Description
The Qur’an is the word of Allah (SWT), it has been sent down to guide humanity for all times to come. No book can be like it. As you come to the Qur’an, Allah speaks to you. To read the Qur’an is to hear Him, converse with Him and to walk in His ways. It is the encounter of life with the Life-giver.
Three main objectives have served as guidelines: To present correct meanings, as far as possible, in accordance with ‘aqeedah ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah. To simplify and clarify the language for the benefit of all readers. To let the Qur’an speak for itself, adding footnotes only where deemed necessary for explanation of points not readily understood or when more than one meaning is acceptable.

It is now available in hardback form for ease in carrying and distribution.
