Meaning of the Glorious Koran

The Meaning of the Glorious Koran is an English translation of the Qur'an by Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall, published in the early 20th century. This translation is notable for being one of the first widely used English versions by a Muslim author. The Qur'an, regarded by Muslims as the word of God revealed to the prophet Muhammad, consists of 114 chapters (surahs) and is considered challenging to translate accurately from Arabic, with Pickthall emphasizing that translations serve as interpretations rather than direct equivalents.
