Translation of the Meanings of the Glorious Qur’an

The Qur’an occupies a central position in Islamic faith, worship, and moral guidance. For readers who do not understand Arabic, a clear English translation provides an important introduction to its teachings. This edition presents the meanings of the Qur’an in accessible language while encouraging readers to recognize the relationship between revelation, religious belief, and everyday responsibility.

About the Book

Translation of the Meanings of the Glorious Qur’an is an English translation prepared by Saheeh International and published by Abul-Qasim Publishing House.

The work presents the meanings of the Qurʾān, the sacred scripture revealed to Prophet Muḥammad over approximately twenty-three years.

The Qur’an addresses fundamental questions concerning the existence and unity of God, the purpose of human life, moral accountability, and the relationship between humanity and divine guidance.

Its chapters contain accounts of earlier prophets, instructions concerning worship, ethical principles, and descriptions of the Hereafter.

The translation aims to communicate these teachings through understandable English while remaining attentive to the meanings expressed in the Arabic original.

An important consideration in Qur’anic translation is that Arabic expressions may contain linguistic and theological implications that cannot always be reproduced through direct word-for-word equivalents.

Consequently, translations of the Qur’an are generally described as interpretations of its meanings rather than replacements for the original revelation.

This distinction helps readers approach the English text with an awareness of the interpretive choices involved.

The work introduces readers to the Qur’an’s presentation of divine mercy, justice, repentance, and individual responsibility.

It also provides access to passages concerning family relationships, social obligations, charity, and the treatment of others.

The prophetic narratives connect these ethical teachings with examples drawn from religious history.

For English-speaking readers, the translation provides a foundation for studying the Qur’an systematically, whether through continuous reading or examination of particular chapters.

Its significance lies in making the central teachings of Islamic scripture accessible beyond the Arabic-speaking world.
