Perhaps the best Quran English translation. It is clear, easy to read, and very faithful to the Arabic original. It closely follows the Arabic text, and often reminds the reader of the Arabic original. It uses today's English language, and today's English vocabulary, thus it is easy to read and understand. The flow is smooth, the sentence structure is simple, the meaning is clear. This Quran translation has no interpretations, no footnotes, and no explanations. It is a pure translation of the Quran, from Arabic to English, and it does not try to emphasize any school of thought. The text purely and accurately translates the Holy Quran, from Arabic, into contemporary English. It was translated by a Muslim, who saw firsthand the miracles inside the Quran. His native language is Arabic; his everyday language is American English. For 15 years, he studied the Quran. For many years, he translated speech between his mother and his wife. For a living, he develops quality software. Available in two editions. This edition (A) uses the word 'Allah' to refer to the Creator. Edition B uses the word 'God'. CHAPTER 81. The Rolling. at-Takwir. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. When the sun is rolled up. 2. When the stars are dimmed. 3. When the mountains are set in motion. 4. When the relationships are suspended. 5. When the beasts are gathered. 6. When the oceans are set aflame. 7. When the souls are paired. 8. When the girl, buried alive, is asked: 9. For what crime was she killed? 10. When the records are made public. 11. When the sky is peeled away. 12. When the Fire is set ablaze. 13. When Paradise is brought near. 14. Each soul will know what it has readied. 15. I swear by the galaxies. 16. Precisely running their courses. 17. And by the night as it recedes. 18. And by the morn as it breathes. 19. This is the speech of a noble messenger. 20. Endowed with power, eminent with the Lord of the Throne. 21. Obeyed and honest. 22. Your friend is not possessed. 23. He saw him on the luminous horizon. 24. And He does not withhold knowledge of the Unseen. 25. And it is not the word of an accursed devil. 26. So where are you heading? 27. It is only a Reminder to all mankind. 28. To whoever of you wills to go straight. 29. But you cannot will, unless Allah wills-The Lord of the Worlds. The Quran is the last Book from the Creator. It contains guidance, mercy, and healing. The Quran is a blessing, within reach. Review: I like it - Giving it five stars because I am reading it every night and just at a time right now where I want some Qur'an translation that is easy to read. This is easy to read whilst still maintaining the integrity Qur'an translation demands. It does not have footnotes and headers and all of the other fancy things. It is a basic translation. I don't think this should be a Muslim's only guide. But a resource for sure. Review: The Quran must be read. - Reading the Quran is a great experience that you will not regret. This is very topical and applicable to our world today. It is exciting and an interesting book. Whatever your views are on Allah or Christ, the Quran is the playbook to the Muslims as the Holy Bible is to Christians. Get the facts of their teachings, nor rumors. The Quran teaches on the beginning, early Adam and Eve, their sin or error, and and on and on, and who Allah is. Who Muhammed is. Their demands on every aspect of life ez. A must read.

29+30 are also great points to consider
I needed this for my studies. It's in clear English on par with the Christian Bible's ESV version. As far as the mistakes on Christian "Trinity Doctrine" in Sura 4 and 5 as well as many others, an understanding of Islam is very needed in today's world. Sura 2:191, 8:12, 9:6, 9:29+30 are also great points to consider. As far as being "inspired" the reader should make their own choice, but remember after Mohammad's death, Uthman gathered the Quarn's parts he felt were correct and BURNED the rest. Let the reader make their own thoughts...well worth the read however.

Important to Know bout Islam
Curious about religions in general, but realizing that I knew nothing about Islam, I fund that reading the Quran was very educational and I'm amazed at how ignorant most of us in the USA are about this very widely held religion. Of course, not knowing anything about Islam does not keep great numbers of people from pontificating about how their own religion is superior.

quran - not easy to read, contains discrepancies
sura 4:82 stresses that there are no discrepancies in the quran - and the muslim believes it to be so and without error. this translation though contains discrepancies although it claims to be 'clear, easy to read, [in] modern english and pure. in other words the cover contradicts the content EXCEPT if 'pure' is a reference to a good translation [discrepancies included], in which case 'clear' and 'easy to read' are downright misleading and false. examples of discrepancies include: is allah in charge of belief? 6:12 vs 10:100 satan or allah misleads? 4:119-120 vs 16:93 persecute/fight unbelievers [read christians and jews] or forgive them? 9:29 vs 45:14 determination of human sex 53:45-46 vs 75:38-39 what to do if parents are not muslims? 31:15 vs 9:23 only soul or body and soul in paradise? 17:98/75:3-4 vs 31:28 does allah need mankind or is it the other way around? 51:56/67:2 vs 35:15 evil and good - both from allah? 4:78 vs 4:79 mohammad initially politically correct against non-muslims, then radical! 3:20 vs 8:38/39

Always learning other religions.
It is easy to read but because it isn't my religion (I am LDS) and I want an understanding of another religion it is a bit hard to understand. Patience it what I need. I am trying to study all religions so that I am more knowledgeable in that area.

Easy read
Does as it says. Clearly written. I brought this to compare to the Bible. This book is clearly written for those who want to have an insight into this religion. I will be looking out for the Tanakh in this format.

Accurate Version, Accessible Fair Price, Thank You
Talal Itani's translation is accurate and you can check on various online translations for English. They could have increased the price of the Holy Quran as did all the other sellers, this was the only Quran I could afford. It's an affordability crisis and Canada and when I needed spiritual guidance, while the Quran online is helpful, I needed this. Thank you for keeping the Quran affordable. This is a very good version.

understandable and straightforward qur'an
This Qur'an is a pleasure to read. Some Qur'ans in English are more difficult but good for study. This one is good to sit down with a cuppa and just read. That's not to say it's simplistic and just a paraphrase; when I compare it with my other Qur'an (Al-Hilali and Khan), it appears to be a faithful translation, but it is easier to read. I use both and wouldn't be without either but I use each of them differently. The only regret I have is that it's not available in a hardcover.
