The Qur’an (Oxford World’s Classics)

The Quran, revered by Muslims as the word of God, was revealed to Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago. It holds the highest authority in Islam and serves as the living source of all Islamic teachings. This sacred text is a comprehensive guide, outlining the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic faith. It stands as a beacon of guidance.

The Quran is not only a sacred text but also a literary masterpiece, widely acknowledged as the greatest in the Arabic language. However, its English translations have often proven challenging to grasp. This new translation endeavors to bridge that gap. It is presented in contemporary language that remains true to the original text, ensuring readability while preserving the Quran’s eloquence. Archaic language and cryptic expressions have been avoided, and the meaning in Arabic is upheld by respecting the context of the discourse.

The Quran’s message was directed at all people, transcending distinctions of class, gender, or age, and this translation aims to be equally accessible to everyone.
