From: Amazon Posted: Mar 05, 2006 Type: User Review Refuting The Claims Made by Other Reviewers

In response to the so called 'The Truth!!!' the passage in question was NOT used as proof of where the sun 'goes' in order to prove the Qur'an was the word of God. Verses such as this prove the Qur'an is the word of God :

Qur'an 41:...

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 13, 2006 Type: User Review Mistakes in the Koran

One of the questions which puzzled the ancient Arabs was, "Where did the sun go when night time came?" The Qur'an gave them Allah's answer.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 28, 2006 Type: User Review 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.

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 08, 2005 Type: User Review 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...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 31, 2005 Type: User Review Contemporary, accurate, unbiased translation.

This is a contemporary, accurate and unbiased translation of the Arabic Qur'an. The author is an expert in both Arabic and English, a Muslim, and has memorised the Qur'an from a young age - these are all very desirable qualities for a translator...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 23, 2005 Type: User Review This is a great translation...

I have approximately six different translations at home, including translations from Dawood (biased), Pickthall (a bit antiquated), Asad (great translation, a bit too rationalist) and one from Riyadh (not bad but definitely Wahhabi influenced)....

From: Amazon Posted: May 30, 2005 Type: User Review 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...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 15, 2005 Type: User Review 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...
