The Meaning Of The Holy Qur'an
Ebooks Online

The Qur'an is the inimitable and direct Word of God. It was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over twenty-three years, who faithfully transmitted it to humanity in the seventh century. Since then the text and meaning of the Qur'an has been preserved, word for word, exactly as it was fourteen hundred years ago. It is a Book of Guidance for all mankind with a central message of God's Oneness. Yet, it has several layers of meaning and beauty that are easily lost in translation.This splendid translation, originally prepared in 1934, aimed to help readers understand the meaning of the Qur'an but also to appreciate its beauty and catch something of the grandeur of the Arabic.This is a compact and revised edition of Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation of The Meaning of the Holy Qur'an in modern English. It contains the complete translation of the Qur'anic text and retains essential notes of Yusuf Ali's exhaustive commentary on the Qur'an, which enables the reader to gain a better understanding of its message and helps to reveal some of the inexhaustible depth of knowledge it contains.One of the most widely-used and known translations of the Qur'an into modern English, with 472 notes and an introduction.Abdullah Yusuf Ali (1872–1953) was an Indian Islamic scholar. In 1938, Yusuf Ali's translation of the Qur'an was published in Lahore. His translation of the Qur'an is one of the most widely-known and used in the English-speaking world. He died in 1953 in London, United Kingdom.

I purchased the kindle version of this. Everything looked great until I realized that around 50% of the commentary is missing. This is probably just a problem with how they formatted the book into kindle. I find it unlikely the print version would have this problem.

Beautiful hardcover edition of the Qur'an is presented in both Arabic and English, with English commentary included in an easy-to-read format. Yusif Ali translation. This is the one we recommend for classrooms and school libraries for the reason that, while it may not be an individual Muslim's favorite English version (there are so many), it is widely accepted/respected and will bring nods of approval from parents of Muslim youngsters in the classroom.Teachers/Librarians: see above, and note that it is appropriate for 7th-12th grade, social studies/humanities.

As a Christian, employed by a government that sends me about, I wanted to understand the differences and simularities of religions so that I may better serve (double entendre).

Very nice quality and easy to read language
