As such, I have hand-picked some of the most popular and widely used translations here. Some suffer from occasional linguistic fallacies, whereas others are victims of the translator’s bias - take up the case of “Lex Mahumet Pseudoprophete”, the earliest translation of The Quran in Latin, which was published with the sole motive of misquoting The Quran ( read more here). Furthermore, having a translation at hand can also be handy even if you’re not a Muslim, and you just wish to learn more about The Quran, or are studying for research and/or scholarly purposes. Not everyone has the skills, time or resources required to learn Arabic, after all. That said, reading from a translation has its own advantages. Thus, there is only so much a translation can do, and if you wish to *actually* read and comprehend the true essence of The Quran, the original Arabic version is what you should look for. Languages differ in terms of grammar, vocabulary, structure and form, and Arabic is not like English, much like Spanish is not the same as Korean. It must be noted, however, that grammatically and structurally speaking, no translation of any text can be called a *true* representation of the original. The modus operandi behind the selection of non-English languages has been simple: requests were received for a particular language, and if possible, a translation was added to this page for the same. Simply locate the one you want, right-click, and save the file.įirst up, there is a PDF of the complete text of The Quran in Arabic, followed by translations in English, and further followed by translations in few other languages. This page enlists some of the major translations of The Quran, all in PDF and available for free download. ![]()
