There are several editions of the Koran in Hebrew, but none current.
However, the Ahmadiyya did publish a Hebrew-Arabic Koran in London in 1988.

Yes, there is one translated by Prof. Riblin who taught Arabic at the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem. I think he translated it in the 1940s
or 1950s. May be it is reprinted. Sadok

If you mean a translation of the Qur'an into Hebrew, Dvir used to
publish one.  (If you want to do your own net searches, try "Devir"
also.)  The next question is where to find Dvir.  It used to be in Tel
Aviv, probably on Rehov Nachmani.  However, I found no such thing
in a quick net search.  There seems to be one in Lod, and it may
be that it moved.

As to the translation, it's been 20 years or so since I saw it, and
remember nothing about it.  It was probably a very routine
translation into modern Hebrew.

I seem to remember that I saw a new copy of that edition for sale
rather recently, maybe even in the town where I live, so it seems
still to be in print.  Remind me by private email every few days, and
I'll either track down details of the book or of Dvir.

Good luck.
David.
