The Quran: A Poetic Translation

This groundbreaking work by Professor Fazlollah Nikayin presents the Qur’an to English-speaking audiences in a form unlike any other — as a poetic, flowing translation that captures the essence and elegance of the original Arabic. Rather than offering a word-for-word rendition, Nikayin’s translation mirrors the rhythm, cadence, and emotive power of the Qur’an, allowing readers to engage with its message on both a spiritual and literary level. It invites readers to appreciate why the Qur’an is memorised and recited with such ease and devotion by Muslims across the world.

More than a translation, this book serves as a bridge between cultures and faiths. By expressing the Qur’an’s message in poetic English, it opens the door to a deeper understanding of Islam’s sacred text for readers of all backgrounds — Muslims and non-Muslims alike. This unique edition is ideal for those interested in religious literature, interfaith dialogue, or simply experiencing the Qur’an through a beautifully crafted lens that speaks to the heart as much as the intellect.
