For every Muslim, reading the Arabic text of the Qur’anic verses accurately is crucial. The meanings of Arabic words can shift subtly with slight alterations in diacritics. Understanding this, Darussalam has crafted a special edition of the Noble Qur’an to assist readers and reciters who may not be fluent in Arabic or unable to read the language. This edition thoughtfully includes transliterations of the Noble verses alongside their translations. The transliterations are designed to help non-Arabic speakers pronounce the words correctly, fostering a deeper connection and understanding of the text. We trust that this careful presentation of the Noble Qur’an will significantly aid and benefit readers in their spiritual journey of Qur’anic exploration.
PREFACE
All praise and thanks are Allah’s, the Lord of Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists) and peace be upon the Master of the Messengers, Muhammad (ﷺ). This interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Qur’an has been revised and the following changes have been made:
- Each Verse has been put separately with its English interpretation.
- The Arabic text of the Noble Qur’an has been taken from Mushaf Al-Madinah An-Nabawiyyah, which has been printed by the Mujamma’ of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia for the printing of Al-Mushaf Ash-Sharif in the year 1405 A.H., according to the instructions of the Vice-Chancellor of the Islamic University, instead of the old Arabic text of the previous print of this book which was printed in the United States and Turkey, by the Turkish Calligrapher Sheikh Hamid Al-Amadi.
- There are some additions and subtractions of Chapters and Ahadith from Sahih Al-Bukhari and other Ahadith collections.
- Some additions, corrections, and alterations have been made to improve the English translation and to bring the English interpretation very close to the correct and exact meanings of the Arabic text.
- One more column is added in this particular edition of the interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Qur’an, providing the readers the transliteration of the Arabic Verses along with their translation. It is hoped that the readers will be able to recite the Noble Verses in correct way taking the help of transliteration.
Translators: Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilah & Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan
