Interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Qur'an with Arabic text in the modern English language — a summarized version of At-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi and Ibn Kathir with comments from Sahih Al-Bukhari.
This summarized one-volume version offers brief explanations in the footnotes, giving a reader the essential commentary without the weight of a multi-volume set.
Why the One-Volume Version Is the One Most People Should Buy
Because it gets used. The nine-volume edition with full tafsir is the better reference and the harder book to live with — it stays where it is put, and it is consulted rather than read.
A single volume goes to the masjid, sits on a bedside table, and gets opened on an ordinary evening. Over a year that is worth considerably more than a complete set opened occasionally.
Why Large
This is the large hardback. The larger page means bigger Arabic and bigger English, which matters for a bilingual edition where both are competing for the same page — and it is the size to choose for a household copy or for anyone whose eyesight is not what it was.
The Translation
Interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Quran with Arabic text in modern English, by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan and Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali — a summarized version of At-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi and Ibn Kathir, with comments from Sahih Al-Bukhari.
It is unique, remarkable and distinguished for its crystal-clear rendering, and it is the most widely distributed English translation in the world.
