      peace,

      Some translations come with footnotes, such as explanations by the translator, citing hadith to explain a point etc.

      Different translations do this to different degrees. The only one I'm aware of with no footnotes is the ProgressiveMuslims.org translation, see here http//free-minds.org/quran/ or you can buy it from Amazon etc.

      All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

            Peace and Welcome to the forum downie,

            I use the free-minds translation and it has not footnotes at all. I prefer it that way.

              That may well be but that particular translation inserts a lot of extra stuff into the verses.

                Yes, but in brackets, which I disregard.

                  Yea, same with my Yusuf Ali translation, no footnotes, just brackets.
