Good summary of surah's available anywhere?
-
Anyone know any websites of good books that show a good and simple summary of each verse in the quran?
I.e a long surah from the quran explained in a paragraphs?
I have a quran that does this, it's in arabic but has the translation on the side. The bottom of the page the
traslator tries to summarise the surah by using personal opinion. No thanks! nopePeace.

The thing is that the Quran is not a fiction book which you can summarize in a straight-forward way. There are several mixed things/commands in each chapter (take 2 or 17, for example). Maybe for the small chapters it would make sense.
I am not aware of any chapter summaries - only actual translations with annotations or tafsir/interpretation websites (usually traditionalist/hadithist though).

A translation (any translation) IS a personal opinion.

peace,
Whilst not a short easy to read summary, it is actually quite a tough read, but you may wish to struggle through the book 'coherence in the quran' by mustansir mir. It is quite cheap to buy. It is written like an academic thesis, hence the tough read, but it is safe to say it significantly shaped my thinking of chapter structure and linking themes throughout them. It has been discussed a little on the forum, by myself and member mquran
http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=10431.0It does not cover all chapters.
