The Quran Beheld: An English Translation from the Arabic

Product Information

Keller released a translation of the Quran titled The Quran Beheld in 2022 which strives to provide readers with a unique sense of the high eloquence and beauty of the Quran while also maintaining the linguistic and rhetorical accuracy. [9] [ non-primary source needed] In the translator's own words, "Seven key areas of meaning" were "neglected by previous translations. Such gaps result in crucial elements of the Quran’s themes, logic, arguments, message, and meanings being lost. The Quran Beheld thus uncovers matters of Arabic meaning in the Quran for the first time in English." [10] [ non-primary source needed] THIS WORK solves an enigma that has puzzled many readers first coming to Islam through English translations of the Quran. The Arabic original stunned hearers in their own language with its unutterable evocative power, incisive arguments, the sharp relief of its contrasts, striking imagery, and precise detail. Most translations stun few. They seem somehow out of focus, vague, the thread of discourse is often inexplicably lost, and they are seldom moving or powerful. The present work is called The Quran Beheld because its translator found that the classical Islamic curriculum for learning the Quranic sciences lifts the veil from the divine masterpiece like stepping from a dark and silent house into a lively spring day outside. Everything changes.” This patronage led to him giving counsel to Prince Ghazi where he continues to serve as a senior fellow in Ghazi’s Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought.

This would have taken months, and did not take place, and would have been very difficult to find unbiased witnesses, for, in such an atmosphere of heated sides.” Study varied chapters and selections of the Quran and the methodology of its translation with Sheikh Nuh Keller. The introduction explains seven key areas of meaning, ubiquitous throughout the Quran, not incorporated by any previous translation. Such gaps have prevented serious apprehension of many of the themes, logic, and arguments that carry the message of the Quran’s suras forward. Readers may judge for themselves how much this matters.

Waley told MEE: “As an insider, I had nothing but kind treatment from Besa [Krasniqi] but it is very obvious to me, and I have to say this in the kindest way possible, that a person who has been proven to do the things that she has done needs help and should not be trying to help others.
