What makes this translation unique is that it has been edited by kids, for kids. The author worked closely with a team of students—mostly in grades 2 to 5—to identify difficult words and replace them with simpler ones that carry the same meaning. For the words they couldn’t replace, explanations are provided in the glossary, along with the Arabic terms used throughout the book. With the help of qualified Islamic scholars, public school teachers, and professional editors, they ensured the translation is both accurate and accessible.

Al-Quran Al-Kareem Maqdis is a translation learning method of word-by-word Al-Quran with every word and sentence is colored differently, in Arabic and English. Every word in the Quran was translated literally so that the reader could understand the meaning of every single word. It needs to be remembered that not all literal translation represents the exact meaning of the word since the Quran uses varied Arabic language style and sometimes metaphor. Accordingly, to understand the full or intended meaning of the word or the verse, Muhsin Khan's the Holy Quran Translation had been included in this edition. However, to comprehend more of the meaning of the Quran, reading the commentary of the Quran from trusted scholars would be necessary. Approved by the Department of Islamic Development of Malaysia (JAKIM) and Malaysian Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN).
