“A testament to the fact that faith need not suffocate reason. This is bound to be among the smartest of ’smart bombs’ in the battle of ideas within Islam.” - Irshad Manji, Fellow, Yale University and author, The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim’s Call for Reform in Her FaithÂ

“A bold and beautiful translation that serves as a timely reminder to all believers that the Qur’an is not a static scripture, but a living, breathing, ever-evolving text whose sacred words are as applicable today as when they were first uttered by the Prophet Muhammad fourteen centuries ago.” - Reza Aslan, Author, No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam.Â

“With its lucid language, brilliant theological and philosophic arguments, Edip Yuksel removes the smoke of distortions and ignorance generated by clergymen that have concealed the light of the Quran from masses. Providing numerous scientific evidences supporting the authenticity of the divine nature of the Quran, the Reformist Translation is destined to create a Copernican Revolution in the realm of religions. I highly recommend it to Agnostics, Skeptics, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, or anyone who seeks truth about God without suppressing or compromising their brains.” - Caner Taslaman, PhDs in Theology and Political Science; author; www.mucizeler.com.  Â

“I completely agree with you in your rejection of the right of any group to arrogate to themselves the sole interpretation of the Quran. The Quran, being a book containing divine knowledge and wisdom, can only be understood progressively. It has to be interpreted anew by every generation and through a scientific methodology…. Your effort is praiseworthy. Well done. Keep it up.” - Kassim Ahmad, former president of Malaysian Socialist Party and head of Malaysian Quranic Society who was declared “apostate” by religious authorities for his controversial work on the Prophetic Traditions.    Â

“Allah has gifted humanity with many signs for guidance. The Qur’an not only directs us towards these signs all over creation, but also in itself is a most miraculous sign. We can never know the full meaning of the Qur’an even as we exercise our minds and surrender our hearts to Allah so that we become able to read the signs and grow to know more. A Reformist Translation directs us to this miracle by offering an intense and challenging addition to the practice of sincere reading for knowing. I cannot accept its Qur’an only perspective, even as I support the efforts of these translators to engage, as they have, in reading and growing with knowledge while relaying to others some new possibilities of meaning for the sake of reflection and surrender. I hope many will examine their efforts to gain benefit and challenge.” - Dr. Amina Wadud, Author: Inside the Gender Jihad: Reform in Islam  We will post endorsements and reviews as soon as we receive them.We will post endorsements and reviews as soon as we receive them. Â
