Dr. Yasir Qadhi says about his translation:
“His translation of the Qur’an, unfortunately, contains many unorthodox ideas. It is an English translation with a Mu'tazilee perspective. He denies the miracles that the prophets performed (for example, the resurrection of the birds in the story of Ibrahim, (2:260), believes that jinn are not separate creatures, and also has a very liberal approach to Fiqah (for example, the concept Hijab varies with time and place,cf. Surah Noor).
Apart from problems of this nature - they are numerous in number – English is one of the best that this author has seen; very lucid and readable. However,it is not to be recommended because of its misinterpretations.”
