See English editions

For a particular verse, open its surah in the English reader, navigate to the verse number, then choose the translation edition you want. Direct verse synchronization with the translation library is not assumed in this version.

Compare meanings with care

English Quran translations are interpretations of meanings. Keep the Arabic text and the translator’s name visible when you compare wording. The selected chapter opens in the translation library, where you can choose up to three editions.
