The most influential Book in the history of literature, recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, the Qur'an is the supreme authority and living source of all Islamic teaching, the sacred text that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of Islam.

This superb new translation of the Qur'an by M. A. S. Abdel Haleem is written in contemporary language that remains faithful to the meaning and spirit of the original, making the text crystal clear while retaining all of this great work's eloquence. The translation is accurate and completely free from the archaisms, incoherence, and alien structures that mar existing translations.


Thus, for the first time, English-speaking readers will have a text of the Qur'an which is easy to use and comprehensible.

The Opener, the Prayer, the Mother of the Book and the Great Qur’an are some of the names for the first and the Greatest chapter of the Qur’an. And the Seven Oft Repeated Verses is the greatest Light gifted to the Prophet ﷺ and his ummah (community of believers).

The Prophet ﷺ said, “Allah {the Perfect and Most High} said: ‘I have divided prayer [al-Fatiha] between Myself and My servant into two halves, and My servant shall have what he has asked for.'”— Sahih Muslim

May Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, make us people of the prayer, those who recite the Qur’an with the hope of attaining guidance and felicity.
