The Study Quran is a new translation and commentary which was recently published by a distinguished team of Islamic studies scholars led by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, renowned Islamic philosopher and Professor of Islamic studies at George Washington University.

The main goal of this work is to increase understanding and literacy of the Quran in the English language.

How is it ground breaking and different from other Quranic translations?

Dr. Shabir Ally, President of the Islamic Information Center in Toronto, shares his thoughts on this new translation in this video.
