Quran in English Language

Welcome to 3 comparative Quranic translations in English language by three different translators to give you a better and more understandable view of Quran for those whose native language is not Arabic. Note that any translation of the Qur'an immediately ceases to be the literal word of Allah, and hence cannot be equated with the Qur'an in its original Arabic form. In fact, each of the translations on this site is actually an interpretation which has been translated.
