The Quran - A New Translation

This superb new translation of the Quran is written in contemporary language that remains faithful to the meaning and spirit of the original, making the text crystal clear while retaining all of this great work's eloquence.

The translation is accurate and completely free from the archaisms, incoherence, and alien structures that mar existing translations. Thus, English speaking readers will have a text of the Qur'an which is easy to use and comprehensible.

Furthermore, Abdel Haleem includes notes that explain geographical, historical, and personal allusions as well as an index in which Quranic material is arranged into topics for easy reference. His introduction traces the history of the Quran, examines its structure and stylistic features, and considers issues related to militancy, intolerance, and the subjection of women.
