Islam and Sufism

The Meaning of the Glorious Koran

by Marmaduke Pickthall

The first complete English translation of the Qur'an by an English Muslim convert, prepared with the help of scholars in Cairo and Hyderabad. Its dignified, slightly archaic style made it the standard English version for decades, and it is the translation used in this site's scripture room.
