Meanings of the Glorious Quran

Muhammad Maramaduke Pickthall's classic The Meanings of the Glorious Koran was the first English interpretation by a British Muslim. First published in 1930, it has never since been out of print. Written in Early Modern English, which present-day readers find archaic, this new edition has been completely revised for the benefit of contemporary readers. Like the original, this new edition seeks to convey the rhythm and rhetorical force of the Arabic. Also included are a new general introduction; additional introductions to each Surah; and footnotes explaining references, divergences from Pickthall's rendering, and other points.
