The Holy Qur'an: Text, Translation and Commentary
English translation of the Qur'an
The Holy Qur'an: Text, Translation and Commentary is an English translation of the Qur'an by the British IndianAbdullah Yusuf Ali (1872–1953) during the British Raj.
It has become among the most widely known English translations of the Qur'an, due in part to its prodigious use of footnotes, and its distribution and subsidization by Saudi Arabian beneficiaries during the late 20th century.[1]
History
