PREFACE
The Quran is the word of Allah, the Lord of the

worlds, God the One. The Quran was revealed
miraculously to last prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him) by Allah (God) through angel Jibril
(Gabriel).
Muslims believe all of the prophets from the

first man and prophet Adam to last prophet
Muhammed, including Noah, David, Mose and
Jesus. They are all the messangers of Allah and
they told the message of Allah to people.
It is impossible to involve the whole meaning of

the Quran by any single translation.
This study enables reading and comparing

more than one translations of the Quran in one
single book. One of the translations is a word
by word translation which helps you to see the
translation of each word. By comparing more
than one translations you can better understand
the message of the Quran.
The word for word meanings can be read from

left to right.
Hope this work be beneficial to you, while

studying the meaning of the Quran.
