A non-Muslim review

I recently received this copy of the Qur'an as a gift. And while not a Muslim, I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to study Islam. With verses in English, Arabic, and transliterated; along with notes and references galore, this copy of the Qur'an gives a solid background on Islam and Islamic culture.

Excellent

A fine translation of the meaning of the Quran and an excellent commentary upon it. Some may find some of the commentary controversial as much of Muhammad Asad's work writing is taken from the Arabic commentaries of Zamakhshari the famous Arabic grammarian and supporter of the Mutazilah or 'rationalist' school of Islam and the writings of the late Shaikh Muhammad Abduh who remains to this day a controversial figure because of his 'modernist' interpretation of some aspects of the Quran that traditional Muslims continue to disapprove of.

Ignoring that, the commentary does reflect the beauty of the Arabic language and the traditions of Arab culture. It is unfortunate that it is not more well known and not taught as a study guide of the Quran in Islamic studies departments in the U.K. as it remains the only commentary (by a westerner) of its kind.

A Muslim

One of the user "Al-Qaradawi" has written a review about a book called "The True Furqan (TTF)". It has nothing to do with Quran. Quran is the wod of Allah, the creator of all the wolds. But this book (TTF) is nothing but joke! Don't waste your precious time in reading it. There is a contradiction on the very first page i.e. Blessing, ayat 4 contradicts ayat 6. Similarly, Surat Al-Mahabbah, ayat 10 contradicts Surat Al-Thalooth, ayat 2. There is a spelling mistake in Surat Al-Emaan, ayat 6! There are grammatical errors in Surat Al-Tuhr, ayat 10 & Surat Al-Gharaneq, ayat 13! Zero stars for that book!

Wow!! I just finished reading The Message of The Qur'an and am blown away by the amazing quality of this translation. It took Muhammad Asad 17 years to produce this work, and it shows in the depth of the translation, notes and appendices. He has an incredible talent for taking any obscure passage and explaining its meaning and significance in a plausible, logical, and moderate way. This edition contains extensive footnotes, with liberal alternative explanations of key passages from other leading Islamic scholars. Every surah also has a brief introduction into the historical context and/or the significance of the revelation. This is BY FAR the best translation I've read, and has given me a greater depth and understanding of the Qur'an than I've ever had. If you want to learn more about the Qur'an, I'd highly recommend this edition to anyone.
