:salam2: Dear Sister,
It is so nice to see posts from reverts to Islam. A soul is saved from hell fire and is on its way to go to the Paradise. What can be a more better news than this.
Welcome my sister to the true religion of Islam. Hopefully we all will meet one another in the TTI get togather party in Jannah, InshaAllah !
If this help you in any way in understanding Quran then let me say this:
Quran is not like other books where one chapters discusses one matter and the next chapter discusses another matter in sequence. Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in verses, these verses were assembled togather in a way that later verses were inserted according to the instructions of Allah. They were then divided into chapters according to Allah's instructions. So one chapter may discuss several subjects, therefore it helps if someone explains them and provide some background information about those chapters and verses.
In the following website you can find a good translation as well as explanation of Quranic verses:
http://www.tafheem.net/main.html
On the left there is an Index of chapters and on the right there are contents.
If you want to know the background of a chapter then click "Intro" (which is at the top) and read. Some chapters are long so they are divided into pieces e.g. verse [22-41] etc. It is easy.
Hope this will be of some help.
