Summary

The Koran (Qur'an) is regarded by Muslims as the word of God (Allah) as revealed to the prophet Muhammad.  It is divided into 114 chapters (surahs), arranged roughly by length.  This version, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran, is a widely used English translation of the Koran by a Muslim Englishman.  Many Muslims, however, including Pickthall, believe that true translations of the Koran from the original Arabic are impossible, and see translations into other languages only as useful interpretations.
