Review: Great Stories and Translations - I picked this book up as I'm not great at reading or understanding Arabic, fortunately this book had almost everything I was looking for. The layout is pretty good and the translations are great, I enjoyed and appreciated this book. Each story has many quotes from the Quran translated to English. I wish it was longer and went into more details with certain stories but other than that, I definitely recommend this book.
