Interpretation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an in the English Language: A Summarized Version of At-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi and Ibn Kathir with comments from Salih Al-Bukhari

In the Name of ALMIGHTY GOD, THE ONE,THE ABSOLUTE.With The Permission of ALMIGHTY GOD,THE ONLY ONE WHO IS TRULY REAL,I, as a Sufi Muslim, and as an Islamic Theologian and Researcher of Religions, say with full authority that this is one of the Best Translations of The Holy Quran. The English is very easy to understand, so even non native speakers pf English can read It very well provided that they know fluently the English Language.This Translation is 99.9% identical to the Arabic Text.The entire Translation has no Salafi influence.The commentary made by the translators is, in general, good and useful.JUST BEAR IN MIND THAT IN THE APPENDIX 2, YOU FIND THE SALAFI MUSLIM CONCEPT OF GOD.MUHSIN KHAN AND HILALI ASCRIBE HANDS, FACE, AND OTHER APPARENT ANTHROPOMORPHIC QUALITIES TO ALMIGHTY GOD, THOUGH THEY SAY THAT THESE QUALITIES HAVE NO RESEMBLANCE TO THE QUALITIES OF ALLAH'S CREATURES.THOUGH THE SALAFI MUSLIM CONCEPT OF GOD IS ACCEPTABLE, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS INCLUDING MYSELF DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CONCEPT.ISLAM TEACHES THAT GOD IS BEYOND-BEING AND INFINITELY GREATER THAN ALL HIS NAMES. ALMIGHTY GOD, AS A MERCY FROM HIMSELF TOWARDS HIS CREATURES, CREATED HIS NAMES AND ASCRIBED THEM TO HIMSELF ONLY, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM. BUT ALMIGHTY GOD TRANSCENDS ALL KNOWLEDGE AND TRANSCENDS INFINITY ITSELF.Being myself a Sufi Muslim, I strongly recommend this Translation of the Holy Quran.There are other English Translations that are also very close to the Arabic Quran. They are:– Maulana Wahiduddin Khan's Translation;– The Study Quran, translated by a group of Scholars under the supervision of Seyyed Hossein Nasr;– The Translation made by Abdulmajid Daryabadi;– Talal Itani's Translation;– Ali Quli Qara i Translarion;– M. A. S. Abdel Haleem's Translation;– The Translation of Abdulhaqq and Aisha Bewley;This are the Translations I know and I recommend any of them.Many lay muslims and many muslim theologians, wrongly say that the Arabic Quran is untranslatable.By ALMIGHTY GOD!! They are uttering a tremendous lie!!! The Quran is the Last Message of ALMIGHTY GOD to all Humanity. So It has to be properly translated into every language of the World. Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, is his translation of the Quran which I mentioned above says the same thing as I. I say this without diminishing the Translations I recommended.The Quran urges men and women to use the Intelect that ALMIGHTY GOD gave to them. And in countless passages of The Holy Quran, it is plainly stated that the Holy Quran is a Message of GOD, THE ABSOLUTE, to all Mankind.Muslims are backwards today precisely because they read the Arabic Quran without knowing It's meaning.When Muslims read the Holy Quran in their own languages, Muslims produced a Remarkable Civilization, being masters in all fields of Knowledge!!Read The Quran in your own mother language, for your entire life!! The more you read the more you will learn if ALMIGHTY GOD, THE ABSOLUTE, wills so.The Holy Quran is very easy to understand. ALMIGHTY GOD, THE ABSOLUTE, says that in the Quran:"I made the Quran easy to learn. Is there anyone who would learn?"(Chapter 54, Verses 17, 22, 32 and 40)May Peace be with you all.

Bought it for my niece and she said because it’s easy to understand she reads a page a day

Very good service

This Quran has references to the tafsirs that are used for verses which are not clear in the Quran. It also has the Arabic and the transliteration of what it sounds like to help.There were some verses which were not accurately described in other Qurans but this Quran is a lot more truthful to the translation and sources which really helped me learn more about Islam.

this qu’ran is so simple to read and understand for someone who doesn’t understand arabic with translation that isn’t controversial. i would highly recommend for anyone.

Letter is to small for me to read.....Other wise all is great.

As a revert, this is by far the easiest version of the Quran to understand, and does a great job of explaining the context of what the ayahs and surahs mean. I own 4 or 5 Quran’s and this is by far the best, for a better understanding. 5*

This translation of the Qur'an has helped me to understand better the meanings in the text. I recommend this to anyone new to Islam.
