About the Book

The Qur'an, translated by M. A. S. Abdel Haleem, is a widely acclaimed English rendering of the Qur'an, presented as part of Oxford University Press's respected Oxford World's Classics series. As the sacred scripture of Islam, the Qur'an is regarded by Muslims as the literal word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, and this translation is prized for combining fidelity to the original Arabic with a genuinely readable, modern English style — a balance that has made it one of the most respected and widely used English translations available to both scholarly and general readers.

Abdel Haleem, a native Arabic speaker and respected scholar of Islamic studies, sought to move beyond older, more archaic translations by rendering the Qur'an's meaning in clear, accessible contemporary English while carefully preserving the rhythm, tone, and nuance of the original text. The edition includes a comprehensive introduction addressing the Qur'an's structure, historical context, and central themes, along with explanatory notes throughout that help orient readers unfamiliar with the text's references, chronology, and theological concepts — making this edition particularly well-suited both for readers approaching the Qur'an for the first time and for those seeking a more precise, contemporary translation to complement their existing study.
