M a s abdel haleem quran translation accuracy

One of the most up-to-date translations and very readable because it dispenses with all those archaic thees and thous however those thees and thous make the translation more accurate, so we must presume that this is a less accurate translation than those by Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Asad.

It is an edition both for those familiar with the Qur'an and for those coming to it for the first time the message of the Qur'an was directly addressed to all people regardless of class, gender, or age, and this dual-language edition is equally accessible to everyone.

The verses are individually numbered to facilitate comparison with the Arabic. A useful general introduction on the revelation, stylistic features, issues of interpretation and translation of the Qur'an is included, together with summaries of each sura, essential footnotes and an index. This fine binding edition features leather binding, gold page edges, a ribbon marker, and a slip-case. The traditional Arabic calligraphic pages are displayed alongside the English translation, which has been revised for this new edition. Now for the first time it is published with the original Arabic text to give a greater appreciation and understanding of the holy book.

Abdel Haleem's translation has been acclaimed for its success in avoiding archaism and cryptic language to produce a version that is both faithful to the original and easy to read. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, the sacred text has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations. The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago.
