Publisher's Summary

"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.

Excellent!

This audible Quran has a very informative explaining at the beginning. It explains the history behind the Quran and with each chapter, it has a brief explanation. The actual reading is in, an easy to understand English. The reciter has a nice pleasant voice as well. I have listen to it several times over and with each time, I learn something new, which amazes me.😊 I would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning about Islam. ☪️

Flowing

For the first time, a lot of things made sense, and I think this is due to paragraphs within that topic dedicated concepts. It helped me conceptualize so many things that have been lingering in my mind. May God bless the author, and whoever took part in making this available for people. Amen.

Excellent introduction on the history of the Qur'an and history of english translations. Introduction explains the benefit of this translation over others.

Very educational

I am not Islamic in any way but wanted to educate myself on the Qur’an. It is very informative and worth reading if you want to understand the Islamic religion better.
