About this ebook

Perhaps the best Quran English translation. It is clear, easy to read, and very faithful to the Arabic original. It closely follows the Arabic text, and often reminds the reader of the Arabic original. It uses today's English language, and today's English vocabulary, thus it is easy to read and understand. The flow is smooth, the sentence structure is simple, the meaning is clear. 

This Quran translation has no interpretations, no footnotes, and no explanations. It is a pure translation of the Quran, from Arabic to English, and it does not try to emphasize any school of thought. The text purely and accurately translates the Holy Quran, from Arabic, into contemporary English. 

It was translated by a Muslim, who saw firsthand the miracles inside the Quran. His native language is Arabic; his everyday language is American English. For 15 years, he studied the Quran. For many years, he translated speech between his mother and his wife. For a living, he develops quality software. 

This Quran translation is available in two editions. This edition (A) uses the word "Allah" to refer to the Creator. Edition (B) uses the word "God". 

Quran Sura 91. The Sun. ash-Shams. 
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 
1. By the sun and its radiance. 
2. And the moon as it follows it. 
3. And the day as it reveals it. 
4. And the night as it conceals it. 
5. And the sky and He who built it. 
6. And the earth and He who spread it. 
7. And the soul and He who proportioned it. 
8. And inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness. 
9. Successful is he who purifies it. 
10. Failing is he who corrupts it. 
11. Thamood denied in its pride. 
12. When it followed its most wicked. 
13. The messenger of Allah said to them, "This is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink." 
14. But they called him a liar, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled it. 
15. And He does not fear its sequel. 

The Quran is the last Book from the Creator. It contains guidance, mercy, and healing. The Quran is a blessing, within reach. 

Ratings and reviews

In surah Baqrah verse 62 I found a error that I believe was intentionally done. It is the type of error you would have to go out of your way to do. That verse talked about the Jews and Christians in past tense where as in this translation it talks about them in present tense which fundamentally changed the message conveyed in that part. I just read up till there and I don't think I can complete this book because I wouldn't know where similar errors are made.

The comments about muslims is ignorant. You have the right to beleive whatever you want to.. You should not judge and you dont know what that persons path is . I was a former Christian Baptist.. Who have now find my way and path. I will never stuff allah on anyone as christianity was done to me. So lets not try to judge maybe if some of you read, you might find yourself. The judgement your passing is showing you are lost and not following your christians views either! So good day
