The Qur'an believed by Muslims to be the word of God was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad
1400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic
teaching. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic it has nevertheless
remained difficult to understand in its English translations. This new translation is written
in a contemporary idiom that remains faithful to the original making it easy to read while
retaining its powers of eloquence.
