The Qur'an Paperback Bangladesh Print (The Quran Paperback)

Readers approaching the Qur'an in English usually want a translation that reads as continuous modern prose, and the Oxford edition has become one of the most widely used for that purpose. The volume runs to 512 pages in a paperback printed for Bangladesh, and presents the translated text of all one hundred and fourteen surahs, each carrying its traditional name. Editorial material in an edition of this kind sets out historical background and explains how particular terms have been rendered, which helps readers who have no Arabic follow the reasoning behind a wording. A translation is offered as a rendering of meaning rather than as a replacement for the Arabic text, which is how translations are generally treated in Muslim scholarship. About this edition: • A complete English translation covering all 114 surahs • 512 pages in a paperback printed for the Bangladesh market • Modern English phrasing rather than archaic construction • Issued under the Oxford imprint For English-speaking Muslim readers, students of religion and anyone reading the text for the first time, published by Oxford and available at Boipoka.
