The clear Quran Series, translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, is one of the most eloquent attempts to masterfully and accurately capture the elegance and vigor of the Quran in the modern English language. Its clarity for an average reader is evident in the choice of easy to understand words and phrases that reflect the beauty, flow and power of the original text. Along with just enough footnotes to clarify complex and contextual meanings, and brief Surah (chapter) introductions, this copy groups verses and titles them based on the theme of those verses (hence the word Thematic in the title), to provide internal coherence to readers - Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Thanks to the dedicated team of scholars, editors, and proof readers lead by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, we believe that The clear Quran Series is the finest translation of the Final Revelation in the English language available today. Thousands of hours have been put into this work over the last few years to guarantee accuracy, clarity, eloquence, and flow. To achieve accuracy, the translator has made use of 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 surah (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. This translation has been officially approved by Al-Azhar (the most prestigious school of Islamic knowledge in the world) and endorsed by ISNA and the Canadian Council of Imams.
