The English translation only option uses God instead of Allah and the English names for Prophets, allowing the Quran to be easy and clear for non-Muslims.
For a translation to do justice to the Quran and capture its elegance and vigour, 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 used 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 Sura (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.
