Review: Islam's proof in the proverbial 'pudding'... - asSalaamu3laykum (Peace be on you), A little over seven years ago, after reading so much about Islam and asking different people about Islam I decided to read The Qur'an myself. As someone who was Catholic and read much of the bible (usually KJV) and went to Catholic school I knew reading a holy book was quite an undertaking- especially if you care to actually understand it. I'd read and heard fairly good things about Islaam when it was presented in a factual manner... eventually I'd decided that I would read The Qur'an. Sure, you could say "It's not 'reading' The Qur'an unless it's in arabic..." but that's why I hunted down a translation that was explained and annotated/footnoted enough for me to understand it in more or less the same degree as it was meant to be understood... Being bilingual and knowing the shortcomings of explanation from one language to another I knew, more or less, what I was looking for in this department as well. I came across Yusuf Ali's rendition and, after spending about six and a half months of not turning a page until I felt I'd understood it, I'd finished Yusuf Ali's "Meaning of The Holy Qur'an." I see why people whom are prejudiced would not want people reading this book (The Qur'an, in general)- The Qur'an's originator- its claim to fame- is God Himself... His proof is The Qur'an itself (as claimed by The Qur'an). To me, it not only clarified many of the things I *highly* disagreed with about my religion of birth but left me convinced it was from God Himself. Say whatever you wish of me- but I've read this book end to end four times by three translators and still agree with it. Before judging me... have you read it, end to end, even once? Experiencing this book- reading and contemplating it- gave this ethereal feeling that its author knew me- knew my nuances and the very nature of all states of mankind (mentally and physically). This book makes Muslims out of people. It stands as an edifice that God is not the author of confusion... which is how the bible and priests who'd constantly tell me I had to accept Jesus (peace be upon him) as my savior since he paid for my sins- but this, I knew, went against the monotheistic law which he seemed to uphold in the bible (later changed by Paul). Jesus upheld the oneness of God... the "trinity" is not even mentioned in the bible- Paul made Him three and I *never* agreed with this. Two weeks after finishing this book, a little over seven years ago, I'd made my 'Shahadah'- proclamation of faith. I became what I believe to be a "better Christian"... I became Muslim. Think it might be worth a read? Well, as they'd say on Reading Rainbow (c), "...don't just take *my* word for it..." read it yourself. Review: The BEST English translation of the Quran. - An excellent English translation of the Quran by a reknown Muslim scholar. This translation also contains historical commentary to make it easier to understand the history and context of much of what is written, and helps to eliminate many common misunderstandings and misconceptions. A common misconception of Islam in the west is that it teaches hatred and religious intolerance. In truth this is not the case in real Islam. The portions that would seem at first glance to deliver such a message are shown clearly through the commentary not to be doing so, but rather is more of a historical commentary in much the same way as the wars in the Old Testement of the Bible are described. All in all an excellent translation for a native English speaker wishing to understand the core concepts of true Islam, and to also eliminate the common misconceptions surrounding it. Beyond this excellent commentary, the translation itself is very good, if perhaps using a vocabulary a bit more in line with more educated readers. All in all an excellent translation, and a must read for anyone interested in Islam. If you are only going to buy one translation of the Quran - make it this one. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #144,634 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Quran | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,084 Reviews | ## Images ![The Meaning of the Holy Qu'ran (English and Arabic Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912H1KKK3eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Islam's proof in the proverbial 'pudding'... *by R***L on April 18, 2005* asSalaamu3laykum (Peace be on you), A little over seven years ago, after reading so much about Islam and asking different people about Islam I decided to read The Qur'an myself.
