translated by Mohamed K. Jasser

Most, if not all, available translations of The Holy Koran use old Arabic interpretations as a source for the meanings of words rather than the actual text of the Koran. These interpretations, written hundreds of years ago - and hundreds of years after the Koran - have nothing to recommend them as having high degrees of accuracy or correctness. In an effor to reilluminate the original text as revealed to the Prophet, Dr. Mohamed K. Jasser went back to the classical Arabic and utilized in-text comparisons to translate the text into readable, exact contemporary English that remains faithful to its source. This translation is a valuable addition to the library of all practicing Moslems, or of anyone interested in the Islamic faith.

Dr. Jasser is board-certified in nuclear medicine and nuclear cardiology. During Operation Desert Storm, he appeared many times on TV discussing the nature of the conflict in the Middle East. He has written a lengthy introduction to his translation, explaining the history of Koran translation and his own methodology.
