Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Containing the full Arabic text of the Qur'an, an accompanying English translation, and extensive commentary, this is a compilation of the Muslim faith's Final Revelation from God to mankind through the last Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon Him. The Qur'an has a wealth of information--both worldly wisdom and intellectual concepts--providing a code of life for humankind generally and Muslims in particular. Indeed, the Qur'an's miracle lies in its ability to offer something to non-believers and everything to believers. This elegantly-packaged edition includes a ribbon marker and is fully indexed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work - Maybe the Best Translation, July 31, 2001
By Thomas F. Ogara (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Out of the several English translations of the Quran which I own, I most definitely consider this one to be the best one available on the market. It is also the best bilingual one that I have encountered. The translation is faithful, and never prone to flights of fancy. Students of Arabic can rely on being able to follow the English translation as being virtually literal, while still being literary; whatever confusion regarding meaning that there may be is virtually always explained clearly in the copious notes.

I am gratified to learn that this translation is highly thought of in the Muslim world, although I'm not surprised. The other great feature of the book is the commentary. It was obviously written with the Western, specifically Christian reader in mind, and while you may not agree with everything Yusuf Ali has to say (personally, I'm not so sure that Protestant Christianity is the Christian group closest in spirit to Islam!) you will certainly feel that his opinions are well-founded. In fact, one might consider this book as a great primer on the beliefs of Islam for the non-Muslim, and not just another translation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great translation, lousy print - recommend amana print, July 30, 2000
By A Customer
The Yusuf Ali translation of the Qur'an has long been considered among the most precise and eloquent renderings of the holy book of Muslims into English. However, I would recommend purchasing the amana publications version of this work, due to its superior print quality and binding. amazon.com thankfully now sells it, its ISBN is 0915957760 . The Meaning of the Holy Qur'an Abdullah Yusuf Ali.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor printing quality., July 17, 2000
By A Customer
I ordered this Koran translation for a gift, but it turned out that the quality of the printing was very disappointing. I wish Amazon would give better attention to the printing quality of books offered. I already have Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation of the Holy Koran, but from a different publisher. For this particular translation of the Koran, I personally recommend the one published by Saba Islamic Media, or by Amana Corporation. Apart from the printing quality, I strongly recommend this translation of the Holy Koran (by Abdullah Yusuf Ali) for English-speaking moslems or non-moslems who'd like to know more about Islam.
