The Study Quran, the culmination of an 8-year collaboration, features a new translation of the Quran and a nearly 2000-page continuous commentary on the text. Drawing upon a wide range of Muslim commentaries on the Quran, including Sunni and Shii commentaries, as well as seminal works in legal, theological, and mystical interpretation, The Study Quran commentary addresses the grammar of difficult passages, legal and ritual teachings, ethics, theology, and sacred history. It also provides extensive cross-referencing of passages within the Quranic text, as well with Biblical passages that address similar themes.

The Study Quran also includes 15 companion essays by prominent scholars, as well as multiple maps and indices.
