Synopsis
To read the Arabic
text of the Qur'anic Verses in their correct form is of prime importance to
every Muslim, as the meanings of the Arabic words are changed with little
changes of the diacritics. So, to help those readers and reciters who are not
too familiar with the Arabic language or cannot read Arabic, Darussalam has
prepared this edition of the Noble Qur'an inserting the transliteration of the
Noble verses along with their translation. It is hoped that this presentation
will be of great help and benefit in this regard.
Preface
All praise and thanks
are Allah's, the Lord of Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists) and peace be
upon the Master of the Messengers, Muhammad .
This interpretation of the meanings of the Noble Qur'an has been revised and the
following changes have been made:
1. Each Verse has been
put separately with its English interpretation.
2. The Arabic text of the Noble Qur'an has been taken from Mushaf Al-Madinah An-Nabawiyyah,
which has been printed by the Mujamma' of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia for the
printing of Al-Mushaf Ash-Sharif in the year 1405 A.H., according to the
instructions of the Vice-Chancellor of the Islamic University, instead of the
old Arabic text of the previous print of this book which was printed in the
United States and Turkey, by the Turkish Calligrapher Sheikh Hamid Al-Amadi.
3. There are some additions and subtractions of Chapters and Ahadith from Sahih
Al-Bukhari and other Ahadith collections.
4. Some additions, corrections, and alterations have been made to improve the
English translation and to bring the English interpretation very close to the
correct and exact meanings of the Arabic text.
5. One more column is added in this particular edition of the interpretation of
the meanings of the Noble Qur'an, providing the readers the transliteration of
the Arabic Verses along with their translation. It is hoped that the readers
will be able to recite the Noble Verses in more correct way taking the help of
transliteration.
Publisher's Note
Islam is a heavenly system (or regime) for all the dwellers of the earth,
and it is a mighty treasure if only mankind realizes its authenticity and truth.
And in what a great need the whole world is today for real understanding and
thorough studying of its rules and regulations. And how many disasters,
calamities and wars, the mankind of the whole world is suffering because of
their differences in their Faith.
Invitation to Islam is incumbent upon all those who have known it, and have
enjoyed its taste and have been guided through its guidance. So we are

completed and printed with the Help of Allah. All praise and thanks are Allah's,
with Whose blessings are completed the righteous deeds. Peace. Blessings and
Graces of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.
Allah has sent Qur'an to us through His Messenger Muhammad. This Noble Book
provides us guidance in all respects whether it is a matter of life or death. It
is incumbent upon us to recite the Noble Qur'an as much as we can, and as
correct as we can. The Prophet Muhammad ; has said: "The best of you is he who
learns the Qur'an and teaches it."
So, to learn it correctly and teach it correctly, we have to care about the
correct pronunciation of the Arabic words. To provide ease with the correct
pronunciation of the Arabic words. we are producing this special edition of the
Noble Qur'an incorporating in it the transliteration of the Arabic Verses. It is
hoped that this edition will help greatly in this regard.
Lastly, I thank all the brothers who participated in the accomplishment of this
colossal work particularly brother Abdul Ahad and brother Mohammad Munawar who
checked and rechecked again and again the manuscript with great perseverance.
May Allah the All-Mighty bestow on them a great reward in this world and in the
Hereafter.
