‘Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful one who taught by the pen, who taught man what he did not know.’
The Quran, which is regarded by Muslims as the Word of God, was revealed to the prophet Muhammad over 1400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teachings. It is a sacred text and a book of guidance, defining the faith, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it remains, however, difficult to understand in its English translations. This new translation is written in contemporary language with fidelity to the original, making it easy to read while maintaining the power of rhetoric. Archaic language and cryptic expressions are avoided, with the Arabic meaning preserved while respecting the context of the discourse.
The message of the Quran directly addresses all people, regardless of class, gender, or age, and this translation is equally accessible to all.
