This is a nice hardbound edition of the popular 3-column format Holy Quran with Arabic Text, Romanized (Transliterated) into English, and translation of Muhammed Marmaduke Pickthall.
The advantage of a “romanized” transliteration of the Quran is that it allows those who are not aware of Arabic language & eager to recite and for the beginner to learn Quranic Arabic script to be able to sound out problematic verses or words of the Quran, and to be used as an aid in proper enunciation and pronunciation of Quranic Arabic text. Quran comes with the “Persian” script, commonly used in India, Pakistan and throughout the world.
It is a fact that no system of perfect transcription is possible, however, it has to be acknowledged that Mr. Abdul Haleem Eliasi’s (Transliterater) approach is very simple and much nearer to the perfection.
Questions and answers
What is Roman transliteration?
It is the Arabic text written out in English letters so it can be sounded out by someone who does not read Arabic script. It is a reading aid rather than a substitute for learning the script.
Who is this edition for?
It suits anyone who wants to recite but cannot yet read Arabic script, and beginners working towards it. The three column layout puts Arabic, transliteration and translation side by side.
Whose translation is it?
The English translation is by Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall, one of the widely used translations. The publisher is Idara.
How many pages is it?
640 pages, hardbound. The full publication detail including the ISBN is listed on this page.
What size is the book?
It measures roughly 25 by 19 cm and weighs about 1.27 kg, so it is a home and masjid copy rather than something to carry daily. A pocket edition would suit travel better.
Is it hardcover?
Yes, it is a hardbound edition. That is the sensible binding for a book opened repeatedly over years, and it is part of why it sits at 1.27 kg.
Can I learn to read Arabic from it?
It helps you sound out the words, which is a starting point, but learning the script itself needs a qaidah and ideally a teacher. Many people use both together.
Is the Arabic text included?
Yes. The layout carries the Arabic text alongside the transliteration and the English translation, which is the point of the three column format.
Is it suitable as a gift?
It is a common gift for a new Muslim or for someone beginning to recite, since it removes the first barrier. The hardbound format presents well.
Can I compare it in store?
Yes, and comparing translations side by side is the practical way to choose. Cii Stores is a physical shop in Ormonde, Johannesburg, with delivery across South Africa.
What other translations do you stock?
Several translations and dual language editions are stocked, and the translator is named on each product page. They sit together on our Quran page.
