About this book

The Noble Qur'an, translated by Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, is one of the most widely distributed English translations in the world. It was produced in Madinah and is often found in mosques and given to visitors and new Muslims.

Its distinctive feature is that explanation is built directly into the text. Words and phrases in brackets clarify the meaning of verses according to classical commentaries such as those of at-Tabari, al-Qurtubi and Ibn Kathir, and supporting hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari are frequently quoted in footnotes. This means the reader gets a translation and an interpretation at the same time.

The Arabic text appears alongside the English, and the volume includes appendices explaining key terms and concepts.
