The Clear Quran-English Only2 Column LayoutHardcover (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781967112012)

THE CLEAR QURAN(R) Series is one of the most eloquent attempts to masterfully and accurately capture the elegance and vigor of the Quran in modern English. Its clarity for an average reader is evident in the choice of easy-to-understand words and phrases that reflect the original text's beauty, flow, and power. Along with just enough footnotes to clarify complex and contextual meanings and brief Surah (chapter) introductions, this copy groups verses and titles them based on the theme of those verses (hence the word Thematic in the title), to provide internal coherence to readers - Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Thanks to the dedicated team of scholars, editors, and proofreaders led by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, we believe THE CLEAR QURAN(R) Series is the finest translation of the Final Revelation in the English language available today.

Key Features of The Clear Quran(R) Series:

• • Modern English: The translation is presented in contemporary English, ensuring accessibility for a broad audience.
  • Thematic Arrangement: Unlike traditional translations that follow the Quran's chronological order, The Clear Quran(R) Series is organized thematically, allowing readers to explore specific topics easily.
  • Extensive Footnotes: Detailed footnotes provide context, explanations, and historical background, enriching the reader's understanding.
  • Arabic Text: Many editions include the original Arabic text alongside the English translation, enabling readers to compare and contrast effectively.
