5.0 out of 5 stars Presenting the Qur'an in "plain terms" English, July 14, 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Approved by the Al-Azhar University, An Interpretation Of The Qur'an is a bilingual English and Arabic version of the Islamic holy text, the Qur'an. This translation, compiled by university professor Majid Fakhry and assisted by the late Mahmud Zayid, focuses upon presenting the Qur'an in "plain terms" English, as closely accurate to the original meaning as possible, while correcting some misconceptions from previous English translations and offering brief explanatory notes considering controversial or confusion portions. A handy index allows for quick lookup of assorted topics; however, An Interpretation Of The Qur'an focuses primarily upon the holy text itself, with very little extraneous material aside from an introduction that very briefly surveys the history of the Qur'an.
