which provide additional commentary on specific verses. This translation is easy to read and very easy to follow and get lost in. The result is a very readable and easy to understand complete translated version of the Quran. I would thoroughly recommend this for both Muslims and non-Muslims who want to develop their knowledge of Islam and the Quran the word of god. Thank you so much, peace to you.
