Looking for one in modern english with footnotes. In other words, a study Koran.
Can anyone suggest an English interpretation of the Qur'an?

There is no finer edition in English than this:

I brought a really nice copy of the Qur'an (Koran) from a shop in Southall, London a few years back. It was in Arabic with English text
But I will tell you who do a nice translation...'Penguin Books' Ok it may be from a more mainstream source but it is very good English translation. It is part of their 'Classics' section if I remember. You can buy it in most book shops, and if they do not have a copy...order one...you will have it in a few days.

If anyone cares, I picked up Maulana Muhammad Ali's translation with commentary. He is part of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement within Islam. Some do not view this movement as true Islam due to disputes over the sealing of the Prophets. Whatever, it's literature to me and this translation is a scholarly work given favorable reviews by the heavyweights in Koran translation such as Pickthal.
