Book Summary

The Qur'an: A Translation is an English translation of the Holy Qur'an by M. H. Shakir. The Qur'an is the central religious text of Islam and is believed by Muslims to be the word of God (Allah) revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of about 23 years. The text covers a wide range of themes, including faith, worship, morality, justice, compassion, human responsibility, and guidance for personal and social life. It also recounts the stories of earlier prophets such as Adam, Noah, Moses, and Jesus. Shakir's translation aims to present the meanings of the original Arabic text in clear and accessible English while preserving its spiritual and moral message.

About the Translator

M. H. Shakir (Muhammad Habib Shakir) was a scholar and translator best known for his English translation of the Qur'an. His work is widely read among English-speaking Muslims and students of Islamic studies because of its relatively literal approach to translating the Arabic text. Shakir sought to make the Qur'an understandable to readers who do not know Arabic while maintaining fidelity to the original meaning. His translation remains one of the many respected English versions of the Qur'an and is frequently used for study, reflection, and comparative religious research.
