"Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful one who taught by the pen, who taught man what he did not know."

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature.

Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations. This new translation is written in a contemporary idiom that remains faithful to the original, making it easy to listen to while retaining its powers of eloquence. Archaisms and cryptic language are avoided and the Arabic meaning preserved by respecting the context of the discourse. The message of the Qur'an was directly addressed to all people regardless of class, gender, or age, and this translation is equally accessible to everyone.

About the series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Very calm and soothing oration. Sounds like a meditation/therapy app, but it’s the Holy Quran. Very nice

Beautifully narrated

Translation is beautiful, easy to listen to, and vouce is clear and very soothing. I was not that impressed just because they replaced "Allah" with "God" (my humble opinion).

Beautiful Transition

This selection was a very educational and inspiring. It provided a lot of background knowledge in substance for the reader allowing them to have a more firm grasp on the concepts being discussed. A must read for those looking to broaden their knowledge of the qur'an.

Really enjoyed this translation, I love how the Surah’s is explained before and then read out loud. His narrations are very easy to follow and very clear. Amazing.

Lot of skipping in the audio. Kept having to restart the app. This is a very good translation of the Message.

Audio playback issues.

I was reluctant to listen to a new translation at first, but this does a good job of bringing things into more plain text and works really well serving as a cross reference guide to other translations —opening up more perspectives in understanding the word.

helpful overviews in the beginning

This is my third english version of the Qur’an and by far the most meaningful.
I have also read the Bible, done some theology and have some understanding of Hindu and Buddhist faith.
The Prophet brought an end to the internecine quarrels among the Arab tribes and the faith that He brought forth became the medium. Similarly Christianity could be credited with the Unification of Europe over a longer time frame.
However Peace is surely not the result in the later interactions of the major populations of the world to the present day. In fact faith seems a hinderance than a help in the Divine Purpose of Peace.
The primacy of Faith over Peace I believe is the cause of all strife in the world. The exact opposite what we believe the Prophets lived for.

Peace the Primary Divine Purpose

I also have it in print and it’s one of my favorite english translation of the holy Quran. My only issue is with the narration - clear but a bit monotone.

Great Translation
