Bismillah
As Salam alaikum
I actually get asked which translation I prefer by arabic speaking brothers. It is funny to me. I guess it comes down to preference because the only one that is really the best is the arabic one. I hear the Yusuf Ali version is the most liked. I have it and one by Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan which is put out by Saudi Arabia. I currently read both. I find that using more than one translation leads to having a deeper understanding of what is actually being said in arabic.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
