About this listen

The Holy Qur'an in an English translation, with commentary.

  • Detailed commentary with extensive references to standard authorities, both classical and modern
  • Comprehensive introduction deals with Islamic teachings and the collection and arrangement of the Holy Qur'an

"There is no other translation or commentary of the Holy Qur'an in the English language to compete with Maulvi Muhammad Ali's masterpiece." (Al-Haj Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar, translator of the Holy Qur'an)

"To deny the excellence of Maulvi Muhammad Ali's translation, the influence for good it has exercised and its proselytizing utility would be to deny the existence of the light of the sun." (Maulana Abdul Majid Daryabadi, leader of Orthodox Muslim opinion in India)

"...has all the merits of what is desired in a translation." (The Anjuman Himayat-e-Islam, Lahore, Pakistan)

Critic Reviews

"...by far the best text currently available in the English language...incontestably one of the finest interpretations of the scared scripture of Islam. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this translation to students and others seeking to understand the essence and epitome of the Quranic message." (Prof. T. Hargery, director, African Studies, Northeast Missouri State University, Kirksville)

"It is certainly a work of which any scholar might legitimately be proud." (The Quest, London)

Every chapter goes like this:

- 5-10 minute introduction
- 3-5 seconds (a single sentence) of the Qur'an
- 5-10 minutes of commentary
- 3-5 seconds of the Qur'an
- 5-10 minutes of commentary
- 3-5 seconds of the Qur'an
- repeat to end

This is not an exaggeration in the slightest. Completely useless to anyone who wants to listen to the Qur'an itself.

All commentary, no Qur'an
