Please keep in mind ANY translation (interpretation) of the Qur’aan will most definitely contain errors. In its natural language (Arabic), the Qur’aan is the direct Word of Allaah (God) to mankind through the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Any translation of the Qur’aan no longer retains that ‘official’ and perfect status, however it can be tremendously helpful to beginning students wanting to learn more about Islaam. We would strongly encourage those want to learn about Islaam to purchase a hardcopy of the Qur’aan but with the following conditions:

1. Get one with commentary (e.g Tafseer ibn Kathir)
2. Make sure the commentary is scholarly (e.g. references to reasons behind a verse, references to hadith and sunnah (prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)’s teachings
