Description

The Qur'an is a sacred text that has been revered by Muslims for 1400 years. It is the supreme authority in Islam, setting out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. This new translation, written in a contemporary idiom, aims to make the Qur'an's message accessible to everyone, regardless of class, gender, or age. The translation is faithful to the original, avoiding archaisms and cryptic language while preserving the Arabic meaning. The result is a text that is both easy to read and retains its eloquence. The message of the Qur'an was directly addressed to all people, and this translation seeks to convey that same universality. Oxford World's Classics has made this translation available, providing a wealth of valuable features, including expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies.
