Introduction
All praise is due to Allah, and may Allah's peace and blessings be upon our Prophet
Muhammad and his family and Companions!
The noble Qur'an is the speech of Allah Almighty, the enduring miracle, and the ongoing
argument against all humankind and jinn. It is the foremost source of Islam, which
represents the complete perfection, majesty, miraculousness, and eloquence. With it, the
argument is established against all those who are accountable to their Lord. We are
commanded us to convey it to the people. A Qur'anic verse reads: {And this Qur'an was
revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches} [Sūrat Al-An‘ām:
19]. In another verse, Allah Almighty says: {This [Qur'an] is notification for the people
that they may be warned thereby} [Sūrat Ibrahīm: 52]. He also says: {O Messenger,
announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you
have not conveyed His message} [Sūrat Al-Mā'idah: 67]. And He says: {And strive against
them with it (the Qur'an) a great striving} [Sūrat Al-Furqān: 52]. And the Prophet (may
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: ""Convey from me, even if one verse"" [Al-
Bukhāri]. In another Hadīth, he said: ""The best of you are those who learn the Qur'an and
teach it (to others)."" [Al-Bukhāri]
As non-Arabic speakers represent over 90% of all humanity, we cannot convey the Qur'an
and its meanings, arguments, evidence, and miraculousness to them, unless we rely upon
proficient translations in their respective languages.
And since the work on translating the Qur'an's meanings is poor and falling far short and
has not been given the due attention in many languages, and out of keenness to fulfill part
of this duty, the Rowwad Translation Center, in collaboration with www.IslamHouse.com,
which is affiliated to the Islamic Propagation Office in Rabwah, has embarked upon an
initiative for explaining and disseminating the meanings of the Qur'an through a number of
projects aimed at producing accurate, authentic, and advanced translations of this noble
Book's meanings in the world's languages. These have been printed, made available for
free, and published on the website of the Noble Qur'an encyclopedia www.quranenc.com.
We are greatly pleased to present this new English translation of the Qur'an's meanings for
those who speak this language. All praise is due to Allah Almighty Who facilitated the
accomplishment of this work and made it possible. We hope it will be useful and beneficial
and get accepted as purely done for Allah's sake. We thank everyone who played any part
in finishing this big project.
It is worthy of note here that we are well aware that no matter how accurate any translation
of the Qur'an's meanings may be, it will still fall short in conveying the lofty meanings
contained in the miraculous Qur'anic text, and that the meanings conveyed by the
translation is only the product reached by the level of the team's knowledge and
understanding of this Sacred Book. Naturally, it can be marred by any defect as is the case
with any human endeavor.
As we always seek to improve these translations on an ongoing basis, you are kindly invited
to send your remarks, if any, through the note box opposite each verse in this translation
on
the website of the Noble Qur'an encyclopedia (www.quranenc.com ). For other suggestions
or queries, you can contact us via this email: [email protected].
We implore Allah Almighty to grant us help, guidance, and success and to render our
intention and work righteous! And peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet
Muhammad!
