The Qur'an (Koran) that I read.

This is the version of the Qur'an/Koran that I have. Well, I have several, but this is my favorite.



The translation is clear and modern English, the font is a good size, and it even has an index in the back that helps me find verses on certain topics. : )

I don't know what the general consensus is on this translation, but I like it.

  1. *pokes* What translation is it? The pic doesn't enlarge when I click it and I can't see anything on the cover anyway that identifies the translator, etc. Enquiring minds want to know....

  3. It's out of print in that version and silly expensive (for a paperback) on Amazon. I have a couple of extra copies and would be delighted to send you one of them when I get back next year, if you would like me to. : )

  5. Cool! I'd love to have a copy if you're sure you can part with one. :) It's always good to have different translations of books for comparison.
