The first translation of the Quran into English was done in 1649 by Alexander Ross. Since that first translation, many more attempts have been made to penetrate the work from an outside, academic point of view… READ MORE

ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR

Dr. Mustafa Khattab is a Canadian-Egyptian authority on interpreting the Quran. He was a member of the first team that translated the Ramadan night prayers (Tarawîḥ) live from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina (2002-2005).

I have a special interest in English translations of the Qur’an published from 1649 to date. Spanning over three decades, I have collected around 80 complete English translations from different parts of the world. I was also privileged to be in communication with some of the translators, including Professor MAS Abdel Haleem under whose supervision I wrote a Master’s paper on “Qur’an Translations” way back in 1999. I am so delighted to receive today one of the latest translations of the Qur’an published from Canada. The Clear Qur’an is the most user-friendly translation I have ever found and I will use it as a handy reference for many months, if not years, to come In-sha-Allah.

“Although countless English translations of the Quran have been produced over the last few decades, many translators did not have the necessary qualifications to undertake this mighty task, rendering the Quran inaccessible to some and misunderstood by others. The Clear Quran—which is noted for clarity, accuracy, eloquence, and flow — is indeed a scholarly and timely work that reflects the beauty and relevance of Islam. I highly recommend Dr. Mustafa Khattab’s translation.”

“Among the Muslim translators, Dr. Khattab stands out for displaying a thorough understanding of the needs of readers. His translation therefore is most likely to win a wide acclaim.”

The Clear Quran lives up to its name—written in a clear, easily accessible English style. Converts, Muslim youth, and interested non-Muslims who find other translations difficult to follow will be glad for The Clear Quran.

The Clear Quran® Collections

Thousands of hours have been put into this work over the last few years to guarantee accuracy, clarity, eloquence, and flow. To achieve accuracy, the translator has made use of the greatest and most celebrated works of old and modern tafsir (Quran commentaries), and shared the work with several Imams in North America for feedback and insight. For clarity, every effort has been made to select easy to understand words and phrases that reflect the beauty, flow, and power of the original text. Along with informative footnotes and surah (chapter) introductions, verses have been grouped and titled based on their themes for a better understanding of the chapters, their main concepts, and internal coherence. Thanks to our dedicated team of scholars, editors, and proofreaders, we believe that what you are holding in your hands now is the finest translation of the Final Revelation.
