Description from the publisher:

English Translation with Arabic Text

For a translation to do justice to the Quran and capture its elegance and vigor; it has to be accurate; smooth; eloquent; and accessible. Unlike most popular translations; The Clear Quran masterfully passes on all counts.

ABOUT THE TRANSLATIONThousands of hours have been put into this work over the last few years to guarantee accuracy; clarity; eloquence; and flow. To achieve accuracy; the translator has made use of the greatest and most celebrated works of old and modern tafsir (Quran commentaries); and shared the work with several Imams in North America for feedback and insight. For clarity; every effort has been made to select easy to understand words and phrases that reflect the beauty; flow; and power of the original text. Along with informative footnotes and surah (chapter) introductions; verses have been grouped and titled based on their themes for a better understanding of the chapters; their main concepts; and internal coherence. Thanks to our dedicated team of scholars; editors; and proofreaders; we believe that what you are holding in your hands now is the finest translation of the Final Revelation.

This translation has been officially approved by Al-Azhar (the most prestigious school of Islamic knowledge in the world) and endorsed by ISNA and the Canadian Council of Imams.
