> Plain English Quran - Is there one?
Bookmark topic
Having been involved and observed a few discussions here on esato which involve Islam and the Qurans teachings I think it would be a good idea if I actually read the book.
However I would like to know if anyone can recommend a true translated version in plain English. You know I don’t want to have to try and read all that “And ye tho shall be casted to death” but rather “he shall be cast to death” (hope you know what I mean).

I have a simplified English transalation Quran at home, but not on the internet. However the Transalation by Yusuf Ali is very simple to read which can be found
HERE.
This transalation looks easier as mentioned by Kramer above.

I agree, alot of "interested" parties read it to ridicule it!

also ask the local mosque in your area for recommendations.

The main reason i would like to read it really is to gain knowledge of others beliefs. I can’t say I will believe in the Quran no more than in the Bible or any holy scripts/books but a least I will have an idea of the Muslim belief.

The book has been revealed for
mankind not just muslims, so anybody can read it and is welcome to. The only book not to have changed since the days of revelation and the book that you will find in any corner of the globe and in many muslims hearts.
You can go to any country in the world and if you ask for the Quran, they will give you the same copy that you will read at home or online.
No change can be made to a book that is Protected by Almighty God and this is a fact that no human can deny.
