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.

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.

*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....
ReplyDeleteLOL! It's the Ahmed Ali translation. You cans find it here: http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Koran-Interpreted-S-V-Ahmed/dp/B000B8K7LI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1291759869&sr=8-3
ReplyDeleteIt'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. : )
ReplyDelete:) let me know what you think of The Holy Qur'an?.
ReplyDeleteCool! 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.
ReplyDeleteAmber, I'll send it to you when I get home. :)
ReplyDeleteSarah, to see what I think of the Qur'an, see my newest post. :)
