Abstract
The English language translations of the Quran can definitely be envisioned from a different angle - as a text having literary value apart from its religious value. This paper discusses this aspect of the English translated versions of the Quran, how one can come to exploit its literary value and how one can possibly accommodate it into the academic curriculum, especially as a literary text in the Literature classroom.
