Translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an (also known as
The Koran) is the sacred book of Islam. It is the word of God whose
truth was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel
Gabriel over a period of 23 years. As it was revealed, so it was
committed to memory by his companions, though written copies were
also made by literate believers during the lifetime of the Prophet.
The first full compilation was by Abu Bakar, the first Caliph, and
it was then recompiled in the original dialect by the third Caliph
Uthman, after the best reciters had fallen in battle. Muslims
believe that the truths of The Holy Qur'an are fully and
authentically revealed only in the original classical Arabic.
However, as the influence of Islam grows and spreads to the modern
world, it is recognised that translation is an important element in
introducing and explaining Islam to a wider audience. This
translation, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, is considered to be the most
faithful rendering available in English.
