The Holy Quran has been translated in many
languages including English. Two major translations in English are by
Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Pickthal. Texts of these two
translations are available on-line at Islam101. We recommend that you
study Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation with commentary first. However,
there are other noteworthy translations, including the Noble Quran and a
translation from Urdu Tafser of Abul Ala Maududi.
It should however be noted that while you can pick up the main
concepts of Islam easily from these translations of the Quran, you may
need to refer to the Tafseer books for a better understanding.
The original revealed text is in Arabic and is the same as it were
and as it will be, insha'Allah (God willing).
