2. Use 1-2 simple translation. (Many available online)
3. One commentary by Amin Ahsan Islahi. Commentary will be very bulky. So, read the commentary only where required. I.e where you feel something to know more or you yet to understand.
This helps in connecting with the spirit of Quran.
Good luck!

Yes, it’s for entire mankind. But only those who seek guidance (who doesn’t want to get corrupted from heart & mind) are its primary addressees.
