One of the most influential texts in literature, recognized as the greatest masterpiece in Arabic, the Qur'an serves as the supreme authority and source of all Islamic teachings, outlining the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of Islam. M. A. S. Abdel Haleem's acclaimed English translation, first published in 2004, is celebrated for its faithfulness and clarity. This new edition presents Haleem's translation alongside the original Arabic text, enhancing readers' appreciation and understanding. The contemporary language used in the translation remains true to the original's meaning and spirit, ensuring clarity while preserving eloquence. It is formatted page-for-page with the traditional calligraphic Arabic text, benefiting Muslims and Arabic learners alike. The translation avoids the archaisms and incoherence found in other versions. Additionally, Haleem provides notes that clarify geographical, historical, and personal references, along with an index categorizing Qur'anic material for easy reference. His introduction explores the history, structure, and stylistic features of the Qur'an, addressing issues related to militancy, intolerance, and the subjection of women. This bilingual edition stands as the best available English-language translation, approved by Al-Azhar University, the oldest and leading institution for the study of Arabic and Islam.
