Reddit reviews The Qur'an with Annotated Interpretation in Modern English

Er zijn versies van de Koran in modern Engels met commentaar en achtergrond die wel interessant zijn. Ik heb zelf deze: https://www.amazon.com/Quran-Annotated-Interpretation-Modern-English/dp/1597841447

Dat zou ik aanraden ipv gewoon een vertaling te kopen

I assume you want English language material.

The most popular translation I see these days is by Abdel Haleem and published by Oxford University Press: http://www.amazon.com/Quran-Oxford-Worlds-Classics/dp/0199535957

It has some minimal footnotes. It's quite good (I use it myself).

I'd recommend you to get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quran.labs.androidquran

Then after installing you can go to settings -> translation and get Haleem's translation. However I think the footnotes might be missing.

Also take a look at this: http://www.amazon.com/Quran-Annotated-Interpretation-Modern-English/dp/1597841447

I have not read it in it's entirety (yet), but I have read portions and so far it has been quite good. It seem to have been well received and has been recommended to me by a few people I know.

Your best choice will be The Quran with Annotated Interpretation in Modern English by Ali Unal.

Today's Ayat for Friday, 2016-11-11 / 11 Safar 1438

"Be modest in your bearing, and subdue your voice. For certain the most repugnant of voices is braying of donkeys."

-- Luqman 31:19 as rendered by Ali Ünal

وَاقْصِدْ فِي مَشْيِكَ وَاغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ الْأَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِيرِ

I know there's an edition in modern English translated by Ali Unal on Amazon, but I haven't had the opportunity to read it yet. Maybe someone else has...
