    The latest English translation of the Holy Quran will be launched here on Saturday, February 8, at 4 pm at the India Islamic Cultural Centre, Lodhi Road. According to the publisher, Pharos Media, this is a highly simple and clear English translation of the Muslim holy book. Only the most authentic Arabic sources have been used in its preparation, and an effort has been made to present the Quran and Islam exactly as they were understood by the early Muslim scholars and commentators of the Holy Quran.

    This translation has been done by the well-known Islamic scholar Dr. Zafarul-Islam Khan, who is the author and translator of over 50 books in Arabic, English, and Urdu. He spent 12 years completing this work. Dr. Khan pursued his education at Indian madrasas, then at Al-Azhar and Cairo University in Egypt, and later earned a doctorate in Islamic Studies from the University of Manchester, UK. He was associated with the Muslim Institute, London, as a research fellow for nearly 13 years. At present, he holds several responsibilities, including being the Director of Darul Musannefin Shibli Academy (Azamgarh) and the editor of its scholarly journal, Ma’arif. Since the year 2000, he has also been the editor of the English newspaper, The Milli Gazette.
