What’s the best translation of The Quran to read for a non-Muslim? Almost done with The Bible and want to read it after.

Any translation of the Quran is not the Quran. The Quran has existed eternally in Arabic. Learn Arabic anon and you will come to believe the Allah is the one true God and that Muhammed (pbuh) is his prophet.

it really is a hodge bod of crude unrefined script. this is nothing against the religion proper, I honestly respect its scholastic and rigorous aproach in its religious leaglism, but the “Most perfect text” construction wise is something I cannot agree with. Its a hodge podge of byzantine and persian and native persian elements that where not quite expertly put together. though of course I understand that opinion has ramifications when refering to the One and perfect being.

To be fair to the Quran it’s not like it was originally made as a book. It’s more of a recording of Muhammad’s various speeches. That’s why there’s no context for some things and such and such
