This elegant and new edition comes with a soft synthetic leather case binding and a golden ribbon marker. This Book is an ideal gift to have and present to others. Author Preface I do not wish to write a long Preface. I wish merely to explain the history of my Project, the scope and plan of this work, and the objects I have held in view. In separate introductory Notes I have mentioned the useful books to which I have referred, under the headings: Commentaries on the Qur'an; Translations of the Qur'an; and Useful Works of Reference. I have similarly explained the system, which I have followed in the Transliteration of Arabic Words and Names; the Abbreviations I have used; and the Principal Divisions of the Qur'an. It may be asked: Is there any need for a fresh English Translation? To those who ask this question I commend a careful consideration of the facts, which I have set out in my note on Translations of the Qur'an. After they have read it, I would invite them to take any particular passage say 2:74, or 2:102, or 2:164 and compare it with any previous version they choose. If they find that I have helped them even the least bit further in understanding its meaning, or appreciating its beauty, or catching something of the grandeur of the original, I would claim that my humble attempt is justified. It is the duty of every Muslim-man, woman, or child-to read the Qur'an and understand it according to his own capacity. If anyone of us attains to some knowledge or understanding of it by study, contemplation, and the test of life, both outward and inward, it is his duty, according to his capacity, to instruct others, and share with them the joy and peace which result from contact with the spiritual world. The Qur'an-indeed every religious book-has to be read, not only with the tongue and voice and eyes, but with the best light that our intellect can supply, and even more, with the truest and purest light which our heart and conscience can give us. It is in this spirit that I would have my readers approach the Qur'an. It was between the ages of four and five that I first learned to read its Arabic words, to revel in its rhythm and music, and wonder at its meaning. I have a dim recollection of the khatm ceremony which closed that stage. It was called "completion": it really just began a spiritual awakening that has gone on ever since. My revered father taught me Arabic, but I must have imbibed from him into my innermost being something more, something which told me that the entire world's thoughts, all the world's most beautiful languages and literatures, are but vehicles for that ineffable message which comes to the heart in rare moments of ecstasy. The soul of mysticism and ecstasy is in the Qur'an, as well as the plain guidance for the plain man, which a world in a hurry affects to consider as sufficient. It is good to make this personal confession, to an age in which it is in the highest degree unfashionable to speak of religion or spiritual peace or consolation, an age in which words like these draw forth only derision, pity, or contempt. I have explored Western lands, Western manners, and the depths of Western thought and Western learning, to an extent, which has rarely fallen to the lot of an Eastern mortal. But I have never lost touch with my Eastern heritage. Through all my successes and failures, I have learned to rely more and more upon the one true thing in all life-the voice that speaks in a tongue above that of mortal man. For me the embodiment of that voice has been in the noble words of the Arabic Qur'an, which I have tried to translate for myself and apply to my experience repeatedly. The service of the Qur'an has been the pride and the privilege of many Muslims. I felt that with such life-experience as has fallen to my lot, my service to the Qur'an should be to present it in a fitting garb in English. That ambition I have cherished in my mind for more than forty years. I have collected books and materials for it. I have visited places, undertaken journeys, taken notes, sought the society of men, and tried to explore their thoughts and hearts, in order to equip myself for the task. Sometimes I have considered it too stupendous for me-the double task of understanding the original, and reproducing its nobility, its beauty, its poetry, its grandeur, and its sweet practical reasonable application to everyday experience. Then I have blamed myself for lack of courage-the spiritual courage of men who dared all in the Cause, which was so dear to them. Two sets of apparently accidental circumstances at last decided me. A man's life is subject to inner storms far more devastating than those in the physical world around him. In such a storm, in the bitter anguish of a personal sorrow which nearly unseated my reason and made life seem meaningless, a new hope was born out of a systematic pursuit of my long-cherished project. Watered by tears, my manuscript began to grow in depth and earnestness if not in bulk. I guarded it like a secret treasure. Wanderer that l am, I carried it about, thousands of miles, to all sorts of countries and among all sorts of people. At length, in the city of Lahore, I happened to mention the matter to some young people who held me in respect and affection. They showed an enthusiasm and an eagerness which surprised me. They almost took the matter out of my hands. They asked for immediate publication. HIGHLIGHTS: Arabic numerals replace Roman numerals Surah names transliterated Juz’ division markers included Arabic text in Madinah script, newly reset and improved More appropriate Islamic terminology used throughout, e.g., “Allah” instead of “God” and “Messenger” replaces “Apostle” New reset type with updated spelling and transliteration Extensive running commentary revised and clarified to avoid misinterpretation

It’s no secret that the science of Qur’an interpretation is among the noblest sciences and loftiest branches of knowledge. It is one of the three Islamic sciences enjoined on the Muslims by the Wise Law-Maker, who made learning it a communal obligation and seeking it a recommended sunnah. The Islamic nation has come a long way in accomplishing these missions throughout the ages and ever-changing circumstances. There were esteemed scholars who carried out these noble missions throughout the decades of centuries past. Among them was the great Imam Tabarani in the fields of hadeeth and Qur’an interpretation. We present to you a verification of the great Qur’an interpretation book by Imam Tabarani, Tafseer Al-Quran Al-Atheem (The Interpretation of the Great Qur’an), that includes an introduction to the Science of Qur’an Interpretation.

This elegant and new edition comes with a soft synthetic leather case binding and a golden ribbon marker. This Book is an ideal gift to have and present to others.

Author's Preface
I do not wish to write a long preface. I merely wish to explain the history of my project, the scope and plan of this work, and the objects I have held in view. In the separate introductory notes I have mentioned the useful books to which I have referred, under the headings: Commentaries on the Qur'an, Translations of the Qur'an, and Useful Works of Reference. I have similarly explained the system that I have followed in the transliteration of Arabic words and names, the abbreviations I have used, and the principal divisions of the Qur'an. It may be asked: Is there a need for a fresh English translation? To those who ask this question, I commend a careful consideration of the facts, which I have set out in my note on translations of the Qur'an. After they have read it, I would invite them to take any particular passage—say 2:74, or 2:102, or 2:164—and compare it with any previous version they choose. If they find that I have helped them understand its meaning even the least bit more, or appreciate its beauty, or catch something of the grandeur of the original, I would claim that my humble attempt is justified. It is the duty of every Muslim man, woman, and child to read the Qur'an and understand it according to their own capacity.

If any of us attain some knowledge or understanding by study, contemplation, or the test of life, both outward and inward, it is our duty, according to our capacity, to instruct others, and share with them the joy and peace which result from contact with the spiritual world. The Qur'an—indeed every religious book—has to be read, not only with the tongue and voice and eyes, but with the best light that our intellect can supply and, even more, with the truest and purest light which our heart and conscience can give us. It is in this spirit that I would have my readers approach the Qur'an.

It was between the ages of four and five that I first learned to read its Arabic words, to revel in its rhythm and music, and wonder at its meaning. I have a dim recollection of the khatm ceremony which closed that stage. It was called "completion": it really just began a spiritual awakening that has gone on ever since. My revered father taught me Arabic, but I must have imbibed from him into my innermost being something more, something that told me that the entire world's thoughts, all the world's most beautiful languages and literatures, are but vehicles for that ineffable message which comes to the heart in rare moments of ecstasy. The soul of mysticism and ecstasy is in the Qur'an, as well as plain guidance for the plain person, which a world in a hurry considers sufficient.

It is good to make this personal confession in an age in which it is in the highest degree unfashionable to speak of religion or spiritual peace or consolation, an age in which words like these draw only derision, pity, or contempt. I have explored Western lands, Western manners, and the depths of Western thought and Western learning to an extent which has rarely fallen to the lot of an Eastern mortal. But I have never lost touch with my Eastern heritage. Through all my successes and failures, I have learned to rely more and more upon the one true thing in all life—the voice that speaks in a tongue above that of mortal man. For me, the embodiment of that voice has been in the noble words of the Arabic Qur'an, which I have tried to translate for myself and apply to my experience repeatedly. The service of the Qur'an has been the pride and the privilege of many Muslims. I felt that with such life experience as has fallen to my lot, my service to the Qur'an should be to present it in a fitting garb in English.

That ambition I have cherished in my mind for more than forty years. I have collected books and materials for it. I have visited places, undertaken journeys, taken notes, sought the society of men, and tried to explore their thoughts and hearts, in order to equip myself for the task. Sometimes I have considered it too stupendous for me—the double task of understanding the original, and reproducing its nobility, its beauty, its poetry, its grandeur, and its sweet practical reasonable application to everyday experience. Then I have blamed myself for my lack of courage—the spiritual courage of those who gave all to the cause that was so dear to them. Two sets of apparently accidental circumstances at last made my decision for me. A person's life is subject to inner storms far more devastating than those in the physical world around them. In such a storm, in the bitter anguish of a personal sorrow which nearly unseated my reason and made life seem meaningless, a new hope was born out of a systematic pursuit of my long-cherished project.

Watered by tears, my manuscript began to grow in depth and earnestness if not in bulk. I guarded it like a secret treasure. Wanderer that l am, I carried it about, over thousands of miles and to all sorts of countries and among all sorts of people. At length, in the city of Lahore, I happened to mention the matter to some young people who held me in respect and affection. They showed an enthusiasm and an eagerness which surprised me. They almost took the matter out of my hands. They asked for immediate publication.

Highlights: Arabic numerals replace Roman numerals. Surah names are transliterated. Juz division markers are included. The Arabic text appears in the Madinah script, newly reset and improved. More appropriate Islamic terminology is used throughout (e.g., “Allah” instead of “God” and “Messenger” instead of “Apostle”). A new reset type has updated spelling and transliteration. The extensive running commentary is revised and clarified to avoid misinterpretation.

This copy of the Noble Qur’an is based on the Uthmani script according to the recitation of Hafs an ‘Aasim. The copy is followed by du’a khatmul Quran (the supplication for completion of the Qur’an), an index arranged according to the order of the Surahs, and pages explaining Qur’anic punctuation and recitation guidelines. Also included is an introduction to this idea of the Mushaf and to researchers Omar Ahmad El-Habash and Dr. Mohammad Deery, who worked on this project. It contains some tips along with a suggested schedule for easy memorization of the Quran, and includes the first two words of each verse in the margin.

The Holy Quran is one message delivered to all of mankind. It is a guidebook for living a life based on Islamic values and good manners. The Holy Quran reveals that this life and the life in the hereafter are seamlessly intertwined. However, it is this life that will determine whether each of us will be successful in the next life. If the two were not connected, this would be contrary to Allah’s Mercy. Allah Almighty gives mankind countless opportunities to attain salvation in this life so that we can reap the benefits in the Hereafter.

The message of the Holy Quran was carried by an Arab man, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and delivered in the Arabic language. As a result, the Islamic religion and Arab culture are also intertwined. However, the Arab culture is lacking in certain areas due to the influence of western cultures. Isn’t it time to examine our culture and reinvigorate it in accordance with Islam and the needs of humanity? The Arab culture once led the world in a wide array of sciences and humanities. Getting back to our roots will pave the way for future generations and strengthen our state of Islam.

This revolutionary book presents the Holy Qur'an in the form of a textbook and workbook so that you can enjoy the message, even as you learn how to implement its lessons in your life.

Within, you will find the full translated text of the Holy Qur'an, hundreds of related sayings of the Prophet to enhance the message, reasons for revelation, note boxes for your reflections, and graphics to enhance your reading pleasure.

You will find your exploration of the message refreshing and renewing and will walk away with a better appreciation for how this ancient book of wisdom can apply to our lives in the modern world.

This Qur'an concept is revolutionary in its ability to communicate the English meaning of Arabic Qur'anic text. Each word or phrase of Arabic Qur'an is in 1 color, and corresponding (in the same color) is the English equivalent. Thus, every word, phrase, and sentence of the Qur'an is color coded, both in Arabic and English, enabling the new or novice Arabic reader to glean the meanings of the Arabic text. Check out the sample pages to learn more.

The Holy Qu'ran is the book of the universe. It was revealed to a single human being 1400 years ago over the span of 23 years. No other book in the history of the world has inspired so many, elicited so much scholarly effort, been memorized by so many people of all colors and ages, or so loved. What other book has described the development of the fetus in the womb, the expansion of the universe, the mysteries of water, bees, ants and camels; the lives of all the major prophets, peace be upon them one and all; the miraculous births of Mary, may Allah be pleased with her, and Jesus, peace be upon him, and the mysterious role of Shaytan to try and make us forget our true nature? Where else can we learn how Adam, peace be upon him, the father of us all, endeared himself to Allah by accepting the Trust of being "programmed" with the names of every other created thing in the universe, and by asking for forgiveness and submitting his will to the Source of his being? Where else can we find the reassurance that one of Allah's Names, The Merciful, is the foremost of all His Names?

The translator of this volume, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, spent his life studying the Quran, having memorized it in its entirety by the age of 6. He became fluent in both Arabic and English, mastered world literature and history, travelled widely, and worked on this translation for 40 years. Allah willing, He will make you see and taste and sense a generous portion of the infinite magnificence of this Quintessential Ocean, the Quran. <

This book is a useful curriculum for schools teaching the interpretation of the whole Qur’an. The authors followed one systematic, closed, and gradual method while they interpreted the Qur’an. Here are some points that were followed:

• Clear and simple sentences appropriate to students’ ages and levels
• Each lesson begins with new and previous vocabulary words that students need to know while learning the meanings of the Qur’an
• Brief introductions explains general ideas for each surah
• Interpretation for each surah in direct language
• Provides a connection between previous surahs and upcoming ones
• Provides one interpretation that most interpreters agree on with careful avoidance of weak and multi-interpretations
• Follows the predecessor method while interpreting Allah’s character verses
• Provides several enrichment activities that aim to stimulate students while searching and thinking of surahs’ meanings; thus, these activities keep information fresh in the minds of students while they discuss the results with teachers
• Provides each surah with significant lessons for teachers to bridge the connection between each theme and its related verse. This is useful to guide students and deepen their Islamic morals
• Each lesson ends with multiple questions which aim to evaluate student comprehension
• Provides footnotes of sayings, narrations, events, or hadeeth related to the lesson theme which enriches students’ knowledge
• Provides only Sahih hadeeth, plus mentions the group of hadeeth reporters and the history behind each surah’s revelation
