The meaning of the Holy/Glorious Qur'an/Koran is an explanatory translation of the Qur'an by Marmaduke Pickthall, first published in 1930.In 1928, Pickthall took a two-year sabbatical to complete his translation of the meaning of the Qur’an, a work that he considered as the summit of his achievement. Like any other Muslim scholar, Pickthall too maintained that the Qur’an being the word of Allah could not be translated. He wrote in his foreword: “The Qur’an cannot be translated.” Understandably he titled his work that he finally published in 1930 as The Meaning of the Glorious Quran (A. A. Knopf, New York 1930), declaring that it is a simply a meaning of the Message and not a presentation in English of the Arabic text. It was first by a Muslim whose native language was English, and remains among the two most popular translations, the other being the work of Abdullah Yusuf Ali.
