Title: The Meaning of the Glorious Qur’an
Description: The Qur’an is no ordinary book. To Muslims it is the eternal word of God (Allah), dictated to the prophet Muhammad – peace be with him – via the angel Gabriel (Jibreel). Originally revealed in Arabic, its style is unrivalled, its language eloquent, its meaning deep. It is beyond any translation to render all this richness of expression in another language. Yet, the Qur’an is primarily a book of guidance and must, therefore, be accessible to those who seek the truth contained in it. Whilst a translation cannot be an authoritative replacement of the original, it can make the meaning of its verses available to a non-Arabic speaking readership.
