 * H.....u.....g....e controversies? according to who? Some "Youtube scholars"? All I see is some (non-academic) WP:RS reporting that Salafists/Wahabbists/Saudis are in a way "pissed off" at its publication. Criticism on the other hand is an essential characteristic of scholarly tradition. No human work lies (or should lie) beyond the grasp of criticism. And most of the reviewing scholars I see are in agreement that this book is a "monumental contribution" to Quranic studies despite some of their legitimate criticisms targeted at few interpretations of the book where it departs, of course upon rigorous consideration of millennial exegetical tradition, from modern day theological consensus. Here are some of the scholarly reviews:

 * In addition, Criticism section in general "should be avoided in an article because these sections call undue attention to negative viewpoints." On the other hand, presenting both the positive and negative viewpoints from reliable scholarly sources, I repeat, scholarly sources fairly, proportionately, and without bias within the article (that would be most preferable) or within the existing Reception section would be the best thing to do. The book reviews included in this comment can be a guide for anyone willing to do that job. Thanks. Mosesheron (talk) 11:11, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Should not be listed a Shi'a Translation in My Opinion
None of the editors besides Nasr are Shia and it builds on mainly Sunni sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.177.250 (talk) 04:28, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Good point. I am going to change it. Thanks. Mosesheron (talk) 07:04, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
