The Majestic Qur'an - Interpretation & Commentary by Abdal Hakim Murad, Mostafa al-Badawi and Uthman Hutchinson. This translation is distinctive among the dozens of existent English translations of the Qur'an because of the fluidity and clarity of its language, the elegance of its style, and the inclusion of more than 800 explanatory notes. The modern standard English makes the message of the Qur'an easily accessible to today's reader. People want to read for themselves what the Qur'an projects: the message it offers, the spirituality it excites, and the world view it establishes.

The Qur'an, translated by Thomas Cleary. This is a new and complete translation of the Muslim scripture by one of the world's most renowned translators of spiritual texts. Thomas Cleary has brilliantly rendered the meaning of the Qur'an with a result that has eluded nearly every available English translation to date. When reading Cleary's translation, the reader receives a subtle sense of sublimity of the Arabic original, thereby opening a door normally closed to non-Arabic speakers, through which one gets a feel, however delicate, for a scripture that has moved billions upon billions of people for 14 centuries.
