What Is on Each Page

Each page is divided into three columns that run side by side. The English translation of the meanings is on the left, the transliteration of the same verse in Roman letters is in the middle, and the Arabic text from the Mushaf Al-Madinah is on the right. Every verse is numbered in all three columns, so you can move from the Arabic to the sounds to the meaning without losing your place. The surah name and juz number are printed at the top of each page.

The English is the Hilali and Muhsin Khan translation, which adds short explanations in brackets where a phrase needs context. That makes the meaning clear for readers who are new to the Qur'an, while the Arabic stays in front of you on the same line.

Why Transliteration Helps

Many Muslims, especially new Muslims and those who grew up outside the Arab world, want to recite the Qur'an but cannot yet read Arabic script. Transliteration writes out the sounds of each verse in familiar letters, so you can say the words, follow the imam in prayer, and join your family in recitation from the first day. Because the English sits beside it, you also understand what you are reciting.

Transliteration is a starting point, not the goal. Several Arabic letters have no exact equivalent in English, so even a careful transliteration cannot show every sound perfectly. It works best alongside learning the Arabic alphabet and basic Tajweed with a teacher, and many readers find that the Arabic column becomes easier to follow as their reading improves.

How to Use It Day to Day

Start with the short surahs you already hear in prayer, such as Al-Fatihah, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas. Read a few verses in the transliteration while listening to a reciter you trust, then read the English to understand what you have recited. Next, try the same verses while looking at the Arabic, using the transliteration only when you get stuck. A few minutes a day in this way builds confidence quickly and makes your own salah more meaningful.

About the Translators

As the cover states, Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali held a Ph.D. from Berlin and was formerly Professor of Islamic Faith and Teachings. Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan was formerly Director of the University Hospital at the Islamic University of Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, and he also translated Sahih Al-Bukhari into English. Their translation of the meanings of the Qur'an is one of the most widely distributed English translations in the world.

Which Noble Quran Should I Buy?

Choose this edition if you want to recite and cannot yet read Arabic comfortably. If you already read Arabic, the Interpretation of the Meanings of the Noble Quran gives the same translation with Arabic and English only. For travel, see the pocket-size Noble Quran. To begin with the short surahs, choose Noble Quran Part 30 in English, and to learn correct pronunciation, Illustrated Tajweed Volume 1.

What does transliteration in Roman script mean?

The Arabic sounds are written in English letters, so someone who cannot yet read Arabic script can still say the words of each verse. It is printed beside the Arabic as a reading aid, not a replacement for it.

Who translated it?

Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, the same translation used in Darussalam's Interpretation of the Meanings of the Noble Quran.
