"To deny the excellence of Maulvi Muhammad Ali's translation, the influence for good it has exercised and its proselytizing utility would be to deny the existence of the light of the sun." (Maulana Abdul Majid Daryabadi, leader of Orthodox Muslim opinion in India)

Critic reviews

"...by far the best text currently available in the English language...incontestably one of the finest interpretations of the scared scripture of Islam. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this translation to students and others seeking to understand the essence and epitome of the Quranic message." (Prof. T. Hargery, director, African Studies, Northeast Missouri State University, Kirksville)

"It is certainly a work of which any scholar might legitimately be proud." (The Quest, London)

the commentary is necessary for true understanding

at first I did not like the commentary, only because I did not have the knowledge of why it was there. I just wanted to speed through. BUT once I realized that commentary helped me truly digest the text. this was the only time I truly could not stop listening as I can see how everything resonates with current daily lives.. absolutely amazing!

Glitches

Satan is mad about the truth. Let the truth be heard! Better off purchasing the real thing.

Chapter number display is out of sync with recordings.

The chapters number sequence do not display the chapter that is currently playing (chapter 8 is displayed while chapter 4 is actually playing and so on).

without footnotes

I wish there was an option without footnotes. they are annoying. there should be an option to turn on only when desired. each and every one after a sentence is frustrating

Excellent

A must read companion to the
The One Year Chronological Bible NLT. This version of the holy Quaran is described as a cure for spiritual diseases. This book answers questions and offers insight. I would like it if Audible.com would add closed captioning for people learning to read or having handicaps or learning disabilities or language barriers.

problem with chapters

I'm very thankful that this english translation of this Qur'an exists. I would be even more thankful if they would fix the chapter list. It does not match up with the actual chapter that's being read.

Great Book!

I took a little while to get accustomed to how dramatically the narrator says the Name, Allah. But after you get pass that, you get into the power of the Holy Quran, being Blessed to understand it on whatever level you currently are spiritually.
