INTRODUCTION
All
praise
is due
to
AllŒh;
and
blessings
and
peace
be
upon His
messenger
and servant,Muúammad,
and
upon
his
family
and companions
and
whoever
follows
his
guidance
until
the
Day
of Resurrection.There
is clearly
a
need
for
a
presentation
of
the
meanings
of the Holy QurÕŒn in English which is precise enough to be useful as a reference for Muslims and students of Arabic yet also suitable for daÔwahpurposes
to
non-Muslims.
T
he
Arabic
QurÕŒn
has
always spoken for itself –to those who discover it for the first time as well as
to
those
who
study
it
in
depth.
T
he
general
meanings
in
a translation
should
thus
be
correct,
as
far
as
human
ability
permits, and clear, in a readable and uncomplicated expression.Al-MuntadŒ
al-IslŒmi
has
selected
this
edition
by
êaúeeú International
(first
published
by
Abul-Qasim
Publishing
House, Jeddah,
Saudi
Arabia)
as
the
one
most
suitable
for
distribution. Widely
acknowledged
for
improvement over previous
translations, its
language
closely
adheres
to
that
of
the
original
text
while remaining lucid and intelligible.Without
going
into
excessive
detail,
a
word
is due
about
the methodology
of
this
abbreviated
edition.
T
hree
main
objectives served as guidelines for the work:
1.To present correct meanings, as far as possible, in accordancewith the Ôaqeedah ofAhl as-Sunnah wal-JamŒÔah2.To
simplify
and
clarify
the
language
for
the
benefit
of
all readers3.To
let
the
QurÕŒn
speak
for
itself,
adding
footnotes
only wheredeemed
necessary
for
explanation
of
points
not
readily understoodor when more than one meaning is acceptable
Each
verse
was
reviewed
in
Arabic
with
reference
to
several
works
of tafseerand
grammar.
W
here
differences
arose,
explanations
were generally taken from an authentic úad¥thor, in the absence of

ii
such,
those
by
the
most
knowledgable
of
the §aúŒbahand tŒbiÔ´n
as quoted by Ibn Katheer.1
English word order was chosen to conform more closely with that of the Arabic text. This facilitates comparison for the student, and the reader is brought somewhat closer to the feel of the original expression.
Transliterated
Arabic
terms
have
been
avoided wherever an English definition could serve, keeping exceptions to a minimum.
N
ecessary
clarifications
or
additions
are
given
in footnotes.
C
are
has
also
been
taken
to
avoid
the
definitions
of modern
Arabic
dictionaries,
which
are
often
variant
with
the language
of
the
QurÕŒn
and
reflect
the degree
of change
which has crept into the understanding of certain concepts with the passing of time. Instead, classical definitions were applied.In
compliance
with
standard
regulations,
words
not
derived from
the
Arabic
text
but
added
for
the
purpose
of
clarification
or the completion of English meaning have been enclosed in brackets. The
exception
is in
regard
to
the
frequently
occurring
expressions of
"association
of
another
with
AllŒh"
(shirk)
and
"fearing
AllŒh" (taqwŒ),
where
the
divine
name,
although
not
