Title: Another translation attempt by another 'Modern' translator
Review: I've taught Quran and its meanings for years. The students sometimes ask for a translation that gives them a 'word for word' translation for the Arabic text. The advertisement (not on amazon.com), gave the impression that this is it. Unfortunately it fails in doing that at innumerable places.Wherever the translator finds difficulty to explain certain concepts or events of history, he resorts to his 'own' interpretation and exlpanation without supporting his views from the history. For example, in sura 'An-Naml', he finds it difficult to explain the verse/s about ants. These verses, when read to an Arab now (and indeed then), he easily understands what the mean.I do not recommend this translation to anybody.
