This translation is a plain literal one. For we aimed to
address at the average English knowing reader to understand the
meaning of the Qur'an our essential methodology has been
simplicity and clarity in the exposition. Hence possible endeavor
has been allocated to find simple and plain befitting and
equivalent vocabularies and no brackets have been used and no
commentary has been adopted either. Alongside the conveyance
of the meaning the linguistic and phrasal structure the syntax
the lucidity the fluency the eloquence and the soothing and
pleasing emotional character of the Qur'an have also been strived
to be transmitted.
My pray is to obtain Allah's pardoning for any obviously
unintentional mistakes. And my thanks also are for Him for He
granted me the education the time and the health fort the
completion of this manuscript which took me several decades.
