The Quran Oxford World's Classics-M. A. S. Abdel Haleem
The Quran Oxford World’s Classics-M. A. S. Abdel Haleem
Translated by M. A. S. Abdel Haleem
The Qur'an by M. A. S. Abdel Haleem (Oxford World's Classics) stands out as a landmark achievement in modern academic and general Quranic translation. Professor Abdel Haleem, drawing upon a lifetime of traditional Islamic scholarship from Al-Azhar alongside decades of Western academic rigor at the University of London, designed this translation to overcome the stiffness and archaic phrasing found in older English renderings.The defining strength of Abdel Haleem's translation is its focus on context, intertextuality, and Arabic rhetoric. Understanding that Classical Arabic relies heavily on dynamic shifts in pronoun usage (Iltifat) and implicit references, the translator uses subtle structural formatting—such as paragraph breaks, clear punctuation, and explicit noun references where pronouns might cause ambiguity—to ensure smooth reading. Each Surah begins with an informative introduction detailing its historical context, main themes, and structural connection to preceding chapters. Concise footnotes clarify historical events, geographical locations, and idiomatic Arabic expressions without cluttering the main text. It is a preferred translation across university humanities courses, libraries, and general readers worldwide.
