Muslims believe that the Qur'an represents the words of God as
revealed by the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad over a period of
approximately twenty-three years, beginning in 610 AD, when he was
forty, and concluding in 632 AD, the year of his death. All of it
came from the mouth of one man. More people read the Quran than any
other book ever written.This new edition of the book has been
published to help Muslims not fluent in Arabic to understand the
meaning of the words. It includes an English translation by
Abdullah Yusuf Ali and a transliteration into Roman text by Abdul
Haleem Eliyasee.However, it is important to remember at all times
that the authoritative text is the Quran itself. These translations
and transliterations are only intended to be helpful guides. They
are not substitutes for the original.Every Muslim is required to
read and understand the Quran to the extent of his ability. The
words "To The Extent of his ability" is key. Obviously, a man who
cannot speak Arabic and who is poorly educated will not be able to
achieve the same level of understanding that a highly literate and
educated native speaker of Arabic can. Nevertheless, even the
poorly educated man must try to read and understand the actual
words of the Quran. There is no Pope or supreme authority in Islam.
Every man is his own authority. This is what Muslims believe.
Three Translations of the Koran (Al-Qu'ran) side-by-side with each
verse not split across pages. This book compiles three English
translations of the Koran, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Marmaduke
Pickthall and Mohammad Habib Shaki, in three columns, aligned so it
is possible to read across and compare translations for each verse.
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.

The Rohingya Crisis is now in its fifth year with no end in sight.
While the international community has supported the displaced
Rohingyas in Bangladesh by providing humanitarian assistance, what
is needed now is to investigate the short-and long-term
implications of the crisis from the host country's perspective.
Also, it is imperative to examine the current political situation,
which was caused by the Myanmar military coup in February 2021. It
has cast a dark shadow on the possibility of a negotiated
repatriation. In this volume, scholars from Bangladesh and Canada
have reflected upon the security situation, the pandemic's impact
on the Rohingyas, inter-group conflict, environmental impact and
burden sharing aspects, the informal labor situation, NGO
intervention for resilience mapping, and diaspora activities. For
both academics and policymakers who work in the fields of conflict
resolution and peacebuilding, this book will show how not
intervening early in a crisis can have long-term consequences.
This book continues the ongoing debate about the need for
alternative, interdisciplinary and heterodox approaches to teaching
economics at university. It deals with challenges currently
faced by economists, pursues an interdisciplinary approach to
enhance collaboration with academics from disciplines other than
economics, and analyses several questions and issues related to the
2007-08 financial crisis and the current Covid-19 emergency.
 The Covid pandemic has shown the flaws of the current
neoliberal model and the inability of mainstream economic theory to
address the problems created by the pandemic. The book engages with
an academic audience interested in incorporating a wider range of
economic approaches in their research and teaching, and with
undergraduate and postgraduate economics students who are trying to
understand the limitations of their current economics syllabi. The
novelty of the book is the active involvement of undergraduate and
postgraduate students who contribute to this volume with three
chapters. The book will be of interest to a wide range of
researchers, students and teachers interested in interdisciplinary
and heterodox economics.
This is the compact and revised edition of Abdullah Yusuf Ali's
translation of the Holy Qur'an in modern English. It contains
complete translation of the Qur'anic text, retains essential notes
of Abdullah Yusuf Ali's exhaustive commentary on the Qur'an, which
enables the reader to gain a better understanding of the meaning
and message of the Qur'an.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali al-Biruni, 1907 History; Asia; India & South
Asia; History / Asia / India & South Asia; India
The people of Irian Jaya have struggled for decades against the
Indonesian authority, with the aim of obtaining independence. The
resistance movement, the Organisasi Papua Merdeka (OPM), emerged
soon after the controversial United Nations sponsored 'Act of Free
Choice' held in 1969. Despite the decades long resistance the
Papuan freedom movement failed to achieve any significant success.
This failure can be starkly contrasted with the success of East
Timor who got away from Indonesia through the 'Popular
Consultation' in 1999 with a successful resistance movement through
FRETILIN (Armed Forces of National Liberation of East Timor). This
book will attempt an analysis of the two freedom movements of East
Timor and Irian Jaya and tries to make a comparative study of the
two issues. It will also examine the contrasting role of the United
Nations in terms of making peace in these two territories of the
Indonesian archipelago through the acts of self-determination. It
will also explore the inevitable question as to what lessons in the
East Timor experience may be of value to the Indonesian Government
in terms of how they might best tackle the Irian Jaya situation.
