Reviews

Dr Lings was unique in his ability to convey the most subtle nuances of the Arabic language--whether prose, poetry or, as in the present book, divine revelation itself--into English of the very highest and purest calibre. In this collection of Qur'anic verses translated in his numerous works one is treated to a rare glimpse of how the English language can be skilfully crafted in order to convey something of the spiritual grandeur of the Arabic revelation. Such translations are the fruit not only of a mind that had grasped the meaning of 'the letter', but also of a heart that had fully assimilated the spirit of the revelation. Dr Reza Shah-Kazemi, author and scholar of Sufism and Interfaith dialogue.

'This translation conveys something of the beauty of the language of the Sacred Text as no other English translation has been able to do. It is a major addition to the corpus of Qur'anic translations.' -- Prof S. H. Nasr 'These translations by a master of the English language who is also an eminent student of the Qur'an are of inestimable value.' -- Gai Eaton 'In addition to his stunning classical English, Dr Martin Lings was both a master of Arabic and a brilliant scholar of Islam. This rare combination of skills made him the ideal candidate to translate the Qur'an.' -- Hamza Yusuf
