Quote:
{12:3} We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Quran although you were, before it, among the unaware.

I don't see an "although" in the Arabic. I suggest,
{12:3} We narrate to you [, O Muhammad,] the most beautiful of stories in what We have revealed to you this Quran. And you certainly were before it among the unaware.

Maybe not although but the Arabic expression does suggest a 'contrast'. Perhaps we can use "even as you were" or something.
