Thought I'd give that to those who are interested in learning about Islam. I already have a Quran, but I ordered another from CAIR, and after finally getting it (took forever), I am pleased (it's FREE!). The book is huge. It has English, Arabic script, and Arabic romanization, as well as tons of explanations and introductions to surahs.

Thanks for pointing it out. I went ahead and signed up for one too, even though i have a copy as well.

thanks! i signed up and they said they have had a tremendous amount of orders, so it might be a while. i have one too, but it's more for the literary aspect (it's very beautifully written), and the books are not in the traditional order. the translator, for some reason, put them in order from shortest to longest, or something odd like that.

i read about the reason why it is arranged like that but i forgot. i'll see if i can find it again. i think it has to do with the reason about not knowing the chronological order or something of that nature.
