The Clear Quran with Thematic English Translation – Handy Paperback (8.4″ x 5.8)

The Clear Quran with Thematic English Translation- Paperback (8.4″ x 5.8″) Pleasant to read, easy to understand, and noted for its clarity, accuracy, eloquence, and flow. Approved by Al-Azhar and endorsed by Al-Furqaan Foundation and The Canadian Council of Imams. About the Translation 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. 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 is now the finest translation of the Final Revelation.
