## Description

desertcart.com: The Sublime Quran: 9781567447507: Laleh Bakhtiar: Books

Review: Book is super floppy and unstructured, Amazing translation - Amazing translation, mashallah! This is a very loving and accepting translation of the Quran, which is what people should think like. Be the most accepting of others and their lives and strict and disciplined over your own! Cover and text block are super floppy, so I would recommend combining with a personal leather cover or keeping this Quran at home. Paper is very thin, just like standard Bible pages, so light annotations are okay, but highlighters or markers will likely bleed.
Review: A very valuable translation, the first done by an American Muslim woman. - This is a heavy, substantial paperback with a gorgeous cover. More importantly, it's the first translation of the Quran done by an American Muslim woman. Context always matters, and this is a great alternative to the sometimes harsh translations written and edited by men. One example to illustrate the difference: Qurans translated by men often translate a certain verse to sanction men beating their wives, despite the fact that everything else in the greater body of Islamic teachings seems to strongly discourage anyone lifting a hand against anyone. Ever. Laleh Bakhtiar, however, uses her knowledge of classical Arabic and translates that word in that particular verse as "explain," which has the effect of making the meaning of hte verse that if a wife disagrees with her husband's position, the husband should "explain" his position to her, which makes a hell of a lot more sense than that he should "beat" her. And yet, somehow, this is controversial. Despite the fact that the word can be translated just as validly as "explain," and to say nothing of how that fits in far better with the greater message of Islam than "Hey, yeah, go ahead and beat your wives if they disagree with you, that's cool." Um, no. I'd recommend this as a solid addition to any collection of religious books. It sits on my shelf next to my copy of the Old Testament and my Muhammad Asad translation/tafsir of the Quran.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book is super floppy and unstructured, Amazing translation
*by N***R on October 29, 2025*

Amazing translation, mashallah! This is a very loving and accepting translation of the Quran, which is what people should think like. Be the most accepting of others and their lives and strict and disciplined over your own!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to read
*by A***S on October 22, 2011*

It took me time to find this but when I did I was lucky since it is a good translation for someone whose native language is English and compares in its content to other translations as well as the tone overall it's complicated to find a translation that is the best one for me but I have compared to other translations and really felt like this one would be the best version for me to have laying around anyway so it would be as fair as I could have a translation be if a neighbor happened to pick it up or someone then I wouldn't have to worry about it so going to go for rating this one 4 or 5 I can stay confident here in case it is read by someone other than myself.
