The Meaning
Of The Glorious Quraan
Translated into the English Language
By
Marmaduke Pickthall
"...
The Qur'an cannot be translated. ...The book is here rendered almost literally
and every effort has been made to choose befitting language. But the result
is not the Glorious Qur'an, that inimitable symphony, the very sounds
of which move men to tears and ecstasy. It is only an attempt to present
the meaning of the Qur'an-and peradventure something of the charm in English.
It can never take the place of the Qur'an in Arabic, nor is it meant to
do so..." [Marmaduke Pickthall, 1930]
