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.
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.
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.
