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. ( )

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. ( )
