The Holy Quran in English, Noble Quran English Translation by Marmaduke Pickthall: Premium Paperback Black Edition, Koran in English (annotated) Paperback – 9 April 2024

I downloaded this and read some of it. It is a good read.

It’s the most beautiful and the easiest way to understand the Quran . I cannot stress enough that this s is the best translation.

I really liked that each Surah is listed in the table of contents making it very easy for the reader to find whatever they are looking for. The Islamic name and the English translation of the Surah are both included, so it’s easy for the reader to understand what that Surah is about. For example, Surah 30 Ar-Rum is about The Roman Empire. In fact, I never realised each Surah covered a specific topic and that there was one covering the Roman Empire.The English translation is actually fairly easy to understand, which is quite an achievememnt considering it’s a translation of not only a foreign language (Arabi) but olde world syntax.The book is well formatted, and the translation is very well done, making it easy to read and understand.

I saw some comments that other readers found this translation confusing, because it was done in old english, as it should be to be in tune with the era that it was first made accessible to the public as a whole. I had no problem reading it at all. I am in my 50s, so know how to read, a skill that seems to be heavily diluted in these modern times...

I cannot recommend this edition as it only includes the English text. For the preservation and authenticity of the Holy Quran, it is essential to have the original Arabic text alongside the translation. This version misses that crucial aspect, which is important for proper understanding and reverence.

I have really enjoyed reading the Quran in English. I have read the Quran I Arabic however I am not an Arabic speaker so I am not able to understand the Quran in Arabic. So it is really good that Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall has translated this version. And everything is good about it. The context is all the Quran I have compared it with Quran.Com however it's style is old English and it appears very similar to the Bible in its writing style such as the word Lo appears a number of times. Overall it's a great read and something I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to gain a broader understanding of the part Islam plays in all the major religions of the world.
