Product Description
At just six pounds, this reduced-size version of Muhammad Asad's classic English translation and explanation of the Qur'an is much easier to handle. With a prologue by the Gai Eaton and original artwork by Ahmed Moustafa, this translation is widely considered to be the foremost in conveying the meaning and sensibility of the original Arabic text, making this edition a must-have for both veteran scholars and English readers with a budding interest in Islamic studies.

A great show of respect to The Qur'an December 27, 2008
As a new revert to Islam, this translation and the production quality of this book is wonderful from the design to the educational content. The Arabic language is made very easy to understand by using an english translation that does not leave your mind guessing and grasping for meaning the words are clear so the knowledge gained from it benefits the reader. During my purchase I did order two translations of the Qur'an from Amazon at the same time and this book is the one I use the most because the publisher really treated the Book with respect the whole presentation is beautiful and they really did a wonderful job to educate the reader about what they are reading. I highly recommended it.
Great Explanations October 28, 2008
Great scholastic piece of work. If you are interested in learning whats in the holy Qur'an, or just want a deeper understanding of it, then I recommend this for you.
The Best Translation I've read September 3, 2008
Last year I was looking for a translation of the Quran that was both faithful to its spirit and yet still clear. I read many different translations and unfortunately I found them all unsatisfactory. They either used confusing archaic language, translated in an extremely partial way (without even noting where interpolations were used!) or else translated in such simple language that much of the spirit of the Quran was lost. Luckily one of my friends recommended this translation and from the first moment I read it I knew that it fit my needs exactly. I definitely recommend this translation for everyone.
The Best Interpretation I've Read..... August 13, 2008
Amazon as usual was able to give me this beautiful Qur'an that honestly is the best interpretation I have ever read. Though rare, this translation has been touted as the best english approximation to the Arabic that has been written. I have to agree. Even the pages are decoratated with beautiful calligraphy that truly accentuates the already present beauty within the pages of this translation. I am very excited to be reading it. Thank You and God Bless!!
Excellent Synopsis of a much misunderstood religion July 16, 2008
This explanation of the Qur'an provides clarification of a religion which has been portrayed very poorly on the media, or better yet, of which the media is extremely afraid of. This commentary of the Qur'an elucidates that Islam is a religion of peace and mercy, unlike the way it is portrayed on the media. After all, news media's motto is: "If it bleeds, it leads." Mohammad Asad, an Austrian Jewish convert to Islam, is a perfect example to show that the arms of Islam are open to embrace people of any religion or race. In fact, just like in the case of Asad, the doors of Islam are open to those converts to reach the highest spiritual and intellectual positions in Islam, such as becoming Islamic scholars who are regarded as the inheritors of the prophets, according to one tradition of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
