A Journey through the Holy Qur'an Yahiya Emerick 9781450521536 Books Reviews

• Mr. Emerick takes the time to not only translate the text into modern english but to also provide a historical background information so that the reader has a context in which to understand the revalations.
  
  Too often the Qur'an is taken out of context and used to promote the agenda of the person quoting the information(whether it be pro or con). This book should help provide a truer understanding of the Qur'an and the context of the guidance it provided and continues to provide.
• I love this book and how it explains each ayat and the circumstances that were according during the time of the revelations. I use it as a reference.
• I already own four different translations of the Qur'an and have been making my way through it pretty slowly for some time now. I'm used to reading at a high level, so it's not that the Qur'an is such difficult reading - it's more that the Qur'an's mode of expression is so different from just about everything else we read in the West. The language is more elaborate and one must read very carefully to make certain to catch it all. Prior to purchasing this translation, I had been most helped by Muhammad Asad's fine translation which I received from CAIR, and for which I am extremely grateful.
  Yahiya Emerick's edition is helpful because the language used is very clear and very contemporary, but even more helpful are the many, many notes Yahiya Emerick has included throughout the text to help the reader understand not just the meaning but also the context of what they are reading. This has completely opened up the text to me in ways that it has never been opened before. My studies of the Qur'an are more energized and more fruitful than they have ever been as a result.
  I also appreciate the fact that this translation does not include the Arabic text. Why? Because this means that I can highlight and make notes in this edition and not worry about being disrespectful to the revealed text, like I used to do in my Bible.
  I cannot recommend this translation highly enough to anyone seeking to really understand the text of the Qur'an.
• Absolutely wonderful. The commentary on each of the verses is indispensable. If you want to read and truly understand the Quran, get this copy.
• I love it! So easy to understand. As a new Muslim this is a very helpful translation and it will help non-Muslims understand Islam. Highly recommend it.
• I have read a couple versions of the Quran translated into english but nothing like this book. This book takes you verse by verse explaining what was going on at the time the verse was being revealed. It allows you to go in depth without losing interest. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to read and fully understand the Quran.
• excellent
• Very pleased with the way Mr. Emerick presents the translation and the background on the verse in a plain simple way.
