Some years ago, I remember wondering why there were so many English translations of the Quran. I wondered why the translators would not work to improve the existing translations. It is amazing to me that many years later I am doing exactly that. The HibiscusT955559 Project aims to create an improved translation of the Quran with a focus on accuracy. I started from an existing translation of the Quran then compared the translation with other existing translations in order to see where the translators diverge and converge, I am consulting a word-by-word translation in other to eliminate as much paraphrasing as possible, then I am consulting an Arabic-English lexicon to determine the true and root meanings of the words. I am trying to be as thorough as possible. I do not want to be punished for adding or removing something from the Quran. What I like about this project is that as I work on it, my knowledge of the Quran is increasing, if God wills. I am currently working on the first level

1:1 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. 1:2 Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds, 1:3 The Merciful, the Compassionate, 1:4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 1:5 You we worship, and You we ask for help. 1:6 Guide us the straight way. 1:7 The way of those whom you have favoured; not those on whom is anger nor those who err. Click on this text to listen to the audio Notes: In verse 5, "Worship" can also be replaced with "Serve". In Verse 6, there is no preposition after the statement "Guide us" in the Arabic. Where you see a preposition such as "to" or "in", the translator has added it. In verse 7, it is difficult to accurately translate the first statement without excluding or adding words. Here, "Upon them" has been excluded from the translation.  Get The Wise Quran at JustReadTheQuran.com

A book whose signs are confirmed then detailed, from one wise, aware: That you not worship except God, - indeed, I am to you from Him a warner and a herald of glad tidings; And that you seek forgiveness of your Lord, then turn to Him. He will cause you to enjoy a good provision to an appointed term, and will give His grace to every one endowed with grace; but if you turn away, then indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a great day. To God is your return, and He is powerful over everything. Lo! Indeed they fold up their breasts, that they may hide from Him. Lo! When they cover themselves with their garments, He knows what they conceal and what they display. Indeed, He knows what the breasts own. And there is no beast in the earth but upon God is its provision. And He knows its settlement and its resting-place; all is in a clear Book. And He it is who cre

Is it a wonder to mankind that We inspired to a man from them that, 'Warn mankind and give glad tidings to those who believe that they have a true footing with their Lord'? The disbelievers say, 'Indeed, this is surely an obvious magician.' Indeed, your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days; then He made for the throne, to govern the affair; there is no intercessor, except after His permission. That is God, your Lord, so worship Him. Will you not then mind? To Him is your return all together - God's promise is true; indeed, He begins the creation then He repeats it, that He may recompense those who believe and do righteous deeds with justice; but those who disbelieve, for them is a drink of boiling water, and grievous  punishment, for that they disbelieved. He it is who made

So go about in the land for four months, and know that you cannot make God helpless, and that God disgraces the disbelievers. And a proclamation from God and His messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage, that God and His messenger are free of the idolaters. So if you repent, then it is better for you; but if you turn away, then know that you cannot make God helpless. And give those who disbelieve glad tidings of grievous punishment. - Except those of the idolaters with whom you have a covenant, then they have not failed you in anything, and have not backed up anyone against you. So fulfil to them their covenant to their term. Indeed, God loves those who fear. Then when the sacred months have passed, then kill the idolaters wherever you find them; and take them, and besiege them, and sit in wait for them in

So fear God and act righteously among yourselves and obey God and His messenger if you are believers. The believers are only those who when God is mentioned, their hearts become afraid, and when His signs are recited to them, they increase them in faith; and on their Lord they rely; Those who are steadfast in prayer, and of what We have provided them they spend. Those - they in truth are the believers; for them are degrees with their Lord, and forgiveness, and a generous provision. As your Lord brought you out from your house with the truth, and indeed a party of the believers were surely averse. They wrangle with you about the truth after what was made clear, as though they were being driven to death while they were looking on. And when God promised you that one of the two parties s

Glory be to Him and exalted is He above what they associate. He sends down the angels with the spirit of His command upon whom He will of His servants, 'Warn that there is no god but I, so fear Me.' He created the heavens and the earth in truth exalted is He above what they associate. He created man from a sperm-drop; then behold, he is a clear opponent. And the cattle He created them for you; in them is warmth and benefits, and from them you eat. And there is beauty in them for you, when you bring them in and when you take them out. And they carry your heavy burdens to a land which you could not reach except with distress of the souls. Indeed, your Lord surely is kind, compassionate. And horses and mules and asses for you to ride them and as an adornment. And He creates what you do not know. And upon God i
