Stunning
After reviewing nearly 20 different translations of the Islamic holy book, this translation exceeds all others. It's poetry diction, footnotes and sheer brilliance and understanding of the text make this the best hands down.

Easy to read and great translation
This is perhaps the best english translation of the Qur'an out there. The translator shows so much respect and love for the Qur'an throughout. I have quite a few translations, but this is the only one I read. Although not a study Qur'an, there...

Pretty but disappointing
This very pretty and readable Koran, is not as good as it appears. The translation is not bad and it is accurate, however lack of a good index can make searching for subjects hard, if one is looking for a Koran that they might use for reference...

Like No Other
Intelligently interpreted to cut through the otherwise unavoidable problems of translation. Very well structured, it gives a contextual sense to the reader before every chapter -alerts the reader as if to say, "wake up, zoom out for a second," so...
