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.
The timeless insight of Islam's sacred writings can enrich your own
spiritual journey. For many in the West, the teachings of the
Qur’an often are enshrouded in mystery and fear. Yet Islam’s
holy book gave birth to one of the most powerful and enlightened
civilizations the world has ever seen. By the sixteenth century,
Muslim culture stretched from India to Africa to Europe, preserving
with it the ancient learning that helped spawn the Renaissance.
With its interwoven ideas of faith and reason, justice and mercy,
the path of Islam—which literally means "surrendering to God’s
will"—offers a uniquely focused and balanced approach to living
life with a profound awareness of God. With gentleness and insight,
Sohaib N. Sultan leads you through the central themes of both the
Qur’an and the collected sayings of Prophet Muhammad, known as
hadith. These teachings dispel common misconceptions about Muslim
beliefs and offer practical guidance for your own spiritual
journey, from understanding the merciful nature of God; to
cultivating peace and justice in the self, family, and society; to
answering questions about the afterlife and how to attain it. Now
you can experience the wisdom of Qur’anic teachings even if you
have no previous knowledge of Islam or Muslim writings. Insightful
yet unobtrusive facing-page commentary explains the texts for you,
allowing you to enter into the path of surrender to God.

The Qur'an is the Final Revelation from God to mankind through the
last Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon Him. The Qur'an has a wealth
of information--both worldly wisdom and intellectual
concepts--providing a code of life for humankind generally and
Muslims in particular. Indeed, the Qur'an's miracle lies in its
ability to offer something to non-believers and everything to
believers. This book contains 3 of the finest translations of the
Quran. So this book contains both old and modern new translations
making it easier to understand for readers. The original Quran is
accurate in the Arabic language & it's 1 only. But in English
there are couple of translations of the same 1 Arabic Quran. This
book is about the true message of the Quran. If anyone wants to
know what the holy Quran actually teaches this book will be the
best guidance. But in order to know what it explains one must read
several translations of the Quran .But in order to properly
understand the Quran people must read this book which explains so
many information's & it made the Quran easy to understand for
both a non-Muslim and a Muslim . Even though to properly understand
the Quran 1 must read several translations but still this 1 book is
a great source of information and guidance for any 1 who has or
hasn't read the Quran. This is an honest book of knowledge with
three translations of the Quran with commentaries and explanations.
Whether people like or hate Islam people should read this book of
knowledge to at least properly understand the real Quran and Islam
and the reason why 1.5 billion people of our world follow this
unique religion and claim its holy book the Quran to be God's last
& final revelation.
