Deluxe Edition: The Noble Qur'an meaning with Explanatory Notes

A deluxe thermo-leather bound, hardback edition of the Noble Qur’an with translation and notes by Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani. A limited time-limited quantity collectors edition from Turath Publishing.

The elegant illumination that is found on the opening spread of the Fatiha and Baqarah of this edition is a facsimile of the Tipu Sultan (1441-1442/845AH) mushaf originally written by the scribe Muhammad Mu’min ibn Abdillah al-Muwarid. This was a copy originally produced for Sultan Abu Shuja’ ad-Din Bahadur Khan, the ruler of the Transoxiana region at the time, and now housed at the University of St Andrews’ Library in Scotland.

The celebrated Ma‘ariful Qur’an, an 8-volume Urdu commentary on the Qur'an, by Mawlana Mufti Muhammad Shafi was first published in the early 1970s. Decades later, the Ma‘ariful Qur’an was translated into English by his two sons Mufti Taqi Uthmani and Mawlana Muḥammad Wali Razi, as well as Professor Muhammad Shameem.

Realising the need for a comprehensive single-volume work on the Quran for non-specialists who may not find the Ma‘ariful Qur’an accessible, Mufti Taqi Uthmani has produced The Noble Quran: Meaning with Explanatory Notes.

Printed on fine Japanese paper, the Arabic text of the Quran is set in the style of the Madinan mushaf. The thoughtful page design facilitates easy reading of both Arabic and English, with the Arabic text held at the top of the page, and the English translation and explanation occupying the lower two-thirds.

The Quran concludes with a traditional du'a of khatam followed by a 22-page index for easy reference.
