This site is providing a good search engine for the Holy Quran. You will get faster results in a neat and tidy formatting. The good thing is that you will get the english version along the results (By pressing on the Red E icon) http://www.holyquran.net/images/newimages/e.gif.

The site provides many other useful facilities related to Quran, it will be very handy when trying to quote the Quran in your reply in a post or something like that... a good site to book mark thought! (Recommended)

Sadly for me, it looks like you have to start out in Arabic...

I don't see that icon when I open the link...

This is the site I use

http://www.submission.org/home.html

Yes, I use that one too sometimes. It has the advantage of having a lot of good commentary with the text. But the disadavatage to submission.org is that it is a site run by "Quran Only" Muslims. These guys reject all ahadith: they believe only in the Quran and themselves for interpretation! Kind of like "Protestant Muslims". :p So my guess is that that might affect what kind of translation or commentary they have.

Here is a great site for English speakers because it has a great number of parallel translations and also a transliteration of the Arabic:

And here is an interesting one in that it presents a translation by "progressive Muslims" who want to read the Quran afresh:

Here's a good one for searching in English, but you are searching only the Shakir translation:

The problem with searching in English is, you are following the path set out by the translator, not the original words! But here is another one where you can search in English or Arabic, by word or by the root of the word:

thanx alot guys! I'll include these websites in the thread "translate your verses"

http://www.quraan.com/Index.aspx?tabindex=2&tabid=24

I use the above for Hadiths

PS Jeff - I'm not sure that the Koran has any verses that relate to the hadiths - I (therefore) imagine that the translation is fairly straightforward?

But I'm not an expert

PS pinnochio,

-In Quran the text and the meaning From Allah (GOD) too.

-In Hadeeth the meaning from Allah (GOD) and the words are from Prophet Mohammed PBUH.

Both Quran and Hadeeth are from Allah, it is the prophet who speaks but the information from Allah. Quran is explained in Hadeeth so separating both is totally wrong because the source is the same. It isn't the case of two different sourcesa, just the total opposite.

For example in Quran God tells us to pray, and he didn't say "How" but the "How" from the Hadeeth of the Prophet Mohammed when he says "Pray like you saw me praying". How could people oby the orders of God without knowing hot to do them?

Hadeeth the main soruce of our understanding for the Quran, sense Prophet Mohammed himself is the one who explained Quran to his followers. So whatever the Prophet said is an explaination required to understand Islam and Quran.

Did you get what I mean?

I can't give a better answer than that: that's the traditional Sunni answer.
