I recommend it to all Muslime and non-Muslims.The best modern unbaised translation and of the Holy Quran Of all of the english translations and interpetations of the Holy Quran that I have personally read or examined M. Asad has done the best overall job. His background as a western 20th century educated Jew who later 're-verted' to the true faith of Islam and aquired the lingual skills necessary to understand the classical arabic of the Holy Quran gives this work a fresh and accurate interpretation uncluttered by cultural misunderstandings and bias in a clear modern presentation. Highly recommended for novices and scholars alike.
