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 1400 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 read 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.

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. Review: Super read! translated words of god excellently to English! - An excellent translation of the Quran from its original language form (Arabic) to English. The summary at the start of each surah, gives a useful overview to help put each surah into context every word is in everyday mordern English. It contains an excellent history lesson on the life of Muhammed (pbuh) and when the revelations started to appear to him. Each Sura(chapter)in the Qur'an has a short explanation of the name. Another good feature is the author makes it clear when the angel Gabriel is addressing the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) directly and I also welcomed the author's use of footnotes, which provide additional commentary on specific verses. This translation is easy to read and very easy to follow and get lost in. The result is a very readable and easy to understand complete translated version of the Quran. I would thoroughly recommend this for both Muslims and non-Muslims who want to develop their knowledge of Islam and the Quran the word of god. Thank you so much, peace to you.

This is by far the most accessible and easy to understand translation of the Quran I have come across. Used by many mainstream and Sufi Islamic scholars today to teach a better understanding of the religion and help Muslims and others better understand the common tenets of the religion, misunderstood verses etc. Highly recommend this for both a) individual study and exploration, and also b) group or individual studies on a short to medium term or long term programme with a qualified scholar at a well respected institution (to avoid misconstruing the verses, taking them out of their context and misapplying them due to a misunderstanding over the meaning of the Arabic in that historical/revelation context). For those of us who struggle to access recommendations (I know I did a few yrs ago)...some institutions that use this text are CEI, Wilaya Trust, and, I think, Oxford University itself. However, if you are looking for a version of the text that also has the Arabic (side by side, for example) please note this does not have the original Arabic text. You'll want a separate Arabic/English Quran for that. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Qur'an (Oxford World's Classics) - The New Testament: The King James Version (Everyman's Library) - Confessions --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48422266-the-quran](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48422266-the-quran) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-29*
