This book contains the complete translation of the Qur’an from Arabic into English by Muhammad Asad, along with the Arabic text and transliteration of that text, and extensive footnotes and commentary.

In Muhammad Asad’s words: “The Message of the Qur’an, which I am now placing before the public, is based on a lifetime of study and of many years spent in Arabia. It is an attempt – perhaps the first attempt – at a really idiomatic, explanatory rendition of the Qur’anic message into a European language.”

With a prologue by Hasan Gai Eaton and original artwork by Ahmed Moustafa, this translation is widely considered to be the foremost in conveying the meaning and sensibility of the original Arabic text, making this edition a must-have for both veteran scholars and English readers with an interest in Islamic studies.

This is a beautifully-produced hardback book with liberal use of color throughout the book. Please see the page samples below the cover image.
