"There is no other translation or commentary of the Holy Qur'an in the English language to compete with Maulvi Muhammad Ali's masterpiece." (Al-Haj Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar, translator of the Holy Qur'an)

"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)

"...has all the merits of what is desired in a translation." (The Anjuman Himayat-e-Islam, Lahore, Pakistan)

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)

Excellent!

Finally a an english reading with the footnotes included! This is good for people who may not be familiar with Arabic.

Not what I expected

Titles do not coincide with chapters. Otherwise a very comprehensive and appreciated read from the speaker.

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.

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
