The Holy Qur'an in 638 pages of beautiful, large-print Arabic script by Othman Taha. From the title page to the list of Sรปras the divine words are surrounded by symbols in the margins and printed within tinted text boxes that feature intricate borders. Each appearance of the name of God is distinguished by red font. This handsome hardcover edition is a remarkable addition to any Arabic-speaking Muslim's personal library, and makes a fine item for collectors or scholars of religious texts or foreign languages. The book comes with a spine-bound bookmarked with Mushaf Masjid Alaqsa. Review: Clear and legible script with fast and secure shipping! - I recently purchased this edition of the Holy Quran, and it has exceeded all my expectations. Whether you are buying this for personal study, daily recitation, or as a gift, the quality is exceptional. Review: The only 12er Shia Muslim translation I know of for Kindle. - As former Christian who converted/reverted (either term works) to Islam in 1999, I find M. H. Shakir's older translation of the Quran to be the only 12er Shia Muslim translation available for kindle. Until I purchased this kindle book, I used the 3-Translation Quran sold by Mobile Reference. The three translations are by Muhammed Yusuf Ali (the best of the older Sunni Muslim translations), Muhammad Maramaduke Pickthal's translation (the first translation of the Quran I ever read, also an older Sunni Muslim translation), and this translation by M. H. Shakir. The Mobile Reference edition allows the reader to choose on of the three translations, or all three. A major problem with the Mobile Reference edition is that sometimes part of the ayah (verse) from one of the other translations would appear in the verse in Shakir's translation. That defect was a distraction. Perhaps it has been fixed since then. I also own Dr. Muhammed Muhsin Khan's "Saudi" translation, which is used by some Salafis and Wahabis (so that I can demonstrate just how different those sects translate the Quran as compared to 12er Shia Muslim translators), Dr. Rashid Khalifa's "Final Testament" translation used by some of the modern "Quran Alone" sects, and Ahmed Hulusi's translation which is used by some less traditional Sufi Muslims. Thus, I have 6 translations of the Quran for Kindle. As a former Evangelical/Penetecostal Holiness Christian, I'm used having several "Study Bibles" translated by Roman Catholics, Easrern Orthodox, Lutheran, Pentecostal/Charismatic, and Reformed Evangelical Christians. Those will have concordances (indexes to verses), introductions to various books of the Bible, articles on doctrine and morals, footnotes, and other helps. Unfortunately, nothing like that exists yet for a 12er Shia Muslim translation of the Quran. I would very much like to see the S. V, Mir Ahmed Ali translation with exhaustive footnotes and a pretty good index be converted into a Kindle Book. The same company that publishes Shakir's translation (though this translation is probably in the public domain by now) publishes S V Mir Ahmed Ali's translation as a physical book. Having written the above, I still thank God that Shakir's translation is available for Kindle. There are a few typos, but picture's of the Arabic original script are included, which is a big plus for those of us who wish to recite Arabic and learn the language for understanding. If one is familiar with Shakr's translation, on can do a word search to create a topical study. I do recommend this Kindle Book for 12er Shia Muslims, other Muslims, and non-Muslims who may wish to own a translation of the Quran.

Nice and simple
I've been looking for a Kindle Quran with arabic texts that is nice and comfortable to read, and I'm very happy with this edition. The arabic texts are actually images, but they are big enough to see. You can click to enlarge it to fullscreen. The font style is simple, easy to read, and neat as well. Translation by Shakir is also easy to understand. Unlike other books such as Quran Made Easy: Complete English Translation with Inline Commentary or The Qur'an (Oxford World's Classics) , this edition does not contain any insights on, for example, history of Muhammad and revelation, how Quran was compiled, the styles of the Quran, the history and tradition of tafseer, etc.---this is just a plain Quran in arabic text with translation. But I definitely recommend it if you want a nice Quran to carry with and read everywhere. Hope to see other editions with other translations such as Pickthall and Yusuf Ali, with more knowledge as the other two books I mentioned.

At last a properly readable arabic - enqlish translation
I just felt that I had to write a review but some background would be useful first. When I was first considering acquiring a kindle I was at the same time thinking of purchasing a pocket electronic quran principally for reading (not any mp3 playback ability). So I thought why don't I just get a kindle. The problem was back then was that the arabic - english translation parallel texts offered an arabic view that was not really practically readable. The Abdul Haleem translation was very good but the Arabic script was not really readable as presented without a magnifying glass. So for a long time I persevered with a seperate PDF file for the Quran which I was lucky to find (formatted to A5 - the best paper size for the Kindle in my experience) and then after reading opening up my Abdul Haleem translation. However this deprived me of the side by side view of the English with Arabic. In the past the three main English translations that would often appear electronically, out there on the web, were Pickthal, Ali and Shakir. The last being one that I generally never referred to. However with this Kindle offering a side by side , Arabic - English view I thought why not try it if it gives a good readable Arabic view. Not disappointed on the Arabic frint, at last a fully readable Arabic - English translation of the Quran , with the Arabic with full tashkeel and the usual various markers for Juz, Sajdah , etc. Also a linked table of contents - Quranic translations for the Kindle without a TOC area frustration beyond belief. I was hesitant of any potential partisan bias in this translation as I was aware that this is the translation promoted by Tahirke Tarsile Qur'an but so far I have not come across anything strongly objectionable. In short this kindle offering gives me what I was looking for from the very beginning, a readable side by side translation. For that reason a resounding 5 stars !
