The Meaning of the Wise Qur’an

The Meaning of The Wise Qur’an: The Eternal Book of Guidance (Paperback)

The Qur’an is the universal and eternal divine message for all mankind. It was revealed to the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the Arabic language and has been translated into a multitude of languages to make its content more accessible to those who do not speak Arabic. Numerous English language translations also exist, with the most accomplished ones, however, dating back to the beginning of the last century. As the English language evolves, new translations will inevitably follow. This present translation is a plain English translation of the Qur’an, with the aim being to make the text accessible to everybody who speaks English, just like the original Arabic is of a style accessible to everybody and not just a select few.

About the Translator

Dr. Sahib Mustaqim Bleher is a convert to Islam who is familiar to Muslims in the UK for both his lectures and booklets on a great variety of subjects. As a professional writer and translator he carefully edited both the Muhammad Pickthall and Yusuf Ali translations of the Qur’an for IDCI to in some way modernise the now antiquated language those translations originally employed whilst being mindful not to alter the approach those translators took when rendering the meaning of the Arabic Qur’an in English. Those editions have been highly popular. With the present volume, the translator dedicated years of his life to produce a highly readable translation of the Qur’anic message of his own which he hopes has remained faithful to the original, expressed in plain English and informed by the classical Islamic texts on the interpretation of the Qur’an (Tafsir). We pray that this translation will open the door to the divine message for a large section of English speakers.
