Review: Very nice - Wanted another English translation to compare to my other Quran while I learn Arabic. Really appreciated this translation. Very clear to understand and the footnotes were helpful at times Review: The smoothest-reading English version, with parallel Arabic text - Of the dozens of English versions of the Noble Qur'an that I have sampled, by far this one by Abdel Haleem is the most smooth-reading. This edition also includes the parallel Arabic text. Other reviewers have noted the somewhat small size of the print, both English and Arabic, and it is small. But at the same time, I would say the print is exceptionally clear and therefore definitely usable. The layout of every page includes 15 lines of Arabic text, finishing each page with the end of a verse; the rendering into English is provided in full on the same page, for easy comparison. This hardback edition is fine-looking inside and out, partly owing to a sharp, colorful Arabesque dust jacket. The "used-very good-open box" volume that I chose from the seller awesomebooksusa was a great buy at less than half the price of a brand new one. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #80,900 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Islam (Books) #19 in Islamic Theology (Books) #22 in Quran | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 966 Reviews | ## Images ![The Qur'an: English translation and Parallel Arabic text - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717N9RsMSaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice *by A***R on July 13, 2025* Wanted another English translation to compare to my other Quran while I learn Arabic. Really appreciated this translation. Very clear to understand and the footnotes were helpful at times ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The smoothest-reading English version, with parallel Arabic text *by S***R on October 18, 2022* Of the dozens of English versions of the Noble Qur'an that I have sampled, by far this one by Abdel Haleem is the most smooth-reading. This edition also includes the parallel Arabic text. Other reviewers have noted the somewhat small size of the print, both English and Arabic, and it is small.

The "used-very good-open box" volume that I chose from the seller awesomebooksusa was a great buy at less than half the price of a brand new one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best English translations of the Quran *by T***S on August 26, 2010* I ordered this translation to read and compare it alongside other English translations. This translation was published in 2010 and because it is a recent translation, it is written in contemporary English for the English-speaking audience. Even though I also like Pickthal and Yusuf Ali's translation but because they use Old English words, their translation creates a barrier between the text and the reader. In the Introduction, the author also provides a very brief history of Islam, how the Quran was revealed to the Seal of the Prophets, style or language of the Quran, and select bibliography for further reading and understanding of the Quran. This makes it a perfect gift for anyone who knows little about Islam and wants to learn about it through its most authoritative book - the Quran. I do not like personal commentary on the Quran and mixing Hadiths with the Quranic text. That is why I try to avoid those translations that have half-page long footnotes, thus adding their own words to the Divine Text. Though this translation also provides footnotes, the main difference between this translator's approach and others (when it comes to footnotes) is that these footnotes only reference other similar verses from the Quran itself without mingling Hadiths and other opinions. As with all other translations, this one does not completely substitute the original Arabic revealed 14 centuries ago. So it is important that anyone who seriously wants to study the Quran should learn the Arabic of the Quran. Therefore, I also recommend Quranic dictionaries. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Qur'an: English translation and Parallel Arabic text - The Qur'an (Oxford World's Classics) - The Clear Quran® Series by Dr. Mustafa Khattab --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/2519039-the-quran-english-translation-and-parallel-arabic-text](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/2519039-the-quran-english-translation-and-parallel-arabic-text) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
