The Qur'an: A Verse Translation

Bruce B. Lawrence

0/5 ( ratings)

A monumental feat of Islam’s founding text rendered in limpid English verse that echoes the sublimity of the Arabic original. The product of a ten-year-long collaboration between one of our most respected scholars of Islam and a poet and scholar of literature , The Qur’ A Verse Translation offers readers the first edition in English to echo, in accessible and resonant verse, the sonorous beauty of the Arabic original as well as the complex nuances of its meaning. Those familiar with the Arabic―and especially the faithful who hear the text recited aloud―know that the Qur’an is a perfect blend of sound and sense. While no translation can perfectly capture these complementary virtues of the original, Habib and Lawrence have come closest to an accessible, clear, and fluid English Qur’an that all readers, no matter their faith or familiarity with the text, can read with pleasure and with a deeper appreciation for the book and the religious tradition founded upon it.
