    This is a beautiful edition of the Qur'an, which reads from right to left instead of left to right. The pages are as thin as the pages you might find in most Christian bibles. The commentaries are useful & it's sure to be a worthwhile read for those who want to study the Qur'an.

    This book includes the Qur'an in English and Arabic along with a commentary. As translations go, I like this one. The Qur'an is often elliptical in its expression and this copy glosses in the elipses in parenthesis in the translation. There are also certain words that I often think are translated wrong in many editions, but as many as I have checked in this book they are correct. A lot of tears were poured into this work to get it right. I like the translation, and the commentary usually answers plausibly the questions I have.

    I was blown away by the scholoarship in this volume. I can't speak to the quality of the translation, and what slaveofOne says makes sense to me, but the number and extent of cross references into the Christian literature were surprising. As well as I can judge such things, this appears to be a very good volume for comparative religion purposes.

    Arabic, the most beautiful script in the world! And you get plenty of it here. The "actual" Qur'an is presented along with a translation that flows beautifully for easy reading. Lengthy notes on every page offer commentary. Overall a very good resource. The translation, however, leaves something to be desired in terms of faithfulness to the text. It is a very liberalized translation and the notes explain the Surahs anachronistically from a 21st Century Modernist perspective as if Muhammad could have ever meant some of the "meanings" The Meaning of the Holy Qur'an gives it. Not recommended for hardcore, in-depth study.
