The Quran - A Pure and Literal Translation

(Click Here to Show the Amazon.com Description...)

Over the course of centuries, Islam has undergone a process of sub-categorization into numerous denominations. As such, nearly all translators have belonged to one school of thought or another, allowing the influence of such denominations to come across in their interpretation of specific words or verses, and how they choose to translate them.

The Quran - A Pure and Literal Translation is the result of a group effort by people who do not belong to any denomination, and for the first time in many centuries, are simply proud to call themselves Muslims as God had named us centuries ago.

The Quran - A Pure and Literal Translation is also unique in the fact that it uses neither footnotes nor comments, letting the text speak for itself and delivering to the reader as close a rendition of the pure message of the Quran as physically possible.

Clear and lucid.

I have read numerous translations of the Quran from Muhammed Marmaduke Pickthall to Yusuf Ali to Muhammed Asad.

This by far has been the most clear and lucid translation.

It is in clear English and free from all the forced interpretations that are inserted via parantheses.

No sectarian bias or influence either.

A beautiful translation that will inspire.

The most accurate translation I could find.

I was looking for a literal translation of the Quran in contemporary, plain English that is easier to understand. I was also looking for a translation that does not include any side notes or footnotes because I wholeheartedly believe that God's words do not need any man-made footnotes or explanation.

This literal translation of the Quran is the best resource to study the Quran and understand the true Islam. It also has a brief introduction that shows the methodology used for translation and a guide to study the Quran.
