According to many believers, the Holy Qur’an has been preserved in its exact form for 1,400 years, just as God revealed it to the Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel. And though it speaks of peace and justice, many people in this time of uncertainty and war are unfamiliar with the Qur'an's true message. This erudite, easy-to-follow translation presents the verses from the Qur’an in an unbiased manner and offers detailed commentary that expands readers' understanding of both Islam and its most sacred text.

Holy Quran : Complied by Mir Ahmed Ali,
By Abrahim N (Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holy Qur'an (Hardcover)
This is an excellent English Translation of the Quran that is a must for any realy sincere student of religion trying to learn about Islam. The translation is easy to understand but still has some old engligh in it that makes it difficult to understand at times. The best part of this Qur'an compared to most others is the commentary and notes that accompy the text. Not only is there notes on the meaning of a verse but also an introduction to the chapter and an introduction to Islam and the Quran in general. This commentary is an excellent source of information and a huge help when trying to understand the enviroment at the time of the verses were reveled and so forth. I only wish this book had a better subject index. But I have found great search engines on the web that allow for searching for a specific subject, word, multiple word, and so forth. ...

This review is from: The Holy Qur'an (Hardcover)
This translation of the Quran has one of the best commentaries I have read. Many verses in this translation are explained in the footnotes. References are given for most of the footnotes/explanation which helps the reader realize that the explanation given is not the translator's own opinion.A footnote/sidenote is added whenever the translator thinks that a word in Arabic needs further clarification or can have more than one meaning. Many times in the translation, the occasion when a given verse was revealed is also given which helps the reader learn Quran better. An attempt has been made to describe a verse of the Quran using another verse of the quran based on the saying of Imam Ali(a.s.) that one part of the Qur'an verifies another part. The other source of explanation of the verses are sayings of Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) and the sayings of the Imams of his family(peace be upon them). Sources from the Ahl-Sunnat school of thought are also adequately mentioned, although that is done primarily to strengthen a particular point that is mentioned in the translator's footnotes. Overall, this is a great work and should be read by anyone who is interested in learning about Islam, Quran and Islamic History. However, there are also some defects in this translation/edition. The paper used is very thin but this was probably necessary because the explanations are in detail and exist for many verses. There are a few verses for which there are some typographical errors, e.g. missing dots. Some verses have incomplete translation, for example, the translation of 8:48 is missing the following portion of the ayat, "Inni Akhaf Allah" which should translate as "Surely I fear Allah". Someone with rudimentary knowledge of Arabic should be able to spot these mistakes.
