## What is The Clear Quran?

Alhamdulillah, since September 2016 Al-Furqaan Foundation through its publishing divisions, has published this amazing new translation of the Quran, THE CLEAR QURAN, OFFICIALLY APPROVED BY AL-AZHAR. This translation is one of the most eloquent attempts to masterfully and accurately capture the elegance and vigor of the Quran in the modern English language. Its clarity for an average reader is evident in the choice of easy to understand words and phrases that reflect the beauty, flow and power of the original text. Along with just enough footnotes to clarify complex and contextual meanings, and brief Surah introductions, THE CLEAR QURAN groups verses and titles them based on the theme of those verses (hence the word Thematic in the title), to provide internal coherence to readers – Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Thanks to the dedicated team of scholars, editors, and proof readers lead by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, we at Al-Furqaan Foundation believe that the copy of THE CLEAR QURAN is the finest translation of the Final Revelation in the English language available today. This App Alhamdulillah makes this amazing translation available in a digital format to a global audience.

### 1/5 — The Arabic text is not accurate

*2024-03-16*

The Arabic text of Surat al nisa has mistakes. Aya 171, 173 are clear examples

### 5/5 — Easiest way to read English translation

*2024-01-05*

AsSalaam Alaykum, I wanted to leave a review for this app because it helped me read Quran very easily, and very quickly. Alhamdulilah. The free version is okay,  but it wasn’t until I used the free trial to the paid version did I really start to read and understand. The paid version is worth the one time purchase of$7 in zakat by itself, let alone the benefit you will obtain getting closer to Allah (stw) and his book. They break down the surahs in shorter and collective paragraphs that direct you the footnotes instantly. This really helps you read quicker and understand more clearly. Mashallah to the developers of the app may Allah reward them.

### 5/5 — Wish there was a dark mode

*2023-06-06*

My favorite translation, and using the app is very convenient Alhamdulilah, but I would love to see a dark mode feature! Would make reading at night easier on the eyes.

### 4/5 — Thematic view not visible anymore

*2023-05-27*

Assalamualaikum wrwb. 

Thematic translation is not visible anymore, only ayah-by-ayah translation is. In the settings page, paragraph display mode cannot be enabled or disabled. Please fix this. 

JazakAllahu khairan.

### 5/5 — I would recommend to anyone

*2023-01-18, version 1.15*

I have been using this app for a while now and it is a great app very simple and easy to use has a lot of neat features

### 2/5 — Excellent Translation, but Basic App

*2023-01-13, version 1.15*

I wish this translation was available through the Muslim Pro App! I need audio to read and listen to the translation in English. Also please allow swiping left and right to move from page to page.

### 5/5 — Bring Previous Version Back

*2023-01-06, version 1.15*

Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu, I liked the previous version. This new user interface is not it for me is there a way to revert back to the previous one? 
Jazakallah Khair
SAWRWB

### 1/5 — WAS a 5 star app

*2023-01-06, version 1.15*

The app is broken after the update. Please fix !!!!  This is the best app in the world when it’s working.  But after the update you can’t log in

### 5/5 — What happened to the chapter overviews though?

*2022-12-26, version 1.14*

Very easy to study. Some words have different meanings

### 5/5 — Very clear translation and easy to use application as well.

*2022-10-23, version 1.14*

First of all, thank you for this work. Efforts of Mustafa Khattab and the developers of the application is much appreciated. May God reward you for this Good deed.

I see a flaw in saving the verses and kindly asking you to fix it. 

When trying to save a verse (s) as a picture large ayats are not fully saved. This might be due to large fonts that does not fit the screen. For example, Hud 11.6-8. 

Thank you
