About this listen

The Holy Qur'an was revealed in Arabic over 1400 years ago for the whole of humanity to the last prophet in Islam, Muhammad (peace be upon him). Written down and recorded as it was revealed, The Holy Qur'an remains unchanged, even to this day. The Holy Qur'an is considered the greatest miracle given to the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

This is a Modern English reading of the interpretations and meanings of the Holy Qur'an, based on interpretations of the meaning by Dr Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Dr Muhammad Muhsin Khan.

To understand the complete meaning and spiritual messages, we recommend that listeners learn Arabic and read in the language of the Holy Qur'an. The Holy Qur'an is best learned with teachers and study circles.

This production in the English language is only an interpretation of the Arabic.

Made reading 8 Chapters of the Qu'ran comparable to watching Netflix lol

Easy on the ears...voice was animated enough to bring the stories to life. Worth every cent or credit!

Eye Opening

All people should read or listen to the text of the soon to be largest religion in the world. They can gain a lot of perspective about the fundamentals of Islam. Without this understanding, having discussions about religion, politics, and society are very limited. Especially people that are not indoctrinated into the religion, like myself, will benefit by having this experiential knowledge, even if you may find it troubling or uncomfortable.

Beautiful

It’s just beautiful. Gives you much more of an understanding if you were chasing the knowledge & wisdom of the religion

You know you need to read it.

The book is tough. The reading is great. I read it because I academically needed to, and this presenter did as well as you could expect. Three volumes though, so it isn't just 5 hrs.

Praised be ALLAH The Mighty.

As a speaker of the truth, I welcome the words and teaching of the Holy Quran. Thank You ALLAH, for these teachings and Your love.

Difficult to navigate

The narrator has a great voice. The story is told well. The navigation is negligible. You cannot bookmark, or actually see where you are, or left off. The book reset once to the beginning, and I had to find my place by scrolling in 30 sec increments. There is no way to read particular Sura.

Good but not acurate!

If you could sum up The Holy Qur'an in three words, what would they be?

It's well written and performed but it's not a good translation. It's okay for getting a general sense of the Qur'an but there are important points (attitudes towards violence, other religions, etc.) which are confusing in this translation. And some less sensational issues that are more clearly wrong.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Allah.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It does capture some of the beauty of the Qur'an.

Any additional comments?

Not a bad starting place for an English overview. Combined with _Muhammad_ by Martin Lings but don't take it as truly representing Islamic beliefs.

Great reading of the Holy Qur'an

Would you listen to The Holy Qur'an again? Why?

I plan on listening again, at the latest next month of Ramadan, but likely before that on my commutes to work.

The Holy Qur’an - in English

This is a holy book. It is the first time for me to listen and read those holy words. I got this version pacifically so I could understand it. The book will take time to understand. There is deep words and thoughts within.
